Jujutsu: Eight Magical Skills At The Beginning, Admission Is A Special Level

Chapter 2: Then Senior Sister Arrived

In the year 2050, the technology that links the human brain with the internet has matured, declaring that human consciousness can freely enter and interact with the virtual world, causing a huge sensation.

With the continuous iteration of information processing technologies such as Transcendent Level computers, optical computers, and quantum computers, a large number of military technologies have been declassified and become civilian technologies. Taking advantage of this wave, the previously popular holographic virtual reality games have entered a period of explosive growth.

At that time, in order to demonstrate national power and promote their respective cultures, major countries all focused their attention on the gaming industry. One holographic game after another emerged, dazzling people's eyes.

[Nine States World] was born against this backdrop, a Transcendent Level map evolved from parameters, exquisite images that do not exist in reality, and most importantly, a real sense of flying and underground experiences. This completely open holographic game quickly became popular.

At first, due to cultural reasons, this game was only popular in the Asian region. However, with massive publicity, numerous guilds joining, the establishment of professional leagues, and the lure of equipment trading, bonuses, and medals, this game gradually occupied the gaming markets of other continents.

The main reason why [Nine States World] was able to break through the competition, surpassing other similar games, and winning the hearts of players can be summed up in two words - realism.

Because it was too realistic, many players believed deeply that this world truly existed, and it was not just a string of virtual parameters.

Lu Bei was not a professional player and came from an ordinary family. The high price of the game made him hesitate and unable to join the holographic game as a personal hobby.

But he had a good job, and his boss was an amateur player with a big appetite for gaming. He often got pinned down by other players and stubbornly claimed that it wasn't due to being clumsy, but because he was too busy with work, resulting in slower reaction speed.

After a brief session of playing on behalf of his boss, the boss realized that Lu Bei's talent for gaming was being wasted due to his poverty. He gladly handed over his own account to Lu Bei, allowing him to complete storyline quests on his behalf.

As a result, Lu Bei spent half of his workday inside the game warehouse.

In fact, he was only moderately interested in this game. After all, no matter how realistic it was, the internet was still not reality. The disparity between the power in the virtual world and the helplessness in the real world was too great. Over time, it could not only lead to mental illness but also make people lose their sense of self.

This was not good.

However, his boss gave him too much. Faced with the temptation of a salary increase and a doubled year-end bonus, Lu Bei chose to endure the hardship.

On this day, as usual, he entered his boss's office under the envious and jealous gazes of his colleagues. He skillfully opened the game warehouse, selected the storyline mode, and entered [Nine States World], and then...

There was no "then." When he closed his eyes and opened them again, the world in front of him became even more real.

The whereabouts of his boss's account were unknown. He logged into a strange account, which turned out to be an NPC's template.

Unable to log out, he tried to seek help from the outside world but found that the forum area was all gray and white, with not even an official post. It was even more under maintenance than the actual maintenance.

After communicating with another NPC passerby, Lu Bei confirmed that he had transmigrated.

824th year of the Wu Zhou Dynasty, Tranquil State, Eastern Sun County, Jade Chime District.

824th year was the time point of the public beta of [Nine States World]. When Lu Bei started playing on behalf of his boss, he had been doing quests in the capital city of the Wu Zhou Dynasty, and the version had been updated to 3.0.

In other words, he not only crossed worlds but also crossed time.

Although the time in Jiuzhou is not synchronized with real time, that's not the point. The point is that Lu Bei has discovered that he is being followed by an old Taoist.

Those narrow, squinting eyes stared at him, scanning him up and down, making him shudder and instantly snap out of his confusion from transmigrating.

"Young man, I see that you have extraordinary potential. You would make a great disciple for cultivating immortality. And I happen to be in need of a disciple. How about we make do with each other?"

"You must be dreaming."

A lecherous old Taoist, rubbing his hands together as he spoke, Lu Bei firmly rejected him without giving any room for negotiation, considering both physical and mental safety.

This was Lu Bei's first encounter with Mo Buxio, and it didn't turn out very friendly. Mo Buxio forcefully took him up the mountain and forced him to become his disciple.

...

"I have a headache and I'm so hungry. Can I still go back?"

Lu Bei furrowed his brows as he closed his eyes and checked the panel information. He muttered to himself, "If I can't go back, what should I do in the future? Is this panel serious? Are there really players entering the game... This is terrible, I didn't even agree to it, and I'm so hungry."

Lu Bei, who hadn't solved his hunger problem, began to worry about his future life. Amidst a series of sighs, he once again focused his attention on the panel information.

After entering the game, there were options such as storyline mode, battle mode, and dungeon mode. There were no NPCs, so there was no need to consider them.

In addition, there were slight differences between the panel information of players and NPCs, which made it look quite refreshing at first glance.

The primary interface of the information panel was divided into four areas. Lu Bei clicked on them one by one, and besides the character interface, the rest of the sections for cultivation techniques, wealth, and factions were all blank.

"This shouldn't be right. I can understand why the cultivation techniques section is blank, but why are the wealth and factions sections blank?"

Lu Bei couldn't understand. Mo Buxio had passed on the position of the head of the Ascension Gate to him, so at the very least, the wealth interface should have had a land deed, and there should have been default changes in the factions section.

"Could it be that because of my inner resistance, even though I inherited his legacy, I didn't fully inherit it?"

Perplexed, Lu Bei turned his attention to the character interface. With only a few lines of information, he roughly understood the situation, ignoring the evaluation in the last line.

Firstly, the attributes were not much different from those of players. To put it bluntly, it almost continued the set of all game attributes.

As for the standards for equipping equipment and practicing cultivation techniques, let's not mention them for now. Strength determined the basic attack power, speed determined the basic movement and evasion, and spirit and endurance determined the basic cultivation and health, with a ratio of 1:10.

Of course, there were some finer details, such as how spirit affected willpower, judgment, and comprehension, while endurance affected defense and stamina, and they also had mutual influences with cultivation technique skills.

As for charm, it was not equivalent to appearance. It affected interactions with NPCs and played a significant role within factions.

Of course, if someone was so handsome that they were earth-shattering, so handsome that everyone ignored other factors and compared appearance to charm, Lu Bei had nothing to say.

Now let's talk about luck. Lu Bei had never understood this thing. As a simple example, with the same account and doing the same task, everything being the same, the probability of him getting good equipment drops was just higher than his superiors.

What does this mean?

Is his boss a non-player character?

On one hand, yes, on the other hand, what equipment can be obtained is ultimately determined by the official.

After reading the attributes of 233333, Lu Bei glanced at his level, experience, and cultivation. It's not surprising that he didn't start from scratch, as the official forum has explained before that the Nine States World is abundant in spiritual energy. As long as one can breathe, even if they are a pig, they will eventually have cultivation after a long time.

If lucky, they can even awaken their spiritual wisdom and become monsters.

But there is one point, having cultivation is one thing, but it is a natural phenomenon of spiritual energy accumulation in the body. Lu Bei has not truly cultivated systematically, so even if he has cultivation, it's just for better taste.

This also explains why Lu Bei has cultivation but can't open the Universe Bag. Currently, compared to a pig, he may still be slightly inferior in taste.

"No main profession for now, need a guide, and most likely, this person is Senior Sister."

After a moment, Lu Bei opened his eyes and casually picked up a dogtail grass and put it in his mouth. "I wonder what Senior Sister's main profession is. Towering Heaven Sword Sect sounds like a Dao Cultivator, but it's not certain. Many Demon Cultivators also practice swordsmanship... Huh, this grass tastes good. Is it because of the spiritual energy?"

...

It was noon, the scorching sun was high in the sky, and a cool mountain breeze brought a slight dryness.

Lu Bei's health points recovered slightly from continuously chewing on the dogtail grass. He sighed at the wonders of the Great Thousand World. With spiritual energy, one can do whatever they want. Because he didn't know when the so-called Senior Sister would arrive, and was unsure if she would come, he decided to take advantage of the early time and try going down the mountain.

Whether he succeeds or not doesn't matter, exploring a path is also good.

Just as he reached the front yard, which could be the main gate or the courtyard wall, towering pine trees welcomed him, and the forest birds suddenly chirped. Lu Bei heard the sound of wind behind him and turned to look.

In his line of sight was a woman wearing a white waist-bound immortal dress, with a light blue silk ribbon tied around her waist. Her black hair cascaded down to her waist without any hair accessories, only tied with a white silk ribbon.

Her skin was fair, her appearance was beautiful, and her face was exquisitely drawn.

A fox spirit? So fast?

Lu Bei frowned and took a step back.

Stating the facts and reasoning, the girl in front of him seemed even younger than him. If this person is indeed Senior Sister Bai, who was hailed as the first disciple of the Towering Heaven Sword Sect thirty years ago by Mo Buxio, then...

He's doomed!

No matter who comes, it won't work!

Seeing Lu Bei's guard, the girl's cold expression slightly softened, and she introduced herself, "Bai Jin came here after receiving a message from Senior Uncle Mo. Are you Junior Brother?"

"So you're Senior Sister. Senior Sister Bai, you're so fair. I'm Lu Bei."

"What?"

"I mean... Senior Sister Bai, you're so good-looking. I'm Lu Bei."

After a brief exchange, confirming that the person in front of him was indeed his Senior Sister and not a fox spirit, Lu Bei awkwardly shook his head. Even though he had personally experienced that with spiritual energy, one could do whatever they wanted in the Nine States World, he still couldn't shake off his preconceived notions.

It seems that it will take some time to adapt quickly.

Inside the house, Bai Jin looked at the wooden box on the table and fell into silence. After a long time, she said, "Junior Brother Lu, Senior Uncle Mo's message was urgent. Did he have any last words for you to pass on to me?"

"Senior... He said that he would trouble Senior Sister with matters regarding my cultivation." Lu Bei thought for a moment and said so.

"Is there nothing else?"

"Anything else?"

Lu Bei's expression remained unchanged, and he muttered to himself that one should always be cautious of others. He changed the topic and said, "He left too quickly, without even saying 'I will pass on my lifelong skills to you.' There's nothing else."

Bai Jin fell silent, and Lu Bei's temperament was more unpredictable than she had imagined. His cultivation journey would probably be much more difficult than others, and there's also Mo Buxio...

"Junior Brother Lu, tell me honestly, did Senior Uncle mention my Master in his final moments?"

"???"

Looking at Bai Jin's beautiful face, Lu Bei's mind was filled with question marks. He tentatively said, "He did mention the Towering Heaven Sword Sect, but only said that if it weren't for his senior brother who severely injured him back then, he would definitely go back and take a look before he died."

"I see, he mentioned it." Bai Jin nodded, then shook her head.

"Senior Sister Bai, there's something I don't know if I should ask." Thinking of a certain possibility, Lu Bei felt a great pressure.

"Speak."

Senior Sister, you were the first disciple of the Towering Heaven Sword Sect thirty years ago, so how old are you now and how many years have you been cultivating?

Actually, Lu Bei really wanted to ask this question, but considering that it would damage the relationship between Senior Sister and Junior Brother, and mainly because it would damage his own body, he decisively suppressed it and cautiously said, "Senior Sister Bai, that injured sect leader, could it be... my Master?"

"No, that's the Sect Leader's senior brother. There were some misunderstandings between him and Senior Uncle Mo." Bai Jin turned her head. "As for my Master... she is the Sect Leader's wife."

Lu Bei: "..."

Understood, the relationship isn't complicated.

In addition, with this relationship, his plan to gain experience by going to the Towering Heaven Sword Sect is doomed.
