The Fourth Calamity: People in High Martial Arts, Gods in Games

Chapter 136 Above the Warriors and Limited-Time Events

"Brother Qin Mu, do you know if there are any powerful martial arts universities or martial arts schools in the suburbs of Azure Sky?" Lin Qi didn't rush to accept Qin Mu's invitation, but instead asked, "Or are there any very powerful martial arts families residing there?"

"Azure Sky is quite well-known in this area. I don't know if there are any powerful martial arts schools or martial arts families in the suburbs, but Azure Sky's most famous martial arts universities are all in the city center and downtown. The situation in the suburbs is actually similar to that of major cities." Qin Mu looked at Lin Qi strangely. "Why are you asking these questions? These places don't actually have much profit. The places with resources are weapon shops, pharmacies, and high-end shops, especially the factories that manufacture weapons and potions. They definitely have a lot of good stuff that they don't sell to the public."

"No?" Lin Qi frowned slightly.

It would be a lie to say he wasn't tempted by the martial arts cultivation resources in the Azure Sky, but what he wanted most right now was the martial arts training methods.

Especially the training methods for martial artists.

Although the Wildfire Secret Technique in his possession was a good thing, it was only a mid-level martial artist's training method. At most, it could only be trained to the limit of a high-level martial artist, and there was no way to go any further.

In the past few days, he has used his authority in the Martial Arts Association to investigate thoroughly. The Martial Arts Association does have training methods for those above the level of martial artists, but to fully join the Martial Arts Association, one must make enough contributions to redeem them.

Another way to acquire them is to enter the Genius Training Camp. Once you become a high-level martial artist, you can choose to learn training methods above the martial artist level. However, learning these training methods will also bind you to the high-level forces of the City of Light, and you will be subject to their control in the future.

This kind of constraint is not an ordinary constraint; it is a true constraint on life, like planting nano-bombs in the brain. If you don't obey these forces, you will die. It's not as wonderful as ordinary people think, where genius training camps train martial artists without any cost.

Given that he can summon players and continuously grow stronger as long as he survives, he would never entrust his life and death to someone else, even if it meant a slower rate of improvement.

The most common places with training methods for martial artists are top-tier martial arts universities and martial arts schools. These places are specifically for supplying martial artists to various forces, so they should have training methods for martial artists.

Secondly, there are those large martial arts families. They might have treasured martial arts-level forging methods that could be used as the foundation of a large family. After all, the emergence of any person above the high-level martial arts level is a well-known figure in any city, enough to make a family prosper for a hundred years.

There must be quite a few large martial arts families like those in mobile cities like Azure Sky.

Even if we take a step back and assume that these places don't have any forging methods above the martial arts level, they will definitely have a lot of martial arts-level forging methods. As long as he can collect enough martial arts-level forging methods, he can improve his own forging method through system fusion. If he fuses a lot, he might be able to fuse a forging method above the martial arts level.

"Do you really want to visit the Martial Arts Academy in the Azure Sky?" Qin Mu asked curiously, looking at Lin Qi's furrowed brows.

"Yes, I want to see what those legendary top martial arts universities are like." Lin Qi nodded.

The matter of training methods can be big or small. Martial artist-level training methods are one thing, since they are widely circulated and even sold directly in many martial arts schools.

However, the training methods above the martial arts level are different. They are the foundation of a major power. Even if they are extremely difficult to learn, the major powers in the major cities will never allow anyone or any power to obtain them. After all, the pie in a city is only so big, and there is not enough for each power to share. If there is another one, each power will get even less. Naturally, they will not allow others to possess it at will.

"Don't even think about it." Qin Mu looked at the roast meat that was served, took a bite, and shook his head. "According to the information I received, the major forces in the suburbs of the major cities have secretly agreed that they will not allow any wild gangs to set foot in the urban areas of Azure Sky. They will not even allow ordinary forces in the suburbs to enter. Anyone who dares to step in will be killed without mercy."

Just as Qin Mu finished speaking, he took another bite of the roasted meat, and his eyes lit up.

"What kind of meat is this? It tastes so good, and it's so nutritious!" Qin Mu finished the three large skewers of grilled meat in a few bites and couldn't help but say, "I feel like if I could eat this kind of meat for a long time, my qi and blood would probably reach their limit in no time."

"This is crocodile-tooth rhinoceros meat," Lin Qi said with a smile as he looked at Qin Mu, who had ordered another serving. "If Brother Qin likes it, you can come often in the future. We will have it available regularly."

"Crocodile-toothed rhinoceros meat? Long-term supply?" Qin Mu looked at Lin Qi in astonishment. "I know you've advanced to the Martial Artist level, Brother Lin, but this is too amazing. I've heard that Martial Artists who hunt in teams can only buy a limited amount from their own faction members each month. You can supply it to others so freely, is that alright?"

"This is one of the ways we at Red Moon Mountain attract tourists. Each person can buy a maximum of two portions per day, and they can't take them out," Lin Qi nodded.

When Zhang Qingwei opened this restaurant, some vagrants thought of buying large quantities of monster meat to resell elsewhere. Fortunately, Zhang Qingwei was smart and knew that monster meat had great value. In addition, the source of monster meat was monster attacks, which was not very stable. Moreover, although selling it to vagrants could earn them Bits, which could be used to buy some necessary items from other vagrants and caravans, there was no martial arts contribution, and Bits could not be exchanged for martial arts points.

So they set a rule to make the restaurant bigger and stronger, using monster meat to attract diners to order other dishes later. Although these dishes don't exist yet, they can first build up the restaurant's reputation and increase its popularity.

"Alright, then I'll come at least once a week from now on. This monster meat is a real gem. I'd only ever heard about it from others before, but I never imagined it would be even better than the rumors suggested." Qin Mu said with a smile. "So, Brother Lin, does Azure Sky want to come with us? With our search and rescue team leading the way, even though we can't go to the city center, the big gangs and powerful families near the city won't dare to mess with us. After all, our main task is to shut down the mobile city's power source and keep Azure Sky in our area."

"Moreover, this search and rescue operation will only last a few days. After the higher-ups confirm that Azure Sky is safe, the city's top officials will definitely join forces to seal off Azure Sky. At that time, no outsiders will be allowed to enter. Our chance is only these few days."

"I won't go with them. Thank you for informing me, Brother Qin. I need to make some more preparations." Lin Qi shook his head, refusing to go with Qin Mu and the others.

His main goal was the Azure Sky Forging Method, which was not the same goal as Qin Mu and the others, so there was no need for them to act together.

Moreover, this time when entering the Azure Sky, we will definitely have to go into the city, and there will inevitably be conflicts with the major gangs and forces in various cities. It will be very inconvenient to go with Qin Mu.

"Alright, I have a map of Azure Sky's movement route and its location from yesterday. You'd better hurry." Qin Mu nodded, knowing that Lin Qi must have other ideas. He then gave Lin Qi a map and happily ate the barbecue.

Lin Qi and Qin Mu chatted for over an hour before saying goodbye. Qin Mu returned to the search and rescue team's rest area, while Lin Qi immediately went to the mine's rest room to check the map Qin Mu had sent.

"It's not too far from Crimson Moon Mountain." Lin Qi looked at the Azure Sky's movement route map and understood why the search and rescue team wasn't in a hurry.

According to the movement route of Azure Sky, Azure Sky is moving towards the City of Light, which means that even if the search and rescue team from the City of Light does not go there, Azure Sky, this mobile city, will take the initiative to come.

In one night, Azure Sky can reach a place about 150 kilometers away from Red Moon Mountain. After that, he can go to other places. For a considerable period of time, Azure Sky will not be more than 200 kilometers away from Red Moon Mountain. This is indeed a good opportunity for him.

"The allure of Azure Sky is too great this time. Major gangs and families in various cities will likely send a lot of people, and they might even use B-grade armor. With my current strength, even if I lead a large number of skilled players to infiltrate, it will probably be difficult for me to come out alive." Lin Qi looked at the map and couldn't help but feel a headache.

The latest novel is first published here!

Within a radius of 300 kilometers of Azure Sky, there are three cities: Myriad Star City, City of Light Chasing, and City of Nightfall. The number of gangs and powerful families in the suburbs of these three cities is unknown. If, as Qin Mu said, these forces join forces to blockade the city, it's a real possibility.

It would be extremely difficult to break in, let alone get anything and get out.

"These big gangs and families have gone to such lengths. It seems we'll have to bleed money this time." Lin Qi put away the map of the Azure Sky, took out a small box from his body containing the energy crystal that Feng Gelin had given him, and said with a hint of regret, "We'll set up a resurrection point near the Azure Sky first. If the Azure Sky doesn't stop soon, we'll have to set up a resurrection point every twenty kilometers."

Faced with a massive human wave tactic, all he could do was respond with a massive human wave tactic. Crimson Moon Mountain was too far away from Emerald Sky; by the time the players respawned and ran there, it would be too late.

However, if there is a respawn point near Azure Sky, then breaking through the encirclement of various gangs is not impossible.

The ten energy crystals give him five chances to set up resurrection points.

Lin Qi had originally planned to set up a respawn point in the Azure Sky, which would be more convenient. However, considering that the Azure Sky was such a prime target that all three major cities were keeping a close eye on it, and that there were also many people from wild gangs active there, if they discovered the player's respawn point, it would be a big problem.

Therefore, it was ultimately decided to set up a resurrection point outside Azure Sky to prevent the secret of player resurrection from being discovered as much as possible, so as to avoid any accidents.

Lin Qi then opened the system menu and posted a new event on Blue Star's official forum, which instantly ignited the entire forum.

System Announcement: The version event "Mobile City: Emerald Sky" is coming soon. This is a limited-time event and will officially start tomorrow at 8:00 AM.

System Announcement: For this version's event, players only need to reach the Apprentice level and possess a smartwatch to participate and join Master Lin Qi in exploring the mobile city of Emerald Sky.

System Announcement: This exploration of the Emerald Sky is free-for-all. Players simply need to hand over any valuable items they obtain in the Emerald Sky to the Pavilion Master, Lin Qi. Lin Qi will assess the value and award players points and contribution rewards. (Note: The closer to the city center, the more valuable items there will be, but the greater the risk will also be.)

System Announcement: During this limited-time event, the top five players who contribute the most will receive an additional reward: Level 1 Wilderness Exploration Permission. Players with Level 1 Wilderness Exploration Permission can freely explore within a 100-kilometer radius of Crimson Moon Mountain.
