There's Something Wrong With This Account

Chapter 75: [Never-Ending Greed)

Translator: 549690339

MO Guanji was excited about his small courtyard.

This was a no-reset internal test, after all!

Being a sword-serving child for the Purple Palace, he felt like his future was amazingly bright!

Just thinking about all those screaming female players on the forums, if they found out he was part of the Purple Palace, wouldn’t they all be flocking to private message him?

Wow! This could solve his problem of being single!

A future surrounded by a sweet-smelling group of flowers! The thought alone excited him!

Even though MO Guanji had a slightly skewed perspective, if you really thought about it, there seemed to be some truth to it!

What surprised him was that two prompts appeared before him. The first one asked, “Do you want to join the Demon Sect?”

He had to join the Demon Sect before he could officially become Lu Xun’s sword -serving child.

“So the Purple Palace originated from the Demon Sect!” MO Guanji realized with a start.

No wonder they wore all black and carried a noble and cold air about them. It goes hand in hand with the image of the Demon Sect’s elites!

The Demon Sect seemed to be cooler than the other sects… isn’t the Purple Palace a good example of this?

“I’ve made up my mind! I choose the Demon Sect!” MO Guanji could barely contain his excitement.

After all, being strong was just a matter of different versions, but looking cool was a lifetime thing!

Moreover, the Demon Sect, as one of the top three Demon Sects, was obviously promoted heavily during the “Heavenly Dust” campaign. There’s really no room for hesitation!

MO Guanji directly clicked on ‘join’, and instantly felt like he was ahead of all other internal test players.

And in fact, he was.

After he chose to join the Demon Sect, another prompt appeared before him: “Do you want to become Lu Xun’s sword-serving child?”

“So the Purple Palace’s real name is Lu Xun,” MO Guanji quietly thought to himself.

Without hesitation, he once again selected ‘yes’.

At this moment, MO Guanji was basking in the glory of his character panel, unable to imagine that the Lu Xun in front of him was also merrily looking over his own role panel.

Lu Xun’s master-disciple system was activated, and MO Guanji’s name had appeared on it.

Though he was only a sword-serving child and could barely be considered a named disciple, he still appeared in the corner column for named disciples.

Even with Lu Xun’s transcendent status in the Demon Sect, his sword-serving children were only considered outer sect disciples.

If MO Guanji continued down his current life path, he was destined to die from overexertion while playing games.

Lu Xun would keep an eye on this and try to curb his internet addiction where possible.

At the same time, because MO Guanji was the first to join the major sect, Lu Xun didn’t feel like he owed him anything. Instead, he felt like he had rewarded him generously.

“Now that we’ve squared away, I need to put him to good use!” Lu Xun began contemplating: how useful could MO Guanji be as his first tool person?

Soon, he had an answer in mind.

“MO Guanji, my name is Lu Xun. You’ll know my true identity in due course. But this journey into the mundane world is a secret. Understand?” he offered a preventive injection.

MO Guanji immediately nodded, pecking like a chicken.

“It seems that I can’t even post the real name of the Purple Palace on the forum for the time being. What if an idiotic player runs into me, shouts ‘Lu Xun’, and the Purple Palace ends up killing me?” he thought to himself.

Being killed was a small matter, after all he can be revived, losing only some experience points. But missing an opportunity and upsetting Lu Xun would be a huge loss!

He was counting on Lu Xun to help him leave his single life behind!

Although he felt that the game was more fun than getting a girlfriend at the moment, having been single for millennia, he was just lacking experience!

What if this opens a door to a whole new world?

So, he was determined to keep the real identity of the Purple Palace a secret!

He knew men liked individuals who could keep a secret.

Seeing MO Guanji’s serious face, Lu Xun felt he had taken his words to heart. He continued, “I need to cultivate quietly for a few days, you can freely roam around the city. Return here after ten days.”

This was how he set MO Guanji’s position—as a trigger for hidden tasks!

This guy was a goddamn Destiny Emperor; without a doubt, he was a human Lucky Koi. More than the ever looming risk of a sudden death, he could be considered a child of luck!

From the beginning, he had been able to trigger a series of hidden tasks and joined the Small Study in the back mountain in one go; it seemed that he should still be able to trigger more now.

That’s why he thought it was useless to keep this kind of person around him—He should let him go out and explore more.

After thinking this over, Lu Xun added, “If you really encounter any problem you can’t solve, you can come to the tavern and inform the little servant.

Understood?”

The underlying meaning was—if you come across a difficult hidden task, you have to tell me!

Lu Xun was determined to piggyback on the tasks!

“Understood, understood!” MO Guanji nodded again, pecking like a chicken. Whatever you say goes!

When he heard that the Purple Palace was willing to help with his tasks, he was overjoyed. He felt like a leading character with a very powerful supporter behind him!

He didn’t know the true intentions of his “supporter”.

Lu Xun wore a warm smile which made MO Guanji feel like he was bathing in a gentle spring breeze. For encouragement, Lu Xun raised his favorability by five points.

“Ding! Your favorability with Lu Xun +5!”

MO Guanji was so excited he felt like he might faint.

“Off you go, my minion!” Lu Xun thought to himself.

“Brave young man, go and make miracles!” MO Guanji cheered himself on.

After MO Guanji left, only Ji Li and Murong Yan were left in the courtyard.

As Lu Xun was lost in thought, studying his master-disciple system, Ji Li glanced at him from time to time, as if she wanted to say something but couldn’t find the courage.

Murong Yan saw all of this, smiled sweetly, and gently patted Ji Li’s shoulder. Then, she excused herself from Lu Xun and went inside.

While Ji Li watched Lu Xun, who was still deep in thought, she took a deep breath to calm her nervous heart.

She didn’t understand why Lu Xun was always with MO Guanji or why he took him in as a sword-serving child, but she knew… her chance was here!

This shameless little sister would seize every opportunity to get closer to Lu Xun.

So, with a push of courage, she said, “Senior Uncle.”

“Hm? What’s up?” Lu Xun looked up at Ji Li.

Ji Li was standing there, her head low, and Lu Xun guessed that she probably couldn’t even see her toes…

She quickly raised her head, glanced at Lu Xun, and lowered it again. Her little hands could not help but lightly clutch the black robe on her body. In an “I’ll do this no matter what” tone, she said.

“Senior Uncle, I want to be your Sword Servant Girl.”
