[Silly Players Are About to Descend]

As the morning sun rose, Lu Xun pushed open his door, looking utterly exhausted.

He felt like he was about to dry up.

This time, the feeling of fatigue was even more intense than the last, because he had just experienced a trial, and the mental energy he had expended had not fully recovered before he was hit with another wave of Second Senior Sister's torrential love.

Nineteen times in one night, and you'd be drained too.

Mao Nanbei was sleeping in again today, so Lu Xun casually plopped down on her special rattan chair, sprawled out like Ge You.

After lounging for a good while, Lu Xun slowly took out two dates from his Storage Ring and ate them. Looking at them, four words popped into his head: "Eat Dates, Take Medicine Pill."

After eating the dates, a cool sensation swept through his body, the discomfort lessened slightly, and his hollowed-out body recovered a bit of energy, assuring him that he probably wouldn't die of overexertion.

Heaving a long sigh, Lu Xun looked at the blue sky and white clouds, began to space out, and then smiled.

"No matter what, I have indeed improved," Lu Xun thought to himself.

Perhaps it was because he had obtained [Sword Dao Aptitude +1], or perhaps it was because he had leveled up twice, but in any case, from being "killed" 36 times in one night at the beginning, to now 19 times, he was clearly becoming more durable.

"Good, good," Lu Xun consoled himself, thinking that maybe he would get used to dying soon.

He lounged on the rattan chair for about half an hour before Mao Nanbei darted out of the window.

The little loli didn't like to use the main door; little cats just liked to dart around.

Lu Xun had seen some videos before, where cats especially liked to squeeze into narrow places, and they always managed to squeeze through, as if their bodies were made of water.

Mao Nanbei didn't seem to have this kind of pihao (penchant); she just simply liked to jump around.

In the past, Lu Xun would have gotten up and given Mao Nanbei her special large rattan chair, since it was originally hers.

But today he was too tired, too tired to move. So he just shifted his butt a little, freeing up half of the large rattan chair's seat.

Mao Nanbei originally wanted to chase him away, but after seeing his haggard appearance, she "qie" and actually sat down next to Lu Xun.

She swung her little feet in the air and said, "Little Martial Brother, have you comprehended Sword Heart?"

Yesterday's commotion was so big that Mao Nanbei had no reason not to know.

"Yeah," Lu Xun nodded while lounging, looking like a puddle of moving mud.

"What does it feel like to comprehend Sword Heart?" Mao Nanbei asked curiously.

She practiced the blade, so she was a little curious.

Lu Xun thought to himself, "How am I supposed to describe this?"

After all, his Sword Heart wasn't really comprehended; he had freeloaded it.

So, he spoke vaguely, "It's very mysterious, can only be understood intuitively, not explained in words. I really can't think of how to describe it."

"Hmm, that makes sense," Mao Nanbei nodded, thinking that what Lu Xun said wasn't wrong.

She sat next to Lu Xun, her cat ears suddenly twitching, as if she had remembered something, and said, "If I remember correctly, you don't even have a sword yet, do you?"

Lu Xun nodded; he really didn't have any equipment except for a Storage Ring.

So, without saying anything else, he said, "Lu Xun thanks Fourth Senior Sister."

Mao Nanbei slowly typed a question mark on her face and said, "What are you thanking me for?"

"Uh, isn't Fourth Senior Sister going to gift me a sword?" Lu Xun shamelessly began to extort.

Mao Nanbei: "..."

She looked at Lu Xun with a disgusted expression, then stuck out her little butt and directly pushed him off the rattan chair.

"It's more comfortable to sit on this chair alone!" the little loli exclaimed.

Lu Xun wasn't angry, anyway, he had rested enough. He patted his butt and went to the kitchen to make breakfast.

Mao Nanbei's ears twitched, and she immediately followed, grinning, "Little Martial Brother, I didn't mean to do that! Slurp!"

"What are we eating today? Slurp!"

"Is it okay to make pumpkin porridge, Little Martial Brother? Slurp slurp!"

In the end, they did indeed make pumpkin porridge for breakfast.

Pumpkin porridge is a relatively healthy food. Pumpkins contain cobalt, a trace element necessary for pancreatic cells to synthesize insulin, which helps prevent and treat diabetes.

Cooking porridge seems simple, but it actually tests one's control over the heat. Lu Xun has a lot of experience in cooking porridge. After Mao Nanbei had it once, she couldn't forget it.

After cooking, the two went to the Bamboo Forest.

Second Senior Sister, sitting on the large rock, was still very thin. Lu Xun never thought of feeding her into Murong Yan; he just wanted her to not be so skinny. Now it seems that she won't gain weight anytime soon.

The feeding plan has a long way to go. Comrade Lu Xun needs to work harder!

In fact, it's not just Mao Nanbei who likes to drink porridge, Second Senior Sister also likes it very much.

Clearly, everyone is a cultivator, but the sound of "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh" came from the Bamboo Forest, as they were all trying to cool the porridge.

In reality, they weren't that afraid of the heat, but eating it at the right temperature would make it taste better.

Cooling it down with spiritual power was also an option, but that would take away the joy of eating. One must enjoy the process!

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

The silent Bamboo Forest began to have the liveliness of the morning.

After eating and drinking their fill, Lu Xun and Mao Nanbei leaned against the large bamboo as usual, rubbing their bulging bellies clockwise with their right hands, looking satisfied as they digested their food.

Their movements were very uniform, maintaining a consistent rhythm of rubbing their bellies. Anyone who didn't know better would think it was a father playing a parent-child game with his daughter.

Lu Xun seemed to be spacing out, but he was actually paying attention to the Tian Chen game forum.

Since the forum opened, Lu Xun would always take some time to look at it after meals.

Although Tian Chen hasn't officially launched yet, and there isn't much useful information inside, it doesn't hurt to take a look.

In the twenty-second century, Tian Chen aroused great anticipation during its promotion period, so even though they haven't officially played the game yet, many players are already chatting enthusiastically in the forum.

The flow of time in Tian Chen is different from reality. The official data is 10:1.

Lu Xun discovered through studying the posting times in the forum that it is still the same now.

When he looked at the forum three days ago, the Silly Players' posting time was the 11th, and when he went to look today, it was still the 11th.

One year on Earth, ten years in Tian Chen, Lu Xun suddenly felt old.

The open beta of Tian Chen is in July of Tian Chen Calendar 4000, and now it is September of Tian Chen Calendar 3997. It seems that there are less than three years left, but in reality, it won't be long, only a little over three months.

Today, he found an official post in the forum, which was actually drawing lucky players to participate in the closed beta!

Lu Xun couldn't help but become serious.

"The players... are they coming?" he said in his heart.
