I have to get lucky right away.

Chapter 238 The Victory of the Scenery Party
"It should be around here!"

Looking at the game map he had marked, Pink Furry Rabbit showed a smug look on his face. He was a typical scenery enthusiast who liked outdoor sports, but didn't have the guts to do extreme sports.

Ever since he got this virtual game, he has awakened his talent for adventure. He doesn't care about poor gameplay or old-fashioned online games because the game map is realistic and large enough.

Over the years, he has climbed mountains, dived into the sea, jumped off cliffs, and explored caves in the game. Compared to the central city area that everyone is familiar with, he is obviously more familiar with the areas on the edge of the map.

After all, compared to the interactive maps in the center of the large map, the edges are more challenging. The reason for switching to the cultivation profession is that this profession has the most comprehensive performance. It is not as fragile as an assassin, nor as clumsy as a warrior. It is naturally excellent for outdoor sports.

That's why he was curious when the whole nation was searching for the hidden village. He had climbed the northern mountains countless times and knew exactly what was on the map of the north. That's why he believed that if there really was another village, he would definitely be the first to find it.

After roughly touring the northern region, he was dumbfounded to find that there was nothing there.

But just as he began to doubt whether the north the NPC mentioned was simply the north of the fortress, he suddenly realized something was wrong. He suddenly noticed that there seemed to be something amiss when he scanned the map.

As mentioned before, he knew the map of the Northland very well. Just like those racing pros who can memorize every hidden spot on the map, he wouldn't say he knew every single stone by heart, but he knew the location of all the landmarks very well. Even if he were randomly teleported to a certain place in the Northland, he only needed to look around a couple of times to confirm his location without needing the in-game map.

When he was scanning the image, he thought he might have been distracted, but now, looking back, it was clearly a huge flaw!

Returning along the same route, the pink rabbit carefully assessed its distance from the northern mountain peaks, using two uniquely shaped peaks as a reference point for its three-point positioning.

"Sure enough, it should be around here!"

Despite losing his position once again, the pink fluffy rabbit was not discouraged at all. Instead, he was filled with a sense of challenge. He was familiar with the entire Northland. Now that it was unfamiliar, there must be something wrong!
His strong confidence drove him to continuously calibrate using landmarks until sunset and moonrise, when the monster siege ended, and he was still searching through the night.

This game must be able to replace sleep, otherwise he would probably die suddenly from playing it like this.

But heaven rewards the diligent. As the first rays of sunlight rose in the morning, he finally found a flaw. The mountain peak and the light of the rising sun formed a projection like a pointer. He followed the edge of that reflection, not looking at the sky, not looking at the mountain, not looking at the road, but only following the shadow of the mountain. After a strange dizziness that was hard to describe, a feeling of seeing the sun after the clouds parted spontaneously arose.

A small village nestled at the foot of the mountain came into his view.

"found it!"

The pink fluffy rabbit's feelings at this moment were exactly like when he first climbed a mountain and reached the summit in the game. The sense of accomplishment was accompanied by a strange sense of loss, but it quickly turned into a strong curiosity.

What kind of reward could there be in hiding this map after all this effort?

Upon arriving at the village entrance, the pink furry rabbit immediately saw two old men playing chess, surrounded by several other men. At the entrance of the simple house, several middle-aged women were picking vegetables and chatting about village gossip. It seemed not much different from a real village.

"Grandpa, I'd like to ask..." The pink fluffy rabbit had interacted with NPCs quite a bit over the years in its pursuit of extreme sports, so it wasn't socially awkward. After quickly summarizing its thoughts, it approached an old man watching a chess game. However, before it could finish its sentence, the old man impatiently said:
"You're looking for Master Feng, right? He's already told you to just keep walking straight along the road in the middle of the village!"

Having said that, he ignored it and continued to focus his attention on the chessboard.

"Um..." The pink fluffy rabbit glanced at the chessboard, realized it couldn't understand it, and could only shake its head. However, it thought to itself, "It seems that Go is the entertainment of the middle-aged and elderly men in this village. I can try to play Go with them later... Hmm, I don't know how, but I can just open a Go program on the forum! I hope these old men who play Go aren't dogs."

Despite thinking this, the pink fluffy rabbit didn't linger. He knew that many players must be looking for this place. Although he might not care about the so-called rewards, it would make him very unhappy if he could have gotten first place but didn't.

Walking along the dirt road in the village, the pink rabbit came to a place that was neither a Taoist temple nor an ancestral hall. A plaque hung on the door with the three large characters "Siqi Guan" written in regular script. In the front courtyard behind the main gate, there was a huge incense burner. In the main hall behind the incense burner, an offering table could be vaguely seen. Behind various offerings and incense, there were no memorial tablets, only two tablets for "Heaven" and "Earth".

"Only offered to Heaven and Earth... What Zhenyuan Daxian?"

Although Pink Furry Rabbit couldn't be considered an industry insider, he still understood this well-known story. Seeing that the temple only worshipped Heaven and Earth, his understanding of that NPC immediately increased.

"Fellow Daoist, is there anything I can help you with?"

Just as the pink fluffy rabbit was about to enter, it heard a clear voice. Turning around, it saw a young boy dressed in a Taoist robe.

Although he had registered as a cultivator, he didn't know how to speak like a cultivator. After some hesitation, he decided that rather than using a nonsensical language that would only make him a laughingstock, it would be better to start by speaking normally.

So he took a deep breath and replied:

"I am a hero who wants to slay the demonic dragon. A senior once told me that I could come here to find him."

"Oh, Master has already given instructions. Please follow me."

The boy nodded, turned to the side to signal the pink fluffy rabbit to follow, and explained as he walked:

"Since you were able to pass the first test, it means your Qimen Dunjia skills are sufficient. However, to deal with the Demon Dragon, this alone is not enough. Your master used the Demon Dragon's talismans to build four training grounds where you can learn to control and guide your magical power. You should be able to quickly develop combat strength."

"Is it too late for me to say I got in by knowing the way?" The pink fluffy rabbit felt embarrassed, but said aloud:

"Since it's a quick way to achieve results, is there a way that isn't quick?"

To everyone's surprise, as soon as he said this, the boy's eyes lit up, and he immediately nodded and said, "Yes, yes, I'll take you to see it right away!"
