The Fourth Disaster: People become gods through high martial arts and gaming

Chapter 121: Shop System and Newbies Online (Long Chapter)

Blue Star, Gao Wu's arrival official forum.

As the post about the official version update was pinned to the top, the players who were originally madly discussing the Battle to Defend Red Moon Mountain couldn't help but click in to check it out.

Version Update 1.11 Announcement.

Update content: Modified some bugs in the game, optimized the scene of the Red Moon Mountain map and the player entry restrictions, and added new gameplay to attract more users. The specific content is as follows.

1. Added 50 new test players.

2. The shop system is online. Red Moon Mountain will open shop purchasing rights in three days. Players can sell various items at will after owning a shop. They can hire NPCs for daily management, which increases the chances of attracting NPCs to purchase goods. (Note: The martial arts hall only collects 10% income tax from shops)

3. Players no longer need to reach the Apprentice level to go to Red Moon Mountain. They only need to be a Quasi-Apprentice to go. (Note: Red Moon Mountain is a dangerous outdoor map and is not recommended for low-level players.)
……

"This game manufacturer is so hardworking. They've already updated new content in just a few days. They're definitely the most hardworking game manufacturer I've ever seen. Please give me a spot to play. I'm definitely going to play this game."

"Fuck, they've opened a shop system this time. Those who like to do business are in luck, but this 10% income tax is a bit of a rip-off."

"You think 10% income tax is a rip-off? You probably don't know how high the income tax is for setting up a stall in Red Moon Mountain. Every single item you sell is subject to a 20% income tax. It's simply unbearable."

"But this shop is really cool. You can actually hire NPCs to manage it. I wonder if you can hire some pretty big sisters. If you can, I'll hire ten of them and make a fortune just by lying down every day."

"Brother, do you want the weapons and protective gear of the hairy gorilla beauty? I have a lot here and can sell them to you cheaply."

……

The sudden version update on the entire official forum has sparked heated discussions among both old and new players, especially the new players, who all feel that this new version is simply amazing.

Previously, you had to become an apprentice to go to the new map, Red Moon Mountain, but now you only need to be a quasi-apprentice. This will undoubtedly allow new players to earn points faster. In addition, with the opening of the shop system, new players can buy cheaper weapons and equipment, experience the feeling of using weapons early, and speed up the improvement of combat power.

The only drawback is that if you want to trade with Gao Wu, you need to buy a smart watch first, otherwise you will not be able to trade with other players.

"Sister Wu, everything I said is true. There is a new huge force behind the Great Ape Gang. According to the three-eyed female NPC, that force is the Gorilla Gang in the suburbs. They are unfathomable in strength and have a great influence in the suburbs. Our martial arts school is likely to face off against that Gorilla Gang." Ragnarok said excitedly.

"According to the plot you described, this may indeed be a version preview that the game manufacturer has quietly hinted at." Luo Wushang nodded, and couldn't help but become a little interested.

"I suspect the game makers are planning something big, especially with the current version update, which has opened up the shop system. This will significantly speed up new players' progression. Game makers never do useless things, and this is likely to help us players better deal with this new enemy force." Ragnarok analyzed, "Plus, with the number of players added this time, this new enemy force might open up large, high-level raids, requiring a significant number of people to conquer."

"I think so, otherwise the game manufacturer wouldn't have to update the version so quickly." Zhang Qingwei, who was standing nearby, agreed. "The power of Warrior-level bosses is obvious to all, but from what that three-eyed female NPC said, this gorilla gang has B-level armor that can suppress Warriors. With such high-level equipment, the level of this dungeon must be very high. It's probably a high-difficulty team dungeon designed for players who have reached Warrior level."

When the Tianwei members present heard about the high-level equipment, they all became excited and expectant.

The B-class series of armor is high-level equipment prepared for warriors no matter how you look at it. If you can get it as soon as you become a warrior, you will definitely become the number one among players, and you will be able to widen the gap with other forces in an instant, and enhance Tianwei's prestige and status in the high-level martial arts world.

When the time comes and high-level warriors arrive and the guild system is activated, Tianwei will be able to attract more players to join, allowing Tianwei to grow faster with the arrival of high-level warriors.

"Furthermore, the Gorilla Gang, behind the Great Ape Gang, is a major suburban gang with a strong influence in the City of Light. It's likely that the Obsidian Martial Arts School will have a hard time doing business there. They've suddenly launched a shop system, allowing players to purchase shops on Crimson Moon Mountain," Ragnarok continued. "At this rate of development, the Obsidian Martial Arts School, in its fight against the Gorilla Gang, will likely turn Crimson Moon Mountain into a town to increase their influence and power. I suggest that we buy up some prime shops that will open in three days. That way, as the number of players and NPCs increases, these shops will surely become increasingly valuable."

"Build it into the first player town?" Luo Wushang couldn't help but fall into deep thought. After thinking for a few seconds, she immediately ordered, "If that's the case, there are two things we need to do now. The first is that we need to be promoted to Warrior as soon as possible so that we can be the first to attack the Gorilla Gang before other teams."

"The second thing is to set up a stall to sell the spoils as soon as possible in the next few days. It doesn't matter if the price is a little low. As long as I can buy a shop with a gold status, I can make double the money back."

"Qingwei, you will be responsible for the first task. Find a way to mobilize more people from the guild headquarters so that more people can enter the High Martial Arts Arrival to earn points. This will also give us more time to train and improve in the secret realm."

"Zhu Shen, you will be responsible for the second task. No matter what, you must buy those prime-location shops before other teams do."

Knowing that Crimson Moon Mountain would be developed into the first player town, anyone who was not a fool would understand that these shops in the central location would definitely become very valuable in the future.

If we buy them now, they will surely become a fortune in the future. However, the prices of these shops in central locations are definitely not cheap. Considering the black market style of the martial arts school, the Tianwei team probably cannot afford them with their current financial resources. They need to cash in the spoils as soon as possible to raise funds to purchase the shops.

Following Luo Wushang's instructions, the Tianwei members present also took action.

"I hope I can catch up." Luo Wushang looked at the people leaving and felt a lot of pressure as the vice president of Tianwei.

In her eyes, the other two teams of Gaowu Linjiang are not competitors at all. Once Gaowu Linjiang is launched in public beta, Tianwei, which has a profound foundation, cannot be compared with any individual team. The two sides are not in the same league at all.

It was just that Fang Zhen, Yiye Fuyun and the others regarded Tianwei as their rival. They had no idea that in her eyes, this was just a small fight, and Tianwei's real rival was not Gaowu coming down at all.

Nowadays, Pilgrimage is declining day by day, and the big guilds that developed in Pilgrimage have also begun to set their sights on new games. If they cannot grow stronger as soon as possible before the arrival of high-level martial arts and are not targeted by the big guilds, the difficulty of growing stronger in the future will definitely be ten or even a hundred times higher than it is now.

While the players on the Red Moon Mountain were caught up in a frenzy of raising money, on the Blue Star, in Jiangnan City.

In the city center, a magnificent building with 300 floors stands like a giant on the most prosperous street in Jiangnan City, overlooking the city's megacity with a population of over 30 million. It is also one of the landmark buildings in Jiangnan City.

Paradise Building!

The headquarters of Myth Heaven, one of the five major pilgrimage guilds.

Although it was dark at this time, the building was brightly lit. More than 100,000 guild members of Myth Heaven were either undergoing daily special training in the building, or fighting on the front lines of the pilgrimage, organizing various management tasks and activities within the pilgrimage, just like a super large enterprise.

At this time, in the conference hall on the top floor, several core senior executives of Myth Heaven gathered together.

"Fan Chen, why did you suddenly call us here for a meeting? Is there something wrong?" A dignified man who was nearly sixty years old but looked only in his forties looked at a young man with a crew cut sitting at the conference table, with some questioning in his words.

Lu Fanchen!
A super genius of the Mythological Paradise, a genius master who is as famous as Tianwei's Luo Wushang in the pilgrimage, and also the youngest elder of the Mythological Paradise.

If Lu Fanchen hadn't suddenly called this meeting, he, the president, would never have come.

"President, I recently found out that Tianwei has invested a considerable amount of resources in a new game called High Martial Arts Coming." Lu Fanchen explained, "I wasn't too concerned about this game at first. After all, the game's publicity claims it's 100% virtual, which is hard to believe. But after experiencing the assessment test of High Martial Arts Coming, and seeing Tianwei Luo Wushang and Zhao Hu join the team, I feel it's imperative that we at Myth Heaven also join High Martial Arts Coming as soon as possible."

"Is this game really that powerful?" Guild President Kong Yuanhai was a little surprised. "You should know that we are already fully preparing for the Eternal Immortal Road. You should know the importance of this game better than I do."

"President, I know this is sudden, but Gaowu Arrival is truly remarkable. Just looking at the testing and assessments, its virtuality is already on par with Immortal Path Eternal. Tianwei's Vice President, Luo Wushang, has even brought Elder Zhao Hu with him. I imagine Gaowu Arrival will be just as popular as Immortal Path Eternal in the future," Lu Fanchen said firmly. "Now that news of Immortal Path Eternal has leaked, I'm afraid many major guilds and powerful forces have set their sights on Immortal Path Eternal. Once the public beta begins, the competition will undoubtedly surpass that of all other virtual games in China."

"So I think instead of putting all our hopes on Immortal Path Eternal, we should allocate some resources to High Martial Arts Descendants. That way, even if we can't reach the level of a pilgrim on Immortal Path Eternal, we still have High Martial Arts Descendants as a backup."

"Okay, I understand." After thinking for a moment, President Kong Yuanhai took a deep breath and said, "How many people do you want?"

Just as Lu Fanchen said, now that the news of Immortal Path Eternal has leaked out, many top guilds have learned about the special features of Immortal Path Eternal. Many guilds of popular masterpiece games will probably move into Immortal Path Eternal. Even their Myth Heaven does not have much confidence that they can become a giant force in Immortal Path Eternal.

"I need at least two elders and 100,000 guild masters. Take advantage of today's update of the Gaowu Descent version and enter it as soon as possible." Lu Fanchen said without hesitation.

"You're really ruthless. You want two elders at once." Kong Yuanhai didn't hesitate for too long and said directly, "Okay, I will let the two elders go with you. As for 12 masters, it's impossible. The time is too short. The most I can organize for you is members before o'clock."

"Thank you, President." Lu Fanchen nodded, obviously very satisfied with the current result.

"Okay, go and get ready." Kong Yuanhai waved his hand, quite helpless.

Although Lu Fanchen spoke with great righteousness, Kong Yuanhai knew very well that Lu Fanchen wanted to defeat Luo Wushang. After all, the two were two geniuses of the same generation and had never been able to determine who was better. Now that Lu Fanchen knew that Luo Wushang had switched to Gaowu and came down to fight, he naturally wanted to compete with her.

In the Obsidian Martial Arts School, the full moon hangs high in the sky.

Lin Qi led three medium-sized transport vehicles and returned to the martial arts hall with a new batch of energy ores.

"With these three trucks of energy ore, it shouldn't be a problem to transform twenty rest houses in one go." Lin Qi glanced at the players who were transporting energy ore and lamented that the Obsidian Martial Arts School had too few people.

He is seriously short of people now.

Not to mention the manpower needed to build various houses and shops on Chiyue Mountain, just to manage Chiyue Mountain in the future will require at least hundreds of people, otherwise it will be impossible to maintain public security in the trading area of ​​Chiyue Mountain. In addition, mining energy veins will also require a large number of people. Once players become warriors in the future, the demand for energy ores will be very staggering, and preparations must be made in advance.

And neither of these two things can be left to outsiders.

The current 110 players really wouldn’t be enough even if they were split in half.

At 2 a.m., in the quiet confinement room of the Obsidian Martial Arts School, figures took shape in the void, and in the blink of an eye, they filled several confinement rooms.

Another batch of newbies are officially online.
