Chapter 148: Dealing with the Battlefield
“Gold Spiritual Root?”
Before logging in, Zhan Sheng had already read all the available guides for this game.
Including the Yunzhou Continent website created by Han Tian.
Gold Spiritual Root is the top talent currently promoted in this game.
At least, that’s how it appears on the surface.
Zhan Sheng was a little surprised: “I actually have a Gold Spiritual Root?”
She didn’t expect her talent to be that high when playing games.
She didn’t expect to have such high talent in a cultivation game.
System: “Yes, so there’s no need to go to the place where new players test their spiritual roots, and it’s best not to tell anyone.”
Zhan Sheng found the system’s way of speaking very interesting.
It didn’t feel like a machine.
After all, when you mention a system, you always feel a sense of robotic dullness.
But this system felt very flexible.
Even its dialogue felt like a real person.
Zhan Sheng asked an unrelated question: “Are you a real person?”
System: “Of course not.”
The system’s decisive answer left Zhan Sheng silent.
If it’s not a real person, what’s the difference between this dialogue and a real person’s?
Is this the terrifying power of game technology?
That’s right, being able to create such a game, simulating an intelligent customer service like a real person, doesn’t seem difficult.
After all, modern technology’s AI is already incredibly advanced.
The system was still not very perceptive at this moment, because it didn’t truly understand the player’s thoughts.
Just like it basically didn’t understand Song Jiulai’s thoughts.
If it knew Zhan Sheng was comparing it to intelligent customer service in her mind, it would be furious.
How could it, a system, be considered customer service!
After finishing her conversation with the system, Zhan Sheng looked at the game world with curious and amazed eyes.
Just as she was about to leave, Zhan Sheng saw Lian Yueqiao, the player who had initially greeted them, find her: “Huh, you’re only logging in now?”
Lian Yueqiao still had some impression of this player; although her character’s face was ugly, Zhan Sheng’s calm demeanor had left an impression.
Moreover, the other forty-nine players had already started their activities in the county town, and only this player hadn’t logged in.
Zhan Sheng was stunned: “What’s wrong?”
Lian Yueqiao said: “There are novice missions available now, all assigned to you new players. Go familiarize yourself with Demonic Beast Corpses and decompose materials. Otherwise, if you’re afraid of Demonic Beasts later, you won’t have a game experience. Clean up the battlefield outside, and you’ll get Points.”
Don’t say this is bullying new players; it’s precisely an opportunity for new players to earn Points.
After all, some Spiritual Fields were destroyed, and the Sect needed to recuperate.
Old players don’t dislike earning few Points.
The Points awarded for cleaning up the battlefield are not bad, because there are too many Demonic Beast Corpses, and decomposing them with Spiritual Energy is quite troublesome. They get one for each decomposition, and the Sect Master also gives Points rewards. She is incredibly generous now, unlike when the server just opened.
The players all expressed that only at this moment could they feel the Sect Master’s love for them.
The new players now are also lucky to have come at a good time.
“Really? How do I accept it?”
Zhan Sheng was naturally very enthusiastic.
She was willing to decompose Demonic Beasts and understand the rules of this world.
Let alone decomposing Demonic Beast Corpses, even carrying manure—she wouldn’t necessarily refuse after considering it.
After all, everything in the game world is new, and dignity is not important at all.
“You don’t need to accept it. Go to the outskirts now. There’s a pile of corpses there. You can decompose First Order Demonic Beasts. Learn the Cultivation Method first, otherwise, you won’t know how to use Spiritual Energy.”
Lian Yueqiao explained patiently: “Getting started with Spiritual Energy is a bit difficult at first, but once you understand it, it’s very simple and interesting. Take your time.”
Zhou Xiao and the others had also long discovered that among so many players, Lian Yueqiao was not only rich but also very patient.
When speaking with other players, she always had a tolerant tone, and her words always conveyed a sense of seniority.
They all guessed that Lian Yueqiao was probably a bit older.
They couldn’t guess her exact age.
Lian Yueqiao had proactively come to greet the new players.
Zhan Sheng nodded: “Thank you.”
The old players in this game are also very friendly to new players.
Lian Yueqiao: “You’re welcome, little girl.”
Zhan Sheng: “…”
Zhan Sheng, who was thirty-five in reality, couldn’t help but laugh and cry.
She never expected that one day she would be called a little girl in a game.
Zhan Sheng noticed that old players were already posting in the Sect’s internal channel.
【Zhou Nüzi: New players, don’t crowd. The mission is here at the city gate. Only one gate has been built on the city wall so far; you’ll see it when you come over. 】
【Wu Dahu: Old players are leading teams to fight Demonic Beasts. Interested players, private message me to join the team. Those without Points, come to the city gate to find me. Only five spots available! 】
【Gu Yunxi: Old players are leading teams to gather materials. For the life and research groups. New players interested, come join—if you absolutely must have me lead you to fight Demonic Beasts, that’s also possible. 】
These two were clearly taking on missions to guide new players.
【Fan Guozhou: The planting group is recruiting again. We need to plant Spirit Herbs long-term and cannot leave the Sect frequently, so we are not recruiting combat players. 】
【Lin Yuyu: Finally, I can post in the Sect. I’m buying Artifact Refining Materials, a large quantity of Spirit Ore and Spirit Materials, no one is refused. Requirements are wholesale price. The Demonic Beast Materials in Wang’an County are saturated now, so I won’t accept market price+++++ 】
【Ma Xiaoben: What are you thinking? Even if Wang’an County is saturated, isn’t there still the Peach Blossom Sect? You dare not accept market price! 】
【Daoist Priest: The Peach Blossom Sect will likely be saturated soon too… Our Sect collects Spirit Materials too quickly. 】
【Ma Xiaoben: Hurry up and open up the Liuyun Sect and Netherworld Sect! 】
【Ye Xuan: A reminder to old and new players, if you encounter disciples of the Fierce Eagle Sect, remember to avoid them. This damned Sect has a feud with the Flying Sparrow Sect and is spreading rumors near the Peach Blossom Sect that the Flying Sparrow Sect is about to be destroyed. 】
【Daoist Priest: You can tolerate this? We are also considered part of the Flying Sparrow Sect, go up and beat them! 】
【Ye Xuan: They are in the Late Qi Condensation Stage, I’ll beat your grandpa! 】
Zhan Sheng took a look and found it all very interesting.
She arrived at the city gate and indeed saw many busy new and old players.
The battle was incredibly intense, leaving behind a lot of materials, and even a few Tier 3 Demonic Beasts could be quite profitable.
However, with so many materials, Wang’an County alone couldn’t possibly handle it.
For now, they would decompose them and store them in the Sect.
Each player’s combat and processing methods differed, and the awarded Points were also different. Song Jiulai planned to reward them after this batch of materials was sold.
Otherwise, if they were rewarded Points now, they would immediately exchange them for Spirit Stones.
Then there wouldn’t be enough Spirit Stones!
Zhan Sheng didn’t join the old players’ teams first but headed towards the outskirts.
As soon as she reached the outskirts, Zhan Sheng knew this mission was still a bit challenging.
Layer upon layer, dense Demonic Beast Corpses were piled up, posing a significant challenge to one’s vision and stomach.
Old players had managed to become somewhat desensitized, but new players were already returning to vomit.
Zhan Sheng was relatively used to it.
Because she thought, no matter how unpleasant it was, it wouldn’t be as bad as seeing a pile of human bodies.
However, the smell was indeed quite pungent.
Another update coming soon.
