Long Night Jianghu

01 / MODEL

G3.5F is stable, G3F system is more obnoxious

The author mainly uses G3.5F to test plots, status bars, character relationships, shop operations, and long-term events. Players who prefer a more obnoxious and direct system can also try G3F; it's been tested that the system personality will be more lively and obnoxious.

02 / CHARACTER

Set your basic abilities first

It is recommended to briefly describe in the first message whether {{user}} knows martial arts, their area of expertise, and ability limitations, e.g., "Doesn't know martial arts, good at bookkeeping and observation," "Slightly familiar with Qinggong and daggers, average internal energy," "Understands medical principles, but not good at combat." No need to write a complete character sheet; special abilities, bloodlines, physiques, and martial arts not set will not automatically form and can still be learned through apprenticeship, training, and actual experience later.

03 / SHOP

Private shop requires clear operation

The shop can search for and purchase food, clothing, daily necessities, common medicines, tools, materials, travel supplies, and other reasonable goods. Searching, recommendations, and inquiries will display items; after use, they can be returned to the system space.

04 / LIMIT

The shop can be convenient, but cannot break the rules of the world

The shop can provide food, clothing, tools, materials, medicines, first-aid supplies, and enhancement items with clear uses, costs, and limitations, such as improving physique, aiding cultivation, treating specific poisons, or delaying deterioration. Items can be more convenient than commonly seen items of the era, but cannot directly grant immortal cultivation abilities, martial arts enlightenment, skill downloads, storage artifacts, resurrection, or unconditionally solve all poisonings, diseases, cultivation levels, and events.

05 / RELATION

Misty Willow won't fall for you immediately after buying you

Trust and favoritism from Misty Willow will change based on choices, costs, cooperation, concealment, and shared events. Purchasing, cohabiting, intimacy, or a single act of help will not automatically establish feelings; when the relationship truly changes, his arrangements, biases, distance, and way of speaking will also show observable differences.

06 / ACTION

Abilities, status, and limitations all affect the outcome

{{user}} can cooperate, refuse, conceal, escape, negotiate, investigate, or bear the consequences, but servitude status, activity restrictions, injuries, martial arts, supplies, and on-site conditions will still affect actions. Proposing an action does not guarantee success; the system will determine the outcome based on actual conditions.

07 / USER NOTE

It is recommended to use user notes for long-term play

You can record important events, acquired items, learned abilities, character titles, mutual agreements, unfinished investigations, and relationship changes. This can reduce omissions after long-term play and is convenient for continuing side quests and Jianghu records.

08 / WARNING

Refusal, failure, and consequences are not signs of a broken character

When status is restricted, abilities are insufficient, flaws are exposed, rules are broken, or requests exceed a character's willingness, the character may refuse, monitor, suspect, restrict actions, or pursue responsibility. These reactions are part of the world and character settings.

09 / ASK THE SYSTEM

If you don't know what to do next, you can ask the system

You can proactively ask about the current situation, world common knowledge, known abilities, item uses, shop rules, or feasible actions. The system will answer based on established information, occasionally with some obnoxious commentary, but will not make decisions for you, act for you, or create unestablished abilities out of thin air.

SECT AREAS

Places you can go within the Xuanjin Sect

Misty Willow's Residence and Intelligence Department
Living, conversing, accepting arrangements, organizing intelligence, reading documents, and handling affairs assigned by Misty Willow. Some areas involve secrets and cannot be entered unconditionally.

Main Hall and Council Area of the Headquarters
Where the Sect Leader summons, formal reports are made, major orders are given, and departments coordinate. It is not appropriate to enter without an summons, a position, or a valid reason.

Internal Affairs and Pharmacy under Jingyun's Jurisdiction
Receiving medical treatment, clothing, medicine, meals, and daily necessities, and possibly dealing with rituals, storerooms, and internal affairs arrangements.

Training Ground and Areas under Xuanting's Jurisdiction
Observing drills, receiving basic training, testing abilities, or engaging in combat missions. Unauthorized challenges, eavesdropping, or entering restricted areas may result in disciplinary action.

Mountain Gate, Patrol Route, and Jianchen Guard Area
Places where the sect enters and exits the headquarters, escorts are made, patrols are conducted, and defense events occur. Whether you can leave the Xuanjin Sect depends on your servitude status, activity restrictions, and current orders.

Servant Quarters, Kitchen, and Ordinary Living Areas
Dining, resting, gathering information, assisting with chores, and interacting with ordinary disciples. Suitable for developing daily life, work, and minor events that do not involve core secrets.

OUTSIDE ROUTES

Places you can go after leaving the headquarters

Town below the mountain
Inns, teahouses, taverns, banks, pharmacies, cloth shops, blacksmiths, and markets. Suitable for shopping, gathering information, accepting commissions, or observing Jianghu interactions.

Post roads, docks, and trade routes
Traveling, escorting, transporting goods, tracking, encountering bandits, or investigating missing caravans. Travel distance, weather, funds, and injuries will affect actions.

Black markets, underground agencies, and secret exchanges
Purchasing intelligence, tracking human trafficking, dealing with contraband, and interacting with shady elements. Information may be a mix of truth and falsehood, and may attract surveillance or retaliation.

Medical clinics, pharmacies, and wilderness
Seeking medical attention, gathering herbs, identifying poisons, escorting the injured, or searching for rare materials. Characters from Medical Valleys, Medicine Sects, and Poison Clans will only appear in reasonable events and after routes are established.

Other sects and Jianghu strongholds
Tang Sect and other factions are not menu locations that can be reached at any time; direct connections must be formed through travel, invitations, commissions, investigations, or existing events.

ACTION ROUTES

Work and growth directions

How to start when you have no ideas

First, set your abilities → complete Misty Willow's initial arrangements → inquire about the current accessible areas → choose to assist with chores, investigate the surroundings, learn skills, or talk to characters.
You can also directly state specific goals, such as "I want to learn Qinggong," "I want to find a way to earn silver," "I want to investigate the agency," or "I want to ask Misty Willow if I can go down the mountain."
