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

Chapter 40 Mentor Number One Goes Online

Obsidian Martial Arts School, early morning, the sun rising.

As players emerged from the cave one by one, preparing to report to Lin Qi and tally the martial arts hall points for the night, they suddenly discovered that Lin Qi was surprisingly not sleeping in the rest room.

Instead, he stayed in a newly renovated practice room, fiddling with something.

"Master, what are you planning to do with this mechanical doll now?"

Ragnarok walked up to him with a mixture of curiosity and anticipation, hoping to trigger some new plot developments and obtain new quests from the NPC Lin Qi.

The mechanical doll in front of me was not large, only about 1.8 meters tall, and looked like a wooden stake. Wires were connected to the generator in the lounge, and I had no idea what its purpose was.

But since it was Lin Qi, this NPC, who caused it, something new must have happened.

After fiddling with the mechanical puppet for a few moments, Lin Qi turned around and looked at the crowd that had gathered around him, pointing to the notice board on the training field.

"Starting today, in order to consider the future development of the martial arts school, in addition to opening up some disciple training functions, there are also some new regulations within the martial arts school. At the same time, the martial arts school contribution system will be activated. If you don't understand anything, you can go there to check it out."

For these overly autonomous players, Lin Qi could only resort to the killer feature of major games: the contribution system.

Otherwise, he doesn't know when his martial arts school will be repaired.

Notice 1: New rules for the martial arts school: No fighting is allowed within the school, and no damage to any buildings within the school is permitted. Any violation will result in the following penalties: first offense - warning and 200 points deducted; second offense - solitary confinement and 2000 points deducted; third offense - expulsion from the school.

Notice 2: Martial Arts School Contribution Points will be activated. Contribution Points are different from Martial Arts School Points; they are a special currency that can only be obtained by completing specific tasks.

Notice 3: The skill level test will be launched. Go to Mentor 1 and consume contribution points to receive one guidance test.

Mentor No. 1 is a powerful weapon for current players.

Lin Qi was initially quite troubled about how to deal with these belligerent individuals. They would attack the martial arts school whenever they had nothing to do, and the damage they caused was far more than what they could repair. Yet, these players showed little enthusiasm for repairing the martial arts school.

This mechanical doll is now a perfect solution.

Don't these players enjoy practicing skills they've learned from other virtual games?

The current mechanical puppets can accurately analyze the player's skill level and skill level through the player's practice, and then compare it with big data from a hundred years ago to obtain an accurate score.

It's like a martial arts instructor who can give students precise scores on their exams, even if the exams are created by the players themselves.

This way, players can have a general direction when using their self-created martial arts skills. Although it is not very accurate due to data limitations, it is enough for current players.

The crowd gathered at the notice board, upon seeing the martial arts school's latest announcement, erupted in excitement.

"Great! After so many days, I finally have a chance to test my skills."

"But what does 'skill level' mean when Mentor Number One mentions it?"

"It probably refers to our combat level. After all, physical fitness is physical fitness and combat is combat. It's just that this kind of guidance is very expensive, costing ten contribution points per session, while the reward for completing the task of repairing a wall is only one contribution point."

"It's good enough that you contribute to the repair mission; didn't you see that the underground exploration mission doesn't even give you any contribution reward?"

The group discussed the new features the game had introduced, and some complained about the scarcity of contribution points. Now, in order to earn contribution points, they had no choice but to undertake the task of repairing the martial arts school.

"Sister Wu, do you think the fact that the headmaster suddenly issued new rules and started the martial arts school contribution points means that a new storyline is about to begin?" Ragnarok looked at Instructor Number One in the battle room and said excitedly.

"New plot?" Luo Wushang couldn't help but carefully read through the new announcement, and couldn't help but have some thoughts. "What do you think?"

Repairing the martial arts school was originally a main quest in the game, so it's rather strange that suddenly adding martial arts school contribution points, and only the quest of repairing the martial arts school gives contribution points as a reward, is indeed a bit strange.

"Sister Wu, didn't we have a conflict with the White Feather Gang a while ago?" Ragnarok smiled and said in a low voice, "Now that the headmaster has suddenly brought out Instructor Number One, it's clearly prepared to test our combat strength. Do you think our martial arts school should prepare for war with the White Feather Gang? Otherwise, what's the point of testing our combat strength?"

"Indeed, we have no monsters to fight right now, so testing our combat strength at this time is probably the game testing the main battles to come." Fang Zhen nodded in agreement. "After all, this game is still in the testing phase. The opponents can't be set too strong, or we'll all be done for, and they can't be set too weak, or there won't be any challenge."

"So we'll use Mentor No. 1 to test our current combat capabilities before arranging our opponents."

"That's quite possible. The game development companies I've visited before always have a group of top gamers test their games." Zhang Qingwei thought for a moment, then looked at Lin Qi, who was still making final adjustments, and said with some anticipation, "It's normal for the game company to use us for testing now. After all, the previous battles weren't challenging enough. I guess the game company saw that, so they specially created Mentor No. 1 to give us some challenges later."

"Holy crap! Are you guys monsters? How could you analyze this?" Yi Ye Fu Yun was shocked as he listened to their conversation.

Originally, I thought it was just a minor update, but I never expected that this game company had so many tricks up its sleeve.

Fortunately, they also have many talented people on their side.

The latest novel is first published here!

By cleverly discerning some small details, they managed to glean insights into the game's future development.

"In that case, let's make some more preparations," Fang Zhen said with some anticipation. "The last mission was quite fruitful, and I estimate that the rewards for the next main storyline battle mission won't be low either. If we perform well enough, we might even have the weapons we need later."

"Main storyline combat mission?" Upon hearing this, the Border Gunner clenched his fists involuntarily. "I didn't have a chance to see it for myself last time, this time I'm definitely going to have a good fight!"

Lin Qi didn't hear a word of what these players were saying. Even if he had, he would have just thought they were crazy for wanting to fight.

He's not a demon; he simply wants the players to repair the martial arts school. He doesn't have any other intentions or thoughts.

……

Obsidian Martial Arts School, Battle Room.

"Finally, it's fixed!"

After nearly three hours, Lin Qi finally completed all the adjustments for Mentor No. 1.

"Who wants to try it first?"

Lin Qi looked at the players who had each repaired dozens of walls and asked with great satisfaction.

"Then I'll go first."

Luo Wushang stepped out of the crowd and was the first to stand up.
