Chapter 1: Prototype settings and their origins for this book

Setting Name - Book Setting - Prototype Origin - Prototype Setting.

① Three Falls of Cloud Terrace, Sword Howling in Cold River, Swallow Returns to Face the Sun — Used by Mei Qinghe, Huashan Sword Art.

Origin: Online game "Moonlight Blade OL" — Skill and outfit names for the "Taibai" class.

② Plum Blossom Thief — Supporting character in this book.

Origin: Novel "Gai Shi Shuang Xie" by San Tian Liang Jue — Supporting character.

PS: Jue-ge is one of my favorite authors on Qidian. In terms of talent, Huang Gua feels like the "Wu Lin Myth" among web novel authors.

It’s a pity he only updates three days out of two... "Sword God's Smile" has been laughing for half a year... Huang Gua particularly likes the book "Gai Shi Shuang Xie," so I used this supporting character's name as a form of tribute.

Of course, the character's core, personality, and experiences are original, not plagiarism, so everyone need not worry.

③ How is Mount Tai — Used by Zuo Lishan, Mount Tai Sword Art.

Origin: Jin Yong's novel "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" — Mount Tai Sword Art: "This move can be considered the most profound masterpiece of the Mount Tai Sect's sword art. Its essence lies not in the right-hand sword strikes, but in the calculations of the left hand. The left hand constantly calculates with its fingers, counting the enemy's position, martial arts sect, height, weapon size, the angle of sunlight, and so on. The calculation is extremely complex. Once calculated accurately, one strikes with the sword, and it never misses."

④ Xiao Si — Supporting character in this book.

Origin: Manhua "The Outcast" — Temp worker arc, Chen Duo.

PS: Sigh, using Chen Duo as this prototype actually stems from a desire to give her a perfect ending within my own writing.

A little willful, a little greedy, a little spoiled little girl—if Chen Duo could be reincarnated, Huang Gua hopes she could be like this.

⑤ Gu-worm Centipede — Gu-worm raised by the Ge Pu clan.

Origin: Game "Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice" — Guardian Ape.

PS: Everyone should easily be able to spot the prototype. That damn second phase back then scared me so much I threw my controller...

That’s all for now; I will update this if more appear later. If you are interested in any of the settings, you can go try out the prototypes~
