Qin Guan nodded and continued, "Not long ago, one of my disciples passed by the Jishan Slope near Songshan and encountered a foreign woman named Solin. She hopes we can lend a hand, and this mission is entrusted to you. It will also serve as a valuable experience for you."
Lufeng nodded in agreement and accepted the mission—[Assist Songshan].
After accepting the mission, Lufeng did not engage with the 'Noodle Stall Ghost' and hurried towards the Luoyang Post Station.
...
To the east of Luoyang City is Yan Nan, to the south is Songshan, to the west is Dunhuang, and to the north is Western Capital. Lufeng and his companions were heading south from Luoyang to Songshan.
When Lufeng arrived at Luoyang Post Station, Gao Chao, Qin Shou, and Qiu Han had already arrived ahead of him.
Before long, Murong Xiaoxiao and Wang Xiaojing followed suit. Without any nonsense, the group of six headed south.
As they walked, Lufeng chatted casually while eating the buns he had cooked. Naturally, Wang Xiaojing wanted Lufeng to cook for her. Lufeng found this quite amusing; however, the food prepared by the System had reached an exceptionally high standard. It not only satisfied everyone's hunger but was also a culinary delight.
Soon, with Lufeng and his companions' efforts, they arrived at Songshan through the teleportation array located to the south of Luoyang City.
Upon entering Songshan, it felt as if they had truly arrived at Songshan itself. The scenery was strikingly similar, with steep cliffs and slender peaks.
At that moment, Lufeng and his companions found themselves on top of Central Peak Region. Behind them was a colorful teleportation array flanked by two tall stone guard sculptures a few meters apart. This highlighted the slenderness of the peaks. Beside the sculptures was a deep valley over a thousand meters high. Looking out into the distance revealed a sea of white mist, showcasing the mountain's towering height that instilled awe.
Wang Xiaojing curiously approached the peak, nearly scared out of her wits, and quickly rushed towards Lufeng: "Wow—it's so high!"
The warm fragrance enveloped him; Lufeng felt quite pleased but could only feign helplessness as he didn't want Murong Xiaoxiao to overthink things.
Gao Chao and the others raised their middle fingers at Lufeng—showing disdain.
"Ahem..."
Lufeng lightly coughed and straightened Wang Xiaojing before continuing, "This is the legendary Songshan, almost identical to our reality or even better in some aspects. The only difference is that there are no tourists or modern buildings here; instead, there are NPCs, players, monsters, and preserved ancient structures. We are currently at Zhongyue in Songshan. The main peak Tai Shi Mountain stands at an altitude of 1,440 meters and is also known as the eastern peak of Songshan. The middle peak is called Junji Mountain, while the western peak is Shaoshi Mountain. The world-renowned Shaolin Temple lies at the northern foot of Wurufeng on Shaoshi Mountain in Songshan. The martial arts of Shaolin originated from ancient Songshan's Shaolin Temple, hence its name—Qin Shou—the 'Beast' sect."
Lufeng deliberately mispronounced Qin Shou as 'Beast,' provoking Qin Shou's retort: "I know this isn't entirely my fault; if anyone should be blamed, it's my elementary school language teacher who passed away too early."
Lufeng playfully swatted him with a fan and laughed: "Mind your words!"
Qin Shou curled his lips, too lazy to argue with Lufeng, knowing well that he would always be the one to get hurt in the end.
"Back to the point, 'Salty Egg Shenanigans' is located at the southeast corner of Songshan, bordering Taihu. Everyone should remember the map; it will come in handy later."
...
After being brought back to reality by the magnificent scenery of Songshan, the group continued on their great journey towards leveling up. They hadn't gone far when they found Solin. After completing the task, their Experience increased significantly.
After some conversation, Lufeng and the others learned that Solin was also an NPC who had come here out of admiration, not a local NPC from Songshan. He inquired about the location of Songyang Academy.
Lufeng was taken aback, unsure of what Solin meant.
"I came from distant Yuxi to Songshan. I really love calligraphy and particularly admire the masters at Songyang Academy," Solin explained his purpose, leaving everyone even more confused. Lufeng felt a glimmer of understanding, sensing that the connections between these NPCs might affect the progress of their quests.
To prove his thoughts, Lufeng felt there should be another task and politely asked, "Is there anything I can help with?"
Upon hearing Lufeng's words, Solin was overjoyed: "That's great! Once I heard my uncle mention that there is a calligraphy master at Songyang Academy named Holy Calligrapher—Xiao Rang—whose writing surpasses that of ancient masters. So I traveled all this way to Songshan to ask Mr. Xiao Rang to critique my calligraphy."
Lufeng felt a surge of happiness; it was not easy to take on this task. If he carelessly misinterpreted the NPC's background and said something wrong, it could lead to Solin's displeasure and result in missing out on this quest. He glanced at Gao Chao and the others nearby, who were all sighing in disappointment, clearly having failed to secure a task.
Suddenly, Solin showed a hint of fear and said in a slightly low tone, "I originally wanted to find Mr. Xiao Rang myself, but everything here feels strange. I'm afraid to go any further; could you help me deliver my calligraphy to Mr. Xiao Rang?"
Lufeng was thrilled: "Of course!"
After receiving the task, the six-person team wasted no time and quickly headed towards Songyang Academy.
...
As they walked along the way, they saw many abandoned Wooden Dummies. Lufeng carefully avoided these monsters while admiring the beautiful scenery of Songshan. When they were close to reaching Songyang Academy, they stopped again, captivated by the sights before them.
Looking at the towering peaks that took one's breath away and then at the steep cliffs with the Welcoming Pine perched atop them amidst a sea of white mist gave one a feeling of being lost in the clouds.
Seeing such beautiful Songshan, Wang Xiaojing quietly closed her eyes as if enchanted and walked toward the edge of the cliff, murmuring to herself, "It's so beautiful—more beautiful than real Songshan. This trip is truly worth it! Once I level up later, I must come back again; this feeling is just too wonderful."
Murong Xiaoxiao was momentarily stunned, thinking that Wang Xiaojing was about to jump off the cliff. "Xiaojing, are you feeling hopeless?"
Lufeng shook his head. "It's fine, there's an invisible barrier protecting the edge of the cliff! Qiu Han, you all can enjoy the view for a while; we'll do the mission later."
Qiu Han and the others nodded and walked towards the nearby waterfall...
For these routines, Lufeng had long memorized them. Watching Wang Xiaojing immersed in nature, Lufeng felt that this was the most authentic version of Wang Xiaojing. She had completely detached from the clamor of society, freed herself from worldly disputes, let go of all burdens, and released a true inner world. At that moment, Lufeng felt a stir in his heart! Meanwhile, Murong Xiaoxiao seemed to sense Lufeng's feelings; she appeared so lonely at that moment.
At this time, the despicable Gao Chao was also feeling the aura of the Songshan waterfall, fantasizing about being able to come here for a wild battle.
Seeing Gao Chao's expression, Qiu Han looked at him with disdain.
...
A cold wind swept by, and Wang Xiaojing felt something blocking her. When she opened her eyes, she realized she was at the edge of the cliff. Her face turned pale instantly, and she was so frightened that she forgot to call for help, as if she had walked through hell, truly scaring her soul out of her body.
Lufeng gestured for Murong Xiaoxiao to comfort her while he deeply felt the essence of Songshan. He vaguely sensed an impulse to Gather Energy, but it quickly vanished without a trace, leaving him with no choice but to give up.
Watching Murong Xiaoxiao and Wang Xiaojing embrace each other, Lufeng felt a pain in his heart; it was truly difficult to choose. He shook his head and smiled lightly. "Alright, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. We can come here to play when we have time. For now, let's focus on leveling up!"
