The player of the Immortal Child not only cultivated their martial arts to the peak of one-star perfection, but also possessed two Flying Star Swords of Resentment. Each sword increased martial power by two points, and when combined, they provided five points. If he hadn’t mistakenly believed that William Harper had extremely high martial skills and arrogantly turned his back, old Yu would definitely have been utterly defeated.

The Moon Maiden character card’s innate constitution was slightly inferior to the Immortal Child’s, but her martial skills were even stronger. The Flying Snow Drifting Leaf Spear she equipped provided three points of martial power, and the Unfettered Flying Rope even provided five points. Unfortunately, her constitution’s main attribute was spiritual, and the spear that could best utilize her martial skills was used to shoot at William Harper, so she couldn’t withstand the Immortal Child’s sneak attack and was defeated and killed.

There are always pros and cons. The demon race’s character cards have strong innate constitutions, but their weaknesses are also quite obvious. For example, this Immortal Child character card can only equip the Meteor Sword Technique, which is the Immortal Child clan’s own martial art. The Moon Maiden’s restrictions are similar; apart from the Moon Maiden clan’s Flying Snow Drifting Leaf Spear, the only other martial arts she can practice are basic ones, such as the Hundred Transformations Weapon Manual.

This Hundred Transformations Weapon Manual was an unexpected surprise!

Basic fist techniques, palm techniques, finger techniques, sword techniques, saber techniques, spear techniques... there is no distinction between human and demon races.

The Hundred Transformations Weapon Manual, like the Boneless Soft Fist, is a basic martial art. The Boneless Soft Fist is the foundation for six types of unarmed martial arts—fist, palm, claw, finger, leg, and body techniques—while the Hundred Transformations Weapon Manual is the foundation for eighteen types of weapon-based martial arts.

With this one card, you can use any weapon at will.

Of course, it only covers the basic stances of each weapon. After all, the Hundred Transformations Weapon Manual is a basic martial art and cannot make a player a grandmaster of all weapons.

Aside from the Meteor Sword Technique and Flying Snow Spear Technique equipped by the Immortal Child and Moon Maiden, and the Hundred Transformations Weapon Manual, the other martial arts cards obtained were all basic ones like the Shrew’s Eighteen Moves, the Hoeing Method, and the Divine Blacksmithing Skill—nothing particularly interesting.

As for the Shrew’s Eighteen Moves, William Harper would never practice it, even if he died. Not only is this martial art trash, but even at its peak it only increases martial power by three points, and before attacking you have to shout, “Old lady’s Eighteen Crooked Moves!” which is extremely embarrassing.

However, when checking the item cards, there was finally a pleasant surprise: there were actually six cards related to beginner quests, and one related to a hidden quest. William Harper hurriedly used the six beginner quest cards, and sure enough, the light screen prompted him repeatedly—six more beginner quests were completed.

William Harper breathed a slight sigh of relief. Now there were only twenty-two beginner quests left. Although he was still far from finishing them all, at least there was some progress.

As for the item card related to the hidden quest, it turned out to be connected to the feng shui of Huangjia Village—a set of drawing paper and pens, allowing the player to redesign Huangjia Village.

Although William Harper didn’t study architecture, he often browsed architectural materials online, even if it was just to plan the renovation of his future home.

With today’s housing prices, not many people can afford a big house, but almost everyone dreams of a mansion. William Harper often thought, if he could have a house as big as Yuhuatai, how would he arrange the layout? Or if he had the wealth of India’s richest tycoon, and could build himself a skyscraper as a residence, what new technologies would he use? He also paid a lot of attention to various small, artsy, and fresh-style guesthouses, and even considered whether he should give up everything to open a guesthouse and indulge in a romantic lifestyle—but reason always stopped him, and he was content to just imagine.

So this task wasn’t particularly difficult. William Harper casually sketched a new village that could accommodate a thousand people, uploaded it through the light screen, and quickly received system approval.

As soon as William Harper’s light screen prompted him, all the houses in the village collapsed one after another, turning to dust, and all kinds of brand-new buildings sprang up, nestled against the mountains and by the water, arranged in a harmonious layout.

In just over ten minutes, Huangjia Village had taken on a completely new look.

The new Huangjia Village wasn’t exactly the same as William Harper’s drawings. Clearly, the Full-time Martial God system had its own architectural library, and simply matched William Harper’s drawings to select the most suitable set to upgrade the village, rather than using his original version.

William Harper breathed another small sigh of relief. After all, he wasn’t a professional architect and was worried that following his own drawings would result in something ridiculous.

After the new Huangjia Village appeared, William Harper’s light screen prompted him again.

This time, it was one of the chain quests for the new village chief’s trial—a hidden side quest not part of the beginner quests—prompting William Harper whether he wanted to become a “Huangjia Village Villager.”

Of course, William Harper selected “agree,” and the light screen prompted him again: Please choose a residence.

He looked around. The new Huangjia Village was close to the mountains and water, reminding him of an old saying: “Near the mountains, one’s wisdom grows; by the water, one’s mind is clear!”

So William Harper quickly chose a house nestled against the mountain, with a bird’s-eye view of most of Huangjia Village. His selection criteria were actually “big, bigger, biggest…”—this house was the largest and most imposing in the village.

Once William Harper made his choice, the light screen prompted: he had completed the task!
