Chapter 922 - 16: New Storyline Begins, Mountain Villa Management Meeting
After Ning Zheng broke through the Realm and settled down, it was already four days later.He found that as he grew stronger, the cycle of closing off for a breakthrough became longer and longer.
Breaking through takes several days, consolidating takes several days.
Most of the time is spent on breakthrough.
If it were someone else, they'd have to be cautious and may need a hundred times more time than Ning Zheng.
This counts as a fortunate problem.
Of course, maybe Ning Zheng was overthinking.
His breakthrough speed is fast now, but after passing the Three Calamities and Seven Tribulations, it won't be fast anymore.
"No matter what, this whole period has been about closing off, closing off, closing off."
Ning Zheng opened his eyes, feeling a bit uncomfortable, which might be what a fortunate problem feels like.
He looked at the sky and realized it was already dusk. The blacksmiths outside were ready to log off, chirping away, chatting, bragging.
As for the recent brick-moving experiences of the Marriage Dress Town Master trio?
Ning Zheng logged onto the Forum to check the information and see if anything had changed during the public test these days.
On the Forum, several people were discussing their plans for playing Pseudo-human.
Among them, the No-Life Whale, extremely annoyed:
"I'm so angry! Those idiots, they're crazy! I actually got third place in the No-Life Whale Imitation Competition."
She got angrier as she spoke:
"They don't understand the No-Life Whale at all! She is just a blacksmith girl, not someone wearing a miniskirt, high heels, dancing the so-called forging mechanical dance! Although I also think the mechanical dance is cool."
Evidently, the No-Life Whale felt a great sense of humiliation.
Do others see her like this in the eyes of the Pseudo-human?
At precisely 7:01, she lay in the True Disciple dormitory of Xirong Academy, staring at the ceiling, feeling utterly defeated.
It's over, I've really become a knock-off.
I can't even act like my own Pseudo-human version, failing to win first place.
Her passionate desire to demonstrate herself as the No-Life Whale felt beaten and targeted by the world, and the bright highlight in her eyes disappeared.
Of course.
Princess Xin'e and Marriage Dress Town Master, who excel in singing and dancing, claimed the first place in their Pseudo-human impersonation competition.
With their lifelong mastery of talents, they easily beat their fake counterparts in dance, naturally without worry.
Instead, they felt in their element.
Singing, laughing, bragging with the funny group...
They gradually adapted to this community, enjoying themselves, freeing their minds.
Before, they always held noble statuses in front of others, but now, letting go of their pride, in a place where no one knows them, they dance exuberantly, feeling exceptionally thrilled and satisfied.
This is the charm of anonymity online.
You can goof off online without concern; hidden identity, changing clothes, nobody cares.
Just like traveling, once you let go, you play happily.
Do the other two companions know your real identity?
Others' embarrassing history is held in hand, everyone ate dirt together, being teased by those damn Pseudo-humans, who would expose themselves?
And they can't reveal it outward, only those on the Forum know.
The group now has an idea: everyone has some black history, any newcomers must also be tricked into eating dirt, creating their own black history to avoid ridicule.
Eating dirt will be the mandatory process of joining their Pseudo-human family.
And these days, several people have gradually started to enjoy this, having a great interest in artificial Immortal Fate, spending money using the Yin Yang Creation Furnace, synthesizing races, synthesizing Divine Beast eggs...
Simply a super big opportunity.
Of course, several people also updated the .
Newly added nineteenth starter strategy.
[When a Pseudo-human questions your exposed strong talent, don't panic! With a serious face, say: because we sports students are like this... the other will stop questioning; sports students seem to be the genius synonym among Pseudo-humans, currently tested effective by three people!]
[Twentieth, the sun is actually a way to exploit us, forcing us to be sunburned while working in the square, asking for tips... otherwise, several must be sunburned to death daily!
And those damn Pseudo-humans won't sympathize with fallen companions, instead, laugh and say: look, a blacksmith has heatstroke, why don't we throw him into the Forging Furnace to roast.
Then today, a tycoon blacksmith came in, shouted at the sky: today's overcast expenses are on me, Young Master Zhao!
Suddenly, the weather changed, leading to a whole day of cool brick-moving weather!
Too refreshing! Having money is great, I must earn lots of money, buy weather, and flaunt it in front of those damn Pseudo-Pseudo-Persons!]
Is this person's strategy guide becoming a diary?
Ning Zheng blinked.
You can tell the diary writers aren't upright people, the Marriage Dress Town Master indeed has a comedic edge.
But seeing the native blacksmith had integrated into the group, Ning Zheng couldn't be bothered to interfere.
Instead, Ning Zheng focused on another matter, during his retreat, Jiu Shui actually left the Nine-State straight away?
Without any hesitation?
Directly went to the neighboring Celestial Destiny World?
Based on this speed, he might be able to become Immortal in three to four thousand years, which is just over a month?
No matter if he's going to the Immortal Realm as a miner, joining some powerful forces, or going solo, such a formidable figure ascending to Heaven will surely cause some disturbance in the Immortal Realm.
However.
Any civilization system has its origins... Jiu Shui's system will certainly arouse many people's curiosity, tracing back to its homeland.
The Nine-State of this Lower Realm... might be completely exposed in the eyes of the Immortal Realm!
This is not good news.
And the most famous Xirong Manor in Nine-State will certainly be a major focus.
Frankly, this group of Nine-State people finding our manor's exact location is already a headache.
If Immortals come here for tourism, frantically searching for our Xirong Manor, can we even survive?
"Need a plan to stop this."
Ning Zheng walked to Sword Casting Manor, pushing open its door, "With the continuous ascension of Nine-State people, exposure seems unavoidable."
...
...
Sword Casting Manor.
Last night, the determined No-Life Whale, revitalized, pushed a giant Forging Furnace to the square, energetically jumping down from the furnace cart, shouted loudly:
"Brothers, the No-Life Evil Cult next door is extremely sinister! Their No-Life Whale is even studying our Shadow Crocodile Technology, copying us! How can we tolerate her forging with our signature technology, even surpassing us?"
"Today, I'll be the knock-off version of [No-Life Aunt], teaching everyone No-Life Whale's forging technology, Shadow Crocodile Technique!"
"You know, after planting Shadow Crocodile Spiritual Root, my innate talent is great, able to use the recorded Shadow Crocodile Blacksmithing Skill to forge Upper Grade Magical Artifacts, I believe Divine Artifacts won't take long either."
"I believe many newbies want to become a blacksmith."
She passionately delivered a speech, deciding to abandon the damned dance competition that humiliated her, to conquer these idiot Pseudo-humans with forging skills,
"Forge with me! Learn a money-making skill, the new Immortal Realm expansion pack is about to open, time waits for no one, learn quickly to stand out in the future."
"Now, as long as you pay, I openly teach, guiding forging!"
The crowd below suddenly became enthusiastic.
"Do your best!"
"Beautiful girl teacher!"
"Love it, love it."
A group of people energetically began learning the skills of the expert.
Although someone wondered if this person is like Daojiu in the real world, a generational blacksmith, how come so impressive?
Their answer was: sports students are like this.
They couldn't argue further, after all, there's something to learn, it's not bad.
Some blacksmiths started imagining:
"Once we learn No-Life Whale's technology, we Xirong Manor can proudly claim she's the imitator."
"Haha, copying her, copying her!"
...
No-Life Whale was satisfied seeing this, clapped hands, calming the crowd: "Everyone, don't rush, I'm leading you to surpass No-Life Whale! First, our step is weighing forging materials, examining purity..."
Her eyes were ablaze.
Why did the fake No-Life Whale, dancing mechanical dance, win first?
Today, I'll overtake on the curve! Entering the Pseudo-human world, I must show real skills!
Passing by, Ning Zheng was very satisfied, casually threw a Village Sword to encourage, "No-Life Aunt? You did well, a promising talent."
No-Life Whale joyfully shouted upon gaining recognition from the Pseudo-human administrator: "Master, do you want to watch me forge?"
"No."
Ning Zheng shook his head, "After one incense stick, our manor holds a management meeting discussing future development policies, meaning you have one incense stick of teaching time left."
"I hope you'll attend this meeting."
