Chapter 5: Pie From The Heavens
With the good fortune granted to her by her Luck stat, it took Shen Jingbin but a moment to plete her quest. She threw all of the rabbits she caught into her backpack and hurried back to the novice village.
When she reached the Village Chief's house, there just so happened to be a few new players receiving their novice rewards. When they turned their heads to look at her, they were so startled by her appearance that their legs felt weak and they nearly sank to their knees in front of the Village Chief.
Someone quietly cursed, "F*ck, she's definitely a special kind of ugly. She's so ugly she's practically setting a new standard for it."
Shen Jingbin glanced at the player who cursed her without saying a word. After which, she silently walked to the side and sat on a chair. The Village Chief still had an unfathomable look on his face. When she came in, he cast a sidelong glance at her before returning his attention to the players in front of him.
After all, he was a petent NPC that carried out his tasks well.
While sitting on the chair, Shen Jingbin heard the Village Chief gloomily reciting his script to the players. However, she had a feeling that his words were delivered a little faster than usual, breaking the unique aura of a mysterious expert that he previously exuded.
Of course, this might all just be in her head.
In the blink of an eye, the Village Chief finished his speech and sent off the new players. The player who quietly cursed Shen Jingbin had his novice reward revoked, which led to him ruthlessly spitting in front of her as he walked past.
Shen Jingbin wondered if there was something wrong with him.
After the new players departed, without waiting for him to speak, Shen Jingbin took out the rabbits and passed them over to the Village Chief.
The Village Chief wore an expression that seemed to say "this child can be taught" as he looked at her and said, "Sure enough, heroes are born from youths. Consider this time as me owing you a favor. If the day I fully recover and return to the Swordmaster Pavilion es, I'll prepare another meager gift to return the kindness that you've shown me today."
Shen Jingbin waved her hand and replied, "There's no need for you to do such a thing, you recovering is enough for me."
Several rabbits turned into a streak of white light and disappeared into the Village Chief's palm. He looked up at her and said, "Take out the wooden remendation plaque that I gave you before ."
"Eh?" Shen Jingbin eyed him suspiciously.
"That plaque is far too ordinary, I'll give you a new one. With your level of Luck, it'll be the good fortune of any sect you enter. I'll have to inform the disciples of the reception hall first. At the same time, I know it's selfish of me to ask, but I'd like you to join the Swordmaster Pavilion."
Yeah right, I wanna be a Daoist nun!
Shen Jingbin silently rebuked him while she obediently exchanged her wooden remendation plaque for a brand new one.
This new wooden plaque in her hands looked about the same as the previous one, but it included several additional white cloud patterns. There was also some traditional Chinese characters carved in the lower left hand corner of the plaque. On closer inspection, she could make out the words "Bai Hua" 1 inscribed on it.
Almost as if he could read her mind, Bai Hua spoke up, "Bai Hua is my name."
Shen Jingbin cautiously placed the wooden plaque into her storage pouch and said, "Thank you Village Chief, I hope you get well soon. I'll be taking my leave first."
Bai Hua nodded his head and replied, "The road ahead is filled with peril and countless hidden dangers. I can't give you much help now. At present, I can only give you some life saving items. You should take good care of yourself for the time being."
After finishing what he wanted to say, without waiting for Shen Jingbin to reply, several white streaks of light flashed out from his body. "Ding
