Building a sect from scratch.

Chapter 494 Human
Although Mo Yu and Mo Ye both share the surname Mo, they are actually completely unrelated. Before becoming Wang Qiqing's disciples, they were not only strangers, but they were not even from the same province.

Besides their genders, the two also had drastically different luck.

If Mo Yu was the senior student in the lab, who earned Wang Qiqing's approval through his abilities and was handpicked to work in the project team, then Mo Ye was simply lucky. He won a spot in the incredibly low-probability lottery on the official website and was successfully brought into the project team as a newly initiated disciple.

Therefore, Mo Yu joined the community "I Love Farming" in the Guixu Realm, while Mo Ye, as a private account, joined the community "Eternal Righteousness" before knowing the true situation.

When she finally finished revising her thesis late at night and logged into the game, she found that her limited-time battlefield mission points had increased by thousands of points!

If we use the old exchange rates of points, contribution points, and prestige points, we could already exchange them for a high-end piece of equipment from the sect merchant!
She stared in disbelief as she typed in the team chat: "No, I've only been offline for most of the day, what have you all been doing?!"

The team channel, which had been relatively quiet due to the low number of users late at night, suddenly became lively.

"Young man, you're awake? The surgery was a success. Get ready to embrace your wonderful, gentle life!"

"Wait a minute, Ye Zi seems to be a soft and gentle girl!"

"【Ink Leaves Dye a Thousand Branches】! Be prepared! You've taken advantage of everyone's hard work this time, so you absolutely have to give us a few hundred spirit talismans as compensation! How dare you!"

"What are you dreaming about! Ye Zi, just ignore him! He's getting something for nothing!"

"Pah! If that's the case, then who in our guild didn't get their points for free?"

"That's not true of Sister Pig!"

"But she didn't put in much effort!"

"But the NPC who came to help was someone she hired! Tell me, without her, would you have gotten so many points?"

The players were exchanging witty remarks, and it took Mo Ye a while to understand the whole story.

It turns out that the team that Second Senior Sister was in, which was stuck on a battlefield mission, urgently requested outside help!
This is a common occurrence. When players find something good in the wild, or need help from highly skilled cultivators, they will issue "reverse requests" to the natives in the game.

These "reverse delegations" are showing a trend of polarization.

Some players can ask NPCs for help without paying any price, and many locals even rush to help. This group of players is represented by the "Master" who inexplicably gained a high reputation in Guangcheng Sect.

Another group of players has to pay a heavy price to obtain the labor of NPCs—and this group of players is actually the mainstream, since the market value of the labor of true cultivators is very high.

As for players like [Pig Charge], it goes without saying that they are definitely the former!
Mo Ye hadn't expected that the outside help her second senior sister had invited wasn't an ordinary cultivator, but rather...

Black Moon Dragon King!

"Sister, you didn't see it! His cultivation level is incredibly high! He basically takes down a boss in every cage we encounter, and we don't even need to lift a finger! We just follow him around, racking up points! It's just a pity that players from other communities reported us, saying we were cheating..." At this point, her friend became very indignant: "Who cheated! We just asked NPCs for help, right? If they're jealous, they should ask them themselves! Why did they report us! Are they sore losers!"

Mo Ye felt that her relative seemed a bit off today, acting as irritable as if she were on her period. So, scratching her head helplessly, she asked, "Uh... what about that Black Moon Dragon King?"

"They got kicked off the map! There was even an announcement at the time, saying that considering some player behaviors and gameplay might disrupt the game balance and the experience of other players, NPCs were banned from entering the timed battlefield and various dungeon maps unless a hidden quest was triggered—only the sect NPCs were an exception. But everyone went to ask the senior sister, and she said that they had to do their own quests themselves..."

Mo Ye could only offer a few words of comfort to his relatives and friends, and said with a forced sense of fairness, "Actually, thinking about it, the game's official team isn't wrong. If it were that easy to earn points by inviting the Dragon King, wouldn't everyone start to focus on praying to gods and Buddhas? And if it went any further, wouldn't it become a competition to see who can win the favor of NPCs and who will have special privileges? That really undermines the fairness of the game!"

Although his relatives and friends knew in principle that Mo Ye was right, as beneficiaries of the "cheating gameplay," they were still heartbroken that the shortcut of getting free points had been blocked. So they grumbled and complained: "What kind of game fairness is this! This damn game! Where did it give you the illusion of fairness!"

"Alright, alright, I've already earned a lot of points for free, don't worry about it so much!"

Mo Ye offered a few more words of comfort, then changed the subject, asking, "By the way, what are we supposed to do now? Has the leader said? Are we still doing 'free fighting' in small groups?"

"Oh, we'll split into two groups. One group will go to the 'Rehabilitation Center' to help out and earn points, while the other group will continue exploring the limited-time battlefield map!"

The expressions on the faces of relatives and friends were strange, as if they were angry, yet also as if they were pitying.

Mo Ye was taken aback: "'Rehabilitation and Sanatorium'? What the heck is that?"

"It was just opened by Brother Dog, and it's located in Chang'an City. The house was only set up this morning, and it was kindly provided by a player. It will probably have to be moved later..."

The more they talked, the more their relatives and friends gritted their teeth: "Those humans who were rescued, they are actually... actually have normal intelligence, but most of them have serious psychological problems and their ability to live independently in society is too low, so they need to be taken in and guided slowly."

As she spoke, her relatives' eyes even reddened. She awkwardly turned her head to the side and whispered, "Can you imagine? They had no leaves to cover their bodies, yet they learned to use chopsticks, learned the language of the Central Continent, and even knew how to name themselves. They could distinguish their bloodline and family!"

"They try to imitate the survival of real human society and will also encounter magic, but it is said that once they are discovered using magic, they will be taken away and 'dealt with' by those demon cultivators."

"The way to 'deal with' them is to bury them inside the tree spirit and let the tree spirit absorb their souls until they can no longer be regarded as beings protected by the Heavenly Dao—that is, monsters that are neither dead nor alive—then they can be dug out and killed."

"In this way, eating meat will not incur karmic burdens, and the scattered fragments of souls remaining in the human body can still increase the cultivation of demon cultivators... This is probably the fundamental reason for the existence of the human sacrifice market."

"This was all told to us by an older human. He said that the people in the cages don't live past twenty-five. They are usually taken away in their early twenties. He was almost there too, but we came."

"His Central Continent language is the best. He also said that it was taught to everyone a long, long time ago by two Central Continent human cultivators who were captured, and it has been secretly passed down from generation to generation. However, it is said that they were originally kept together in captivity, but because they tried to escape, they were separated into different cages."

"It is precisely because they were separated into cages that some people have forgotten how to be a 'person,' while others have not. However, what they have in common is that all the rescued humans, even those who cannot speak and can only roar at each other, can clearly pronounce two names to us."

"Xu Zhengqing and Sun Ping."
