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

Chapter 196 Challenging Chen Yiyi? Overestimating oneself, offline recruitment.

[Those monkeys in Annam are just pathetic; they can't even handle the NPC forces, yet they dare to dream of marching north?]

[Hahaha, no way, these monkeys actually plan to head north and attack us? As far as I know, the highest-level player in Annam is only around level 60, barely keeping up with our top tier. With that kind of strength, they think they can go north? Hahahaha.]

[There's only one player from Annam who's level 60 or higher, while we have tens of thousands of level 60 players. Where do you get the confidence to go north? Even our neighbor India isn't as arrogant as you.]

[Hey, forget it. Things are too bad over there. Their sects are too brutal. They're always killing players and making all sorts of sacrifices, hahaha.]

No wonder the Indian players haven't been showing off lately; they've been hunted down by NPCs.

[Players of Dayong, don't be so arrogant. My King of Annam has already gathered his forces and will kill you sooner or later.]

An Annan player couldn't stand being treated like this, being treated like dirt.

Enraged, he shouted and yelled on the forum, posting all sorts of hateful messages.

However, to others, these posts only made him appear as an impotent, furious husband.

They are too weak.

The number of players is small, not even a fraction of what others have.

The system is weak, with a small number of Qi Dao inheritances and incomplete Qi Dao inheritances. Resources are scarce, equipment is ridiculously bad, and the players' own combat power is even weaker.

With the strength of players from Annam, players from the Great Yong Dynasty would feel it was bad luck to even glance at them.

They also headed north.

What the hell are you going north for?

The border troops stationed in Jiaozhi by the Dai Yong Dynasty were enough to give Annam a hard time.

Even if players from Annam manage to avoid the border troops of Jiaozhi and travel through Jiaozhi into Lingnan, they will face Lu Yuan, the strongest NPC in the current version.

Players who have challenged Lu Yuan know how hard his fists are and how painful they are.

Did you manage to get past Lu Yuan?

Even if all the players from Annam were to attack together, or even if players from Dayong, India, Europe, and the entire world were included, they would still be easy prey.

"Gather? Hahahaha, those monkeys in Annam say they're going to gather a large army to attack us? Hilarious!"

The players in front of their computers pointed at the posts on the forum and laughed.

A player nearby walked over, glanced at it, and burst out laughing.

"Still want to hit us? Let them get past the Demon Yin Gate before they make a sound."

"I remember their levels were all quite low; it would take them at least a year or two to get past the Demon Yin Gate."

"Stimulate."

……

"Ta-ta-ta, ta-ta-ta."

The 30,000 border troops transferred from Jiaozhi County finally arrived in Lingnan, only to learn from the strange people of Lingnan that the remnants of the Demon Yin Sect had fled to Annam and become famous.

The general leading the troops, in particular, had a face that turned bright red.

The players who told him the truth were too embarrassed to speak.

Players couldn't help but admire the general's expressive face and vigorous spirit; he could blush in a second, so he must be in excellent health.

……

The government office of Heishan City.

Many masters, summoned by imperial decree, gathered together.

General Li, who had come all the way from Jiaozhi County, sat in the front row. Although his level of second-rank martial artist was not the top in the world, he was the governor of Jiaozhi County. His father was General Li, who was known as the King of Jiaozhi. Although his martial arts level was not high, he was proficient in military formations, and his 30,000 elite soldiers were enough to contend with first-rank martial artists.

His main task was to contain and surround the enemy.

Seated at the head of the table were two eunuchs.

They are the heads of the East and West Depots, respectively, and both are at the Acquired Realm.

They are also the main force this time.

Besides the imperial court, other martial arts sects also joined in.

The Kunlun Patriarch of the Kunlun Sect, the Long-Browed Taoist of the Wudang Sect, the Unangry Monk of the Shaolin Temple, Nan Haotian of the Haotian Sect, Shu Laogui of Guiyin Mountain, and so on.

"No way, I just came from Kunlun, how did those remnants of the Demon Yin Sect end up in Annam?"

"Has this old man's trip been for nothing?"

The Kunlun Ancestor looked like he hadn't woken up yet, his face was flushed, and he was holding a wine pot in his hand. As he talked, he took a couple of sips.

The monk who was sitting to the side blushed.

A strong smell of alcohol hit his nose.

Why should a monk suffer like this? And were the officials doing this on purpose? Why did they arrange for him to sit next to a drunkard?

Grass.

"Could you fucking drink less?"

"The smell of alcohol on you is wafting into my nose. I'm a monk, you idiot."

The monk who never got angry finally did, and stood up to roar at the Kunlun Patriarch.

"No, no, no, don't fight!"

"We're all on the same side."

Nan Haotian, who was standing nearby, immediately pulled them apart, fearing that the two might start fighting on their own.

“Old monk, we’ve known each other for so many years, don’t you know what kind of person he is? This drunkard will die if he doesn’t drink an ounce or two a day, so just let him have his way. And don’t swear all the time. You’re a monk, and monks aren’t supposed to swear.”

Nan Haotian comforted him.

The Kunlun Ancestor shook his head.

"Sorry, I'll drink less."

The Kunlun Patriarch hid the wine pot. The Unangry Monk glanced at the two eunuchs watching the show above, snorted, and then turned to Nan Haotian's position. The two switched places, and only then did things calm down.

"You two eunuchs, what are your names, Commander and God of Arrest..."

Old Ghost Shu glanced at the two people at the head of the table and said in a low voice.

Because the two officials who summoned their fellow martial arts practitioners last year to wipe out the remnants of the Demon Yin Sect were not the two of them.

Over the years, the groups that have had the most interaction with the martial arts community are the Six Doors and the Embroidered Uniform Guard. They are quite familiar with the heads of these two departments, know their personalities, and are easy to communicate with.

And these two old eunuchs.

They had only heard of their fearsome reputation, had never interacted with them, and didn't know whether they were easy to get along with.

"The God of Catchers and the Commander went to the desert, where the Embroidered Uniform Guards found the Demon Yin Sect's stronghold."

The old eunuch from the Eastern Depot squinted and spoke slowly.

"I see, thank you for your explanation, Master Eunuch."

……

Wangyou County.

On the open ground south of the city.

Two figures are sparring.

"Aunt Dong, give up, you are no match for me."

"I broke through to the fifth rank a few days ago."

"Aunt, you are only a sixth-rank official."

Chen Yiyi was short, holding a pink pig-head longsword in her hand, and her body was covered by a thick wall of wind.

Her opponent was Luo Ningdong, Lu Yuan's junior sister, whom Chen Yiyi had to call aunt according to seniority.

"Yiyi, how do you know I'm no match for you if we haven't even fought?"

"Let me make it clear beforehand that this is a friendly spar, and you may only use your sixth-grade true qi."

Although Luo Ningdong is known as the Ice Fairy, she has mastered the Frost Palm technique of the Tianshan Sect to an unparalleled level. Even if she encounters a fifth-rank martial artist, she has the ability to fight back.

"Are you sure you want to fight?"

Chen Yiyi asked another question.

"Ah."

"Alright, Yiyi, it's as you wish."

Chen Yiyi swung her sword and slashed, a gust of wind howled, and a wind blade several meters long flew out. Luo Ningdong took half a step back and dodged to the side, leaving a deep sword mark on the open ground behind her.

Luo Ningdong stared wide-eyed, somewhat incredulous.

Is this the power of the sixth-grade realm?
Chen Yiyi, you didn't use the power of a fifth-rank official, did you?

That's not right. Even a fifth-rank weapon shouldn't have such destructive power.

This level of destructive power is something even a third-rank expert couldn't achieve.

Anyway, even if her father, Luo Qinghe, fired a shot with all his might, he couldn't achieve such destructive power.

"Yiyi, did you use fifth-grade power?"

"No, Yiyi was just swinging her sword casually; she didn't use her true energy yet."

This is a basic attack, not including skill damage.

"This is Yiyi's true strength."

"The first move of the Heaven-Shattering Divine Palm: Overwhelming Force."

Chen Yiyi dropped her longsword, waved her hands, and the wind wall beside her instantly switched to attack mode, with endless gales appearing out of thin air.

They came from all directions.

Chen Yiyi swung her hand.

A massive wind blade, tens of meters long, appeared out of nowhere.

As the wind blades passed by Luo Ningdong, they cleaved the ground behind her, creating a deeper, larger, and longer trench.

This wind blade is more than ten times more powerful than the previous one. This is Chen Yiyi's true tool.

"Ah, this..."

Luo Ningdong fell into deep thought.

He originally thought that with the help of his grandmaster, he had broken through his realm and would be able to unleash his full potential, and even defeat Chen Yiyi across realms.

I never expected this, I really never expected this.

Chen Yiyi's moves are so terrifying.

Did I really figure this out from the fake manual my senior gave me?
This isn't right.

My senior's fake manual is clearly not like this.

Is this reasonable?

That doesn't make sense.

"Aunt Dong, should we continue?"

Chen Yiyi stared at Luo Ningdong with wide eyes.

"I'm not fighting anymore, I'm not fighting anymore, Auntie is no match for you."

"Here you go, these are soft-boiled eggs that your aunt made herself."

Luo Ningdong took out a small bag from her bosom and handed it to Chen Yiyi. Yiyi took the bag, took out an egg from it, and eagerly licked it.

Her expression changed instantly.

This soft-boiled egg is so delicious!

"I like it. I like it very much."

"Aunt Dong, Yiyi likes you the most."

One bite, two bites, and Chen Yiyi swallowed an egg.

There was a satisfied expression on his face.

"Is it tasty?"

"Delicious, delicious, super delicious! This is the best egg Yiyi has ever eaten."

Chen Yiyi nodded excitedly.

"Do you still want to eat?"

"think."

"What does Auntie want Yiyi to do? Just tell me."

"Murder or arson? Yiyi is a professional."

Chen Yiyi looked as serious as a suicide squad member.

Yi Yi brand assassins, you can trust them.

"If you learn the second move of the Heaven-Shattering Palm, I'll make as many soft-boiled eggs as you want, Yiyi."

"Really?"

"real."

"A gentleman's word."

"It's hard to chase a horse."

"Pinky promise."

Chen Yiyi extended her little finger.

Luo Ningdong smiled and hooked her little finger around Chen Yiyi's little finger as well.

"Pinky promise, never to change it for a hundred years."

"Hahaha."

Chen Yiyi skipped and hopped home, clutching the last soft-boiled egg.

As disciples of various sects were ordered by the imperial court to suppress the remnants of the Demon Yin Sect, the entire Lingnan region saw a significant influx of outsiders.

Especially Wangyou County.

As the most famous county in Dayong, many disciples from prestigious sects took this opportunity to come to Wangyou County.

As soon as they entered the city, they were stunned by the three statues in the square.

Holy crap, the statue comes in other colors too.

The most eye-catching thing is naturally the statue of Chen Yiyi.

Although Lu Yuan's statue is more dazzling, everyone knows how powerful Lu Yuan is.

They were more curious about Chen Yiyi, who was standing next to Lu Yuan.

This little one.

What makes him worthy of being ranked second on the list of prodigies?

A few fools tried to test Chen Yiyi's abilities, bullying her and challenging her, but that was the end of it.

With just a casual move from Chen Yiyi, they were defeated.

With a single point of that pink pig-shaped sword, wind blades flew out, defeating any move he made.

In an instant, all the martial arts disciples who challenged Chen Yiyi became a laughing stock.

Losing to a seven-year-old kid, how can I possibly save face?

"This is hilarious! There are actually people who dare to challenge Chen Yiyi these days, hahaha."

"Hilarious, or is it a real-life challenge?"

"To lose so badly in front of everyone, how embarrassing is that?"

"I'll be laughed at for three days straight."

"Three days? That's too short-sighted. This is something to laugh about for at least three years."

"Hahaha."

Several players sat in the private room, laughing as they spoke.

"By the way, someone wanted to recruit players to cause trouble in Annam yesterday. Did you sign up?"

Suddenly, a player said.

"What do you mean? What are you going to Annam for?"

"What else can we do? Cause trouble, of course!"

"That's what a tall player said."

"Do you remember their clamor at the international forum a few days ago?"

"Can we swallow this insult?"

"If we don't give them a couple of punches, they'll think we're afraid of them."

“The monkeys in Annam have always been like this.”

One of the people sitting at the same table laughed.

"Registration for this event is in-person. Who of you registered?"

"Damn, I'm only finding out now, how do I register?"

"Where are you?"

"Yangcheng."

"Sure, there's a registration place in Guangzhou. Just add 'Mouse Loves Rice' as a friend and register at his company. Players from the Lingnan region all register there."

"He'll cover all the food, lodging, and even the loot, so don't worry."

The player at the same table smiled.

"All-inclusive? Holy crap, what kind of big move is this? A nation-wide war?"

"It's not a nation war yet; the version where nation wars have started isn't available."

"A national war is only considered a national war if it is initiated by the leader of a nation. How could that idiot on the other side have the guts to initiate a national war?"

"We're stirring up trouble."

"How?"

"What else can we do? Gather a group of people, sneak into Annam, and then launch a fierce attack, seizing territory and slaughtering everyone in sight."

"This is just stirring up trouble."

One player said with a laugh.

"Wow, what a wonderful birth! I love it."

"I'll add him as a friend. I have to sign up and join the fray."

"My father fought against Annam in real life, and his son wants to fight against Annam in the game too."

"whee."

"Let's go together, I'm in Guangzhou too."

"Anyway, the boss guarantees a minimum return, so I can play however I want."

"Hehe, is there a reward?"

"Yes, I heard that the person with the most points gets a house as a reward, plus a Japanese adult film actress appearing for three days and three nights."

"Ahem, let's put the house thing aside for now. Is that someone who suddenly appeared out of nowhere really there? Three days and three nights? Can I choose for myself?"

"can."

"I'll do anything for Mikami-sensei."
