After being teased by the NPC, Lufeng felt speechless and quickly distanced himself from the Perverted King Jixin.
This time, Lufeng was truly at a loss. In order to take on a mission, he even resorted to Feigning Injury; he was just short of using the beauty trap. However, Lufeng wasn't that perverted. Although the basic national policy had popularized such compulsory education, he looked down on such morally corrupt matters.
Just as he left, someone with the ID Gao Ji Wang Weisuo Nan approached Wang Jixin.
Qin Shou exclaimed in shock, "Damn, there's no limit to how sleazy it can get! Second Brother, your Yang Dingtian ID is weak compared to his; Pervert is awesome! Believe it or not, I do!"
Gao Chao retorted, "Believe you? We, who are caught between the post-80s and post-90s generations, are all conflicted!"
Lufeng smiled and brushed it off. There were all kinds of oddballs; he was used to it. Everyone was trying to be non-mainstream, fearing that others wouldn't recognize them. Lufeng envied these purely entertaining players a bit, but that was a lost youth for him. At that moment, he deeply understood the difference between a Professional Player and an entertainment player.
Lufeng had no interest in Gao Chao and Qin Shou's nonsense. The most important thing now was to level up. He urged, "Let's go quickly; there are oddballs every year, it's nothing new. Let's aim to get the Hidden Weapon today and push for the world ranking at level 30. As for level 40, forget it; Xiaojing and I still need to comprehend Gathering Energy and Gathering Qi before reaching level 40."
"Of course, if any of you make it to the world ranking at level 40, I won't stop you!" Lufeng added.
Gao Chao wiped away a virtual sweat and said, "Forget it; Professional Players are different. Leveling up feels like being reborn; no wonder so many people look so anxious."
Wang Xiaojing shot him a glare and said bluntly, "You won't be misborn; hurry up! If you don't work hard before level 90, you'll regret it during the quarterly assessment. You'll have your chance with the girls later; stop daydreaming about me!"
Gao Chao grinned lewdly and said, "Hehe~ No daydreaming!"
A group of six people stopped talking and quickly headed towards the nearest Jiuzhou Chamber of Commerce representative, Wang Zao.
Afterward, they were teleported to Dali through Wang Zao, where they found Liu Zhongfu. Like Wang Jixin, he was an old man with white hair. Lufeng wasted no time and directly stated their purpose.
Liu Zhongfu stroked his white beard and slowly said, "There is still some time before the Chess Game begins. Now let me tell you some intricacies of the Chess Game: during the Chess Game Activity, pieces will continuously refresh. If a piece is not killed within a certain time frame, it will automatically transform into a Chess Soul, which has higher attack power. After killing all the pieces and Chess Souls, an Ancient Chess Soul will appear, and defeating it will grant you additional rewards!"
"Will a Chess Soul definitely appear?" Lufeng quickly asked.
Liu Zhongfu shook his head: "Not necessarily. A piece will only transform into a Chess Soul if it survives for one minute from the moment it refreshes. A total of 200 pieces will refresh during the Chess Game, and the refresh rate will increase over time. The attack power of a Chess Soul is relatively strong but gives less Experience; pieces have stronger defense but provide more Experience. How you choose is up to you."
After hearing Liu Zhongfu's explanation of the so-called Zhenlong Chess Game, Lufeng felt it was quite similar to Heavenly Dragon and continued to ask, "What about the Vital Energy Control Technique?"
Liu Zhongfu shook his head again: "I cannot say for certain about that. This is all I can tell you. Wang Jixin just asked me to take special 'care' of you. I believe you must have a significant connection with him; otherwise, he wouldn't have entrusted me with this. I will introduce you to a master in Suzhou named Zhang Yiguo. His chess skills are on par with Wang Jixin and me. You should be able to learn more from him, and perhaps he knows about the Vital Energy Control Technique. Go quickly!"
Lufeng wiped away a bead of sweat; fortunately, Liu Zhongfu misunderstood Wang Jixin's special 'care,' or else he wouldn't be able to continue with the mission.
The group of six quickly left and teleported to Suzhou City via Dali Station. They then found Zhang Yiguo next to the Top Scholar Arena in the center of Suzhou City.
Zhang Yiguo was one of the envoys for the Chess Game Activity and was known alongside Wang Jixin and Liu Zhongfu as one of the three great Chess Sages.
Checking the time, there were only about ten minutes left until the Chess Game began. Lufeng hurriedly shared what he had learned from Wang Jixin and Liu Zhongfu with Zhang Yiguo.
After understanding Lufeng's intentions, Zhang Yiguo calmly said, "You have already learned quite a bit from those two old men. The Vital Energy Control Technique requires your own comprehension; no one has walked this path before. As a Free Mode player, if you are the team leader, the Dungeon you enter in the Chess Game Activity will be another world."
"What world?" Lufeng felt a sense of unease rising in his heart, yet he also believed that fortune and misfortune were intertwined, filled with both anticipation and hesitation.
Zhang Yiguo smiled calmly and teased, "Once the Chess Game begins, you'll know by participating. But I must tell you, each piece is a great object for cultivation; I hope you can cherish this process. As the number of pieces increases, the refresh rate will become faster and faster. So use all the skills you can; it's time to test your abilities as a cultivator!"
Although Lufeng still couldn't grasp the true essence of the Zhenlong Chess Game, he could guess from Zhang Yiguo's words that the Free Mode players' experience in the Zhenlong Chess Game would definitely be different from that of Heavenly Dragon.
Seeing Lufeng hesitating and remaining silent for a long time, Zhang Yiguo continued to remind him, "You don't need to worry so much. When the Ancient Chess Soul appears, don't panic. Just pay attention to your health points; there shouldn't be any problems. But be careful of the Ancient Chess Soul's skills."
"Uh..." Once again misunderstood by the NPC, Lufeng paused and cupped his hands in thanks, saying, "Thank you for the reminder!"
Zhang Yiguo stroked his beard and smiled, "Hehe~ No need to be polite. After defeating the Ancient Chess Soul, there will be various special item rewards. As for what they are, you'll find out once you try it yourself. However... it also depends on your luck!"
Lufeng smiled slightly, "Hehe~ Understood!"
Just then, another NPC whispered a few words beside Zhang Yiguo. Zhang Yiguo kept his gaze fixed on Lufeng and silently nodded.
Feeling Zhang Yiguo's intense stare, Lufeng shivered involuntarily and couldn't help but think, this old man doesn't have any special 'preferences,' does he? There's no need to look at me like that!
Seeing Lufeng so nervous, Zhang Yiguo shook his head and continued, "You don't understand! The Zhenlong Chess Game is actually an illusion that reflects the hearts and souls of those who enter. As they say, demons arise from the heart, and so do Buddhas. Martial artists train their fists and kicks to strengthen their bodies. These are merely minor paths."
Lufeng was astonished: "Then what constitutes the major path?"
"A true strong person must have a robust heart and soul. Therefore, cultivating one's heart is indeed a significant method for cultivators. In the Chess Game, if you can calm your heart, you'll comprehend your Vital Energy Control Technique; this is the true essence of the Zhenlong Chess Game."
Zhang Yiguo inadvertently revealed the truth and had no choice but to continue, "I didn't want to tell you the truth so early. Just now, those two old men asked me to take special care of you. You must have a close relationship with them, which is why I am sharing this secret with you. You must not let those two old men down."
"I definitely won't. Thank you for your guidance, Chess Sage!" Lufeng was overjoyed, not expecting Wang Jixin to be so petty, leading to two special 'care' requests that were misunderstood.
"Mm!" Zhang Yiguo nodded and continued, "Entering the Zhenlong Chess Game is actually about battling the karmic obstacles within oneself. Between life and death, one's martial arts skills can also advance significantly in an imperceptible way. If you can kill the Ancient Chess Soul in the Chess Game, you can obtain many valuable items."
Having achieved what he wanted, Lufeng did not wish to waste any more time and clasped his hands, saying, "The Chess Game is about to begin; I will take my leave!"
"Hehe~"
Seeing Lufeng's eagerness, Zhang Yiguo smiled, "It is indeed time for you to experience this challenge. However, you should first go to Luoyang and find Bu Huanqi. Help me deliver this 'Chess Soul Essence' to her; she will reward you with a Heavenly Spirit Pill!"
Heavenly Spirit Pill! Lufeng was thrilled; this was a great item that doubled Experience.
"Yes!" Lufeng resolutely accepted this task—[Black and White].
Mission Objective: Find Bu Huanqi in Luoyang and deliver the 'Chess Soul Essence' to her.
Reward: Heavenly Spirit Pill, 10 silver coins.
