Chapter 045: Information

The official special departments couldn’t dedicate all their resources to resettling the wanderers. In Jing City, the government could accommodate a maximum of 1,000 people per day.

That’s why it had never been Yun Xi’s turn.

Martial arts skills were publicly and freely available, but Yun Xi’s physical stats were too low to keep up.

Given that Blue Star was relatively safe at the time, and she didn’t log in frequently, Yun Xi later became preoccupied with her studies and eventually just let it go.

It wasn’t until Blue Star was fully invaded by the Fallen Gods Continent that Yun Xi finally realized: Blue Star was not a constant.

She, like everyone else, was forced to log into the Fallen Gods Continent, just to earn the means to survive.

She lived off rough barley cakes and knobby fruit for a long time, and it wasn’t until she met her master that things began to change, officially starting her journey as a spellcaster.

…

With the announcement, everyone realized that the government had truly done its best.

Spell pattern scrolls were far too expensive. Even if the authorities managed to buy a few using massive resources, due to the “patent contracts,” they couldn’t be freely distributed.

The only option was to train apprentices—have those who had already learned spellcasting personally mentor others. But this couldn’t scale to cover everyone; it simply wasn’t realistic.

So, the government would filter candidates by signing trade contracts with those who had high spiritual attributes and then provide them with focused guidance.

As for martial arts, those were fully open and free, so at least everyone had a fair chance. In this way, the authorities had given the public a clear answer.

At the same time, they urged everyone to start learning martial arts.

Even if one planned to go the spellcasting route, while no spells were available, training in martial arts would at least build strength—a sensible precaution.

By now, most people had turned their attention to the Fallen Gods Continent and eagerly explored it.

But some still refused to take risks, thinking it had nothing to do with them. Blue Star was still safe, after all. As long as they didn’t log in, nothing would harm them.

And martial arts training? That’s tiring. Even if they mastered it, they wouldn’t become superheroes.

Just like before the appearance of the Fallen Gods Continent—soldiers, boxers, mercenaries—even if they transitioned into martial artists, they were still just like anyone else. Nothing magical about it.

Not everyone was willing or able to endure that kind of hardship.

Yun Xi hadn’t expected the Fallen Gods Continent to invade Blue Star in her past life either. So she never really prioritized martial arts training.

Her starting constitution was only 6 points—it wasn’t a matter of lacking willpower, but the official high-intensity training program was simply too much for her. She couldn’t even complete half the program.

Most people were in the same situation. They had the desire, but just lacked the ability.

Ironically, when superpowers became accessible to everyone, society actually became more stable.

During the first two beta tests, only a small group had powers, and some of them developed a superiority complex.

Some morally lacking individuals even thought about committing crimes.

But now, since anyone could log into the Fallen Gods Continent, the risk of crime dropped.

Because you never knew if your next victim was actually a powerful spellcaster, capable of blasting you with a spell that could take your life in an instant.

With the government’s reassurance, wanderers finally had hope. If they wanted to shed their status, the path was now clear.

Those who wanted to improve could learn martial arts. Those who just wanted to stay safe could simply choose not to log in.

That said, accidents still happened, and many people continued to lose their lives each day.

This wasn’t limited to wanderers—official players could die too.

That’s when resurrection charms became vital.

Since system rewards weren’t bound to individuals, resurrection charms could be used on others too.

Soon, various trading platforms began to emerge.

Resources from the Fallen Gods Continent started circulating widely. Copper coins became a new, important currency.

Items like resurrection charms—extremely rare—required a purchase contract. Buyer and seller would each pay 50 copper coins for the contract scroll, ensuring the transaction was legitimate.

Still, resurrection charms remained very scarce. Most people chose to keep them for themselves or their families.

Only in rare cases—like when one urgently needed some other precious item—would someone willingly part with one.

At the same time, many people began noticing commercial opportunities. Because players from Blue Star spawned in different zones on the Fallen Gods Continent, trading between zones became profitable.

The government even endorsed and publicized this trading model after seeing good results.

For example, player A purchases goods at their login location for 60 copper coins, brings them back to Blue Star, and then gives them to player B. Player B logs into a different area and sells the same goods for 100 coins.

That’s a 40-coin profit margin.

A and B split the difference, earning 20 copper coins each—a guaranteed profit with nearly zero risk.

To avoid disputes, they could just sign a partnership contract.

This loophole resulted in many Blue Star players becoming powerful through wealth. So when the Fallen Gods Continent launched its full invasion, they weren’t completely wiped out.

Because the continent didn’t care if your area was a “newbie zone.” The monsters that spawned came in random levels, and they killed on sight, utterly inhuman.

As usual, Yun Xi browsed through the online updates. Then, she organized the key intel that could now be publicly shared and sent it to Chen Nana.

This time, the information she shared focused on sub-classes.

It had been over two months since the first beta began, so knowing this kind of info was normal.

Yun Xi especially highlighted the chef and apothecary sub-classes, stating that Blue Star’s recipes and prescriptions were completely viable.

She had already learned all the publicly available recipes. But she was sure that Hua Nation still kept some rare ones hidden from the public—recipes ordinary players could never learn. The government could research them on its own if it wanted.

Even though, once the Fallen Gods Continent fully invaded, everything on Blue Star would become polluted, making even rare formulas hard to produce… there was still hope. The government might eventually learn the purification spell.

If that happened, those secret formulas would no longer go to waste.

In fact, even if Yun Xi didn’t say anything, the authorities would eventually discover the sub-class system as time passed.

But that might take months.

By bringing it up now, she hoped the government could begin training talent in those areas earlier.

Even though she had no intention of joining the core departments, Hua Nation was still her home. Offering up what information she could was simply the right thing to do.

She also sent over everything else she could think of—any intel worth sharing—to Chen Nana as well.
