[Update duration: 1 day]
I'm Not a Sword Immortal: "Wow, they fix everything as soon as players give feedback. The game's planners are so kind."
When the stars of the human race shine brightly: "Bro, you know what, I can't wait to log on and start grinding."
Salty Fish Never Turns Over: "Although I'm not a farming player, I still hope to be drawn. The open world must have many hidden storylines."
……
Returning to the present moment, Zhou Yi looked at the spiritual rice in his hand, silently making calculations in his mind.
Although he still had 20 points of luck left, he did not choose to use them all at once to summon players.
One reason is that it's easy to manage.
More importantly, cultivators must consume spiritual rice after embarking on cultivation and cannot eat ordinary food. Otherwise, they may have to expel impurities or even damage their spirituality, affecting their cultivation.
Although players are born with the power of destiny, they must ultimately transform their destiny into spiritual energy for cultivation, thus consuming spiritual rice is essential.
"Selling these Green Shadow Wolf corpses will get us a hundred catties of spirit rice, so we won't have to worry about short-term supply. Let's focus on cultivating the spirit fields first."
That's right, the real reason he recruited farming players was actually to cultivate spiritual fields.
However, this cannot be said explicitly.
He was, after all, a sect leader, so he could at least say a few polite words.
"A day should be enough time for me to buy the spirit rice. I should head to Liuye Town first."
A day passed slowly.
In front of the ruins of the sect.
As soon as the game was open, the ten young players immediately logged in.
"The expert wasn't lying! This experience is incomparable to those crappy games on the market."
"Is this really a game? It feels so real."
"Although it's a lot of fun, I still think it's not as good as Narukami."
"Try stringing one more."
……
Zhou Yi stood to the side, looked at the new players, and smiled.
"Is this the Sect Master? His looks, his demeanor, his aura—he's so handsome!"
The silly player with the ID "I'm Not a Sword Immortal" looked at Zhou Yi with shining eyes and great excitement.
"Sect Master, I want to have your babies..."
The player named "Big Sword" was muted before he could finish speaking.
Seeing this, the other players became much more well-behaved and started playing the game.
"Hey, you know what, this new game panel is actually pretty useful."
The group of stars were the first to bring up the panel and display it to everyone.
Although the white panel was simple, it contained all the attributes and equipment data, leaving several new players stunned.
Qianlong walked forward with a smile and waved to them, saying, "Haha, my name is Qianlong. It's nice to meet you all. Now, let's go through the story together."
The newcomers nodded and followed Qianlong toward Li Fan.
"Suiyin, this time you'll go and build up your favorability with the sect leader," Qianlong said.
Li Fan nodded and led a few players to Zhou Yi.
"Greetings, Sect Master."
He and several new players bowed respectfully and addressed Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi nodded slightly and patted Li Fan on the shoulder: "You did a good job last time. This time, the task of guiding the sect's new disciples is entrusted to you."
Li Fan was taken aback upon hearing this, and then a new prompt appeared on the player panel.
[Guidance Quest Begins]
[Mission Objective: To guide new disciples to familiarize themselves with the sect and help them improve their strength to break through to the Qi Refining stage]
[Number of participants: 5]
[Task Reward: 5 Sect Contribution Points]
Sect Contribution Points!
Li Fan's eyes lit up. Having read so many cultivation novels, he knew this stuff all too well.
With this, I'm sure I can exchange it for a lot of good things from the sect leader.
Magical artifacts, elixirs, and even top-tier cultivation manuals are all possibilities.
Li Fan snapped out of his daze and immediately replied to Zhou Yi, "Disciple understands, I will go and complete it immediately."
Just as Li Fan was about to leave, a sound came from behind him.
"Wait a minute!"
He instinctively turned around and asked Zhou Yi, "Does the Sect Master have any further instructions?"
Zhou Yi waved his sleeve and said calmly, "You only need to bring two ordinary disciples with you on this trip. As for the other three disciples from the Spirit Field, I have my own arrangements."
Li Fan was puzzled, but he still respectfully agreed and left with the two players, "Great Sword" and "I'm Not a Sword Immortal".
"I see this mission requires 5 people. Have you all received the mission?"
Li Fan asked Qianlong and the others behind him.
Upon hearing this, the group opened the panel and found that the previously empty taskbar now had a new task called "Guiding Players".
"Not bad, Brother Broken Silver, you even triggered a quest. Not bad at all."
"Immortal opened his mouth and spoke, his tone full of admiration."
Crouching Tiger looked at the task and fell into deep thought.
"Do you guys remember? The update promised a main quest, but it hasn't happened yet. Could it be a bug?"
After hearing what Wohu said, the group looked at each other in bewilderment, as it seemed to be true.
"Stars, why don't you try triggering the storyline? Maybe it's because you were just guiding a new player, which is why the introduction quest was triggered first."
"Wo Hu suggested."
Seeing this, the stars nodded and walked alone toward the direction of the Book of Changes.
Upon seeing this, Zhou Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
The player "Big Sword" had left him a bit bewildered, and for a moment he had actually forgotten to mention the main quest first.
Crouching Tiger really came through, saving the day and doing him a huge favor.
No wonder he's a gaming pro.
A moment later, Qunxing approached Zhou Yi, his face unusually serious: "Disciple Qunxing greets Sect Master. The sect is currently in decline, and I wish to rise up and help the sect fight back. I hope Sect Master can guide me."
Qianlong raised an eyebrow and glanced at the stars.
"Wow, this kid is actually quite reliable when it matters. That's a really good thing."
Zhou Yi cut to the chase: "Our Qingxuan Sect is currently in decline, its vitality greatly diminished, and it is precisely the time for us to recuperate. However, the heartland of our sect has been occupied by demonic beasts, and even the safety of our disciples is uncertain. How can we talk about reviving our great cause?"
He glanced at the crowd and said in a deep voice:
"To establish a sect, one must first eliminate the beast. If this scourge is not removed, all else will be in vain!"
Everyone's expression tightened, and they all nodded.
The players' main quests also popped up on their player panels.
Main Quest: Exterminate Beasts and Establish a Sect
[Long-term mission objective: Clear the sect ruins of monsters and rebuild the Qingxuan Sect]
[Number of players: All players]
[Mission Rewards: Version update, abundant benefits, and unlocking more maps]
[First mission phase: Unlocked after completing the guide mission]
Upon seeing the mission, the stars gasped in shock.
The main storyline is a long-term quest that all players participate in; he couldn't even imagine how generous the rewards would be.
Not to mention the two major announcements: the map launch and the version update.
The expressions on Qianlong and the others' faces were similar, all revealing excitement.
"Just the two of you swordsman players, huh? Come on, let's go level up!"
Qianlong grabbed the two of them and urged them on.
"Wait, I haven't spoken to the sect leader yet."
The moment Da Baojian uttered a sound, Zhou Yi glared at him, instantly silencing him.
I was wrong, I was wrong, Sect Master, please don't silence me, I won't be naughty again.
