There's Something Wrong With This Account

Early in the morning, as the sun rose, Lu Xun pushed open his door, looking utterly exhausted.

He felt as though he was about to shrivel up and die.

This time, the fatigue was even more pronounced than last time. He had just gone through a trial and his exhausted mind hadn’t fully recovered when he experienced another wave of his second senior sister’s stormy love.

Nineteen times in one night, any of you would also be drained.

Mao Nanbei slept in today, so Lu Xun nonchalantly sat on her dedicated rattan chair, slumping like Master Ge.

After slouching for a while, Lu Xun leisurely took out two dates from his storage ring and ate them. As he looked at them, four words popped into his mind: “Eat the date pills.”

After eating the dates, a cool sensation swept through his body, slightly easing his discomfort. His spent body regained a tiny bit of energy, reassuring him that he wouldn’t suddenly drop dead.

After sighing deeply, Lu Xun stared at the blue sky and white clouds, lost in a daze, and then a smile crept onto his face.

“Regardless, I have indeed improved.” Lu Xun said to himself.

Maybe it was because he obtained the Swordsmanship Aptitude+l, or maybe it was because he leveled up twice in a row. Either way, he had clearly become more enduring compared to the 36 times he was “killed” on the first night, which was now down to 19 times.

“It’s a good thing, a good thing.” Lu Xun comforted himself. Maybe after dying repeatedly, he would soon get used to it.

About half an hour later of slumping on the rattan chair, Mao Nanbei sprang out from the window.

The little girl didn’t like to use the front door, jumping here and there like a kitten.

Lu Xun had seen videos where kittens loved to squeeze into narrow places, and they always managed to make it through, as if their bodies were made of water.

Mao Nanbei didn’t seem to have this quirk, she just simply loved to leap about.

Usually, Lu Xun would have gotten up to make way for Mao Nanbei to sit on her rattan chair, because it was her chair after all.

But he was too tired today, so tired that he didn’t want to move. So, he merely shifted to free up half the seat on the rattan chair.

Mao Nanbei initially wanted him to leave, but after seeing his haggard face, she huffed and, surprisingly, sat down next to him.

She swung her little feet in the air, asking, “Little Junior Brother, have you comprehended the Sword Heart?”

With all the commotion from yesterday, there was no way Mao Nanbei didn’t know about it.

“Mm.” Lu Xun nodded languidly while slumped on the chair, resembling a lump of moving mud.

“What does it feel like to comprehend the Sword Heart?” Mao Nanbei asked curiously.

She was a blade cultivator, so she was somewhat curious.

“How am I supposed to describe it?” Lu Xun thought.

After all, his Sword Heart wasn’t actually comprehended, he freeloaded it.

So, he vaguely replied, “It’s very mysterious, can only be felt, not described, I really can’t think of how to describe it.”

“Mm, it should be that way.” Mao Nanbei nodded, thinking that Lu Xun wasn’t wrong.

Once she sat next to Lu Xun, her cat ears twitched, as if she remembered something, so she asked, “If I remember correctly, you don’t even have a sword yet, right?”

Lu Xun nodded. Besides a storage ring, he didn’t really have any other equipment.

So without another word he said, “Thank you, Fourth Senior Sister.”

A slow question mark appeared on Mao Nanbei’s face, “What are you thanking me for?”

“Eh, isn’t Fourth Senior Sister going to gift me a sword?” Lu Xun shamelessly started to extort.

Mao Nanbei:

She looked at Lu Xun with disgust, then stuck out her butt and directly pushed him off the rattan chair.

“The chair is more comfortable with just one person!” The little girl sighed in reminiscence.

Lu Xun wasn’t angry, anyway he had rested enough. He dusted himself off and went to the kitchen to cook breakfast.

Mao Nanbei’s ears twitched, and she immediately followed, grinning, “Little Junior Brother, I was just joking earlier! Slurp!”

“What are we eating today? Slurp!”

“Can we have pumpkin porridge for breakfast today, Little Junior Brother?

Slurp Slurp!”

In the end, they really did have pumpkin porridge for breakfast.

Pumpkin porridge is quite healthy. Pumpkin contains cobalt, an essential trace element for insulin synthesis in pancreatic cells, and helpful in preventing diabetes.

Cooking porridge may seem simple, but it actually requires good control over the heat. Lu Xun was very proficient in making it. After Mao Nanbei tasted it once, she couldn’t forget about it.

After cooking, the two of them headed to the bamboo grove.

The second senior sister, sitting on the big rock, was still very thin. Lu Xun had no intention of fattening her up like Murong Yan. He only wanted her not to be so skinny. From the looks of things, it would take a while to fatten her up. The feeding plan has a long way to go. Comrade Lu Xun has to work doubly hard!

Actually, not just Mao Nanbei loved to drink porridge, the second senior sister also liked it a lot.

They were all cultivators, but the sound of “whoosh whoosh whoosh” echoed throughout the bamboo grove as they tried to cool down the porridge.

Actually, they weren’t afraid of the heat. It just tasted better at the right temperature.

They could use spiritual power to cool it down, but doing so would take away the pleasure of eating. It was about enjoying the process!

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!”

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh! ”

The quiet bamboo grove started to come alive with the hustle and bustle of early morning.

After a full meal and drink, Lu Xun and Mao Nanbei, as usual, leaned back on the bamboo tree, rubbing their full bellies clockwise with their right hands, their faces content as they digest their food.

Their actions were perfectly synchronized, maintaining a uniform rubbing rhythm. Anyone who saw this would’ve thought it was a father-daughter bonding time.

Lu Xun appeared to be spacing out, but in reality, he was browsing the

Heavenly Dust game forum.

Ever since the forum opened, Lu Xun would always take some time to browse it after meals.

Although the Heavenly Dust game hadn’t officially opened, there wasn’t much useful information, but there was no harm in looking.

In the 22nd century, during the publicity period of Heavenly Dust, it had caused much anticipation among the masses. So even though they hadn’t officially started playing the game, a lot of players were already chatting on the forum enthusiastically.

The flow of time in Heavenly Dust was different from reality. The ratio given by the official was 10:1.

Through scrutinizing the posting time in the forum, Lu Xun found that it was the same currently.

Three days ago when he was browsing the forum, the nutty netizens’ posting times were on the 11th. Today, when he went to check, it was still the 11th.

It was ten years in the Heavenly Dust for one year on Earth. Suddenly, Lu Xun felt old.

At the time of Heavenly Dust’s open beta, it was July of the year 4000 by the

Heavenly Dust Calendar. Now it was September of the year 3997 in Heavenly Dust. It seemed like there were nearly three years left. But in reality, it wasn’t that much time. It was only slightly more than three months.

Today, he found an official thread in the forum. It was lucky players being drawn for a closed beta testing!

Lu Xun couldn’t help but become serious.

“Are the players… coming soon?” He wondered.
