"Did I overdo it?"
Fang Zhen looked down at the shovel on the ground, initially bewildered, then filled with regret.
"My big mouth!"
With over two thousand squat experiences previously, he had already gotten a sense of it, never expecting the NPCs to be this intelligent, not playing by the rules, forcing him to start accumulating experience all over again.
However, Lin Qi didn’t even think about what Fang Zhen was considering, his eyes directly sweeping towards the nearby man and woman.
"Your nas and ages?"
"Twilight of the Gods, 19,000 years old this year."
"Wushang, 18 years old."
"Hmm, I like your honesty. Welco to the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall. I am your Hall Master, Lin Qi. According to the rules, if you wish to beco honorable disciples of the Martial Arts Hall, you must prove yourselves. Now you can go over there, pick a shovel you like, and head to the small warehouse to the right. You’re on a tir for two hours and twenty minutes to dig out a 10 cubic ter space five ters underground."
Lin Qi nodded and jotted down the two individuals’ information in his notebook.
As Lin Qi was recording, Fang Zhen, who was about to leave the room, suddenly stopped in his tracks, looking at Twilight of the Gods and Wushang with astonishnt, his mouth agape as if discovering a new continent.
"You can play like this?" Fang Zhen looked at Lin Qi, who was diligently taking notes, feeling his intelligence being challenged.
Both Twilight of the Gods and Wushang were evidently spouting nonsense in terms of age, yet the intelligent NPC not only believed them but even awarded them the chance to pick their favorite shovel to dig, greatly improving the efficiency of their excavation.
"Oh, I forgot to tell you sothing," Lin Qi said, pausing as he observed the three heading to the small warehouse. "As the first batch of disciples recruited by the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, you are also the inheritors to revive its glory. So the first to complete the proof will receive the Treasure of the Hall, the Shocking God Breathing Technique, to help you achieve higher accomplishnts in martial arts!"
As if he were kidding, making it seem like everyone wouldn’t fall for it!
As Lin Qi finished speaking, the originally serene corridor turned even more silent.
"Treasure of the Hall? Did we trigger so special event?" Fang Zhen’s breath quickened a bit upon hearing that.
The Treasure of the Hall!
Just hearing it sounded complicated, and obtaining it would surely make him stand out when Descent of High Martial arrives.
"Based on my years of gaming experience, I think we triggered a special event," Twilight of the Gods adjusted his non-existent glasses, calmly analyzing. "But our chances of completing it are very slim."
"What do you an by ’very slim chance of completing it’?" Wushang arched an eyebrow nearby, asking, "Isn’t it just the three of us competing?"
"This is where you’re wrong. The reason I say it’s impossible is entirely because this ga is too realistic. Since entering the ga, I’ve been observing it, from the feeling of the body to the dust visibly clear on the ground, there are no flaws or bugs to find. If it weren’t for you two being here, I’d almost suspect having crossed into another world." Twilight of the Gods explained without holding back, "With our physical capabilities being ordinary, let alone two hours and twenty minutes, even with five or six hours, it’s impossible to dig out a 10 cubic ter space underground."
"Does that an we have no chance of getting the Shocking God Breathing Technique?" Wushang comnted regretfully.
"No! We have a chance!" Twilight of the Gods said confidently.
"What chance?" Fang Zhen perked up his ears.
Two hours and twenty minutes to dig a 10 cubic ter space underground clearly seed unreliable unless doubling the ti was possible, or physical abilities dramatically increased.
But neither the first nor the second seed possible, especially the second, since there’s not even a thod yet known to enhance physical fitness. The only way is to complete the task first, making it an unsolvable problem.
"We team up!" Twilight of the Gods glanced at Lin Qi behind them with a smirk. "This NPC is really dumb, only following a set program. He even believed when I said I was 19,000 years old, with no doubt or questions, which proves my point."
"Team up? How to team up?" Fang Zhen curiously asked. "But the NPC did say each of us should dig out a 10 cubic ter space."
Twilight of the Gods shook his finger after hearing this and pushed up his non-existent glasses again. "It said each of us to dig out a 10 cubic ter space, but how do you define ’each’? I just ntioned that this ga is very realistic. If we three join forces, digging together in one place?"
"With the combined efficiency of us three, digging a 10 cubic ter space in two hours and twenty minutes is definitely achievable. As for obtaining the Shocking God Breathing Technique, that’s even simpler. I’ve already ntioned that this ga is realistic. No matter who acquires it, once mastered, it can be taught to others, so we can all learn the Shocking God Breathing Technique."
"Whoa! In my life, I’ve never bowed to anyone, bro, you’re the first!" Fang Zhen was imnsely impressed, his eyes opened to a new world, not expecting a 100% virtual ga to be playable in such a manner.
"Alright! Let’s team up!" Wushang nodded in agreent, giving Twilight of the Gods another look. "By the way, let’s introduce ourselves, I’m from the martial arts ga ’Pilgrimage,’ Vice President of the Celestial Might Guild, Wushang. If you’re interested in the guild, you can join us at Celestial Might. I guarantee at least core mber treatnt for you."
"Celestial Might Guild from Pilgrimage?" Fang Zhen was also stunned at Wushang’s self-introduction, looking at her in disbelief.
In this era of prevailing virtual gas, the martial arts epic Pilgrimage, is a masterpiece with daily global online users reaching up to a billion. Even a second or third-rate guild in Pilgrimage boasts a market value exceeding 10 billion with over fifty thousand mbers.
As for the top guilds, they have market values over a hundred billion with mber counts exceeding a million, comparable to so world-class companies, and Celestial Might is one of the five giants in Pilgrimage.
The core mber treatnt of Celestial Might can rival the top professional players of cha Continent.
"So it’s Sister Wu, a pleasure to et you. If I ever think about joining a guild, Celestial Might would be my first choice," Twilight of the Gods was surprised as he looked at Wushang, simultaneously getting a new assessnt of the ga Descent of High Martial.
Pilgrimage, being a dominating force in the virtual gaming world, and not focusing on running the guild but coming to a newly launched ga like Descent of High Martial, even recruiting in it, clearly signified Celestial Might’s high expectations for the future of Descent of High Martial.
As Fang Zhen, Twilight of the Gods, and Wushang conversed, viewers in the live stream were also left in awe.
"Combination Card BUG! They’re all set to pluck the NPC as greenhorns!"
"Gods’ Brother! Please accept my kneecaps."
"Aweso! Never would I’ve thought gas could be played this way until now!"
"Quick! Who can let in, I want in on plucking this NPC too."
Amid the crowd’s frenzied admiration and discussion, Fang Zhen, Twilight of the Gods, and Wushang made their way to the small warehouse. Together, they dug vigorously, filling their task with joy and energy.
