Chapter 453 Perfection
In a small, unremarkable village nestled in the green mountains.

Four villagers were playing mahjong around a square table in a room.

The two villagers had pipes dangling from their mouths, puffing out smoke that filled the house with smog.

The remaining two, smoking secondhand smoke, remained calm.

Snapped--

"Three of bamboo!"

"eat!"

"forty thousand"

"forty thousand"

……

One villager lifted his arm, revealing a dark-colored green snake tattoo.

They were not ordinary villagers, but people like the village chief of Qingshou Village, a few followers of the Green Snake Lord.

However, compared to the village chief of Qingshou Village, these individuals were even more of a slacker.

He is a follower of the Green Snake Lord who believes in a "laissez-faire" attitude, thinking only of living his own life and being comfortable.

"It's been a bit chaotic in Qingshan lately! There's hardly anyone left in the village."

"Indeed, I reckon another Green Snake follower will make a move. It's like one group leaves and another comes."

"In my fifty years of life, I've seen this kind of thing far too many times. Every time it's dealt with hastily, but every time someone dies. It's truly a tragedy!"

"If you ask me, the way we're handling it now is the best. We understand things clearly, and we're more comfortable with ourselves."

"Watching the fire from across the river, barely managing to survive."

"That evil god is too powerful. Not to mention him, his minions are beyond our ability to deal with."

"Now, there may only be one way to defeat it: for a stronger true god to arrive. There is no other way!"

"I wonder if my old bones will be able to live to see that day!"

"There is another possibility: the return of the Green Snake Lord. We should have a chance of winning then. Moreover, this would be even more advantageous for us. We would definitely be able to turn the tables and become the best of the best."

There are very few true followers of the Green Snake within the Green Mountain area right now.

Yet they still worship the Green Snake Lord—what a noble and loyal spirit!
It's like betting on a game where the odds are low but the payouts are high.

"The Green Serpent Lord has returned... Could it be that you're referring to that legend? It's said that the Green Serpent Lord didn't die completely; her spirit still lingers within Green Mountain. If we can find it, we can help the Green Serpent Lord return and regain control of Green Mountain!"

"Tsk! If someone can accomplish this and help Lord Green Snake make a comeback, what a great achievement that would be! They'd be able to walk around Green Mountain with their head held high from now on!"

"Hey! Don't think about all this nonsense. What does it have to do with us? We need to know our own limitations!"

"I won! Self-draw! Hahaha! Pay up, pay up!"

"Damn it! It's all your fault! You had to keep talking about the Green Snake Lord, which made me play the wrong card just now!"

"Yes, yes, it distracts me."

"Stop talking nonsense, one family gets four times the multiplier, sixteen times the maximum, that's it!"

……

Hua Hua Hua——

After a reshuffle, a new game began, and their topics of conversation also started to change.

Let's switch to other everyday family matters, like firewood, rice, oil, and salt.

The reason why people are unwilling to become true believers in evil gods is that once they believe in evil gods, their personalities will be distorted.

They could see the state of those villagers; they were all neurotic, often getting stuck on various trivial matters, making themselves very miserable, which was quite awkward.

They didn't hold the Green Snake Lord in much respect, pursuing a relaxed and joyful lifestyle; they were a unique group of hedonists.

……

Su Ming, facing the waterfall, went upstream alone.

The water here has a kind of spirit, giving him a sense of warmth. It actively flows around him, reducing the resistance to Su Ming's forward movement.

Wang has fallen far behind him.

Watching Su Ming's progress, he was unaware that the water here was being treated differently, and instead felt a sense of defeat, muttering to himself, "It seems I'm about to fall behind him."

"You must work harder and strive for improvement so you don't fall too far behind!"

He looked at the cocoon of light, which became brighter and brighter under the washing of the water, and its flashing frequency also increased.

The weasel inside seemed to have reached a crucial moment; once it passed this hurdle, it could successfully emerge from its cocoon.

Even without this cocoon of light, he didn't think he could go much further.

Su Ming finally arrived directly beneath the waterfall, lowered his center of gravity, and firmly assumed a horse stance, letting the falling water pelt him.

The immense impact caused him excruciating pain all over his body, as if a giant were raising its fist and relentlessly pounding him.

The Azure Serpent Transformation Dragon Technique seemed to be stimulated, and its operation became even smoother and more effortless.

He quickly absorbed and refined the power of the green snake from the green seal, simultaneously healing his injuries and rebuilding his physical abilities.

It's like a piece of steel mixed with impurities, which is constantly forged at high temperatures to remove the impurities.

After a quarter of an hour, the first set of bluestone steps appeared behind the waterfall.

Su Ming stood on the steps, persisting and waiting.

Fifteen minutes later, new steps appeared again, and he continued to step on them.

This process continued nine times.

When the ninth step appeared, Su Ming's muscles were like fine blue jade, with fine strands of energy flowing through them.

[Physical Attributes: Mid-Transcendent Level (27.985 times that of a standard adult human)]

Suddenly, a blue light burst forth, and his physical attributes soared.

Breaking the 30 mark in one go.

It reached 32.255 times the standard human physical fitness.

He had completely refined the three azure seals, and the Azure Serpent Transformation Dragon Technique had also been brought to perfection.

If it were the Green Snake Lord himself, and he cultivated the Green Snake Dragon Transformation Technique to perfection, he would gain the strength of the late-stage extraordinary realm. However, Su Ming is still far from reaching the late stage.

Even though it's the same set of techniques, the speed, upper limit, and lower limit will all differ depending on the person learning and practicing it.

If people from the same world and region are like this, then the gap between him, a player from Earth, and the characters in the dungeon world is naturally vast.

However, Su Ming believed that, under the same level, players should be stronger than most story characters.

After all, improving a player's strength is extremely difficult, so naturally, there will be rewards after success.

Behind the last stone step lies a cave.

The words "Green Mountain Water Curtain Cave Heaven" are carved at the entrance of the cave.

The air here is filled with an extremely rich power of the green snake.

Unfortunately, he had already perfected the Azure Serpent Transformation Technique, so he no longer needed the power of the Azure Serpent.

He entered the cave and saw a stone table inside. A woman in a green dress with a fleeting figure and an exquisite appearance sat in front of the stone table, curiously looking him over: "Who are you? How did you get in here? No outsiders have come in since I came in."
