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

Chapter 85 Martial Arts School Restoration

"A grudge?" Lin Qi looked at Qin Mu and shook his head. "No, this is the first time I've met him today."

He transmigrated here and has been living in the abandoned area ever since. He has no dealings with martial artists, let alone any forces related to them.

Qin Mu looked at the bewildered Lin Qi, feeling that there was no faking it, and then looked at the document in his hand, his face full of confusion: "Then what about this task of yours?"

"Is there a problem with this task?" Lin Qi looked at the task details on the document, full of questions.

As Qin Mu had previously stated, the task on the document was for the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy to transport ten truckloads of supplies to Maple Forest Town, more than 200 kilometers away, within a month. Among the many towns under the jurisdiction of the City of Light, more than 200 kilometers was not the farthest town; it was just an ordinary distance.

"The mission itself is not a problem. At least a few months ago, it would have been no problem at all," Qin Mu explained. "I have been to Maple Forest Town a few times before. It is indeed a very prosperous trading town. But recently, there have been some frictions between our City of Light and City of Star Tower. Now, many gangs from City of Star Tower are robbing people on the road."

"Normally, these kinds of missions should be assigned to the top ten wilderness gangs, especially since it's the first time the Obsidian Martial Arts School has entered the rankings. They should be assigned transport missions that don't involve fighting with external forces."

"A mission from the top ten gangs?" Lin Qi frowned slightly.

The Obsidian Martial Arts Academy has grown significantly in strength. In the past two days, both Yi Ye Fu Yun and Zhao Hu have been promoted to advanced apprentices, and there have been eight more intermediate apprentices.

Even though there are six advanced apprentices like Luo Wushang who can fight against quasi-martial artists, the gap between them and the top ten gangs in the wild is still enormous.

Previously, Lin Qi's knowledge of wilderness gangs came from Luo Qi, but after talking with Qin Mu, he realized that even among wilderness gangs, there was a qualitative difference between them.

Especially the top ten gangs, as far as Qin Mu knows, each of these gangs has at least twenty quasi-martial artists, more than fifty apprentices at the limit, and more than six hundred apprentices.

Compared to ordinary gangs in the suburbs, they are not much different. The only qualitative difference is the number of A6-level armors they possess.

A level A6 armor set costs several million bits. Gangs in the wild would have to work for ages to afford one, and even then, it would only be a second-hand set.

The gangs in the suburbs all have their own large companies, and their businesses are very large, with monthly profits far exceeding those of gangs in the wild.

It can be said that any ordinary gang in the suburbs has at least fifty sets of A6-level armor. Even if only a senior apprentice wears this A6-level armor, it can suppress a quasi-martial artist. If an extreme apprentice wears it, it can easily defeat an extreme quasi-martial artist.

Fifty sets of A6-level armor like these are simply unmatched by any wild guild.

Of course, Qin Mu learned this from the Martial Artists Association a few days ago. After all, Qin Mu has now passed the Martial Artists Association's assessment and is considered an external member of the association, so he knows much more information than ordinary wild gangs.

The current transport route to Maple Forest Town requires the combined strength of the top ten wilderness gangs, which is indeed not a task that Obsidian Martial Arts Academy can accomplish.

Moreover, even if players manage to complete the mission at great personal risk, the supply losses will likely be severe, and the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy, which accepts the mission, will have to pay for these losses. The Obsidian Martial Arts Academy doesn't have that much money to cover these losses right now.

"Brother Qin Mu, can't we change the mission?" Lin Qi couldn't help but ask Qin Mu.

"What do you think the association's mandatory tasks are? A free trade?" Qin Mu said speechlessly. "From the moment you took the documents, even if you accepted the task, there is no room for negotiation on this kind of mandatory task. Even that senior cannot change it. I don't know how you offended Deacon Feng Gelin, that he would assign this task to you. If the Obsidian Martial Arts School cannot complete it within a month, the association will revoke its authority, and it will be unable to enter the top 100 gangs in the future."

"I haven't offended Feng Lin, not even the Half-Scaled Clan," Lin Qi said after thinking for a moment. "If we've offended anyone, it's the White Feather Gang, but the White Feather Gang probably doesn't have that much influence. Let Feng Lin deal with our Obsidian Martial Arts School, shall we?"

"I don't know either." Qin Mu shook his head and looked at Lin Qi. "Right now, we just need to find a way to complete this task within a month. If we can complete it once, we can use the excuse that the new gang has adapted to the task to switch to another task. I'll ask that senior then, and maybe we can get it done. In the meantime, I'll see if I can persuade those old friends to go with you. I believe we should be able to complete this task."

"Thank you very much, Brother Qin Mu." Lin Qi was very grateful, understanding that Qin Mu was genuinely trying to help him.

If Qin Mu hadn't provided so much information, he would have paid an unimaginable price for this association mission.

"No need for thanks. Hiring those old guys isn't cheap; you'll have to pay for it yourselves," Qin Mu said with a smile. "Never mind, I'll go to the association to find out what's going on."

After saying that, Qin Mu left the Obsidian Martial Arts School.

"Deacon Fenglin?" Lin Qi gazed at the already departing flying car and said slowly, "I'll remember this grudge, and I'll pay you back in full one day!"

Martial artists are indeed powerful, but in Lin Qi's eyes, they are not unattainable beings.

He is now an extreme apprentice, with a strength of 877 kilograms and a speed of 25.7 meters per second. With the first level of the Crushing Stone Fist and the Leopard Shadow Step perfected, his true combat strength has reached the level of a near-ultimate martial artist.

However, the effect of the second level of the Fitness Breathing Method has been getting weaker and weaker recently. It is likely that you need to reach the second level of proficiency to reach 899 kg. As for breaking through to the level of a quasi-martial artist, players need to learn the third level of the Fitness Breathing Method.

But for him, who possesses the system, becoming a martial artist is not difficult, especially since the martial arts school has been fully repaired today, and he will also experience a major upgrade.

On the other side, in the flying car.

"Teacher Feng Gelin, you've entrusted the task of taking on the top ten wilderness gangs to the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy this time. Qin Mu, who knows the Association well, is right there and will definitely notice. The Obsidian Martial Arts Academy might hold a grudge against you then," a half-scaled youth, not yet twenty, said with some worry as he drove the flying car. "I heard that the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy has two genius apprentices. If they hold a grudge, wouldn't it be a case of losing more than you gain?"

The latest novel is first published here!

"So what if they know? Do they resent me? They don't even deserve it!" Feng Gelin's cold face was full of disdain. "They're just geniuses promoted by a bunch of ignorant ants. There are countless such geniuses in the suburbs and city of Chasing Light, but how many of them actually advance to the Martial Artist level?"

"Even if the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy has the ability to promote a genius apprentice to a martial artist, they are also martial artists, so they can't control me. I can't ask them for help, so what can they do to me?"

"Not to mention that I earned three energy crystals from the White Feather Gang this time. With my previous accumulation, my internal organs will be able to complete the final strengthening. At that time, my status in the association will no longer be limited to that of a deacon."

"Go back and inform the White Feather Gang to send over the remaining two energy crystals."

"yes!"

The young disciple, who was piloting the flying car, thought about it and agreed.

Once Teacher Feng Gelin takes another step forward and completes the transformation of his internal organs, his strength and status will undergo a qualitative change. Not to mention a small outdoor gang, even a large gang in the suburbs wouldn't have the right to hold a grudge.

In the abandoned area of ​​the City of Light, the sun is setting.

Lin Qi stared intently at the system's main quest bar, watching the progress bar for "Completely Repairing the Obsidian Martial Arts School" gradually rise.

99.6%...99.8%...100%...
