Chapter 462: Foreign Players Entered
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Golden Flower Granny was not easy to deal with, but A’li, who was in Life and Death Realm, was incredibly easy to deal with!
Thousands of Emei Sect disciples surged forward in order to obtain the Life and Death Realm martial art manual from Emei Sect’s elder. They went to attack Golden Flower Granny’s group wave after wave.
They had to save Zhou Zhiruo, who had her qi sealed, and capture A’li, who had a poisonous martial art, but whose qi was not great enough.
There also had to deal with Golden Flower Granny, whose strength was unfathomable!
Many people thought that they could have a chance to gain some sort of benefit if they had many people in the area, but the truth was that while Golden Flower Granny’s hidden weapons were not as strong as those of Flying Dagger Little Li, she could still easily kill a group of people in Life and Death Realm.
*****
The news of Golden Flower Granny going on a rampage in Emei Sect swiftly spread through the entire game. Even though there were thousands of Emei Sect disciples, they could do nothing about Golden Flower Granny. They could only watch helplessly as Golden Flower Granny and A’li left Emei Sect’s territory with Zhou Zhiruo.
The small main quest appeared quickly, but vanished just as quickly.
Originally, a failed quest would not stir up many people’s attention and discussion, but when this quest appeared, another quest that came from the same origins as it showed up in the game!
It happened in Spirit Snake Island!
Chen You of Beggar’s Sect had brought his people to Spirit Snake Island along with a group of other Beggar’s Sect players.
Originally, it was normal for Beggar’s Sect to have such a quest, but what attracted countless players’ attention was that when the people from Beggar’s Sect entered Spirit Snake Island, something unbelievable happened.
Someone from Daiei [1] traveled miles across the seas and entered China’s Spirit Snake Island, and he even gained Xie Xun’s trust.
A foreigner who did not belong to China had actually managed to obtain Xie Xun’s trust, and he even helped Xie Xun defeat Beggar’s Sect’s disciples. For that, he received the legacy of Golden Haired Lion King Xie Xun’s Lion’s Roar, and countless martial artists from China grew furious, but soon, they fell into deep thought.
They could understand why Golden Haired Lion King Xie Xun did not believe in the martial artists from China. The foreigners did not understand Heavenly Sword and Dragon Saber’s plot, and because of it, Xie Xun’s wariness of them was lower.
But a foreigner had actually managed to enter China and interfere with the quests, which obviously led to disputes in China. It was something that many Chinese martial artists could not accept. In fact, they even thought about whether they could get similar fortune if they went to other countries.
After all, during the Yuan Dynasty, Genghis Khan had nearly conquered all of Eurasia. He had even managed to go to Japan. If was not stopped in his tracks by a storm, he might have even set up his flag there. At that time, a lot of China’s culture had spread out.
Xie Xun had given his trust to a player from Daiei.
It was an introduction.
However, an unprecedented wave of attention toward the progress of the foreign countries within World of Martial Arts stirred up in the official website!
Even though the Eastern style martial arts game was stuck with the sign that it was a game from China and practically everyone played it as a game purely set in China, the Life and Death Realm player from Daiei allowed them to understand that the popularity of World of Martial Arts was not limited to only their country...
Many foreigners as well as foreign guilds paid close attention to it! They were also fighting for it!
Gradually, the progress of America, Europe, other Asian countries, and other western countries were posted on the Chinese official website by many players who had social connections.
Europe and America’s progress in the game was somewhat slow. They seemed to still be wondering about what qi was. They were interested in it, but unfamiliar with it. As of then, there were few people who had reached the highest qi realm among players—Life and Death Realm.
On the other hand, Japan, Thailand, Vietnam, Korea, and other places who were familiar with Chinese culture were not that far behind China. They were only a small distance away.
Not only were countless Chinese players shocked by this, there were even many sects and players who grew restless.
Many people got envious of Towering Palace’s great foresight.
Even Thunderous Battle contacted Happy to mention it. He indirectly said that he had the thought of expanding to the coastal area and developing their clan at the borders.
After Thunderous Battle spoke to Happy about it, the Three Lonely Wolves, Phoenix Dances, and Tea Words appeared together!
“Did you hear about the matter at Spirit Snake Island?”
When Happy opened the door, he sniffed a nice fragrance. It was from Phoenix Dances, who rushed in impatiently. She quickly stated her intention for coming.
“A group of barbarians appeared at Dali as well. No one could understand what they were saying, but they had no problems in accepting quests. They even attacked quite a few of the headquarters of the sects over there.”
“I don’t think you should be worried about this right now, should you?”
Happy was experienced in the game, and he had seen all of it before. Naturally, he knew of the strength of the foreigners, and it was not enough for them to fight against the martial artists from China right away. A small disturbance and individual incidents would soon be squashed, so there was no need for them to be worried.
However, when he returned to his couch to sit down, Phoenix Dances followed him and placed her hands against the back of his couch, her arms on either side of his head. She then stared into Happy’s eyes at close proximity.
“Who said that we don’t need to be worried?!” she asked.
It scared Happy out of his wits.
“World of Martial Arts is a game with ancient China as its setting. If some small countries bully us, we’ll be humiliated and embarrassed.”
“It’s not just ancient China, it’s the ancient setting of the entire world...” Happy pulled off Phoenix Dances arms from above his shoulders. “Don’t worry, they’re nobodies. They won’t be able to do anything.”
The Three Lonely Wolves and Tea Words sat on the couch across from the two people in tacit agreement. They just watched Happy push Phoenix Dances down to sit beside him.
“Did you come over for this?”
Chen Fan had a serious expression. “Of course. This isn’t a small matter. It’s our national prestige, can’t you see it?”
“It’s just a game. Stop dragging in all this other nonsense. What do you think Towering Palace has been doing all this while? They’ve been going to Goryeo, Western Region, and the uncivilized regions whenever they’re free. Are you saying that you’re the only ones allowed to go to their places, and no one else is allowed to enter? The imperial court isn’t even bothered by this, so why are you bothered? Are you more important than the imperial court now?”
Happy knew very clearly that the initial interferences were because of the players’ undirected behavior. They sometimes launched small-scale revenge plots because they had been bothered or attacked. It had nothing to do with national prestige.
As expected, once Happy said those words, the five people were instantly stunned and looked at each other at a loss.
“Who among you leaked the news?”
“I said nothing.”
“No way, did you guess it? We got to know about this from a school mate who went to another country to study. Happy, how did you know about something that’s supposed to be behind-the-scenes?!” They stared at Happy in a dumbfounded manner.
In truth, they also knew about Towering Palace.
It was Happy’s turn to be dumbfounded. ‘These guys... Are they actors? They even managed to fool me.’
“Did you come here with the same goal as Thunderous Battle?” When he thought about it in-depth, Happy’s expression became serious. “If you want to set foot in the cities in the coastal area, you will definitely be infringing upon Towering Palace’s benefits. With how cautious Palace Master Clear Music is, you’ll be forcing her to cooperate with Class One Hall.”
Happy knew very clearly that for at least half a year, the foreigners would not be able to catch up with the Chinese martial artists’ progress even if they did everything they could. In the end, the system will be forced to balance the game.
It slightly increased the EXP absorption rate for foreigners and decreased the difficulty of their quests so that they could catch up to Chinese martial artists. As of current, there was no need to pay too much attention and waste time on foreigners. Besides, doing so would only make them cross paths with Towering Palace.
