I Can Reap Qi Fortune from Players-Chapter 578 - 67: Meiling Fish

A few blacksmiths on Forging Peak were using telescopes to observe the city below.

"It really seems so, his demeanor is so ostentatious, like a peacock flaunting its plumage."

"We've seen Three Elements Realm cultivators before, they are usually like the City Lords of Kissing Fish City... not so flamboyant, always cautious, preferring to disguise and blend into the common folk."

"How about we pull him into this role and treat him to a Ginseng Fruit?"

"I suspect he's just a Dharma Aspect."

"So how do we lure his true form?"

In order to "log on" as an advanced character, they even went on forums for strategies, speculation, and research.

They also consulted many folks and factions from various forces to gather information.

When it comes to Two-Phase Realm cultivators from the Sea Race, they've already understood quite a bit.

The Dharma Aspect of the masters in Two-Phase Realm generally wouldn't hide their identity.

Dressed extravagantly, their manners elegant, they style themselves as refined scholars, quite ostentatiously.

According to the blacksmiths' speculation:

The more one lacks something, the more they want to flaunt it.

High-tier Sea Race cultivators all like to dress as scholars, emulating the sophistication of the Human Race... to avoid being seen as primitive and backward country bumpkins.

And when they dress ostentatiously, ordinary folks really can't do anything about it.

The highest combat power active outside in this world is basically the Two-Phase Realm.

One Heart Realm is the sect leader level of the various Holy Land factions, why would they act personally?

Self-Transformation Realm?

Even in a dynasty era, only a few would appear, all being reclusive elders sitting deep within their families.

Their young talents in high-level circles like to mimic the styles, dressing, and lack a serious sense of national pride.

Kids from high-tier families often go "abroad" for studies, like Jiao Wuyu from the Jiao Race, who once studied at Xinyi Academy and met outstanding Human Race talents Xu Huan, Li Youzhu, Jian Xin...

Even now.

Many from the Sea Race also often study abroad at our Continent City, Xirong Academy.

They harbor complex feelings of admiration, contempt, and esteem towards the Human Race.

Moreover, many instantly transform into traitors after studying, considering the air of the Human Race sweet and deeming the Sea Race backward and barbaric...

Preferring to be a mount for a Human Race Great Power and cry rather than return to inherit the family business and laugh in the primitive city of the Sea Race...

I'm talking about you!

Xi Rong.

Nowadays, many young talents from the Sea Race are studying at the academies of the Human Race, all competing to be a mount for Xi Rong.

It's heard that some Sea Race students, due to idolizing this first Sage of the Human Race, have become instructors at Xirong Academy, crazily licking the Sword Fairy, refusing to return.

"How malicious! Human Race Sword Fairy, bewitched demon hearts, we've lost count of how many Sea Race talents studying abroad have been duped over the past century!"

Just the thought makes one blacksmith furious.

Another person showed sorrow, lamenting their lack of progress: "Alas, those guys studying abroad don't return to apply advanced knowledge to the benefit of their homeland, they are the scum of the Sea Race."

"Exactly, crazily licking Human Race Xi Rong, where does this leave our Sea Race dignity?"

Someone grew even angrier, their face reddened, embodying a patriotic student, fists clenched tight, nails digging into the flesh, wishing to turn into a scholar parading for everyone's viewing, calling upon national pride.

"Damn it! The detestable Human Race! It's all because of that handsome, mighty, and impressive Xirong Divine Craftsman!" Someone exclaimed in fury.

...

A group of blacksmiths couldn't help but curse vehemently.

With things like this, when will our Sea Race rise? Instead of relying on those traitorous talents studying abroad, we might as well rely on our local Sea Race natives to transform this chaotic Sea Race land, stabilize the troubled times, and create a new future.

Someone pointed at that Dharma Aspect cultivator: "At a glance, you can tell they are traitorous admirers, crazily licking the Human Race, deserving execution!"

"Let a few blacksmiths approach them?"

"Worth a shot, find out personality, interests... build a character model, set traps, bait the true form over."

"That works."

"Wait, what if the other party is a good fish?"

"There aren't that many good fish, if there are good ones... we won't possess them."

"You're lying, your deceitful eyes have already betrayed you."

"Everyone, this is a snowball tactic, once you secure the first one... the rest, just trick their relatives and friends over, it just grows bigger and bigger."

"Hm, like the Kissing Fish Queen, tricking friends to come."

...

The Kissing Fish Queen is just an example to relax outsiders' vigilance.

The blacksmiths wouldn't resort to possessing the Middle Grade Three Flowers families, the Upper Grade Two-Phase families are worth their effort.

At this time, the blacksmiths are ready to take action, they have always been swift and a touch of bravado gets the job done.

"We'll do it like this... and then like this, yes, incidentally arrange a detective script, this ostentatious fellow holding a folding fan, clearly flaunting his intellect..."

"Let him solve the case, and we seize the opportunity to connect with him..."

They planned to create a traditional secret murder case. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

...

"They're really lively."

At the Sword Casting Manor, in the courtyard, sitting with Ning Jiaojiao and Su Yuniang, Ning Zheng sighed.

"They chose their target so quickly."

"Well, it makes sense. The entire birth of the Bone Demon Sect was to establish a Sea Race card pool, to draw characters... literally fishing."

"Now, the fish have appeared."

The blacksmiths were already seasoned ones, and Ning Zheng didn't want to interfere too much in their matters. They might seem reckless, but in reality, many strategies were formulated after numerous deliberations.

You want to talk about combat power?

They truly don't have it.

But if it's about the sense of ritual and planning... they have a whole basket full.

Ning Zheng just took a glance at the white-clothed scholar the blacksmiths were eyeing, holding a folding fan, looking rather flamboyant.

One look and you can tell it's a Dharma Aspect of a Two-Phase Realm expert.

"This scent..." Ning Zheng, sensitive to souls, felt it was the scent of some Demon Race.

Too bad his knowledge was limited.

If he were more knowledgeable, he could recognize what kind of fish it was.

For the appearance of the first Two-Phase Realm cultivator, Ning Zheng was still very concerned.

Although these players have always been reliable, their plans meticulous, after analyzing countless potential responses, it doesn't mean they can truly handle this matter.

It's like snatching chestnuts from the fire.

They can only do their best and leave the rest to fate.

And when it comes to the "leave it to fate" phase, he could cover for them.

"I'm really too good to these little blacksmiths."

Being the manager of the Sword Casting Manor, he had to pave the way for them, not just watch them struggle.

"But, it's obvious that this isn't a good fish."

"This ocean is really rotten."

Ning Zheng's expression was calm, looking down at the Two-Phase Realm cultivator in that district.

"Is this fish really bad?" Beside him, Ning Jiaojiao was eating the pickled stinky fish she learned to make, looking innocent, "I think it's okay."

"Brother and sister are both dead, only I'm half-dead... can they really taste this even when dead?"

She stuffed another piece of fish, her cheeks puffed like a little hamster.

"Alas, but I have to accommodate these embers."

"Now we're back to the Sea Race, mother's homeland. I have to awaken quickly, then lead them to rise, let everyone be reborn together."

.....

"Out of my way, you lowlife."

A white-clad scholar shouted on the street.

"Yes, yes, my lord." Several civilians quickly retreated, repeatedly apologizing.

The scholar raised an eyebrow, pointing at a few wealthy young ladies fooling around in the distance, "Come here, I'm tired from walking, come carry my sedan chair."

Those few young ladies trembled all over, scared and retreated repeatedly.

"I said, come here." The scholar put on a pitiable, weak look.

Those young ladies trembled again, their hearts like they were struck by an arrow, unable to control their affection, inexplicably "obeyed" and walked over, eyes full of stars, faces full of admiration saying:

"Yes, my lord!"

"My lord, I've fallen in love with you at first sight!"

"No one can refuse us... because we are the most beautiful race in the world." The scholar waved the folding fan, took out a sedan chair from the storage ring, then had the young ladies bend down, stepping onto their backs, sitting up on the sedan chair.

In the shadows.

A few blacksmiths discussed quietly.

"Damn! Exposed right away, it should be... Meiling Fish, right?"

"Probably, a family with Upper Grade Spiritual Roots, their family divine technique is: [No Refusal], no one can refuse their requests."

"Known as the world's most beautiful mermaid race, no one can resist their beauty, and no one can resist their pitiful pleas either."

"The Charm Demon Sect on the Human Race's side is said to be based on their race, with their fish blood cultivating spirit plants, establishing Postnatal Spiritual Roots."

...

The divine techniques of the Demon Race are easy to see through and target.

Because history is too long, who doesn't know what your family's old secrets are?

For this vanity-proud race, a few blacksmiths immediately began sneaky discussions for countermeasures.

Why do players play the game?

Because what they love most is the sense of accomplishment from formulating strategies step by step and tackling bosses.
