As the progress of the game continued, the plot was about to reach its end.
During the first forty minutes, everyone was still focused on developing and exploring the entire map to increase their strength. Even if there were fights, they were all small-scale skirmishes, and the number of people decreased very slowly.
However, as the exploration of the map became faster and the sect quests were continuously completed, the number of players and NPCs who caused trouble increased. Many of the sects at the borders were attacked by evil sects. Some sects had internal conflicts, and some were even destroyed by the evil sects.
At that moment, many players showed their acting skills. With great rewards in front of them, many people fought to be traitors.
This was a two-player mode, and the two players who entered the game might be from different sects. If one was from a righteous sect and the other from an evil sect, it would be a beautiful picture.
After all, if the righteous players became traitors and caused trouble, they could get all the NPCs and become the overlords of the world of martial artists. It would be wonderful.
With this playstyle, the pace of the game was between a normal standalone game and PlayerUnknown's Battleground. It was much faster than a normal standalone game, but slower than PlayerUnknown's Battleground.
This was because all the players in PlayerUnknown's Battleground were enemies, and if the righteous players wanted to kill the righteous players in World of Martial Arts, they had to pay attention to the consequences. They could not attack anywhere. If the bystanders witnessed it, they would be wanted by the righteous sects.
At the top right corner of Zou Zhuo and Old Qin's vision was a notification. [Current Number of Survivors: 43]
There were only 43 people left from the initial 108. Clearly, the number of people who died in the fight between the righteous and evil sects was very high. Some died for unknown reasons, and some died in battles that destroyed their sects.
Every time a sect war broke out, the number of disciples who were dragged into it would decrease at a crazy rate, because once they were at a disadvantage in a sect war, they would be surrounded and attacked by a group of people. They would also suffer from bleeding, being injured, poisoned, and other negative effects. The chances of them escaping were very low.
Of course, if some players had special escaping skills, it would be hard to say.
There were only 43 disciples left from each sect, and Zou Zhuo and Old Qin could not tell how many of them were players.
However, the players who had survived until then were not weak. This was obvious.
At that moment, Zou Zhuo and Old Qin had just returned to Wudang Sect and handed the Seven-colored Flower to the sect leader. The reward was Wudang Sect's high-tier lightness skill, Cloud Ladder, and a lot of medicinal pills.
Zou Zhuo was very optimistic. "Old Qin, why do I feel like we're going to get the chicken dinner?"
Old Qin corrected him, "What do you mean by chicken dinner? We're going to be the leader of Wulin, okay?"
"It's about time. It's time for the Martial Arts Circle Convention." Zou Zhuo checked the time.
Based on the flow of the game, the martial arts tournament and the fight between the righteous and evil paths would be next. It was just like when PlayerUnknown's Battleground entered the final circle. The players who stayed behind were basically all very rich. Of course, there were also players who relied on survival to reach this stage.
…
After completing the missions of the major sects, the Wulin Assembly would be held at the Mount Hua Sect. The leaders of Shaolin, Wudang, and Beggar Sect would speak one by one. Next, they would choose the leader of the Wulin Assembly based on reputation and martial arts.
Zou Zhuo and Old Qin stood in the crowd with the other disciples from the other sects and observed the disciples who had survived.
Emei Sect was closer to Heavenly Dragon Cult, so they were the first to bear the brunt of the attack. The consecutive battles had greatly damaged Emei Sect, and they only had one disciple left. Tang Sect had four disciples left. Zou Zhuo knew that one of them was called Tang Xiao, and he should be very strong, because he often appeared in the world of martial arts. There was a high possibility that he would be a strong rival for the position of alliance master. There were also Beggar Sect, Carefree Sect, Mount Hua, Eight Trigrams Sect, Hidden Sword Mountain Villa, and other sects. All of them had one or two outstanding players, such as Ren Jianfei from Hidden Sword Mountain Villa.
They were all names that often appeared in the world of martial arts. Next, the disciples from each sect would choose the top six to fight against each other based on their reputation. Everyone would be at full health during the fight, and they were not allowed to use potions, poisons, or other items. There was a time limit of thirty seconds for each fight. When the time was up, the one with the most health would win.
In other words, during the previous game time, players would accumulate reputation based on their actions when they walked the martial arts world. Only when their reputation reached a certain level would they be recognized by all the righteous people.
After the first person was decided, the leaders of Shaolin, Wudang, and Beggar Sect would be chosen for a final duel. Only if they won would they become the leader of the martial arts world. If they lost, the NPC would automatically choose the abbot of Shaolin Sect as the leader of the martial arts world.
Old Qin and Zou Zhuo were both chosen. One was ranked fourth, and the other was ranked second. The first in line was Ren Jianfei from Hidden Sword Mountain Villa. He had defeated more than ten martial artists in Leshan and obtained the Mercy Sword. His reputation was indeed higher than Old Qin and Zou Zhuo's.
Zou Zhuo said, "Come on, bald donkey. When we meet, I won't show any mercy. Hmph."
Old Qin said, "Try calling me bald donkey again. Do you believe that I won't beat you to death with my bald head?"
The duel progressed very quickly. Because the use of tools was not allowed, it was a battle of character attributes and the player's skills. Old Qin's character was already very strong. He had already obtained Yi Jinjing, Buddha's Palm, and drunken rod. Coupled with his skills, he turned the tables and defeated Zou Zhuo.
Although Ren Jianfei was famous, he was not that strong. Although his sword and swordsmanship were good, his internal strength was obviously much worse than Old Qin's. He was defeated by Old Qin's drunken rod.
Zou Zhuo complained, "Report, Abbot of Shaolin, I want to report you! Your disciple has broken the prohibition of drinking! Otherwise, how could he have become a drunken rod?? "
Old Qin said, "… Shut up!"
After that, Old Qin chose to challenge the leader of Beggar Sect. The martial arts of these two people were both hard and fierce, and their strength was similar. However, Old Qin's control was not just for show. He actually managed to establish a significant HP advantage, and in the end, he successfully obtained the throne of Wulin's Master.
"Good fight, as expected of a young hero!"
"Hahaha, even an old beggar like me is no match for you. I'm convinced!"
The NPC's 360 degrees of praise made Old Qin feel smug. After all, to be able to obtain the title of the martial arts world's leader in front of so many NPCs, and there were many hidden players, made Old Qin feel very good.
Old Qin's character automatically went to the center of the square, "If that's the case, let's get rid of the evil and defend the righteous. We'll attack Sky Dragon, Shifting Flower, and Five Poisons, and return peace to the Chinese world of martial arts!"
…
Old Qin and Zou Zhuo came out of the gaming cabin with a little excitement on their faces.
Old Qin stretched, "Wow, I got the title of the martial arts world's leader in my first game, and I even led the righteous faction to victory. I'm a genius. This time, no one will spam 'shame' again, right? "
Zou Zhuo said, "Humph, it's all because of my good support! Tell me, if it wasn't for me, would you have become the leader? "
Old Qin thought back to the previous battle, "The battle at the end was really exciting, and there was a traitor on our side. I was almost tricked by him. Thank goodness I had a lot of potions."
Zou Zhuo nodded, "Yes, but it was still quite dangerous now that I think about it. The three evil sects fought on their own, and it was obvious that it was too late to choose the overlord of the martial arts world. Our righteous alliance had already destroyed Five Poisons before Shifting Flower Palace and Sky Dragon remembered to work together. If the three evil sects had reacted a little faster, the outcome would have been really hard to say. "
Old Qin said, "It's already been two hours since I wasn't paying attention. I don't feel anything, the pace is pretty fast … I don't think I've had enough yet. My Yi Jin Jing, Buddha's Palm, Drunken Rod! I don't know if I'll be able to get these martial arts next time … "
"Then another round?" Zou Zhuo asked.
"Another round!"
The two of them went back into the VR gaming cabin.
…
…
Among the players who tried out World of Martial Arts, a large number of them were martial arts fans, and all of them were in a frenzy.
The difference between this game and traditional standalone martial arts games was that it had multiple players. Each player's choice could affect the direction of the entire world, and the final outcome was the result of all the players working together.
World of Martial Arts was also very different from other MMORPGs. Since there were a lot of players in MMORPGs, the players could only play as small fries, such as the disciples of certain sects, sect leaders, and the masters of the martial arts world were all played by specific NPCs. Although the players could affect the entire game world, they were usually limited to a certain framework.
In World of Martial Arts, the players could freely play the game according to their own will, and they could even become the masters of the martial arts world. It had to be said that becoming the master of the martial arts world and unifying the world was something that could not be experienced in traditional MMORPGs.
Moreover, this game provided different choices for different players. They could lie low, they could be brave, and they could also be very sinister and calculative. The direction of the script for each round would be completely different, and it became a game that could be replayed.
In fact, to the players, this game was even more newbie friendly than PlayerUnknown's Battleground.
There were more than one hundred disciples from various sects in World of Martial Arts, and there were only twenty-four players. In the early stages of the game, the players basically had an advantage when they fought against the NPCs. They could basically get some martial arts or medicine, and there were very few situations where they would be turned into crates the moment they landed.
Through a good matchmaking system, players who were of similar skill levels would be grouped together, and to a normal player, the chances of becoming the master of the martial arts world would be greatly increased. Sometimes, they just needed some correct decisions and a little bit of luck.
