Chapter 85: Level 1 Administrator Permissions
“Finally finished.”
Lin Qi looked at the system panel at the bottom of his vision, and could not help feeling a bit excited.
Right now he was in desperate need of players.
Under normal circumstances, he should have already gone to take over Crimson Moon Mountain and started the mining of the Crimson Moon Mountain miniature energy vein, but the Obsidian Martial Arts Hall also needed players to be stationed there long term. If he split them into two groups, seventy players were nowhere near enough, so he still had not gone to take over Crimson Moon Mountain.
Especially for the garrison work at Crimson Moon Mountain. That area was so large. Even though there was only one bridge leading to Crimson Moon Mountain, no one could guarantee that some vagrants would not quietly swim over to mine, not to mention they also had to block raids from other gangs.
The Green Sparrow Gang would usually send one or two hundred people to garrison Crimson Moon Mountain long term. He did not have that many people, but he would still have to send at least sixty or seventy players over there to barely keep Crimson Moon Mountain under control.
Now that the martial arts hall was repaired, he could free up forty more players, which could barely maintain safety on both sides.
And by extension, he had also achieved Merit-Based Admission Authority level two. His improvement speed could increase again, so he would not be stuck with only five extractions a day, forced to calculate every improvement so carefully.
If he did not focus exclusively on raising Leopard Shadow Steps and Crushing Stone Fist to the Second Level, he would have to split off some improvements for the Prairie Fire Spear Technique and Lightning Palm, and he also could not stop the Breathing Technique.
As for the Meditation Technique and mental secret techniques, they were also of great use, and were two divine skills that were absolutely required.
There were as many as seven areas that needed improvement, but there were only five extraction opportunities each day, and all five were random extractions. As his own proficiency grew higher, the improvement from each extraction became smaller and smaller, to the point where the daily improvement was almost negligible.
“I wonder how the Secondary Hidden Authority will be. Even if the extraction authority increases by two or three times a day, my improvement speed would rise significantly.” Lin Qi then swept his gaze toward the effects of the Secondary Hidden Authority.
The Merit-Based Admission Authority level two was the Secondary Hidden Authority, and the host possessed the following authority.
On top of the original Merit-Based Admission Authority level one, the host could establish one more, more refined assessment item. The daily extraction limit increased by 1, and he could independently choose which experience inheritance to extract.
“That’s it?” Lin Qi stared at the Merit-Based Admission Authority level two, stunned.
Compared with Merit-Based Admission Authority level one, Merit-Based Admission Authority level two really was just “everything plus one.”
For the current Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, whether or not to add more assessment items was completely unimportant. What he lacked were people. As for extracting experience inheritances, the added manual selection function was nice, but by screening players he could already, to some extent, choose which martial skills or cultivation methods he wanted to improve.
“Forget it, at least it adds one more extraction opportunity.” Lin Qi sighed softly and turned his gaze to the new system notifications.
System: congratulations to the host for possessing a complete martial arts hall. You now officially have Primary Administrator Authority and can, to a certain extent, manage the martial arts hall and the online game operations. The maximum number of players you can manage is
System: main quest one ‘build an advanced martial arts hall’ activated. Reward: two standard branch halls and one Player Resurrection Device.
System: main quest two ‘online appointments reach five hundred thousand’ activated. Reward: Player Resurrection Device manufacturing authority; hidden authority will be upgraded to level three.
“What is this situation?”
Looking at the latest system notifications, Lin Qi could not help being shocked.
Setting aside the two baffling quests the system had arranged, just looking at the two quests themselves, apart from upgrading his authority, they did not include a single player introduction quota. What was the point of improving his authority like this?
But before Lin Qi could recover, he saw that a new Administrator Permissions selection tab had appeared in the system panel, which made him curious enough to tap into it.
As Lin Qi entered the Administrator Permissions, his jaw dropped.
“I have played for so long, and only now it actually counts as starting the real game?”
Looking at the pile of tabs inside Administrator Permissions, Lin Qi felt that all these days he had been playing in vain, as if he had only been trying out a demo, with many critical functions still locked.
The official Administrator Permissions had three major functions in total.
The first was that through Administrator Permissions, he could directly connect to Blue Star’s High Martial Arts Descend game, check game reviews and the official forum, and even issue announcements directly under the official name. He would no longer be completely ignorant about the situation on Blue Star and could provide some degree of guidance.
The second was Building Renovation. This function was downright defiant. Any building belonging to the Obsidian Martial Arts Hall could be renovated. However, renovation required energy, namely energy ores. One kilogram of energy ore could be converted into one unit of energy.
At the moment, there were three types of buildings he could renovate: resting place, Primary Training Room, and Primary Gravity Room.
The resting place was the most powerful. The renovation cost was ten thousand units of energy. The minimum renovation size was a one-hundred-square-meter independent room. It could increase the maximum player introduction upper limit by ten, which was equivalent to one thousand units of energy ore. In other words, one ton of energy ore could increase the quota by one player. He would no longer have to obtain introduction quotas only through quests.
However, due to the limitation of the Primary Administrator Authority, his current maximum manageable player limit was Only by upgrading to Secondary Administrator Authority could he increase the maximum management limit. But to be promoted to Secondary Administrator Authority, he needed twenty players to become martial artists and also needed one advanced martial arts hall.
The basic requirements for an advanced martial arts hall were: a land area of one hundred and twenty thousand square meters, at least three floors, a height of no less than fifty meters, and at least ten Primary Training Rooms and three Primary Gravity Rooms.
The Primary Training Room had a renovation cost of five thousand units of energy. The minimum renovation size was a two-hundred-square-meter independent room. Inside the room would be one primary Combat Puppet. The primary Combat Puppet could be set to a maximum strength of Limit Quasi-Martial Artist. Its combat standard could reach up to the Microscopic Realm and it could master up to three martial skills. It consumed 50 units of energy per hour.
The Primary Gravity Room had a renovation cost of thirty thousand units of energy and one Energy Crystal. The minimum renovation size was a fifty-square-meter independent room. The room had to be built with at least B1-grade metal. The maximum adjustable gravity was twenty times normal gravity, and in a gravity environment, the higher the gravity, the better the training effects. It consumed 50 units of energy per hour.
“No wonder the main quest asked me to use a complete martial arts hall. These training rooms and gravity rooms are simply divine weapons for cultivation.” Looking at the Primary Training Room and Primary Gravity Room shown on the system panel, Lin Qi’s eyes were burning.
The Primary Training Room could greatly increase players’ combat experience, especially their combat proficiency.
The Primary Gravity Room was even more impressive. It could be called the best building for training the body. In many cultivation methods of the High Martial Arts World, the essence was to stimulate the cells. In a high-gravity environment, stimulating the cells would undoubtedly become much easier, and improvement would be much faster.
“It is a pity that renovating these buildings all requires energy ore. If only I could pay with Bit.” Lin Qi let out a slight sigh, but the excitement in his eyes was hard to hide.
Now that he had the ability to renovate these three types of buildings, as long as he had enough energy ore, the overall strength of the Obsidian Martial Arts Hall could quickly catch up to those top ten major gangs in the wilderness.
Then Lin Qi’s gaze swept to the final function of the Administrator Permissions.
