Chapter 59 Selecting New Players
"Guys, I need to eat this mouse!"
On the gaming forum, following Run-Knife Mouse's exclamation, over a hundred players began flooding the chat with comments.
Hidden Dragon in the Abyss: "Rat, weren't you still mining? How come you're suddenly eating?"
Flying Dragon in the Sky: "Brother Mouse, tell me in detail what you ate."
Running-Knife Mouse: "Uh, well..."
When the stars of the galaxy shone brightly: "666, I didn't expect this mine to have a second level."
Instantly activated "immortal mode": "It's all for the sake of the mouse; I got lucky."
Run-Knife Rat recounted everything that had happened inside the mine, which amazed Zhou Yi, who was secretly watching.
Simply put, this vein is actually a complex structure. After digging through the thin wall, the mouse discovered that there were other roads inside.
"But how did this little player discover it?"
Zhou Yi raised an eyebrow, deciding to find some time tomorrow to inquire about it properly.
……
The next morning, the sun was shining brightly.
After learning about the plight of the running knife rat, Zhou Yi was both amused and exasperated.
This player is really lucky! They even managed to encounter a treasure-hunting rat while mining.
That's right.
When the rapper handed the little white mouse to Zhou Yi for observation, Zhou Yi immediately recognized its identity.
It is a rare treasure-hunting rat in the cultivation world!
The treasure-hunting rat is pure white with dark green pupils and is exceptionally sensitive to the spiritual energy of treasures, but it is also extremely rare.
I only learned about the Book of Changes because I was interested in learning about the customs and culture of the cultivation world when I first transmigrated, and I found it in various miscellaneous books and classics.
"This treasure-hunting rat can now be considered your partner. Train it well; it might become a great help to you in the future."
Zhou Yi smiled and gently rubbed the white mouse's head before handing it to the running-knife mouse.
After learning the origin of the white mouse, the knife-wielding mouse's face lit up with joy, and its heart was filled with excitement.
The Treasure-Hunting Rat's function is to find treasures, so if I look for treasures in the cultivation world, wouldn't that be equivalent to having X-ray vision?
Thinking of this, the running-knife rat quickly bowed and thanked Zhou Yi:
"Thank you for your guidance, Sect Master. I have benefited greatly from it and will certainly live up to the sect's expectations and cultivate diligently."
Zhou Yi waved his hand, sending the running knife rat away.
He still has a very important problem that needs to be solved.
According to the I Ching, players are not the same as ordinary cultivators; each player should have unique abilities.
Take the Knife-Running Rat for example. Although it is not good at fighting, it may have a unique talent in searching for treasures and finding hidden plots, and it may also bring unexpected help to Zhou Yi.
Moreover, there's an old saying that goes, "Don't put all your eggs in one basket."
The I Ching cannot rely solely on the current top players to support its enormous future demand for luck points.
Therefore, it is imperative to find players with potential among these newcomers.
"The land reclamation in the spirit fields should be almost complete by now. As for mining the veins, since the ore can't be converted into cash in the short term, we can reduce manpower for the time being."
"First, select some promising stocks from these 20 new investors, and then nurture them gradually. Who knows, we might be able to make a fortune in the future."
With this thought in mind, Zhou Yi no longer hesitated and used his methods to gather all 20 new players.
"Hey brother, what do you think the sect leader wanted us to do here?"
"I don't know, but have you noticed... it seems like everyone who came this time is a newcomer, none of the veterans are here. Maybe there are some special perks?"
"Damn, that makes sense!"
Inside the courtyard, the players were buzzing with discussion.
After a moment, Zhou Yi raised his hands and pressed them down, signaling everyone to be quiet.
"Alright everyone, I have gathered you all here today to announce something important."
"It has been more than ten days since you joined the sect, and I have been observing you during this time."
"Overall, I am quite satisfied with your performance as newly initiated disciples."
Zhou Yi smiled slightly and continued:
"Of course, some of the outstanding disciples really caught my eye."
"Furthermore, since the spirit fields and mines do not require many people in the short term, after careful consideration, I have decided to select a group of disciples to carry out other tasks."
As soon as Zhou Yi finished speaking, the entire courtyard was instantly thrown into an uproar.
"What?! We can finally stop farming and mining! The Sect Master is truly wise!"
"Yeah, I also want to be like those pros, exploring the map, killing monsters, earning spirit stones, and picking up girls!"
"Who's that guy up there, picking up girls?"
"You don't understand, do you? The powerful figures from the Hidden Dragon Sect previously strolled through the Red Chamber in Lianyun Market with the Sect Master!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yi's expression immediately turned somewhat unpleasant.
What does it mean to have visited the Dream of the Red Chamber?
He was just passing by.
But business was more important at the moment, and Zhou Yi didn't bother to explain anything, so he directly started the filtering mode.
This time, he plans to select 8 outstanding combat players from 20 players, as well as one outstanding story player like Run Knife Mouse.
As for the rest of the people, they should just go back to mining and farming.
After a series of practical tests, Zhou Yi easily selected eight players with relatively good combat awareness.
The person with the ID "Flying Dragon in the Sky" caught his eye.
Neither his combat awareness nor his grasp of the timing of his attacks suggests that he is a player who has never cultivated immortality.
If we had to explain this situation, there are only two possibilities: either he is exceptionally talented, or he received some special training on Earth.
Although Zhou Yi was curious, he didn't rush to ask and planned to select the story player first.
This type of player is often harder to judge, and Zhou Yi wasn't sure either, so he simply asked Paodaoshushu to recommend someone.
Soon, a player named "Salted Fish Never Turns Over" appeared in front of Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi seemed to have some recollection of this player before; he appeared to frequently post on the forum, claiming to be a story-driven player.
Since things have come to this, there's nothing more to say. Zhou Yi immediately made the decision, confirming the "Salted Fish Can't Turn Over" storyline player qualification.
As for the other 10 players who were not selected, although they were somewhat discouraged, they quickly regained their spirits.
There are 360 professions, and every profession can produce an expert. Who says that farming and mining have no future?
Moreover, these two tasks are not only stable but also low-risk. Perhaps after accumulating an initial batch of sect contributions, they can even overtake others by taking a shortcut.
After the meeting, Zhou Yi kept the eight combat players behind and gave them their first mission.
[Task: A First Try]
[Mission Objective: Cooperate to defeat a monster]
[Number of participants required: 8]
[Task Rewards: Each person can choose any basic spell from the shop, a low-grade Tier 1 magic weapon, and break through to the second level of Qi Refining]
What the heck?
Killing a monster can yield so many rewards; the benefits are just too good!
The eight combat players were all shocked. This batch of resources would require at least 50 sect contribution points to produce.
They've been mining for almost three days, and each of them only averages out to 20 sect contribution points.
Although the players were excited, Zhou Yi didn't care. He didn't lack magical artifacts or cultivation techniques, and as for the luck points that would help them break through, he only had 50 points in total.
These days, the players have brought him a lot of luck points, including the disturbances caused by mining and other production, as well as the disturbances caused by the Sword Immortal's events in Liuye Town.
His current luck value has already reached 100 points.
Using 50 points of luck to quickly support a second batch of powerful players is definitely a profitable deal for him.
After accepting the mission, the group left one after another and quickly began preparations for hunting the monster.
As the strongest among them, Feilong Zaitian naturally became the team leader and took charge of arranging the battle strategy.
"We don't have any powerful magical artifacts right now, and our strength is only at the first level of Qi Refining. If we want to hunt demonic beasts, the safest way is to first select them."
"Actively seek out those who are alone and whose strength is also only at the first level of Qi Refining, and hunt them down."
"In this way, even if we are not strong enough, we have a very high chance of winning if we fight a war of attrition."
Feilong Zaitian's suggestion was concise and powerful, and it quickly gained unanimous approval from everyone.
