Chapter 140. 500,000 Points

     Xiao Fang and Ye Mo talked about the martial arts leader for the entire lunch break. This was the longest and most confident conversation she had with her new boss, more than all the previous ones combined.

     Even after the lunch break, she still felt unsatisfied.

     Seeing Ye Mo walking towards the laboratory, Xiaofang childishly made a very middle school “Oh Yeah” gesture.

     She trotted back to her desk. She had logged into WeChat on her computer and was typing away on the keyboard, sharing with her former colleagues the process of communicating with her boss Ye Mo.

   【Everyone, I didn’t expect that Supervisor Mo also watched the Martial Arts Leader. I don’t know which sect she supports. I think it’s Kongtong Sect. The leader of Kongtong Sect is the only woman. She is not an elder, but the leader. Moreover, the weapons of Kongtong Sect are small and exquisite. fans, crescent shovels, and double hooks, all quite suitable for women. 】

   【The Kongtong Sect was founded by Feihongzi of the Tang Dynasty, supposedly inspired by the Dunhuang murals. Their martial arts footwork is ethereal, like a dance. However, the aloof Supervisor Mo doesn’t seem like the type to use retreat as an advance, or rely on small weapons or even hidden weapons for surprise attacks. Her temperament is more suited to transcendent swordplay, or a horsetail whisk, floating like an immortal. The Qingcheng Sect and Emei Sect are both good choices, and Kunlun and Wudang would also work. 】

   【I’m getting vivid images! I always thought Tai Chi and Tai Chi swordplay were just something grandmas and grandpas did in the park, but watching the Wudang senior brothers and sisters, I finally understand what true ‘using softness to overcome hardness’ means. One word: Awesome!】

   【I still prefer the Shaolin Sect. Their fist techniques are too domineering, the Vajra stance is so cool, and their footwork – those are feet trained in the deep mountains and forests, truly as swift as the wind! Makes you wonder, do they see the annual Olympic track and field events as just child’s play?】

   【They all say Asia has no flying men, that yellow people are naturally inferior to black and white people in track and field events. That’s because they haven’t competed against our martial arts sect disciples. If they went, they could all win gold medals. 】

   【You’re changing the subject again! I don’t know which martial arts sect Supervisor Mo supports, but my silly Fang, did you just reveal to your boss your plan to resign immediately if you receive a sect invitation?】

   【Baby Fang, you’re still in your probation period, your new department’s fate is still in Supervisor Mo’s hands…】

     The confused Xiao Fang lay on the keyboard and wailed: “Oh my God!!! Can I take back the words I just said?”

     …

     Ye Mo didn’t know the entanglement and regret of her assistant. Maybe the bored Hawkeye knew part of it. It couldn’t read too many Chinese characters. She was now focusing all her energy on work.

     She stayed in Yunnan Province for about 9 days, and Maria’s store promised two weeks, that is, 12 days.

     3 days left.

     Even though Ye Mo was busy in the last few nights in Yunnan Province, the remaining work was still heavy, so she was stuck in the laboratory for a very long time in hot forging, warm forging, roll forging, wedge cross rolling, liquid die forging, quenching heat treatment and other processing processes.

     To this end, she actually set up a spatial array point in her company office, making it convenient to return home for the next and subsequent steps, saving daytime hours, so she spent even more time in the laboratory.

     It was not difficult for assistant Xiao Fang to find that her boss was obviously more enthusiastic about the laboratory than the Martial Arts conference.

     “…”

     What made her unbelievable was that there were actually Chinese people in this world who could resist the charm of the martial arts leader!

     Even foreigners couldn’t resist it.

     Currently, video clips from the Martial Arts Alliance Leader have become the most viewed, liked, commented on, and controversial videos on foreign websites, second only to giant panda videos. The idea that ‘all Chinese know kung fu’ is something that can’t be washed away, even if you jumped into the Yellow River.

     Reportedly, Japan is also trying to imitate and produce shows featuring samurai and ninjas, South Korea has taekwondo shows, Thailand has new Muay Thai shows, Myanmar has Burmese boxing, Britain has swordsman competitions, Russia has free-for-all brawls… 

     There are also many programs with highlights among them, but compared with the many martial arts schools in China, they are still not good enough.

     In short, the whole world is talking about friends with “Martial Arts”.

     …

     On Wednesday night, Ye Mo finally refined the second batch of goods in Maria’s shop. The orders from the Supernatural Investigation Bureau are still a few steps away. The alchemy room and the mechanism room are still under renovation.

     Log in to the survivor forum.

     The most discussed topic in recent days is the exploration and speculation of real copies. The haunted castle in the UK is a typical case.

     There are many ghost stories about old castles in the UK. It is said that two real copies were triggered, and the two copies were too close to each other, and a wonderful linkage reaction was produced.

     The fight between survivors and the ghosts is no longer the main focus, the ghosts are also fighting among themselves, like Voldemort and the Bull Demon King going at it. This has led to an increase in British citizens seeing the ghost’s shadows, and also an increase in British citizens being affected, injured, and even killed.

     The crossover between the two copies has caused personnel and economic losses in the gathering area near the castle, but it has also lowered the difficulty of the dungeon, as the ghosts have inflicted heavy losses on each other. The castle in this dungeon has basically returned to normal.

     The British government no longer hypes many places as international tourist attractions as before. They have solved this matter in a very low-key manner, and even did not notify British citizens.

     A certain blockade was also imposed.

     It seems there are many talented people among the survivors. Based on the history of the two castle ruins, they actually unearthed Tristan, one of the Twelve Knights, and Iseult, the Irish princess.

     Ye Mo searched the system store again for artifacts from Arthurian legend, such as Excalibur, the Holy Grail, and the Sword of Vengeance. Excalibur was already showing as unavailable, but Holy Grail and other artifacts were still available.

     Real King Arthur Merlin Legendary Copy? It is unknown whether the sword of the king can fall into the pocket of the survivor Arthur.

     Furthermore, the Yunnan copy in China is a typical example.

     The survivors have already deduced that it’s the Miao village. There are even news interview videos of the Miao village’s golden nanmu wood in the hot posts, the complete version, where Mo Shenpo appears, and shoe soles are her daily technical work.

     While smiling and answering the reporter’s questions, she uses an awl and silver needles, treating the fabric like the reporter, stabbing it.

     Ye Mo: “…”

     The survivors are very clever. Based on the Miao village, they can immediately guess the legends of the Miao region. Some foreign survivors are a bit confused, but they do know how to look up information and hire translators.

     So the three major evil arts in Asia squeezed into the hot post.

     At the same time as the hot post, there are also Chinese horror films and martial arts dramas, which include the Miao village, especially those involving Miao Gu and corpse-driving techniques. It has to be said that old Hong Kong films are more popular.

     Gu techniques involve cultivating a ‘king’ from a variety of poisonous insects, using the king to control people; corpse driving techniques, mainly found in Xiangxi, but potentially also in the Miao villages of Yunnan, allow them to control zombies.

     Foreign survivors react to gu techniques with varying degrees of disgust, fear, or excitement, while their reaction to corpse driving techniques…

     Some compare zombies to vampires.

     Yes, vampires.

     It was at this moment that Ye Mo learned that a vampire copy was released in the second round of internal testing in Western countries, and some survivors successfully passed the initial commission and became vampires.

     They hope to gain the ability of immortality, or vampire strength.

     Result

     ——Many people are useless.

     Because the toxins invade the vampires’ brains, completely turning them into 0th-order vampires without soul energy, equivalent to the zombies in the Doomsday Supermarket instance, except they don’t eat meat, but kill and drink blood based on their physical instincts.

     Positive spiritual energy can temporarily suppress the toxins.

     The vampires who can advance are all very rare dark-type superpowers. The other survivors not only cannot have the dream of immortality or vampire abilities, but have been struggling with toxins.

     The method of killing vampires is different from that of zombies, breaking their heads.

     The mortality rate of this vampire copy is very high. Many people died of toxins. The remaining people relied on spirit stones and dark-type physiques to resist to the end. After leaving the instance, some gain vampire constitutions, and some don’t.

     Those who don’t are cheering.

     Some are still happy, after all, due to their special constitutions. The rest are those who voluntarily became the first thralls in the instances. They may not be happy, as it means they will continue to struggle with the vampire toxin.

     Fortunately, the system store has an antidote for the vampire toxin. Since it’s not a common potion, the points required are quite high, but they still have hope for relief. This tells them that they must not act rashly.

     Because these people are very prone to emotional instability and even becoming twisted in extreme situations, cases of civilians with vampire toxin have appeared in some countries, and not just one or two cases.

     Ye Mo: “…”

     This world is becoming less and less scientific, and there may be more and more strange creatures.

     …

     Ye Mo opened Maria’s shop post, and it was filled with check-in posts. Everyone was waiting for weapons!

     Although other secondary jobs had appeared in the forum, such as intelligence, potions, talismans, and weapons, compared to Maria’s shop, these weapons were of lower grade, had limited attribute choices, and unknown quality.

     They could be bought, but not in large quantities.

     The surviving survivors all understand the difference between mid-tier and high-tier weapons. If they have the means, of course they’ll choose mid-tier.

     Ye Mo posted the product listings as usual and pinned them to the top.

     This time, the products included 7 storage spaces, still 50 cubic meters and 30 cubic meters. Among the magical items, there were some one-size-fits-all defensive garments. These were obtained from the Miao village. The embroidery was similar to weapon inlaying. If handled well, it offered a different approach

     There are many more weapons than the first wave, after all, there is enough money.

     As soon as Ye Mo posted, the first people to send her private messages were not her friends, but the survivors who couldn’t wait. They took out the carnival of the shopping festival and sent her private messages quickly. They must buy weapons that suit their taste before the big guys buy them in a group.

     After selling seven or eight weapons and earning more than 7,000 points, she met the first group, which was one of the customers who didn’t buy the storage space last time.

     The first big order appeared, with nearly 90,000 points.

     Maria’s shop was still bustling. From 9 PM to 10:30 PM, Ye Mo finally finished her customer service work. It wasn’t because the shop was sold out (there were still two storage spaces, many magical items, and mid-to-low-tier weapons left), but because she was a little tired from explaining things to others.

     Currently, including the remaining items from before, Ye Mo’s points have exceeded 500,000. After resting for a night, she’ll continue to fulfill the Supernatural Investigation Bureau’s orders.
