Martial Arts: I Have Diligence Reward System

A Jiangyuan Country internet cafe.

Xue Pinghai had been slashing away in ”Greedy Blue Moon” from morning till late at night, his eyes were bloodshot from chopping down 27 greasy senior sisters who finally logged off.

He munched on bread, drank cola, and added some spicy hot-dog sticks, feeling almost like he was about to fly from pleasure.

How many years has it been? In this moment, he seemed to have returned to his spirited days of yore.

The virtual world was simply another paradise.

”Old Xue, I’m tired of playing, there’s still some research in Divine Land, logging off first, bye-bye!”

This was a message from Yan Dongyan.

”Go sleep, garbage.”

Xue Pinghai scratched his itchy toe.

”Don’t suddenly die in the internet cafe, otherwise you’ll trouble the net cafe owner. Log off early and sleep, let’s go slash Zhazha Hui when there’s a chance.”

Yan Dongyan’s message flashed again.

”I wonder how Su Yue’s counter-charging is going, hopefully he’s not dead, or it’d really burden Jiangyuan Country.”

Xue Pinghai finally couldn’t hold back his question.

In fact, he had been worrying about this matter, but dared not return to Jiangwu to watch.

He feared the Jiangyuan Country officials would kill him.

”He’s fine, not dead, and not badly injured either.

”Su Yue counter-charged 1500 times; he’s given up and returned to his dorm to sleep, you can rest assured.

”But unfortunately, the slaughter of the Grandmaster Chain didn’t succeed.”

Yan Dongyan’s message came through.

”How do you know Su Yue counter-charged 1500 times?”

In front of the screen, Xue Pinghai was dumbfounded.

”Intelligence!”

Yan Dongyan’s message had only two words.

Short, yet filled with a strong sense of confidence.

Seeing the message, Xue Pinghai threw his mouse.

Damn.

The intelligence system of Divine Land was still terrifying.

When he himself was clueless, Yan Dongyan already knew everything clearly.

The key is that he’s only two kilometers from Jiangwu, whereas Yan Dongyan is one hell of a distance away.

Xue Pinghai felt a little depressed.

Am I supposed to express shock directly, or go through the motions first?

”Got it.”

After a few seconds of consideration, Xue Pinghai calmly replied, then logged off directly.

Divine Land Research Institute.

Yan Dongyan also logged off directly.

He was in a bad mood today, hence he took a breather for half a day; he wouldn’t have time to log into the game for a long time after this.

Actually, the number of 1500 counter-charges was something Yan Dongyan threw out casually to fool Xue Pinghai.

There was no actual intelligence; even Su Yue hadn’t said anything himself, how could anyone else know?

But Yan Dongyan wasn’t speaking nonsense.

1500 times was an estimate of the limit based on Su Yue’s physical state.

But Su Yue indeed went back to sleep, that was the intelligence.

It’s good that Su Yue gave up; though the middle-pressure fighting strategy failed, the experience from this training would benefit Su Yue immensely.

”Is the Armor Department working themselves to death?”

It was already midnight, yet the floors of the Armor Department were still brightly lit, with all the researchers bustling about.

This state was even scarier than the 996 system of the Weapons Department.

Yan Dongyan sighed.

Although he was annoyed by the Armor Department, the Rimevine Armor was a groundbreaking invention, increasing warriors’ survival rates, which was a good thing.

Jiangyuan Country internet cafe.

Creek.

Standing up, Xue Pinghai twisted his neck; after sitting still for so long, his bones felt a bit stiff.

It’s good that Su Yue went back to sleep.

Failure is just failure; over ten years, Xue Pinghai had long lost faith in the slaughter of the Grandmaster Chain.

”Sir, your member account is still logged in?”

As Xue Pinghai left the internet cafe, a greasy-haired young man reminded him.

This was a net cafe’s sleeper-hitcher.

”Go play, there’s still 5000 bucks in there. Top up 5000 and get 5000 bonus; there should still be over 9000 left.”

Shaking his head, Xue Pinghai leisurely left the internet cafe.

If nothing unexpected happens, he probably won’t ever come back to such a place.

One time is enough for nostalgia.

”Damn, my old man is still my old man, truly hardcore.”

The young man hurriedly sat in Xue Pinghai’s seat.

He sacredly rubbed his hands together, first picking up the half-bottle of mineral water left behind, drank it all up with big gulps.

Then, the young man skillfully opened a video website and searched for the Jiangyuan News Channel.

Mhm.

Satisfying.

Lying back on the net cafe’s chair, watching the Jiangyuan news broadcast, this was enjoyment.

It’s late at night now, Jiangwu City’s streets were especially deserted, and Xue Pinghai felt a bit chilled in his thin clothes.

He left the internet cafe, walking alone on the street, suddenly clueless about where he should go!

His lab had been requisitioned, his only home was gone.

The streets were empty, with no direction.

Unknowingly, Xue Pinghai found himself in front of the Wet Ghost Tower of Jiangwu City.

The cold streets, yet the Wet Ghost Tower held some liveliness.

The National Guardian Master Team was guarding the entrance, and not far away was the Wei Yuan Corps camp of Divine Land; whenever conflict arose, the Wei Yuan Corps would come to aid, but usually, they didn’t guard.

In Jiangwu City, due to the radar guards, there were few people from the National Guardian Master Team present.

Though it was late at night, warrior teams still trickled in and out of the Wet Ghost Tower, some covered in blood, some barely alive, some even on makeshift stretchers.

These warrior teams consisted of retired warriors, Jiangwu students, warriors employed by certain corporations, and even some fugitive warriors from fallen countries.

The five alliance countries strictly controlled refugees, so small countries like Jiangyuan Country became their place to survive.

They ventured into the damp realm to complete herbal gathering missions for monetary rewards.

The Jiangyuan Country government wasn’t affluent, if the warriors wanted a good life, they had no choice but to risk their lives in the damp realm.
