When Ling Pingan opened his eyes, he found himself sitting beside a bonfire.
The cold wind blew on his face, making him a little confused.
He stood up and looked around him.
Obviously, it was late at night, and he was probably in a forest.
There was nothing around him that he could refer to.
He frowned. Just as he was completely confused, a floating frame appeared in front of him.
Lines of words appeared from the floating frame.
Welcome, dear player. You have already entered the Nightmare World through the descending mode.
You can find out your identity by retrieving the items around you.
Thus, Ling Pingan began to search around the bonfire.
Finally, he found something in a pit that seemed to have been buried.
“A flying suit?” Ling Pingan frowned.
As an author of web novels, he recognized the flying suit.
After all, it was a standard accessory of the Brocade-clan Guards of the previous dynasty!
Then, he found a long and narrow saber. “A spring embroidery saber?!” Ling Pingan became more and more confused.
Fortunately, he saw the attributes of these two items at once.
Brand new flying suit: Origin: All Brocade-clan Guards’ Nightmare World. Texture: Low-grade Silver! Material: Makeup Flower Luo, Makeup Flower Yarn, Makeup Flower Silk, skilled craftsman, extraordinary person, a piece produced within a year!
Special effects: Ward off evil, drive away evil spirits.
Description: This is the proof of the Brocade-clan Guards!
Brand new spring embroidery saber: Origin: all the Nightmare World of the Brocade-clan Guards! Quality: Low-grade Silver! Material: meteorite iron!
Special Effect: Sharp.
Description: This is the proof of the Brocade-clan Guard!
“So, I am a Brocade-clan Guard?” Ling Pingan suddenly laughed.
He waved the flying suit, and something fell.
He picked it up and found that it was an appointment letter. There was a vague official seal on it.
Ling Pingan tried hard to recognize it for a while before he finally recognized the words on the seal: Commander-in-chief’s residence of Zhang Hong’s country!
“Zhang Hong’s Country?” Ling Pingan scratched his head. “It’s named after a person?”
“But…” he frowned slightly. “I seem to have heard of this name somewhere…”
He opened the letter and read it through the bonfire. “I hereby order the Brocade-clan Guard, Zhang Anmin, to patrol the Beian Village of Zhang Hong’s country to ensure the safety of the people and slay demons and devils!”
After reading the letter, an image appeared in front of Ling Pingan.
The young Brocade-clan Guard, who had just walked out of the city had a face full of fear.
“I don’t want to… I don’t want to die…”
His hands and feet were trembling.
“I’m still young… I haven’t married… I don’t want to die…”
Thus, he walked into a forest.
He sat in the dense forest until it was dark.
He experienced a serious mental struggle. Finally, he took off his flying suit and embroidered spring saber and buried them by the bonfire.
The video ended here.
A new pop-up window appeared: Dear player, you have learned the identity of your decedent: Commander-in-chief’s residence of Zhang Hong’s country of Great Ming Dynasty, the new inspector of Beian Village, Zhang Anmin!
You have a choice:
A: A man is indebted to the country. He must protect the people!
B: The sky is falling, there is a tall man to hold it up, I will leave first!
Ling Pingan did not think much and chose option A.
Even an ordinary man had the responsibility of the rise and fall of the country. That was a principle he had learned when he was in primary school.
Although he grew up to be someone useless, and only wanted to laze around.
He was still willing to give it a try in the game!
Hence, another pop-up window appeared: Dear player, you have chosen to head to Beian Village for your mission. Please arrive at Beian Village before daybreak!
Legend of Nightmare’s warm reminder: If you are unable to arrive at Beian village in time, then you may never be able to take up your mission again!
Ling Pingan looked at the reminder and scratched his head. “What does it mean?”
“Does it mean that Beian village is in danger?”
Coincidentally, at this moment, the attribute panel that had been sealed could finally be used.
He quickly pulled out his attribute panel and looked at it.
“What rubbish!” He could not help but comment.
The four dimensions of this character that he had descended in were all within two digits.
Among them, the lowest was the mental attributes, which was less than 7 points, followed by 8 points of charisma.
In other words, strength and endurance were still passable. One had 12 points of HP, while the other had 13 points.
Moreover, they were all normal attributes!
In other words, if this character was in front of Ling Pingan’s two characters, he would probably be crushed to death with a single finger.
There was only one skill in him.
Moreover, it was a skill that was trash to the point that Ling Pingan was about to throw up: Strength of the Wind Master LVL 1: immediately deducts 20 hp and adds the strength of the Wind Master to your weapon, causing your next five attacks to have a cleansing effect, inflicts additional damage of mental attributes X1.2 on your enemies, slowing down their attack and movement speed.
The only thing that barely caught Ling Pingan’s eye was a passive skill called ‘Blood of the Wind Master’. It was described as a skill that could recover hp through damage in battle. Each time, it could recover up to 1/10 of the HP of the attack from the enemy!
“No wonder he wanted to run…” Ling Pingan sighed as he looked at the attributes and the lonely skill.
With his small body, he could only use the skill six times with less than 120 hp.
However, the key point was that the damage to this skill was pitiful!
Each time, it could only deal an additional 15 points of damage. It was likely that it could not even break the defense of the monsters that Ling Pingan had fought before!
The so-called battle HP recovery was like a joke.
With this pitiful body and damage, if he encountered a monster with slightly longer HP, wouldn’t he need to kill the monster for a whole year to finish it?
And the opponent might just casually scratch it and the character would die.
“Too weak! Too weak!” Ling Pingan shook his head, “Let me strengthen him!”
Thus, he opened the exchange option next to the character pane, intending to get some point certificate from the main account to strengthen this character.
In the end, he received a notification: “Dear player, every time you link with another game character, you will need to deduct 5,000 points of handling fee!”
“Furthermore, every time you link the points or equipment, you will need to pay an additional transaction tax equivalent to 5% of the value of the points or equipment!”
Ling Pingan’s face was gloomy in a sudden.
However, he had no choice but to press the button to confirm. After paying the 5,000 hp handling fee and 2,000 points for the so-called transaction tax, he transferred 100,000 points from the account of Monk Fahai to this account.
Then, he began to add points.
After thinking about it, he added all his attributes, except charisma, to 20 hp.
It was not that he did not want to continue adding.
But after 20 HP, every attribute point required 2,000 Nightmare points!
It was too expensive!
Ling Pingan did not add anymore!
In any case, the account could only be used once, there was no need to waste too much.
All of that cost a total of 27,000 points!
As for that skill, Ling Pingan casually spent 5,000 points and upgraded it to LVL 5.
The description read: Immediately deduct 20 hp and add the strength of the Wind Master to your weapon, allowing your next eight attacks to have a cleansing effect, causing additional damage equal to your mental attributes x 1.6, there was also a certain chance to cause a paralyzing effect on your enemy.
It was better than nothing!
That was Ling Pingan’s evaluation of this skill!
Looking at the remaining points, Ling Pingan thought, “I’ll go to that Beian village first, then we’ll see what we can do!”
He had to leave some capital to adapt to the situation!
Thus, he picked up the flying suit, placed it in the equipment column, and put it on.
That was also the advantage of this kind of game. No matter how complicated the clothing was he could change into them with one click!
However…
Ling Pingan raised his head and looked around.
Not to mention that he was poor in directions, he couldn’t tell the North, South, East, West at all.
But even he could. Where would he find out where the so-called Beian village was?
Holding the embroidered spring saber, Ling Pingan raised his head and looked up at the sky.
In the gap between the leaves, a blood-red evil moon hung above his head.
The moonlight was cold and strange, and it seemed that something was faintly appearing in the blood moon.
“Do you want to scare me?” Ling Pingan stuck out his tongue and showed his disdain for this ignorant and stupid game official. “I was not brought up with fear!”
Suddenly, a light flashed in his mind. “I got it!”
“Leave everything to God’s will!”
He held the spring embroidery saber in his hand and casually tossed it.
When he was in school, Ling Pingan had a serious condition of favoring certain subjects!
He couldn’t learn physics and chemistry no matter how hard he tried!
Thus, every time he took an exam, he would encounter a problem. He recognized all the questions, but he didn’t know how to do most of them.
Then the problem was how did Ling Pingan answer the questions?
The answer was the ballpoint pen’s law!
When he encountered a multiple-choice question, he would write down the four choices on the table.
Then, he would hand everything over to the great ballpoint pen. He would turn the tip of the pen and fill in the answers it landed on!
Not to mention, the accuracy rate was extremely high. It was almost 80-90% accuracy!
Therefore, in some of the exams with more multiple-choice questions, Ling Pingan had obtained excellent results.
It was a pity that there were too few multiple-choice questions in the college entrance exam, so even though he had almost obtained full marks in literature, history, and geography.
However, his physics and chemistry were very bad, so he had no choice but to go to a second-rated university.
And that was also because of the special enrolment!
Now…
Ling Pingan recalled his once invincible ballpoint pen law.
He picked up the spring embroidery saber in his hand and muttered, “Where is Beian Village? Where is Beian Village?”
Then, he threw the saber into the sky, and the handle spun and fell to the ground. The tip of the knife pointed to his left.
“This way!” Ling Pingan picked up the spring embroidery saber and walked to his left happily.
Not long after, he walked out of the forest and came to a road that looked like an official road.
Under the cold moonlight, a road sign appeared on the side of the road.
An arrow pointed to the front. There were words below it: Beian village.
Ling Pingan immediately chuckled. “Although I haven’t used it for many years, this ballpoint pen law is still as good as ever!”
Thus, he happily followed the direction pointed by the arrow and strode forward.
… … ..
PS: Readers, especially those in school, please do not learn the ballpoint pen law of the main character. The main character is doing it for a special reason, not because he doesn’t like physics and chemistry!
Yes!
Learning is very important, and even more so, do not favor certain subjects only!
In particular, many student readers, please do not learn from the main character!
We have to equal our strength in all subjects!
