Upon seeing the mysterious fairy appear, Li Muyang instantly turned and ran, not wanting to waste any words with this crazy woman.
The two or three dozen failures before had already proven that it was impossible to communicate with this Dragon Deity Fairy.
Apparently, the mysterious fairy’s pursuit was also part of the game content.
Li Muyang had to avoid her pursuit while collecting the souls within the Treasure Beads in the city.
After controlling Nan Hua to escape the mysterious fairy, Li Muyang found Dong Zhuo who was drinking in the brothel.
Among the crowd, the burly Dong Zhuo wore majestic armor and was imposing.
“I am the Grand Tutor of the Great Han! All affairs under the heavens are under my control, who dares to disobey me!”
The details of this game were truly crude.
Each NPC only had one or two lines, most of which were very stereotypical.
—At this time, Dong Zhuo was nothing but a fart of a Grand Tutor!
Li Muyang didn’t say anything further and chose to confront him.
After defeating the Grand Tutor, the mysterious fairy predictably appeared again.
[Mysterious Fairy: Who on earth are you…]
However, this time, before she could finish speaking, Li Muyang used the Divine Skill “Shrinking Earth Into Inches” to instantly slip away.
He was afraid that if he stayed near her for too long, she would kill him with a single slap.
In this way, he kept looking for opponents of equal strength in the city to challenge while avoiding the pursuit of the mysterious fairy.
Occasionally, because he wasn’t fast enough, he would be killed by the mysterious fairy with one strike.
But with the ability to load previous saves, even if Li Muyang died miserably, he could come back immediately and continue with the game progress.
Finally, amidst the tireless pursuit of the mysterious fairy, Li Muyang leveled up to LV79, and he had collected 69 soul-filled Treasure Beads in his backpack.
The higher the level of the NPC, the more beads they dropped.
At this moment, a backpack full of shining beads looked very neat and pleasing to the eye, simply a blessing for those with obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Li Muyang yawned tiredly, feeling his eyes swell up.
He momentarily closed down the game system to check the light outside.
Well, it was almost dawn outside.
Did I accidentally play through the night?
Li Muyang rubbed his eyes, got out of bed, and stretched.
Although the details of this Three Kingdoms game were very crude and the battle mode quite simplistic, for some unknown reason, it was incredibly addictive.
Mainly because the leveling up process was too simple and easy, and the difficulty of killing monsters wasn’t high, leading to a loop of positive feedback.
Watching the levels skyrocket brought an inexplicable rush of excitement.
Moreover, the system promised rewards for completing the game, which made it even more enticing.
Li Muyang got up, splashed his face with cold water, and then lay back down on the bed to continue grinding.
Now at LV79, the end of the game shouldn’t be too far off, right?
Li Muyang decided to complete the game before going to water his Spirit Rice fields.

Although he had been gaming all night, he still felt quite alert.
After all, he was now a Cultivator at the seventh layer of the Spiritual Energy realm, soon to reach the eighth layer.
Cultivators at the Spiritual Energy realm had their bodies tempered seven times, making them far stronger than ordinary people.
Li Muyang felt he could be energetic even without sleep for three days and nights.
—Even though lack of rest could deplete one’s kidney essence and hinder cultivation progress.
Lower-level Cultivators were still advised to sleep early and get up early, to maintain their bodies in the best condition and to absorb and utilize the Spiritual Energy within the Spirit Rice to the fullest.
But Li Muyang had plenty of top-quality Spirit Rice, so it didn’t matter to him.
He closed his eyes and once again entered Luoyang City within the game.
Now at LV79, he was considered quite formidable within the city, with not many NPCs stronger than him.
Although he still couldn’t beat the trio of Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, fighting the second and third-tier characters was no problem.
Controlling Nan Hua, he took another tour around the city and found another suitable challenge target.

The White Horse General with Gong Sunzan’s health bar swaggered through the city streets, and Li Muyang directly stepped forward, ready to challenge him.
But at that moment, his vision suddenly shook, and the young man on the street stumbled, almost toppling over.
At the same time, a white fog suddenly poured out throughout Luoyang City.
This fog was boundless and turned the entire Luoyang City into a hazy foggy capital in an instant.
“Nan Hua: Not good… the resentful spirits in the city are about to lose control!”
With that, the young man looked towards the direction of the palace with a worried expression in his eyes.
“Nan Hua: There’s no time! Although we don’t have enough Spirit Rice beads, we must now go into the palace to appease the resentful spirits!”
The young man steadied himself against the wall and stood up, his stance stabilizing.
Li Muyang had no choice but to let Gong Sunzan, the White Horse General, go, controlling Nan Hua to use the Divine Skills of Shrinking Earth Into Inches towards the palace.
The scenes of the game within the fog kept refreshing, and soon Li Muyang arrived inside the towering and magnificent palace.
However, beneath the tall palace walls, there were no guards to be seen.
The fog within the Imperial City was even denser than outside, several times thicker.
Using the Divine Skills of Shrinking Earth Into Inches, Li Muyang flickered through the Imperial City, finally arriving in front of a grand and majestic hall.
That hall was entwined with blood-red vengeful aura, which almost solidified into matter and looked extremely terrifying.
Li Muyang stepped into the hall, only to see the Emperor, dressed in a black imperial robe, sitting on the throne with his neck grasped by a bizarre monster, being strangled to death.
Beneath the feet of the monster, the ground cracked open, and evil spirits wrapped in blood mist surged out from underground.
A mysterious fairy stood within the hall, trying to suppress and block the outpouring of evil spirits with an invisible barrier.
However, more and more evil spirits overwhelmed her, almost crawling over the barrier she had spread out.
“Mysterious Fairy: What are you doing here…” Her voice contained a touch of surprise.
Li Muyang, however, did not explain and directly controlled Nan Hua to approach the group of evil spirits in front of him.
The young man in the great hall faced the dense swarm of evil spirits, endlessly casting light from his hands.
The Spirit Rice beads he had collected earlier now transformed into light, falling among the group of evil spirits.
The evil spirits touched by the light saw their vengeful aura quickly disappear, their expressions gradually becoming lucid and calm.
The mysterious fairy looked on at this scene, somewhat astonished.
“Mysterious Fairy: How did you do that…” She was amazed at Li Muyang’s method.
But there were simply too many evil spirits.
As more and more evil spirits poured out from the ground, and after Li Muyang had used up all the Spirit Rice beads, the number of evil spirits emerging from the ground kept increasing.
Seeing this, the mysterious fairy sighed.
“Mysterious Fairy: So you came to help me… What a pity…”
The next second, the barrier maintained by the mysterious fairy shattered.
An endless horde of ferocious spirits gushed out from behind the barrier, engulfing the two people in the great hall.
“Evil spirits unleashed, living beings in despair… You gave your best, but it was still in vain.”
“Do you wish to continue the game?”
“Yes/No”
Looking at the failed game interface, Li Muyang scratched his head.
“The collected Spirit Rice beads were not enough, so the final level is unbeatable, huh…”
If that’s the case, then he had to start over.
After all, this game would forcefully enter the final chapter where all ghosts break loose after a certain time.
But because he was unfamiliar with the map, he spent too much time on the road and finding people; he had only reached level 79 when the final chapter arrived.
All previous saves were wasted.
To be safe, he had to start from the beginning again, this time heading straight for the goal, collecting enough Spirit Rice beads at the fastest speed in order to clear the game.
