Further adventures in Xuan Yuan Sword 3:
The story has taken a couple of odd turns as I reached a moving island with some talking statues who were like “Hey did you know you can travel through time?” (as in the main character specifically has this power and he just didn’t realise it). This plot point has yet to be brought up again since it was established. Now I have reached Damascus where I need to stop the usurper of the Caliphate from summoning a demon who can “kill 10000 people in one second”.
There’s an oddly large number of sidequests that revolve around complex mathematical problems. Like a widow whose husband’s will says that if she gives birth to a boy, he gets 2/3 of the property, and she gets 1/3, but if it’s a girl then the daughter gets 1/3 and the mother gets 2/3. But she had twin boy and girl, so how to divide the property?
The third one of these I found was a guy who’s like “my dog went chasing a rabbit and hasn’t come back, if he runs at X mph and has been gone for Y hours, and I run at Z mph, how long will it take to find my dog?”. I wasn’t paying enough attention so I selected “I don’t know” which prompted my guy to say “I dunno maybe you should just go and find your dog instead of overthinking it” which the other guy agreed and gave me a reward, ending the quest.
