New Map Unlocked

"You few, hurry up and call out to Brother Su, don't let him leave!"

Chu Qingtian watched Su Wuming, who had turned and left quickly without a word, and was stunned. But as the president who had managed Heavenly Might for many years, he quickly regained his senses and immediately asked several elders to stop the person.

Although the elders were still a bit dazed, as experts, they reacted quickly and rushed to the elevator entrance, preparing to stop Su Wuming.

"Qingwei! What exactly did you test him with to make him react so strongly?"

Chu Qingtian looked at Zhang Qingwei with immense curiosity and confusion.

The dignified Blade Saint, a top expert ranked in the entire Pilgrimage, had only participated in an entry test, and upon leaving, felt as if his heart had been wounded. Who would believe such a thing if it were told?

"Me? I didn't test him with anything, it was just the High Martial Descent assessment." Zhang Qingwei also looked at the departing Su Wuming with confusion. "Is it really that difficult?"

Being awarded the title of Blade Saint in the Pilgrimage, her combat talent and skill were no less than Luo Wu Shang and Zhao Hu, placing her at the pinnacle of experts.

Zhao Hu had previously said it was very, very difficult and he wasn't confident yet. This meant he would be confident in the future, and it would likely be the same for Su Wuming, serving as a good way to put him in his place.

However, to have Su Wuming feel hurt by the test was something Zhang Qingwei hadn't expected.

"The High Martial Descent assessment?" Chu Qingtian was also taken aback. "Is that the game Wu Shang recommended?"

"Yes, that game will definitely become incredibly popular in the future and can easily replace Pilgrimage." Zhang Qingwei nodded.

Thinking of the realism and her own agile reactions, her heart burned with excitement. She couldn't wait to rush back and start digging again. This kind of joy was something she hadn't experienced in years.

"It seems this game is indeed good, to be able to earn such praise from you." Chu Qingtian's evaluation of High Martial Descent increased after hearing this. He then said, "In that case, starting today, you and Wu Shang will exclusively form a High Martial department. There will be no issues with money or personnel; all will be treated the same as the other three new games."

"President, this game is a bit special. You need a quota to enter, and the quotas are very, very limited, while there are many people who have made reservations. Getting in to play is like drawing lots; it's not something that can be accomplished with just a few people and money."

Zhang Qingwei thought of High Martial Descent, which already had nearly twenty thousand reservations.

If she didn't have enough manpower, even if High Martial Descent opened more quotas, it would be difficult to guarantee that people from their Heavenly Might could get in.

"How many people do you need?" Chu Qingtian understood the game was quite tricky when he heard about the lottery.

"Ideally, a million people, plus each reservation requires 4999." Zhang Qingwei thought for a moment and said, "This way, when the quotas increase next time, many people from our Heavenly Might should be able to get in."

"Uh, I think it's better to proceed cautiously with developing this game." Chu Qingtian's hands trembled slightly as he spoke. "You also know the current unstable situation in Pilgrimage, with a large number of personnel needing to be stationed in cities in all directions. Let's start with ten thousand people."

"Moreover, you can't even get into this game right now. Having too many people go there would be a waste of manpower. These ten thousand people will be the vanguard, familiarizing themselves with the game using that assessment. When more quotas are opened, they can also guide others."

"Okay, I'll go arrange it now. I'll hand over the guild's other work to the assistants." Zhang Qingwei felt liberated and instinctively used her Leopard Shadow Steps to rush home.

High Martial World, Obsidian Martial Arts Hall.

"These past three days, their development speed has truly been increasing." Lin Qi sat in the lounge, calculating accounts with a small notebook.

With the addition of seven newcomers and the continuous improvement of their physical fitness, the underground development progress had also greatly increased. In just three days, they had excavated nearly two thousand square meters of energy land underground and planted 490 stalks of Blood Essence Rice.

After waiting for another ten days, they would be able to harvest 4900 grams of Blood Essence Rice. After deducting costs, they would earn 1470 Bits, which would amount to 4410 Bits per month.

This income alone was already more than many formal residents of the City of Light Chasing, making him a small middle-class individual.

It could even be predicted that with another month of development, they would excavate nearly twenty thousand square meters of energy land, earning 44100 Bits in a month.

Within two months, not only would the hospital fees be paid off, but the loans from the Gorilla Gang would also be repaid, with some left over.

However, compared to the financial gains, Lin Qi was even happier about his own improvement.

After three days of harvesting, the Soul Shocking Breathing Technique had increased from 10% mastery of the first level to 21%. Although it hadn't increased as directly as he had imagined, it largely depended on the player's own proficiency. If the player's proficiency was low, the extraction effect would also decrease. Thus, in three days, it had only increased by 11%.

However, this 11% increase was still astonishing.

Strength had increased from 109.8 kilograms to 126.7 kilograms, and speed had increased from 10.6 meters per second to 10.8 meters per second. Among ordinary people in the High Martial World, he was not considered very weak.

What was even more astonishing about the extraction authority was that it could not only extract cultivation methods but also any martial skills learned by players. However, this extraction was very random; it couldn't be determined whether a cultivation method or a martial skill would be extracted, and even which martial skill it would be was random.

Therefore, over the past three days, Lin Qi had chosen the two individuals who improved the fastest in martial skills: Zhang Qingwei, whose Leopard Shadow Steps had reached 35% mastery, and Fang Zhen, whose Crushing Stone Fist had reached 37% mastery.

For some reason, these two seemed to have a great talent for these two martial skills. Even if others trained desperately, none of them exceeded 20% mastery, but Zhang Qingwei and Fang Zhen easily reached it.

Especially Fang Zhen, he used the Crushing Stone Fist so skillfully!

Others used shovels to deal with hard soil and rocks when digging, but Fang Zhen just used his fists. His efficiency even made Luo Wu Shang, who ranked second in proficiency, gasp in admiration.

Martial Skill: Crushing Stone Fist, First Level: Crushing Stake Realm (53% Mastery)

Martial Skill: Leopard Shadow Steps, First Level: Chasing Wind Realm (45% Mastery)

Although these two martial skills were only at the introductory level and couldn't unleash their full power, and their usage consumed a lot of energy, making prolonged combat impossible, they had already given Lin Qi the strength to defeat a quasi-apprentice.

"With this strength, I can also rent a large tricycle to get some lumber." Lin Qi looked at the system bar at the bottom of his vision.

System: Congratulations to the Martial Transmission System for exceeding thirty thousand reservations, reward: Level 2 Merit-Based Admission Authority. (Found that the host does not own a complete martial arts hall, reward issuance suspended.)

Regarding the Merit-Based Admission Authority, After enjoying Level 1, Lin Qi was completely hooked. His desire for Level 2 surpassed everything, but without completing the first task, he couldn't obtain Level 2 authority at all.

Lin Qi then walked to the announcement board in the training ground and directly posted new tasks on it.

Task 1: Ore Transportation. Follow the Hall Master to Grizzly Mine to transport ore. For every 100 kilograms of ore transported back to the martial arts hall, 3 points can be obtained. This task can be accepted infinitely. (Restriction: Only players with strength above 95 kilograms and speed above 9.5 meters per second can accept it.)

Task 2: Lumber Collection. Follow the Hall Master to Grizzly Mine to chop lumber. For each large tree transported back to the martial arts hall, 5 points can be obtained. This task can be accepted infinitely. (Restriction: Only players with strength above 95 kilograms and speed above 9.5 meters per second can accept it.)

After Lin Qi posted the tasks, Fang Zhen, who had gone alone to the outskirts of the city to rent a large tricycle and had spent the night digging, was about to go back to log off and rest when he saw two new tasks on the training ground announcement board. His sleepiness vanished instantly.

"Brothers! Come out quickly! Something big has happened!"

"New tasks! There are new tasks!"

"Not only are there new tasks! A new map, Grizzly Mine, has also been opened!"
