Skill: Slash All Things
Description: A seemingly casual strike that contains immense power. This move is a rare learning; those who master this sword move cannot comprehend other techniques and cannot join a Sect. A lifetime, one person, one sword, one move, can slash all things.
Cooldown: 72 hours.
Requirement: Sword.
Tianmiao looked at the description of the skill, vaguely sensing something was amiss. If earlier she were a player without a Sect or skills, at this moment, this Slash All Things would have cut off all her paths, and the cooldown is incredibly long—three whole days. But this skill seems so overpowered, unlike the attitude of this game towards her.
Simply put, the Demon Clan that rules this game would not be so kind to her.
And the reluctant tone of the system notification just now—tsk tsk, quite stifling.
So stifling it was delightful.
She unexpectedly entered this game world, severing many of her senses, and her power was also blocked. Was this all a conspiracy against her? Consider it a conspiracy? Yet, it seems someone secretly lent her a hand. Who could it be?
Unable to know who secretly helped her, Tianmiao didn’t dwell on it. Instead, she began to happily rummage through all her Storage Space. Ah, very well, except for ten silver coins in her pocket, she had nothing, not even a broken Iron Sword.
Opening the map, Tianmiao discovered a town not far ahead, with a weapons shop, so she decided to head to the town first and have a look.
Starting anew feels quite novel. Tianmiao, full of enthusiasm, headed towards the town.
"Ding~ You are about to enter Tianhe Town. Weather: cloudy, physical condition: healthy."
Tianmiao quickened her pace, heading straight for the weapons shop in Tianhe Town to find a weapon first, as only with a weapon could she use her sole skill.
Tianhe Town is not large, with convenient transportation. Along the way, Tianmiao saw many carriages and Flying Swords coming and going, with players with various names bustling around. The city was bustling, with various taverns and shops, plus diverse categories of NPCs. It seemed a resting place for players.
After a short walk, Tianmiao arrived in front of the weapons shop. The Shopkeeper, a young man with somewhat dark skin, warmly approached Tianmiao, saying: "Honored Cultivator, could you do me a small favor? I am willing to gift you a weapon from the store."
A quest, perhaps? It seems like the games I played before were similar to this, with no pop-up task bar. All tasks are very realistically triggered through conversation.
Tianmiao nodded: "Sure."
"My son, Xiaofei, has been missing for many days. Many people I entrusted have yet to find him. I hope you can help me find my son. Aunt Wang said my son last appeared at the Chaotic Burial Mound outside town. Oh, my Xiaofei!" The Shopkeeper’s face was full of grief, tears streaming.
Notification: Congratulations on receiving the quest—Find Xiaofei. This quest is unique to Slash All Things with no follow-up task indicators.
The Storage Bag lit up for a moment as Tianmiao opened it to find a Spirit Talisman with an unknown purpose inside.
Then, talking to the Shopkeeper elicited no response.
After confirming the location of the Chaotic Burial Mound, Tianmiao was about to leave when she heard someone calling her from behind: "Tianmiao, Miss Tian!"
"Hmm?" Tianmiao turned around and saw a player named Leng Yanhua, a very sunny and handsome young man, looking like a boy-next-door type in human terms. With a head of energetic short hair and wearing cloth armor with a sword on his back, he was stunned when Tianmiao turned around, having never seen such a beautiful girl, causing his face to flush with embarrassment as he awkwardly scratched his head.
