This Is Not the Female Demon Lord I Remembered
Chapter 281 - 272: Being Handsome is Everything!

Chapter 281: Chapter 272: Being Handsome is Everything!

"Commander Wu asks for the two of you to make a trip to the Mystic Bureau."

"A mission?"

Hearing this, Bai Xiaomo keenly sensed there was something unusual about it. This time it definitely wasn’t just about mission rewards; there must be other matters waiting for them.

Excitement also flickered in Ju Xiaobei’s eyes.

It wasn’t a problem for NPCs to show reactions; in fact, it was worrisome if they didn’t. Reactions meant they could be approached for new missions or potentially significant events.

Under the envious gazes of other players, Bai Xiaomo and Ju Xiaobei walked with heads held high, following the clearly-duty-bound Commander Wu, evidently off to undertake a mission.

However, what both of them did not expect was that the person who truly sought them was not Wu Yangshuo, but Liang Yi.

"Boss Liang wants us to join his sect?" Bai Xiaomo and Ju Xiaobei were shocked upon hearing Wu Yangshuo’s message.

Is this some kind of touching game, 2299?

Where else can you find such a conscientious NPC? The players had only just logged on, and Boss Liang had already thought of them, going to such lengths to arrange rewards for them.

Wuwuwu, feeling the love!

Both were surprised when they saw the mission suddenly pop up on their panel; they had barely entered the game when the mission found them.

The brief was that the grand Liang Yi had become the Sect Leader of Purple Cloud Sect and was now opening its Mountain Gate wide to recruit the first batch of disciples. The mission reward was to bypass the assessment and directly join Purple Cloud Sect, but they would have to give up the qualification to join Complete Heaven Sect in exchange.

"..." Faced with two Abnormal People nearly ready to embrace and weep, Wu Yangshuo smacked his lips, unable to comprehend.

What has that Liang Yi done to move them so much?

"So, are you planning to continue to Complete Heaven Sect, or are you ready to join that kid’s Purple Cloud Sect?" Wu Yangshuo interrupted their self-moved moment; he still had a pile of work to do and couldn’t afford to dawdle with these two Abnormal People.

In his view, the answer to this question was clear. Any rational person wouldn’t pass up the chance to join Complete Heaven Sect, and these two who were clearly eager to tread the Cultivation Path wouldn’t refuse the opportunity to join Complete Heaven Sect, right?

He had researched Purple Cloud Sect and, in the last epoch, it was indeed formidable - even now’s Xuanzhou Immortal Dynasty couldn’t compare. But how much heritage was left for Purple Cloud Sect, which was reopening its Mountain Gate in this new epoch?

He heard that an ancient sect elder existed, but who knows what their Realm is or who they are? Not a single disciple remains in the sect.

Though the lineage persists, Wu Yangshuo felt that Purple Cloud Sect, in its current state, wasn’t suited for boldly recruiting disciples en masse. It would be wiser to keep a low profile and nurture a singular disciple of exceptional talent, potentially leading to a proper reopening of the Mountain Gate in the future.

But Wu Yangshuo forgot that the ones before him were Abnormal People, different from ordinary folks.

"Thank you, Commander Wu, for relaying the message; we’ve made our decision," Bai Xiaomo and Ju Xiaobei exchanged glances, each reading the same answer in the other’s eyes.

"We wish to go to Purple Cloud Sect!"

"Hmm, well then, I’ll send you to Complete Heaven... wait a second, where did you say you want to go?" Wu Yangshuo’s hand was ready to grant them permission to use the Transmission Array to Complete Heaven Sect when he heard the unexpected answer.

"We’re going to Purple Cloud Sect, didn’t Boss Liang already invite us?" Bai Xiaomo asked, somewhat puzzled.

Although Complete Heaven Sect is a Super Force, the Taoist Sect where Boss Liang is also a Super Force, and there’s the most powerful Banished Immortal NPC in the game.

Though they’d never heard of Purple Cloud Sect inviting them to join, they didn’t believe it was unrelated to Taoist Sect. How could Boss Liang become Sect Leader of an unaffiliated sect? Both are Super Forces, and on Liang Yi’s side, there’s also the sentimental foundation and the game’s strongest Banished Immortal. It’s obvious which one they should choose, even without thinking.

"Hmm... Since you’ve made your choice, then I won’t interfere further. Here’s the permission for the Transmission Array; take good care of it." Although he wanted to tell them Taoist Sect might sound impressive but only has three people and is miserably low on resources - once they go there, they might not even have a place to stay.

But seeing the two’s determination, Wu Yangshuo didn’t plan to discourage them anymore. After all, they weren’t his sons. Why worry so much?

"Commander Wu, can we receive the mission reward for our last investigation of the Devouring Spirit Sect as well?" Bai Xiaomo remembered they’d be stepping out of Newbie Village and wouldn’t be back for a long time, so he planned to claim the mission rewards first.

"Oh, of course."

Wu Yangshuo was startled at Bai Xiaomo’s request; after that mission was issued, these Abnormal People truly made a great contribution, and he was ready to award the rewards.

But after the mission was over, none of these profit-driven Abnormal People came for their rewards. They disappeared without a trace, making Wu Yangshuo think these Abnormal People had turned a new leaf, doing good deeds without leaving a name.

He didn’t expect they were just waiting here!

"Ju Xiaobei, you can choose one item from some Cultivation Techniques, Magical Treasures, and a significant amount of spiritual coins kept by the Mystic Bureau," Wu Yangshuo, who still had a deep impression of this Abnormal Person who located the Vermilion Bird envoy’s direction, said to Ju Xiaobei first.

After watching Ju Xiaobei fall into a dilemma, Wu Yangshuo then turned to Bai Xiaomo, who was eagerly waiting on the side: "For you, I originally thought of giving you a Sixth Grade Cultivation Method, but since you are going to Purple Cloud Sect, you will certainly have other Cultivation Techniques to learn..."

"Thanks to Liang Yi’s good reputation, I can offer you an additional choice between a cultivation technique and a magical treasure, though you can’t pick it out yourselves."

Thinking of how much Liang Yi cared about these two Abnormal People, Wu Yangshuo didn’t mind doing them a favor to ride the momentum.

"Ding! Due to the player’s good relationship with the special task character Liang Yi, a special change has been triggered."

"Damn, is that even possible?" Bai Xiaomo was surprised once again. He didn’t expect Boss Liang’s face to be this valuable, even able to change the task reward. However, this left Bai Xiaomo, who has difficulty making decisions, stuck in another round of indecision. He really wanted both!

"I wonder if Commander Wu has any suggestions? We two have never been in contact with cultivation and don’t know the difference and value between these."

It was Ju Xiaobei who quickly caught on, imitating the NPC’s manner of speaking and tossing the question to Wu Yangshuo, hoping for his assistance.

With their level of favorability, this small matter should be no problem.

Bai Xiaomo, standing on the side, also lit up and nodded in agreement.

"Hmm..." Wu Yangshuo stroked his chin, pondering something he had overlooked.

For these two Abnormal People, they were still within the range of ordinary humans. In Wu Yangshuo’s view, whether it was a cultivation technique or a magical treasure, neither had they received any exposure, and naturally, they couldn’t discern their quality.

"That’s not a problem, after all, you’ve made quite a contribution to the Mystic Bureau." Wu Yangshuo thought for a moment and readily agreed.

"I personally recommend you choose a magical treasure."

Wu Yangshuo’s words were somewhat unexpected to Bai Xiaomo and Ju Xiaobei; they originally thought Wu Yangshuo would recommend a cultivation technique.

"Although a cultivation technique is a bit more valuable, you will be joining sects soon and the sects will provide you with cultivation techniques."

"Magical treasures and secret treasures are, as of now, the fastest and most effective way to improve your strength. And the magical treasure you’ll get as a task reward is not bad either, it’ll be enough for you to use for quite a long time, and even if it becomes outdated for you, you can still sell it for a good price."

Wu Yangshuo analyzed for them bit by bit, and both Bai Xiaomo and Ju Xiaobei nodded continuously.

"Thank you, Commander Wu, for the guidance. Then, we two will choose the magical treasures." Bai Xiaomo and the others imitated and respectfully gave Wu Yangshuo a salute.

"Good, here’s the list of magical treasures you can choose from, pick whatever you like. Ju Xiaobei can pick up to fifth-grade and Bai Xiaomo up to Sixth Grade at most."

Hearing Wu Yangshuo’s words, Bai Xiaomo’s mouth twitched. But he didn’t say much—after all, this opportunity was all thanks to Boss Liang’s clout.

Although the two were holding a list of equipment, what displayed in their own view was an equipment list. Sorted neatly by categories, for their selection from top to bottom.

"Damn, why does this gun look so cool? Only someone like me is worthy of it, I’m choosing you, my little darling!"

Bai Xiaomo was instantly attracted to a sixth-grade silver-white long gun with dragon patterns named Dragon Roar. It looked so stylish that if someone said it was Orange Equipment, he would believe it. He could almost hear a whisper by his ear coming from the gun:

"Want to show off? Then why not pick me right away?"

Unlike Bai Xiaomo, who chose impulsively, Ju Xiaobei was more inclined towards practicality and value retention.

Among the fifth-grade purple equipment, Ju Xiaobei finally set his sights on a three-foot longsword with a light blue hilt and a mysterious black body, with subtle black water patterns moving on the blade, named Xuan Water.

In player groups, the most expensive equipment was weapons, and the priciest among weapons were swords.

Because they look cool!

So, this Xuan Water, with terrifyingly high attack stats, could not only increase his strength for a while but also could be sold for a good price later!

Wu Yangshuo didn’t care how they made their choices; he just had his subordinates deliver what they picked.

"Ding! Task [Investigation of Devouring Spirit Sect Movements Within the City] completed."

Bai Xiaomo and Ju Xiaobei could barely contain their excitement as they received the weapons; these two pieces of equipment must be the only two pieces of purple equipment in the game, right? Of course, they didn’t rule out European dogs getting purple equipment directly from some hidden task.

"Ugh!" Wu Yangshuo was a bit scandalized by the two’s unprofessional handling and their patchy, mismatched clothes.

"If you two have nothing else, then hurry up and leave!"

"Thank you, Commander Wu!"

Bai Xiaomo and the other person casually paid their respects and then turned to leave, holding weapons they couldn’t yet equip due to their level.

If they didn’t go show off now, when would they?

The first thing they did upon getting their weapons was to screenshot and post them to the forum. The cool appearance and at least a higher attack power than the player’s life value immediately caused a sensation!
