Chapter 852 - 332: Taking Disciples Remotely, Accelerating Farming

The Ancestor Demon God’s battle avatar was blown up, and the blacksmiths started to develop two major farming avatars.

Over at the Bone Demon Royal City, the Eye of Identification is flourishing as they are promoting the "Identification Encyclopedia," allowing cultivators to obtain various detailed information at a glance using the Eye of Identification.

Meanwhile, here at Xirong Academy, they’ve officially begun accepting disciples.

They found this to be quite good.

Without a battle avatar, they won’t engage in battles. The two management avatars, farming and business, are changing the world, leaving the battle experts to fight among themselves.

Moreover, now there’s also a Night Emperor, which is quite absurd. They don’t want to get involved in this mess.

Behind them is an unfathomable artist, plotting something unknown.

Ning Zheng watched and chuckled, "It’s indeed interesting, these little blacksmiths know my intentions. Now the battle cultivators’ conquest needs to be kept at a distance."

Sword Casting Manor Game Forum.

A post was pinned to the top.

"Dizzy: Professional Association, established! Next door, the Night Emperor tricked Emperor Zangwu into working, and we persuaded a group of professionals to work, making our Xirong the number one Holy Land in the Nine-State!"

Ning Zheng skimmed through it.

The article rambled on for over a thousand words, equipped with pictures and videos, showcasing their pretentious swagger.

Clearly, they really enjoyed this round of game activities.

Many blacksmiths also replied:

"Watching the stunned, bewildered expressions of those bystanders, with numerous major forces sending disciples to seek education, it’s incredibly satisfying... hahaha, and the fake Daojiu, coming over here to apprentice under the real Daojiu!"

"Between the lines, there’s a strong sense of achievement. Farming allows us to change the world."

"This is the way farming players should operate."

Clearly, for game players, the satisfaction of affecting some main storyline, influencing world dynamics, changing environments, and being worshipped by the masses to become a great hero is the most enjoyable.

In reality, the so-called exhilarating and classic main storyline—the hero saving the world—is essentially one faction of heroes changing the world.

Now, they believe they are no less than the heroes.

The comments below are lively too.

"Medical Fairy: This is just a beginning. We are about to spearhead the creation of a new kingdom for life professionals, uniting all non-combat profession cultivators, turning them into our workers, conducting research together, and advancing civilization! Making the world a better place!"

"Immortal Aunt: In fact, after the Eye of Identification exploded, humanity has entered the era of quickly understanding the world, establishing big models of data. Now, by uniting another wave of professionals, we will become the kings of civilization!"

"Shao Chaikun: Has Xin Xichen cried yet?"

"Food God: Xin Xichen can’t do anything to us. The righteousness is on our side. If he dares to make a move against us, various non-combat profession cultivators across the world will protest!"

"Crayon Shin-Chan: I can already imagine Xin Xichen hiding in the dark, biting a handkerchief, looking like a timid, bullied girl."

"Jiucai Rong: Defying the heavens! Can everything be turned into a cute girl?"

...

Ning Zheng closed the discussion thread, pondering to himself.

These blacksmiths aim to gather experts from various circles to form an association and create a monopoly.

However, their ambition to become capitalists is just talk, really.

They play the game for joy, to better change the era, benefit the populace, and gain a sense of accomplishment.

So their monopoly won’t make them full-fledged capitalists, but rather, they will twist everyone into a single strand, working crazily like gears to drive the era forward!

Clearly.

They are envious of the fast progress in the neighboring Celestial Destiny World and want to attempt this wave themselves.

"But they’re too wild, and in the end, I’m still roasted on the fire."

Ning Zheng sighed deeply.

Originally, he intended to continue watching the drama in secret, but evidently, he couldn’t control the situation.

Yet Ning Zheng felt the blacksmiths did right this time.

This isn’t stirring up trouble; it’s self-preservation.

When the Emperor thinks you might rebel, it’s best to truly have the capability to overturn the table.

Ning Zheng wanted to watch the drama, but now it’s clear he needs to stay in a higher neutral position to better enjoy the drama!

They want to compete?

Fine, I’ve already opted out.

They want weapons?

—Beg me.

Ning Zheng’s personality is never cowardly or evasive, but in most cases, he weighs the pros and cons, seeking the best development policy.

...

...

On the second day.

Because Xi Rong gained another wave of popularity, the daily Qi Fortune Value of the Xi Rong statue increased, bringing Ning Zheng into the 3 million zone.

But Ning Zheng is unimpressed by Nine-State’s daily fortune value.

After all, here it’s millions daily, which pales compared to over billions every hundred years there.

And the blacksmiths just had a few days of leisure before starting to get busy again!

They are naturally inclined to hard work and love multitasking.

There’s been almost nothing happening over at Bone Demon Royal City recently, and every day they log in at Xirong Academy, starting to build the city and establish the Professional Guild.

Every early morning, a bunch of people come to sign up at the academy.

"I want to be an apprentice!"

"Is it the legendary Divine Craftsmen and Divine Doctors who personally accept disciples?"

"That would be an incredible level of mystery."

"Their skills must be very strong."

...

Blacksmiths use Nine Chapters for "Personal Ability Assessment" to create files, assigning them to various regions to become "cattle and horses" to start working.

This group of lunatics aims to achieve the "Nine-State Civilization Elevation Plan," starting farming, developing technology, and boosting productivity.

Thus, blacksmiths officially start taking orders, letting the recruited "workers" forge Immortal Weapons.

But certainly, they also have to educate apprentices; otherwise, it’s just a scam!

They start taking registered apprentices based on their potential and performance, using the teaching method of "correspondence."

For specific guidance, when Xirong Academy students encounter issues in forging magical artifacts, they write to their mentors for solutions.

Sword Casting Manor sends daily treasure chests... across to Daojiu and others in the Celestial Destiny World.

And Daojiu and others over there are responsible for replying.

It’s... lacking in virtue!

After a few days, Ning Zheng was dumbfounded by the blacksmiths’ cunning tactics.

This is too shameless.

He was shocked internally, "I wondered how you dared to take apprentices, turns out you’re accepting apprentices remotely?"

The exhausted mentors are actually their adventure idle game avatars, right?

These blacksmiths’ cunning moves are truly groundbreaking!

Each of their Thomas spiral-style pretentious tactics keeps refreshing Ning Zheng’s worldview and cognition with their unimaginable creativity.

And believe it or not.

This approach isn’t bad.

At least those registered apprentices at Xirong Academy can perfectly solve all difficulties and doubts in forging Immortal Artifacts.

Because over a hundred years, even if the opposite Destiny World embers blacksmiths don’t understand some questions raised by apprentices, they have time to grasp them.

And Daojiu and others on the opposite side have no objections to this either.

After all, replying once every hundred years isn’t really an issue.

Moreover, remote correspondence of the Nine-State World’s fantastic ideas, imaginations, and doubts can precisely help fill gaps, providing a level-up for themselves.

In fact.

Teaching students essentially is also a way to improve oneself.

Because when you teach students certain content and information, you often discover many blind spots yourself.

Thus, the official emergence of Sword Casting Manor set off a blaze of public attention.

Because they found it truly capable!

Some previous doubts, thinking the opponent might be fraudulent, were all dispelled by their demonstrated competency.

Especially Xinyi Baisan, who was dumbfounded, "Weren’t they originally said not to be Divine Craftsmen? How can they truly be capable of giving guidance?"

Xinyi Baisan questioned life, "I remember, they truly aren’t Divine Craftsmen, right?"
