After assigning the task, the group arrived at the entrance of Wudang Sect.
The building of Wudang Sect was not complicated. They could get horses at the entrance and quickly ride to various locations.
None of the Wudang disciples made any special movements. Instead, they all got on their horses and went in different directions.
Zou Zhuo also got on a horse and chose a direction where no one went. He secretly observed where the Wudang disciples went while chatting with Old Qin.
"How is it, Old Qin? Is there any task at Shaolin?"
"Three sutras were stolen from the Sutra Library. They want us to find them. They said that as long as we find them, they will teach us high-level cultivation methods."
"We are about the same. We need to find herbs for the sect leader." Zou Zhuo said while riding, "Should we meet up first and discuss our strategy?"
Old Qin hesitated. "Okay. Luoyang is a little north between Wudang and Shaolin. Let's go and find a room in an inn. "
After making up their minds, the two of them rode to Luoyang.
Zou Zhuo looked back as he rode, afraid that someone would catch up.
Logically speaking, as fellow disciples of Wudang Sect, they should be working together. Zou Zhuo's first reaction was to look for other Wudang Sect disciples to team up. However, when he saw everyone getting on their horses and leaving, Zou Zhuo suddenly understood something.
It was … teaming up with fellow disciples was not necessarily a good strategy.
Among the nine Wudang disciples, only one was a real player. Moreover, whether it was a player or an NPC, the relationship between fellow disciples was the same. It was no different from the disciples of other righteous sects!
Zou Zhuo teamed up with a Wudang disciple, or a Shaolin or Huashan disciple would have the same effect.
Because in the end, there was only one Wulin Master. If he teamed up with another Wudang disciple, he would run into the following problems:
How should he split the good stuff? For example, if he got a martial art manual, only one person could learn it.
What should he do when he disagreed? For example, if he saw an evil sect, one wanted to fight them, but the other felt that it was better not to provoke them.
If he took something good, wouldn't his brother be ruthless enough to kill him?
Moreover, this was a two-man team. Zou Zhuo had a Shaolin teammate, Old Qin, while the other Wudang disciple would most likely have a teammate from another sect. What if the two of them ambushed Zou Zhuo together?
If one thought about it carefully, they would realize that in such a situation where they could not communicate with other players through voice chat, the chain of suspicion between players would be infinitely magnified. The benefits of working with the barbarians would be greatly reduced, and the risks would be much higher. For Zou Zhuo, the person he trusted the most was his teammate, Old Qin, and the others could be traitors.
What's more, actively looking for people to form a party with more people was more likely to attract attention and be targeted by other players. They might even be ambushed and die without even knowing how they died.
Therefore, when the situation was unclear, most players' first reaction was to leave these strangers and meet up with their teammates in real life.
It was precisely because of this that Zou Zhuo became very cautious when he met Old Qin.
If a Shaolin Temple disciple and a Wudang Sect disciple walked together, it would be very easy for others to recognize them as two players. Although NPCs would occasionally engage in such behavior, it was clear that the probability of players engaging in such behavior was much higher. Hence, there was still a high risk in doing so.
After entering Luoyang City, Zou Zhuo went straight to the inn.
Even the operating system for riding horses would automatically correct itself. Zou Zhuo could only ride on the main road and could not run into any pedestrians. This was mainly to prevent certain actions from exposing himself to other players.
Of course, if you really wanted to die, the system would not stop you.
After entering the first floor of the inn, Zou Zhuo glanced around. There were no martial artists wearing sect uniforms, so he was directly led by the waiter to the second floor and saw Old Qin.
As soon as he saw Old Qin, Zou Zhuo almost burst out laughing.
He was a young and handsome monk wearing a kasaya. His scalp was shiny, and his weapon was a long staff.
Old Qin squinted. "What are you looking at? You better not laugh out loud, or else I'll laugh at you the next time you get randomly sent to the Shifting Flower Palace! "
Zou Zhuo coughed twice. "Alright, I won't laugh. Let's think about what we should do next. I feel like time is quite tight. "
Although the two of them were still confused, they had a basic understanding of the game's gameplay.
The core rules were actually quite simple. It was to complete various quests, collect fortuitous encounters, increase one's strength, and become the leader of the martial arts world. Then, they would defeat the evil sects and become the final winner.
Under this core rule, you were free to do sneak attacks, plot, or cooperate with others. However, each choice had its pros and cons.
Zou Zhuo scratched his head. "It's only been two hours, and we still want to cooperate? Aren't you thinking too much?"
Old Qin nodded. "Obviously, this game does not encourage cooperation between savages. This is only considered when ambushing a strong enemy. Because time is tight, the map is relatively large, and most of them are NPCs. So, to us, searching for resources first is the most cost-effective. "
Both of them had played PlayerUnknown's Battleground before, so they quickly understood this point.
There were all sorts of resources on a map that was similar in size to PlayerUnknown's Battleground. Even though there were more than a hundred disciples from various sects, there were only twenty-four players. This meant that players would not run into other players during the early stages of the game, unless everyone went to some popular spots.
If that was the case, then searching for resources to increase their strength was the best choice. Just like in PlayerUnknown's Battleground, four people searching three to four rooms was definitely not as good as one person eating alone.
Once they made up their minds, the two of them decided to go to Dullard Village outside Luoyang to take a look.
In truth, the two of them had many better choices, such as searching for herbs for the Wudang Sect Leader at Heaven Mountain, searching for Shaolin Temple's lost scriptures in Hangzhou, and so on. But when Zou Zhuo and Old Qin thought about it, they felt that this place was similar to P City and Sosnovka Military Base. There would definitely be a lot of people fighting for resources, and they would not be able to gain any advantage.
After all, PlayerUnknown's Battleground was an FPS game. If you were good, you could clear out the entire Sosnovka Military Base. But World of Martial Arts was a battle system, and if a bunch of people fought, you might not be able to survive …
The two of them split up and rode out of Luoyang. Then, they rushed to Dullard Village one after the other.
There were a lot of people in Luoyang, so they had to conceal themselves a little, but there was no need to be so particular when they were running in the wild. If they split up the entire time, they might really die if they ran into a lot of people.
In the end, while the two of them were still on their way, they saw a new message appear at the top right corner of their field of vision.
[Wudang Sect Disciple Zhuo Feifan has killed his junior brother and is currently on the run. Fellow swordsmen, please help Wudang Sect clean up their sect!]
At the same time, the number 108 jumped and became 107.
