The Fourth Disaster: People become gods through high martial arts and gaming

Chapter 284 We don't produce training methods, but we are the porters of civilization.

What are they planning to do?

"Do they intend to capture those prisoners as well?"

Fan Sen and Lan Yu watched as the Obsidian Martial Arts School disciples began to besiege a prisoner in the distance. They felt that these people from the Obsidian Martial Arts School had gone mad. They actually dared to target prisoners in the training ground. What did they take this forbidden area for?

The various faction teams that entered the lower level of the Fog Mountain Prison all avoided the prisoners in these cultivation places like the plague, fearing that it would attract all the prisoners out of the cultivation places and then they would have no chance to explore the lower level again.

As a result, the disciples of the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy acted as if they were wolves that hadn't eaten for three days, and when they saw the prisoners in the training grounds, they immediately attacked them.

However, the two had to admit that these disciples of the Obsidian Martial Arts School were very skilled and exceptionally powerful.

Normally, it would take two super geniuses like them to suppress a prisoner, but in front of those Obsidian Martial Arts School disciples who were at the Bone Forging Realm, one person could withstand them head-on, and even trade blows for injuries, all to cause impact damage to the prisoner's mechanical body and increase energy consumption.

This fighting style, in just a few minutes of combat, left the Obsidian Martial Arts School disciple, who was at the Bone Forging Realm, covered in wounds and bleeding profusely, clearly not long to live. Yet, he continued to exchange wounds for wounds, fighting until the very last moment.

After three or four disciples at the Bone Forging Realm died in turn, the prisoner who had been besieged also exhausted a lot of energy and began to retreat towards the place of cultivation.

However, the disciples of the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy seemed to have anticipated this, and instead of just one Bone Forging Realm disciple, two of them attacked together, completely suppressing the prisoner and preventing him from advancing towards his training ground. Furthermore, other disciples of higher-level martial artists would occasionally rush up and self-destruct, just to force the prisoner to retreat and defend himself.

After fighting for more than two hours, the prisoner, exhausted from the intense battle, collapsed to the ground. Dozens of members of the Obsidian Martial Arts School died as a result, yet the school continued their relentless attack, with later disciples going on to kill other prisoners.

This left Fan Sen, Lan Yu, and the others, who had been watching from a distance, completely dumbfounded.

"They're insane! These people are all insane! Is it really necessary to go to such lengths to capture a prisoner? These are all super geniuses capable of fighting against Blood Condensation Realm cultivators!" Vansen looked at the Obsidian Martial Arts School disciples who went to attack the prisoner again, his heart filled with incomprehension.

Any super genius is a little darling of a powerful force.

Losing just a few would be enough to make the top powers in the four domains feel the pain, but losing more than ten would drive even the domain cities of the four domains crazy, since they are the foundation of a power and the future pillars of the nation.

However, Obsidian Martial Arts Academy sacrificed so many super geniuses to capture a prisoner with unknown gains, which doesn't seem like a worthwhile deal at all, but the people at Obsidian Martial Arts Academy are happy to do it.

Aside from the word "madman," he really didn't know how else to describe Obsidian Martial Arts School.

However, at the same time, Vansen also truly regretted canceling the cooperation with Obsidian Martial Arts School.

A lone prisoner, plus a group of prisoners released from the training grounds—if he had cooperated with the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy back then, he could have gotten a share of the profits.

Even if he only gets assigned to one prisoner, he'll be set for life.

While the crucial information available to each prisoner is uncertain—it's quite possible that the data stored in the guard robots doesn't contain any training methods or martial arts techniques—there will definitely be a significant amount of combat videos recorded by the guard robots, which would be invaluable for studying training methods and martial arts techniques.

After all, martial artists who have reached their level can begin to create martial arts techniques that suit them. Some powerful geniuses can even modify extraordinary martial arts techniques to make them suitable for themselves. In particular, these extraordinary martial arts techniques have been mastered to perfection, and it is no exaggeration to call them masters in this field.

Given sufficient resources, especially high-level combat data, it's not impossible to extract and evolve martial arts techniques that can be ranked among the extraordinary levels, or even stronger.

But he missed this opportunity...

Meanwhile, after the player delivered the guard robot to Lin Qi and Shefina, both of them, who had been waiting, were stunned.

One...two...three...

At first glance, there were six guard robots, which made both Shefina and Precia doubt their eyes, especially Shefina, who felt as if she were dreaming.

She had spent a full year preparing to capture that lone prisoner, and even then, she still failed.

As a result, Obsidian Martial Arts Academy captured six people in less than a day, including the lone prisoner she wanted.

"Miss Shefina, this is the prisoner you requested. I have now fulfilled my promise. I hope that after he gets out, you can send over the prisoner's information and the twenty machine tools as soon as possible." Lin Qi pointed to the agreed-upon guard robot and said with considerable joy.

Although he had long guessed that capturing these guard robots would not be difficult for the players, it was just a matter of time, he did not expect that he would capture six in less than a day, a number that far exceeded his expectations.

The guard robots are all at least at the early stage of the Blood Coagulation Realm, and the weaker guard robots usually act in groups, making them more difficult to capture. Solo prisoners are extremely rare. There are only 197 players who have entered the lower area. In his opinion, it would be good if he could capture a few in three days.

Making six a day now is definitely a huge achievement.

“No problem.” Xie Feina looked at Lin Qi, who had given up the lone prisoner without saying a word, and said readily, “After we get out, I will have the Domain City transport twenty machine tools to the City of Light. As for the data of this guard robot, I will give you a copy in a while, Master Lin.”

"You can give it to me in a little while? Do you have the equipment to directly extract data from the guard robot?" Lin Qi looked at Xie Feina with slight surprise.

In his understanding, the civilization that guarded the robots was completely different from theirs. Deciphering the data of the Star Energy Civilization would definitely take a lot of time. Even though Domain City had previously analyzed a lot of things in the prison, it was not an easy task.

As for the prisoners he obtained, he would have Luo Qi, a mechanic skilled in mechanical data, slowly analyze the guard robots after he returned. As for how long it would take to obtain the stored data recorded in the guard robots, he did not know.

However, he possesses a metal plate containing some written information from the Star Energy Civilization. If Luo Qi were to learn it, the analysis speed should be significantly faster. "Yes, Domain City has been researching prisons for over a century, possessing considerable understanding of this civilization's culture, writing system, and mechanical equipment. Furthermore, there are decommissioned guard robots in the upper and middle zones, which Domain City has also studied extensively. Therefore, they have specially designed an analysis device that can quickly extract the stored data from these guard robots." Shefina nodded, showing a soccer ball-sized device from her backpack. "However, our current research cannot extract the memory areas of the guard robots, so what we can obtain from these prisoners depends entirely on luck."

"After you finish analyzing this device, could you sell me one?" Lin Qi looked at the analysis device in Xie Feina's hand, somewhat tempted.

Although he has a way to analyze these guard robots, it would take a long time, which would greatly affect his improvement speed and the growth rate of the Obsidian Martial Arts School.

If he could obtain this device directly, he could quickly access the stored information of these prisoners, and perhaps even quickly obtain the Star Energy Civilization martial arts and training methods he desired. After all, for other forces, this place is only open for three days a year for prison visits, but for him, it is open all year round.

The only problem is that only these players can enter, and these players cannot bind to other respawn points, otherwise it will overwrite the respawn points in the prison.

However, none of this is a problem. As long as the rewards offered are high enough, players who can be teleported to the prison upon death will not let this opportunity pass them by.

Then these players will be able to continuously capture these prisoners and transport them outside the prison.

After the entire Wushan Prison was closed, only exits were allowed, and entry was not permitted. Of course, it was not easy to stay in the prison outside of visiting hours.

The fog that shrouded the prison was so thick that even if an ordinary person was wearing a second-tier armor that was completely airtight, they would still be mentally corrupted if they were deep inside it. If they stayed there for a long time, they would go insane. Some people who wanted to stay in the prison to wait for their release the following year all died in the end. So after that, no one dared to stay in the prison outside of visiting hours.

However, this doesn't matter to the players. Whether it's mental or physical death, the players will be resurrected. It will just slightly affect the difficulty of capturing prisoners.

As long as he captures enough prisoners, he won't have trouble obtaining the legacy of the Star Energy Civilization.

“This is a secret of Domain City and is prohibited from being traded outside.” Shefina shook her head, but quickly smiled and said, “Of course, if Master Lin offers a high enough price, I can accept Domain City’s punishment and sell one to Master Lin.”

"Senior sister, are you crazy?" Precia, who was standing next to her, couldn't help but stop her. "This instrument was developed by our teacher with great difficulty. If it's gone, our teacher might even cancel your application to become a tutor."

“It’s alright. As long as I can break through to the Blood Condensation Realm with even greater potential, I can apply to join the garrison even without mentor qualifications.” Shefina waved her hand, her gaze resolute.

Unlike other cities, to obtain resources from a domain city, especially high-level resources, one must make various contributions to the domain city.

Becoming a mentor in the domain city is the simplest way to gain contribution points. All you need to do is teach the new students who enter the domain city each year. Generally, all you need is the strength of a high-level Blood Condensation Realm cultivator.

Once she enters the Blood Condensation Realm normally, she will soon reach the strength of the high-level Blood Condensation Realm.

However, she did not want to simply advance to the Blood Condensation Realm and become just an ordinary super genius or an ordinary mentor in the Domain City.

Her goal is to become an elder, a professor in the domain city, or a great figure like her teacher.

She now felt that this was the moment, or rather, the greatest opportunity she might ever have in her life.

"Miss Shefina, please state your conditions." Lin Qi looked at Shefina and said directly, "As long as it's not too unreasonable, I can accept it."

Being able to analyze the guard robot's instruments in a short time was something he was determined to achieve, especially since he also had a lot of trouble on his side, particularly facing Earth Star Pharmaceuticals.

Even if Earth Star Pharmaceuticals doesn't send a Blood Condensation Realm expert over in the short term, he still has to fight. With the current strength of the players, they are still somewhat lacking.

If he could acquire the training methods and martial arts techniques of the Star Energy Civilization, his chances of success against Earth Star Pharmaceuticals would undoubtedly be much greater.

"Master Lin is indeed straightforward." Shefina smiled slightly. "My condition is very simple. I just need to retrieve the stored data of the other five guard robots. I wonder if Master Lin would be willing?"

"The other five?" Lin Qi glanced at the other five guard robots lying down, thought for a moment and said, "Okay, Miss Shefina, you can start the extraction now."

"You agreed?" Shefina looked at Lin Qi, her expression slightly surprised.

The guard robots were incredibly difficult to capture. She had originally planned to negotiate with Lin Qi, at least to get the stored data of three more guard robots so that she could have a chance to inherit the legacy. Even if these guard robots weren't strong, it would undoubtedly be much more valuable.

After all, even the weakest guard robot had training methods and martial arts skills that it learned in its lifetime that were incomparable to those of the Domain City.

“Yes, but after you get this data, you are the only one allowed to see it. Also, give me that instrument directly.” Lin Qi nodded, showing no regret or hesitation.

For the major powers that cannot capture the guard robots, the stored data of these guard robots may be extremely valuable, but to him, it is just the data of five guard robots. As long as he has the equipment, he can extract as much as he wants later.

Moreover, if only Xie Feina can see it, even if the data is truly valuable, its effectiveness will be limited.

He even planned to hold an auction in Red Moon Town after the prison closed, inviting various forces to bid on the data of the prisoners in order to earn a large amount of energy crystals and energy potions.

If this auction goes well, it might attract even more talent to join the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy. After all, if he wants to improve his management authority, he needs a large number of people to join the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy.

"Okay, I'll extract it right away."

After a moment of stunned silence, Shefina quickly picked up her instruments and began extracting the stored data from each of the guard robots.
