Text-based martial arts: A nighttime rendezvous with the gang leader's wife in a dilapidated te

Looking at the blood-red text above and then at the automatically appearing camera, Chen Xuan struck a pose, then pursed his lips speechlessly. "I haven't even granted you camera access yet."

However, this is nothing serious. After all, his access privileges have already been almost completely leaked.

Besides, compared to other things, Chen Xuan was quite confident in his appearance.

And clearly, after appearance comes the real focus:

[3. How can a body of rotten wood learn martial arts? How can a body of flesh and blood carry the Dao? Innate talent, comprehension, strength, agility, and even the mysterious opportunities and fortune are all gifts from heaven and the foundation of cultivation.]

[Innate attribute points: 20]

Current attribute:

[Innate Constitution: 1] (The foundation of Qi and Blood, affecting the speed of martial arts training and the requirements for learning some martial arts techniques.)

[Comprehension: 1] (The root of intelligence, affecting the probability of martial arts breakthroughs, and a requirement for learning some martial arts.)

[Body Technique: 1] (Skill in maneuvering, affecting some of the mastery of light footwork, training speed, and efficiency of footwork; a requirement for learning some martial arts.)

【Strength: 1】(The power of one's inner energy affects the direct power of most martial arts, load-bearing capacity, stamina, and the learning requirements of some martial arts.)

【Fortune: 1】(A measure of luck that influences the triggering of some serendipitous encounters, the discovery of treasures, and certain story branches.)

Looking at the attribute points, Chen Xuan thought for a moment, then focused on his innate talent, comprehension, and fortune.

Based on his experience, in this type of martial arts game, combat attributes such as agility and strength can be improved by learning and practicing some martial arts, but attributes such as aptitude, comprehension, and fortune, especially the latter two, determine the upper limit.

Although Chen Xuan hadn't considered what kind of balance this mini-game could achieve, he still said the same thing.

Take every game seriously!

So he quickly made the allocations:

Fortune: 6, Comprehension: 6, Physical Constitution: 6. As for agility and strength, the former is 4 and the latter is 3.

4. The road of martial arts is long and arduous; what can guide you? The path of martial arts is far-reaching; what should you hold dear? What you pursue, what you hold dear, is your 'Way'.

[Seeking an answer. You enter the martial world not for fame or fortune, but solely to pursue an answer. Perhaps it's the mystery of a loved one's death, or the cause of your sect's destruction. This heart will not extinguish, this path will not end. Initial title: 'The Obsessed'.]

[Prove your own path. What is martial arts? What is chivalry? You wish to forge your own path. Perhaps challenge the world's masters, perhaps create an unparalleled martial art. You want the martial world to forever etch your name. Initial title: 'Seeker of the Dao'.]

[Protecting the peace of this region. The world of martial arts is treacherous; you've witnessed too much innocent suffering. You seek neither fame nor fortune, only to use your sword to protect those around you and safeguard the peace you cherish. You have obtained the initial title 'Guardian'.]

Seeking a life of carefree wandering. Fame and fortune are like fleeting clouds to you, and grudges are but a cup of wine. You traverse verdant mountains, lie drunk among flowers; this martial world, in your eyes, is nothing more than a playful game. You obtain the initial title 'The Carefree One'.

[Rule the world. In a single night, the land changes, heaven and earth are turned upside down, and all are consumed by folly. You must awaken to seize power; this martial world, this mortal realm, are merely pawns in the game of achieving your ambitions. You receive the initial title 'The Ambitious One'.]

"Um?"

Chen Xuan frowned slightly as he looked at the options presented this time; he was somewhat puzzled by the choice.

Clearly, these so-called initial titles must have some effect, but this time, the effect was not disclosed.

Chen Xuan also looked into it more closely. If he were to follow the normal deduction, without a doubt, he should choose the first one, "The Persistent One".

This is probably related to his initial choice of "mysterious background".

However, this was just speculation. Chen Xuan looked at these four questions, the so-called questions about one's original intentions, and he really fell into thought.

If he were to actually enter a real martial arts world, what would his original intention be?

After thinking for a moment, Chen Xuan placed his finger on the second item.

If possible, he still wants to pursue that so-called higher martial arts. Everything else has its appeal, but it's not that great.

Because its extraordinary appeal is unique.

After all, women and power are things that exist in reality.

However, after making his choice, Chen Xuan paused for a moment, then chuckled to himself.

I must say, this little game is really immersive.

Fortunately, the brand-new blood-red text prompt brought Chen Xuan back to his senses:

5. Everyone has extraordinary abilities. Your innate talents and destiny may lie hidden deep within your bloodline.

[Six innate destinies will be randomly selected from all available talents; choose one from each, based on their level: Saint (Gold), Heaven (Red), Earth (Purple), Mystic (Blue), Yellow (Green), Mortal (White)]

(The highest level of innate talent can be obtained is Earth-level. Later, the talent level can be improved through serendipitous encounters and special opportunities, and other talents can even be acquired or synthesized.)

[Destiny selection complete...]

【Sword Qi Penetrating the Profound (Earth): You are naturally close to the sword. Your swordsmanship training speed increases by 25%, and your swordsmanship power increases by 50%. You can vaguely sense the location of famous swords.】

[Son of the Hunter (Fan): You are a born hunter. You are extremely skilled in the common ability 'Trap,' and your movement speed in the mountains and forests is increased by 5%.]

[Born Actor (Yellow): Can easily imitate others' speech, actions, and handwriting. Disguise success rate +25%, making it easier to gain trust during street-smart negotiations and transactions.]

[Clear Mind and Bright Eyes (Mystic): Reduces reading and learning time by half, lowers learning requirements by 10%, and increases the probability of breaking through martial arts bottlenecks by 5%.]

[Good Fortune (Yellow): The market-level ability 'Buying and Selling' is directly upgraded to the advanced ability 'Business Management,' and there is a 0.5% chance of finding silver while taking action.]

[A mere mortal: You are no different, but your destiny will randomly change to any level after each major advancement in your martial arts realm.]

Looking at these six distinct so-called innate destinies, Chen Xuan almost didn't hesitate to choose the first one, Sword Qi Profound.

There are reasons why a product is of a high grade.

This talent is clearly not in the same style as the others.

The rest, especially the last one, seem promising with great potential and a high ceiling of talent. However, Chen Xuan is not a gambler.

If this thing manages to gamble out a top-tier Saint-level or Heaven-level item, that's fine. But if it keeps floundering in these low-level areas, it's not a complete blank anymore.

Moreover, the system text also explains that in the future, one can obtain destiny talents through serendipitous encounters and improve the grade of those talents.

However, just as Chen Xuan was about to decide to choose the Sword Qi Profound, he suddenly remembered something and looked at an inconspicuous button to the side.

Does he still remember that when he directly agreed to join the game, it seemed that there was an extra chance to draw from this destiny talent?

In any case, you should first look at what your so-called unique destiny is before making a decision, right?

And indeed, that proved to be true.

[You have resolutely chosen to directly enter the path of martial arts. You have one chance to generate a unique destiny based on yourself during the destiny selection process. Generate now?]

【Yes! 】

Instantly, a flash of light appeared in the dark interface. Chen Xuan, looking at the scene, suddenly felt as if he had been electrocuted. When he came to his senses, the tablet had returned to normal, and beneath the six talent destinies, a brand new, previously unseen special talent destiny had appeared:

【Defying Fate (Exclusive): You can modify your five-dimensional attribute distribution at any time during the game. At the same time, you can see all the possible adventures and trigger conditions in each scene and character.

Correspondingly, your five-dimensional attributes will be initialized to 0.
