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

Chapter 145 Overnight Fame

"Get rich?" Ye Qinglu rolled her eyes at Yiye Fuyun. "Aren't you awake yet in the middle of the night?"

It's almost 3 a.m. now, and they've been working for several hours without any results, putting them far behind the other teams.

Forget about getting rich.

If they don't work harder, those five privilege slots will be out of their reach.

"Sis, I'm telling the truth," A Leaf in the Clouds whispered. "We've struck it rich. Sis, you should know that all the elite monsters we killed were wearing A6-level armor, right?"

"Of course I know, but what does that have to do with us entering the city?" Ye Qinglu asked.

"It's really alright." Yi Ye Fuyun looked at Ye Qinglu, whose thoughts were still stuck in the city, and said with a smile, "But our goal is just to get more contribution points, not necessarily to enter the city. Those A6-level battle armor sets are worth more than 1500 contribution points each. If we farm hundreds of sets, who can beat us in terms of contribution points?"

Ye Qinglu was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then she understood what was going on.

Previously, they were only thinking about how to get more contributions in the city, but forgot that those elite monsters themselves were the biggest contribution, especially since more than 300 of them had spawned on their street.

If we can secure 400 sets of A6-level armor, it's not impossible to sweep the top five spots in contribution rankings.

Immediately, Yi Ye Fu Yun, Ye Qing Lu, and the others caught up with Xiao Yuan Ye Kuang and the others, preparing to start farming elite monsters. They needed to get as many A6-level armors as possible before other teams discovered that there were many elite monsters on their side.

After Yi Ye Fuyun and the others left, Lin Qi looked at the medium-sized transport vehicle that was already full of A6-level battle armor, and he was deeply shocked.

Once upon a time, he dreamed of obtaining a set of A6-level armor and becoming an invincible being below the level of a martial artist.

Although he has now become a martial artist, he still longs for A6-level armor.

For a faction, A6-level armor is a guarantee of strength. The reason why the suburban gangs are so powerful is largely because they have a large number of A6-level armors.

Even if the suburban gangs suffer heavy losses of experts due to the great battle, the power of the A6-level armor allows novice apprentices to fight against quasi-martial artists, while advanced apprentices can suppress them.

The Great Ape Gang was the envy of many large wilderness gangs back then with just five sets of A6-level armor, but now he has a whole truckload of A6-level armor.

These 150+ A6-level armors, whether brought by Armored Flo or by Armored players who have just been promoted to junior apprentices, will immediately add more than 150 quasi-martial artist level combatants to the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy.

More than 150 aspiring martial artists!

This kind of power, let alone being placed among the major gangs in the wild, would be a formidable force even among the major powers in the suburbs, comparable to those ordinary gangs in the suburbs.

"It's too unsafe to leave so many A6-level armors here. Let's go back first." After thinking for a moment, Lin Qi decided to send these A6-level armors back to Crimson Moon Mountain to arm Flo and the others.

Currently, there are very few players remaining in Crimson Moon Mountain, and their strength is generally only at the beginner or intermediate level. Even with the addition of the more than forty apprentice-level experts brought by Flor, it is still difficult to manage the increasingly populated Crimson Moon Mountain.

If we could have this batch of A6-level battle armor, we wouldn't need many; just fifty sets would be enough to intimidate the entire Crimson Moon Mountain and prevent other wild forces and nomads from causing trouble on the mountain.

On the way back to Crimson Moon Mountain in Lin Qi's medium-sized transport vehicle, on the main street of the suburbs of Azure Sky, Bragi and Jasvi were attacked by another batch of gray-clad demons.

"Damn those gray-clad demons! How many of them are there? How can so many still be charging at us!" Jasvi stared at the thirty-odd players rushing towards him, his initial ease gone, replaced by speechlessness.

Normally, a force that knows it is no match for the enemy should have given up long ago. But the gray-clad demons are different. They keep charging up wave after wave, acting like madmen.

With over a hundred of their own men already lost, the Gray Demons also lost nearly two hundred experts, and these weren't just ordinary experts; many were near-martial artists and ultimate apprentices. This was a devastating blow not only to a wild force but also to an ordinary gang in the suburbs.

Given such heavy losses, a normal force would have given up long ago, but the gray-clad demon seems determined to fight to the death.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Yi Ye Fuyun and the others looked at the more than four hundred experts from various suburban forces as if they were seeing mountains of gold and seas of silver, their eyes shining.

"In this battle, once we kill one, the others will cover our squad as we take down the armor. Once they start their relentless pursuit, we'll retreat and engage in close-quarters combat. Prioritize getting the armor; put everything else aside." A Leaf of Clouds reminded the group once again, looking at the more than four hundred elite monsters charging towards them from afar.

This time, Yi Ye Fu Yun planned to learn from Fang Zhen and have three people specifically responsible for picking up the dropped armor, while the others would protect the three of them as they retreated from the battlefield. Once the armor was stored in a safe place, they would start picking it up again, until their numbers were almost depleted, and then they would bring all the armor back.

By the time they return, the other dead players will have mostly revived, allowing them to come back and farm elite monsters again – a very efficient farming method.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Soon the two sides started fighting again. This time, both Ye Qinglu and Xiao Yuan were crazy. With their cooperation, they immediately used all their strength to deal with the first member of the Ninth Street Gang who rushed up.

Martial arts skill of the martial artist level: Boundless Full Moon!

The first move of the Thunder Light Three Forms, a martial arts technique of warrior level, is the Thunder Spear!

Before the Ninth Street Gang member could even defend against Xiao Yuan's raging Boundless Full Moon, the Boundless Full Moon's powerful energy directly repelled everyone around. In the instant the Ninth Street Gang member tried to defend, Ye Qinglu seized the opportunity to unleash a lightning spear.

A blazing beam of light flashed and instantly pierced the heart of the Ninth Street Gang member, ending his life.

"Quick!" Xiaoyuan shouted frantically.

"Here they come!" A Floating Cloud behind immediately used the Leopard Shadow Step to arrive in front of the dead Ninth Street Gang member and began stripping off his armor, while the other two players cooperated from the side.

This scene left Bragi and Jasway, who were watching from a distance, completely stunned.

"What are they trying to do?"

"Do these gray-clad demons even prey on corpses?"

In their previous battles with the Gray Demon, the Gray Demon would just kill people and do nothing else, taking down as many as possible. But now, he was stripping the clothes off the dead right from the start, and everyone else was covering for them. This was the first time they had ever seen such an operation.

"No! They want the A6-level armor!" Bragi, seeing Yi Ye Fuyun stripped naked, was the first to react and shouted, "Everyone, take down the guy with the armor! We can't let them get it!"

At this moment, members of various factions also realized what was happening and rushed towards the retreating Leaf Cloud.

A level A6 armor is worth millions of bits, which is a considerable expense for the forces in the suburbs. It could even be said to be more valuable than a quasi-martial artist.

If it were stolen, the gang would definitely cause trouble afterwards, and might even make everyone pay compensation.

A set of A6-level armor, costing several million, would take a lifetime to pay off for for aspiring martial artists from large suburban gangs.

In an instant, hundreds of members from various factions chased after Yi Ye Fuyun, who was carrying armor. Yi Ye Fuyun then wandered into the alleys of the streets, while Ye Qinglu, Xiao Yuan, and others took the opportunity to kill the pursuing members of various factions.

In less than five minutes of the battle, more than twenty members of various factions had been killed, more than ten of whom had their armor stripped off. In contrast, Yi Ye Fu Yun and his group had lost less than twenty people, and Ye Qinglu and Xiao Yuan, the main force, were still unharmed.

The latest novel is first published here!

"Damn it! Fighting in the alley is disadvantageous for us. Everyone, go out to the main street and block them!" Jasvi watched the two men wreaking havoc in the alley. Such a battle would only increase their casualties. Even when he and Bragi chased after them, the two men did not fight back, but just fought and fled.

After fighting for more than ten minutes, Ye Qinglu and Xiao Yuan were finally killed, but the major forces lost nearly forty people and a total of twenty-six sets of A6-level armor, all of which were carried back to the temporary respawn point by the five members of Yi Ye Fu Yun.

This made Bragi, Jasway, and the others so angry they stomped their feet.

Unexpectedly, these gray-clad demons aren't fighting desperately this time; they've actually switched to robbery!

"Should we report this?" Jasvi looked at the missing A6-level armor and hesitated for a moment, wondering whether he should report it.

Although they won, the higher-ups certainly won't let it go so easily after losing so many A6-level armors.

"No, this absolutely cannot be uploaded," Bragi said firmly. "We can't afford such a huge loss."

Jasvi thought about it and realized that this was the only way.

As long as they don't say anything, the higher-ups won't know. When the higher-ups investigate, they'll just say those people disappeared. That way, the loss of the armor won't be their responsibility.

Nearly an hour later, another group of gray-clad demons arrived. This time, Bragi and Jasvi were smarter and didn't chase after them at all. They stayed on the main street and let One Leaf and the others strip the armor off the players. They prioritized killing players on the main street.

This battle resulted in the loss of fourteen people from each of the major factions, and the theft of fourteen sets of A6-level armor.

An hour later, Yi Ye Fu Yun and his group visited again.

It wasn't until dawn that the sun slowly rose.

Of the original 400-plus personnel stationed there, less than 100 remained. Blake and Jasvi decided to ask for help from above once again.

……

"What, another batch of reinforcements?" Tanya frowned slightly as she listened to her subordinate's report. "Didn't I just send a batch of reinforcements an hour ago?"

"Young lady, those used to be streets in the North District, now they're streets in the West District of Bragi. And it's not just these two streets; our people scattered across the other four streets are also asking for reinforcements," the man from the Ninth Street Gang said nervously.

"What's going on?" Tanya asked in astonishment. "How many forces are attacking the city right now?"

The fact that all six outposts needed support at once made her wonder if her subordinates were out of their minds because they hadn't slept all night.

It's worth noting that the various forces stationed in the six regions number over 1,500 experts. If even these need reinforcements, it's unimaginable how many people are attacking the city.

"According to our information, only one force is attacking," the man from the Ninth Street Gang said, wiping his sweat.

"A faction?" Tanya was also surprised. "What faction? Didn't we form an alliance with this faction during their private discussions?"

She couldn't even imagine how powerful a force could be, one that could simultaneously attack six major strongholds and force each stronghold to request reinforcements.

It's unbelievable that such a powerful force hadn't previously joined forces with any of them.

"We don't know the specific name of that force," the man from the Ninth Street Gang said cautiously. "We only know that many people in the outlaw gangs call those people the Gray Demons."
