220 Rotten Luck! Awakening a Person Who Is Still Dreaming (1/2)
”Hmph! As expected of the best player under Mystical Realm and the top of the Famous People Rank, you live up to your name. This time, I, Lu Mingyue, admit defeat. Nian is yours.”
Once the large group of actors left, the mysterious man recovered from the shock of Happy being a successor of an ultimate technique as well. He pushed against his chest and swept his gaze over Nian's carcass. He felt no reluctance to part with it whatsoever. His gaze lingered for a while on Happy, Little North, and Thunderous Battle's faces.
When he spoke next, his voice sounded even more like that of a woman. It was gentle and charming. ”But we will meet again, and next time… Hmph!”
Once he finished speaking, he rushed away. In an instant, he traveled dozens of feet. In the blink of an eye, he left the peach blossom forest and vanished from the trio's sight.
”Who will want to meet you again?!” Once Lu Mingyue vanished from the peach blossom forest, Little North remembered the man's final sentence, and he rolled his eyes. ”Stupid pervert! You learn a martial art, and you want to inherit Dongfang Bubai's personality as well? I can't stand him!”
”That should not be his intention.”
”Hmm?”
When they heard what Happy said, Little North and Thunderous Battle looked at him in surprise.
When he saw the puzzled looks on their eyes, Happy smiled and explained. ”There are restrictions when learning ultimate techniques. Take mine for example. It only has skills and uses up a lot of qi. It also doesn't have any damage. Also, I can only use it in close quarters. On top of that, the stronger an ultimate technique is, the more exaggerated are its restrictions.
”I believe that even if the practitioner of Sunflower Manual doesn't need to perform self-castration, they need to imitate Dongfang Bubai's gentle and feminine personality as closely as possible, or else, they will not be able to bring out the might of Sunflower Manual, which would then lose Dongfang Bubai's charm. It would become the same as any other normal martial art.”
In truth, this was something one of the successors of Dongfang Bubai who appeared later on revealed, because he could no longer withstand the pressure and questions from the world around him. That player also had a girlfriend in real life.
Little North and Thunderous Battle were silent, but they appeared to have understood something, because they nodded silently. 'So that's how it is!'
”By the way, Nian.”
Little North perked up. He jogged to Nian's pitiful and ignored carcass.
In general, it was a lucky beast that had countless treasures, so countless people would fight over it. However, it had died a long time ago, but no one remembered to take the mysterious treasures hidden in its body. It was very inappropriate for everyone to act like that.
Once Little North reminded Happy of the fact, Happy remembered that Nian was a creature that had a chance to drop good items. He bent his knees slightly and moved next to Little North.
As it happened, Little North had only managed to dig out around ten sparkling gold ingots after searching through Nian's carcass for half a day. He was stunned.
”Is my luck really that bad?”
He had heard that some Nians would only drop gold ingots and not treasures, but he did not expect that such a thing would happen to him. The face muscles twitched slightly, and he looked like an innocent who had just been dealt a very traumatic blow.
Thunderous Battle just kept sighing and shaking his head by the side.
”Kid… you'd best check your fate with fortune today when we go back. How can you actually run into a successor of an ultimate technique who wants to kill you to shut your mouth when you practice martial arts, and then, when you discover Nian, only get gold ingots? Ah… your luck is so bad that I can't even find it in myself to rebuke you. It's best that you don't open any bags or treasure chests today…”
Once he had his list of unfortunate events enumerated by Thunderous Battle, Little North felt like crying, but he did not have any tears. The only thing he wanted to do right then was to look for a corner, crouch down, and start drawing circles in dejection.
”Fate with fortune?”
Happy's eyes lit up as if he had just remembered something.
Under Thunderous Battle and Little North's curious gazes, he wrote a letter, tied it to a messenger pigeon's legs, and swiftly let it fly.
”What is it?” Thunderous Battle asked curiously. This was the first time he saw such an excited expression on Happy's face.
Happy smiled without saying anything. He had a profound look on his face while he said, ”You'll know later.”
In truth, the memories of the later stages of the game were more prominent in his mind, and many of the events of the early stages were forgotten a long time ago. They had not been important after the fact, especially if they had made him waste a lot of time searching for them and had rather little value.
