Chapter 262: Chapter 262

B3 level Mithril can easily be made into B4 level alloy with some additional materials, and if some cost is incurred, making B5 level alloy is also possible. With these B4 and B5 level alloys, the city can produce a large number of B4 and B5 level battle armors and a large quantity of B4 and B5 level weapons, which are crucial materials for dealing with monster waves.

Therefore, any discovery of such a primordial ore vein is something each major city will undoubtedly compete to obtain.

If it’s really like Ten Thousand Stars City came to steal the ore, then it’s not as serious as imagined, as they have a hold over Ten Thousand Stars City.

With this hold, Ten Thousand Stars City wouldn’t dare to act too drastically.

"Of course, I’m certain. Otherwise, why do you think I’m so calm?" Lin Qi laughed.

Initially, he was also shocked, thinking these players had caused a huge trouble that would make Ten Thousand Stars City go all out. However, upon hearing it was Death Valley, he understood everything.

On the tattered map obtained from Azure Sky earlier, Death Valley was marked as containing secret silver ore veins. It wasn’t just Death Valley; under the Thorn Forest less than forty kilometers from Ten Thousand Stars City, there were secret silver ore veins, even with much larger reserves than Death Valley, considered a medium-sized vein. However, Ten Thousand Stars City seemed unaware, opting to go the distance instead.

"If that’s the case, then there’s no problem." Meng Wei breathed a sigh of relief and didn’t question Lin Qi about his knowledge of the secret silver ore veins.

As a Deputy Gang Leader with many years in the gang, Meng Wei knew well what to ask and what not to. Every power has its secrets; Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall is no exception. Asking too much could cost one’s life.

In fact, Meng Wei even thought about walking out of this room and forgetting all about the secret silver ore veins.

"By the way, you’ve been quite busy lately and have done a good job." Lin Qi looked at Meng Wei, who wasn’t asking any more questions, and was very satisfied, "I plan to organize a Defense Corps for the Martial Arts Hall, selecting talented individuals from the recruited disciples, initially recruiting five hundred people. The ordinary members’ benefits are equivalent to elite disciples of the Martial Arts Hall; the captain will have core disciple status, and you will be the first captain."

Currently, Red Moon Town has already started construction. Once it becomes a real town, it must have enough strength to protect it. Although players can also guard, their numbers are too small, and their online times are uncertain, making them unsuitable to guard Red Moon Town and the Martial Arts Hall.

Now, the Martial Arts Hall has over ten thousand disciples, fully capable of doing what those city powers do, selecting talented individuals to train a Defense Corps solely for guarding the entire Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall.

"Hall Master, I’m just an Initial Stage Martial Artist. The position of captain doesn’t seem quite suitable; I’ll just be the vice-captain, assisting other stronger disciples in the Martial Arts Hall." Meng Wei, though extremely delighted, considered the importance of the Defense Corps and refused the captain position. Googlᴇ search novelFirｅ.net

In today’s Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, with a Bone Forging Realm expert like Lin Qi, having a captain of the Defense Corps who is just an Initial Stage Martial Artist would only invite underestimation from other forces.

"I don’t have that many rules here. If I say you’re it, then you are." Lin Qi casually picked up a large watermelon from the table. "If you think an Initial Stage Martial Artist is unsuitable, then break through to become a Middle Tier Martial Artist. Eating one-eighth of this Qi Blood Watermelon can increase your Qi and Blood limit by 30% for six hours, which should help you break through to the Middle Tier. The remaining seven portions can be given to selected disciples worth cultivating in the Martial Arts Hall to help them break through and assist you in training the first batch joining the Defense Corps."

Originally, he wanted to wait a bit longer to cultivate Meng Wei, but now that players have brought so many B4 level or higher scrapped battle armors, he plans to strike while the iron is hot and have Meng Wei cultivate a Martial Artist Defense Corps for the Martial Arts Hall. At that time, equipping them with those refurbished B4 level battle armors would be quite impressive in the urban district.

"Increasing Qi and Blood limit by 30%?" Meng Wei was momentarily stunned upon hearing this. He had never heard of such a formidable resource in the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall. He quickly came to his senses, accepting the large watermelon with trembling hands, and said, "Thank you, Hall Master! Meng Wei promises not to disappoint Hall Master and to cultivate a group of the finest Defense Corps disciples for the Martial Arts Hall!"

"Alright, this Qi Blood Watermelon can’t be stored for too long. You should use it quickly." Lin Qi smiled and urged Meng Wei to hurry back for a breakthrough.

For the city outskirts at present, Initial Stage Martial Artists are indeed somewhat insufficient; only Middle Tier Martial Artists can be considered safe.

As Meng Wei left with the large watermelon, Lin Qi thought for a moment, wrote a notice in his work office, and posted it on the notice board in the training area. Simultaneously, he sent a similar notice via the smart watch.

The content of this notice was also simple, concerning the acquisition method of core disciple status, adding a new core disciple assessment; passing the assessment would allow one to become a core disciple even without enough contribution.

Since these players are so restless, he decided to find something for them to do.

The tattered map records a B6 level Rem Titanium ore vein, the nearest one located in the wilderness deep mountains more than five hundred kilometers from Chasing Light City. Earlier, he thought it too dangerous for players to approach.

But now, since both players managed to take down one of Ten Thousand Stars City’s strongholds, going into the wilderness to dig some Rem Titanium ore for repairing battle armors shouldn’t be a difficult task.

After Lin Qi made the announcement, the entire Martial Arts Hall was momentarily shocked by the players.
