CHAPTER 34: CHAPTER 34: YOU’RE GOING DOWN THE WRONG PATH, HEY! (FIRST UPDATE)

Xu Nian looked at the Blood Demoness, feeling a wave of trepidation in his heart. What is happening here? Have I triggered the Blood Demoness’s hidden attributes? What should I do now? Continue or...

The Blood Demoness seemed to regain her senses as well. She pushed Xu Nian away and hastily straightened her slightly disheveled clothes. This bastard went too far! He actually spanked me. Growing up, I’d never been spanked by anyone. This damned bastard!

"Are you calm now?" Xu Nian picked up the map again and started looking at it.

The flush on the Blood Demoness’s face gradually subsided. Though her bottom still stung, she didn’t care at all. When she was spanked just now, for some reason, she suddenly felt an urge to be spanked more. It’s so shameful. But I really did want to be spanked.

After biting her lip and pondering for a long while, she finally said, "I want to enter the Contribution Hall. You have a way, right?"

Regarding the incident just now, she was too lazy to say more to Xu Nian. I will never admit that I wanted to be spanked.

Xu Nian slowly looked up at her and chuckled, "You, a mighty elder of the Blood Demon Sect, are actually interested in the martial arts manuals from my little sect?"

"So, are you going to let me in or not?" The Blood Demoness didn’t respond to Xu Nian’s comment but continued to press for an answer directly.

"Alright, I’ll give you the qualification," Xu Nian said as he studied the map. "But you should give up on those manuals. There are some storybooks inside, though. You can pass the time by reading them if you’re bored."

With the System in place, he felt quite at ease. Those martial arts manuals were for players to learn.

The Blood Demoness? No way.

Hearing this, a flash of joy crossed the Blood Demoness’s eyes. She had seen players take action last night and became very curious about the players’ martial arts, hence her desire to enter the Contribution Hall. Storybooks will do for now. I don’t have anything better to do anyway; it’ll be a way to kill time.

Immediately, she turned and walked out of the Great Hall, her eyes brimming with smugness.

Inside the Contribution Hall, a few players were selecting martial arts.

Seeing the Blood Demoness enter, their eyes also landed on her. It has to be said, this woman is truly top-notch! The game designers really know what players like, deliberately creating such an eye-catching NPC.

One of the players stared at the Blood Demoness, and after a moment, his body shuddered. That felt good! Nothing beats a female NPC.

Confused by their stares, the Blood Demoness smiled at them and then looked at the martial arts manuals stored on the shelves. The bookshelves were organized according to different martial arts. The swordsmanship section housed various sword techniques: The Nine Swords of Dugu, Tai Chi Sword, Jade Maiden Sword Technique, Evil-Repelling Sword Technique...

As she looked at the names of these manuals, the Blood Demoness subconsciously reached out to take one down.

Her fair hand touched the manual, but she found she couldn’t lift it at all. Hmm? Is it this heavy?

The Blood Demoness circulated her Internal Energy, attempting to pick it up with her Grandmaster Realm strength. Yet, she found that there was still no response. The manual did not budge an inch. So I can only come in, but I’m not allowed to touch these manuals?

The Blood Demoness’s expression turned ugly, and she walked toward the back shelves, heading straight to the area with the storybooks. This time, when she tried, she found that she could indeed pick up these storybooks.

As expected! Xu Nian is still wary of me, not letting me access the martial arts of the Profound Yellow Sect.

So many martial arts manuals would make any sect a formidable power. Even our Blood Demon Sect couldn’t produce so many martial arts manuals. The Profound Yellow Sect is truly unfathomable!

She glanced at the storybook in her hand, her eyebrows slightly furrowed. "Tyrannical President Falls in Love with Me"? Is this the name of the storybook?

Then she looked up at the other storybooks on the shelf: "Zhao Yun’s Legend: Zhang Fei Loves Me Again," "Great Ancestor, Please Cherish Me," "Decloaking with the General," "Whip’s Monologue"...

So many!

The Blood Demoness withdrew her gaze, intrigued, and opened the "Tyrannical President Falls in Love with Me" she held in her hand.

All this was Xu Nian’s arrangement. The System had also specifically arranged these storybook novels based on the Blood Demoness’s female identity.

From then on, the Blood Demoness embarked on a path of no return.

Meanwhile, Xu Nian, sitting inside the Great Hall, was contentedly studying the map. The location of the Profound Yellow Sect in the Jianghu could hardly be considered good. It could even be described as remote. Based on the travel time, it would take a full three days to reach Fengxiang Prefecture.

There were quite a few martial forces in the realm of Fengxiang Prefecture: Single Sword Sect, Merciful Temple, Celestial Eagle Gang, Thirteen Strongholds... That’s the place where one can truly come into contact with the Jianghu. Liang City is just small-time after all.

As he was reflecting, a System Task suddenly arrived!

[Task: First Step into Jianghu.]

[Introduction: The Profound Yellow Sect has begun to show promise, and it’s time for the people of the Jianghu to know that the Profound Yellow Sect exists in Fengxiang Prefecture.]

[Objective: Establish the fame of the Profound Yellow Sect.]

[Time limit: one month.]

[Reward: Depends on the host’s level of completion.]

[Hint: The host may delegate the task to the disciples, freely break down and assign the task, and the rewards are limited to Contribution Points; this task’s reward cannot exceed 500 Contribution Points.]

Hmm? 500 Contribution Points? Is the reward for this task really that high? It seems the System has also noticed that players have become a bit complacent. Using rewards to motivate the players... well, chives should know their place as chives, after all. Well then, I should establish the fame of the Profound Yellow Sect. With the Blood Demoness holding down the fort here, even if a Grandmaster Realm expert were to attack, I have nothing to worry about. High difficulty means high returns. I’ll just let the players stir up some trouble. It’s time for the Jianghu in Fengxiang Prefecture to become chaotic; only then can the Profound Yellow Sect develop better.

With Xu Nian’s decision, the players also received their corresponding tasks.

[Task: First Step into Jianghu.]

[Introduction: Within the boundaries of Fengxiang Prefecture, make a name for the Profound Yellow Sect within one month.]

[Reward: 500 Contribution Points.]

Once this task was released, all the players’ eyes widened. Five hundred Contribution Points? They didn’t care how difficult the task was. In the players’ eyes, the amount of Contribution Points determined their motivation. For 500 Contribution Points, they’d even go attack the sect leaders of major sects.

"Holy shit, isn’t the reward for this task too high?"

"One month, huh? Establishing a reputation doesn’t seem too difficult. Should we Life Players also join in?"

"Flourishing Flowers has already set out with a group; it seems they’re going to cause trouble for that Single Sword Sect."

"Suicide Squad is recruiting! Only those who aren’t afraid to die, come if you have over 100 Contribution Points!"

"..."

All at once, the players within the sect sprang into action. The task only mentioned establishing fame, but it did not specify whether it was infamy, a good reputation, or a glorious one, so it was all up to the players to decide.

Faced with substantial rewards, Life Players naturally chose to join the fray as well. They might not be adept at fighting, but that didn’t mean they were afraid to fight. We could even try a suicide run; trading 100 Contribution Points for 500 seems like a steal no matter how you look at it! We’ll risk it all!
