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

Chapter 17 Is it difficult to enter the game?
"What should we do? Hold on, everyone. I'm coming over now!"

After Zhao Hu hung up the call, he looked at Gao Wu’s descending figure with reluctance. The figure turned into a gray icon and directly chose to enter the Tianlong Dynasty.

The second stage of the BOSS assessment is extremely difficult and cannot be cracked in a short period of time. As a senior elder of the Tianwei Guild, Zhao Hu’s top priority is to maintain Tianwei’s advantage in the Tianlong Dynasty. Other things can only be put aside for the time being.

While the test and assessment of high-level martial artists was in full swing, Lin Qi stretched lazily in the lounge of the Obsidian Martial Arts School, completely unaware of what was happening on Blue Star.

"I finally finished copying the Stone Crushing Fist and Leopard Shadow Step in one day. This is really not something a human can do."

Lin Qi looked at the two handwritten martial arts books on the table and felt very satisfied.

With these two martial arts books, his game can be considered to have a prototype of a combat system, so that newcomers will not come to the martial arts gym and only be able to learn fitness breathing techniques to improve their physical fitness, but will not have much combat power.

Moreover, as long as the player can learn Stone Crushing Fist and Leopard Shadow Step, even if his physical fitness is only at the kindergarten level, he can still fight against the quasi-apprentices.

The strength of the prospective apprentice is 100 kg to 200 kg.

The speed ranges from 10 to 12 meters per second.

In the City of Chasing Light, it can be said that the vast majority of people are at the quasi-apprentice level.

As for martial arts, they are a luxury for the official residents of the City of Light, and ordinary people cannot afford to learn them.

Players who are not quasi-apprentices can unleash more than twice their usual strength by mastering the apprentice-level Stone Crushing Fist. If they master the apprentice-level Leopard Shadow Step, their speed can be increased by more than 20%. As long as they master both, their strength and speed can reach the level of quasi-apprentices.

"The next issue is pricing. If it's too cheap, I won't have anything good to redeem. But if it's too expensive, players' strength will increase too slowly. It's really a dilemma."

Lin Qi suddenly felt that balance was truly an art.

On the one hand, we worry that players will consume too much of the game life, and on the other hand, we worry that players will lose motivation.

This leek is really bad.

Just when Lin Qi was struggling with how to set the price, a tall figure walked in from outside the martial arts hall. He carried a metal box in one mechanical hand and two large cardboard boxes in the other. His steps were steady and powerful, which was completely different from that of an ordinary apprentice.

"Linzi, I've brought all the goods you requested." Luo Qi placed the box in the corner of the lounge, looked at Lin Qi curiously, and asked, "Why do you need so many blood rice seeds, food, and water at once? You're not planning on living in the wild for a long time, are you?"

"I just want to reserve some more just in case. After all, the entire City of Light has been unstable recently." Lin Qi directly took out 6000 bits and handed them to Luo Qi. Suddenly, there were only more than bits left in his hand, which was not enough to pay the hospital debt for next month.

This time, he asked Luo Qi to buy 100 kilograms of blood-essence rice seeds, as well as a month's food and drink for ten players, including himself. Whether he could succeed depended on this one.

"It's certainly been a bit unsettled lately." Luo Qi nodded after hearing this. "Just yesterday, several gangs in the suburbs were wiped out. The gangs have been fighting fiercely, and their weapons have been expended significantly. If I hadn't wanted to send these things to you, I'd probably be busy crafting weapons right now."

"Are they fighting so fiercely?" Lin Qi was very surprised. "Didn't they say that the Half-Scale Clan's gang has slightly expanded its territory in the suburbs?"

"I don't know the details." Luo Qi shook her head slightly, then looked at Lin Qi with interest and said with a smile, "There's a good part-time job in our store recently. Would you like to take it?"

"Does your store need part-time workers for illegal vagrants?" Lin Qi couldn't help but feel curious after hearing this.

As one of the most famous weapon stores in the suburbs, Cangjing Weapon Store usually has a lot of residents with formal status who want to work there. As for illegal vagrants, even working there as a part-time worker is just a dream.

"Well, it's a very good part-time job, perfect for you." Luo Qi nodded, not wanting to keep her in suspense any longer. "Aren't you going to farm? Since you're going to the wild, you can do some transportation along the way. Our store has been incredibly busy lately, and the raw materials for making weapons are being consumed at a rapid rate, so we've been discussing cooperation with several gangs."

"Those gangs have each mined a lot of ore in mines not far from the abandoned area. Our store intends to trade their raw materials for weapons, but due to the huge volume of transactions, our staff is overwhelmed. Those gangs are also busy fighting each other, so we don't have any extra manpower."

"So our shop plans to hire a group of people to work part-time as transporters for those gangs. The more ore we transport, the more money we'll make. If you're going out into the wild, you can stop by on the way back. Even though you can only earn 30 bits for kilograms of ore, even a little bit counts."

"Will those gangs allow me to get close?" Lin Qi was also tempted after hearing this, but he was not tempted by the money.

If ordinary people dare to approach the mines occupied by major gangs, once they are discovered, those gangs will kill them without any mercy and will not give them any chance at all.

It is almost impossible to avoid being discovered. The gangs have set up monitoring equipment near the mines. It is a dream for ordinary people to avoid being discovered. In addition to producing a large amount of ore, the mines also have many trees on the mountains.

These trees are generally as thick as a person, making them perfect for repairing martial arts halls.

If we are allowed to get close to the mine, we can collect wood with a legitimate reason, and then let the players repair the martial arts school. This is much more cost-effective than finding someone to repair the martial arts school by themselves.

"Don't worry about that. We have the gangs' identification cards. As long as you bring them, they won't do anything to you." Luo Qi explained, "Many employees in the store are vying for this part-time job. The store manager stipulates that only one recommendation can be made per person, so now you have a good deal."

"Okay, I'll do this part-time job!" Lin Qi agreed without hesitation after hearing this.

"Okay, I'll give you this ID." Luo Qi nodded and took out a metal bracelet. "But let me make it clear first, this part-time job has a minimum requirement. You have to transport at least one ton of ore per week, otherwise I'll take it back."

Lin Qi took the metal bracelet and said happily, "Don't worry, I promise it will be more, not less, and I guarantee you will be satisfied."

Not only can he finally get a good price for his two martial arts books, but when new players arrive, he can even provide them with a new way to play. It's a win-win situation, he wins twice!

……

Blue Star, the setting sun, Tianya Pavilion high-end residential area.

The four-story villa courtyard was now brightly lit. Zhao Hu lay in the virtual game cabin, took a deep breath, and once again glanced at the dim high-level weapon icon.

"We have finally dealt with those guys from Myth Paradise. Now we can think about how to deal with the BOSS." Zhao Hu looked at the time on the screen. He still had several hours until tonight. He didn't believe that he wouldn't be able to see Luo Wushang tonight.

Just when Zhao Hu paid 198 resurrections and was about to enter the test assessment of Gaowu Descent, a system prompt suddenly popped up from Gaowu Descent.

System: Currently there are seven pre-order players who have obtained full connection qualifications. Thank you to all pre-order players for their participation.

"How is this possible!" Zhao Hu was stunned when he saw the system pop-up window.

Zhao Hu knew very well how strong the second stage of the BOSS Qin Mu was. He even doubted whether anyone could pass this inhuman test.

But now I tell him that he lost all seven places after just fighting one battle. How can he believe it?

"Could it be the old guys from the other four giant guilds?"

After Zhao Hu came to his senses, he kept wondering in his mind who could pass such a terrifying test, seven people at once.

"I still underestimated the masters of the world." Zhao Hu looked at the connection quota that had been filled, and he couldn't help but feel a little regretful. If he hadn't gone to deal with the Myth Heaven, maybe he still had a chance to pass the assessment. Then he picked up the phone beside him and called Zhang Qingwei directly, "Qingwei, please tell Vice President Luo that I can't go to meet him tonight, but next time there is a quota, I will definitely enter Gaowu Laixian!"

After Zhao Hu said this, he had already made up his mind that he must pass the assessment before Gao Wu came and increased the number of places.

"Entering High Martial Arts Advent?" Zhang Qingwei asked in surprise, "Is it difficult to enter that game?"

"It's very difficult." Although Zhao Hu didn't understand why Zhang Qingwei asked this, he said truthfully, "At least I'm not sure yet."

"Is it so difficult?" Zhang Qingwei said slowly after hearing this, "Okay, I'll tell Wu Shang about this matter when I enter Gaowu."

"Enter Gaowu Jianglin?" Zhao Hu couldn't help but glance at his phone, wondering if he had misheard. Trying to suppress his restless heart, he asked again, "Qingwei, are you saying you will enter the Gaowu Jianglin game and inform Vice President Luo?"

"Yeah." Zhang Qingwei nodded, not understanding why Zhao Hu was so excited.

"Qingwei! No! Secretary Zhang!" Zhao Hu heard Zhang Qingwei's confirmation and said with a hint of awe, "I wonder if you could tell me how you managed to hold on for 20 seconds? Of course, if you think it's inappropriate, I won't force it. I just want some strategic ideas."

In Zhao Hu's view, Qin Mu's second stage in the last ten seconds was like a god descending to earth, which was completely unavoidable and unstoppable. However, Zhang Qingwei actually passed it. His strength was simply terrifying.

"Hold on for 20 seconds? A strategy?" Zhang Qingwei was stunned. "Can't I just buy the game and enter?"
