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

Chapter 94 Version 1.1 New Gameplay Online

Luo Qi thought Lin Qi was joking about what he said about martial arts teaching.

A wild gang setting up a shop on the outskirts of the city to teach others martial arts seems like a black joke no matter how you look at it.

Even if what Lin Qi said was true, who would dare to come to the base camp of a wild gang to study? Are they afraid that they have too many organs in their body and want to reduce the burden?

"What are you thinking? Of course it's true. We are a legitimate martial arts school." Lin Qi understood what Luo Qi meant and said seriously.

"Outdoor gangs have always been synonymous with danger in the suburbs. Even if I believe it, Linzi, do you think the people in the suburbs will believe it? The Obsidian Martial Arts School is on the Warrior Association's list of outdoor gangs. I'm afraid there are few people in the entire suburbs who don't know about it." Luo Qi suggested, "Besides, opening a shop like this to teach martial arts is a waste of money for the current shop. I think I should stick to my original business, hire some machinists, and buy some machine tools. As long as there is a stable source of minerals, I won't have to worry about not making money."

"Opening a weapons shop? That's a good idea." Lin Qi thought it was a good idea. Currently, the Obsidian Martial Arts School wasn't short of weapons, but as the number of players increased, the existing weapons would definitely not be enough. Furthermore, with their own weapons shop, they could safely use the ancient copper mines under the Martial Arts School to manufacture B2-level weapons. He then said, "Then let's do both. While you're preparing for the weapons shop, you can also help promote the Martial Arts School. That way, you won't be delayed in either."

"When you open the shop, you can promote our Black Obsidian Martial Arts School's main apprentice-level martial arts skills, such as the Stone Crushing Fist and the Leopard Shadow Step."

The moment Lin Qi finished speaking, a system prompt sounded in his ears.

System: Congratulations to the host for triggering the advanced hidden quest 'Martial Arts are Not Passed Down Lightly', which requires players to teach people in this world an apprentice-level martial art. The price of teaching must be more than double the market price. The reward is a forced martial art fusion. You can choose a martial art created by the player and forcibly fuse it with a martial art mastered by the host. There is a certain probability of fusing a higher-level martial art, and the host can directly reach a proficient level.

"Forced martial arts fusion! Is there a certain chance of fusing into a higher-level martial arts?" Lin Qi's heart beat faster when he looked at the rewards for the advanced hidden task. He didn't expect that an invisible thought could trigger such a task.

Not to mention that the fusion of martial arts has always been something he coveted. Simply because he could directly master the martial arts created by players, this task must be completed.

Although the martial arts in the high-level martial arts world are powerful, they are not very flashy and have significant side effects. However, the martial arts created by players are extremely gorgeous.

If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't die and be resurrected, he would have already started practicing the martial arts created by players.

Now there is a chance to fuse more powerful martial arts. No matter what, this advanced task must be completed.

"Okay, I'll advertise it, but I can't guarantee anyone will be willing to come and learn." Luo Qi breathed a sigh of relief when Lin Qi agreed. He then said, "The machine tools in the weapons shop require a lot of investment. A used piece of equipment for making A6-level standard weapons and equipment costs about one million bits. A used piece of B2-level standard equipment costs about five million bits. How many do you plan to get for the martial arts school?"

"..." Lin Qi fell silent. Even if he calculated everything, he couldn't even scrape together 200,000 yuan. "We can start this weapons shop slowly. After all, I can't find many mines right now. Of course, we have to open a weapons shop. We can convert the shop into a workshop first. Once we have a source of mines, it won't be too late to buy machine tools and equipment."

"Okay, then I'll contact someone to make some simple renovations to the shop and open it in two days." Luo Qi didn't have any doubts and felt that what Lin Qi said made sense. It is not easy to open a weapons store. Without a stable supply of ore, those production equipment are just decorations.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Qi immediately began to sort out the future development direction of the Obsidian Martial Arts School.

Half an hour later, Lin Qi posted a new A4 paper on the notice board of the training ground, attracting the players in training to run over to check it out.

"Fuck! Come on, brothers, the martial arts school has a new way to play!"

"They actually asked us to teach NPC martial arts. Is this a mistake? Shouldn't the NPC be the one teaching us?"

"Didn't you see that this is a long-term mission for the martial arts school? It requires you to master the first level of Stone Crushing Fist or Leopard Shadow Step, at least to a proficient level. But this mission is really tough, not something an ordinary person can take on. Previous missions had no penalties, but this time, if you fail, the penalty is the same as the mission itself, in terms of points and contributions."

"But the rewards for this quest are really generous. If you teach an NPC for two hours and the NPC gives you a satisfactory evaluation, you'll get 2,000 points and 100 contributions. Even those experts in new maps probably can't earn points this fast."

"This should be a bonus mission for those new experts. High risk, high reward. It's much more promising than digging holes and farming every day. It's a real technical job. Unfortunately, my Stone Breaking Fist is only at 44% of the entry level, so I'm not even eligible to sign up."

"Great! I've already mastered 68% of the Leopard Shadow Step. This mission will start in two days. If I give it a try, maybe I'll still have a chance!"

……

Everyone looked at the latest announcement, and the players present were all surprised. They didn't expect that when they, the newcomers, complained that there were no tasks to take, the game manufacturer would actually open up a new way of playing. The rewards for the new way of playing were even more than the points and contributions earned from the new map. For a moment, they were all eager to try it out.

The first few batches of old players are making a lot of money in the new map, but these newcomers can only watch every day, envious of those old players who already have their own weapons and even have their own rest areas under construction, which really makes them cry with envy.

Now that they have this training mission, it is definitely the best choice for newcomers like them to catch up with the veteran players. "A training mission?"

"This is worth a try. It can just be a good opportunity to return the points I spent previously to that kid from the outside of the Great Wall, and at the same time, become a disciple of the sect."

Among the newcomers, Chen Ya is tall and attracts attention wherever she goes. Looking at the latest notice, she raised the corners of her mouth in a graceful arc, which was breathtaking.

Chen Ya had passed the physical fitness test before and luckily made it into the top 100. Originally, Chen Ya thought that the game developer of Gaowu Lanlai was a lunatic who could make such a morbid assessment. If she had not never fallen behind in her daily exercise and her digging skills had not been constantly improving, she really would not have been able to make it into the top 100.

However, after being selected to enter Gaowu Advent, Chen Ya felt that this physical fitness test was not without reason. After playing Gaowu Advent for two days, Chen Ya did feel that this game was not simple.

Especially after learning the stellar explosion visualization method, Chen Ya could clearly feel that her thinking had become much sharper in reality. After dying dozens of times, the stellar explosion visualization method was improved to 10%, which allowed Chen Ya to easily and continuously use the magical skill Eight Leaves and One Knife while controlling the mecha, which surprised Chen Ya herself.

Such a huge improvement in just two days. Chen Ya couldn't imagine how much Li Ranxing would improve after playing with high-level martial arts for so many days, especially since he had learned the spiritual secrets that only inner disciples could learn. She heard from the spearman from outside the Great Wall that this spiritual secret was even more powerful.

Originally, Chen Ya was quite worried, but now she sees hope of catching up with Li Ranxing's progress.

Now her Stone-Breaking Fist and Leopard Shadow Step are both above 50% entry-level. This is because she spends most of her time practicing the Star Explosion Visualization Method, but if she has two days, she can completely reach the proficient stage. She just needs to stay awake and not go to the club for special training.

Less than an hour after Lin Qi's notice was posted, a large number of new players began to frantically improve their Stone Breaking Fist and Leopard Shadow Step on the training ground. Arms and legs were broken one after another. The scene was as lively as a market. The homeless people who were hired by the martial arts school to make furniture were shocked and quickly hid on the second floor of the martial arts school, fearing that the martial arts disciples would catch them and play with them.

Time passed, and two days went by quickly.

The city chasing light, the obsidian shop on the outskirts of the city.

Although the three-story building was very shabby, it was still a relatively luxurious shop in the suburbs. Luo Qi simply asked his employees to open the door to welcome customers, and a large number of passers-by couldn't help but go in to take a look out of curiosity.

"Boss, the shop over at Obsidian is open." A man from the White Feather Gang, who was observing from a corner of a busy street, whispered into the smartwatch in his hand, speaking the language of the Feather Clan that few people understood.

"Opening a shop so soon?" Isaac on the other end of the line was very surprised. He had already sent out notices to many companies and businesses in the suburbs. Normally, the Obsidian Martial Arts School would not be able to accept commissions. Without these commissions, going to other cities or towns to purchase goods alone would definitely be a losing business. "What do they sell in their shop?"

"They didn't sell anything." Bai Yubang said the man a little embarrassedly.

"Nothing to sell? Then what are they doing with the store?" Isaac asked puzzledly.

"They're promoting martial arts apprenticeships and wanting people from the suburbs to study at the Black Obsidian Martial Arts School," Bai Yu helped explain to the man. "And the tuition at the Black Obsidian Martial Arts School is incredibly high. Anyone who enters is scared away."

"I checked the prices at the Obsidian Martial Arts School. Normal apprentice-level martial arts training with an experienced quasi-martial arts instructor in the suburbs costs 1000 bits per hour. A two-hour class period, and fifty hours of lessons, is enough to reach a proficient level."

"A regular instructor for a would-be martial artist charges 500 bits per hour, and it takes around 2000 to 4000 hours of lessons to reach proficiency. However, the Obsidian Martial Arts School charges anywhere from to bits per hour for apprentice-level martial arts instruction, and they don't even specify how many hours are needed to achieve proficiency. Their prices are clearly a rip-off. I fully understand what the Obsidian Martial Arts School is trying to do."

"Boss, do you want me to continue monitoring you?"

"Teach the apprentice martial arts?" Isaac was full of disdain, thinking that the Obsidian Martial Arts School was grandstanding because it had nothing to sell. "No need, come back. From now on, it's up to Yaklo and the others in the wild."

"Yes!"

Less than an hour after the man from the Baiyu Gang left, two human female high school students who were over two meters tall arrived at the door of the Obsidian Shop.

"Shuangyan, this is your sister's shop. It's really nice." A woman with a ponytail and wearing the uniform of the City of Light Key High School, with big, bright eyes, looked at the short-haired woman in a different uniform who nodded and said with a smile, "Let's go in and see what they have. After all, it's your sister's shop, so as your good friend, I have to support it."

As she spoke, the smart woman pulled Luo Shuangyan, who was about to refuse, and walked directly into the Obsidian Shop.
