My Sister Arrives and Immediately Has to Face Danger!

Qingque pushed the Jade Abacus tiles in front of her and said excitedly.

She looked at the other three people at the table.

Yanqing's face was pale, and the other passerby's expression was equally unnatural. Only Ji Yuan remained calm.

Qingque's luck today had been exceptionally good. She had already won several rounds in a row. Before they had even finished one full round, Yanqing was practically on the verge of tears.

They were not playing for high stakes, but Yanqing truly had no money.

"I'll write another IOU. Come collect it from me at the start of the month."

Yanqing said this to Qingque.

At the same time, regret flooded his heart.

Why had he let himself get provoked so easily?

He had originally just been watching from the side, but Qingque had casually said a few things, and he could not take it anymore, so he joined the "battle." The result was naturally a crushing defeat. Not only had he lost his last bit of travel money, he had also written a whole stack of IOUs.

"Sure, sure." Qingque was not playing cards to make money anyway.

After finishing the IOU, Yanqing turned to Ji Yuan and said mournfully, "Let's stop playing."

The passerby who had only lost a little hurriedly nodded as well, glanced to the side, and simply slipped away.

"Mm."

Ji Yuan seemed to have caught some beginner's luck and had won a few rounds as well, so the money in his hand had not decreased. He took out his phone and said to Qingque, "Miss Qingque, give me all of Yanqing's IOUs. I'll pay you."

"How could that be okay?"

Yanqing immediately tried to stop him.

"It's fine. When you come to challenge me to a spar later, just bring money to redeem them."

"Oh."

Yanqing breathed a sigh of relief.

Just then, he saw his phone vibrate. When he opened it, he discovered that Ji Yuan had transferred him another sum of money.

Ji Yuan said to Yanqing, "Your travel expenses. Were you planning to run everywhere from now until the end of the month?"

"Mm-hmm, alright, Brother Ji Yuan."

Yanqing said happily.

Yanqing was happy, but Ji Yuan was even happier.

Four consecutive notification chimes rang in his ear, telling Ji Yuan that he had obtained all the achievements he wanted.

"Next time, just call me Qingque." Qingque accepted Ji Yuan's money and added him as a friend while she was at it. "When I'm free and you're free, let's meet in Exalting Sanctum again to play Jade Abacus."

"Mm-hmm."

Ji Yuan and Yanqing bid Qingque farewell.

When they arrived at the entrance of the restaurant, their number was called at just the right time.

While eating, Ji Yuan opened his rewards.

You played a round of Jade Abacus with Zhao Yi, a famous gambler of the Luofu Starfaring Vessel, and won. Reward: Jade Abacus skill experience +1

Hah, that unknown passerby would actually become a famous gambler a hundred years later. Life really was unpredictable.

As he received the memories, Ji Yuan thought to himself.

Unfortunately, those memories were useless apart from playing cards with Qingque. Ji Yuan was an upright gentleman; he was irreconcilable with gambling and drugs.

He still had to see the remaining rewards.

Please give me something that can save my life. Something that can save my life!

Ji Yuan thought to himself.

You exchanged knowledge with the Diviner of the Divination Commission. Reward: divination technique from an unknown planet.

Did playing Jade Abacus with someone count as exchanging knowledge? Qingque was probably the only one who would think so.

But...

The Diviner of the Divination Commission.

That position was truly terrifying.

One of the Luofu Starfaring Vessel's major powers.

Aside from the general, only the heads of the other commissions could stand on equal footing with her.

That slacker would actually become the Diviner a hundred years later. The way things developed really was strange.

If he invested in her early...

"Right, are you familiar with Qingque?"

While eating, Ji Yuan asked Yanqing.

"Mm... I think I heard Lady Fu Xuan mention once that she had a staff member named Qingque who slacked off all day. But when I was chatting with the general, he told me that Qingque was actually very talented. As long as she corrected her attitude a little, she would probably become the future Diviner."

After hearing Yanqing say that, the joy on Ji Yuan's face immediately faded quite a bit.

Well then, even Yanqing knew. Qingque herself probably knew too, so being overly attentive to her would likely not get him much.

In summary, he could fleece her, but he could not fleece her dry.

Yanqing looked at Ji Yuan's expression and asked, "What's wrong? You seem much more disappointed."

"Nothing. I originally thought I could go back and practice Jade Abacus properly, then beat Qingque. Now that I know she's from the Divination Commission, I'm afraid practicing would not mean much."

"Mm-hmm." Yanqing nodded seriously.

He continued eating.

Ji Yuan continued examining the divination technique.

"It's still good to have a divination technique like this. If I know about danger in advance, it'll be easier to deal with."

He thought to himself.

Then Ji Yuan began carefully reading the divination technique.

The expression on his face darkened even further.

This divination technique came from an unknown planet and specialized in being one hundred percent accurate. However, it had enormous limitations. On one hand, it could only show a single scene from the future, without revealing any causes or consequences. On the other hand, it could only be used on others; one could not calculate one's own fate.

Most importantly, this divination technique consumed one's own life force.

Ji Yuan felt that this divination technique was not particularly useful.

Still, he memorized it.

Setting the matter of the divination technique aside, Ji Yuan looked at the final two achievements.

You aided the destitute Luofu Sword Champion. Reward: weapon Longsword Sky Dome (Upper)

You received an IOU personally written by the Luofu Sword Champion. Reward: weapon Longsword Sky Dome (Lower)

What was this?

The two achievements combined into one weapon.

And how exactly was he supposed to receive this weapon?

It could not possibly just appear out of thin air, could it?

Ji Yuan thought to himself, then silently willed the weapon into his hand.

Just as he finished thinking that, a mechanical bird flew into the restaurant. After circling around the dining hall once, it landed beside Ji Yuan.

Was this how it was delivered?

Ji Yuan thought to himself.

He checked the recipient name and confirmed that it was indeed his.

Then he immediately signed his name and opened the package.

Ji Yuan was stunned when he saw the longsword inside the box.

The box did not contain a longsword. Or rather, calling them fragments of a longsword would have been more accurate. There was a hilt and several fragments that could barely be pieced together into the shape of a short sword.

What was going on?

You split it into upper and lower parts, but you did not even put them together?

Was the system really this stingy?

Ji Yuan grumbled inwardly, then picked up the hilt.

The moment he did, Ji Yuan immediately sensed that something was wrong.

As his hand pressed against the hilt, dark blue particles of light instantly appeared and enveloped the sword fragments.

When he drew the hilt, the fragments were linked together by the light, forming a complete longsword.

"What is that?"

Yanqing swallowed and spoke as he looked at the weapon in Ji Yuan's hand.

"This is a longsword I bought for myself. What do you think?"

Ji Yuan smiled smugly and said to Yanqing.

Yanqing carefully examined the longsword, then came to a conclusion about Ji Yuan.

"Brother, your swordsmanship doesn't deserve that sword."

When My Little Sister Arrives, Danger Comes With Her!

The moment he heard Yanqing say that, Ji Yuan's expression soured.

I know my swordsmanship is a little lacking, but you didn't have to put it like that.

"After we finish eating, I'll show you my swordsmanship."

Ji Yuan said to Yanqing.

"Mm-hmm."

Naturally, Yanqing hurriedly nodded when he heard that.

Nothing was more interesting than practicing swordsmanship.

He quickly finished eating, then pulled Ji Yuan outside.

As they walked outside, Ji Yuan continuously studied his own longsword.

The longsword seemed to have been fused together by some advanced technology. The light emitted from its hilt was somewhat similar to the laser swords Ji Yuan had seen before. Feeling the hilt, Ji Yuan discovered several mechanisms on it.

Ji Yuan lightly manipulated them, and the longsword changed as well.

The sword softened in an instant, then immediately hardened again. When he pressed another mechanism on the hilt, the fragments suddenly extended more than ten meters. Then Ji Yuan pressed another switch, and the fragments returned to form a longsword once more.

Ji Yuan flicked the sword through a flourish and struck a cool pose.

The two found an empty spot in Exalting Sanctum. Yanqing also drew the longsword at his waist and assumed a defensive stance.

"Brother Ji Yuan, attack."

He said to Ji Yuan.

"Alright."

Ji Yuan nodded. The longsword in his hand immediately shot out toward Yanqing's wrist. Yanqing instantly raised his sword and knocked the tip aside. Ji Yuan then retracted the fragments, rushed in front of Yanqing, and launched an attack.

The two exchanged several moves in rapid succession.

It was Ji Yuan's first time using Longsword Sky Dome, and he was still very unfamiliar with it. He never changed its form, instead fighting Yanqing solely in its longsword form. Ji Yuan's swordsmanship consisted of techniques Yanqing would improve a hundred years later, so it was almost identical to Yanqing's current style. Especially after Yanqing saw those improved moves, he adjusted his own sword techniques by analogy, making himself even stronger.
