Chapter 9: The Invincible Me… Lost Again
“The invincible me… lost again…”
Wearing form-fitting silver-white armor, her hair in a high ponytail, and carrying dual blades like a boss—this striking young woman was charging through a thick jungle.
“Ugh, I give up!”
“What is this nonsense mechanic?”
“Seriously, after I’ve possessed her, not even a glance at the map is allowed?”
By the time the girl saw the same stand of crimson maples for the fifth time, the rage that had been bubbling inside her finally erupted.
“Oh no! Why can’t I escape this mountain forest?”
“Argggh, so frustrating! Why is this character’s sense of direction so bad? This makes me so mad!”
【Introduction: A Woman Swordsman from the East: Little Musashi】
【Since childhood, she followed a master to study the dual blade style, combined with the philosophy of the Harmony School, allowing her to unleash wind-like blade techniques.
Trait: She has three lives.
Weakness: Completely hopeless with directions.】
【Rank: Bronze】
【This character card can be upgraded to Silver.
Requirements for upgrading: 60 spirit gems. Currently collected 9/60】
Indeed, this was the character card Lin Nan had drawn from her upgraded bronze-level lottery system, after spending a cool 5,000 Cold Value Points.
While this card fell short of Wei Wenxuan’s quality from her earlier draws, Little Musashi made up for it with her resilience. With three lives, she didn’t just save wear and tear on the main account—she also accumulated spirit gems necessary for both the main account’s and her own upgrades.
At this rate, Lin Nan was confident that it wouldn’t take long before Little Musashi achieved the silver-level quality just like Wei Wenxuan.
Wouldn’t it be great if the system could spit out more of these balanced, approachable cards?
Alas, after drawing Little Musashi, Lin Nan’s points were almost depleted.
Thankfully, she didn’t have to keep hopping into some rugged uncle to grind monsters anymore.
A flexible and delicate girl body—wasn’t that far more appealing?
Having gotten used to her primary account, Lin Nan felt an odd sense of ease as she possessed Little Musashi, making her melancholic over the inevitable return to her original form…
Because Little Musashi suffered from poor sense of direction, the thoughtful game system didn’t even offer her a map!
What was this nonsense?
The game continent was already vast just in the human realm, and without system maps, traversing was practically impossible.
Ever since Lin Nan had taken control of Little Musashi,
All she had done for two days was aimlessly wander around this area.
All she wanted was a thorough investigation of this wild area, but why was it so difficult?
The system must’ve set it up this way on purpose, probably to stop her from moving her character card around too frequently.
【Once a character card enters a new wild area, it must fully map it before transferring to another region.】
Worse, there was no map at all for Little Musashi.
This was a paradox.
To entrust someone utterly lacking in a sense of direction to map out an area?
It would likely take a decade or longer to even emerge from the wildest jungle.
After failing countless times,
Lin Nan decided to try one last time,
And if it failed, she’d switch control of Little Musashi to standby mode, then manipulate Wei Wenxuan to arrive from afar. Mark a trail, then lead Little Musashi back.
However, she didn’t want to.
Wei Wenxuan was currently grinding levels in another mountain filled with monsters.
If she interrupted him, wouldn’t that slow her progression?
Just when Little Musashi thought she was lost for good and despairing,
She suddenly heard a cacophony of cries from the nearby forest—”Chirp chirp ga!”
Huh? Big Mountain Monkeys had been avoiding her on sight lately—what brought their excitement today?
Could it be…
A New Player?
Whether it was an NPC or another player,
As long as she found them, an escape would soon be in sight.
Pleased,
Little Musashi immediately drew her dual blades and rushed into where the monkeys lived, following the sound.
Thankfully, she arrived just in time.
Two swipes later, the elite monster was dispatched, saving two players who were almost down for the count.
Wait a sec. That player wearing a dog’s head… why does he look so familiar?
Isn’t that Strong Brother?
She had been watching his game tutorials before entering Sky Sword City as a male character.
And the girl beside Strong Brother…
Unfamiliar…
She seemed a bit face-blind to any woman whose looks weren’t up to par with hers.
…
“Excuse me, where am I?”
When the girl clothed in traditional eastern attire asked the question, it took Strong Brother a moment to respond.
“This is Mirror Mountain.”
The girl suddenly blushed shyly.
“Could you, if possible, show me around Mirror Mountain? I believe I’m lost.”
“Uh…sure.”
The audience watching in the live streaming room, with bulging eyes, lost their composure at this sight.
“Bro, what are you doing!?”
“This strong girl is so cute when lost… Love! Love!”
“Rain, keep an eye on your Strong Brother. We can’t let this NPC swoon him!”
“Exactly, Strong Brother is Rain’s. This lost girl belongs to us!”
It was unclear if the comments influenced Cold Little Rain, but she approached the girl, bowed low, and said, “Cold Little Rain thanks you for your life-saving grace. May I inquire your name?”
“I’m Little Musashi.”
“Certainly, Miss Little Musashi, how very pleasant. There are many fiends at Mirror Mountain. Without your swift aid, both Strong Brother and I would already be dead. Joining us for a tour is fine, but we fear we might only be a burden to you.”
Little Musashi patted the hilt of her blade.
“Not a problem, they’re the ones I’ve been waiting for.”
Cold Little Rain gave Strong Brother a meaningful glance.
He caught on immediately, “Miss Little Musashi, this time we came to Treasure Mountain mainly to explore a yet undiscovered cave heaven.”
“Small Cave Heaven?”
“Correct. A Small Cave Heaven is another dimension possibly filled with treasures, and even if you acquire just one, it might benefit you for life.”
Little Musashi blinked.
The meaning here was clear: these gamers wanted to invite her to adventure together.
Should she accept?
With three lives, it wouldn’t hurt to check it out.
“These two streamers are slick.”
“I thought Little Cold Rain was a straightforward girl. But upon seeing Little Musashi’s skills, she immediately teamed up with that wily Strong Brother to rope her into their schemes.”
“You meet people but can’t always predict their motives.
I love it, haha!”
“Exciting. But I fear that girl will regret her choice carrying these two anchors.”
“True that.”
But just as the internet crowd expected her to falter dragging along these “deadweights,”
The sight of Little Musashi taking the lead, mowing down any wild beasts in her path—whether regular monsters or elites—all slain in an instant, left the audience speechless.
Strong Brother, fess up!
How many pirated videos did you download featuring this invincible beauty?
Didn’t you clean out the entire store’s toilet paper supply trying to catch her!?
