Not a god

Chapter 36: Flying Sword Cuts the Yellow Dragon

"It's nothing else, it's just that my hearing has improved. This is Chinese medicine that I learned. I just pinched your numb tendons. The numbness will heal quickly."

Everyone was gasping for breath due to the numbness.

The classmate in Chen Xi's class had his hands so numb that he had to wear a mask of pain: "When did our teacher start teaching Chinese medicine? Aren't we in the Department of Electronics?"

"I told you not to skip classes."

Chen Xi then said to Senior Brother Jin Ming: "Senior Brother, did you have insomnia last night? You slept restlessly and woke up several times in the middle of the night."

"You know this as well?"

"I also noticed that he drank alcohol last night, until about two o'clock, and I guessed correctly that it was Budweiser."

Jin Ming was dumbfounded, and got all the answers right: "So amazing? Chinese medicine can see so much? It can even see it from drinking Budweiser."

Ma Yin rolled his eyes at him and said, "Silly, you took photos of your barbecue last night and posted them on your Moments."

Chen Xi smiled without saying anything, and shot another three-pointer, which went into the net.

"Let's go and eat."

A large group of people went to the commercial street while bragging and chatting.

It's winter vacation now, and only one of the canteens is open. The food is terrible and often cold when you get there. Students all go to the commercial street.

The commercial street is right at the school gate, gathering students from several nearby universities. The whole street is steaming despite the freezing weather. It is crowded at mealtimes, and all kinds of small restaurants are full of people. The popularity remains undiminished even during holidays.

Six grown men went to a restaurant, boasted and chatted about gossip, and nine out of ten times they couldn't avoid the topic of "The Destiny Man".

They haven't awakened their destiny yet, and are all guessing what destiny they will awaken in the future. They talk about the destiny that has appeared on the Internet now, and also talk about several "gaming masters" who are currently popular on the Internet.

There is a very discussed person in their school, the sophomore Su Jiuer, who is very good at wielding a sword.

"What do you think is going on with this game?" asked Tan Bowen, Chen Xi's classmate.

"Who knows? Atheism is almost being overthrown now."

"Foreign media are making even louder noises, saying that we should share this amazing technology with others."

"Honestly, I don't know what the future will be like. Our generation has really run into everything."

To be honest, "The Destiny of Man" has little impact on ordinary people now. The biggest impact is on those experts and scholars, who are arguing so much that sparks are about to fly.

As they talked, they returned to discussing the current predicament of the game.

Online, no one can beat him.

They are still in school, and they suffer every day because they are attacked by office workers when they go out. They finally find a chance to sneak out, but it turns out that there are even more terrifying things in the dark corners of the city.

When Jin Ming heard that the guy from the sports department had actually gone out, he couldn't help but ask, "How did you escape from the Blackbirds?"

"Someone on the Internet has figured out something. Black birds like gold, silver, jewelry and money. You can lure them away with money, but this trick sometimes works and sometimes doesn't."

Senior Brother Ma Yin asked curiously, "Xiao Chen, you have awakened your destiny. Can you kill that black bird?"

What the hell are you doing? Chen Xi was eating when he was suddenly called.

"What is Lao Ma thinking? Didn't Xiao Chen say that he would enhance his hearing a little bit, so how to deal with that black bird?"

“This game is really unbalanced.”

"We are still discussing balance here."

Jin Ming looked at the top of a shop on the commercial street and saw a man standing there. He called out to the brothers:
"Look over there, there's someone cosplaying as Blackbird Man."

Everyone, including Chen Xi, looked up.

In other words, many people on the street noticed at this time that a 1.4-meter-tall dwarf wearing a straw hat and a raincoat had appeared in front of the shop selling cold-cooked rabbit.

Chen Xi could tell with just one glance.

What kind of coser? That’s a real office worker!

This monster, which was supposed to stay in the dreamland, came to the human world by accident!

"Then, what is that?"

"The... Blackbird in the game?"

There are mostly college students on the street, most of whom surf the Internet and have played "Kiss the Man".

Everyone was puzzled by the sudden appearance of this strange creature, and then they felt uneasy, and some of those who were closest to it unconsciously took a few steps back.

"really?"

"Ah-"

The next second, the social animal bird made an unpleasant bird cry, as terrifying as the cry of a crow.

It drew the long knife from its waist, jumped down, and started slaughtering like a wolf into a flock of sheep.

The commercial street instantly turned into a purgatory, blood splattered everywhere, the social animal bird jumped down and simply swung the blade, and a person fell in a pool of blood. All around were panicked men and women who squeezed through the crowd to flee.

"Run! Run!"

"How did that thing come out?"

"It's the Black Bird Man in the game!"

Panic spread instantly. Just like the lowest-ranking social animal bird in the dreamland, appearing among the crowd was a horrible disaster.

Chen Xi was too far away, and when he walked out of the store, the crowd pushed him away from the center of the massacre.

"Chen Xi, go!"

Jin Ming grabbed him and prepared to take him away first, then he looked up and shouted to the people on the street: "This monster likes money, throw away the valuables on you!"

That being said, the person running away will not really throw away the valuables on him. What should you do if you encounter a bear in the wild? Just run faster than your companions.

They don't have to throw it away, but those who are close to the social animal bird will die if they don't throw it away. It's all over once they take it out. Who carries cash now?
My pockets are empty and I can't take anything out.

The girl who was running at the back saw that she was being chopped, so she took off the gold chain around her neck and threw it away.

The social bird was so attracted by the glittering golden object that its eyes were fixed on it. It quacked twice and chased after the golden chain.

The girls also took the opportunity to escape.

Seeing that it was really effective, many people who were about to be caught up threw whatever they could.

Suddenly, a boy tripped and fell to the ground, and the tip of the knife stabbed at him the next second.

The boy has neither cash nor jewelry on him. Should he take the newly bought iPhone 15? If he doesn't want it, what should he do? Wait till you die!
"No, don't kill me—"

He was so scared that his pants were dripping with water. Just as the tip of the knife was about to stab him, a card flew towards him from afar and fell steadily into his arms.

It turned out that Chen Xi threw the Ox and Horse Worker Card at him using the throwing technique.

There was confusion in the eyes of the office animal bird. This person should be a office animal just like him.

In just a short while, the people around had already run more than ten meters away.

Of course, if it wanted to chase, a black crane could catch up with it by simply spreading its wings, so Chen Xi pushed through the crowd and headed over there.

If it's a dangerous matter, he certainly won't risk his life to be a hero, but he kills this ordinary office worker bird as easily as killing a chicken. Is it reasonable for you to let him stand by and watch?
However, before Chen Xi could squeeze through, at this moment.

"Hello--!"

A female voice came from above. Looking in the direction of the sound, I saw a girl who had climbed onto the roof of a cattle offal cart and was looking down at the birdman and provoking him.

"oi! oi!"

"Here here!"

"Can you see it, silly bird? Your aunt is here!"

A female student stood above the crowd, holding a bowl of noodles in one hand and waving the other hand, shouting loudly.

The sunlight seemed to be gathered on that man. She watched the black bird man looking at her, threw the bowl in her hand away, and took out a small knife from her waist.

It was the beef offal knife that I just picked up from the beef offal cart, and it was still stained with oil.

Su Jiuer went out for dinner today and didn't bring the ancestral sword with her. She didn't expect to encounter such a thing.

But to kill something like this, you don't need the ancestral sword.

The social animal bird found its next target and pounced on the human who dared to provoke it with a long sword in hand.

Looking at the monster rushing towards her, Su Jiuer remained calm and actually closed her eyes at this moment.

This is not a game, you only have one life.

She admitted that she was a little impulsive.

But she still stood up.

Without much thought, she stood up.

She recalled that her grandfather taught her martial arts when she was little.

"Xiaojiu, grandpa will teach you today that the greatest heroes serve their country and their people."

She knew that her grandfather had read many Jin Yong novels, but his favorite was still Guo Jing.

However, her grandfather still taught her a lot of useful things, such as her swordsmanship.

"Xiao Jiu, our Su family swordsmanship originated from the Fire Dragon Immortal, and was passed down from Lü Zu. It is called the Heavenly Escape Swordsmanship, and it claims to: First, cut off ignorance, greed, anger; second, cut off ignorance, love, and desire; third, cut off ignorance, troubles."

She leaped up, the cold winter wind ruffling her long hair, and the short blade turned into a streak of white light—

"Flying sword cuts the yellow dragon!"
