In the world of demons and warriors, I slay demons through wordplay.

[Hint: The "Strong Luck" talent has been triggered!]

"Oh! So there's a chance to win right away this time?"

Li Qingchen's eyes lit up; it had been a long time since he had such a successful start.

You're wandering through the TuTu Mountains when you come across a miser struggling to survive near a deep crevice. Will you lend him a hand?

"Usually, after recruiting someone, you'll be thanked and receive something in return."

"But these misers..."

[The kind-hearted swordsman, you choose to lend him a hand.]

However, your kindness also has its sharp edges; you are always on guard against the greedy, lest you be ambushed.

Your caution paid off; sure enough, you were attacked the moment you pulled the miser up.

[Your reaction was incredibly fast; you unleashed the Wild Horse Galloping Fist, smashing through your opponent's chest.]

[Hint: You have killed the miser!]

[The "Plunder" talent has been triggered, increasing your fist skills!]

Do you wish to loot the corpse?

[You chose to loot the corpse, and you found a golden grappling hook!]

[Golden Claw Hook: A superior item, of excellent quality, blessed by the mountain god of TuTu Mountain. It is incredibly hard and will not be easily damaged. It can be used repeatedly without worrying about wear and tear.]

"Great stuff! With this, I can keep searching for treasures!" Li Qingchen exclaimed happily.

Eager to try, you take the golden grappling hook and approach the abyss rift, then throw it out...

[Swordsman, you're in luck; you've retrieved an unidentified corpse.]

Since this is an unclaimed corpse, all its money and valuables belong to you.

[Hint: You have obtained the martial arts manual: "Shadowless Kick"!]

[Shadowless Kick: A rare and powerful leg technique in the martial arts world, a superior skill that combines internal and external cultivation.]

……

[Hint: You have obtained the Mountain God's Jade Pendant!]

[Mountain God Jade Pendant: A token of the Mountain God of TuTu Mountain. Wearing it can ward off evil spirits in the mountain, increase the speed of spiritual energy absorption, and reduce the disturbances of miserly creatures.]

"This is the complete jade pendant from before; I never imagined it would have this function."

Li Qingchen thought to himself.

Having tasted success, you threw the rope again.

[Swordsman, your good luck continues; you've retrieved another nameless body, and it's alive.]

The survivor's relatives found you, paid you a reward, and took the survivor away.

[Hint: You have received 5000 ghost coins!]

[The Mountain God's Shop is starting to update...]

At the TuTu Mountain shop, 5000 ghost coins equal one resurrection. You can use ghost coins to purchase goods.

[Swordsman, you've thrown the rope again.]

You've pulled up another unidentified body...

Your string of good fortune has aroused the hostility of other miners, who seem to be plotting something.

What are you going to do?

1. Ignore them and continue being a gold miner rescuing people.

2. Even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake; leave first and avoid the limelight.

Should I avoid his sharp edge?

Li Qingchen chose to ignore them.

Your arrogant attitude successfully intimidated the troublemaking miners; they seemed somewhat afraid of you and hesitated to approach.

"The rabble here are much easier to deal with than the believers in Blood Town," Li Qingchen thought to himself.

The reason for this is that the mountain god did not stand on the opposite side.

You continue swinging the grappling hook, and you get a broken bottle.

Who's littering in the mountains? Damn it.

You've received an arm.

You have obtained a piece of jade.

【you……】

Li Qingchen took stock of his miscellaneous gains.

None of them are of great value.

Even the game's text has shifted its tone...

You're gradually losing patience...

The game offers options: continue opening blind boxes or go explore other places.

You choose to wander around other places and come to a remote spot where you see an injured woman. Should you help her?

"Again?"

You chose to treat the woman; you took out your thousand-thread needle and stitched up her wound.

[You hear a commotion in the distance, and upon closer inspection, you discover a group of menacing miners heading in your direction.]

A woman is pleading for your help, swordsman, what will you choose...?

To save or not to save, that is the question.

After a moment's thought, Li Qingchen chose to save him.

[You take out a fox pelt, use your skin-changing magic to cover the woman's body.]

The angry miners are asking you if you've seen a woman.

You: I saw her; she ran west.

The miners ran westward.

"He didn't even say thank you. He's really a terrible person."

Once the miners have gone some distance, ask the woman the reason.

The woman confesses that her brother was originally a painter, but one day he was suddenly kidnapped by a monster named TuTu and taken to TuTu Mountain, where he disappeared.

She came here in search of her brother, but for some reason angered the miners.

The miners were about to throw her into a deep crevice, but in desperation, she had no choice but to escape.

【Swordsman, what are you going to do now?】

1. Help the woman find her missing brother.

2. Advise her to go home immediately and never come to TuTu Mountain again.

"Persuading her to go home is definitely not an option."

"She's gone home, where am I supposed to do my missions?"

You tell the woman you will help find her missing brother, and she is extremely grateful.

"No reward? Tsk, maybe we'll have to wait until the very end."

Li Qingchen briefly sorted out the existing information.

First, there is a monster named TuTu in TuTu Mountain that likes to abduct people to the mountain and throw them into the abyss rift.

Secondly, the mining teams here can use grappling hooks to retrieve people; if no one claims the body, the money on it will belong to the miners.

But if someone asks for it, the miner cannot keep it all for himself.

This unknown woman must have asked the miners to rescue the person, but the miners not only refused but also chased after her. There must be something very strange about this.

[It's too dangerous here. Let the woman leave first. Before she leaves, she tells you her name is Aqing, she lives in Moon Bay, and she works there. You can go there to find her later.]

You begin investigating Ah Qing's brother's matter.

You found the old miner and asked for his help. He agreed and used his connections to try and find out about Ah Qing's brother.

[Investigating...]

[Investigating...]

[Investigating...]

[While you're at it, you arrive at a deep abyss crevice, ready to try your luck.]

[You throw out the rope, your grappling hook sinks, seemingly having retrieved something. Do you want to pull the rope up?]

"Is it a trap? Or an opportunity?"

After thinking it over, Li Qingchen decided to take a gamble.

You chose to pull the heavy rope.

You saw two eerie green eyes.

You met TuTu.

[Your vision is filled with crimson.]

Swordsman, you are dead!
