Unreliable Sword Immortal.

Chapter 122 A Reliable Stage, If You're Reliable, Then Come!

Zhang Defa was thrilled.

He experienced the joy of being a "master".

The next moment, Song Shu was resurrected, and he stood blankly on the sword-fighting platform.

Zhang Defa shouted, "Hey, you little brat, now you know how powerful I am, don't you?"

Song Shudao exclaimed, "Damn it! I challenged you to a sword duel, and you're piloting a mecha!"

"Losing is losing, why bother with all this nonsense?" Zhang Defa, controlling his mecha, started breakdancing on the dueling platform, even doing the moonwalk. He felt he had found his purpose in life. He turned on the mecha's headlights and flashlights, and suddenly sang loudly: "Sen Lei Defa, I've got Lei Hui Ga, at the Sen Ye Bar, let's see who's who, please feel free to dance, I hope you can beat him..."

The energetic melody immediately elicited a chorus of "Holy crap!" echoes.

"Holy crap!"

"The streamer has this skill too!"

"The Tree-Planting Elder has unlocked a new skill!"

"Holy crap, he's treating the dueling arena like a stage!"

"What is this? Is it a Cyberdisc?"

"I'm numb, I'm numb!"

"Turns out, my Defa is a singing and dancing streamer!"

"To be honest, this mecha dance is better than a real person's. The streamer's got some skills!"

"That's amazing! That's truly amazing! Top streamers always have something special!"

"I can't take it anymore! This addictive melody, this flamboyant mecha street dance, I'm about to be swept away into punk hell!"

"Awesome! I'm bowing down in admiration!"

"Holy crap, I'm the bassist, I'm coming to join you!"

"Where can I buy this outfit, streamer?"

"The streamer's singing is pretty good, and his dancing is also quite good. I'm really curious what he does in real life!"

"At the end of silliness, who reigns supreme? One glimpse of this streamer and you're doomed!"

"I've given a tip! I'll request a song with the coolest mecha theme. Can the streamer sing it...?"

Not only were the live stream comments going off like crazy, but some people in the audience were even singing and dancing along with Zhang Defa: "Sen Lei Defa, Ou Xiang You Dai Lei Hui Ga..."

Even more outrageous, someone actually climbed onto the dueling platform, took out a suona (a traditional Chinese wind instrument), and roared, "I am the Sword God Jin Wubing, and I have made this suona to provide background music for Elder Planting Trees!"

After saying that, he started playing the suona, and his skill was surprisingly high, perfectly matching Zhang Defa's singing and dancing.

"Holy crap! What kind of monsters and demons are these?!"

Song Shu was stunned, and then wanted to pack up the tent, grab the bucket, and run away.

Zhang Defa saw him, maneuvered his mecha to his side, and roared, "Hey, from now on you'll have to call me godfather!"

Song Shudao: "Impossible!"

"A bet's a bet, you can't back out now!"

"Yes, I'll go back on my word, what can you do about it?" Song Shu wouldn't admit it. He quickly jumped off the dueling platform and disappeared in a flash.

"Trash!"

Zhang Defa cursed, then threw himself back into singing and dancing, even saying to the live stream camera, "Guys, let's get this party started..."

The next day, a large number of discussion posts about singing and dancing mechs appeared on the Tianxing Forum. Zhang Defa's mech singing and dancing video was posted everywhere. There were also many posts such as "Reliable band is recruiting", "Reliable stage, come if you're reliable", "Singing and dancing elder mech tutorial" and so on, either riding the wave or making fun of it.

Countless regular players were stunned by Zhang Defa's five-star mech [Great Shock] and were extremely eager to know what this mech was all about, whether it was a real mech or a special costume, and where they could get it.

Zhang Defa did not reveal the attribute information of the [Great Shock] and [Collapse Star] heavy cannons. He also intentionally maintained a sense of mystery. He sang and danced on the dueling stage until late at night, feeling that he was born to pilot mechs.

The next day, Zhang Defa was already waiting in the mission hall. When he saw Lu Chaoding, he immediately bowed with a fawning expression and presented him with a bunch of grapes.

"Brother Ding, these are crystal grapes I won in a lottery. I usually can't bear to eat them, so I'm giving them to you as a token of my appreciation!"

"No, I have no appetite right now, I can't eat anything!"

Lu Chaoding waved his hand dismissively. Zhang Defa sang and danced on the dueling platform until the wee hours of the morning, while Lu Chaoding spent the entire night in the material dungeon taking potions, consuming tens of thousands of [Great Yuan Pills] until his tongue went numb.

【Da Yuan Dan】This kind of pill has a taste, and it's actually quite delicious. It tastes like glutinous rice balls and won't make you feel full. But after eating tens of thousands of them in one night, Lu Chaoding is now nauseous at the sight of anything and has no appetite for grapes.

As for his level, it has now reached level 30!

It wasn't that he lacked the cultivation level to continue leveling up, but rather that he was restricted by the system and couldn't advance any further.

He was currently looking at the system notification: "Ding, congratulations on your level increasing to LV30, HP +580, Attack Power +58."

"Ding! You have reached the limit of mortals. Proceed to the Heavenly Path Tower in Heavenly Fortune State to undergo the Heavenly Path Trial and break through to the Excellent realm, thus unlocking the level cap!"

"Seriously? There are realm settings? Mortal, Extraordinary, what other realms are there? Where is Tianyun Prefecture, and how do I get there?"

Lu Chao frowned. He had realized that, according to the original main storyline, reaching level 30 would unlock the world map. Once the world map was unlocked, he would roughly know where Tianyun Prefecture was, and then he could go there to break through his cultivation level. Perhaps going to Tianyun Prefecture to complete the Tianxing Trial was the next stage of the main quest.

However, the unreliable system has altered my main questline, and I can only unlock the world map at level 60.

"Perhaps I should find a level 30 companion to guide me to Tianyun Prefecture!"

Lu Chaoding pondered silently.

At this moment, Zhang Defa pushed his crystal grapes in front of Lu Chaoding and said, "Brother Ding, don't be shy, eat up, they're delicious!"

"Unsolicited kindness is always suspicious!" Lu Chao looked at Zhang Defa and said, "What is it? Speak!"

"Brother Ding!" Zhang Defa said with a fawning smile, "Um, I wanted to ask if you still have any [Mech Cannon King Job Change Certificates]? I have a little brother who also wants to become a Mech Cannon King."

"there is none left."

Lu Chaoding shook his head. Items such as the [Mech Cannon King's Job Change Certificate], the mech [Great Shock], and the heavy cannon [Star Collapse] could probably be obtained in multiples through the quest hall. However, these items were of no use to improving Lu Chaoding's own strength, so he didn't care much and simply gave them to Zhang Defa.

"That's all?" Zhang Defa scratched his head. "Then where did you get this job change certificate, Brother Ding? Is it possible to get one?"

Lu Chao thought for a moment and said, "Go form a strong team and farm the unreliable training room. If you encounter the Evil God Tank and take it down, you'll have a chance to get the [Mech Cannon King Job Change Certificate]. As the saying goes, 'self-reliance brings abundance,' you all need to learn to be self-reliant. Although I am the sect leader, I cannot deprive you of the fun of the game, understand?"

"Want to team up to fight the evil god tank?" Zhang Defa was overjoyed. "Baldy!"

"However, I should warn you beforehand that the Evil God Tank is very strong; underestimating it will lead to disaster. I think it's more reliable to stick to being a Sword Immortal, Sword God, Sword Saint, or Sword Demon..."

Lu Chaoding pondered that [Mech Cannon King] might also have a similar "realm" restriction setting. Once Zhang Defa reaches level 30, where should he go to break through his realm? Going to the Tianxing Tower in Tianyun Prefecture probably won't work. He might have to go to the Mech Emperor Universe. If that's the case, then it's a bit of a trap.

Zhang Defa, unaware of Lu Chaoding's thoughts, beamed with joy and said, "Okay, Brother Ding, I'll definitely assemble a strong team. I heard that Wang Chengang and Dugu Tian among the introductory disciples are quite strong. I'll go find them later..."

At this point, Zhang Defa immediately thought of the fact that he still had to cooperate with Lu Chao to complete the mission, and his face became dejected.

Lu Chaoding saw his expression and said, "The way of both literature and martial arts is a balance of tension and relaxation. I'll give you half a day off. Go have some fun, and come back this afternoon!"

"That's great, Baldy! I'm going to have some fun!"

Zhang Defa was overjoyed, bowed to Lu Chaoding, and left.

Lu Chaoding then opened the trading board panel.

"Let's see what good stuff we can find, do some shopping, then do some more quests this afternoon. We should leave the island tomorrow and head to Tianyun Prefecture to level up so we can continue to grow stronger!"

Lu Chaoding silently made plans.

He felt that his current equipment and skills were basically up to par, and all he lacked was refinement and upgrading. Farming local deities to upgrade his cave didn't seem to make much sense, so it would be more reliable to remove the level restriction and complete the main quest first.
