In the eyes of the people on Toad Street, the Lu siblings, who had always been the most miserable people on Toad Street, suddenly had their lives turn for the better.
Nobody knew where that brat called Lu Yin learned how to repair electrical appliances. He took out some trash from the junkyard, and after some simple repairs, it became a top-notch electrical appliance.
The neighbors on Toad Street were all poor people. Usually, they didn't have the money to buy expensive electrical appliances. When the Lu family brought out electrical appliances that were originally worth tens of thousands of yuan, but were now only worth one or two hundred yuan, the whole of Toad Street instantly became lively. Every family fought to buy such an appliance from the Lu family. In the end, they even had to reserve it for a month. The Lu family's living conditions took a complete turn for the better. At the very least, the lights in their house were not only on for an hour at night, but all night long.
However, the strange thing was that after this, the neighbors couldn't enter the Lu family's front door anymore. This was because the Lu family didn't let anyone in at all. They said that they were afraid that someone would steal Lu Yin's skills.
Regarding this, some smart people who were bored at home were very disdainful. They felt that the Lu family was petty. So what if they just took a look?
Could they learn it just by taking a look?
Gu Xuanyuan, who lived with the Lu family, could be considered to have witnessed the changes in the Lu family from beginning to end. For Gu Xuanyuan, the most direct change was the change in her diet. From the nutrient solution at the beginning, it had now become nutrient-soaked rice. This was a welcome improvement. It meant that the Lu family had entered the class where they could afford to eat rice.
Unfortunately, the Lu family still wasn't rich enough. Although Lu Yin's business was a business without capital, the waste electrical appliances in the junkyard were not inexhaustible. Moreover, most of these waste electrical appliances were extremely damaged. It wasn't easy for Lu Yin to repair them. At most, he could repair about three appliances a day. Therefore, Lu Xihua still worked hard every day, even though she kept complaining that she couldn't earn much money.
Of course, this had nothing to do with Guhan. He had been immersed in the game for the past few days. Because Qing Pin, Douyu, and Yi Tian weren't by his side, he couldn't free them in the game. Therefore, Guhan naturally stayed with King Yue every day.
When the Sword Maidens in the game merged with the Sword Maidens in real life, the Sword Maidens in the game would be equivalent to a game character. Therefore, when the Sword Maidens' consciousness did not log in with the Sword Wielder, they could only maintain their sword form and could not transform into Sword Maidens.
This way, the only sword lady that Guhan could transform into was King Yue. Originally, he could have the Juzi Sword as well. Guhan had already collected the token of Juzi Sword. He only needed to exchange for it in the game.
However, Guhan didn't want Juzi Sword to interfere too much with his world because Juzi Sword was destined to be abandoned by him. The more he experienced, the more cruel it would be to Juzi Sword.
In the past few days, apart from accompanying King Yue, Guhan spent the rest of his time grinding dungeons. Guhan had already cleared all the sword grade dungeons. Of course, his level was SSS grade.
Of course, Guhan cleared these dungeons for the rewards. After all, the basic rewards for the first SSS grade dungeon were increased by a hundred times. Among these rewards, Sword Element Pills were given to Guhan, causing Guhan's sword element in the game to skyrocket. In the end, it broke through 15,000 quarks, which happened to be equal to the number of sword element in the real world. The two returned to balance.
It was worth mentioning that two of the dungeons had broken records, causing Military Governor's name to rise twice in the game world. The entire forum was filled with posts discussing Military Governor.
However, the topic of these posts hadn't changed over the past few days: "The connection between Military Governor and the disappearance of the Wuhan Search Instance Dungeon."
This was because after Guhan refreshed the Wuhan Search Instance Dungeon's achievements, the Wuhan Search Instance Dungeon was deleted. Even an idiot would know that there was a connection. However, what did Military Governor do to make the Wuhan Search Instance Dungeon disappear?
This was the main point that the players were talking about. The discussion on the forum had exceeded 100 million replies, and the topic post had exceeded 100,000. There were hundreds of new guesses every day. Needless to say, there were actually a few people who guessed a bit of the truth.
By the way, do you still remember the nouveau riche player who tipped Guhan 2.6 million? At that time, Guhan had agreed to chat with him at noon the next day.
As it turned out, this nouveau riche was the owner of one of the Military Governor's high-level fan groups. This group was made up of nouveau riche players who had to pay a membership fee of more than 100,000 to join the group. There were only 26 people in the entire group.
When the nouveau riche saw the number 26, he thought that Military Governor had already found out about the existence of this group. In a moment of excitement, he transferred all 2.6 million to Guhan.
Then, the owner of the group warmly invited Guhan to join this super fan group. After Military Governor stated that he would only lurk and not speak, the owner had no choice but to join the group.
By the way, the name of this group was "Xuan-Yuan Sword." This group name wasn't chosen by Guhan, but by the owner of the group when the group was created.
In the words of the owner, sooner or later, our Military Governor would have to coordinate the sword-bearers of the Xuan-Yuan Sword.
One had to admit that this owner had the potential to be a charlatan. Right now, wasn't the Xuan-Yuan Sword in Guhan's hands? F * ck, now Guhan's name was Gu Xuanyuan!
…
As the days went by, Guhan gradually regained control of a small part of his body below his neck. He was already able to lift his head slightly. He didn't need to lie down all day and could also lean on a soft pillow to pass the day.
On the fifth day after Guhan came to the Lu family, a somewhat exciting moment finally arrived. Guhan had been looking forward to it for a long time. The only thing that attracted Guhan a little was the Eight Cities Sword Tournament that was held once every ten years had finally begun.
The Sword Element Oral Solution as a reward for the Eight Cities Sword Tournament was a fatal temptation for Guhan. If it was done well, it could even allow Guhan to reach the level of Sword Element required for a sword-bearer of the Spiritual Sword level, which was 100,000 quarks of Sword Element … Of course, this was only a theoretical possibility. As for the actual situation, it would have to be seen when the time came.
The Eight Cities Sword Tournament was divided into four stages. The first stage was the audition stage. No matter how many people signed up for the same group, everyone in the same group would be evenly distributed to the same 64 maps. Each map would spawn one million Yuan Kou. Finally, according to the number of Yuan Kou killed, the top 16 of each map would enter the second stage, which was the semi-finals.
There was no need to go to a special place to enter the competition. As long as you waited in the game, the system would automatically send you an invitation. As long as you accepted the invitation, you could enter the competition map.
The effective time of this invitation was ten minutes. If you didn't accept the invitation within ten minutes, then you would lose the qualification for the preliminaries and naturally have no chance to participate in the later battles.
Guhan immediately accepted the invitation and entered the competition map.
Because Guhan joined the treasured sword group, this group prohibited the use of famed sword level Sword Lady, so Guhan didn't bring Yue Wang into the map. Instead, he let her stay at home to rest. He only brought Qing Pin and Yi Tian into the dungeon.
According to the tradition of the Eight Cities Sword Tournament, the map for the preliminaries was the same but also different!
The reason why it was the same was because there were 64 different regions and the map for each region was the same. This way, it would be the most fair.
The reason why it was different was because every time the preliminaries were different, the maps for different groups were also different.
This time, the map for the treasured sword group that Guhan participated in was actually a vast ocean. In other words, the treasured sword group would have to fight with the Yuan Kou in the ocean.
This was a new battle scene for Guhan. Before this, Guhan had never experienced a battle on the sea … even the ship girl dungeon was held on the shore. He had never fought on the sea before.
Of course, although it was a battle on the sea, Guhan didn't swim in the water. Instead, he stood on a small bamboo raft. Looking into the distance, Guhan could see other bamboo rafts. As time passed, the number of bamboo rafts also increased. This meant that there were more and more sword bearers being assigned to this region.
"System Announcement: Player Military Governor is welcome to the treasured sword group preliminaries of the Eight Cities Sword Tournament. The competition will officially begin in ten minutes. During this time, you can familiarize yourself with the surroundings. However, you will not be fighting with any Yuan Kou or sword bearers.
[System Notification: All known information on this map can be obtained through the controller on your bamboo raft. Please protect your transportation tool properly. Once you lose your transportation tool, you will be automatically removed from the map, and the preliminary round will end. However, your kill score will not be affected.]
After listening to the system announcement, Guhan found the controller of the bamboo raft. There was a tablet on a tray on the bamboo raft. The information was displayed on the tablet.
[Yellow Sea Preliminary Competition Area 64
Vehicle Number: 000585
Vehicle Level: Level 1: Bamboo Raft (Required to Upgrade: 0/5)
Current Number of Participants: 512400.
Number of Yuan Kou in the Area: 1000000.
Your Kill Count: 0
Your Kill Rank: 0
Countdown to the start of the competition: 9: 24.]
On the left side of the notification, there was a small map. Guhan tried to tap on the map, and the bamboo raft automatically began to move towards the location Guhan had pointed at. It seemed that these bamboo rafts were controlled by a computer. It saved Guhan the trouble of controlling the raft … However, after thinking about it carefully, it made sense. If he had to control the raft while fighting, then the competition wouldn't be fair … What about those sword bearers who didn't know how to control the raft but were good at fighting?
Guhan carefully stared at the controller and found that the number of participants was constantly changing. This meant that there were still people entering the map.
Guhan observed the other participants around him and found that most of them were sitting excitedly and observing their surroundings. Their boats didn't show any signs of moving at all.
Seeing this, Guhan sneered. The ten minutes I gave you weren't for you to enjoy the scenery. These ten minutes would definitely play a crucial role.
After saying that, Guhan began to control his bamboo raft and moved towards the place with the most bamboo rafts.
