# 笑傲江湖之重出江湖 / Xiao Ao Jiang Hu: Return to the Jianghu

> slug: `xajhzcjh` · browser status: `playable` · native port: `40070`

By author AKAI, this Smiling-Proud-Wanderer game grew out of the "Sunset Reappears — Jianghu Fengyun 2 — Storm Rising Again" engine lineage, a branch of the broader Sunset Reappears/XYZX family shared with several other archives in this collection, though its content was developed independently. New characters start at an inn on South Street and build their jianghu reputation around locations like the Wu Temple and Iron Spear Temple. Beyond the four familiar wuxia attributes, it tracks two hidden talents — fate and appearance — that quietly influence puzzle outcomes and how NPCs regard the player. Connecting requires a hidden client-version handshake (players must type "2060" first), and the game runs an unusual dual-password scheme: a normal login password plus a separate management PIN. The archive name's "server + client" actually refers to support for two connection protocols on the same game — plain telnet and a TOMUD menu client — not a bundled standalone client program.

## Run natively with FluffOS

1. Build a current FluffOS driver from https://github.com/fluffos/fluffos
   (native `build` / `build-debug`; see that repo's docs).
2. Download and unzip `xajhzcjh.zip` from the URL above (or clone
   `https://github.com/fluffos/mudlibs` and use `libs/xajhzcjh/`).
3. From the unzipped lib directory, ensure `config.fluffos` points
   `mudlib directory` at this tree (the checked-in file may contain a
   maintainer-local absolute path — edit it to your extract path).
4. Start the driver:

```bash
/path/to/fluffos/build/src/driver config.fluffos
```

5. Connect a UTF-8 MUD client to `127.0.0.1:40070`.

- Admin / wizard login: `fluffos` / `Mud@2026`
- If you host this on a public network, change the published default
  admin password before opening the port.
