I Can Reap Qi Fortune from Players-Chapter 566 - 55: Welcoming NPCs (Part 2)

"That’s natural," said the City Lord of Kissing Fish.

Soon, they also arranged for their clan members in Shell City to enter the city.

There turned out to be just over five thousand cultivators, and all were above the Four Viscera Realm.

Evidently, during the initial outbreak, it was the Five-Body Realm cultivators and untrained common fish that got infected.

The Four Viscera Realm is safe.

So they only took all the Four Viscera Realm elites from the city and fled!

Under the stunned gaze of the Kissing Fish Race, a few young blacksmiths wandered around with "Pseudo-human Hippocampus" on a dog leash before realizing what was happening.

"My lord, your method of identifying pseudo-humans is truly unique."

"If only we knew it was so convenient, that we could tame those cowardly pseudo-humans, we wouldn’t have bought that magical artifact."

"Damn Elder Gui, he’s really greedy!"

...

Jiucai Rong chuckled inwardly, thinking:

No problem, we’ve already avenged Elder Gui’s extortion for you.

However, the 2 million magic coins you gave to honor Elder Gui will serve as our reward for avenging you, so we won’t extract it from his remaining storage bag to return it to you.

After a check, everyone entered the city.

"May I ask, your seniors in the Two-Phase Realm are..." The City Lord of Kissing Fish put away the shell magical artifact and said directly.

"Currently in seclusion, consolidating the recent breakthrough in cultivation."

Jiucai Rong spoke without hesitation: "This Bone Demon Elder of ours had practiced in the Nine-State of Human Race in his early years, broke through recently, and only returned to our race a few days ago."

"I see."

The City Lord of Kissing Fish suddenly understood.

Low-tier cultivators without inheritance would try to go to the Nine-State of Human Race.

Because the Sea Race side is too isolated, the monopoly is too severe!

The Human Race side offers a lower threshold to obtain knowledge for breaking through to the Two-Phase Realm.

If Human Race cultivators have the opportunity, they have the probability to break through to the Two-Phase Realm.

However.

The Human Race side is also difficult to provoke.

Many Three Elements Realm Demon Kings from the Sea Race oppose humans, love to attack humans, plundering resources, becoming tribulation cultivators.

There are also plenty of Human Race geniuses who hunt these Three Elements Realm Demon Kings, using demon beast materials to craft magical artifacts...

As for the Bones Demon Elder in front of us who broke through and managed to return alive, isn’t the experience he gained on the Human side making us...

They were emotionally stirred, full of anticipation.

Very soon.

A few blacksmiths led them on a simple tour of Fish Wine City, pointed to the sect regulations for a simple introduction, and then took them to Kissing Fish Mountain Peak.

"Are we really going to live here?"

The Kissing Fish Race was delighted; they could all reside in an environment only high-tier cultivators could enjoy, with water mist-free conditions?

"Everyone has traveled far, please settle your belongings and settle down here."

Jiucai Rong put on a serious expression, "Some simple buildings have already been constructed. You can modify them according to your habits. By evening, we’ll invite you to join the bonfire party."

The group settled down contentedly, full of joy. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

The other party is really nice!

Very polite, very kind, very cordial.

They unpacked their luggage, tidied up their rooms, looking forward to the night’s bonfire party.

"Woo woo, is this the sweet taste of misted air? Moist, damp, mixed with certain fragrant scents, paired with mist to nourish the skin."

...

...

In the evening.

A grand and enthusiastic bonfire party began.

A group of blacksmiths, always hospitable, were very interested in NPCs, chatting on various mountain peaks.

"Wow, how beautiful, I thought Big Lips Fish were ugly."

"Don’t make trouble. In this world, the more advanced the creature, the more beautiful, and after transformation, there are no ugly women."

"But demon beasts, after transformation, always carry some demon beast traits... Their lips are so big and rosy, like big sausages, I’m even more excited!"

"???"

"Everyone be serious."

"Exactly, don’t expose the silly nature!"

They reminded each other.

Frankly, the more people lack something, the more they want to show what they have.

They have always wanted to show a serious, high-class, cool persona.

Encounters with Zhang Huaping had them pretending to be serious... even trying hard to learn "human facial expressions and gestures," but things often don’t go as planned.

Now.

They realized there were issues with those facial expressions and gestures, which now made them look very much like natives!

This time, they want to be more human-like...

Less likely to be identified!

Jiucai Rong and Night Mad Cultivator learned from experience time and again, arranging things properly to give this NPC family a welcoming feeling.

The bonfire party began.

A huge bonfire was lit, burning brightly in the central plaza of Fish Wine City, amidst various wines and barbecue, both parties chatted in a friendly atmosphere, getting to know each other.

"It’s really delicious."

"It’s my first time eating such barbecue."

"Delicious!"

A group of Kissing Fish Race members gradually relaxed, mingling with the hospitable and enthusiastic Bone Demon blacksmiths.

They swore it’s the best hospitality and food they’ve encountered in their lifetime.

Listening to these bone demons say that these barbecue dishes were brought back by their Elder from the Human side, clearly surpassing whatever raw fish they had.

"You’re really great." The City Lord of Kissing Fish also ate large mouthfuls of skewers, capitalizing on his big mouth, saying, "Let me tell you another story."

"Alright, we love to listen," Su Yuniang smiled happily.

They genuinely enjoy hearing NPCs tell stories, recite lines.

It gives a very local feel.

The essence of playing games is to experience a new life beyond reality, an adventurous and playful story.

And in the distance.

A few little blacksmiths whispered:

"This batch of NPCs doesn’t deserve to eat Ginseng Fruit."

"Exactly, this race is only Middle Grade Divine Techniques."

"Then forget it."

They each possess an Upper Grade pseudo-spiritual root, capable of possessing Upper Grade NPCs.

This allows them to scrutinize others closely, silently assessing if they could "log into" a high-potential NPC role.

With high-level talent, Three Elements Realm, Two-Phase Realm, one can become a Peak Master of a mountain!

Jiucai Rong held his forehead beside them, warning them, "Don’t turn against our allies unless they misbehave..."

Soon.

Everyone ate enough amidst laughter and joy.

The Kissing Fish Race was extremely talkative!

Averaging big mouths.

The blacksmiths were pleased: unexpectedly, a worthy opponent who could talk.

The Kissing Fish Race felt as if they had found kindred spirits, these skeletons were surprisingly eloquent.

Approaching seven o’clock.

They started collecting items, preparing to log off and sleep.

Another happy and fulfilling day.

The City Lord of Kissing Fish showed curiosity: "Why do you sleep so early?"

Jiucai Rong broke out in cold sweat, "That’s just the rule in our city."

"Then what about them?"

The City Lord of Kissing Fish pointed to the Bone Demon friends who were happily eating, "Why are they heading out of the mountain gate? And bringing pillows?"

The City Lord of Kissing Fish suddenly found them odd.

Is this going to sleep?

But why go outside the city?

Didn’t they come to seek refuge for a protective shield to resist the Three Flowers?

They go outside to sleep, aren’t they afraid of pseudo-human invasion?

Jiucai Rong’s cold sweat dripped down as he watched the blacksmiths shoulder to shoulder, knowing full well what they were up to:

Of course, they were going AFK to receive tomorrow’s daily login gifts!

But...

We can’t talk about it.

That would ruin things!

Jiucai Rong saw his counterpart’s skeptical eyes, inwardly feared bad luck, tried to compensate: "Sorry, our race is like that, regional characteristics."
