Chapter 60: Gu Lan Tian

North, Northern Desert, Iron Crow City.

As the sun slowly sets, there was a hint of coolness in the city air.

The Gu martial arts training ground was currently the most lively place in the whole manor, dozens of young Gu clan youths were doing their respective exercises.

The young girl standing at the center of the Field was about 15-16 years old in appearance.

A plum blossom umbrella was held on one hand and a thin sword with white wood hilt flash vigorously in her hand, and the sword vibrated loudly while making a strange hissing noise in the air.

It caused a slight disorientation in the minds of those at a lower level in the field. This was a skill Gu Lin Fang chose to neglect in the [Golden snake sword] as it was rather useless to most Nascent soul experts.

Her True Qi was able to flow freely due to the [plum Blossom umbrella's] stats of add 15% improvement to Qi flow.

That was what made Gu Lin Fang envious before, but it was not in line with his pictured villain and neither was it going to boost his strength by much at that time.

"wow, what swordsmanship is this? it's like a dragon sailing against the current. If you can't advance, there's always a retreat!".

"Blind fool, how's that a dragon, it's more like a snake...!"

"F*ck it, what did I just see?! Was that her...her...!"

"No way! My goddess!"

"What are you talking about, do you want to die?, Didn't you see her old man's temperament, he will destroy you!"

"Ssh! Don't disturb the lady"

"Fools, In this type of virtual reality games, when you don't want an npc to hear you, you must switch to the local clan chat. You are now talking on a public speech channel, and the npc naturally can hear you, haha."

"I've become a fan! The number one Vrmmorpg really deserves its reputation!"

All over the training ground, there were a lot of Gu players.

A few players had just logged after a break, they used the chance to compare the in game time and real world time, so right now they hadn't figured out the situation.

Apparently when they log off, their body seems to still be active, performing any available tasks, like sweeping or loading up goods.

You won't earn exp but if you're lucky you could earn either money or some miscellaneous items.

Gu Lin Ju continued her practice with a dead pan expression, her [Golden snake sword] continued to flicker as she tried to conjure up some vague snake figures, more players were coming one after another after getting news from the clan chat page.

"This kind of novice village is exquisite and has a nice view, her sword practice is much more appealing than the promotional video!...so lucky to be VIP, hahaha!"

Some Gu players admired Gu Lin Ju from a distance, a few were trying their best to be as quiet as possible. After all, just 30 minutes ago, the teenage girl had beat up a few players mercilessly with the umbrella before sending them to someone for treatment.

She broke a lot of their bones in anger, as one guy called her his future wife. Unfortunately they didn't warn the new arrivals.

Presently, most players were now able to get to the second level of the Qi gathering realm and even had some spare exp to learn a skill or two.

Some lucky ones like Gao Gao who were able to get to the top ten in the open brawl task got enough Exp to get to the third Level of the Qi gathering realm, some unlucky ones chose to level up combat techniques with all their exp but now lacked the Qi to use them.

This made the search for quest increase.

But they soon found out that, the quality of the npc also decides the quality of the exp.

According to some player who already started analysis, they noticed that, If a white npc gave a simple task of sweeping the floor, with the reward of 100 exp...

A blue grade Npc could giving you the same task might fetch you 500, but this high end Npc's are usually tough to please. Most didn't have anything they were lacking...

This hasn't stopped the players from trying though.

Two minutes later, Gu Lin Ju opened her eyes and glared in a particular direction. Soon two people carried in a bleeding Gu Qin Feng with a stretcher!.

'What happened?' She was surprised as she wondered who would dare touch her clansmen right now, "hey you!".

She pointed at a random player and said, "go and find out what happened for me!".

This made others look at him with jealousy, the player ran off while shouting, "at once, young miss!".

A little bit later, Gu Qin Feng laid on his bed with a dazed expression as he took a look at the herbal hall, the smell of incense gave him a calm mind buff inexplicably.

His wounds were all bandaged and he could perceive the strong smell of medicine oozing out of his body.

Excited by his survival, he clicked on his full character interface in the clan page, not the brief summary.

[Introduction: The Gu clan's have been declining for the passed forty years as they struggled to hang afloat.

Due to the deep feud between the Gu clan and the Lu family, many were lost over the years, hurting the vitality of the clan.

Recently due to the interference of the Wudang sect and Wu family, the clan was almost annihilated.

Now they have chosen to rebuild again, they are facing suppression from all sides, forcing the Patriarch to take the whole clan down the demonic way.

He found a way to awaken the Clan's ancestral bloodline and has vowed to no longer be a stepping stone for anyone, rather he shall place others under his feet.

As the descendant of this clan, how would you choose? Whatever choice you make, it's all up to you.]

Gu Qin Feng glanced at his gameplay introduction and began thinking silently.

As a hardcore veteran player with nearly 20 years of gaming experience, he understands that there were a lot of opportunities when starting from a clan and not a rogue player.

He was never one to believe in such a vague thing as luck, especially with his experience during beta.

So the idea of belonging to a clan from the very start is great boost to his plans. Just looking at the amount of experience points he has gathered from doing two missions for the Patriarch...

"I'll definitely hug this thigh, luckily I am the only one who made it back alive..."

He glanced at the clan chat, that only works within any of the Clan's property. After looking casually, he noticed some movement at the entrance.

"Gu Qin Feng greets Lord Patriarch!"

"Gu Lan Tian greets Lord Patriarch?"

"Mmm" Gu Lin Fang first glanced at the herbal hall carefully before looking at the Gu clan's present physician that just came out from the side room.

[ Gu Lan Tian:

"Oh?, An asset"
