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

Chapter 130: A small step for the player, a giant leap for Obsidian
"Are they going to join?"

Lin Qi was quite surprised after hearing this. He never expected that Flo and others would not even want to give up the Qingque Gang and would want to join the Obsidian Martial Arts School.

Is the treatment in the Qingque Gang really that bad?
A position of deputy gang leader, just give it up like that?
"They applied to join yesterday, but since you've been away, the matter has been put on hold," Zhang Qingwei explained. "Now they're all helping manage the homeless housing construction and maintaining law and order in the trading area. There are too many homeless people setting up stalls here. Yesterday alone, we had 2,000 stalls set up. Even if we increase it to 3,000 today, it still isn't enough. We're limited in number and can't handle it all, so we've had to ask Deputy Gang Leader Flo to help manage it."

"Aren't three thousand stalls enough?" Meng Wei on the side couldn't help but gasp.

In order to compete for the management fees of the thousands of shops on Nanxing Street, the Tiexin Gang has been fighting desperately, and is even willing to gamble the gang's future with a battle with the Shuangtou Gang.

With three thousand stalls, this scale is comparable to some small towns in the wild.

The Obsidian Martial Arts School doesn't have to do anything. It just collects stall fees from 3,000 stalls every day and makes a lot of money.

If we calculate the fee for one stall a little less, 1800 bits a day, then the fee for stalls would be bits a day, or million bits a month, which is enough for an entire Nanxing Street.

These are just the stall fees. The bulk of the revenue at the transit market has always been from the resale of goods from shops, and the amount is generally five or six times that of the stalls. After all, most of the vagrants who come here want to sell their items to the management forces in exchange for some daily necessities, and only a few are willing to set up stalls.

This means that the Obsidian Martial Arts School's monthly income can reach 100 million bits, which is several times higher than the monthly income of the entire Iron Heart Gang.

"Okay, let them join." Lin Qi thought about it and felt that Flo was indeed a management talent, especially since the players only knew the human language, unlike Flo who knew several languages. Managing the stalls in Red Moon Mountain would indeed be much easier. "From now on, let them manage the stalls in the trading area. As for their treatment, let's treat them the same as they did in the Green Bird Gang."

"I understand." Zhang Qingwei nodded, then pointed to an open-air stall not far away and said, "It's morning, owner. Do you want to go over there for dinner? That stall is a restaurant we opened, and it's very popular with some passing caravans."

"Okay, I'll try the food you cook." Lin Qi took a look at the stall. He didn't expect that players would start such a business. The stall was crowded with people, and he could even see many quasi-warriors eating there. The food should taste good.

Although the technology in the high-tech world is very advanced, ordinary people mostly eat synthetic food. The rich eat fast food, and the more luxurious ones eat blood rice and extremely expensive organic vegetables.

Although he has a lot of bits on hand now, he only eats some instant noodles in the martial arts hall to improve the taste, and mostly eats to replenish energy.

Then Zhang Qingwei led Lin Qi and the other three to find a table in the stall and sit down.

"Excuse me, what does this point mean? How many bits are it equal to?" Qiao Hanlan looked at the food on the menu. It was simple, just barbecued meat with blood rice. It was a very common food in the wild camp and there was nothing special about it. However, the points on the menu made him a little confused.

A serving of barbecued rice costs 100 points. What the hell is this price?

"This is the currency used by our Obsidian Martial Arts School," Zhang Qingwei explained. "You can think of it as one point per bit."

"One hundred bits? A serving of barbecue and rice?" Qiao Hanlan was also surprised.

It's not like he hasn't eaten barbecue rice before. Many restaurants in the suburbs have it, but it only costs about thirty dollars, which is already very expensive.

He had never seen a hundred-bit barbecue rice even in a restaurant in the city.

As Meng Wei's disciple, his status in the Tiexin Gang is not low. He earns 20,000 bits a month, which makes him one of the wealthy people in the suburbs. Most ordinary people only earn 3,000 to 4,000 bits a month.

If I really had to eat a hundred pounds of grilled meat and rice every day, I would not be able to survive.

"One point, one bit?" Lin Qi was stunned upon hearing this. He had originally made ten points equal to one bit for convenience. The main reason was that he didn't have much resources to redeem for players, so he used points as a blank check to give players some motivation.

But I didn't expect that when I arrived at the Red Moon Mountain, players could actually upgrade one point to one bit. With so many nomads coming to eat, no one had any objection?
"Then let's have one each." Meng Wei glared at Qiao Hanlan, thinking that Qiao Hanlan was making a fuss. Although it was a bit expensive, it was still worth it.

"Okay! Five servings of barbecue rice!" Zhang Qingwei immediately greeted the Tianwei members who were cooking.

In less than ten minutes, five servings of barbecue rice were placed in front of Lin Qi and others.

Lin Qi started eating without caring. After all, all game was the same to him. He just wanted to taste the meat. But after Meng Wei and the other two took a bite of the barbecue, they were stunned. They looked at each other with shock in their eyes.

"You...your barbecue is made of monster meat?" Qiao Hanlan couldn't help but ask Zhang Qingwei.

Although he only took a bite, the energy brought by the meat was very rich. It was exactly the same as the monster meat he had eaten at the Tiexin Gang's celebration banquet, and even better.

Just by eating this monster meat, Qiao Hanlan could feel his body cells becoming active. If he could eat one meal a day, the speed at which his physical fitness and qi and blood would improve would be much faster.

However, most of the monster meat is obtained by warriors hunting, and almost all of it has been collected by major forces in the city. There is very little monster meat circulating on the market. It can be said that it is difficult to buy it even if you are really rich.

The monster meat of their Tiexin Gang was all hunted with great difficulty by the gang leaders who gathered their strength. Many people were lost in each hunt, and the gang leaders only got a small amount each time.

Although he was the deputy gang leader's disciple, he was lucky enough to eat it three or four times a month, while other gang members were lucky enough to eat it once a month.

"Well, the food in our Tianwei Restaurant has always been of good quality and low price. 100 points is definitely worth it." Zhang Qingwei introduced.

"Master Lin, can you let outsiders eat the monster meat here?" Meng Wei glanced at the stall full of people and looked at Lin Qi in shock.

If monster meat is placed in a suburban gang, it can be said to be the foundation of a gang, allowing the gang to cultivate more masters.

Therefore, the gangs that obtain monster meat will never sell it to others.

It is hard to imagine that the Obsidian Martial Arts School actually sells monster meat openly in the wild, and even lets the homeless people who come here eat it. This is simply crazy.

Although Meng Wei also knew that it was not difficult for the Obsidian Martial Arts School to obtain monster meat, the two crocodile-toothed rhinos at the mountain gate were the best examples, but Meng Wei still found it hard to imagine that Lin Qi would be so generous.

You have to know that with so much monster meat, just by cultivating your own forces, you can cultivate countless quasi-warriors. As long as a period of time passes, any suburban gang will be a joke.

"Buying and selling are free in Chiyue Mountain. As long as someone can afford it, we will of course sell it." Lin Qi looked at the shocked and surprised Meng Wei, and suddenly felt that selling monster meat in Chiyue Mountain was also a good business. It could even increase the reputation of Chiyue Mountain and attract more vagrants to come to Chiyue Mountain.

With this money, he can quickly expand the martial arts gym and further increase the number of players. Otherwise, with the authority of a first-level manager, 500 people will not be enough.

"Master Lin, since you've said that, I can, on behalf of the gang leader, agree to the previous cooperation." Meng Wei took a deep breath and looked at Lin Qi seriously. "In addition, I also want the Tiexin Gang to be incorporated into the Black Obsidian Martial Arts School. I hope Master Lin can agree."
