Chapter 980: Three Years of Upheaval

During Fang Jie's three years of near-retreat, the entire game world, its players, and the various factions have also undergone earth-shaking changes.

In terms of players, due to the 6th Huashan Sword Conference set off a leveling frenzy, so that three years later, except for the players who have transferred to the life system, all martial arts players have been promoted to the grandmaster level one after another, the difference is only in the number of completed grandmaster evaluations, most players have been at least double grandmasters, a small number of players have reached the three grandmasters, and a very few, or a handful of players, have successfully promoted to the ranks of martial arts grandmasters.

Of course, whether it is a few great masters or martial arts masters, there is also a very big gap between grandmaster players of the same level.

For example, the master of the Star Constellation Sect represented Qinglongzi, this person, with the strong support of Long Xiaotian, spent countless manpower, material and financial resources to finally reluctantly complete the four grandmaster evaluations, and became a martial arts grandmaster with the same status and identity as Fang Jie, but his strength was compared to Fang Jie...... That's a far difference, and this kind of gap, even if Fang Jie's acupuncture point bonus is not counted, still exists.

Another example is Fang Jie's old acquaintance, quasi-martial arts waste nonsense, a year ago he was also successfully promoted to the great master of martial arts, in addition, there are also Wudang's rice scrambled eggs and not simple, the beggars of the beggar gang and the red seven, the Shaolin Temple's Duchen and Duzen, the ancient tomb sect's Duan Hanyun and Bai Ning, Huashan's barbaric willfulness, the blood knife gate's decadent blood and flowing blades, Quanzhenjiao's Tibetan sword ten years, Peach Blossom Island's warm jade, Emei faction's Fenglin, Murong family's Murong Lady, Xiaoyao's Qin Wuxian, chivalrous Nar, Long Lost Chen and Ying Ying Youjia, the remnant sword of the Xingzhu faction, the poisonous lady and Shui Shui of the Five Poisons Sect, Duan Xiaoxian of Dali, the painting rain book hatred of the Qingcheng faction, the stone beam of the Taishan faction, and the Dengzhi of the Great Wheel Temple...... Wait a minute.

As for the Forgetfulness Pavilion, the number of martial arts masters is the largest, in addition to Fang Jie, there are also Forgetfulness, Leaning on the Railing Decaying Grass, Romanzi, Yibei Ding Jiangnan, I want to quit the game, Kite, Quan Qi and others have also become martial arts masters, among which Quan Kui and Kite are the top masters of the rivers and lakes who joined the Forgetful Pavilion later, and have won the championship and runner-up of the four consecutive Forgetful Pavilion Sect Ring Competition, and thus entered the top level of the Forgetful Pavilion.

(Readers: 佭鸢, guest appearance in "Kite"; Reader: Quan Kui, guest appearance "Quan Kui")

And these seven people, plus Fang Jie, are also called the "Eight Heroes of Forgetfulness" on the rivers and lakes

These martial arts masters have a significant characteristic, that is, in the cultivation of martial arts skills, they do not seek quality but quantity, and they have learned a lot of all kinds of martial arts, but due to the limitation of talent, many skills have not been practiced to the full level, and the proficiency of moves is just to practice a certain type of skill, in order to become a martial arts master as quickly as possible, which is exactly the same as the way Fang Jie completed the evaluation of the great master of weapons.

It is precisely because of this that although the true strength of these martial arts grandmasters has made great progress compared to three years ago, it may not be much higher than those three-material great masters, and even some three-material great masters with a solid foundation are even more powerful than these martial arts masters, and the only thing they lack is nothing more than a title and the qualification to do the task of the grandmaster.

And to say that the most special and conspicuous person among all the great masters of martial arts, except for Fang Jie, is none other than the Broken Sword.

Since the remnant sword bought the "Oriental Undefeated Wish" and restored the man, with the strong support of Long Xiaotian, he not only began to desperately increase his innate talent to learn the internal skills of each faction, but also learned all kinds of elementary and intermediate martial arts skills that he could learn, and finally reluctantly completed the evaluation of the great martial arts master, and as soon as he was promoted to the great martial arts master, the old problem of the residual sword was committed again, and he ran to the gate of the Beijing Imperial Palace to find Gonggong Hai again for surgery, and became the only eunuch martial arts master in the game

A eunuch grandmaster who understands the magic of sunflowers, this can be regarded as a strange news in the world

Not to mention, after this series of funny operations, the remnant sword swept away the previous decline and became the second largest master in the rivers and lakes after Fang Jie recognized by the people in the rivers and lakes, so it was nicknamed "Old 2 without Old 2" by players

Not to mention what kind of huge impact the emergence of so many martial arts masters on the rivers and lakes in the past three years has brought to the situation of the rivers and lakes, just to say that after these martial arts masters have the qualifications to do the task of the grandmaster, there are more advanced props in all kinds of games on the rivers and lakes.

After the supply of these special materials on the market is gradually enlarged, it has also made the equipment manufacturing industry in the game "difficult for a good woman to cook without rice" unprecedentedly prosperous, and many equipment manufacturing life players have also been patronized and trained a lot of equipment manufacturing skill masters, which has also made the self-made equipment that has always been regarded as chicken ribs but the price is too high to be perverted quickly narrowed in terms of performance attributes and the cost performance between the price, and gradually won the favor of the majority of players.

The hot market of the equipment manufacturing industry has made its demand for downstream ordinary living materials instantly soar dozens of times, such as making a gemstone leather armor, in addition to the need for gem materials, the most demanded is the basic raw materials cowhide, rhino skin, snake skin, tiger skin, etc., but because the supply of downstream processing industry of these leather materials is far from meeting the needs of the current equipment manufacturing industry, there has been a very serious "inflation" phenomenon in the game for a period of time, and it has continued to this day.

Obviously, the root cause of this phenomenon is mainly due to the shortage of labor due to the low proportion of life players, and not because of the surplus of game currency, after all, since the upgrade of the sect system, the game system's ability to recover game currency has been greatly improved, and the currency circulating in the market has been maintained at a low level, therefore, the fundamental problem is still the imbalance in the number of players in the martial arts system and the life system.

It is precisely because of this imbalance and short supply that the price of living materials and resources has begun to grow continuously, for example, in the past, ten taels of silver and a cowhide, but now it has risen to one or two pieces of gold, and in the past, a pound of pork was thirty taels of silver, but now it is three taels of gold, and the rise in the price of this resource has increased the daily game cost of martial arts players by more than ten times, forcing some poor martial arts players to occasionally run a business or make a cameo appearance to plant something to sell or something. In the end, some of these martial arts players have completely changed to life players because of this.

That is to say, Fang Jie's prediction a few years ago that the living system will gradually occupy a more important proportion has been confirmed, but at the beginning Fang Jie thought that the fuse of this change was consumable pills, but now he found that the cause was life materials, and it had little to do with consumable pills.

On the whole, the tension of living resources is a common phenomenon in the entire game world, but partially, for example, there is a forgetful pavilion with its own life** system, but the situation is completely different.

Today, three years later, the total number of people in the Forgetfulness Pavilion sect is about to exceed 50 million, of which more than 30 million are living players, accounting for almost one-third of the total number of living players in the game world, and the other third has been collected by the Medicine King Valley, and the relationship between the Forgetful Pavilion and the Medicine King Valley can almost be described as intimate, and the cooperation between the two sides involves all aspects of the life system, so in fact, the Forgetful Pavilion has controlled two-thirds of the life system output in the game. The impact on the gaming economy is almost decisive.

It can be said that Fang Jie, who regards the life system as the key development strategy of the Forgetful Pavilion, now does not need to be taboo whether any sect dares to open a sect war against the Forgetful Pavilion, because as long as the Forgetful Pavilion and the Medicine King Valley join forces to cut off the material supply of the hostile sect forces, and uniformly increase the selling price of daily life props for the players of the hostile sect, then there is no need to make a move at the Forgetful Pavilion, and most of the players of the hostile sect will initiate the impeachment procedure as soon as possible, and remove the head of the sect that caused them to be unable to move an inch on the rivers and lakes.

The so-called economic status determines the political status, and now the status of the rivers and lakes of the Forgetful Pavilion is already unbreakable, and all its output is enough to meet the internal operation needs of the sect.

Of course, there is also a saying that war is the continuation of political struggle, and now the scenery of the Forgetful Pavilion is the scenery, but Fang Jie is very soberly believes that once the contradiction of resource distribution reaches an irreconcilable contradiction, it will one day lead to a melee in the rivers and lakes, which is just like in the real world whenever the contradiction of resource allocation develops to an irreconcilable level, it will trigger a world war.

However, this is also unavoidable, so although Fang Jie saw the crux of the problem, he couldn't do anything, and he didn't bother to pay attention to these things, his time and energy were focused on the ultimate goal.

This strong posture of the Forgetful Pavilion has also caused a series of major changes in the layout of the various factions in the rivers and lakes.

First of all, on the eve of the second sect competition of the Forgetful Pavilion, the Tang Sect was collectively merged into the Forgetting Pavilion under the mediation of Tang Ke and Tang Le's efforts, and from then on, the Tang Sect only existed as an empty shell sect within the official sect system, and was no longer a player sect.

On the eve of the third sect competition of the Forgetful Pavilion, the Murong family was also merged into the Forgetful Pavilion under the call of its head Mrs. Murong.

However, the process of merging the Murong family into the Forgetful Pavilion was not very smooth, and half of the disciples of the Murong family did not join the Forgetful Pavilion with Mrs. Murong Feng under the leadership of the 10,000-year-old 2 Murong Feng, but relied on the original Swallow Dock base to set up their own portal, to put it bluntly, the Murong family was internally divided into two parts, half of which took refuge in the Forgetful Pavilion, and the other half stayed.

In fact, to talk about this matter in detail, there are some insiders in it, with Mrs. Murong's character, she was reluctant to send people to join the Forgetful Pavilion, but because she has been the first disciple and head of the house for so many years, she gradually lost her vigilance against her potential political opponent Murong Feng, and Murong Feng has been secretly forming a gang, and finally found a chance to turn over, and when Mrs. Murong took it lightly, she actually succeeded in impeaching Mrs. Murong from power.

Mrs. Murong, who was no longer the head of the house, saw that the general trend had gone, and it didn't seem to make much sense to continue fighting, so she was disheartened and simply returned to the Forgetful Pavilion with her descendants, if it weren't for this, the merger of the two factions would not have happened.

Another sect that has something to do with the Forgetful Pavilion, the Vulture Palace, has finally been completely digested by the Star Sect, to be precise, the entire Vulture Palace, including the sect base, has been fully taken over by the Star Sect, and the Star Sect has since moved the sect's headquarters from the Star Sea to the Ethereal Peak, and the Star Sea Base has been regarded as an outpost of the Star Sect.

In addition, the three factions of the East China Sea Sect, the Five Poisons Sect, and the Ouyang Family have all collectively merged into the Xingzhu Sect under the means of Long Xiaotian, and their nature is similar to the nature of the Tang Sect's merger into the Forgetful Pavilion, that is, the original official sect system is retained, but the sect has been emptied, and it is no longer a player sect.

The Xingzhu faction, which merged the four sects at once, became famous for a while, whether it was the overall strength of the sect, the total number of sects, or the status and prestige of the rivers and lakes, there have been qualitative changes, and it has become a great faction in the real sense of the word, and its development momentum is not only second only to the Forgetful Pavilion, but also has become a representative sect of emerging forces

Moreover, after integrating the resources of the four factions, the Star Sect can basically guarantee self-sufficiency in terms of living resources, and learn the practice of the Forgetfulness Pavilion in hindsight, and begin to recruit unlimited life players, which shows that Long Xiaotian is extremely ambitious, and has made up his mind to fight against the Forgetfulness Pavilion.

While the Western Regions region was completely controlled by the Xingzhu faction, the Hu family in the Guanwai region also firmly controlled their own one-third of an acre of land, and collectively relocated the Central Plains Miao family to Guanwai, completing the integration of the Central Plains Miao family.

The reason why Hu said that the Hu family outside the gate was not relocated to the Central Plains, or temporarily retained the Central Plains Miao family, but the Central Plains Miao family was moved to the outside of the Guan, mainly because the geographical location of Zhongzhou where the Central Plains Miao family is located is too sensitive, the east is the beggar base Yangzhou City, and the west is the Xiangyang City, the base of the Forgetful Pavilion, and the small city of Zhongzhou that is sandwiched in the middle is facing a very embarrassing strategic position.

Speaking of the situation in the Central Plains, the biggest change is that after two or three years of sect warfare between the Wuyue Sword Sects, the dust has finally settled and the Wuyue Sword Sect Alliance has been jointly formed, at least nominally.

In this protracted and costly melee, the first to go out were the Hengshan faction and the Hengshan faction, and the final fate of these two sects with the same sound was no different, and they were destroyed by the Taishan faction and the Huashan faction respectively.

The second is the Songshan faction, this sect originally had a certain strength base, but there was still a strong neighbor Shaolin Temple living next to it, and the two sides tore their faces before the sect system was upgraded, and as a result, after a few years, the Songshan faction was stalked by a group of perverted monks in the Shaolin Temple, and finally did not resist, and all its disciples were forced to leave the Songshan faction one after another, and switched to other Wuyue Sword Sects, so the Songshan faction did not die in the sect war between the Wuyue Sword Sect, but was ground to death by the Shaolin Temple.

And the high-level cadres of the Songshan faction, including its head hidden ninja, originally planned to go directly to Fang Jie and join the Forgetful Pavilion, but after communicating with Fang Jie, Fang Jie clearly instructed them to go to the Taishan faction first to help the Taishan faction Shiliang win the sect battle with the Huashan faction and win the first position in the Wuyue Sword Sect Alliance

In addition, Fang Jie secretly instructed the top management of the Forgetful Pavilion to take various indirect means to support the Taishan faction, and the result is not surprising that the Taishan faction finally stood out from the Wuyue Sword Faction, and after occupying the base of the Huashan faction, it directly took the original base of the Huashan faction as the general rudder, and announced the establishment of the "Wuyue Sword Faction".

Of course, this so-called "Wuyue Sword Sect" is not actually an alliance, but just directly changed the name of the Huashan faction to the "Wuyue Sword Sect", the purpose of this is not only for convenience, but also to consider the class feelings of the disciples of the original Wuyue Sword Sect, so that everyone can accept it more psychologically, in fact, the entire Wuyue Sword Sect is actually a word hall of the Taishan faction, how can we talk about the Wuyue Alliance.

In addition to the above-mentioned major changes, there are also some new atmospheres in the various factions of the rivers and lakes.

For example, the second-rate sect Qingcheng faction, this sect still has a bit of influence at the beginning of the game, but because the martial arts system of the faction is close to the Wuyue Sword School, it does not have much of its own characteristics, and there are two more famous sects around the base of the faction, the Emei faction and the Sichuan Tangmen, plus the Qingcheng faction has never been qualified for the Huashan Sword Sect Competition, so it gradually declined, almost out of the sight of players.

However, during the three years that Fang Jie had been concentrating on leveling, the Qingcheng faction had become famous overnight, because an unknown player named Painted Rain Book Hate had completed the evaluation of the grandmaster in one fell swoop and was promoted to one of the great masters of martial arts after more than ten years of retreat

You know, not to mention the second-rate sect like the Qingcheng faction, even if it is Wudang and Shaolin, if there are one or two great martial arts masters among the disciples of this sect, it will be a great thing, so the Qingcheng faction almost relied on the power of painting rain and book hatred to re-establish its position in the rivers and lakes, and painting rain book hatred was therefore elected as the head of this faction by the disciples of the Qingcheng faction, hoping that he can lead the Qingcheng faction to go further

And another player who became famous overnight, named "Chonglou who grew up in the grass", although "Chonglou" is the name of a Chinese herbal medicine, but this person is not famous by relying on pharmaceutical skills, but because in addition to being promoted to the great master of martial arts, he also built a very distinctive sect - "Ten Thousand Beasts Villa"

Ten Thousand Beasts Villa, as the name suggests, is a sect that specializes in raising and taming beasts as the main feature, which is a sect in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", the original work is built by the five brothers of the Song Dynasty historians, located in Liangzhou, the five brothers can control the tiger respectively, training leopards, training lions, training elephants, raising monkeys, but in addition to the existence of a copy of the Ten Thousand Beasts Villa in a single copy, the other systems of the game are not involved in this sect.

And the Ten Thousand Beasts Villa established by the heavy building that grew up in the grass, to a certain extent, can be regarded as borrowing the main characteristics of the Ten Thousand Beasts Villa in the original book, and it has also been carried forward, because the Chonglou who grew up in the grass was originally a disciple of the Ouyang family, and then because the Ouyang world was annexed by the Xingzhu faction, he was not willing to condescend to the people, so he used the beast taming and sonic skills that he had already practiced in the White Camel Mountain, and it took more than two years to tame a large number of beasts in the deep mountains and old forests, and then with his own strength, With an army of millions of beasts, he slaughtered the White Camel Villa that had surrendered to the Star Sect

After this battle, the White Camel Villa has been weak since then, the key is that the heavy building that grew up in the grass also became famous overnight, and after being inspired by this battle, it was sought after by the followers of the original Ouyang family, so he established a sect called "Ten Thousand Beasts Villa" in the deep mountains.

Although there are not many disciples of the Ten Thousand Beasts Villa, the scale is also very small, but the strength should not be underestimated, its main feature is to bring the beast taming to the extreme, and drive the beast as a combat pet, you know, the Ten Thousand Beasts Villa drives the beast is almost costly, but if you gather an army of millions of beasts to attack a certain sect, any sect will inevitably have heavy casualties, therefore, such a sect can not offend it is best not to offend, all sects have a three-point fear of it.

In addition to the two bright spots of the Qingcheng faction and the Ten Thousand Beasts Villa, the chaotic Dongshan faction finally stabilized after several civil strife and disintegration, and the forces from all sides that broke away either joined some other sects one after another, or transferred to the second-rate sect base, and the ruling forces that remained in the Dongshan faction finally eased their strength to vigorously develop the sect, so they also achieved good results, which can be regarded as realizing the original intention of changing the name of the sect - a comeback.

Of course, this so-called "comeback" is just compared to those sects that have been annexed, after all, everyone has become an empty shell, as long as the Dongshan faction itself does not make mistakes, how can it be a little stronger than those sects, but it is only a little stronger, if you want to make a name for yourself and establish a status in the rivers and lakes, the Dongshan faction still has a long way to go.

So far, the number of recognized first-line player sects on the rivers and lakes has also been sharply reduced from the thirty sects at the time of the 6th Huashan Sword Conference to a total of 24 sects, such as the Forgetful Pavilion, Shaolin, Wudang, Emei, Beggars, Mingjiao, Blood Knife Gate, Dalun Temple, Dali Duan's Clan, Wuyue Sword Sect, Peach Blossom Island, Quanzhen Sect, Ancient Tomb Sect, Murong Family, Sun Moon Divine Sect, Xingzhu Sect, Xiaoyao Sect, Chivalrous Dao, Guanwai Hu Family, Dongshan Sect, Qingcheng Sect, Ten Thousand Beasts Villa, Yaowang Valley, etc
