What do you mean the game swordsman I controlled has come back to life?

Lu Li left the exchange pavilion and arrived at the steward's hall mission pavilion, where there were quite a few people.

Lu Li opened his backpack, clicked on the token, and then clicked "use".

The token emitted light, and several NPCs in the crowd had white beams of light appear above their heads.

At the same time, the NPCs gathered together also looked in his direction.

"Junior sister, why did it take you so long to arrive? I've been waiting for you for ages."

A man dressed in the white robes of a disciple of the Shangqing Sword Sect said helplessly.

He was about to set off when he received a message from his master saying that his junior sister was also going to participate and asked him to protect her.

Lu Li noticed that Nie Ning was displayed above the NPC's head, while the other NPCs had no names.

I guessed that this was either a side quest or a useful NPC in the main storyline.

For example, it introduces the plot, the BOSS's skills, how to find the BOSS, and other guiding functions.

"Let's go." Lu Li typed in the chat box.

Even with a main storyline, players can still get distracted by other things while exploring an open-world map.

This situation often results in some players killing the final boss before even starting the main storyline in the starting village.

"Let's set off. On the way to the teleportation array, I'll give you some information about this mission."

I think everyone is aware of the recent annihilation of Jiang Xie Shi Xiu.

They are infiltrating the borders controlled by some demonic sect, claiming to be rogue cultivators.

They occupied Stone Village about twelve years ago, cultivating using mortal flesh and blood...

Lu Li wanted to skip the conversation, but found there was no option, so he had no choice but to follow along.

"The inability to skip dialogue is a major flaw in this game."

Fortunately, the characters will automatically follow you during cutscenes.

Just then, Lu Li's phone rang; his takeout had arrived.

He took the takeout from the door and placed it on the table. The story was over.

"Junior sister, did you understand?"

"Understood," Lu Li typed in reply.

The game interface transforms into a dilapidated and gloomy mountain village, with rotten wooden beams and collapsed thatched huts, and many human bones on the ground. There are occasional rustling sounds coming from the surrounding forest.

Lu Li had no idea where he was or what he was supposed to do.

All he knew was that he was about to unleash a massacre.

Unsurprisingly, we entered a dungeon.

Lu Li controlled his character to follow in the middle of the group, with the named NPC protecting him behind him.

They walked along the dilapidated mountain path, where there were skeletons and huge, fearless rats by the roadside.

A coughing sound came from inside the half-collapsed house, and a ragged, bloody, rotting humanoid creature emerged from a broken wooden door.

It wasn't the gray mold, but a bright red, blood-red putrefaction, with red and white pus oozing from his wound.

Yue Qingwu felt uneasy and nervous, as this was her first time carrying out a sect mission.

She had always cultivated under her master's protection, and this was her first time going out to train, although it wasn't her own initiative.

"I'm hungry, I need to eat..." The rotting man's voice was like a pot of thick, mushy mung bean soup.

As he finished speaking, a large number of rotting people crawled out of the dilapidated houses next to him.

They all came toward them.

One of the Shangqing Sword Sect disciples held his index and middle fingers together in front of him, and a long sword shot out from behind him, striking the rotting man at high speed and piercing through a hole from front to back.

The rotting person seemed oblivious, with a thick red mist and stench emanating from the wound.

"Be careful! These are people corrupted by the Evil Blood Technique. Their bodies contain a deadly poison that can cause even cultivators to rot. Do not touch or inhale it."

Nie Ning gave instructions to his companions.

"I used a flying sword to kill them from a distance, freeing them from their predicament."

Jiang Xie Shi Xiu must be hiding here.

The fact that the disciples of the Shangqing Sword Sect were able to accept this mission shows that they were confident in their own abilities.

Nie Ning's only concern was his junior sister.

With a pure heart, he was unaware of the dangers of the cultivation world.

"Junior sister, stay close to me."

Nie Ning controlled his flying sword to kill enemies, and said to Yue Qingwu behind him.

A few minutes later, Nie Ning and the others freed the rotting, pitiful mortal.

"Junior sister, are you alright?"

When Nie Ning turned around, his junior sister was nowhere to be seen.

No, where did my junior sister, who's so much bigger than me, go?!

Where are they?!

"Oh no, oh no, I'm going to be beaten to death by my master! What am I going to do?!"

Nie Ning was in a panic.

Her master doted on this junior sister, who was the youngest disciple in their lineage and deeply loved by many senior brothers, sisters, and masters.

Despite his master's repeated instructions, he immediately threw it away.

"Hehehe, you should worry about your own safety first."

A sharp, piercing sound rang out in the village.

While they were fighting, a faint red mist swirled around the entire village, surrounding Nie Ning and the others.

"Oh no! This is putrid poison! Get out of here!"

Nie Ning's expression changed drastically. Everyone's face turned red, their bodies went limp, and some people's skin had already begun to ulcerate.

They released a spiritual energy shield to block the mist, but the white spiritual energy shield emitted a hissing sound as the ice and snow melted when it touched the red mist.

"You bunch of Qi Refining stage cultivators dare to come to our brothers' territory."

Stop struggling. This rotten mist is corrosive; even someone at the peak of Qi Refining would be corroded by it.

This was specially prepared for you, the people of the Shangqing Sword Sect.

"Tsk tsk tsk, the flesh and blood of cultivators are far more nutritious than that of mortals."

Nie Ning gritted his teeth and knew he had to leave first and return to his sect to get reinforcements. The intelligence was wrong, and this was not something they could handle.

There's also my junior sister; we must get rid of this fog, find her, and leave this place as soon as possible.

Jiang Xieshi's cultivation level is far higher than the intelligence reports suggest.

However, as they prepared to leave, a large number of rotting people emerged from the red mist, along with five cultivators dressed in red Taoist robes behind them.

They were surrounded.

"You can't go anywhere, so just obediently become nourishment for us brothers."

On the other side, Lu Li controlled his character to grab a rotting human head and slam it against a protruding rock, causing it to burst open like a watermelon, releasing a large amount of red mist.

"This is a hand-to-hand execution without weapons; they just randomly pick objects around to collide with. It's really violent and bloody."

Lu Li discovered that executions in this game don't necessarily require weapons; characters can execute characters unarmed in various ways that interact with the character model.

If there are no objects around, the character will use parts of their body.

For example, just now I grabbed a little monster's head and smashed it against my knee.

"But will games released this way really pass censorship in the future?" Lu Li expressed his doubts.

He really enjoyed the game; the graphics were fantastic.

The NPC storylines are just tedious and long-winded.

After Lu Li realized that he could move again after the cutscene, he headed towards an unknown road.

Why go? Because there are monsters there.

He goes wherever there are monsters.

Based on his years of gaming experience, in games with weak guidance, where there are no indications of the BOSS's location, you can go wherever there are small monsters.

The little monsters are the guides.

Players call this method "clearing the map." It doesn't matter if you get lost; if there are no monsters, it means you've already been there.

Anyway, Lu Li unknowingly arrived at the BOSS room while playing the game.

Seeing that the green experience bar for his character in the upper left corner had increased slightly, Lu Li was very satisfied.

As expected, leveling up and fighting monsters can increase experience.

Lu Li understood that they lacked experience, since they were just minor monsters.

You'll definitely get a lot of experience after killing the dungeon boss.

He controlled the character to walk up to the corpse and press the F key to search it.

Yue Qingwu felt like vomiting; she had never experienced such a violent scene before.

Moreover, after killing him, this demon would plunder his rotting body for valuables.

"How come there are only a few copper coins?"

Lu Li was speechless. The drop rate of these monsters was really low. He had killed dozens of them and hadn't gotten a single low-grade spirit stone.

Hmm, does that mean you have to kill cultivators to get spirit stones?

That's possible, after all, mortals have money for mortals, and cultivators have money for cultivators.

Since he had already searched, Lu Li put the copper coins into his backpack.

Just in case, after all, some games have some useless materials that seem useless most of the time, but you might need them at certain times.

He can't possibly run a map just for a few pieces of junk materials.

Since we don't know what kind of items they have yet, we'll collect them all, whether they're coins or other objects.

The character's interaction is indicated by a faint flash of light from the ring in their hand.
