Summoning Players into My Game

"On the table beside you, there are registration books and pens. After writing down your name and age, you can go to the first floor to collect our Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall's basic martial techniques and training techniques. Tomorrow morning, a transport truck will be specifically arranged to take you to Death Valley, where the martial arts hall needs secret silver ores. You need to prove yourselves by bringing back a ton of secret silver ore each within four days. Anyone who fails will be punished by the martial arts hall, so please take it seriously."

"In addition, the food and water you need will only be provided for one day by the martial arts hall, the rest you have to purchase yourself. There are more than six hours until the departure in the morning. If you have no problems, you may move freely now."

Having said that, Lin Qi did not bother with the players who wanted to ask questions and directly went upstairs. Meanwhile, all players wearing smart watches received streams of messages, consisting of various resource collection tasks required by Red Moon Town, as well as escort and protection missions only available to seasoned players.

All players with a strength of advanced apprentice or higher can escort newcomers to Death Valley tomorrow morning, protecting them while they mine secret silver ore in Death Valley and returning safely four days later. Up to two hundred players can join, earning not only points and contribution but also a hundred reputation points for Red Moon Town.

Players looked at the hundred reputation points from Red Moon Town, each breathing somewhat heavily.

Since the update of version 1.4, among the various tasks currently released, only the resource collection tasks from Red Moon Town offer reputation rewards. Other tasks like assault missions don't provide any reputation.

As for those resource collection tasks, even if you take down a middle-tier monster and bring the whole thing back, you won't get a single point of reputation unless you submit ten middle-tier monsters at once, which rewards five reputation points.

The value of a high-tier monster is higher; bringing the whole thing back directly rewards twenty reputation points, but hunting high-tier monsters is no easy feat.

Currently, just needing to protect newcomers for four days in Death Valley could easily earn one hundred reputation points—quite a lot indeed. Moreover, this is clearly a limited-time task, with no telling when it might appear again.

As players rushed to enroll for the task, Fang Zhen inside the martial arts hall was stunned.

He had just logged on, only to find his secret silver ore confiscated. That was his hard-earned resource…

"Brother Zhen, why aren't you signing up? There are only two hundred spots; if you wait any longer, they'll be gone." Twilight of the Gods curiously looked at the unresponsive Fang Zhen.

Fang Zhen snapped back to reality and quickly signed up. Now that the secret silver ore had been confiscated, he had to earn some back, or it would only be a bigger loss.

The next morning.

After a night of learning, five hundred newcomers boarded five large transport trucks, accompanied by two hundred seasoned players, heading directly towards Death Valley.

This commotion drew a lot of attention, with many curious about what the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall was suddenly up to, causing such a big move, with hundreds of people leaving the city, even the hall master of Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall accompanying them.

On the mountain road outside Chasing Light City.

"This task really takes time; it seems these four days can only be spent practicing martial techniques." One Leaf Floating Cloud looked at the scenery outside the car window, quite disappointed.

If not for this task, they would surely be extracting blood from the double-horned leopard to quickly level up, but now for reputation points, to quickly gain resurrection choices at the respawn point, they can only stay in Death Valley for four days.

Ye Qinglu next to him didn't mind, even feeling a bit pleased. Her Thousand Swords Map would take a considerable amount of time to practice. Four days should be enough for her to master the Giant Sword Array, and by then, her strength might not be inferior to Luo Wushang's.

Meanwhile, in the last large transport truck of the convoy.

"Captain, I feel we're being followed, and there are quite a few of them." A sharp male trainee looked at the woods outside and whispered to Dark Judgment reporting the situation.

"Not bad, you were the first to notice." Dark Judgment nodded in approval, still cultivating with closed eyes, then asked, "What do you think we should do next?"

"I think we can trace them back and find their nest, then wipe them out." said the sharp male.

"Seems like there are indeed some excellent people among this batch of trainees." Dark Judgment said satisfied, "In that case, I will give you a task, go and find out where the stalkers' nest is, and then report back to me."

"Yes!" Seventeen trainees quickly and quietly got off the vehicle to pursue those tracking them.

Only after the seventeen trainees had left did Dark Judgment's mouth curl slightly upward.

"I never expected that just doing a task would uncover such a hidden storyline. It seems bringing these trainees in was indeed the right decision." Dark Judgment watched the pursuing trainees, feeling his evaluation of Descent of High Martial rise several notches, finding it truly suitable for training these mercenaries.

Escort and eradicate!

This is the bread and butter for cosmic mercenaries like them. Typically, before becoming official cosmic mercenaries, there are rare such opportunities for practical experience, but with the open exploration of Descent of High Martial, such opportunities are virtually everywhere.

On the other side, a team of Feather Race men and women, constantly tracking, looked in the direction of the progressing convoy, then called one over.

"Go back and inform Lord Mans that the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall's convoy is now heading towards Death Valley." The Feather Race male leading directed, "Quickly go and return, and we will leave marks along the way."

"Yes!"

With the strength of merely a basic apprentice, the Feather Race male nodded and proceeded directly to the headquarters of the White Feather Gang.

It wasn't until the Feather Race male had run five or six hundred meters away that a team of trainee players emerged.

"They just sent someone back to report."

"Let's go, follow him!"

With that, the team of mercenary trainees set off with Leopard Shadow Step, quietly following the trailing Feather Race male.
