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

Chapter 39: Digging holes can make people happy

"Fang Zhen?"

"Did you just join Storm Shadow?"

Chen Ya couldn't help but take a closer look at him, with a hint of surprise in her beautiful eyes. She had thought he would be a young talent, but she didn't expect him to be a middle-aged uncle.

It can be said that no matter how you look at it, this age is the age to retire. Even if you look older, you are on the verge of retirement.

But she had never heard of such a master who was on the verge of retirement before.

"No, I've always been a member of Storm Shadow."

Fang Zhen was also shocked when he saw Chen Ya at the game entrance. He didn't expect that the famous Blood Flame Spear Girl would directly approach a nobody like him and ask questions.

"Have you been in Storm Shadow all along? Why don't I have any information about you?" Chen Ya was even more puzzled.

A master who masters triple micro-management, it would not be an exaggeration for major clubs to keep detailed records, but Fang Zhen's name has never appeared.

This made Chen Ya suddenly feel that she must have further communication with those who were doing the investigation.

Otherwise, in the national competition, who knows what kind of masters those teams have, and they will be caught off guard like they are now.

When Chen Ya was deeply confused, the Storm Shadow team members present, especially the coaches on the coaching staff, could not help but feel ashamed.

Not to mention that there is no information about Blue Rose, even their Storm Shadow has no detailed information.

Their club even planned to retire Fang Zhen today and replace him with a selected reserve player...

"Never mind, it's not important." Chen Ya stopped asking for more details and looked directly at Fang Zhen. "Your marksmanship is excellent. I look forward to your performance in the national competition. Next time, you won't be able to hit me as easily as you did today."

As she spoke, Chen Ya turned around and looked at Li Ranxing, who was still dazed.

"Let's settle the outcome of this match in the individual competition at the national tournament."

"no problem."

Li Ranxing also nodded to Chen Ya's challenge, intending to defeat Chen Ya fairly in the individual competition of the national competition.

Afterwards, Chen Ya took the Blue Rose group and left the Storm Shadow Club with no intention of staying any longer.

"Captain, were you planning to recruit that person into the team?" Zi Lan couldn't help but ask in a low voice as she watched Chen Ya walk out of the door.

As a friend, Zi Lan knew very well who Chen Ya was, and she would never try to find out who the members of Storm Shadow were for no reason.

Since he is willing to inquire, it means that he is impressed by that person's talent and strength.

The goal of the Blue Roses has always been to win the championship. Now, if a top-notch expert joins them, their chances of winning the championship will increase significantly.

"I did plan to do that, but let's forget it." Chen Ya shook her head. "He's getting old, and it's hard for him to maintain peak performance for long. The national team competition is a best-of-five match, and it's rare to only play three games. Let's keep this money for the original genius."

"What a pity." Wang Yidao sighed beside him, "At his age, this is probably his last time competing this year. If he had joined us, he might have had a chance to win."

"What's so regrettable? His potential has already been exhausted. Even if Blue Enchantress comes, he will be surpassed by the newcomers. It's better to let other talents take over." Chen Ya rolled her eyes at Wang Yidao. "But you, kid, can't even make a one-for-one trade in a two-on-one situation. It's hard to say whether you can participate in the main competition this time."

The first floor lobby of the Storm Shadow Club.

"Fang Zhen, based on your performance today, our coaching staff has unanimously decided to upgrade your contract level from B to S, and renew it for three years. If you think it's okay, we can sign the contract now." A middle-aged coach with half-gray hair walked up to Fang Zhen with great excitement and directly took out an electronic contract.

As soon as the S-level word came out, the members of the Storm Shadow team present all cast envious glances at each other.

In the entire Storm Shadow Club, Li Ranxing is the only one who has an S-level contract, and the minimum annual income guaranteed by the contract is 5 million. Based on the results of the national league, it can be continuously improved. It can be said that he has reached the sky in one step.

Of course, Li Ranxing's S-level contract has a guaranteed income that is even higher. After all, Li Ranxing ranked sixth in the individual competition last year. Although Fang Zhen is a veteran team member, he only performed amazingly in this simulation competition. It is impossible for him to get the same price as Li Ranxing.

But even so, this is the contract that countless professional players in the Mecha Continent dream of.

"Coach, if I sign this contract, will I be able to conduct independent training in my daily training in the future?" Fang Zhen looked at the contract in front of him and couldn't help but ask a question that was most important to him personally.

The power of the game Gaowu Descent really exceeded Fang Zhen's imagination. He didn't expect that playing Gaowu Descent every day could bring such an improvement effect.

This made Fang Zhen feel that he should spend more time playing High Weapon Coming in the future and not waste time on daily training.

"of course."

"S-level contracts are very flexible. All you need to do is come to the club and sign in every day."

The coaches all nodded. They were not surprised by Fang Zhen's suggestion. Many professional players have their own lives and games are not their whole life. It was only Li Ranxing's request that the whole team had special training every day.

But for someone who also has an S-level contract, such a restriction is meaningless. "Okay, I'll sign it."

Fang Zhen was sure that there was no problem. Looking at the S-level contract in his hand, it felt like a dream.

He thought that he would have to retire with less than half a year left this year. After all, his contract had expired, and he even knew that it was impossible for him to participate in the national competition.

The club needs to train new players, so how could it let an old guy participate in the competition? The best treatment he can get is to sit on the bench in the national competition.

It would be better to retire early and focus on game live streaming.

Now that I have the S-level contract, the guaranteed annual income is 5 million, and for three years, the guaranteed annual income is 15 million. This is much more profitable than live streaming games.

"Brother Zhen, can you tell me how you train? That triple micromaneuver is so cool!"

"And that weird footwork! This is the first time I've seen it. A ranged mecha can be as fast as a melee mecha. It's simply amazing!"

After Fang Zhen signed the new contract, the old team members who had a good relationship with Fang Zhen rushed to him one by one and asked him how he trained. It was definitely a miracle that his technical level could be improved so much at his age.

"I won't hide this from you all." Fang Zhen looked at everyone present, veterans and newcomers, all looking at him. He didn't intend to hide anything, or rather, he couldn't hide it. He said directly, "I recently played a fighting game called Gaowu Descent. I learned a lot from it, which is why I'm at my current level."

"A battle game?"

"Indeed, playing different virtual games can have unexpected training effects because different virtual games have different focuses."

"Brother Zhen, what kind of training do you usually do in that game?"

"Well, ever since I started playing, I've been digging holes and chopping trees. Recently, a new task has been added, repairing houses."

As Fang Zhen spoke, everyone present looked at him with contempt and speechlessness.

What kind of fighting game is this? Instead of fighting monsters, you just dig holes and chop down trees. Are you sure this is a serious fighting game and not a brick-moving game?
Even many people present suspected Fang Zhen and were unwilling to speak out, for fear that they would catch up.

"Digging a hole?" Li Ranxing, who was not far away, heard this and felt that Fang Zhen was probably telling the truth. After all, Fang Zhen had said before that he was digging a hole in the middle of the night. He had thought it was a joke, but it turned out to be true. "How about I try that game too?"

Li Ranxing felt that he had reached a bottleneck. No matter how frantically he trained every day, his technical level did not improve much. Changing the training method might not be a bad choice at this time.

At the Obsidian Martial Arts School, the sun sets.

"Brother Zhen, what's wrong with you today? You're digging holes so diligently."

Ragnarok looked at Fang Zhen, who didn't even need an alloy shovel, but just used his stone-breaking punches. He filled a bag with soil, and ran away with it as if he had found a treasure, without even taking a breath.

He is as hardworking as a bee.

"I'm in a good mood today, so I plan to dig more," Fang Zhen sighed. "And haven't you noticed? This game is developing based on our progress. There will definitely be a lot of players coming in in the future. If we don't dig quickly, others will take it all away. We must dig as much as we can now, otherwise there will be nothing left to dig in the future."

"Brother Zhen, what you said makes perfect sense. Why didn't I think of that?" Ragnarok suddenly had an epiphany. "The underground of the martial arts gym is so small, and there's only so much space for planting. The more we dig now, the more planting land we'll have in the future. By then, with enough planting land, we'll be able to earn more than those newcomers just by lying down!"

"Well, I didn't expect that much." Fang Zhen felt enlightened after hearing this. "But you're right, let's dig quickly!"

"Yes!" Ragnarok picked up the shovel excitedly and started working frantically.

Lin Qi, who was in the lounge of the martial arts gym, had a gloomy look on his face.

"Are these players crazy? Digging a hole is so fun?"

Lin Qi watched as the ten players ignored the work of repairing the martial arts gym and focused on digging holes, becoming more and more excited as they dug. He had no idea what these people were thinking.

He had clearly increased the rewards for the mission to repair the martial arts gym, but the ten people were as determined as a turtle eating a weight, and they madly improved their Stone Breaking Fist and Leopard Shadow Step. Their proficiency increased by more than 7% in just half a night, and each of them had reached more than 50% of the entry level.

His proficiency after extracting it soared, allowing Stone Breaking Fist to reach 79% of the entry level, Leopard Shadow Step to reach 82% of the entry level, and even the breathing method to reach 43% of the entry level.

Strength: 155.4 kg (apprentice 200 kg)

Speed: 11.2 m/s (apprentice: 12 m/s)
Visualization method: Stellar explosion visualization method (beginner 5%)

Now, purely in terms of strength, relying on the control and reaction of the body with mental will, he can probably fight against the masters who are just starting out as apprentices without using any martial arts.

"No, we must think of a way, otherwise the time for repairing the martial arts school will be delayed again." Lin Qi looked at his improved strength. Although he was very happy, increasing the staff of the martial arts school was the first priority now.

drop!drop!drop!
The sound of charging completion prompts rang out, causing Lin Qi to look at the mechanical doll that he had just washed during the day.

"The battery is fully charged. Do you want to turn it on?"
