[Want to know about the mute package?]

"I'm full!" In the Bamboo Forest, Mao Nanbei patted her round little tummy and put down her chopsticks.

To be precise, it wasn't that she was full, but that she had finished eating.

Not only had she and Mao Nanbei finished eating, but even the bowls that had floated down from the stone were empty.

It was clear that both Second Senior Sister and Fourth Senior Sister had given their Little Martial Brother's cooking a thumbs up with their actions.

"Hic—!" Mao Nanbei was the first to hiccup.

She quickly covered her mouth with her little hand, a look of panic on her face, pretending to be innocent, as if to say, "You heard wrong, it wasn't me."

Then, she hiccuped again.

The sound escaped from between her fingers, clearly audible.

Obviously, no matter how high her cultivation, this kind of natural bodily reaction was always impossible to hold back.

Therefore, the Cold Daoist Nun on the stone, after enduring it for a while, actually hiccuped as well.

Although the sound was very soft, both Lu Xun and Mao Nanbei heard it.

This annoyed her a bit, so she waved her hand and started shooing them away.

Lu Xun and Mao Nanbei quickly ran away. Before leaving the Bamboo Forest, he couldn't help but take another look at Second Senior Sister's back.

"Second Senior Sister is really thin," he thought to himself.

The wide Daoist Robe draped over her body, further highlighting her slenderness.

It felt like she was a bit too thin.

A very strange thought popped into Lu Xun's mind:

—"Should I try to fatten her up?"

It seemed like it would be interesting.

Lu Xun didn't have an answer yet as to whether he could successfully fatten up Second Senior Sister. Everyone's physique was different, and the physiques of cultivators were even more different.

But he would definitely cook three meals a day. His cultivation was still low, and he couldn't yet subsist on spiritual energy alone. Moreover, in his previous life, he was practically a gourmet, unable to quit his cravings, and unwilling to quit them either.

His tongue was picky!

As an excellent cook, he added fattening up Second Senior Sister to his plans, just to find some fun in the boring days.

Speaking of which, both Mao Nanbei and Second Senior Sister could tell at a glance that Lu Xun had advanced to the first level of the Qi Devouring Art, but they weren't surprised at all.

Perhaps in their eyes, as a member of the Small Study, no matter how special Lu Xun was, it was only natural.

Not to mention that he had only advanced to the first level of the Qi Devouring Art overnight, even if he advanced several more levels, no one would find it strange.

Compared to these things, they valued Lu Xun's perseverance during cultivation even more, which moved them even more.

After returning to the Small Study, Mao Nanbei lazily lay down at the entrance to bask in the sun again.

The little kitten, full and satisfied, began to laze around again.

Lu Xun sat beside her and asked, "Fourth Senior Sister, when will Teacher return?"

This was something Lu Xun was very concerned about.

"How would I know?" Mao Nanbei said matter-of-factly.

"Isn't there a rough estimate?" Lu Xun was speechless.

"Of course not. Sometimes it might be a few days, sometimes it might be a few months, and sometimes a few years is also possible," Mao Nanbei waved her hand and said.

Lu Xun was puzzled and continued to ask, "Then what did Teacher go down the mountain for?"

As one of the most mysterious figures in the entire Tian Chen, Lu Xun was full of curiosity about him.

"To play!" Mao Nanbei replied instantly, without even thinking.

Lu Xun: "..."

Are you sure there isn't a more high-sounding reason?

Or is it because she has the heart of a child, so going down the mountain naturally makes her think of playing?

Yes, that must be it.

How could an otherworldly expert go down the mountain to play.

Since he couldn't get anything out of her after chatting for so long, Lu Xun went back to his room.

He didn't plan to continue cultivating, but instead began to study his panel information.

Currently, his experience bar shows 586/500, which is enough for him to level up again.

But he doesn't plan to do so for the time being.

In the past, he just treated it as a game, leveling up as soon as he could. But now he's alive and well, so he should at least adapt first, right?

How should he put it? He just wants to study his current body and cultivation strength, feeling that it's very interesting.

After studying it thoroughly, he will continue to level up.

The panel information is just as it is for now, and he can't see anything special. What he's paying more attention to now is a countdown in the lower right corner.

In his memory, Tian Chen began to promote itself heavily before the game was launched, and the game forum was opened to the public even before the internal beta test.

Lu Xun had long forgotten the specific date when the game forum was opened. How could he specifically remember the date of such a thing?

However, the countdown in the lower right corner is reminding him that the game forum is about to be opened to the public. This countdown is the time when the forum will be opened.

"That's strange, there are still three years before the players descend, is the forum opening so early?"

"Could it be... that the time flow between the two worlds is completely different?"

He can't study these questions for the time being. He's just waiting silently now, because he's very curious, can he see the information on the forum?

Logically speaking, the panel information and other functions have become transmigrator benefits. Apart from his identity becoming an NPC, other functions seem to be no different from players.

Then, he should also be able to see the forum.

If the players really descend in Tian Chen Calendar 4000, then the forum will be of great help to Lu Xun.

After the countdown ended, he saw the pop-up message:

[Game Forum has been opened.]

He clicked on it, and it was empty.

After two or three seconds, he refreshed it, and messy posts poured in like a tide!

Most of them were meaningless filler posts, and he was too lazy to read them carefully.

Lu Xun tried to post, but found that he couldn't.

"Damn it, what should I do!" Lu Xun was anxious.

Players love to flame NPCs, and he might be flamed by players in the future.

Doesn't this mean that he can't even pretend to be a passerby and sarcastically flame back!?

"Damn it, it actually deprived me of the right to fight to the end with the keyboard warriors!"

Annoyed, Lu Xun directly closed the forum and stopped looking at it.

He's like being muted by a dog administrator in a QQ group, and the more he looks at it, the more uncomfortable he will feel.

At this moment, he is thinking about his future development path.

He definitely has to make use of the players. What's the point of being an NPC if he doesn't make use of the players?

In the eyes of the players, NPCs are just a bunch of tools.

But in Lu Xun's eyes, aren't the players also tools?

Perhaps establishing himself in this world, the players will be his greatest help!

"Then, before the official launch of Tian Chen, shouldn't I also make a name for myself?"

If he were just an insignificant NPC, players wouldn't follow him.

With this thought, he refocused his attention on the [Prestige Value Task]. It seemed he needed to complete this task as soon as possible. It would not only build his reputation but also grant him considerable experience points, killing two birds with one stone.

He was a person who planned and organized his actions, and he had many ideas. Most of the old schemers in games were like this, with very dirty minds.

He quickly came up with some rough plans. Wasn't there going to be a grand ceremony held specifically for him tomorrow? That would be a perfect opportunity to try things out.
