Zhang Wuji stared at the candied hawthorn in Lu Xuan’s hand, then looked at Lu Xuan, and he couldn’t help but cry.

At that moment, the game sprite’s voice sounded in Lu Xuan’s mind.

[Game Notification: Zhang Wuji has +80 favorability towards Player Lu Xuan, entering [Friend] phase.]

Lu Xuan was slightly stunned as he was just giving it a try. Who knew that the candied hawthorn would be so amazing!

It resulted in +80 favorability from Zhang Wuji!

Lu Xuan was secretly overjoyed. I am indeed a transmigrator. A candied hawthorn is enough for Zhang Wuji to treat me as a friend.

However, in the end, Lu Xuan felt a pinch. Because he had sold the Novice Wooden Sword to the system, in order to obtain the money to purchase the candied hawthorns.

Having lost the Novice Wooden Sword, leveling up in the future would probably be very troublesome.

However, for the +80 favorability from Zhang Wuji. Even if Lu Xuan sold everything, it would be worth it!

After all, ‘you lose something, you gain something’. Furthermore, he was a player with VIP privilege, was there a need to worry about future equipment?

Zhang Wuji stared at Lu Xuan with tears brimming in his eyes. Since he returned to the Central Continent from Ice Fire Island, he was severely injured by the Mystic Underworld Twin Elders, his mother and father had been forced to commit suicide by the six sects. Due to Grandmaster’s doting love for Zhang Wuji, he was constantly bullied by Song Qingshu. Zhang Wuji’s life in the Wudang Sect was truly miserable.

Now that Lu Xuan was by Zhang Wuji’s side with a face full of sincerity and kindness, while at the same time, Lu Xuan words and actions revealed concern for Zhang Wuji. Therefore, his favorability for Lu Xuan soared.

Lu Xuan and Zhang Wuji were walking side by side on the street, eating candied hawthorns and chatting happily. The Well-Known Young Master was watching their actions with a terrifying and cold gaze.

“Damn dog, this young master took on the pressure from everyone to side with him. What I get in return is negative favorability from him instead. That person simply bought a skewer of candied hawthorn for Zhang Wuji, and the two of them are putting their arms around each other’s shoulders?”

How could the Well-Known Young Master be willing to accept this? He was from one of China’s four major families, the young master of the Wenren Family! He was revered by thousands of people on a daily basis and no matter where he went, everyone was respectful to him. His words meant everything and he had never encountered any obstacle before.

“Young Master, I think Zhang Wuji isn’t simple, and he’s extremely strange. Perhaps there might be some hidden secret.” There was a man standing beside the Well-Known Young Master and he looked like he was from the military.

“Young Master, why don’t we arrange some men to watch over that kid? Once he makes a move, we can also…” A man with muscles all over spoke with a ferocious expression, while making a gesture to slit the throat.

“Sure, go ahead and make the arrangements. I only care about the results!”

The Well-Known Young Master glared viciously at Lu Xuan before striding out of this place. He had to level up quickly and not waste too much time on this matter.

While Lu Xuan and Zhang Wuji chatted and laughed, Lu Xuan didn’t notice the Well-Known Young Master’s expression.

Even if Lu Xuan saw it, he wouldn’t panic because of it. They were in Divine Legends and had the same starting point. Who cared about real identities?

He chatted with Zhang Wuji for a long time and finished off the candied hawthorn until only the skewer was left. Suddenly, he noticed that within his attribute page, there seemed to be a new status—[Destined One’s Friendship]

[Destined One’s Friendship]: All attributes +500%, EXP +500%, Duration: 24 hours.

[Game Notification: Conditions met for exclusive buff ‘Destined One’s Friendship’ in expansion . It can only be activated once.]

After discovering that a special attribute was obtained, Lu Xuan was stunned and couldn’t react for a moment.

All attributes +500%?

EXP +500%?

My goodness, the benefits obtained from the Destined One, Zhang Wuji, are brilliant!

At the same time, Lu Xuan recalled that he had the privilege of VIP 1, [10x EXP!]

With the addition of the exclusive buff, Lu Xuan could obtain 50x EXP!

What the heck, this is really unacceptably brilliant!

“50x EXP… if I don’t go and kill the monsters for an entire day, it would be a waste.”

After Lu Xuan calmed down the joy in his heart, he separated from Zhang Wuji. He told Zhang Wuji that he was preparing to head to the back of Mount Wudang to kill ferocious beasts to train and calm his mind.

When Zhang Wuji heard that, he took out the sharp dagger from his belongings without any hesitation and gave it to Lu Xuan.

“Brother Lu Xuan, you don’t even have a weapon. It will be disastrous if you head to the back mountain alone. If you don’t mind, take my Heavenly Eagle Dagger to protect yourself, it will be better…”

Lu Xuan nodded and picked up the dagger without hesitation.

He lowered his eyes slightly and sized up the dagger in his hand. There was an indescribable excitement that almost made him lose control of his emotions

[Heavenly Eagle Dagger: Heavenly Eagle Cult’s Saint Lady, Yin Susu’s dagger. Equipment grade—Silver]

Oh heavens!

Indeed, you can’t bear to forsake this one!

Divine Legends’ game world sorted the equipment to seven grades—Novice, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, and Divine.

The Heavenly Eagle Dagger that Zhang Wuji gave him was silver-grade equipment! Its power was far beyond that of the Novice Wooden Sword.

After giving away the Novice Wooden Sword obtained when he logged in, he received the [Destined One’s Friendship], [Heavenly Eagle Dagger] and +80 favorability from Zhang Wuji. Lu Xuan felt that this transaction was really worth it.

“Brother Wuji, thank you so much.”

After parting with Zhang Wuji, Lu Xuan brought the newly obtained [Heavenly Eagle Dagger] and headed straight for the back mountain.

The back of Mount Wudang was also considered a place protected by the beginner village. It was basically a place for players who had just joined Wudang Sect to kill monsters and level up.

The vegetation at the back of the mountain was sparse, and there were basically all kinds of monsters and bandits. At this time, many players were contesting with each other to kill monsters, accumulating EXP in order to break through their realms, and increasing the fundamental arts’ proficiency.

“Damn, is this a monster or a boss? Why can’t I even kill a Level 1 wild boar?”

“It’s killing me. I’ve been working diligently all morning, but I’ve only raised my realm to 1.8% and my Fundamental Leg Art to 1%.”

“This game is so difficult to level up and yet it has no effect. Are you trying to dissuade us from playing?”

Many players started ranting about their dissatisfaction while Lu Xuan sighed helplessly. To be fair, Divine Legends was too realistic. Therefore, breaking through was harder than ascending to heaven. It was just like cultivating martial arts, where one had to advance slowly.

However, the monsters they killed were only Level 1, so the EXP they received was definitely low.

Moreover, had only started recently and there were countless players participating. No matter where they went, there were more people than monsters. Under such circumstances, breaking through and gaining experience would be much slower.

The monsters in Divine Legends were divided into nine levels. From one to nine, one was the basic level, and nine was the advanced level.

The higher the level, the harder it was to kill, as such, more EXP would be gained.

Lu Xuan took a glance and did not stop at this place. He had the blessing of the [Destined One’s Friendship] and was equipped with the silver-grade equipment, Heavenly Eagle Dagger.. Wasn’t it just a waste of time to kill Level 1 monsters?
