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

Chapter 95 The Making of a Top Student 1.0

"Shuangyan, what brings you here?"

In the lobby on the first floor, Luo Qi, with a furrowed brow, looked at the two human female high school students who had entered the room with great surprise.

"Sister Qi, you've opened your own shop now, so I asked Shuangyan to bring me over to take a look. Congratulations on becoming the shop manager, Sister Qi," Xiao Ling, with her bright and lively eyes, explained.

Luo Shuangyan, standing to the side, nodded helplessly.

Xiao Ling was her good friend in junior high school. However, after the high school entrance exam, they went to different high schools. Due to her family's financial situation, she didn't have enough money to learn martial arts, so she could only choose an ordinary high school. That ordinary high school would provide a decent monthly subsidy for martial arts classes, which was enough to allow her to study in the martial arts class.

Xiao Ling's parents were key employees of a large company in the suburbs, and her family had some money. With her high middle school entrance exam scores, she entered a key high school in the city, which was also the only key high school with all martial arts subjects.

Zhuguang High School!

After they both entered high school, they would often meet up to practice and improve each other's grades. Today was no exception. However, when she mentioned that her older sister Luo Qi had opened her own shop, Xiao Ling couldn't help but pull her over.

"Alright, feel free to look around." Luo Qi welcomed him and said, "Besides learning martial arts as an apprentice, our shop also sells some good blood essence rice, which is 10 bits cheaper per kilogram than the market price. In a while, our shop will also receive some equipment, and we will sell some weapons and equipment. We also support private customization, and the quality is guaranteed to be among the top ten in the suburbs."

"Can I still order equipment from you, Sister Qi, in the future?" Xiao Ling's eyes lit up, and she nodded. "I'll definitely come then. I know the quality of the equipment you make, Sister Qi. It's absolutely top-notch in the suburbs. I was worried before because the school teachers asked us to prepare a set of A6-level protective gear for the practical training next month. I don't really like standard protective gear. Now that I have you, Sister Qi, I feel relieved."

Xiao Ling's words made Luo Shuangyan, who was standing to the side, feel envious.

A6 level protective gear is something that ordinary high schools wouldn't even dare to dream of. They'd be lucky to have their own set of A4 level standard protective gear; most would borrow from the school.

At Zhuguang High School, students are required to prepare their own A6-level protective gear; the two high schools are completely different worlds.

"No problem, your sister Qi guarantees to make you a set of the most comfortable A6-level protective gear," Luo Qi said confidently.

Having previously forged numerous B2-grade standard weapons for the Obsidian Martial Arts School, her crafting skills had improved considerably, and she was now quite confident that she could take the advanced mechanic qualification exam.

With Luo Qi's assurance, Xiao Ling and Luo Shuangyan began their tour.

"This price! Sis, are you crazy?" Luo Shuangyan stared wide-eyed at the price of lessons at the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy.

There are many people teaching apprentice-level martial arts in the suburbs, and the prices are very transparent. 1000 bits per hour is a price that very few people can offer in the suburbs. But Obsidian Martial Arts Academy is different. They have no reputation for teaching martial arts and they charge at least 2000 bits per hour right away.

This is less like opening a martial arts school and more like blatant robbery.

"Well... I can't do anything about it, it's the boss's rule," Luo Qi said helplessly.

"The price is indeed a bit expensive." Xiao Ling looked at Luo Qi's helpless expression, gritted her teeth, and said, "Sister Qi, can I sign up for one lesson?"

"Xiaoling, you don't need to. Sister Qi knows your feelings, that's enough. This price is indeed a bit too expensive," Luo Qi advised.

Luo Qi knew very well that Xiao Ling had opened a shop and become a shop owner to support her, but she had no intention of taking advantage of Xiao Ling. With that money, she would rather find an experienced aspiring martial artist to teach her.

"Sister Qi, I also want to learn a boxing style. This Shattering Stone Fist is one of the basic boxing styles in the high school martial arts class. Even if I don't learn it today, I will have to pay a teacher at school to teach me later. The price is about the same. As for the martial arts instructors at our school, I'm not saying I'd have to wait in line for who knows how long. If I had that time to find someone else to teach me, I might have already learned it by now," Xiao Ling explained.

Xiao Ling did intend to learn the Crushing Stone Fist. After all, high school martial arts students must master at least one fist and foot martial art. Now that the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy has the Crushing Stone Fist to teach, it saves some trouble. After all, the martial arts instructors at Zhuguang High School are really busy people.

It's not just students at Zhuguang High School who want tutoring; children from many large families in the city also seek out these tutors, and they're simply too busy to handle it all.

For a student like her, who has no power or influence at Zhuguang High School, she might not even be able to get a spot in line by the time she graduates from the first year of high school.

Rather than letting those school professors benefit, it's better to let Sister Qi benefit today.

"Alright, I'll go with you." Luo Qi looked at Xiao Ling, such a good child, but was still a little worried. She decided to go to the Obsidian Martial Arts School with her. "If the teaching isn't good enough, I'll cover the expenses for you."

"Sister Qi, really, there's no need." Seeing how worried Luo Qi was about the Obsidian Martial Arts School, Xiao Ling didn't know whether she should sympathize with the owner of the Obsidian Shop.

Obsidian Martial Arts School.

After less than an hour's journey, Luo Qi personally led Xiao Ling to the training ground of the Obsidian Martial Arts School.

At this moment, in the training ground of Obsidian Martial Arts Academy, a large number of players were practicing breathing techniques. A robot more than two meters tall was professionally instructing each player. Meanwhile, in the training ground on the other side, many players were practicing the Crushing Stone Fist and the Leopard Shadow Step. They were all doing it very well, just like a real martial arts academy.

"Sister Qi, this martial arts school is pretty good. It's not as bad as you said." Xiao Ling looked at the magnificent Obsidian Martial Arts School in front of her and exclaimed in amazement, "The decoration of this martial arts school is even better than many martial arts schools in the suburbs."

Luo Qi didn't say anything. As for the external environment of Obsidian Martial Arts School, it was indeed not very good, but in terms of the internal environment, it was much better than many martial arts schools in the suburbs.

"Are we having guests?" Lin Qi asked as he approached Luo Qi, who had brought the group.

The latest novel is first published here!

"Yes, this is my sister's classmate, and also a student at Zhuguang High School. She wants to try out the Stone-Shattering Fist at the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy today." Luo Qi pointed to Xiao Ling beside her and introduced, "Xiao Ling, this is Master Lin of the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy."

"Greetings, Master Lin," Xiao Ling said respectfully.

"Hello." Lin Qi looked at Xiao Ling, who was wearing the uniform of Zhuguang High School, and his eyes lit up. He felt that this was a big customer and he had to treat her well. Then he looked at the players in the training ground and said, "Those who are qualified to teach the Stone Shattering Fist, please step forward."

As soon as Lin Qi spoke, eight players stepped out from the training ground, each possessing the strength of a beginner apprentice.

"Xiao Ling, choose a mentor yourself." Lin Qi looked at Xiao Ling and introduced them, "They are all mentors selected by our Obsidian Martial Arts Academy, and their teaching level is definitely no worse than that of outsiders."

The fact that the eight players in front of me were able to advance to the level of junior apprentices in just four days, and even reach the proficiency level of the Stone Shattering Fist, proves that they are all very talented. They should also be quite good at teaching others.

"Should I choose?" Xiao Ling asked in surprise.

Let alone learning martial arts in the city, even in the suburbs, students never choose their instructors; they always wait until the instructors are available. But Obsidian Martial Arts Academy opened her eyes today, offering her eight instructors to choose from right away. She was completely overwhelmed.

"Yes, choose whoever you like." Lin Qi nodded.

Lin Qi's words made the eight players present feel that it was time to show themselves. If they were chosen by the NPC high school student in front of them, they would get at least two thousand points and one hundred contribution points.

In an instant, all eight people released their qi and blood, making Xiao Ling, who was also a beginner apprentice, feel a little heavy breathing, which made Xiao Ling realize that the eight people in front of her were indeed extraordinary.

"Then I'll choose this mentor sister." Xiao Ling looked around and pointed to Chen Ya, the most eye-catching one among the eight.
