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

Chapter 67 Hidden Mission

Phosphorus fire trading market.

Xia Ling walked slowly to the front of the medium-sized transport vehicle and looked at Lin Qi, whom she had not seen for a few days. A hint of surprise flashed in her golden eyes.

I didn't expect that after just a few days of not seeing each other, Lin Qi's energy and blood were obviously much stronger.

Although it is impossible to judge how much stronger he has become, it can be seen from his Qi and blood that he is definitely at the apprentice level. Among the wild gangs, he is considered a master.

In Xia Ling's memory, Lin Qi definitely had not reached the apprentice level when he came last time. Even the housekeeper said that he still needed several years to reach that level.

"Ms. Xia, I'm here to do business again. I hope I didn't disturb you." Lin Qi looked at Xia Ling who was walking towards him and greeted her with a smile.

Xia Ling's status in the phosphorus fire trading market is not low, so there are much fewer risks in trading.

Before, he was really afraid that Xia Ling had already figured out his background after the last transaction and knew that the meat of the crocodile-tooth rhinoceros was picked up, and she would be too lazy to pay attention to him after that. But fortunately, Xia Ling came out.

"Mr. Lin, you're joking. Our Phosphorus Fire Trading Market is open for business, so how could we possibly turn away customers?" Xia Ling stopped probing Lin Qi's blood and said with a smile, "I wonder what Mr. Lin wants to trade this time?"

No matter whether they are apprentices or quasi-warriors, the Phosphorus Fire Trading Market has never cared about them. Any guard in the Phosphorus Fire Trading Market can suppress a quasi-warrior, and apprentices are nothing but ants.

"Miss Xia, you'll know if you take a look inside the cargo box." Lin Qi pointed to the medium-sized transport truck behind him.

"Mr. Lin likes to act mysterious." Xia Ling smiled and felt that Lin Qi was really making a fuss out of nothing. Even if he was trading another ton of crocodile teeth and rhino meat this time, there was no need to hide it like this.

However, Xia Ling was also a very casual and friendly person. She didn't care about Lin Qi's pretending to be mysterious. She simply opened the side door of the medium-sized transport truck's cargo box and walked in alone.

As for the issue of safety, Xia Ling was not worried at all. Not to mention that this was the Phosphorus Fire Trading Market, she was just an extreme apprentice who was only half a step away from being a quasi-warrior. As long as she was not facing a warrior-level master, Xia Ling was confident that she could fight for a long time.

In addition to a large metal box, there was also a corpse lying quietly in the small cargo box, which was over three meters in size, like a grizzly bear, but with a long tail.

"One-horned gold-eating rat!"

When Xia Ling saw the corpse, she was stunned for a moment, her eyes full of surprise and confusion.

Although the One-Horned Gold-Eating Rat is the weakest monster, it is extremely difficult to kill. Although normal quasi-warriors can confront it head-on for a short period of time, they cannot hurt the One-Horned Gold-Eating Rat.

Unless the prospective warrior possesses a B-class weapon, the one-horned gold-eating rat is very cunning and will flee once it knows it cannot defeat the enemy. In addition, the one-horned gold-eating rat usually lives in groups of three or five, which will give warriors a headache.

Of course, with the use of a large amount of manpower, a group of extreme apprentices or quasi-warriors equipped with B-class weapons can kill the unicorn-eating rat. Some large gangs in the wild and gangs in the suburbs also use this method to obtain monster meat, but the sacrifice is not small, and not many crazy gangs will do this.

In most cases, the best way is to buy from warriors and let the gang continue to accumulate strength.

It's hard to imagine a new gang in the wild hunting down unicorn rats.

"Miss Xia, I wonder what price you would like to offer for this one-horned gold-eating rat?" Lin Qi walked up, closed the side door of the cargo box directly, and asked in a low voice.

"A kilogram of unicorn rat meat costs 580 bits on the market, but I can offer 600 bits," Xia Ling said without hesitation. "Of course, if Mr. Lin can guarantee a long-term supply, I can offer 620 bits."

"Miss Xia is indeed straightforward." Lin Qi nodded. Xia Ling's price was indeed much higher than the market price. "Okay, I can provide the unicorn gold-eating rat on a long-term basis, but I can't guarantee the time."

As the weakest monster, the price per kilogram of the One-Horned Gold-Eating Rat is naturally not as high as that of the Alligator Rhino Meat, which has more energy. For Lin Qi, the price of 620 bits is already very satisfactory.

"As long as they can provide long-term supply, that's fine." Xia Ling looked at Lin Qi, who could guarantee a long-term supply, and her opinion of the power behind Lin Qi increased. Then she glanced at the large metal box beside her, "I wonder what's in that metal box?"

"500 kilograms of blood-essence rice, the market price is 400 bits per kilogram. Is Miss Xia interested?" Lin Qi directly quoted the price.

Blood Essence Rice has always been the hard currency of the City of Light and is in great demand. However, the purchase price is always lower than the selling price after all, after having a stable income from the One-Horned Gold-Eating Rat.

Lin Qi felt that he could keep these mature blood-essence rice for himself.

"No problem, I'll take them all." Xia Ling didn't bargain. She looked at Lin Qi with a slight smile on her face, even moving a little closer. Her beautiful eyes no longer treated Lin Qi as an insignificant figure. "I wonder what Mr. Lin wants to buy from us at Phosphorus Fire this time?"

"I want ten sets of second-hand A5-level protective gear and one set of second-hand A6-level protective gear." Lin Qi thought about it and decided to buy protective gear from Xia Ling and get himself a set at the same time.

Although he could also buy it from the Cang Jing Weapon Shop, it would make him too conspicuous. Buying from Xia Ling would be different, and second-hand products would be even cheaper.

"No problem, a set of A5-level protective gear costs 6, and a set of A15-level protective gear costs ." Xia Ling was a little surprised when she heard what Lin Qi wanted, and didn't understand what the point of buying these low-end goods was, but since Lin Qi wanted them, it would be a waste not to do this deal.

Then Lin Qi and Xia Ling completed the transaction.

The unicorn-shaped gold-eating rat weighed 2315.5 kilograms and was worth 1435610 gold. The blood-essence rice was worth 20 gold. After deducting ten sets of A5-level protective gear and one set of A6-level protective gear, Lin Qi immediately obtained 885610 bits. This immediately gave him a lot of cash, more than enough to purchase materials for repairing the entire martial arts gym. While Lin Qi was waiting for Xia Ling's men to pick up the goods, he discovered that the Phosphorus Fire Market had attracted a number of apprentice-level nomads of various races.

"Miss Xia, why are there so many apprentices joining today? Is your gang expanding its enrollment recently?" Lin Qi was very surprised when he saw the many apprentice-level vagrants who had registered to take the examination for the Phosphorus Fire Gang.

The Half-Scale Clan's influence in the City of Chasing Light has greatly increased due to the emergence of several talented warriors, but it is impossible for it to rise to such a level that hundreds of apprentice-level masters can come and join them.

"That's not the case." Xia Ling glanced at the long queue and explained, "Didn't the White Feather Gang's wild planting base get attacked recently? The White Feather Gang attacked several suspected wild gangs, and those gangs were unlucky."

"The White Feather Gang has long coveted the resources of those ordinary gangs in the wild, but they didn't have a pretext to take action before, fearing that the ordinary gangs would unite to fight them. Now that the planting base is gone, the White Feather Gang has an excuse. Those gangs, dissatisfied with the conditions proposed by the White Feather Gang, have either been completely wiped out or some of their members have joined the White Feather Gang."

"Among these people, there are quite a few members of those gangs. In order to avoid trouble from the Baiyu Gang, they came here to participate in the assessment."

"Is the Baiyu Gang so powerful? How could it destroy several gangs in one breath?" Lin Qi was a little surprised.

The Baiyu Gang was only one of the top 100 gangs in the wild. He believed that it could fight against a few ordinary gangs in the wild, but it was a bit surprising that it could wipe out several ordinary gangs in the wild in one breath.

"The White Feather Gang has indeed gained several new masters recently, and has grown considerably," Xia Ling said nonchalantly. "Especially their leader and three deputy leaders, who have quietly risen to the level of quasi-warriors. It's normal for them to have such strength."

"While it may seem like there's little difference in strength between a quasi-warrior and an extreme apprentice, there are essential differences between the two."

"Once you become a quasi-warrior, it means that blood and energy have filled your entire body and begun to affect your internal organs. Although this effect is small, this improvement in your internal organs allows your brain to obtain more nutrients."

"Because of this, even if a quasi-warrior's strength and speed are only slightly stronger than an extreme apprentice, his perception and reaction nerves are far ahead of the extreme apprentice."

"This allows a quasi-warrior to fight three or five extreme apprentices at the same time. It's no problem at all. If an apprentice wants to fight against a quasi-warrior, under normal circumstances, he can only rely on the auxiliary effects brought by the armor to suppress and fight against the quasi-warrior."

"I see." After hearing this, Lin Qi couldn't help but have a new understanding of the quasi-warriors.

I didn't expect that after becoming a quasi-warrior, the brain would grow, which is much more powerful than muscle growth. After all, the battle between masters often takes only a moment.

When nerves react faster, the balance of victory is clear.

System: Detection revealed that a player has created a warrior-level martial art, the Dielang Sword.

System: Congratulations to the host for completing the hidden mission 'Born with Talent'. The upper limit of the reward quota has been increased by 40.

System: Congratulations to the host for triggering the second hidden mission, 'Genius is Never Alone', which allows players to create ten warrior-level martial arts or training methods. Currently, there are three, and the upper limit for the number of reward introductions is 100. The reward is martial arts fusion, which can combine three martial arts of the same type created by players into a new martial art, which the host can directly master to reach perfection.

"Fusion of martial arts?" Lin Qi looked at the new hidden task below his field of vision and was shocked by the generosity of the system.

It would be fine if they just rewarded extra places, but I didn't expect that they could also reward fusion martial arts. The bottom line for players to create their own martial arts is warrior level. If there are three martial arts of the same type fused together, you can imagine the level of this martial art.

Moreover, it is a state of perfection from the very beginning. If players are not encouraged to work hard to create it, it would be a shame to reward them.

Lin Qi then bought forty alloy shovels from Xia Ling, as well as forty people's supply of synthetic food and water for one month.

After completing the transaction, Lin Qi drove the medium-sized transport truck back to the Obsidian Martial Arts School without stopping, and had no intention of staying for a moment.

There are forty places, which means there are a lot of newbies, so we have to arrange them well.

At the same time that Lin Qi was driving the transport vehicle away, a young man from the Feather Clan with a broken arm followed closely behind him on a small electric motorcycle and quickly disappeared in the Phosphorus Fire Trading Market.

"Miss, it seems someone from the White Feather Gang is following them." A Half-Scale Clan guard, carrying a sword, hurried into the house and reported in a low voice, "Do you need me to take care of it?"

"No need, it's just the Baiyu Gang." Xia Ling couldn't help but smile and flicked her tail. "If they can't even deal with the Baiyu Gang, then they won't be qualified to cooperate anymore."

"Yes!" The Half-Scale Clan guard carrying a sword bowed and left, no longer disturbing Xia Ling's practice.

As the sun set, Lin Qi finally returned to the Obsidian Martial Arts School before sunset. Almost immediately after returning, he asked the system to open up 40 new places.

"Captain Mans, I found the base of this gang." The young man from the Feather Tribe with a broken arm looked at the magnificent martial arts hall in the distance and felt that the martial arts hall in front of him must be the base of Lin Qi and others. After all, many gang bases in the wild are just dilapidated buildings. With such a complete martial arts hall, it is impossible not to use it as an important base.

"Okay! Send me the location and I will ask the gang leader. As long as it is confirmed to be them, you will get the reward." The man named Mans nodded, saw the location sent by the young man, and hung up the phone.

"The Obsidian Martial Arts School in the area where human nomads gather?"

Mans looked at the specific location, left his room, walked slowly upstairs, and came to the top floor, the residence of the leader of the White Feather Gang.
