Is this NPC even playable if it's not nerfed?

Chapter 146 Qi: You came to ambush my respawn point during the Chinese New Year?

"Bang bang bang..."

As the old year gave way to the new, thick smoke billowed through the streets of Wangyou County, accompanied by the sound of firecrackers, and the ground was covered with piles of red firecracker paper.

Children dressed in new clothes, carrying lucky money given to them by their parents, wander through the streets and alleys.

Chen Yiyi carried her little windmill and ran around with her cousins, having a great time.

"There are fewer people in the city now, and I'm not used to it."

Lu Yuan sat on the rooftop, gazing at the street, and spoke slowly.

The streets were as bustling as ever.

There were just far fewer people.

The main reason is that today is the first day of the lunar month.

Players also need to celebrate the Lunar New Year; who would log into the game during the holiday?

Even those who don't have time to go home for the Spring Festival or who can't get tickets still have their own ways to reunite.

For example, family members who are thousands of miles apart can gather in one city and place, and reunite through games, overcoming geographical limitations.

Who says celebrating the Lunar New Year in a game isn't the same as celebrating the Lunar New Year?

"Yes, there are fewer supernatural beings in the city now, and it's a bit hard to get used to."

A wisp of pink landed beside Lu Yuan, and the Peach Blossom Fairy appeared, carefully stepping onto the roof, afraid that she would fall.

"Lu Yuan, when do you think those supernatural beings will return?"

The Peach Blossom Fairy asked curiously.

"I'll be back after the New Year."

"We celebrate the New Year, and so do the supernatural beings. They also need to return to their own world to reunite with their families. After all, for them, life in the other world is the real one."

Lu Yuan said calmly.

"Where is your father's apprentice? Why isn't he here?"

"Didn't they say his family broke up?"

The Peach Blossom Fairy couldn't find Chai Jin in the house and became somewhat curious.

"What are you thinking? Chai Jin's marriage broke down, but he still has other relatives. He's not a widow."

"But what are you doing running out of the temple instead of staying in there?"

"Shouldn't this be the busiest time at your temple?"

"You still have time to come out?"

Lu Yuan picked his nose, flicked his fingertip, and the booger on his fingernail flew dozens of miles away.

Boom~
On the first day of the new year, people worship gods and ancestors.

As the only temple in Peach Blossom Village, this must be the busiest time for Peach Blossom Fairy.

"cut."

“They worship gods, they worship my idol.”

Does it matter whether I'm there or not?

The Peach Blossom Fairy said nonchalantly.

"That's true."

"Lu Yuan."

"Hmm? Speak quickly if you have something to say."

"The river god of the Qi River is about to be resurrected."

Suddenly, the Peach Blossom Fairy revealed some news that Lu Yuan was particularly concerned about.

"Ok?"

"Location?"

Lu Yuan's expression changed slightly, and he then asked Fairy Peach Blossom where the Qihe River God was located.
"It's roughly the distance from upstream of Wangyou County to downstream of Heishan City."

"But you don't need to worry too much."

Even if it were to come back to life, it wouldn't dare to run wild over here.

"Unless it wants to die again."

"The river god shouldn't be that stupid, knowing he's no match, yet he still willingly comes to his death."

The Peach Blossom Fairy did not believe that the Qi River God would dare to offend Wangyou County again.

"It's hard to say. You can't judge spirits and monsters by common sense."

"Few of the spirits I've encountered are intelligent."

Lu Yuan shook his head; he disagreed with the Peach Blossom Fairy's statement.

"Hey, hey, hey, what do you mean by this?"

What do you mean by "spirits and monsters have no brains"?

Do I look like a brainless monster?

"Lu Yuan, don't resort to personal attacks during the Chinese New Year."

The Peach Blossom Fairy was displeased.

So you're indirectly calling me brainless, right?

Lu Yuan, don't go too far.

Did I name you specifically?

"It's Chinese New Year, I really don't want to hit you."

"After the New Year, I need to go on a long trip. If we don't deal with that monkey, what will you do when it comes back to life?"

"Don't you know your own limitations?"

Lu Yuan was speechless.

"what?"

"This……"

"Okay, you're right." "The resurrection of spirits can be interrupted in the later stages."

"All you need to do is find it that is resurrecting, kill it, and you can stop its resurrection."

"The Peach Blossom Fairy said softly."

"I understand."

Lu Yuan nodded and then disappeared from the rooftop.

……

An underground space at the bottom of the Qihe River.

A giant blood cocoon, pulsating like a heart, was being transmitted through blood threads into the cocoon.

Inside the blood cocoon was a giant monkey.

Suddenly, the ground shook, and a figure landed in front of the blood cocoon.

The monkey inside the blood cocoon seemed to sense the danger, and suddenly opened its eyes, seeing the person it dreaded most.

The monster killed it.

Before the monkey could react, the man made his move.

He raised his hand and threw a punch.

"No~"

The Qihe River God, who was on the countdown to his resurrection, had no way to resist.

Even if it were still alive and in its prime, let alone dead, it still couldn't withstand a punch from Lu Yuan.

This monster.

Ah ah ah ah ah.

Qi opened his mouth wide and shouted loudly.

Lu Yuan's fist was already upon him.

"boom……"

With a loud bang, the huge blood cocoon burst open instantly.

Qi, who had not yet truly revived inside the blood cocoon, once again entered a phase where his stats were reset to zero, awaiting resurrection.

"Grass."

In the unknown space, the giant monkey Qi angrily berated Lu Yuan for his lack of martial ethics, saying that he had actually done such a beastly thing as blocking the respawn point.

Is this something a human being would do?
You beast, you beast!
……

"It's done."

Lu Yuan withdrew his fist.

He was satisfied with the mangled remains.

It seems that for a long time to come, this monkey will no longer be able to wreak havoc on humanity.

"Buzzing..."

The Blood Blade at his waist trembled slightly. Lu Yuan knew what the demonic blade was planning to do. He drew the demonic blade and threw it into the pile of wreckage.

A moment later, Xuehuang finished his delicious meal and returned to his scabbard with satisfaction.

……

"Brothers, after dinner, it's time to go online."

"I haven't been online for two days, and I miss it."

"This game company is really stingy. They didn't even have any Spring Festival events during the Chinese New Year. They could have just given away some top-tier martial arts skills. That would have been so much better."

"To be honest, I think it's a good idea. I'll go to Eternal Company another day to have a chat with the planner."

"You're thinking shit."

"You want to sit down with the planner? Do you even know where the planner is? Do you even know where Eternal Company is?"

"This company claims to be headquartered in Guangzhou, but in reality, there is no registration information for this company in Guangzhou at all. Nobody knows where Yongheng Company's headquarters is."

"Looking for a planner? You're overthinking it."

"Wow, is it that mysterious?"

"Super mysterious."

"Hey guys, wanna do a mission together?"

"Let's go."

……

Xiangxi.

A group of more than ten players took advantage of the Chinese New Year holiday and entered a forest in western Hunan.

A secluded forest.

One of the forbidden areas in western Hunan.

Legend has it that the Dark Forest is the burial place of ancient gods, and it is fraught with danger. Even a first-rank martial artist cannot guarantee that he will come out alive.

Danger and opportunity coexist.

Legend has it that this secluded forest hides many long-lost traditions. If you're lucky, you might find ancient divine weapons or ancient cultivation techniques; if you're unlucky, you'll become the spoils of the next adventurer.

"Holy crap, this miasma is poisonous."

"Quickly, quickly, take the antidote pill."

"As expected of a forbidden area, they immediately increased the difficulty as soon as we entered."

"Niubi."

"By the way, what have you prepared?"

"I've prepared explosives, kerosene, phosphorus fireballs, and some poison, etc. Oh, right, I forgot to bring any medicine. Could you give me some?"
