Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, Training Field.

As Lin Qi posted a new announcement on the bulletin board and official forum, the players who received the news were incredibly excited and thrilled.

"This update is freaking awesome, two cities actually going to war directly, and there's no level restriction. Even newcomers can join in, it's a total blast for rookies this time."

"Not just a blast, this time the event even launched a merit system. As long as you use the spoils before the battle ends, you can exchange them for merits at the Martial Arts Hall. Those merits are some good stuff. I feel they're more useful than Martial Arts Hall Contribution. Just accumulating one hundred merits can make you a third-class soldier, enjoying a 20% discount on the first floor of the Cultivation Tower in Red Moon Town forever. I've heard that Cultivation Tower in Red Moon Town is really something, built entirely with energy ore, and the cultivation speed inside is absolutely fast."

"The merit is indeed awesome. I just looked at the newly released merits, covering six major levels: soldier, sergeant, lieutenant, school officer, general, and marshal. The game currently only opens up to the lieutenant level. Soldiers can enjoy some town building discounts, while sergeants are powerful, as they can purchase a team cultivation room at the Martial Arts Hall, and it comes with a Basic Gravity Room. No need to compete with others for gravity room cultivation anymore."

"The coolest is still the lieutenant, who can set up a Defense Corps, buy land in Red Moon Town to freely build a guild base. The land you can buy is much larger than a private residence, and there's no building restriction. You can use any materials you want, truly free construction."

"The lieutenant is indeed great. Being able to form a Defense Corps really means having the authority to start a guild. Unfortunately, the merits required are too high. Just becoming a sergeant requires ten thousand merits. To become a lieutenant, you need to reach the Bone Forging Realm to become a second lieutenant with the permission to buy Defense Corps premises in Red Moon Town. For ordinary people, it's simply impossible to reach lieutenant in this event alone."

Although the players were very interested in the large-scale battle, they were even more intrigued by the merit system introduced in the game, especially the various permissions brought by merits, which set their blood boiling with excitement.

Particularly, the many new wealthy and super-rich players, their eyes lit up at the sight.

What they fear most is not the game's difficulty, but its reluctance to open permissions.

Previously, for cultivation, even if they acquired many Martial Arts Hall Points, securing a Basic Gravity Room for cultivation was a matter of luck, as there were many players competing for limited resources.

Not to mention, with Descent of High Martial's 100% virtual reality value, there's no shortage of rich and super-rich players, and many large gaming guilds have joined. The financial power of those large guilds is extraordinary.

You could say once a major guild makes a decision, their financial power is beyond what these wealthy and super-rich players can match. Competing for cultivation resources is not generally difficult, as everyone knows the higher the level, the more benefits you can gain in the game.

The known world of Descent of High Martial is vast. Just the Mist Mountain Region alone has over forty cities and hundreds of towns, covering over ten million square kilometers, and the game has so far only opened Chasing Light City and the surrounding map. The potential is immeasurable; it's definitely the largest and most realistic game they've ever seen.

From this, it's evident the game's developers have grand ambitions, fully intending to make Descent of High Martial humanity's second world. Anyone who isn't foolish understands the investment value of this game.

Now, with the game opening the merit system, it's simply a blessing for them.

Not to mention becoming a lieutenant, even if they manage to become a sergeant before the event ends, they'd be thrilled, directly owning their private Basic Gravity Room, using it whenever they want without queueing, and experiencing the VIP treatment.

Blue Star, inside a skyscraper over a hundred floors.

"Boss, the files you asked me to distribute have been sent to all employees." A secretary in a short skirt walked into the office, looking at the young boss who had recently taken over the company, filled with confusion in her eyes.

Despite being a young CEO with billions in assets, instead of spending money on entertainment, he was willingly paying for employees to play games. And that game is insanely expensive; just reserving a spot costs 4999, and reviving after dying in the game is another 648—it's simply not for ordinary people.

Yet, she couldn't understand what madness her young boss was under, having such a special passion for this game. The money he has already spent alone amounts to billions.

If she had that much money, she could indulge in a life of revelry, enjoying a beautiful life, or even travel to space to see views of other planets. But her boss chose the realm of a virtual game instead.

Now it's even more astonishing. If any of the company employees manage to get into the game, the boss offers a monthly salary of 100,000, letting them work in the game with bonuses, and the contract is signed for all employees, lasting ten years.

The world of the wealthy is truly beyond her comprehension.

As for her, it's miserable. Not only does she have to work for her boss during the day, but as she's chosen by the game, she has to work for him at night too. Life has become unbearable.
