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

Chapter 56 Give players a shovel and they can really dig through the earth's core
In the City of Chasing Light, outside the Obsidian Martial Arts School.

"Flo, what were you thinking? You actually promised a 20% share. Those are all junior apprentices. Aren't you afraid that the old gang leader will have an opinion? This time, the old gang leader invited people from the Evil Wolf Gang, and he only promised 10% to 10 intermediate apprentices." Fisher, who was walking on the road, said in confusion.

"That Lin Qi is so cunning. I didn't expect the Gray Gang to actually have thirty apprentice-level masters hiding out there." Flo glanced at Fisher's hands, which were ripped in many places, and sighed. "But I don't think I lost out on this deal. A junior apprentice can hurt you. Even if there's only one such junior apprentice in the Gray Gang, it wouldn't be a loss for me, let alone the fact that we've gathered thirty of them this time."

"With these thirty people, plus the ten mid-level apprentices from the Evil Wolf Gang, our Green Bird Gang only needs to send out ten high-end fighters. This way, if we win, we'll make a lot of money, and if we lose, we won't be hurt too much."

"True." Fisher nodded, and said with some regret, "It's just a pity for Yiye Fuyun from the Gray Gang. After today's battle, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to survive."

Fisher still admired Yiye Fuyun very much. At least in the Qingque Gang, no junior apprentice could withstand her Burning Moon move without dying, and it was incredible that Yiye Fuyun could actually injure her.

However, judging from Yiye Fuyun's condition, unless the Gray Gang is willing to spend a huge price, they may not be able to save him. However, any gang treats its members as consumables, and it is obviously impossible for the Gray Gang to spend such a huge price.

"It's a bit of a shame." Flo nodded, his eyes solemn. "But this battle also made me realize that the Gray Gang is no ordinary gang. If that person was already a mid-level apprentice, you would probably lose today. I don't know where the Gray Gang found such a talent. If there were more masters like this, I'm afraid they would be a threat to our Green Bird Gang."

"No way, there are only a few of them, how could they possibly threaten our Qingque Gang?" Fisher couldn't help but be surprised.

As a high-ranking member of the Green Bird Gang, she was very clear about its strength. She knew that it was not something that could be countered by just a few senior apprentices.

"A few people certainly can't do it, but the martial arts he used are of a very high level, very likely quasi-warrior-level." Flo explained, "If the Gray Gang really had more than ten mid-level apprentices master quasi-warrior-level martial arts, that would be equivalent to the combat power of more than ten high-level apprentices. How many gangs in the wild do you think have so many high-level apprentices?"

"That's impossible. That's a quasi-warrior-level martial art. How can it be so easy to learn? The cost of teaching alone is not something an ordinary gang in the wild can afford." Fisher didn't believe it at all. The higher the level of the martial arts, the more expensive it would be to learn.

Just the apprentice-level martial arts skill Zhuo Yue that she learned to master had cost her over 200,000. She couldn't even imagine the price of learning quasi-warrior-level martial arts to mastery, let alone having more than ten people learn it.

Even if the leader of the Gray Gang is an instructor and does not charge tuition, he still cannot teach enough. The more advanced the martial arts, the higher the requirements for each detail. The instructor must teach step by step and cannot be distracted to teach multiple people. Otherwise, it is easy for something to go wrong during training, which will be irreversible.

"Maybe I'm overthinking it." Flo smiled and felt that he was overthinking it.

If the leader of the Gray Gang really had that ability, he would have gone to the city center to live a comfortable life long ago. Why would he come to the abandoned area to run a wild gang?

……

Inside the Obsidian Martial Arts School.

As Flo and the others left, the martial arts studio became extremely lively, with everyone lining up to wait for guidance from Instructor No. 1.

Before, if people wanted to become inner disciples, they could only accumulate contributions, but now there is another way. As long as the skill level reaches the fifth level, they can become a glorious inner disciple.

The inner disciples not only have a change of status, but also have a one-star obsidian badge awarded by the museum owner Lin Qi, which symbolizes the identity of inner disciples.

After everyone saw the one-star obsidian emblem with the appearance of a black dragon, they could no longer hold back. Even if that emblem was only purchased by Lin Qi online for five bits, it was enough to drive all the players crazy.

"Boss Yiye, is this the inner sect disciple's emblem? It's so cool!" "It's fine, but it's too conspicuous. If it weren't for the fact that I can get 100 grams of blood-essence rice from the hall master every week with this emblem, I really wouldn't be willing to wear it."

"Is this rice cooked from blood-essence rice? Is the blood-essence rice in this game still edible? Is Boss Yiye's blood-essence rice delicious?"

"It tastes just like the rice we usually eat at home, but it's much better than the synthetic food we eat every day. And I heard from the gym owner that eating this blood rice can help improve physical fitness, just like adding a small training buff."

"Holy crap! This game has a feature like this? Doesn't that mean that life professions will rise in the future? I've been eating synthetic food so much lately that I'm almost vomiting. If I didn't get up every morning and order takeout to change the taste, I wouldn't be able to eat a single bite of synthetic food."

"Does anyone here know how to cook? After I become an inner disciple, I can directly spend my points to buy blood-essence rice from the master. The price is only 30% of what we sell blood-essence rice, and it's cooked. I want to make fried rice and then roll it into rice balls. When I get tired, I can eat at the mine."

"Fried rice? That's easy, I can do it. Do you have a pot, oil, salt, eggs? Oh, and fire too."

"Oil, salt, and eggs? I'll go ask the owner if he sells oil, salt, and eggs. As for the pot, I can look for it in the abandoned building, maybe I can find it."

After Yiye Fuyun became an inner disciple, he could eat rice made from blood-essence rice at a cheaper price, which surprised the players who ate synthetic food every day.

I didn't expect that this game actually has a life system. Not only can the blood rice they grow be eaten, but it can also be made into fried rice. The most important thing is that it can provide training BUFF. Even if the effect of that BUFF is very weak, it is still an improvement.

The blood rice in particular tastes pretty good. It can be made into fried rice and eaten in Gaowu Landing, especially when you go to the mine to eat it. It is so delicious.

"You want eggs?" Lin Qi rolled his eyes at Yi Ye Fu Yun. "Why don't you want lobsters?" "Maybe we have what you want, but forget about it now. I can get oil and salt, but they cost points. One liter of cooking oil costs 5,000 points, and 300 grams of salt costs 5,000 points."

Oil and salt are indeed sold in the City of Light, but they are very expensive and are usually sold in stores in the city center. However, since players need them, Lin Qi plans to increase the price fivefold, which should be considered very conscientious.

For the homeless people living in abandoned areas and even the residents living in the suburbs, it is already difficult to survive. They are lucky to be able to eat synthetic food. These players actually plan to eat such luxurious food as fried rice. This trend must be suppressed.

"Is it so expensive?" Yiye Fuyun was also confused.

This meal of fried rice is even more expensive than a full banquet in real life.

Just when Lin Qi was about to explain why it was so expensive, a dark-skinned man carrying an alloy shovel ran in.

"Master Master! Take a look at this thing. Is it helpful to the martial arts gym?" The dark-skinned man covered in mud excitedly took out a fist-sized turquoise ore from his pants and almost put it against Lin Qi's face, fearing that Lin Qi couldn't see it clearly.

"Ancient copper ore?" Lin Qi was initially a little disdainful, but upon seeing the luster, he suddenly stood up and asked, "Where did you get it?"

Ancient bronze ore is not an ordinary ore. Weapons and equipment made solely from ancient bronze ore are all A6 grade. If mixed with some other metal ores, B2 grade alloy weapons and equipment can be made.

"I dug it up over 500 meters underground." The dark-skinned man touched his bald head and asked expectantly, "Master, can this ore be exchanged for points?"
