Chapter 46: Welcoming Event, Player Training
Song Jiulai wanted to post.
But what was the use of posting now? The Players had already arrived, and it was no different from them transmigrating.
Sooner or later, they would post on the internet, trying to get something for nothing.
With these 20 new Players plus 50 old Players, their Sect’s scale had increased again in the blink of an eye.
The number of people was even comparable to the Flying Sparrow Sect, just the quality was a bit lower.
But what era was the Flying Sparrow Sect from, and what era was the Longevity Sect from?
There was no comparison.
Song Jiulai prepared to formulate a grand plan.
Since they were going to be kings of the mountain, they had to connect and open up the surrounding areas.
Wang’an County alone was too small.
It took two days to get to First Mountain.
Why not build roads?
If only there were subways, Players at the Qi Condensation stage could reach First Mountain in at most a few hours…
Building subways in a cultivation world.
Song Jiulai found the thought of it beautiful.
Of course, she was just dreaming now.
Yunzhou was great, with no official supervision, and the Flying Sparrow Sect didn’t interfere with Mortals.
It was too convenient for her to grow stronger.
Although Cultivators sought Cultivation and Ascension, the System’s tasks clearly required her to strengthen the Sect.
Just cultivating in seclusion wouldn’t do. A Sect was like a Company; if it didn’t develop externally, where would the Spirit Stones come from!
To get rich, build roads first.
This was an eternal truth, convenient for Mortals and also for Cultivators.
Song Jiulai’s actual goal was to head towards Liuxian City, in the opposite direction of First Mountain.
But the target there was too obvious. Liuxian City had a Major Sect with a Nascent Soul Stage expert guarding it, which they definitely couldn’t afford to provoke at this stage. It was better to develop towards First Mountain first.
Players could also hunt Demonic Beasts for training.
The System suddenly sighed, “You truly are from Huaxia.”
Song Jiulai: “System, why do you sigh like that?”
System: “A Cultivator at the Mid Qi Condensation Stage wouldn’t have your boldness. You’re even eyeing a Major Sect with a Nascent Soul Stage expert.”
“What are you talking about? What kind of talk is that? This is called free development! The number of Players will only increase. If I don’t expand the territory, how will I let people in?”
“I’m not eyeing the Major Sect. Anyway, when the Sect grows stronger, it will eventually clash with the Major Sects. Who knows what the outcome will be? My life was a fluke anyway.” Song Jiulai shook her head, “If it doesn’t work out, I’ll just play it safe for a while longer.”
As long as she didn’t cross the line, no one would bother her, no matter how successful she was in Wang’an County.
The new Players had all arrived. She instructed the System to issue the tasks she had prepared.
【Ding, all new Players have arrived. The welcome event will now be announced】
【1. Hunting Demonic Beasts for training can increase cultivation more rapidly. After heading to First Mountain to hunt Demonic Beasts, donating the Demonic Beast Materials to the Sect will earn double event Points within a limited time. This event can be done solo or in a team and will end in half a month.】
【2. The first ten Players to reach the Mid Qi Condensation Stage will receive additional Point rewards.】
【Warm reminder: Various hunting activities do not guarantee Player survival rates. There will be other Sect disciples at First Mountain to provide assistance and protection, but if accidental deaths occur, accounts will still be banned. Players should choose at their own discretion.】
As soon as this event was announced, many Players who had been slacking off became restless.
“Holy crap, hunting Demonic Beasts? The same ones the Sect Master had us sell not too long ago?”
“So the Sect Master was out adventuring earlier. The Sect is too poor now, so they’re starting to make us go out adventuring too.”
“Ah, the event doesn’t guarantee revival either?”
“That’s normal, after all, this game doesn’t have a revival mechanism.”
“…Damn, so dying would be for nothing. I’m a bit reluctant to go.”
“What are you chickening out for? It’s a cultivation game, do you really want to be a Life Player?”
The Player community began to quickly band together.
Mainly, since the event didn’t restrict whether it was solo or team-based, it was definitely safer to team up.
Compared to some Players who didn’t want to go, there were quite a few Players who wanted to hunt Demonic Beasts.
Because during this time, they had already inquired about the basic situation of the Yunzhou Continent.
At First Mountain, there were already disciples from other Sects to provide support. If they encountered extremely dangerous situations and called for help loudly, they would likely be rescued.
As long as they played it safe and stuck together in a large group, they could even fight Tier 2 Demonic Beasts!
Zhou Xiao had already learned from disciples of the Flying Sparrow Sect through connections. They would go out about once a year, but it was just hit-and-run tactics. No one had the strength of Song Jiulai, who could directly stay at First Mountain without returning by using long-range support.
The probability of death was extremely low.
If they could go, there was no reason why Players teaming up would be more dangerous.
Unless the Dog Planner was inhuman and deliberately spawned a swarm of Demonic Beasts.
But after playing for so long, they had a certain understanding of the game’s freedom. This game didn’t seem like it had a Planner truly intervening; instead, it was more like a world that had evolved freely, with its own rules.
The game’s Technology was already so advanced, perhaps it was a self-calculating AI Computer.
Even Chen Miaomiao, who was engrossed in researching Spirit Herbs, was going.
Moreover, the three of them directly formed a team.
Han Tian, Chen Miaomiao, and Zhou Xiao formed a small team first.
Han Tian planned to invite Jiang Ya, but Jiang Ya said his cousin had entered the game, and he wanted to team up with his cousin.
Considering some safety issues, Han Tian still asked Jiang Ya to bring his cousin along, and they could form a team of five.
Zhou Xiao only then realized that the casual-looking Player who had been crying since entering the game was Jiang Ya’s cousin, and his Talent wasn’t low either.
“It’s a rare double Points event, we definitely have to cherish it.”
Han Tian analyzed the Planner’s intention behind the event: “If we miss this chance, it’s gone. Tier 1 Demonic Beasts are still easy to kill. We must stay at First Mountain for these half a month. Once we get used to the feeling of increasing cultivation, we’ll actively train even without events.”
It had to be said that Han Tian had quite accurately understood Song Jiulai’s intentions.
If it weren’t for the Mid Qi Condensation task hanging here, she wouldn’t even want to issue the double Points event!
There was still a crucial issue: “When we log off, our bodies will remain here motionless. Won’t it be quite dangerous to be stopped there?”
Han Tian: “So we can only log off in shifts, not all at once. At most two people can log off simultaneously. We need to arrange the time properly.”
Zhou Xiao’s head hurt upon hearing this: “I rarely stay up late playing games, I didn’t expect to have to start staying up late for this game. But it’s not a big problem. I’ve been playing for a long time recently, and my body feels relaxed when I log off. This game doesn’t seem to make people feel very tired.”
In fact, it made them feel energetic.
If Zhou Xiao wasn’t afraid of any side effects, she could spend 24 hours a day in the game.
Chen Miaomiao frowned: “Then should I not go for this event? I’ve been very busy lately, and I only get to log in when I have spare time. I’m afraid I’ll be called offline at any moment.”
