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

Chapter 138 Exploring the Correct Way to Play the Game

Under the blazing sun, a steel city, resembling a continuous mountain range, slowly moved across a desolate plain, like a colossal steel beast that blotted out the sun and crawled across the earth. Every step it took caused the earth to tremble. Birds and beasts, as well as monsters searching for food, within a radius of several kilometers were all frightened away and dared not approach this steel behemoth even half a step.

But beneath this steel behemoth, large convoys of vehicles kept arriving from all directions, swarming into its body.

Whether it was Lin Qi, who was seeing the mobile city for the first time, or the players sitting on the roof of the vehicle, they were all shocked by the scene before them.

In the face of a steel metropolis with a radius of more than ten kilometers, whether it is a human or a monster five or six feet tall, they are not even as good as ants and can only be crushed.

"Holy crap! How much did it cost to create this scene?"

"Awesome! Absolutely amazing! This moving city alone could keep me entertained for a year. The game developers are even planning to make it a disposable map. That's incredibly generous."

"Quick! Record it! Every frame of this CG is art; if we miss it, it'll be gone forever."

"If this CG could be made into the boot-up scene for a game pod, it would definitely be a bestseller!"

The players on the medium-sized transport vehicle gazed at the mobile city of Azure Sky, utterly awestruck.

Although many people present had played more than a dozen virtual games, none of them were as breathtaking as "The Arrival of Martial Arts".

Whether it's the roar of the steel city or the vibrations from the road, especially seeing a huge city moving with a radius of more than ten kilometers, it's like having megalophobia, instilling an instinctive fear.

Just when everyone thought Lin Qi would drive the medium-sized transport vehicle into the Azure Sky like the other convoys, Lin Qi turned the steering wheel and headed towards a woodland in the distance, which puzzled Fang Zhen and the others who were driving the transport vehicle, but they still followed him.

"Qin Mu, aren't your friends planning to come with us?" Hou Fei, who was driving the transport truck, glanced at the rearview mirror with a puzzled look and found that Lin Qi and the others had gone to another place and did not intend to go in with them.

"Well, Brother Lin said he has his own things to do, so he won't be joining us," Qin Mu said with a smile.

"What a pity. If they had joined us, with their capabilities, they might have been able to explore the outskirts of the city." Hou Fei glanced at the three medium-sized transport vehicles that had entered the distant woods, sighed slightly, and did not ask any further questions.

Since the fierce battle at Crimson Moon Mountain, Obsidian Martial Arts School has become increasingly famous, and now it has even destroyed the Great Ape Gang. Its strength is considered by many to be comparable to the top ten gangs in the wild.

Given that the master of the martial arts school, Lin Qi, is already a martial artist, the Obsidian Martial Arts School is likely to move to the outskirts of the City of Light in the future, and will have a considerable influence in the entire suburbs.

After he was promoted to a quasi-martial artist, he kept getting closer to Qin Mu, largely because of the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy.

"Have they left?" The dignified winged man on the other transport vehicle glanced at Lin Qi and the others who hadn't followed, a hint of disgust in his eyes. "It's good that these humans have some self-awareness. If they had continued to follow, I would have had to have someone else deal with them."

"It's just a small outlaw gang that wiped out the Great Ape Gang. There's no need to pay it any mind." The young man from the Feather Clan sitting to the side said dismissively. "The main purpose of the clan sending us here this time is to target the Martial Arts Association of Azure Sky and the strongholds of those major forces. Even if they come with us, they will be stopped by the gangs and clan members guarding the city."

"Yes! Young Master Moke!" Even though the dignified man possessed the blood and energy of a mid-level martial artist and was wearing B3-grade armor, he still responded respectfully to the noble young man before him.

Moko Los, the eldest son of the Los martial arts family, is a martial arts family that ranks among the top ten in the entire suburbs of the City of Light. Even the likes of the Phosphorus Fire Gang and the Gorilla Gang in the suburbs have to show them respect.

Moko Los himself, at the young age of less than twenty-two, has already become a beginner-level martial artist and is also a potential top performer certified by the Martial Artist Association. He is a genius who is 100% guaranteed to enter the genius training camp this year. What are intermediate-level martial artists or advanced-level martial artists? They are nothing in front of Moko Los.

On the other side, in the wilderness and woodland, Lin Qi drove for more than a kilometer before finally stopping in front of a ravine to let all the players get out of the vehicle.

"Master, aren't we supposed to be exploring the Azure Sky?" Ragnarok looked at the Azure Sky, which was at least two or three kilometers away, and was puzzled as to why Lin Qi had gotten off the bus here.

"We're going to explore the Azure Sky, but before we do, we need to set up camp and have a place to rest." Lin Qi glanced at the players present and said in a very formulaic way, "This temporary resting place costs 3,000 points per person to bind. If you want to bind someone, you can come and find me. If you don't have anyone you want to bind, you can go to explore the Azure Sky on your own now."

The entire audience was stunned when Lin Qi uttered those words.

"Temporary respawn point?"

"Have game developers finally shown some humanity?"

"Three thousand points, how come it's a thousand more expensive than Red Moon Mountain?"

"This is a limited-time event. You should be grateful if there's a nearby respawn point. If you think it's too expensive, you don't have to bind it. It'll just be a matter of traveling a few hours to get here."

"Does anyone have 600 points to lend me? I'll pay you back 1200 when I get back from Emerald City!"

Originally, everyone thought that they should be careful about dying during this limited-time event. After all, they had driven for more than four hours to get here, and they didn't know how many days the event would last. They certainly couldn't afford to die easily. Many people even thought about how to survive in the Azure Sky. They even took out loans to buy the Electromagnetic Gun just in case something happened.

"The plan needs to be revised." Fang Zhen looked at the temporary resurrection point that could be bound and quickly gathered the team members.

At this moment, not only Fang Zhen's team, but all the teams present also decided to change their original plans.

"Has everyone been bound?" Luo Wushang asked, looking at Zhang Qingwei and the others who had gathered around.

"Everyone has been bound." Zhang Qingwei nodded and reported to his supervisor.

"Now that we have a temporary respawn point, we need to change our plans." Luo Wushang glanced at the twenty-six people who had gathered and quickly gave instructions. "For the sake of exploration efficiency, everyone will move around from now on. Quasi-Martial Artists can act alone, while those below Quasi-Martial Artist level will act in pairs. If you encounter any tough challenges, make a note of them first, and then team up with others to tackle them. We will meet up again in two hours to process the exploration items. If there are no problems, then let's move out now."

Everyone nodded, and no one had any objections.

As for the other teams, they all chose the same method, splitting their original teams into several, or even more than ten, and in an instant, they rushed towards the emerald sky like locusts, disappearing into the forest.

The latest novel is first published here!

"I hope they can find some good stuff back." Lin Qi looked at the vanished players, feeling quite distressed about the energy crystals in his hand.

Energy crystals are extremely rare. Even if a player uses 3,000 points to bind one once, and there are 100 players, that's 300,000 points, which is still no match for the value of two energy crystals.

A verdant sky.

As a large number of players entered this mobile city, they all tacitly dispersed to explore on their own.

"Sister Xiaoyuan, what do you think we should do to explore this place?" A young girl with bright eyes and white teeth, whose strength had reached the advanced apprentice level, couldn't help but look at the members of various gangs on the street and asked, "This place is so big, and there are so many other gang members robbing around. It might be difficult for us to avoid them and collect good things."

Xiaoyuan, a top player in the strategy guide team, specifically recruited a complete newbie girl to join the team in order to better create guides and help new players.

Now that it's a limited-time event, Xiaoyuan is going crazy and plans to take this little girl named Firefly Emperor along on her journey. This way, the strategy she develops will be more realistic and convincing.

"How do you usually play exploration games?" Xiao Yuan asked the Firefly Emperor with great curiosity.

"Me?" Emperor Firefly thought for a moment and said, "I just wander around, take pictures when I see nice scenery, and pick up anything I find."

"Okay, I got it. You really are a complete newbie." Xiaoyuan paused for a moment before saying, "Then I'll teach you how to play the exploration game now, and I'll also give everyone a basic introduction."

"In any exploration game, the game developers will hide treasures in some unknown corner, which is where enemies come and go. So the first step for newcomers to become stronger in the game is not to miss any place or enemy, so that they will not miss the treasure. Therefore, wherever you see a place that you can enter, especially a place with many enemies, it is usually a place with treasure."

"Moreover, the loot from enemies is usually just as good in places with treasures, so we can't let any of these enemies get away; we have to eliminate them all."

"However, the game map this time is too big, and it is impossible to explore it one by one. To be efficient, we can only find areas with many enemies. So what we need to do next is to clear out the enemies in these areas, explore the area quickly, and then follow the route to advance towards the center."

"Do you understand?"

"I understand!" The Firefly Emperor nodded his little head. "We just need to kill all these enemies to find valuable treasures. That way, we can just clear our way along the map without having to go to other places to look for treasures."

"Yes!" Xiaoyuan nodded frantically, feeling that the child was teachable. "Alright, let's begin!"
