Chapter 26 Tianxing Forum
Chapter 26 Tianxing Forum
A moment later, Lu Chaoding started attacking the Lion's Den with his head down.
This dungeon is restricted to players level 3 and above. Compared to the tutorial dungeon, it has two more groups of monsters, and the attributes of the Bloodstained Lion Dog have been significantly improved.
However, as Zhao Weike and the others said, this instance no longer has any instance quests or extra rewards for clearing it. After entering, killing monsters is just about farming some cultivation points, materials, and gold. For Lu Chaoding, this instance is really boring.
However, farming this dungeon is still better than playing in the wild.
Lu Chaoding's hard-working nature was on full display once again. He farmed the dungeon more than thirty times in a row, going from LV1 to LV4, before finally stopping when he could no longer enter the cave.
It was not far from dark, so Lu Chaoding returned to the temporary camp.
Niu Daren's supply shop refreshes its inventory every night at 18 PM, and Lu Chaoding also wanted to see if he could find anything worth buying.
At the temporary camp, Zhao Weike and the others had already returned. They sat around the campfire, chatting and laughing, seemingly in a very good mood.
Lu Chaoding approached and discovered that they were talking about the cliff-jumping mission.
"Brother Ding, you must have jumped off Lion Cliff! Could you share some tips on how to jump off a cliff? Besides the mischievous clam shell, are there any other items that increase your chances of surviving a cliff jump?"
"Yeah, Ding-ge, show us your amazing treasures!"
"You bunch of idiots! I already told you, there's no treasure in the Linlang Cave, just compressed biscuits!"
These words were spoken by Zhang Defa, who still harbored great resentment towards that compressed biscuit.
Lu Chao, expressionless, said, "Life is short, so don't think about taking shortcuts. The right path is to farm and level up steadily!"
As darkness began to fall, the system announced the arrival of night. A golden light flashed around Niu Daren by the campfire, and he stood up, shouting, "I've brought some supplies! Fellow junior brothers and sisters, see if you need anything!"
The items in the supply shop have been refreshed!
Lu Chao stepped forward, looked at the product list, and then shook his head in disappointment.
Niu Daren sells steamed buns, spring water, tea eggs, and other items. His most valuable item is the skill book for the universal skill "Horizontal Slash." This "Horizontal Slash" is an area-of-effect attack skill, and Lu Chaoding has already sold five of these skill books, so he certainly won't buy any more from Niu Daren.
"The Horizontal Slash skill book is selling for 200 yuan with Niu Daren!"
"Brother Ding is really reliable; he sold it to us for half price!"
"Brother Ding is generous, but Niu Daren is a heartless businessman!"
Zhao Weike and the others looked at the product list and exclaimed in admiration, discussing it endlessly.
Suddenly, Niu Daren spoke again: "Fellow disciples, this is your second night at Boiling Blood Lion Mountain. The night is long. If you can't sleep, you can browse the Tianxing Forum!"
"Ding! Forum features unlocked, including recording, video recording, and screenshots. Players can access the forum panel at any time; please explore it on your own!"
As the system upgraded, a semi-transparent window popped up in front of Lu Chao, which was the Tianxing Forum window.
The forum is now completely empty, with not a single post.
Lu Chao immediately received another system notification: "Ding, receive the task [Post a Discussion]. The task requires you to post a high-quality discussion on the Tianxing Forum and obtain 100 likes. The reward for completing the task is +1 lottery ticket and +10 gold coins!"
"Ding! The Occasionally Unreliable System has activated, updating the tracking task with altered content: Post a low-quality discussion on the Tianxing Forum and receive 10000 criticisms. Task reward: 100 Unreliable Lottery Tickets and 100 Gold Coins!"
"Low-quality discussion? 10000 criticisms? This task is a bit difficult, but the reward is pretty good, a hundredfold increase!"
Lu Chaoding immediately realized that "throwing bricks" meant "criticizing," and that if he wanted to complete this task, he would probably have to post something that would both get high traffic and disgust people.
After glancing at Zhao Weike, who was taking the blame next to him, Lu Chaoding immediately had an idea and started posting.
"Ding, please set your forum nickname first!"
"Zhao's skirt!"
"Ding! Your nickname has been approved! Please set a discussion title!"
"The ultimate secret technique for jumping off Lion Cliff, 100% effective, easily seize your opportunity!"
"Title approved, please post your discussion content!"
Lu Chaoding casually typed: "I believe everyone knows that there's a cliff-jumping quest at Lion Cliff. I have an ultimate secret technique here, guaranteeing easy entry into the secret realm and safe acquisition of the opportunity... The secret technique is to jump off the cliff at night, while removing all equipment. This will guarantee entry into the Linlang Cave. Zhao Qunzi's exclusive strategy. If it works, please like it; if it doesn't, come and hit me!"
After typing a short paragraph, Lu Chaoding immediately clicked "publish," then closed the Tianxing Forum and strode out of the camp.
Although Niu Daren did not issue the "spend the night at the foot of Lion Mountain" mission tonight, Lu Chaoding will not stay at this campsite to sleep either.
"Hey bro, wanna go hunt some night beasts? Can I come along?"
"Brother Ding, if you walk by the river often enough, you'll get your shoes wet eventually. Watch out for nocturnal beasts!"
"Brother Ding, I hope you run into a boss you can't beat!"
Zhao Weike and the others called out to Lu Chaoding's retreating figure.
Suddenly, Zhang Defa shouted, "Zhao Qunzi, why are you still scamming people on the forum?"
"What?" Zhao Weike said unhappily, "I'm warning you, don't call me Zhao Skirt anymore. I'm dressed as Marshal Pig now, you can call me Marshal Zhao!"
"Oh, Zhao Qunzi really posted it. Tsk tsk, isn't this just setting people up?"
"Zhao, you're so vicious!"
"Heh, you think you can get likes with this?"
"I'll hit him with a brick first!"
Xiao Ning, Wang Yingluo, and others also started discussing it.
Zhao Weike quickly realized what had happened. He opened the Tianxing Forum, where there were already seven or eight discussion posts. Zhao Weike immediately spotted the post titled "The Ultimate Secret Technique for Jumping Off Lion Cliff," posted by "Zhao Skirt"!
"Who the hell is impersonating me?"
Zhao Weike clicked on the post and saw that there were already replies below.
"Zhao's Skirt Alternate Account: The content is true and valid, everyone can jump off the cliff without worry!"
"Zhao's Skirt Mini Account: Hurry up and like it!"
"Zhao Qunzi herself: I'm really not trying to get likes!"
"Zhao Qunzi's clone: I swear on Zhao Qunzi's chastity, jumping off a cliff at nightfall is a definite guarantee, otherwise may Zhao Qunzi only ever draw white light in the lottery for the rest of her life..."
Zhao Weike's blood pressure spiked after reading this.
He looked up at the serious-looking players from his village around him and roared, "You guys did this, didn't you? Are you trying to ruin my reputation?"
"Aren't you Marshal Zhao?"
"You're Marshal Zhao, what's your relationship with Zhao Qunzi?"
"Didn't you post this yourself, trying to get likes?"
"Hehe, not a single like, but ten bricks have been thrown at me..."
Zhang Jiaqiang, Zhang Defa, and the others were all having a good time.
Zhao Weike felt annoyed, so he quickly registered an account with the nickname "Riding Sword Immortal" and then replied to the post.
"Swordsman: This post is just trying to get likes, don't like it, just throw a brick at it!"
"Sword Immortal: Also, all of Zhao's skirts mentioned above are fake..."
"Zhao Qunzi herself: Are you Ding Geyao?"
"Zhao Skirt Alt Account: Sword Immortal, stop messing around, everyone believe me, jumping off a cliff naked in the dark really works, those who have jumped know..."
"The Number One Swordsman of the Sky: What the hell are you all?"
"Professional Swordsman: Really? I'll give it a try!"
"A single shot from 800 miles away: @Professional Sword Demon, the person upstairs, come back and say something after you've finished jumping. I'm waiting for your result."
"Cosmic Sword God: Same result, but I'll start with a brick!"
"Atomic Sword Saint: Fake! Case closed! One brick!"
"Leziren Huagangan: Thanks to Zhao Qunzi, jumping off a cliff naked in the dark really works! I tried it, everyone give it a thumbs up!"
Ye Longxing: I can't believe someone else knows this method!
"Grand Elder of the Great Sword Sect: @Ye Longxing, you wretched child, how dare you spam the forum!"
Famous actor Niu Daren: Oh dear, that nickname is too conservative...
As the replies increased, the post became increasingly popular, drawing both criticism and praise.
Lu Chaoding was completely unaware of this. He had already arrived at Lion Cliff and rode his flying sword directly down to the bottom of the cliff.
This is also jumping off a cliff!
"Ding! Congratulations on completing the [Cliff Jump] quest. You have survived a close call and are now fortunate enough to enter the secret realm of opportunity, [Linlang Cave]."
"Ding! You can accept one more cliff-jumping mission..."
