Chapter 3 - Full Charm and Approached by Senior Sister
Chapter 3: Full Charm and Approached by Senior Sister
“I can’t believe I’ve caught the attention of ‘Primordial’…,” Gu Liuyun mused, his gaze uncertain whether this was a positive or negative development.
“Primordial” had already been replaced by the “Unknown Existence,” their stance toward humanity remained an enigma.
After a moment of reflection, Gu Liuyun shook his head. He now realized that in the eyes of “Primordial,” he was as inconsequential as an ant. Regardless of how much he contemplated the situation, it wouldn’t change the reality. His immediate priority was survival in the clutches of the future god-tier boss before he could delve into the ultimate truth.
With this realization in mind, Gu Liuyun turned his attention to the unique talent he had acquired. However, when he examined it, he was utterly astonished.
[Heavenly Tribulation Body: Unique Supreme Talent!].
[Explanation: Peerless divine body, envied by heaven, born through tribulations, defying fate!].
[Effect of Peerless Divine Body: Innate physique, spiritual aptitude, and comprehension fully maxed, charm maxed!].
[Effect of Envied by Heaven: Every time your cultivation realm advances, it will attract a Heavenly Tribulation. Failure to overcome the tribulation will result in soul dispersal!].
[Effect of Born through Tribulations: Successfully overcoming the tribulation will double the attributes of the current realm!].
[Effect of Defying Fate: Every successful tribulation overcome will grant a random additional talent!].
“Wow…”
Gu Liuyun gasped in amazement, finding this unparalleled talent incredibly extraordinary.
“Having such a gift, if I can’t become the most powerful in this lifetime, it would be downright ridiculous…”
[Talent matching completed, about to enter the game!].
[Ding! Due to your fully maxed innate attributes, you have obtained the title Heaven’s Gifted Genius! Effect: There is a chance to receive expert guidance when worn!].
[Ding! Due to your fully maxed charm, you have obtained the title Enchanting Beauty! Effect: There is a chance to be approached by the opposite sex when worn!].
As the notification sound chimed, Gu Liuyun found himself surrounded by instant darkness before he could react. When the area brightened again, he realized he was standing in front of an impressive plaza in front of a grand hall.
The plaque on the hall read: “Divine Palace Branch Hall • Nine,” and countless players were bustling around, running and shouting.
“The Divine Blessing Guild is recruiting experts and pros, with plenty of benefits and great treatment!” Echoed throughout the area.
“Wow! This game is incredibly realistic. I can even feel the wind blowing through my hair.”
“Is there a big brother willing to level up with me? Little sister is beautiful and sweet~.”
“Team up, team up! Anyone up for playing the game together?”
Observing the lively players, Gu Liuyun couldn’t help but smile.
In “Nine Realms,” every player, upon entering the game, would randomly appear in a branch hall according to their chosen sect. The first task for players was to find the branch hall’s elder, register as a novice disciple, and then undertake beginner quests.
Gu Liuyun looked around and immediately spotted an elderly man with an aura of wisdom and white hair standing on the steps to the right of the Divine Palace hall, surrounded by layers of players. Knowing there weren’t many early opportunities in this area, he didn’t rush to join the crowd. Instead, he walked to a secluded corner and opened his attribute panel.
[Name: Gu Liuyun].
[Talent: Heavenly Tribulation Body (Unique Supreme)].
[Title 1: Heaven’s Gifted Genius].
[Title 2: Enchanting Beauty].
[Cultivation: None].
[Sect: None].
[Reputation: None].
[Physical Strength: 1000/1000](Root Bone x10)
[Spiritual Power: 1000/1000](Spirit Aptitude x10)
[Mental Power: 1000/1000](Comprehension x10)
[Root Bone: Innate 100, Acquired 0].
[Spirit Aptitude: Innate 100, Acquired 0].
[Comprehension: Innate 100, Acquired 0].
[Charm: 100].
[Fortune: Great Fortune].
Looking at his attribute list, Gu Liuyun felt extremely content.
In “Nine Realms,” the three attributes were divided into innate and acquired categories. Innate attributes represented the initial values, while acquired attributes included those added through techniques, elixirs, spiritual weapons, and magical treasures. The initial innate attributes were of utmost importance and difficult to improve, usually requiring rare treasures or unique opportunities.
Many high-level techniques and precious opportunities had specific requirements for innate attributes. For instance, the supreme Buddhist skill, “Buddha’s Divine Palm,” required an innate Comprehension of 99 to practice. Gu Liuyun solved this issue with the [Supreme Divine Body].
His maxed-out charm and great fortune left him excited. In “Nine Realms,” luck and charm played crucial roles in obtaining opportunities. Luck was categorized as lower, flat, promising, or great auspicious. Most players had flat luck, a few had auspicious luck, and only a select few were blessed with great luck.
Charm, on the other hand, was often influenced by a player’s appearance. Most players had charm ratings around 50-60, while those with exceptional looks might have ratings of 70-80. Reaching a rating of 90 was exceedingly rare.
Gu Liuyun’s charm was already high at 85, but with the [Supreme Divine Body]’s influence, it had inexplicably reached the maximum value of 100. With these exceptional attributes and knowledge of certain tricks, Gu Liuyun believed that opportunities would readily come to him.
He smiled satisfactorily and whispered, “With attributes like these, along with the tricks I know, opportunities will be within my grasp.”
He then planned to close the attribute panel, locate the elder on duty, and begin his search for the hidden sword cultivation opportunity once he reached the Fortune Refining Initial Stage.
(Cultivation Realms: 1st Stage Fortune Refining, 2nd Stage Body Tempering, 3rd Stage Crystallization, 4th Stage Foundation Building, 5th Stage Divine Mansion, 6th Stage Soul Nurturing, 7th Stage Nascent Soul, 8th Stage Dao Awakening, 9th Stage Heavenly Tribulation/God Tier, 10th Stage Grand Dao/Super God Tier. Each realm has early, middle, and late stages.)
However, as he closed the panel, a cold voice immediately reached his ears.
“Junior brother, why are you lingering here instead of registering with the elder? Is there something you don’t understand?”
Gu Liuyun turned in surprise and saw a woman with an otherworldly beauty, tall and graceful in stature, dressed in the attire of an inner disciple of the Divine Palace, looking at him.
Is this… the effect of my title? Did the senior sister approach me because of it?
