Chapter 133 A New Thought

In the Bamboo House.

Lin Beichen was happily enjoying a bath in the tub.

Now that the lackey Wang Zhong was here, he did not have to worry about accommodations or entertainment.

He had just come back, but Wang Zhong had already prepared hot water for his bath. And, he had even found two beautiful maids out of nowhere who would serve Lin Beichen while he bathed. However, as the prime disciple of the fairy swordsman, Lin Beichen would not be tempted by such a corrupt life.

So, to show how tough he was, he accepted Wang Zhong’s arrangement.

“Young Master Lin, your skin is really white…”

“Haha, and it feels elastic.”

The two pretty maids looked about sixteen. Both of them looked delicate and soft, as if they had come from renowned families. Under Lin Beichen’s strong insistence, they gave up the idea of getting undressed to bathe with him. Instead, they massaged Lin Beichen from the side.

Lin Beichen was speechless.

“Do you think I’m just a squishy gum drop?”

“Excuse me, how do I pretend that this is not my first time having young women bathe me?”

“I’ll wait online.”

“I’m pretty anxious to know the answer.”

Lin Beichen pretended to be calm.

He was not really greedy for their beauty. In fact, he just want to preserve his reputation in the minds of others.

A bastard and hooligan like him was already eye-catching, and his capability had improved that much more. If he changed his character and was no longer interested in beautiful girls, it would definitely arouse Wang Zhong’s suspicion. If he asked the priest from the Temple of the Lord of Swords to check, and he found that he had traveled through time, what could he do?

Did this sound reasonable?

After using the NetEase Cloud Music BUFF, he had a short period of weakness.

A hot bath was obviously a good way to recover.

“Okay, you can leave.”

Lin Beichen waved his hand.

The two beautiful maids got changed, bowed, and stepped out of the room.

Lin Beichen lay in the warm water, thinking about his life.

This sword test had been a great shock for him.

When Ding Sanshi had drawn his sword to kill had made him completely realize the difference between this world and the earth.

If he was not strong enough, he would be killed someday.

Like today, he had almost died at Bai Haiqin’s hands.

This time, Ling Chen saved him.

What about the next time?

No one could guarantee that he would be so lucky all the time.

This period of living at the college had made Lin Beichen unknowingly think this world had the same laws as the earth. Without realizing the difference, he had become incautious. This night would be a reminder to him that he would die at any moment if he was not cautious enough.

Therefore, he had to be stronger.

Even if he only wanted to live safely, he had to become stronger as soon as possible.

And the battle with Cao Potian had inspired him.

He used to have the same opinion as the teachers and students in Third Junior College that he could be stronger as long as he practiced greater levels of Mystery Energy and mastered great sword skills.

But now, he suddenly felt that as a time-traveler, he had to get out of the regular range and plan his own practice path, which was more than important.

Lin Beichen was an idiot when it came to fighting in the real world.

But if it was fighting in a game…

He had much to say.

Before time-traveling, Lin Beichen had always been a shut-in who was only interested in video games.

He had been involved in all kinds of popular online games, and he had been proficient in them.

These included the three most popular games at the time: Dota, The King of Glory, and League of Legends.

These three games required a pretty high level of understanding towards the skills of the heroes. There were heroes with different names, various equipment, and excellent skills, which were their core elements to attract the players.

Especially their skills.

The three games had over four hundred heroes between them, each with their own skill set.

It was just like how different masters in this world had different martial skills.

But upon analysis, the many different skills could be categorized by function: movement, damage, protection, cure, and control.

It was undeniable that a game character who had all of these skills would be terrifying and could break the balance of the game.

And what about a swordsman who had all these skills?

Would he be terrifying too?

Lin Beichen carefully recalled the whole process of how he had defeated Cao Potian tonight, which was the perfect embodiment of gaming strategy.

He had used NetEase Cloud Music to gain Buff for himself. Then he had used the spiritual attack Evil Dragon’s Roar to control his opponent—it was like the terror skill of Jackstraw. Later, he had used Intellectual Screen Assistant to confuse Cao Potian and throw off his judgment. At last, he had used the damaging skill of the strongest Against the Cold Water to defeat him.

It was like getting a red BUFF in a game. He had used the first skill to control, the second to delude, and the third to end it.

It was great.

To succeed, Lin Beichen had needed to use all the skills and strength he had. and he had instinctively performed such a plan. Now, thinking back, it was a routine formed from playing games.

It was a good attempt to have defeated Cao Potian.

It was a successful attempt.

It proved that Lin Beichen’s gaming strategy would work.

He had to be selective during his practice.

An explosive, powerful sword skill.

A free, quick movement skill.

A Spiritual Force martial skill which could control mental force at the crucial moment.

A martial skill which could heal wounds.

A martial skill which could enhance defense.

There were five demands.

To choose the most explosive sword skills, he thought of the sword skills he had mastered, which were Waters Swordplay, Moon Shot Sword Skill given by the college as a prize, and Swordsmanship of Everlasting Love taught by the old headmaster.

Among these three, Moon Shot Sword Skill was the first to be eliminated.

The rest were both two-stars, and their highest powers were still limited.

So, he needed to find a more powerful and explosive sword skill.

As for the movement skills, he had Feather in Cloud and Beauty-Stealing Walk. The former could change one’s location and was always used in a battle to escape. The second could help a person move quickly and freely. It could be used in a stiff, quick fight. But, when facing a skilled master like Bai Haiqin, it would still be hard to escape. If he could learn an escape skill that he could use to protect himself from a Grand Master in kung fu, it would be much better.

He was still waiting to develop his Spiritual Force martial skill, Evil Dragon’s Roar.

As for the curing skill, did Formless Sword Bone count?

The protection skill… um, he seemed to have none.

Lin Beichen thought through all his advantages and disadvantages in his mind. And the thought became clear in his brain.

“If I could reach the top level of all five aspects, would I be invincible in this world?”

“Haha, those regular masters have never seen such a monster.”

For now, Lin Beichen was still very far from achieving these five targets.

So, he made a decision—

“Get more flesh.”

“Get greater endurance.”

Years of gaming experience told him that as long as someone had enough blood and endurance, and could run fast and play nastily, they could live for a long time in any kind of game.
