Mythological origins

Lin Cheng had imagined that he could have such a flying sword.

However, compared to the civilian colonial suits that could be barely reached by gritting his teeth and were only equivalent to the price of ordinary cars, the flying sword was comparable to a luxury sports car.

Even an entry-level flying sword would cost seven figures of imperial gold, which was more than enough to buy a house in Luoxing City.

With this money, he might as well buy a Xuanji fruit that could allow people to enter the path of transcendence.

In addition to the purchase cost, there are also six-figure annual maintenance and operation costs.

The stronger the weapon, the higher the energy consumption.

Ordinary people are not like high-level transcendents who are comparable to humanoid reactors. They can directly charge their weapons with electricity. If they want to fly with swords to kill enemies and protect themselves, they have to spend money to charge.

Every sword costs money.

If the enemy bleeds after one sword, you pay.

The middle and upper-level flying swords are only circulated in the circle of transcendents in the empire. Not to mention the price, without the corresponding proof of strength, they cannot be bought.

Of course, it is also worth the money. Ordinary people can use entry-level flying swords to easily kill extraordinary people who are no more than level 20.

Even if the opponent is level 29, he can fight evenly before the energy bar is used up.

Kryptonian warriors are so confident.

In terms of attack, the flying sword is roughly equivalent to a handheld intelligent and reusable micro-missile.

As for protection, the psychic shield that comes with the sword body is enough to withstand most gun attacks.

The only problem is that the flying sword cannot defend when attacking, and cannot attack when defending.

Unless you buy another one.

It is precisely because ordinary people can use equipment such as flying swords and colonial suits that extraordinary people below the third level do not have much special status in the empire except that they live longer.

Only when you reach the third level, complete the first transformation of the essence of life, and have your own life field, the extraordinary power begins to overwhelm most conventional individual weapons.

After all, status is brought by power, not life.

As long as you are strong enough, even if you have to die in ten years, everyone will be respectful when you are alive.

The average life span of a first-level extraordinary person is only 200 years, which is only a few decades longer than that of an ordinary person in the empire.

The second-level person has a life span of 300 years, which means he can live a hundred years longer.

…

"Coach A, level 25."

"I feel... have we come to the wrong map?" Looking at the level of the NPC in front of him, Shen Yi felt a little tired.

Just now, the NPC named Lin Cheng, who didn't know what was wrong, actually asked them if they wanted to go to the martial arts hall in the city after Hua Tiangang said that he wanted to find a strong man.

The players were all those who watched the excitement and didn't mind the big things, not to mention that everyone was really curious about this new map, so they followed them in a swarm.

As a result... they found that even an unnamed NPC could kill all of them in seconds.

"Are you here to learn boxing?" Coach A, who greeted the players in the Baiyun Boxing Gym, was a burly man in a black training suit.

The man was two meters tall, a whole head taller than the players, and looked quite oppressive.

A fist was half the size of a normal person's head.

The players had no doubt that the big man could knock them out with one punch.

The big man didn't look at Lin Cheng, who was leading the way. He was obviously an ordinary person, not the target of teaching in the extraordinary martial arts gym like Baiyun Boxing Gym.

Behind him followed a group of noisy and ignorant guys. They all had some power seeds, but most of them were just like that. They looked like the children of a group of rich country people.

They spent money to lay a foundation, but lacked follow-up guidance. They came to the martial arts gym to spend money to find a way.     They are their favorite customers.

They have some money at home, but they don't have much knowledge about extraordinary power.

"..."

"I'm too lazy to pick a name, Coach A, can you be a little more perfunctory..."

"It's not the pretty front desk lady..."

"Muscles are beauty!"

"He's not charming at all."

"..."

"Any nameless passerby is level 25, and we're only level 10. How can we play this map? Do we have to rely on talking?"

"The game jumps directly to Chapter 4. Isn't it normal for passersby to be level 25?"

"If we finish the activities in Chapters 1, 2, and 3, we will definitely be more than level 25."

"How do you know... are you a dog of the system?"

" ..."

"Look at the tips on the storage bar. The game coins you sign in with can be exchanged for the Empire gold in the dungeon world at a ratio of one to one hundred!"

"Sign in every day to get five game coins, that's five hundred gold, what can you do with that? Look at the fees of this martial arts school... ordinary coaches charge one thousand gold per lesson!"

"There are also senior coaches, platinum coaches, and gym owners..."

"The gym owner charges ten thousand gold per lesson, amazing."

...

The big man in black pretended not to hear the people's pointing and talking. He has been doing this kind of work in the martial arts school for many years and has long been accustomed to all kinds of strange customers.

No matter what he heard, he had a blank expression and pretended not to hear it.

Neither humble nor arrogant.

Customers cannot be offended, but the reputation of their own martial arts school cannot be ruined.

Most of the so-called extraordinary martial arts schools in the empire are just training centers that sell services. Their roles are not much different from those of coaches in gyms.

Since hundreds of years ago, in order to promote their own ideas to the greatest extent and grab more good seedlings, all major schools have already distributed low- and medium-level cultivation knowledge and techniques on the Internet for free.

Thousands of techniques can be downloaded for free on the official websites of various schools.

There are trillions of people in the empire. It would take more manpower and material resources for the schools to actively discover excellent talents.

There are countless geniuses in the folks, who can test them all?

Relying on the circle of acquaintances will only become a game of relationships in the end, and all geniuses outside the circle will be cheapened by others.

It is better to open up all the low- and medium-level things, and anyone who wants to learn can try it by themselves. Those who can learn by themselves with a free tutorial are naturally qualified and can participate in the re-examination organized by the mountain gate.

As for the temperament, you can slowly choose. The aptitude and understanding have already screened out most people. If the temperament is not suitable, it’s no big deal to refuse. The sect has not invested a dime in the training cost, and all geniuses are self-made.

After all, resources cost money, but knowledge replication does not cost money.

This not only greatly reduces the cost of screening, but also greatly expands the scope of screening.

Of course, not everyone agrees with this way of selecting disciples. There are still some schools that adhere to the ancient method and believe that the method should not be passed on lightly, but under the impact of the wave of free Internet skills, most of them have been ruthlessly drowned.

No matter how hard a master works and how busy he is for his whole life, how many younger disciples can he pick?

The scope of selection is basically limited to a person's small social circle.

How big can the sample be? A few hundred people at most.
