Chapter 82 Calling in the Troops

Jiang Fan can now freely allocate his resources to the actions of the two characters from the first chapter of the game, as his legendary status has already reached over nine hundred points.

Moreover, Rias's videos in [Life Theater] continue to gain traction, with viewership soaring rapidly both domestically and internationally.

Rias's stunning silver hair and blood-red eyes, her ruthless and swift swordsmanship, and her proud figure bathed in red and gold holy light have captivated netizens from all walks of life.

Even on video platforms, some people specifically buy cross swords to pose and imitate Rias's actions and outfits, accompanied by very appropriate background music, and many bloggers have gained millions of likes and views as a result.

When Jiang Fan was making the cut, he only included the cool kill shots, using back views and the objects being hit to showcase Rias's power, thus leaving a lot of room for imagination while avoiding the exposure of Rias's core information.

While domestic netizens are more interested in the shock and excitement, Rias's battle highlights on the oil tank and push fork directly hit the G-spot deep in the souls of Westerners.

"Oh my god! That's the sword in the lake! It definitely is!"

"She is the true Queen of Britain! That girl is the embodiment of the legendary Knight King!"

"Oh, how did she end up in Xia Country..."

Such exclamations were commonplace. Jiang Fan even saw on the official account of the [Court of Judgments] that Rias had accepted their invitation, but was currently staying in Asia to help Xia Kingdom suppress the anomalies.

Such outrageous statements weren't limited to Europe; there were many in Emilia as well. The "City on the Mountain" even went so far as to portray Rias as a savior, linking her to the arrival of God and claiming that it was precisely because she was God's chosen people that they were able to successfully defeat the "Pale Knights," and that they were the two-thirds who survived. Wolf gained a huge following with these kinds of statements.

Although the City on the Mountain had never contacted Rias from beginning to end, it was the biggest beneficiary of this move. The Tribunal exercised some restraint, while the Xia Kingdom, due to concerns about its relationship with the Divine Tower, only made a brief report.

However, in a sense they weren't wrong. Rias was indeed God's chosen one, but this God wasn't the one they believed in, but rather Jiang Fan, the game player.

However, things probably won't be so good for the Bradford family. A third-tier pan-sequence [Headless Knight], who could potentially rise to the core of [Duraham], died silently overseas. Many people will probably be losing sleep over it.

The two episodes have already gained over 300 Legendary Points. As long as Jiang Fan finishes them off, he will immediately have four-figure Legendary Points, which is more than enough to exchange for Action Points for his game characters.

He immediately pulled out the game cartridge of [Ni Yao]. Unlike Rias's red cartridge, which was as fiery as a ruby ​​and even had a metallic warmth, this cartridge had a warm and smooth texture similar to ancient jade.

The sticker on the cassette tape features a silhouette of Ni Yao in profile, with her eyes slightly closed, her hands clasped in an ancient sacrificial prayer.

This jade cassette tape has a high artistic value.

Jiang Fan rubbed his hand against the surface; it was indeed very different from the gem-like feel of Rias's.

Jiang Fan even had a custom-made card case made to store these cartridges. Now he can earn several thousand yuan a month... Well, indeed, as the leader of a mysterious organization spanning the globe, this amount of money is ridiculously small.

But Jiang Fan was cautious. He was only omnipotent in the game console. In reality, unless he was strong enough to give the Earth a full head of hair with one punch, Jiang Fan would never get involved with the God Tower.

The funding for the Tower of Gods' operations has been largely resolved, thanks to the new scenario "Li Xiuyi's Abnormal Affairs Agency".

[Accumulated Funds]: 3,098,000 ("Peace Fees" and "Feng Shui Consultation Fees" for the powerful and wealthy)

[Accumulated Relics]: 7 items (Click to expand details)

[Tianhai Prestige]: Distinguished (850/1000, already possesses a very good reputation, gains the "For My Sake" skill, which can resolve many civil matters after being triggered)

[Divine Incense Offering]: Peaceful (Night Wanderer is stationed here. The incense offering is bound to the "City God's Decree". The more prosperous the incense offering, the stronger the power fed back to the minor deity. The [Night Wanderer] and other sequences can only be advanced through this method.)

[To-Do Pool]: 12 orders (divided into white and blue bubbles. White bubbles represent the daily harassment from the powerful and wealthy seeking reassurance, while blue bubbles involve urban rumors involving low-level oddities).

[Interior Decor]: Simple (very ordinary decorations, peeling tables and chairs, and a peeling altar; perhaps it's time for a renovation).

Li Xiuyi currently has over three million yuan in his account, and Tianhai City has given him the green light, so the control over money leaving his personal account is very low.

That's good, so that Rias won't be short of money for a plane ticket to Jingchu, and then we won't have to arrange a hotel or anything.

Although Jiang Fan couldn't see how much money Rias had, judging from her daily mission diary, she seemed to have always lived a very frugal life.

Every night she would go to the convenience store to buy discounted food, she always wore "Silver Fox" clothes, and she would stare blankly at the vending machine.

Anyone who didn't know better would think they had mistreated her.

After inserting the red and gold cartridge representing Rias into the game console, the image representing Rias lights up again on the game screen.

This was the first time Jiang Fan had observed this silver-haired girl up close from a perspective that was extremely close to reality.

Unlike the pixelated figures, she is even more serene when she is quiet than in the character illustration. You can't even detect a trace of royal majesty in her expression as she sleeps soundly on the table; all you see is the freshness and relaxation of an eighteen-year-old girl.

A spring breeze blew in from the window, playing with the girl's hair by her ear.

It's a pity about the game's technical capabilities. Jiang Fan feels heartbroken whenever he thinks that no company in the world can compare with Myth Wars. The lifelike modeling is just too perfect, like a 2.5-dimensional world coming into reality.

However, even the prettiest young girl has to get up and work. Jiang Fan didn't know when the second act would start, so naturally, the faster he could advance the plot involving "Lin Qian", the better.

Hearing the call of the gods, Rias's eyelashes trembled, as if a butterfly was fluttering its wings and dancing on her face, before she completely disappeared into the pool of blue, icy spring water.

How could this happen...?

Rias's fair face immediately flushed crimson. She had actually fallen asleep so unguarded. This era really made it easy for people to let their guard down.

She was about to respond to the deity when she suddenly felt the call pause for a moment.

Jiang Fan felt rather embarrassed looking at the girl on the screen, because Rias, who was at home, was still wearing old-fashioned clothes, or rather, she seemed to have no idea what modern clothes were.

During normal combat, he wears a cloth belt that has been passed down from the Roman era. However, his attire is very casual now that he is on vacation, and he looks particularly relaxed as he lies on the small tatami table.

Seeing that the girl was still twisting her body to look for him, Jiang Fan calmed himself down and assigned her a task.

The current favorability level is already maxed out, so there's no need to show any concern or concern to avoid lowering it and affecting gameplay. Therefore, the best approach is to simply assign tasks directly.

Otherwise, Jiang Fan felt he couldn't control his immense power.

"Going to buy underwear?"

After arranging the mission to go to Jingchu to help the other members of the Divine Tower, Jiang Fan immediately assigned Rias a major task.

So Jiang Fan first explained some common sense about modern times. Although the game console was supposed to impart relevant knowledge to Rias, it was normal for it to have some omissions. Maybe Rias herself didn't understand it.

Although she is a princess from the Middle Ages, she must still develop morally, intellectually, physically, aesthetically, and practically.

However, Rias's reaction was both unexpected and reasonable. She simply felt that fighting in a bra was too cumbersome, and a chest binder perfectly matched her fighting habits.

But this is a command from the gods, so she must carry it out.

Jiang Fan finally felt relieved after watching the naive girl leave.

Otherwise, if others see him, they might think he's playing some kind of AAA adult game.

Then Jiang Fan drew the card of "Li Xiuyi". This kid's inner demon index is almost 80. However, Jiang Fan already has Rias's mark, so he is not that expectant.

After all, Li Xiuyi is only at the second rank. Although he has the purple-grade rare item [City God's Decree] by his side, he does not possess it directly like Ni Yao. He is only recognized as the owner of the agency, which is still very different.

After inserting the card, Jiang Fan witnessed a scene that left him speechless.

The interior of Li Xiuyi's shop could be described as antique, magnificent and grand. In just a few hours, the firm had been completely transformed.

There were also many incense sticks and money on the ground, as well as various props for praying to gods and Buddhas.

Are non-mainline characters really this unconventional?

Jiang Fan stroked his chin and clicked on "Drinking Together".

Seeing the mirror inside the shop ripple, Li Xiu knew that the inner demon had appeared.

They're probably here to check on their preparations, since they're heading to Jingchu City, which is surrounded by the Hundred Thousand Mountains, teeming with all sorts of poisonous insects, wild beasts, and countless monsters and spirits. Naturally, they need to make plenty of preparations.

I think my arrangements are acceptable, right?

"You did all of this?"

Jiang Fan asked directly, since in Li Xiu's eyes he was a demonic voice of the Great Dao, unlike Lias and Ni Yao who had to put on airs of gods.

"No, it was the work of that Night Wanderer. She said that since you are the City God of this place, your dwelling should not be so shabby, so she had those powerful and wealthy people voluntarily repair it."

Li Xiu explained everything in detail.

"What's with all this paper money on the ground?"

"Um, she said she's a little short of money lately."

?

Jiang Fan stroked his chin. "That makes sense, doesn't it?"

Aren't the day and night wandering gods government officials of the underworld? Are they embezzling from their posts?

Jiang Fan knew that in Taoist mythology, one should not burn paper money for the high-ranking officials and deities, such as the Three Pure Ones, the Four Emperors, and the Thunder Gods. Paper money was considered a blasphemous and unclean thing to them.

As for the patrolling gods of the lower realm, gold and silver paper money are acceptable. However, the day and night patrolling gods are public officials who monitor good and evil. In many legends, burning paper money for them to ask for help will be refused and reported to the underworld.

However, the underworld probably doesn't exist in Tianhai now. The only superior of this Night Wanderer is the City God, so let him be a little greedy.

The little girl didn't live much of her life. She didn't get to experience anything truly valuable or meaningful in her life before she passed away. Early death is the greatest punishment a person can receive.

"It's perfect that you've taken all seven of these relics. There are a few more on their way, which I'll bring to you along with them."

Li Xiuyi held the belongings from the box behind him and placed them next to the mirror, looking like a newly hired junior employee.

That kid's words are really unlucky...

If it weren't for the fact that his faith level was quite high, Jiang Fan would have thought that he was deliberately playing a prank on him.

However, it's also possible that they've gotten used to communicating with the Night Wanderer.

Jiang Fan chose to accept the seven relics and put them directly into the summoning pool base, exchanging them for 19 [Keys of History]. With the remaining twenty, Jiang Fan will soon be able to collect enough to guarantee a summon.

To achieve such success in just a few days of operation, this firm has truly made the most of its business.

However, this is because everyone's previous stockpile has not yet been cleared out. Once this period of opportunity passes, the difficulty of collecting relics will increase dramatically.

Jiang Fan still doesn't have any good items to give Li Xiuyi. This guy was excluded from the first chapter's card pool, so his growth path is indeed a bit stuck.

However, this journey is long and arduous, and without assistance, Li Xiuyi's strength would likely make him a liability.

After thinking it over, Jiang Fan decided to give Li Xiu a ten-pull, just in case he could get something useful.

[You can spend 30 Legend Points to add background information to non-main story characters. The summon pool will attract the corresponding cards. This can only be done once per scene.]

Just as he was hesitating, the game console offered him a rather humane condition.

It seems that this prompt will only be triggered when Li Xiuyi's cassette is inserted into the relic retrieval interface.

Jiang Fan stroked his chin. Actually, it wasn't bad. Exchanging 30 points for a fixed-point gacha pull wasn't a loss. He still had plenty of gacha pull resources, which was a good opportunity to develop main characters. Moreover, these ten pulls could also serve as a buffer for getting Rias's gold pity pull.

Ten [keys of history] were thrown into the deep vortex.

This time, the animation is no longer the roar of the dragon in Britain, nor the ethereal sacrificial song of Chu, but a clear, melodious crane cry with a kind of indescribable "sword intent".

Within the vortex, two yin-yang fish, one black and one white, spiraled upwards before transforming into ten streams of light that crashed down.

The light dissipated.

[Qi Cultivation into the Body] (White) x4, [Chu Shaman's Guide to Divine Angelica] (White) x4, [Fragment of the Great Master of Fate's Sacrificial Bronze Bell] (Green) x1, ————

Jiang Fan's gaze quickly swept over the first nine cards, heading straight for the guaranteed purple card that was supposed to appear in every ten draws.

"Fragment of the Sword Clan's Manual: The Sword Nurturing Technique (Incomplete)" (Rare Item/Skill Book)

"Rank: Once in a Millennium (Purple)"

"System Requirements: Only characters with the [Sword Cultivator] or [Hero] tiers or higher can use this game."

"Effect:

Sword Intent Cultivation: Passive Skill. The character can infuse their true essence into any ordinary iron weapon. Over time, the weapon will gradually shed its mortal form and transform into a "pseudo-natal flying sword".

Sword Qi Thunderous Sound (Fragment): Active Skill. Consumes a large amount of True Qi to instantly detonate the sword intent nurtured within the sword, unleashing a piercing sword qi imbued with a weak "thunderous power." Extremely destructive to evil spirits and array barriers.

"Comment: This is a fragment of the core cultivation technique of a once-declining sword sect. Although time has passed and the sword sect has turned to dust, the sword-nurturing techniques recorded in this fragment can still make any swordsman's sword emit a thunderous sound that can awe even ghosts and gods."

Although Li Xiuyi's current attack methods are sharp, he relies too much on the [Sleeve Serpent] and [Heart Sword].

This "Sword Nurturing Manual" perfectly compensates for Li Xiuyi's lack of conventional weapons and group attack methods.

With it, Li Xiuyi could easily buy several fine steel longswords and nurture them day and night with the Taiqingzhen technique.

When encountering enemies, there are no longer only single-target attacks, and there is no need to worry about the [Heart Sword] breaking. The sword energy and thunderous sound are enough to unleash a burst of power.

In reality, Li Xiuyi was watching the wisps of smoke rising from the shrine and listening intently. The mirror was still rippling, and the inner demons were still lingering in his heart.

Suddenly, a dusty whetstone and an ancient bamboo scroll appeared out of thin air on his desk.

"This is----"

Li Xiuyi's pupils contracted.

"A parting gift for you."

"The journey to Chu is fraught with peril. These two items will be enough to allow your sword to cut down any demons and monsters that stand in your way."

Li Xiu took a deep breath and, with trembling hands, picked up the rolled-up purple bamboo slip.

The moment they made contact, the Taiqing True Qi within his body surged as if boiling, and an incomparably sharp sword intent rushed straight into his mind.

Li Xiuyi sensed the unfathomable depth and expectations of the "Heart Demon Lord," which strengthened his understanding of the Great Dao.

Faith value +5, current faith value 82 points.

"Thank you, Lord Inner Demon, for bestowing this power!"
