Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, Hall Master's Lounge.

Following Meng Wei's exclamation, the young man from the Iron Heart Gang also couldn't help but take a closer look.

On the martial artist certification card on the iron table, in addition to the specific identity information and Lin Qi's photo, there was also a red seal with the words "Special Grade" prominently stamped.

"Special Grade?"

"Lin Zi, you are a genius martial artist?!"

Luo Qi, who had just come to his senses, looked at the martial artist certification card on the table and was once again stunned.

It was already astonishing enough that Lin Qi could become a martial artist.

Simply spreading this news, Lin Qi could become another legendary figure in the wilderness, becoming the focal point of discussion among the various ethnicities in the suburbs.

Genius Martial Artist!

If this news got out, Lin Qi wouldn't just be a legend, but a myth, a mythical legend of Chasing Light City.

Destined to become a core high-level figure of Chasing Light City in the future!

"Yes, I got certified this morning." Lin Qi nodded and said with a smile, "So, do you see the advantage now?"

"Your advantage is indeed significant." Luo Qi didn't mind in the slightest, looking at the martial artist certification card with delight, "I initially thought you could make money with your physique and looks, but I didn't expect you to plan on relying on your skills."

"I'll just take it as a compliment." Lin Qi rolled his eyes at the clueless Luo Qi.

While Lin Qi and Luo Qi chatted light-heartedly, the three from the Iron Heart Gang didn't feel relaxed at all; the young man even broke out in a sweat from watching.

Special Grade Potential!

Genius Martial Artist!

For those aspiring to be martial artists, they knew all too well what this represented.

"Hanlan, stand down!" Meng Wei suddenly reprimanded the young man, then turned to Lin Qi with a face that no longer bore its previous boldness, only awe, "I apologize to Hall Master Lin for my two disciples who have been spoiled, leading to their disrespect. I hope Hall Master Lin won't mind."

"As Hall Master Lin said, Hall Master Lin alone is qualified to take not just thirty percent, but even fifty percent."

If previously he treated Lin Qi as just a young successor, now Lin Qi was a towering figure in Chasing Light City, someone that suburban gangs like theirs absolutely couldn't afford to offend or disrespect.

Hearing this, the young man also felt as if he was granted amnesty, quickly retreating behind Meng Wei with his head lowered, not daring to glance at Lin Qi again.

"Deputy Gang Leader Meng Wei, don't think I'm trying to overpower you." Lin Qi looked at the outwardly agreeing, inwardly disagreeing Meng Wei, chuckling, "I'm genuinely discussing business and cooperation with you."

"You should know more about the Two-Headed Gang than I do. Even if our two groups join forces and fight those lizardmen, we would suffer heavy losses. After all, martial artists aren't allowed to fight in the city; it's all about the gangs' numbers and resources. Your gang knows that our Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall has numerous experts, yet you only intend to give us thirty percent of the share; don't you think that's a bit much?"

"How much does the Iron Heart Gang need to offer to enlist the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall?" Meng Wei sighed, realizing that they couldn't take advantage of the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall.

"If we are to take action, we want sixty percent." Lin Qi stated bluntly.

"Sixty percent?" Meng Wei slightly frowned, explaining, "Hall Master Lin might not know, but the Two-Headed Gang's members have exceeded five thousand. We of the Iron Heart Gang plan to utilize over four thousand for a life-and-death battle with the Two-Headed Gang."

"I heard that Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall suffered significant losses in the battle with the Great Ape Gang. You probably can't dispatch many experts now; wouldn't taking sixty percent be too much?"

"If you're counting heads, Deputy Gang Leader Meng Wei, you might feel shortchanged." Lin Qi said confidently, "But the strength of our Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall's disciples is incomparable to the lizardmen of the Two-Headed Gang. Even with just over a hundred, they wouldn't be much different from the Two-Headed Gang's five thousand. Having us lead the charge can significantly reduce the casualties on Iron Heart Gang's side. This deal is absolutely a win-win for Iron Heart Gang."

"Of course, if Deputy Gang Leader Meng Wei still doubts, you can come with me for an inspection at Red Moon Mountain early tomorrow morning. Decide after you see for yourself."

Regarding the players' strength, Lin Qi was very confident. Especially with the small energy ore vein, the players' upgrade speed was changing day by day.

By tomorrow's trip to Red Moon Mountain, the number of players becoming quasi-martial artists might exceed twenty; given their ability to fight above their level, each one's strength would probably surpass that of an extreme quasi-martial artist in A6-grade battle armor.

These players are definitely a force to be reckoned with, even in the suburban gangs.

"Alright! Since Hall Master Lin has spoken this way, my disciples and I also want to meet the heroes who wiped out the Great Ape Gang." Meng Wei nodded, curious about where Lin Qi got his confidence, thinking Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall could confront a suburban gang like the Two-Headed Gang.

Afterwards, Meng Wei and his two disciples were guided by the players to the second-floor lounge of the martial arts hall to rest, preparing for the survey at Red Moon Mountain early the next morning.

...

Outside Chasing Light City, Red Moon Mountain.

The morning sun had just risen, and Lin Qi drove the medium-duty transport vehicle to the entrance of Red Moon Mountain.

The entrance to Red Moon Mountain had changed greatly compared to two days ago; there was a large crowd of wilderness vagabonds lined up, numbering over ten thousand. Even Meng Wei and others were shocked.

"Why are there so many wilderness vagabonds here?" Meng Wei looked at the long line of vagabonds, filled with confusion.

The news of the Great Ape Gang's destruction had only recently spread to the suburbs of Chasing Light City. Even if Red Moon Mountain wanted to create a transit market, proving its strength, it shouldn't attract so many wilderness vagabonds so quickly.

Wilderness vagabonds were different from the various city gangs, with extremely limited communication. Word-of-mouth usually took about ten days to half a month to reach vagabonds scattered in the wilderness.

Generally, gathering so many wilderness vagabonds for a transit market used to take a month for other wilderness gangs attempting the same.

It's not just Meng Wei who was puzzled; even Lin Qi was equally confused.

"How come so many people are lining up in just two days?" Lin Qi looked at the sea of people at the entrance to Red Moon Mountain, and it was a much more intimidating sight than when the Great Ape Gang attacked.

Just as Lin Qi was about to get out of the car and have the players open the gate to enter Red Moon Mountain.

The alarm on Red Moon Mountain suddenly sounded, its loud sound echoing throughout Red Moon Mountain.

"What's going on?" Lin Qi was a bit flustered when he heard the alarm. He didn't recall Red Moon Mountain having such a thing.

Before Lin Qi could react, many of the wilderness vagabonds queueing outside the gate of Red Moon Mountain also became frantic.

"Not good! It's the monster attack alarm!"

"We'd better run! If the monsters charge over, we're doomed!"

"What is Red Moon Mountain thinking? With such a strong scent of blood still lingering, it's practically inviting monsters over!"

In no time, thousands of wilderness vagabonds lining up began preparing to escape by swimming across the lake nearby.

"Monsters attacking?"

"Damn it! Hanlan, let's get off the car! Hold off the monsters first!"

Meng Wei, seeing the vast crowd of vagabonds in front of Red Moon Mountain, gritted his teeth and called his disciples, preparing to get off the car to fend off the attacking monsters.

But when Meng Wei and his two disciples got out, they quickly discovered that the majority of wilderness vagabonds queueing up in front of Red Moon Mountain didn't even budge.

One by one, they wore carefree and relaxed expressions, even teasing those getting ready to escape to the lake.

"Look! Another group of newbies who know nothing. They don't even know why they came to Red Moon Mountain."

"These newbies probably come here thinking Red Moon Mountain is crowded, setting up their stalls."

"This is great; I came early and queued for two or three hours. Now there are over a hundred fewer people ahead of me, so I can get in quicker."

...

For such nonchalant wilderness vagabonds, Meng Wei was utterly astonished, not understanding what they were thinking. Clearly, monsters were about to attack, yet they still queued up, each unworried about death?

At this point, not only was Meng Wei dumbfounded, even Lin Qi, who got off the car, felt equally puzzled.

Are today's wilderness vagabonds this brave?

Not afraid of monsters at all?

It should be noted that the roars of monsters had already reached the gate of Red Moon Mountain, and this alarm wasn't fake.

Just as Lin Qi was about to call the guarding players for inquiries, three teams suddenly came running down from Red Moon Mountain. These teams were led by Luo Wushang, Fang Zhen, and One Leaf Floating Cloud, respectively.

"Wow! There are only two Crocodile-toothed Rhinoceroses this time! These monsters are getting weaker and weaker!" One Leaf Floating Cloud exclaimed, looking at the two massive figures charging over the bridge.

"Only two monsters this time, according to our agreement, which team is going to take action?" Luo Wushang looked at the two Crocodile-toothed Rhinoceroses, her interest lacking, and asked the other two.

"Last time it was our team, so it's time for Old Zhen's team this round." One Leaf Floating Cloud looked at Fang Zhen, laughing out loud.

"Why is your luck so good? When it's our turn, it doesn't work out." Fang Zhen glanced angrily at the Crocodile-toothed Rhinoceroses more than a kilometer away. "Brothers, get ready! Let's finish off these two monsters quickly, so we don't have to be annoyed!"

Fang Zhen's team members, over ten in number, nodded in agreement and walked forward.
