Chapter 31 - 31 31 The Weakling Hero

31: Chapter 31: The Weakling Hero 31: Chapter 31: The Weakling Hero Editor: Henyee Translations As the Qiantang River flows downstream, it widens.

Ye Weiming emerged from Zhang Cuishan’s cabin only to find Yin Bukui and another disciple from the Wudang Sect standing at the bow of the boat, enjoying the river breeze.

After a slight smile, he proactively approached them and struck up a conversation.

Yin Bukui asked, “How did your chat with Fifth Senior Uncle go, Brother Ye?”

Ye Weiming shook his head slightly, “Zhang Wu also mustered very little knowledge about the whole incidence.

I didn’t learn much more from him.

But as for this brother, I still don’t know how to address you?”

Now, only two Wudang disciples remain.

Ye Weiming felt it necessary to acquaint himself with the other team member.

The name of the disciple stirred a strange expression on his face when he was asked by Ye Weiming.

Yin Bukui laughed heartily, answering for him, “Speaking of him, he is quite famous in ‘Eternal Chivalry’.

Have you ever heard of Xuan Xiaobi, Brother Ye?”

Upon hearing the name Xuan Xiaobi, Ye Weiming’s eyes widened in surprise.

He looked at the rather good-looking young man before him and couldn’t help but exclaim, “You’re the weak…” He promptly stopped himself, aware that uttering the rest could be quite offensive.

Instead, Xuan Xiaobi, seeing Ye Weiming’s reaction, casually waved his hand and said, “Yes, I’m the Weakling Hero.

That’s me.

Please take care of me in the future.”

In ‘Eternal Chivalry’, with a million players online at the same time, it was quite customary to occasionally see someone complete a first kill or something similar on the TV.

It’s just that this gentleman’s achievement was rather unique, causing Ye Weiming to remember him vividly.

The first player in the game to be pecked to death by a chicken, hence earned the title “Weakling Hero!”

Seeing the other person’s nonchalance, Ye Weiming finally asked the question that had confused him for a long time, “There are more people than chickens in Novice Village, how did you manage it?”

“You’re talking about the first two hours of the game.” Xuan Xiaobi shook his head, “After entering the game, I first got a task of practicing calligraphy.

I ended up practicing for two hours.

The reward for the task was pretty good though, it directly gave me three points of enlightenment.

By the time I went to the task of killing chickens, there were already fewer people there.”

So you were pecked to death by hens?

Ye Weiming still finds it somewhat implausible.

After all, a chicken is just a chicken.

Can it be fiercer than a person?

But he heard Xuan Xiaobi continue, “During my task, I saw a bastard harassing a female player.

I can’t stand this, so I confronted him.

The guy got physical, and I eliminated him.

After the fight, though, my health had run out.

However, since I just started the game, I failed to constantly check my health bar.

I mindlessly killed a hen, and three roosters instantly attacked me.

Next thing I knew, I had the title of Weakling Hero and a girlfriend.”

Wow, that’s heroic!

Saving a damsel in distress and scoring a girlfriend?

Smooth move!

After introducing Xuan Xiaobi, Yin Bukui changed the topic: “What’s your take on the previous ambush by the Shaolin Sect, Brother Ye?”

“Yin brother, are you trying to test me?”

Yin Bukui immediately waved it off, and then explained, “Since we’re all in the same boat right now, aiming for the same task, exchanging insights can help us better complete tasks, can’t they?”

Hearing this, Ye Weiming responded with a faint smile before bluntly saying, “From a plot standpoint, this event is reasonable.

Since you guys could find clues about the Heavenly Eagle Sect, the Shaolin disciples may have also received news about the Dragon Saber.

After all, if we set aside the clandestine movements of the Heavenly Eagle Sect, Yu Daidan was the last one to touch the Dragon Saber.

The Shaolin Sect has reasons to suspect that the Wudang Sect got accurate news about Dragon Saber.”

Hearing this, Yin Bukui nodded earnestly, “True, even when he was tortured, Yu Daidan didn’t spill any secrets.

It may not be convincing for outsiders to believe that Wudang Sect doesn’t know the whereabouts of the Dragon Saber.

Previously, I cornered myself into a narrow view and surprisingly didn’t think of this.”

Shrugging his shoulders, Ye Weiming continued, “Actually, the plot is just an excuse that holds water.

What I think is that the system doesn’t want the player to complete this task smoothly, so it deliberately increased the difficulty.

First by making disciples from Shaolin and Wudang Sects fight each other, then the mysterious man steps in for the final selection.

Whoever survives moves on to the next stage.”

At this point, Xuan Xiaobi suddenly chimed in, “What I can’t figure out is the role of the mysterious man.

He interfered, then attacked disciples from both sects.

This seems somewhat contradictory.”

“Maybe he just wanted to rescue Zhang Cuishan.

After all, injuring a Shaolin disciple would slow down the Shaolin NPCs.

Besides, if the Wudang disciples die, Zhang Cuishan would lose his baggage and easily escape.

Just like before, he was able to flee with both of you guys in his arms.

If all seven of you were alive, he might have struggled to carry you all.”

After explaining his theory, he waved his hands in dismissal, “This is just a wild guess.

Don’t take it too seriously.

After all, we know nothing about the mysterious man.

Who knows what the real situation is?”

“Actually I have to tell you, Brother Ye, that our tasks as the seven Wudang disciples are interconnected.

If even one of us can complete the task, all of us will get the final reward.

The main differences lie in the fact that those who contribute more to the task will receive more benefits.”

Having openly discussed the general outline of his task, Yin Bukui went on to chat casually with Ye Weiming.

Through their conversation, Ye Weiming finally discovered that Yin Bukui’s master was the Sixth Hero of Wudang Seven Heroes, Yin Liting.

Apparently, Yin Liting was a chatterbox and loved to tell Yin Bukui about various peculiar and strange people in the wulin world.

For example, the Sect Hierarch of the Heavenly Eagle Sect is called Yin Tianzheng, who was originally one of the four protectors of Ming Sect.

They also talked about the Golden-Haired Lion King Xie Xun from the four protectors, a well-known villain in wulin.

He had a grudge against his master Cheng Kun, known as the Hun Yuan Pi Li hand, who would randomly murder and incinerate, then leave behind a bloody message that read “Killer Hun Yuan Pi Li hand Cheng Kun” etc…

The three of them chatted for more than an hour.

Not until Ye Weiming left feeling rather content did Xuan Xiaobi finally ask Yin Bukui, “Why did you go against your usual practice today and tell him so much?”

“Actually, all I told him are things from the past that are not considered secrets in the Jianghu,” answered Yin Bukui, “Moreover, plot development ultimately serves the game.

It’s impossible for the knowledgeable players to find “The Nine Yang Manual” in the scripture of Langaha Sutra, or easily find the lost swordsmanship of the Five Peaks from a chiseled cliff at the Penalty Peak.”

“In fact, since the moment we came down from the mountain, even though the general trend of the plot has not changed, the details have changed dramatically.

In the plot, there were no players like us, and Zhang Cuishan went directly to Mount Wangpan on Yin Susu’s boat after the extermination of Dragon Gate Escorts.”

“Now, Ye Weiming’s task goal is the same as ours, revealing some necessary information to him can help us to gain more benefits, right?”

Xuan Xiaobi, still somewhat depressed, said, “But by doing so, he’s definitely going to gain more benefits than us.”

“So what?”

Yin Bukui shook his head slightly, “Even if I did this and he gained 10 more benefits, while each of us only gained 5, we’d still profit.”

“We should look at the bigger picture.

‘Eternal Chivalry’ is a game with a million players online at the same time.

The more we can enhance our strength, the bigger advantage we can maintain.

As for others gaining more benefits than us, what does it have to do with us?”
