RNP Chapter 20 Lightning Five Consecutive Draws
Chapter 20 Lightning Five Consecutive Draws
"Why did this happen..." Mu Wanqing opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but felt her throat was dry.
"My master said that women are difficult to raise and that love can lead to mistakes. He instructed me to devote myself to martial arts and not to repeat his mistakes," Russell said quietly.
"What does this have to do with love? It's clearly your third senior sister who is vicious and acts impulsively. Besides, there are countless women in the world, and not all of them are like your third senior sister!"
Mu Wanqing retorted hastily, her face flushed, but then she remembered that what she had said at the beginning was also a form of threatening suicide, and she was instantly speechless. She could only mutter a weak defense:
"Anyway, I'm not."
"You really aren't?" Russell narrowed his eyes, his gaze filled with suspicion.
"I... I don't think so..." This time, Mu Wanqing's voice was noticeably softer. She was so guilty that she didn't dare to meet Russell's gaze. She herself felt that there was little credibility to it.
"If you're not, prove it to me." Seeing that Mu Wanqing was silent and sullen, Russell curled his lips, turned Mu Wanqing's body around, put his hands on her back, and began to channel the Northern Darkness True Qi into her.
Mu Wanqing's body stiffened slightly, then she relaxed and calmed herself down as instructed.
Not long after, Russell slowly withdrew his palm, and the faint white mist around him returned to his body. Mu Wanqing immediately vomited a mouthful of blood into the copper basin that had been prepared by the bedside.
"Miss Mu shouldn't be thinking of killing me anymore, right? I'll come back tomorrow."
After the PUA ended, Russell got up and left. Sitting on the bed, Mu Wanqing stared blankly at Russell's departing figure.
Am I really a bad woman?
On the other hand, Russell was in a much better mood after leaving Mu Wanqing's room than he had been in the morning.
Little brat, you think you can fight him?
The core solution is to reject all forms of moral blackmail, take control of the situation, and then pass the problem back to the person who originally raised it.
In short, what he just said had only one meaning: he wanted Mu Wanqing to look for the reasons within herself.
The results were clearly quite successful.
Reality isn't like those mindless strategy games where you can just keep increasing your affection level.
To truly change a person's thoughts and behavior patterns, especially someone like Mu Wanqing who was instilled with extreme education from a young age, simply going along with her or being overly forceful won't work. You have to make her doubt herself.
Back in the courtyard, Duan Yu was nowhere to be found, and the courtyard was now completely silent.
Russell ignored him; a grown man like him wouldn't lose himself. He went straight into the room, closed the doors and windows, and prepared to start the lottery.
Including the two lottery draws given by Duan Yu and Mu Wanxin, he has accumulated five lottery draws.
"System, draw a prize."
The illusory image of the roulette wheel reappeared, the pointer spun rapidly, paused five times in a row, and five beams of light burst forth.
【The Spirit of Fallen Leaves (Gathering fallen petals, collecting withered blossoms, shaking off the dust amidst a thousand peaks, still awaiting the remains of departed loved ones)】
【Cat's Eye Treasure String (Your attacks can now crit; it's time to gamble on your luck)】
[Tiger Talisman (I've heard I'm the most useless talisman)]
[Skill Card - Little Li's Flying Dagger (Little Li's Flying Dagger, never misses)]
[Character Card - Chen Jinnan (The Grand Master has arrived, and the Grand Master was instantly defeated)]
nice one!
It seems his luck has turned around today; good things are happening one after another.
With a thought, Russell conjured up balls of light in his hands.
The Withered Leaf Spirit, as one of the best magic items to synthesize in Journey to the West, has limited growth potential, but it is undoubtedly the most suitable for players to smoothly transition in the early stages.
Looking at the withered leaf spirit in his hand, Russell felt a pang of sadness. He recalled how he and his childhood sweetheart, the girl next door, one a Monkey King and the other a Pigsy, were blocked at the Southern Heavenly King's Palace.
The ice spikes on the ground, the icicles in the sky, and those damned archers were a childhood nightmare.
On a sunny afternoon, he turned off his computer and made a promise with his neighbor's daughter to play again next time.
Unfortunately, the girl next door later ran off with a guy with dyed yellow hair and a frizzy temper, and he, a true veteran player, even forgot his game account.
My childhood is gone forever...
With a sigh, Russell gripped the withered leaf spirit tightly.
A gentle yet vibrant life force flowed from the withered leaf spirit, making Russell feel as if he were basking in the sun.
Not only did his right hand injury heal itself at a visible speed, but his own strength was also amplified.
He casually grabbed a rope, hung the withered leaf spirit as a pendant around his neck, put on the cat's eye bracelet, and then flipped his hand over. A round talisman appeared in his palm. The material was like jade but not jade. It was decorated with two fierce tiger patterns and was divided into black and white halves by a central axis.
Among the twelve talismans, the Tiger Talisman's only function is to balance Yin and Yang. In terms of its expressive power, it is merely a useless thing, dividing people into good and evil sides. It is considered by the Black Hand trio to be one of the two most useless talismans, along with the Sheep Talisman.
However, judging from the facts, the Tiger Talisman and the Rat Talisman should be the two talismans that the Holy Lord values most.
The Rat Talisman provides him with life, while the Tiger Talisman maintains the balance of his power.
The Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic states that when Yin and Yang are in harmony, the spirit is healthy; when Yin and Yang are separated, the essence and Qi are exhausted.
No matter how you look at it, the Tiger Talisman can't possibly be as simple as it's shown in the anime.
And then there's Little Li's Flying Dagger. Anyone who uses it knows how deadly it is, just like a lock.
Back then, there was a guy named Shangguan Jin Hong who didn't believe in this superstition and insisted on trying it. The result, unsurprisingly, was a complete failure.
As for Chen Jinnan's character card...
Russell could only say that when this person appeared, he thought he was some important figure, but he didn't even get to eat New Year's Eve dinner.
Well, something is better than nothing.
Just then, the wooden door to the meditation room creaked open, and Duan Yu walked in dejectedly.
His once respectable brocade robe was now covered in yellow mud and grass clippings, his cuffs and trouser legs were soaking wet, and a few strands of dry grass clung to his hair. He looked utterly disheveled, like a drowned dog that had just rolled in a mud pit.
"Brother Duan, did you... fall into a ditch?" Russell toyed with the cat's-eye beads in his hand, looked Duan Yu up and down, and couldn't help but tease him.
Duan Yu, with a bitter face, sighed and said, "Alas! Brother Luo, please don't mention it! It's truly bad luck!"
According to him, he had just seen the beautiful scenery behind the temple and thought he would go there to explore and enjoy it. However, when he reached a quiet place halfway up the mountain and was about to recite a few lines of poetry, he suddenly heard a sharp and piercing iron whistle coming from the woods. The whistle came abruptly and hurt his eardrums.
He was wondering where the whistle came from in this desolate wilderness when, before he could react, he heard a rustling sound from the bushes beside him, and a strange figure darted out, as fast as a ghost. Startled, he slipped and fell headfirst into a shallow, muddy pit next to him.
