The Fourth Calamity: My Sect Has Countless Prodigies

Chapter 44 The Officials Are Playing a Grand Game

With the excellent teamwork of Qianlong and his group, coupled with the cautious command of Wohu, they successfully helped the remaining 12 players break through to the early stage of Qi Refining in just one day.

The process was thrilling but ultimately safe, and the result was quite impressive.

"Holy crap! Brothers, I've really broken through to the early stage of Qi Refining!"

With a message from "Running Rat", the entire forum began to boil over again.

Loves cilantro: "Since joining the forum, what I look forward to most every day is waking up in the morning and listening to the veterans who have just logged off share their daily lives."

Spicy Rabbit Head: "I was just pulled into this game. I heard you can cultivate immortality in this game. Is that true?"

Pickled Chicken Feet: "Genuine product, I just broke through to the Qi Refining stage."

When galaxies shine brightly: "Bro, the three of you together smell amazing..."

Instantly activates Sage Mode: "+1".

The young players chatted for a while before getting to the main topic.

A fan of cilantro asked: "Hey guys, what kind of content has been included in the recent game updates?"

Hidden Dragon in the Abyss: "The content... seems quite extensive, isn't it? It's really hard to explain in a short time."

I'm Not a Sword Immortal: "Holy crap, I'm rich! This time, I'm truly rich!!"

The old Taoist priest by the river said, "No, you're just a little brat with barely any hair on your head, and you dare call yourself a Taoist master?"

Yi Tian: "Old Taoist Linjiang has made inappropriate remarks and will be banned from the forum for three days. Please communicate amicably and play the game civilly. Thank you for your cooperation."

Running Knife Rat: "Hahaha, Daoist Master has finally been banned!"

Instantly activating his immortal mode: "Well done, Yi Tian! Anyone who dares to offend me to my face, no matter how far away, will be punished!"

Zhou Yi's lips twitched slightly as he looked at the message that the Immortal of Instant Opening had just sent.

Why do these two sentences sound so familiar, yet they sound so strange when put together?

This immortal being who instantly opens up is truly a naturally formed, abstract divine body...

After expressing his thoughts, Zhou Yi returned to the forum to peek at the chat, hoping to see what other good suggestions the players had.

Crouching Tiger Hidden in the Forest: "By the way, Sword Immortal, where did you and Great Sword go? I haven't seen either of you all day."

I'm Not a Sword Immortal: "It's like this, the sect leader asked me and Great Sword to go to the Jiang family, the friendly force we were previously dealing with."

"We just arrived before logging off today and even had a welcome feast. The spiritual wine and food were truly delicacies!"

"Of course, the most important thing is that there are even maids to serve you after the meal...tsk tsk tsk."

Instantly activating "Immortal Mode": "We were working so hard fighting monsters, and you got to enjoy yourself."

When the stars of humanity shone brightly: "Sword Immortal, back then... it was me who helped you fight monsters and level up."

I'm Not a Sword Immortal: "Ahem, I seem to have gone a bit off-topic. Let's have the Crouching Tiger expert analyze the specifics of the game."

Faced with pressure, the sword immortal sent out a message and decisively chose to change the subject.

Crouching Tiger Hidden in the Forest: "No problem, but I'd like to hear if any other players have unlocked any other hidden storylines."

A few casual words: "Me! Me! Boss Crouching Tiger, I've been watching that Crimson Flame Monkey refine pills these past few days, and I just tried refining one myself for the first time yesterday."

Running Knife Rat: "So, did you successfully refine it, boss?"

A few casual words: "Ahem, one shouldn't be too concerned about immediate gains and losses. After the refining was finished, my face was just a little darker."

Green Hills Remains: "And there's my Crouching Tiger boss. I just received a mission from Talisman Master Bai Ling these past two days, asking me to find some materials for her."

"After completing the task, I kept pestering her to let me learn how to make talismans, and she actually agreed in the end. I guess I've unlocked the hidden quest too?"

I'm Not a Sword Immortal: "Dude, do you think it's possible that this NPC is just annoyed by you?"

The green hills remain: "..."

Sword Immortal's joke lightened the atmosphere of the entire forum considerably.

After all, how could NPCs possibly be bothered?

Only Zhou Yi knew that Bai Ling's actions were probably a sign that she had truly run out of options.

A few taels of silver: "By the way, Brother Crouching Tiger, I've also recently received a hidden quest."

"The sect leader ordered me to go to Lianyun Market to investigate hostile forces and even to secretly sabotage their businesses and create trouble for them."

Crouching Tiger in the Forest: "No problem, brothers, I think I really understand now."

"This official update seems to be part of a larger strategic plan."

As soon as Wohu said this, the entire forum fell silent.

Even Zhou Yi, watching from outside the screen, was stunned for a moment, wondering what this player would say next.

Crouching Tiger Hidden in the Forest: "First of all, in this update, the official team opened three maps at once: the Spirit Beast Garden, Lianyun Market, and Jiang Family Territory."

"On the surface, these updates seem to have significantly expanded the game's content and increased its replayability. But have you considered the game's background carefully? Could there be other reasons behind these updates?"

A fan of cilantro: "Boss, Hurry up and tell me! I'm really in a hurry."

Crouching Tiger Hidden in the Forest: "Theoretically speaking, all 30 of us players have now passed the newbie protection period. With the addition of hostile, neutral, and friendly factions like the Jiang family, I think the game's difficulty level may increase in the future."

"The game's original setting is a cruel, dark, and perilous cultivation world. If it's just about fighting monsters and farming, it would clearly deviate from the official's original intention."

"Therefore, our conflicts and struggles with other forces may increase in the future."

"Judging from the situation with the broken silver and the two swordsman players, it probably won't be long before all of us players gradually begin to explore this world of cultivation, and perhaps even..."

"Compete with others and seize resources!"

"After all, the path of immortality is ruthless, and the strong are respected."

"As for secondary professions, considering all the current circumstances, they may be launched soon. Let's wait and see."

After hearing what he said, even Zhou Yi couldn't help but secretly give Wo Hu a thumbs up.

He was initially worried about how to find an excuse to explain his reasons for making this arrangement.

Before I could even come up with a solution, I was already swayed by these few words from Wohu.

"I knew I wasn't wrong about him. This player, Wohu, is truly a talent."

Zhou Yi was secretly delighted, quite satisfied that he had managed to recruit such an excellent young player.

He then opened the forum and sent a message in response to Wohu's reply.

Yi Tian: "The answer from the Crouching Tiger player is good. After a period of closed beta testing, there are relatively few bugs found based on test feedback. The game will be launching a new mode soon."

"New gameplay and some conflicts will be added. Specific details will be kept secret for now. Please stay tuned."

Running Rat: "Holy crap!! Family, I'm living in a great era."

Loves Cilantro: "Yi Tian, ​​when will you open up new reservation slots? I really want to play. ˚‧º·(˚˃̣̣̥᷄⌓˂̣̣̥᷅)‧º·˚……"

Yi Tian: "The game will open up new pre-registration slots. The specific application process has been pinned to the top. Interested players can check it out."
