Chapter 56: Insulting the Sect Master Deducts One Point
“How did he die?”
Song Jiulai was about to scream.
She had considered the possibility of players encountering accidents due to various circumstances, but she never imagined someone would actually fall to their death!
A cultivator, falling to their death!
It was utterly laughable, wasn’t it?
System: “He was drawing a resource map on the mountain, lost his footing, and fell.”
At the Early Qi Condensation stage, they couldn’t fly very well yet. The player’s fall involved a real sense of weightlessness, and the cliff was truly high, so they genuinely fell to their death.
Song Jiulai pondered blankly for three seconds.
Then she tapped her brow and the sides of her head: “Condolences.”
As the Sect Master, she could only offer condolences online.
Of course, whether she offered condolences or not wasn’t important; what was important was that Zhen Weida’s fall to his death would be announced to the entire sect.
【Ding! Player ‘Zhen Weida’ has fallen into the abyss and died. All players, please take heed.】
Su Daqiang: “Huh?”
Zhou Xiao was instantly shocked: “Holy crap, you can actually die by falling?”
Han Tian was also surprised, “This actually counts as death? Is it that buggy?”
As soon as he spoke, the live broadcast bullet comments became lively.
【What’s up?】
【Who died? Don’t tell me someone among you died?】
【Bro, put some effort into your scriptwriting. A cultivator dying by falling, don’t you find that ridiculous?】
【This is too much, cultivators can die by falling.】
…
Yes, who would believe this if it were told?
The players didn’t believe it.
Some immediately logged off.
And the player named Zhen Weida had already spammed hundreds of messages in the group chat.
【Zhen Weida: Holy crap, ahhhhhh, I died by falling, damn it, ahhhhhh】
【Zhen Weida: My account is really banned, I can’t get in anymore, ahhhhh, I don’t want to live!!!】
【Zhen Weida: I’m going to buy cigarettes now, I won’t take the elevator or the stairs】
【Zhen Weida: Damn it, this trash game, even appeals are useless. I just went up the mountain to test coal mine data, why did you judge me as falling to my death!!】
He wailed in the group chat, after all, the penalty of death leading to an account ban was too severe.
The players didn’t poke at his wounds; instead, they let him vent.
At the same time, they became even more vigilant in their hearts.
Damn, death really means an account ban, and it’s this ridiculously unfair.
Dying by falling counts, who would have thought?
Su Daqiang once again recalled how he had only gotten a skin discoloration when he was poisoned.
Fortunately, fortunately, it was good.
He patted his chest countless times in relief.
It was great that he didn’t die; he would never speak carelessly again.
After Zhen Weida finished his wailing, Su Daqiang jumped out and asked.
【Su Daqiang: Coal mine? What coal mine were you testing? Is there a coal mine in Wang’an County?】
【Zhen Weida: Yes, it’s all natural terrain, how could there not be? If I wasn’t looking for these things, I wouldn’t have gone up the mountain. Ahhhhh, I’m so angry, my grand plan, before it even began, it’s already over!】
【Yang Meimei: You’re looking for coal mines, are you really planning industrialization?】
【Zhen Weida: What else? Do you think I’m joking? Industrialization, not to mention anything else, some things can be manufactured to make money. Think about it, even if we make a simplified version of a steam train, even if the technology isn’t perfect, we can use the sect’s artifact refining technology for the drive. We can open up the road from First Mountain to Wang’an County, and then connect to other sects. How much spirit stones can we earn in between?】
【Zhen Weida: I heard their teleportation arrays are very expensive, cultivators below the Golden Core Stage can barely afford them. Our train route, although slow, is cheap.】
【Yang Meimei: It’s not very realistic. The reason major sects have divisions is to restrict the upward development of the lower classes. Even if we can build it, are you sure we won’t be targeted?】
【Zhen Weida: That depends on what the Sect Master thinks. The key issue now isn’t that, it’s that I’m dead!!!】
【Yang Meimei: Condolences.】
【Su Daqiang: Condolences.】
【Wu Dahu: R.I.P.】
【Zhen Weida: Condolences to your mother, R.I.P! I’m too lonely in reality, you guys hurry up and accompany me!】
…
Unfortunately, no matter how Zhen Weida roared, his death was a foregone conclusion.
But Zhen Weida was very unwilling.
He didn’t know when the next quota would be released, so he could only watch Han Tian’s live broadcast.
At this moment, the bullet comments were already complaining about the script of a cultivator dying by falling being too unscientific.
Zhen Weida: “…”
Yes, who could have imagined.
Who could have imagined he would actually die by falling?
Fortunately, he still had accomplices in the game—no, partners.
It’s just that his current predicament was a fatal blow to the team. He could still contact them in reality, but he didn’t know if they were proactive enough.
In any case, the matter of a player dying would definitely make the other players more cautious.
But regardless, the tasks still had to be carried out.
Song Jiulai didn’t know about Zhen Weida’s plan. If she had, perhaps her soft heart would have allowed her to bend the rules for Zhen Weida when the next quota was released.
What a pity.
On First Mountain, with the sect’s supplies, the way she and the players fought demonic beasts was not normal.
And Song Jiulai also received what could be considered good news.
With a few days left before the event ended, the first disciple to reach the Mid Qi Condensation stage appeared.
That was Mu Qiu.
This female cultivator was truly formidable. From the very beginning, she chose to fight alone, and even encountered situations where three demonic beasts ganged up on her.
She managed to deal with them all.
Of course, like Song Jiulai, she chose to use elixirs, but her combat awareness was still outstanding.
It was not surprising that she was the first to advance to the Mid Qi Condensation stage.
Song Jiulai always had a reward for first place.
Considering cultivation was important, after some thought, Song Jiulai rewarded Mu Qiu with 100 points.
【Ding, congratulations to player Mu Qiu for becoming the first disciple in the sect to reach the Mid Qi Condensation stage, receiving a reward of 100 points.】
“Holy crap!”
Daoist Priest and the others, who were still fighting demonic beasts, almost jumped up: “That amazing?”
“Mu Qiu.” Wu Dahu and the others who entered first quickly knew who it was: “The second-ranked Big Shot in talent, can’t afford to offend her. It’s normal for her to be the first.”
Ma Xiaoniao was a little surprised: “I thought it would be Big Shot Han Tian and the others. Isn’t the top talent with them? It’s a shame we can’t watch live broadcasts in the game, otherwise we could see their speed.”
Wu Dahu hissed: “Fighting in a group probably limits their room for maneuver. Mu Qiu fought alone, a heroine among women. Anyway, I wouldn’t dare.”
In a game where death means a permanent ban, daring to choose to fight alone, that courage alone was not that of an ordinary player.
Daoist Priest: “We can’t be inferior to others either.”
Ma Xiaoben chuckled: “We’ve at least latched onto some big shots, so it’s normal for us not to progress as fast as others.”
Although they weren’t as formidable as the Big Shots, they had cheats!
They killed more demonic beasts!
Wu Dahu was still murmuring in admiration: “100 points, I didn’t expect the Sect Master, that stingy old crow, to finally loosen her purse strings.”
System: “Insulting the Sect Master, deduct one point.”
Wu Dahu: “…”
Hey, no!!
