Liu Changsheng's Bad Luck
"Meow~ What an idiot." A cat stood where Liu Changsheng had been crouching, speaking in human language.
"Wow! This spirit beast can actually talk! It must be a spirit beast of level seven or higher!" The appearance of this cat immediately shocked all the cultivators inside and outside the Bookstore.
According to the laws of the Azure Dragon Continent, only high-level spirit beasts of the seventh rank or above have the ability to speak human language. Spirit beasts below the seventh rank do not have the ability to speak human language. In other words, Liu Changsheng encountered a high-level spirit beast.
"Wouldn't this Mad Scholar be in great danger?" a cultivator said worriedly.
Liu Changsheng's cultivation has been sealed, and he is now just like an ordinary person. If this cat really has a cultivation level of seven or higher, then Liu Changsheng's chances of surviving are almost zero.
Thinking of this, everyone turned their attention back to the projection and continued watching.
"Help!"
"Help~ I~ glug~ no~ glug~ I can~ glug~ swim."
The splashing sound of Liu Changsheng rolling around in the river startled the Carvanha away, and it quickly left the area.
"Meowth, hurry up and go!" A man and a woman appeared on the shore and called out to the cat beside the bank.
"Meow~" The cat named Meowth meowed and quickly climbed ashore, without continuing its attack on Liu Changsheng.
"Why did you kick him just now?" the woman asked curiously as they walked.
"Meow~ I saw he wanted to go down, so I helped him out! The boss said we should be helpful."
"Meowth is right, look how happy that person is having in the water," the male voice said.
"He sounds like he's calling for help, doesn't he?" the girl asked uncertainly.
"You must have misheard! The river only comes up to his waist, why are you yelling for help?"
"Meow~ Can you guys stop discussing unimportant things? We need to find the moonstone faster."
"..."
Liu Changsheng struggled for a while before finally feeling something hard under his feet, and then he managed to stand up.
Then he stood there blankly, the river water rushing down to his waist.
"Haha! I can't take it anymore, he's going to make me laugh to death!" This time, the onlookers weren't mocking Liu Changsheng, but they were all laughing uncontrollably. They had clearly seen Liu Changsheng rolling around in the water just now.
"Has anyone used an array to record what just happened? If so, please send me a copy later! I'll buy it for one hundred Spirit Crystal," a cultivator shouted.
"I'll pay two hundred, give me one too."
"I want one too. If he ever acts arrogantly in front of me again, I'll show him this scene, haha!"
Even Ma Feifei couldn't help but smile, and the thought of buying a copy crossed her mind. What had just happened was simply a stain on Liu Changsheng's entire life! It could never be washed away.
"Who told you to run into an invincible villain? Maybe it's just bad luck." Looking at Liu Changsheng on the projection screen, Ma Feifei smiled and changed his posture to make himself more comfortable watching the following plot. This was really too interesting, even more interesting than watching TV dramas.
The story continues. Liu Changsheng walked ashore without saying a word, his face dark. His clothes were soaked by the river, and his hair was wet and sticky to his face. Water dripped down Liu Changsheng face from time to time.
His cultivation was currently sealed, and he had no way to use his Spiritual Power to dry the water off his body. He could only roll his hair up, wring out the water, and then tie it with a blade of grass from the roadside to make himself look less disheveled.
For a Spirit Venerable to fall to such a state, Liu Changsheng felt that he had experienced a low point in his life.
However, Liu Changsheng calmed down and did not do anything rash because of this embarrassing incident. He took out a map, glanced at the patrol route, and continued his patrol.
Mt. Moonview is neither too big nor too small. After a day, Liu Changsheng had completed three-quarters of his patrol mission, and in a little while, he would finish the patrol.
The moon had already risen quietly, Mt. Moonview was silent, save for the occasional sound of birds and animals.
Liu Changsheng arrived at a fruit tree. After patrolling all day, his cultivation was sealed, and he was getting hungry.
The tree wasn't very tall, only about four or five meters, and it was covered with unknown fruits. Liu Changsheng put away the map, rolled up his sleeves, and started climbing the tree to pick the fruits.
Although his cultivation was sealed, climbing trees was a piece of cake for Liu Changsheng's physical abilities. He quickly climbed up the tree, found a thicker trunk to sit on, picked some fruit hanging from the branches, and ate it without even wiping it.
The fruit was delicious, but Liu Changsheng remained silent, his face grim as he ate it in silence, gazing into the distance.
Liu Changsheng never imagined he would end up like this. If heaven gave him another chance, he would never choose to enter the world of Pokémon. Unfortunately, it didn't work out; things just happened. Here, he not only lost his former arrogance and prestige, but also suffered countless humiliations. First, he was tricked by Li Ke, then forced to work for him for a Poké Ball. Later, when he decided to catch a Pokémon, he was tricked by a talking cat that kicked him into the river. Most importantly, because he couldn't swim, he floundered in the waist-deep water for ages, swallowing a lot of water. Now, to fill his stomach, he had to climb trees like a monkey and pick fruit.
I've lost more face in my entire life than I have in a single day.
Thinking of this, Liu Changsheng looked up at the sky. For some reason, he felt as if a phantom had appeared in the sky, with the Mysterious Bookstore as its backdrop. Inside, there were many, many cultivators sitting on small stools, holding snacks and eating while watching him and laughing.
"Damn it!" Liu Changsheng was furious and punched the tree trunk he was sitting on.
With a 'crack', Liu Changsheng's punch was quite powerful, breaking the tree trunk. Without its support, the trunk couldn't bear Liu Changsheng's weight and fell down with him.
'Bang!' Liu Changsheng slammed heavily onto the ground.
"Ouch, I can't take it anymore! Someone save me!" Inside the Bookstore, a cultivator was laughing so hard that his lower abdomen hurt. He clutched his stomach with one hand and held onto the wall with the other, afraid that he would fall to the ground.
"Is he a fool?"
"Nonsense, that's not stupid, that's ruthless enough to hurt even themselves."
"So we shouldn't call him Mad Scholar, we should call him a ruthless person, right?"
"Haha~~~" Everyone laughed.
"Interesting." Sitting in the corner, Jiang Yibei looked at the projection and pondered. He didn't mock Liu Changsheng's experience; instead, he was more interested in how Liu Changsheng entered the world of the book.
"What are you doing?" Jiang Yibei glanced at Jiang Bieli, who was scribbling on paper, and couldn't help but ask.
Jiang Bieli replied without looking up, "Take notes! Brother, didn't you realize that the reason he was in such a sorry state wasn't just because his cultivation was sealed, but more importantly, because he knew nothing about anything inside and wasn't prepared at all? I think we should summarize the problems he encountered and find solutions so that when we go into the book's world to capture Pokémon, we won't be as embarrassed as he was!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yibei glanced at Jiang Bieli in surprise, never expecting that his silly younger brother could say such a lot of reasonable things.
"Write it well, and give me a copy later."
"Okay, big brother."
