The fairies I flirted with in the game became real?!
Chapter 73: Chapter 73: Now I Have to Clear the Level

The disheveled drunkard Jiang Xiaoyu left the crowd and stepped into a dark alley.

And his dialogue options showed Li Muyang the game's victory condition.

[Mission: Find the Immortal Sword known as "Surprise" left behind by Jade Fairy within Nan River City.]

"Good, the main quest has appeared."

Li Muyang, having controlled Jiang Xiaoyu through the initial storyline, breathed a sigh of relief.

Even though the third-person god view gaming mode was less free, this mode of operation was actually more familiar to Li Muyang.

He recalled that, according to the opening CG, Jade Fairy had died on a broken bridge within the city.

Therefore, Li Muyang directed Jiang Xiaoyu toward the center of Nan River City.

At that moment, Nan River City was bustling with excitement, with demons and monsters clad in festive colors parading and celebrating in almost every main thoroughfare.

Besides the demons and monsters, many humans also participated in the celebrations.

In this city, ordinary humans and monsters coexisted in harmony, creating a spectacle that was truly odd.

Li Muyang observed carefully for a long time and discovered that there were even many half-demons and half-monsters among the crowd.

Reflecting on previous information, this Nan River City was clearly a place where humans and demons lived together, and even intermarried and had children.

Humans and demons regularly marrying each other...

Even in an era where the Demon Path ran rampant, Nan River City was still astoundingly explosive.

The harmonious coexistence and inter-marriage between humans and demons were just like a ghost story.

For most demons, ordinary humans were blood food, consumables.

These demons didn't mix with Li Muyang and his group of Demon Cultivators, let alone with ordinary humans.

And the idea of demons in Nan River City intermarrying with humans, was as if people were treating bread as something obscene—quite a paradigm-shattering concept.

Li Muyang sighed and said, "Such a distinctive city, if it really existed in reality, would definitely be easy to replace."

From the dialogue options of Jiang Xiaoyu, only Nan River City accommodated both humans and demons.

So the Immortal Sword left by Jade Fairy...

Li Muyang's eyes lit up.

If Nan River City existed in reality, then by having Jiang Xiaoyu hide the sword, one could later replace an opportunity to retrieve it in person, wouldn't that be getting an Immortal Sword for free?

"All right, all right, I now have one more reason to beat this game."

"Now I've got to beat it!"

Li Muyang, full of enthusiasm, controlled Jiang Xiaoyu as he moved through Nan River City.

Though it was a third-person perspective RPG, Nan River City's map was larger than anticipated, and since Jiang Xiaoyu didn't possess Nan Hua's "Shrinking Earth Into Inches" Divine Skills, he could only run through the map relying on his feet.

As Li Muyang controlled Jiang Xiaoyu to keep running throughout the city, he gradually became speechless, the frustration of running across maps in "World of Warcraft" resurfacing.

Sometimes a map being too large is not necessarily a good thing.

It wasn't easy, but Li Muyang eventually controlled Jiang Xiaoyu to reach the central area of the city, only to replace that the way forward was blocked.

A group of Government Officials dressed as constables stood in the street, coldly shouting.

"All unrelated persons are prohibited from entering!"

[Jiang Xiaoyu: ...the road is sealed? I'll have to replace another way then.]

The Jiang Xiaoyu in the game yawned and obediently left after being scolded by the demons.

Li Muyang quickly had him running to another street corner, only to see that the path was also sealed off by constables, though this time the constables were humans.

A few tall human constables with sabers at their waists stood at the intersection, telling the approaching Jiang Xiaoyu.

"This road is closed! All unrelated persons are forbidden from entering!"

Against Jiang Xiaoyu, a human character, these human constables were noticeably more cordial but likewise denied entry.

Li Muyang had Jiang Xiaoyu running back and forth, discovering that all roads leading to the city center were blocked.

There were human blockades, demon blockades, and even half-monster blockades... The group forces in Nan River City were distinctively divided.

Demons stuck together, humans stuck together, and the half-monsters formed their own groups.

[Jiang Xiaoyu: All roads are sealed; it seems I'll have to sneak in.] Experience exclusive tales on M-V-L

[Jiang Xiaoyu: Too bad my vital energy is destroyed, unable to use Divine Skills, otherwise these riffraff couldn't possibly stop me.]

The drunkard Jiang Xiaoyu stood in a corner, sighing and looking helpless.

In Li Muyang's field of vision, a system prompt popped up.

[Please use the Invisibility Talisman to sneak into the broken bridge]

"Item? Invisibility Talisman?"

Li Muyang curiously opened the inventory, only to replace that Jiang Xiaoyu's character inventory actually contained quite a lot of stuff.

[Silver Fragments X12]

[Nightmare Silk Ribbon]X1

[Invisibility Talisman]X3

[Sober Talisman]X6

[Fine Wine Talisman]X33

[Dirty Handkerchief]X1

[White Bone Gourd]X1

[Vomit-Contaminated Blood]X3

[Soul-Eating Green Robe]X1

…

Li Muyang's lips twitched as he looked at the hodgepodge of items in the backpack.

Among them were some completely useless trash items, with images that were extremely disturbing.

However, amidst this mess of things, there were a few talismans that were quite useful.

[Invisibility Talisman: A talisman stolen by Jiang Xiaoyu, grants invisibility for 10 minutes]

[Fiery Talisman: A talisman stolen by Jiang Xiaoyu, can shoot out a stream of Samadhi True Fire]

[Flying Sword Talisman: A talisman won by Jiang Xiaoyu in a bet, can release a flying sword to slay enemies]

…

Li Muyang selected the Invisibility Talisman, saved the game, and then confirmed its use.

[Invisibility Talisman used]

In the game, Jiang Xiaoyu's figure quickly became transparent, and in the upper right corner of the vision appeared a buff: [Invisible Status: 09:59].

Li Muyang controlled the now transparent Jiang Xiaoyu and walked towards the road ahead.

As Jiang Xiaoyu approached the group of demon constables, one of them with a dog's head sniffed the air.

"…There's the scent of a living person!"

Instantly, all the demons looked up and locked their gaze on the semi-transparent Jiang Xiaoyu following the demon dog's line of sight.

[Jiang Xiaoyu: ...Seems like I've been found out?]

The next second, the game character Jiang Xiaoyu whooshed away, instantly running out of Li Muyang's field of view.

[Sneak-in Failed]

The four characters appeared before Li Muyang, leaving him somewhat speechless.

"This Invisibility Talisman can't hide my scent? What a piece of garbage talisman."

After reloading the save, this time Li Muyang didn't use the Invisibility Talisman but instead controlled Jiang Xiaoyu to take a detour to a street corner guarded by human constables.

The group of demons had their keen-nosed demon dogs, but surely these humans can't have sensitive noses as well, right?

Li Muyang used the Invisibility Talisman, controlling the invisible Jiang Xiaoyu to head towards the intersection ahead.

This time, he passed through the checkpoint easily and bypassed the few human constables.

However, before Li Muyang could feel happy, the invisible Jiang Xiaoyu had only walked a short distance in when a burst of Sword Qi suddenly flew out from the shadows.

"Who's there, sneaking around! Show yourself!"

A middle-aged man with the health bar labeled [Luo Qunshan] appeared ahead, staring intently at where Jiang Xiaoyu was.

[Sneak-in Failed]

Another failure message prompted the system to automatically revert to the save before the attempt to sneak in.

Looking at the group of constables at the distant street corner, Li Muyang scratched his head.

"Is it my operation that's problematic? Why do I get discovered no matter which route I take…"
