EFB Chapter 46 Arranging Players
Chapter 46 Arranging Players
Inside the Qingxuan Sect, Zhou Yi smiled as he looked at the 27 young players before him, preparing to assign them their next tasks.
The five members of the Hidden Dragon faction are quite strong and can continue hunting monsters in the Spirit Beast Garden to gain more luck points for themselves.
As for the 20 new players, not only are their cultivation levels weak, but their combat awareness is also not very high. If they are arranged to hunt together, it may only increase casualties and deduct luck points.
Therefore, the safest approach right now is to let new players mine and cultivate spirit fields.
Players, you know...
When you first started playing the game, who didn't mine for resources to level up?
Unfortunately, he currently has 500 spirit stones, but hasn't had time to purchase any spirit tools for farming or mining.
We must take the initiative to go to Lianyungang Market to buy new tools, which may cause us a lot of trouble.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yi carefully recalled the layout of the market and planned to set off immediately after assigning the tasks.
Time waits for no one.
One day later, the steward Zhou Qinghe will find his location.
Including the time he needs to prepare his equipment and travel, Zhou Yi has at most about three more days.
What's worse is that his luck value has only just reached 100 points after the players hunted the monsters and the two sword immortals went to the Jiang family. He is still far from his goal of 150 luck points.
We can't delay any longer.
With this thought in mind, Zhou Yi quickly waved his hand to arrange for the 20 new players.
"Hey, do you guys think the sect leader might just send us out to kill monsters and level up?"
"You know what, this is actually pretty exciting. But we don't even have any decent equipment right now, are we really capable of defeating those monsters?"
"Hehe... What's there to be afraid of? Even if things go wrong, we should still have the big shots from Qianlong protecting us."
The players whispered among themselves about Zhou Yi's possible plans, but most thought that the next step would likely be to fight monsters and level up.
Unfortunately, they were wrong.
Zhou Yi walked up to the crowd, dressed in white and standing with his hands behind his back:
"You are all newly initiated disciples of my Qingxuan Sect. Your cultivation is still shallow, your foundation is not yet stable, and you have not yet accumulated any sect contributions."
"If you rashly go to hunt demonic beasts, you will only increase casualties, which is unwise. In order to help you establish yourselves as soon as possible, the sect has made special arrangements - first go into the mines to quarry stones, or go to the spirit fields to cultivate and accumulate contribution points. After you have acquired magic tools and have some support, then you can go to hunt demons."
Mining?
Farming?
The game has a new way to play!
The players looked at each other in surprise, and after a moment of astonishment, they quickly burst into exclamations.
They were getting tired of just grinding and leveling up, so they were naturally excited to discover a new way to play.
"As for today, all disciples are welcome to explore the sect on their own and familiarize themselves with the environment."
As soon as Zhou Yi finished speaking, he signaled the new players to disperse and leave.
Next, his gaze fell on Qianlong and the others, and he said with a smile, "You are the pillars of my Qingxuan Sect, so your upcoming tasks will naturally be different from theirs."
As he said this, Zhou Yi raised his hand and waved it, and a light screen appeared in the void.
The scene of the Spirit Beast Garden appeared before everyone's eyes.
After the players returned and learned about the Spirit Beast Garden, Zhou Yi immediately went to inquire about the Crimson Flame Monkey, Wei Chen.
The answer was quite simple—
In fact, at least 40% of the many demonic beasts currently entrenched in the sect ruins escaped from the Spirit Beast Garden, while the remaining 60% were invaded from the outside during the beast tide.
Qianlong looked somewhat excited. He stepped forward and cautiously asked, "Then, Sect Master, what are your orders?"
Zhou Yi smiled slightly and gently patted Qianlong's shoulder:
"The Spirit Beast Garden is teeming with demonic beasts, and many of the demonic beasts in the sect ruins also originated from there." Zhou Yi paused, his tone becoming more serious. "Now I need the five of you to go and clear out all the demonic beasts from the Spirit Beast Garden!"
The group was initially taken aback, but then the mission information appeared on all the players' panels.
Main Quest: Clear the Sect Ruins (Phase 2, Spirit Beast Garden)
[Mission Objective: Eliminate all monsters in the Spirit Beast Garden within 3 days]
[Task Reward: 60 Sect Contribution Points]
"Qianlong, am I seeing things... 60 sect contribution points?"
"My goodness... this reward is absolutely amazing!"
"W-w-w... does this mean my debt is finally going to be paid off?"
The stars exclaimed in amazement, their hearts pounding.
He hadn't forgotten that he still owed the sect leader 50 sect contribution points.
……
At the sect's spiritual field, two like-minded young players were having a lively conversation.
"Hey, Salty Fish Bro, didn't you say you really enjoy exploring hidden storylines?"
"Running Knife Mouse asked curiously, its eyes gleaming with golden light."
"That's right, what's wrong, little mouse?"
Salty Fish Doesn't Turn Over nodded, somewhat bewildered by the seemingly random remark from Running Knife Rat.
The knife-wielding rat smiled mysteriously and continued, "Salted Fish Bro, you said you like exploring hidden storylines, and I really enjoy scavenging in open maps. If we teamed up, wouldn't that be...!"
"Damn, what do you mean by a perfect match? Can you use more precise words? This is called a powerful alliance."
"Well, as long as the meaning is roughly the same, it's fine..."
Runaway Mouse scratched his head sheepishly. He had been so excited that he had blurted out the wrong words.
After a brief discussion, the two players quickly made their final decision.
As the saying goes, there's no better time than today.
Since we're already prepared to explore, let's start today.
And so, the two young players hit it off immediately and quickly made their way to the outside of the sect ruins.
Two hours later.
Inside a small grove of trees, the knife-wielding rat pointed to the open plain outside, its eyes filled with some confusion.
"Hey? Salty Fish Bro, come look at that!"
Upon hearing what the running knife rat said, the salted fish didn't turn over and looked up. The next moment, his pupils suddenly contracted.
A long caravan suddenly appeared before the two of them.
A flag fluttered in the middle of the caravan, bearing the words "Yunjia City" in large characters.
"Damn, isn't this the hidden plot I've been dreaming of? Even a loser can turn things around!"
Salty Fish cried out in surprise. The two sides were not far apart, and it quickly attracted the attention of the Yun family caravan.
Yun Yi, who was leading the group, frowned slightly. When he heard other cultivators speaking while traveling in the Lianyun Mountains, it was not necessarily good news.
"The Yun family caravan is passing through this area. May I ask what brings you here, my friend?"
Yun Yi shouted loudly, his tone tinged with wariness.
The goods they are currently transporting are of considerable value, and they cannot afford to make any mistakes.
The knife-wielding rat emerged first from the dense forest, a smile on its face that betrayed no malice whatsoever.
"Haha, Fellow Daoist Yun, there's no need to be nervous. We mean no harm; we just want to..."
