The Fourth Calamity: My Sect Has Countless Prodigies

Chapter 4 Natural Disaster Strikes

Blue Star, inside a rented room.

Li Fan looked at the gaming helmet in his hand, somewhat incredulous.

Can this thing really simulate a virtual world game?

And the company that developed the game was able to deliver the helmet to his home without anyone noticing.

He didn't randomly fill in the address like he was in superhuman, but the helmet inexplicably appeared in front of his house.

There were no warnings.

"Forget it, how could an ordinary office worker like me be targeted by capital? I'd better log in and check."

Li Fan shook his head, put on his helmet, and stopped thinking about it.

......

Qing Xuanzong.

Zhou Yi took a deep breath. According to the information on the forum, the player would arrive in less than 2 minutes.

He now has to act like a sect leader, with the demeanor befitting an immortal.

"Ahem, as a sect leader, one must maintain dignity; as an immortal, one must be carefree. So, to be both sect leader and immortal is simply..."

Zhou Yi looked at the five bodies lying on the ground, coughed twice to clear his throat, but he was still a little apprehensive.

It was his first time playing an NPC, and he was a little uncomfortable without a tutorial.

As for these bodies, they are bodies of destiny condensed by the system using destiny points, used to carry the players' consciousness in this place.

Then why put it on the ground?

Zhou Yi stated that the sect is currently in dire need of reconstruction, with many demonic beasts roaming the ruins. Even his own housing is a problem, let alone finding accommodation for the players.

What spiritual practitioner is without scruples?

He didn't want to take the risk of exploring such a dangerous area alone; he'd leave that important task to the younger players.

Players love taking on quests.

Not to mention that they haven't even reached the Qi Refining stage yet, so the penalty for losing a Qi point isn't significant.

As Zhou Yi was thinking this, the next moment, a system notification sounded in his mind.

[Ding! Host has achieved the achievement - Novice Apprentice, reward: 5 Luck Points]

Just then, the five bodies in front of him were suddenly enveloped in a layer of golden light.

Zhou Yi's eyes lit up.

coming.

The best chives have finally arrived.

"Wow, did I time travel? But the 100-ton king didn't hit me."

On the ruins, one person was the first to stand up, his eyes excitedly surveying his surroundings.

Soon, the other four bodies on the ground also reacted.

Li Fan looked at the scene before him, stood up, and looked somewhat bewildered.

I just took a nap.

Where did this come from? Is this still Earth?

No, no.

I think I just entered the game.

Holy crap, is this a game?

and many more……

You're telling me this is a game?

This is so realistic, it's unbelievable that this is a game!

"Why isn't there a character customization panel? The character models are all randomized. I wonder if this game has inherited my real-life good looks like Daniel Wu."

"Tsk tsk tsk, Qianlong, you call yourself Yanzu? Don't make your Tiger brother laugh."

A sound came and pulled Li Fan out of his shock.

He looked toward the source of the sound and saw two people arguing loudly, with the IDs "Hidden Dragon in the Abyss" and "Crouching Tiger in the Forest" floating above their heads.

Before Li Fan could react, another voice rang out beside him.

"Wait, why isn't there even a gender option? How can you assume I'm a man?"

"Yeah, what if we're a special group? How can your game be like this?"

On the other side, while the characters were instantly unlocking "Immortal Mode" and shining like stars, the people with those two IDs were indignant about not being able to create a female character.

Zhou Yi was somewhat speechless and decided to give the players some more time to calm down.

But the players' desire to explore clearly exceeded his expectations.

"Hey guys, look! That should be an NPC, right?"

Qianlong stretched out his hand, gesturing for the others to look in Zhou Yi's direction.

The bamboo grove sways, and the morning sun filters through the leaves, casting dappled light and shadow.

The young man in the blue robe stood with his hands behind his back, his sleeves fluttering even without wind, and a faint spiritual energy emanated from his body, as deep as an abyss and as majestic as a mountain.

His gaze swept over the five players who were still crawling on the ground, his expression calm, neither sad nor happy.

A moment later, Zhou Yi slowly stepped forward, each step resonating in the hearts of everyone present, as if he were one with the pulse of this world.

"Once you enter this gate, you are bound by fate."

He spoke, his voice not loud, yet clear as a spring striking a stone, each word distinct.

"I am Zhou Yi, the thirty-seventh sect leader of the Qingxuan Sect. Now that you have arrived, you are my disciples."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over the crowd and landing on the dilapidated palace in the distance: "Though this place is currently in ruins, it is also the starting point of the path. I hope that you will... live up to this journey and devote yourselves to the pursuit of the Dao."

This...this is an NPC.

Even the tone of voice has such a fantasy feel to it, what kind of AI model is being used?

All five people present were startled and turned their gazes toward Zhou Yi.

As a seasoned enforcer in the gaming industry, Qianlong Zaiyuan reacted swiftly.

This NPC is the sect leader, which makes him the most important character in the early stages. There should be a tutorial for new players right now.

At the very least, there should be some beginner quests or something.

Qianlong stepped forward and respectfully bowed to Zhou Yi, saying, "This disciple is named Qianlong Zaiyuan. I greet the Sect Master. May I ask what tasks the Sect Master has assigned?"

Zhou Yi smiled slightly. This player was quite sensible; he accepted the quest on his own without being reminded.

My disciples have the makings of liver gods!

As for the others, their expressions weren't as pleasant as Zhou Yi's.

That damned Qianlong, taking advantage of everyone's inattention, actually struck up a conversation with the sect leader first.

This NPC is so important, all the initial favorability points were raised by him alone.

Traitor! He really is a traitor!

On the other side, Zhou Yi nodded in satisfaction and slowly said, "The sect is now standing on ruins, with demonic beasts roaming inside. Disciples are needed to go and investigate. Remember, there must be no mistakes."

After saying that, he took out a jade slip and handed it to Qianlong Zaiyuan: "Go, use this to register the location of the demon beast. Bring it back to me when you're done, and you'll be rewarded."

"In addition, the sect rules are also attached to it. Those who violate them will be punished. As newly admitted disciples, you must always remember this and never violate the sect rules."

"Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless."

At this point, Zhou Yi's expression turned serious, and his tone became somewhat cold.

Players generally possess a relatively flexible moral compass.

With their invincibility buff stacked on top of that, if they aren't properly disciplined, who knows what kind of trouble they might cause.

Qianlong Zaiyuan accepted the jade slip, nodded solemnly in agreement, and turned back to his disciples.

"Damn it, Qianlong, you're not loyal to your brother! We agreed to achieve immortality together, so why did you go off to farm favors?" Crouching Tiger Hidden Forest said to Qianlong in an annoyed tone.

Qianlong patted his head, then realized what he had done and said apologetically, "Oh dear, I'm so sorry, I was too hasty. But it's okay, this is a group quest, we can all do it together and share the rewards."

The others' expressions softened considerably upon hearing this.

In the early stages of the game, every second counts.

Such a realistic game has enormous potential in the market.
