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

Chapter 150 Super-Level Secret Technique

System: This optimization incorporates too many forging methods, and the host's permissions are insufficient to fully integrate and optimize it. Please elevate your system permissions.

System: The host's current privileges are at level two. All training methods will be categorized and optimized. Please wait patiently.

"What's going on?"

"I hope there won't be any problems with this fusion of training methods."

Lin Qi was momentarily stunned by the system's suggestion.

Unexpectedly, the system encountered a permission shortage problem due to the excessive number of forging methods being combined. Furthermore, the system failed to provide any explanation for the purpose of categorizing and optimizing the methods.

Instead, a huge progress bar appeared, almost filling the entire bottom of the field of view.

The progress bar remained at 0%.

After more than a minute, Lin Qi watched as the system fusion progressed by 1%, still 99% away from 100%, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

At least there's progress, so we're not stuck on the fusion process. And the fusion speed isn't slow, increasing by 1% every minute or so. So in about four hours, we should be able to complete all the fusion.

"It seems that I'll have to acquire more forging methods one by one in the future." Lin Qi looked at the progress bar, which had increased by another 1%, and decided that he couldn't fuse all the forging methods he acquired at once in the future, otherwise it would be too terrifying.

The fusion process now only takes about four hours. If one day the forging method were to fuse and take a year, he would be devastated.

His learning depends entirely on the players. If his training method is stuck, his strength will also be stuck. Just like now, although he has become a martial artist, because the players have not learned the second level of the Shocking Breathing Technique, which is the training method for the martial artist stage, he can only stay at the first level of the Shocking Breathing Technique.

Although he could learn the second level of the Shocking Breathing Technique on his own, without proper guidance, various problems can easily arise when learning training methods, and the more advanced the training method, the greater the risk of learning it.

Therefore, in the world of high martial arts, unless someone provides detailed guidance or has a large supply of healing potions, no one dares to casually learn forging techniques.

The method of training can be seen as a challenge to advance one's life.

It's like a two-dimensional being becoming a three-dimensional being, or a three-dimensional being becoming a four-dimensional being. Every step they take is fraught with danger. It's not as easy as in novels, where it's just a matter of knowing how or not knowing how. Even if they can't master it, it's okay; they can just switch to another book.

But the reality is that once you start training, you could suffer serious injury or even death if you don't train properly. There's no such thing as being fine if you stop training halfway through. It's like a chemical reaction. All the elements are poured in, and it's not like you can stop the reaction just by stopping.

The martial artist level training method is much more dangerous than the apprentice level because it requires the use of energy ores. Without the second-level healing potion that can heal a martial artist, he could easily kill himself and have nowhere to cry foul.

The only option is to use players who can be resurrected to slowly explore the area.

After Lin Qi confirmed that there were no problems with the fusion of the forging method, he summoned all the players to return to Crimson Moon Mountain and safely send the two important A6-level battle armors back.

At the same time, it was announced that this limited-time event has ended. The contribution rankings will be announced in the announcement section later. Players can check them themselves or directly through their smartwatches.

After Lin Qi announced the end of the event, the players present were reluctant to give up. Among them were some players who wanted to enter the Azure Sky again to earn more money. However, since Lin Qi, the NPC with the highest authority, had said so, they could only give up and prepare to get on the bus to return to Crimson Moon Mountain.

Lin Qi felt that the points and contributions from the gold-level treasure chest were of great value. Not only did he obtain eight high-level martial artist-level secret techniques, but he also obtained four mid-level martial artist-level secret techniques. These forging methods were the closely guarded secrets of major forces in the city and the foundation of a major force, so their value was self-evident.

Not to mention that a gold-level treasure chest is a huge fortune in itself; exchanging it for a B5-level armor set wouldn't be a problem.

Therefore, Lin Qi did not intend to show favoritism; all gold-level treasure chests would be awarded 50 million points and 100,000 contribution points.

The contribution reward given by Lin Qi stunned everyone. They didn't expect the contribution reward for the gold-level treasure chest to be so much, and felt it was too unfair.

However, Ragnarok Online stated that such a high contribution is normal. After all, the location of the gold-level treasure chest is guarded by three lord-level monsters. If it weren't for the NPCs snatching it, players at this stage would have no chance to obtain such a treasure chest.

"One hundred thousand contribution points?" Lin Xinyao was overjoyed at first, but then regretful. "Currently, those teams have generally obtained more than 150 sets of A6-level armor. The minimum contribution points are all concentrated on one person, which is more than 250,000. It would be better if the contribution points from the gold-level treasure chest were higher."

They only received two gold-level treasure chests from Mythical Paradise, and all their contributions went to one person, which amounted to 200,000 contributions. It's going to be very difficult for them to get a spot in the advance server.

"No! This competition has only just begun." Lu Fanchen shook his head and whispered, "The players who aren't currently with those teams probably have a lot of items that haven't been registered yet. Although these people only make up about 20% of the total, they should have obtained quite a few good items. They also know that they have no hope of getting a spot. We can win them over. As long as we can get their contributions, we might have a chance to win a spot. Even if other teams manage to win over these people, it will be difficult for them to get a second spot. Our chances are very high."

"Okay, I'll go and discuss it with them right away." Lin Xinyao's eyes lit up, thinking that this method was indeed feasible.

Nowadays, players want to obtain those five spots not only by gaining more points and contributions through wilderness exploration, but also to prepare for the large influx of players exploring new areas later.

For example, detailed map information collected in the wild, where there are treasures, where the strongholds of hostile forces are, and the activity locations of many wild monsters, etc.

They, Mythic Paradise, could use these resources to negotiate with free players. If these free players wanted to avoid falling behind from the start, then cooperating with Mythic Paradise would be the best option.

Immediately, Lu Fanchen and the other two boarded a transport vehicle and privately contacted the free players, intending to finalize all cooperation agreements with them before Lin Qi conducted the final settlement.

Meanwhile, the members of the various teams were discussing in the car how to maximize their points and contributions, and they were all extremely excited.

The points and contributions earned from this event far exceeded everyone's expectations.

In a previous story-driven war, a team was lucky to earn over 100 million points, and their contribution was pitifully small. Moreover, due to the team members' need for weapons and equipment, many B2-level arrows and A6-level weapons and armor were not sold to the unscrupulous guild master.

Therefore, it would be good if each person could actually get two or three hundred thousand points.

To advance to the rank of martial artist, players first need to purchase the second level of the Divine Breathing Technique for 200,000 points, plus the cost of building their own houses, which is more than enough to make ends meet.

But this event made everyone rich. Each team had at least 500 million points, and each person had around 20 million points. Forget about learning training methods, they could even exchange their own houses for villas.

Furthermore, with so many points, you can also buy shops in Crimson Moon Mountain and wait to get rich, living a carefree life on Blue Star.

Although these players all had pretty good ideas, Lin Qi had no intention of letting them just give up.

Even when Lin Qi was preparing to launch this event, he had already figured out how to harvest the points and contributions from the players, which is why Lin Qi dared to be so generous.

More points?

Contributed a lot?

Want to lie down?

That's not true. When he gets back, he'll release an update, reorganize the currency system, and introduce higher statuses, such as core disciples above elite disciples, as well as more land purchase privileges and increased house height privileges. Want a three- or four-story private villa?

And do you think you don't have to pay taxes just because you bought a private house?

Property tax is a must every month!

Most importantly, there's the right to exchange the repaired A6-level armor. He acquired so many damaged A6-level armors, he can't be the only one to bear the repair costs, can he?

Just as Lin Qi returned to Crimson Moon Mountain, preparing to thoroughly examine the other two items in the Rem Titanium Storage Box in the newly built three-story office building, a system notification sounded in his ear.

System: Congratulations, host, the classification optimization is complete.

System: Based on the classification and optimization of the twelve incomplete forging methods, a total of three secret techniques for super-level Bone Forging Realm martial artists have been optimized. Do you want to receive them now?
