Chapter 1: Stormy Chapter 43: One Month
"In the virtual world, our bodies won't get tired. For example, in real life, if you practice archery, you'd be considered a professional if you could shoot hundreds of arrows a day. In the virtual world, we can shoot tens of thousands of arrows in a row without getting tired. We can also create various live targets such as bandits and wild beasts, and even create 'assassins' to attack us, so we can shoot arrows back at close range. With a large number of repetitions, our archery skills will naturally improve rapidly."
"The same goes for spearmanship, swordmanship... any kind of moves. If you practice them tirelessly thousands of times a day, and the virtual world also has a variety of perfect training environments, you can improve very quickly. In one day in the virtual world, our growth rate will be dozens of times faster than in reality! In one month, it is enough to match the progress of several years in reality. If you are a genius... it is enough to climb to the world's top level!"
"The virtual world is an opportunity to change our destiny!"
…
"In the virtual world, there will be no injuries or fatigue! If you don't fight now, when will you fight?"
…
"Want to increase your income? Change your destiny? Seize this rare opportunity in the virtual world! You must be ruthless enough to yourself! Even if you train yourself to death, you won't die anyway!"
…
"It's the old time now, 10 o'clock in the evening. Come practice swordplay with me, Lao Li. Let's practice stabbing first, stabbing 10,000 times!"
On the viewing platform, many hosts in the "chicken soup" live broadcast room were shouting, and some hosts were broadcasting their entire training.
There are many people in their own training grounds, playing live broadcasts in small windows while practicing swordplay at the same time.
"Director, we are guiding the people in practicing martial arts in all aspects, and geniuses are beginning to emerge among the people." Director Zhou was watching the situations in many live broadcast rooms, with his secretary reporting the situations.
"With a population of more than one billion, it's normal for some geniuses to appear." Director Zhou said, "You have to work harder. This is a key process in human civilization. We in Xia must seize the opportunity. The White Eagle Federation, Rome, Sakura and other countries will also guide their people at the fastest speed."
"Yes." The secretary responded respectfully, "Director, all major corporate groups have also entered the virtual world, formed teams, and are preparing to participate in the Fire Seed Cup National Competition."
"This is a good thing," said Director Zhou. "It is to make the competition more intense."
The secretary nodded and then left.
Director Zhou looked out the window. It was pitch black outside. It was already late at night and there was no light at all. He could only vaguely hear the sound of waves .
"Where will the fate of mankind go?" Director Zhou looked out the window at the dark night. "The future is unclear. The only thing we can grasp is the present!"
…
Time passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, the virtual world had been open for a month.
August 25th, evening.
Xu Jingming sat on the sofa in the living room, watching the live broadcast room of "Wang Xiangu" on the screen.
"Dear family members, as of 9 o'clock tonight, the virtual world has been officially open for one month ." Wang Xiangu wore a cute rabbit mask and her voice was also very cute. In reality, she was a professional host and later became a popular anchor. In the virtual world, she is still a very popular anchor.
"The fairy has already drawn up the latest version of the Xia Country Master Rankings. The latest version includes 100 god-level masters." Wang Fairy said, "These 100 god-level masters are divided into four major echelons."
"The first echelon includes Liu Hai, Lei Yunfang, and Zhou Yi. The members of the first echelon are absolutely the best! Any other masters of Xia Country would only end up dead in front of these three. You are all very familiar with their information, and there is a lot of information included in the ranking list."
"The second echelon consists of Zhang Qing, Xiong Tianshan, Tie Lianyun, Feng Baiyu, Zhuang Ziyu, Wang Qiao, Yang Yu, Yu Cheng, Wang Yi, Zheng Bailong, Huo Qingshan, and Chang Qingpeng."
"The members of the second echelon have all developed their own perfect moves, which can easily defeat the masters of the third and fourth echelons."
"The third echelon includes Zhao Fan, Zhang Feng... Gao Chong, Xu Jingming... Dong Xu, Teng Ya... Liu Jianfeng, Gu Chong... Heng Fang, Sun Yuting... a total of 21 people! Although the masters of this third echelon have some unique skills, they are still not perfect and have many flaws."
"The fourth echelon includes Wu Sai... Wang Cheng, Yang Qingshuo... Yu Fu, Dai Xiaoqing... Sun Li... a total of sixty-four people. The fourth echelon members are also quite strong, but generally do not have any special skills, which is inferior to the third echelon. However, among the more than three thousand six hundred god-level masters today, the fourth echelon of god-level masters are already very strong to be ranked in the top one hundred."
Wang Xiangu briefly talked about the list, and then began to review it in detail.
Xu Jingming listened and learned about today's god-level masters.
Click!
Suddenly, the courtyard door was pushed open, and Li Miaomiao walked into the living room carrying some vegetables: "Jingming, these are some vegetables grown by my parents, just picked." As he spoke, Li Miaomiao saw the live broadcast on the screen.
Xia country's top players ranking list?
"This Fairy Wang keeps belittling Jingming on the rankings, and Jingming has even fallen to the third tier." Li Miaomiao lightly touched her watch and clicked.
Snapped!
The light curtain was closed.
"Jingming, don't listen to this Wang Xiangu. She's a big liar. Many people think her list is getting more and more fake." Li Miaomiao sat down and said, "Now the ranking description is getting more and more vague, and there are four tiers."
"She put a lot of effort into the list," Xu Jingming said. "The term 'four major echelons' is more appropriate."
"Suitable?" Li Miaomiao was surprised.
"For example, some of the second-tier players are martial arts masters, legendary boxing champions, and archery masters. In the one month in the virtual world, they have all transformed and created their own combat systems and possessed their own unique skills." Xu Jingming said, "Compared to them, I am still a little behind. Although my 'Shadowless Stab' and 'Mountain Breaking' are becoming more and more perfect, these two skills alone cannot form a complete combat system. I really admire them. How did they come up with such powerful skills and form a system!"
"In fact, Gao Chong is also very powerful. He also created three major spear skills, which are more fierce than my moves, but too reckless and easy to reveal flaws." Xu Jingming said, "That's why he stays in the third echelon like me."
Xu Jingming smiled and sighed, "Thinking back, I feel ashamed. When the virtual world was just opened and I defeated Gao Chong, Wang Qiao and others, I thought I would make greater progress and have a greater advantage in the future. But the facts have proved that I am still too immature. Many people have accumulated more knowledge than me, are more talented, and have created systematic and unique skills."
"Being ranked in the third tier shows my true strength, and I am very convinced of it," said Xu Jingming.
After a month in the virtual world, and many god-level battles, I am indeed still inferior.
"At least I'm still in the top 30 in Xia Country. If I work hard, I can still catch up." Xu Jingming said.
Li Miaomiao hugged her boyfriend's arm and said, "Life is full of ups and downs. Only by enduring the pain of the lows can you reap the joy of the highs!"
"Yeah." Xu Jingming nodded.
With the constant support of his girlfriend, Xu Jingming has always been full of fighting spirit.
Suddenly there was a phone call.
Xu Jingming stretched out his hand and lightly tapped, and a man appeared on the light screen in front of him. It was Sun Li.
"Lao Xu." Sun Li greeted with a smile.
"What's the matter? Why are you calling me?" Xu Jingming said with a smile.
"It's like this." Sun Li explained, "Recently, more than one large group has wanted to sign me. For example, Jinpeng Group came to my hometown and visited me in person. I really can't refuse. And I really need to make money. You know, I haven't made much money in all these years. So, Lao Xu, I'm sorry, I have to quit the team."
"Oh." Xu Jingming was silent for a moment, "Have you told Heng Fang and the other three?"
"Please help me pass it on. I have no choice but to make money too." Sun Li said this and hung up the phone.
Xu Jingming sat there, silent.
