Summoning Players into My Game-Chapter 530 - 307: Four-Star Reward (Long - )
"Are you talking about those martial arts exchanged with points in the Martial Arts Hall?" Xing Kuang looked surprised.
Because of the highly realistic virtual engine of Descent of High Martial, he always thought that those martial arts in the Martial Arts Hall were just flashy techniques or the combat skills taught in reality, and learning them was just a waste of points.
The members of their corps had long mastered a large number of fighting skills in reality and were accustomed to fighting planet monsters, making it completely unnecessary to learn those.
"Yes, it’s cheap to exchange for the Shattering Stone Fist and Leopard Shadow Step. Just a day’s work mining, and you can get them all. If you join the Defense Corps, they provide them for free," Han Xiong nodded and said wistfully. "Unfortunately, our team’s strength and talent aren’t good enough, and no Defense Corps wants us. We can only rent weapons, hunt monsters outside, and do missions to slowly accumulate contributions to exchange for the Thunder Light Palm."
"With your talent, you still can’t get into those Defense Corps?" Xing Kuang looked at Han Xiong and his group with surprise.
From the recent battle, he was pretty sure about Han Xiong and his group’s high talent, especially their rapid response in combat, even being able to accurately predict the Crocodile-toothed Rhinoceros’s attacks and respond well. Such talent is one in a million in a corps, hard to imagine game-based Defense Corps refusing them.
If it were his corps, they would be warmly welcomed.
"Now, to join those Defense Corps, although each has different requirements, they all demand the Fixed Star Explosion Visualization Technique to reach over 40% proficiency, or else they don’t accept anyone. Although we’ve played Descent of High Martial for a while, the Fixed Star Explosion Visualization Technique is not only costly but very difficult to improve. Right now, we’ve only just reached over 30% proficiency, still quite a bit short of joining," Han Xiong explained, looking at Xing Kuang as if he knew nothing.
"My brother, you seem to be a newcomer. If a newcomer wants to grow fast, the quickest way is to go mining. About a day is enough to exchange for the Basic Martial Techniques and Fixed Star Explosion Visualization Technique. After a few days of cultivation, when your level and martial arts are about right, you can rent some B Level alloy weapons to hunt monsters, then you might be able to take down those Initial Tier monsters. But unlike the early days of the game, Initial Tier monsters are now hard to find, and many are Middle Tier or higher monsters. One careless mistake, and you’ll lose everything, having to mine to pay off debts." 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢
Han Xiong’s face showed some bitterness at this point.
Their six-person team comprised university students who were fighting enthusiasts, and it was hard for them to be selected to enter the game. Now, not only had they not earned a cent, but they also didn’t know how much they spent to enhance their strength.
Unfortunately, during hunts in the wild, with bad luck, they often encountered Middle Tier or higher group monsters and were wiped out several times, losing several rented B Level weapons. If they hadn’t dealt with that Crocodile-toothed Rhinoceros today, they’d have no choice but to sell themselves to mine. It’s fair to say this game isn’t generally easy to play.
"Is the first step still having to mine in town?" Xing Kuang couldn’t help but feel a headache.
After realizing the power of the martial arts in the Martial Arts Hall, he was eager to learn 24 hours a day, but without points, he couldn’t exchange for them. However, if he went mining, it would waste a lot of time.
Of course, he could apply for funding from the young master to buy points from the game, but while it might be alright for him alone, managing for an entire corps would cost a terrifying amount. Even if the young master was willing, the top levels of the consortium wouldn’t agree.
"You don’t necessarily have to mine in town." Han Xiong shook his head, speaking with envy, "Some people with good luck stumbled upon metal veins while exploring the wild. Those with extremely good luck even find abandoned energy ore veins. Although the energy ores left in those veins are few and mining them is hard, exchanging mined ores for weapons earns far more than mining energy ores for the Martial Arts Hall."
"I’ve heard of a few people getting rich quietly like that, now owning their private residences in Red Moon Town, occasionally going to the first floor of the Cultivation Tower for training. They live like gods."
As Han Xiong spoke, the other five companions, who were preparing to move the Crocodile-toothed Rhinoceros, also showed expressions of envy.
In Descent of High Martial, to live a good life requires either extraordinary talent or extraordinary luck. Otherwise, you are busy every day earning points and contributions, leaving little time to cultivate.
"Are there ore veins that can be mined in the wild too?" Xing Kuang’s eyes brightened at this.
The Starry Sky Mecha Corps, upon reaching that star, had plenty of terrain survey missions besides fighting monsters, so they had quite a few terrain survey experts in their corps.
If Descent of High Martial’s simulation is as realistic as real life, their corps could make a fortune by mining in the wild.
"Young brother, why don’t you join our team?" Xing Kuang looked at Han Xiong and said earnestly, "Although our team just entered the game today, we have a large number of people, and we’re not much smaller than those Defense Corps. If you guys join us, I can provide you a salary, with a base of fifty thousand a month, plus action dividends. How about that?"
"Fifty thousand a month? Plus dividends? Can we? Our level is only Advanced Apprentice." Han Xiong was full of surprise upon hearing this.
Nowadays, because of the surge in players in Descent of High Martial, various activities have become more frequent, allowing more points to be earned, and the overall price of points has dropped but is still roughly three points per credit, similar to many popular games.
