Summoning Players into My Game-Chapter 573 - 322

"Opening a martial arts hall in Domain City?"

Ling Ye and Yi Feng, upon hearing this, were momentarily at a loss, unable to believe that the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall could operate this way.

At this moment, not just Ling Ye and Yi Feng were stunned, even Yino standing by the side was dumbfounded.

Others open martial arts halls at their own expense, but Lin Qi requires others to fund his.

However, Yino could somewhat understand this.

The Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall’s equipment is exceptional. By establishing itself in the Celestial River Domain City, residents there would be able to access Intermediate Gravity Rooms and Basic Meditation Rooms if they secure study spots or join the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall. It’s like indirectly selling these facilities, but the initiative remains with them.

If they were to directly sell Intermediate Gravity Rooms and Basic Meditation Rooms, the relationship between these facilities and Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall would cease, and Celestial River Domain City could use them however they want.

Yet if the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall simply opens a location in Celestial River Domain City, then all facilities remain under their control, and Celestial River Domain City cannot use them freely, no matter how hard they try.

Currently, even the daily managers of the martial arts hall’s equipment do not know how to replenish them. If energy is depleted, only Hall Master Lin Qi can authorize their function. No one else can truly control these devices.

In a situation where Celestial River Domain City uses force, all they would obtain are some unusable martial arts hall equipment. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

"If the two of you aren’t interested, we won’t insist," Lin Qi said calmly.

Ling Ye and Yi Feng exchanged glances after a prolonged silence. Ling Ye took a deep breath and looked at Lin Qi, saying, "Hall Master Lin, although we are very interested in the Intermediate Gravity Room and Basic Meditation Room, just having the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall set up in the Domain City doesn’t benefit us much. Moreover, by your rules, we can’t use the Intermediate Gravity Room and Basic Meditation Room unless we become trainees or join the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, becoming at least elite disciples. Isn’t it inappropriate to have us pay for this?"

The possibility of having Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall in Celestial River Domain City is indeed tempting, especially since traveling to Red Moon Town isn’t easy. Having a Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall there would be very convenient whenever they need Intermediate Gravity Rooms and Basic Meditation Rooms.

However, the issue is that using Intermediate Gravity Rooms and Basic Meditation Rooms requires identity with the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall. Without it, these facilities are unusable in Celestial River Domain City and offer no real benefit to them.

"It’s true, you need a certain identity to use the Intermediate Gravity Room and Basic Meditation Room," Lin Qi nodded, smiling slightly. "But this shouldn’t affect you. Our Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall is just a place to train martial artists, similar to the Martial Artist Association. Joining us as a disciple of the Martial Arts Hall doesn’t prevent you from joining other forces or working for them, as long as there’s no conflict with us. In such a case, do you still find my proposal excessive?"

"Just like the Martial Artist Association?" Ling Ye couldn’t help but feel intrigued upon hearing that.

The Martial Artist Association is a neutral organization in the Four Domains, essentially a platform for serving martial artists. Besides dealing with monsters in specific situations, they don’t require members to do anything else. Even in the Domain Cities within the Four Domains, the Martial Artist Association is present, and 99% of Domain City students join because of its extensive monster intelligence network compared to Domain Cities.

If the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall operates like the Martial Artist Association, then joining it won’t conflict with anything. Conversely, a Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall within a city benefits its residents, enabling faster personal growth.

Seeing the eagerness in Ling Ye and Yi Feng, Lin Qi smiled and asked, "Are you interested in discussing the price now?"

He had already experimented with how the system recognizes martial arts hall disciples. Once acknowledged by the hall, unless they voluntarily leave, they always remain recognized as disciples, regardless of joining other forces or competing against their disciples.

This is also why he relaxed the access to Thunder Light Palm to attract more people to the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall. However, considering the limited internal equipment and resources for disciples, a certain selection is necessary, not just anyone can join.

"In that case, we’re indeed interested," Ling Ye nodded, quietly asking, "What price does Hall Master Lin have in mind?"

To this, Lin Qi responded bluntly, "First, you need to provide a martial arts hall constructed per our specifications, which will belong to the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall. Secondly, we require you to fund the construction of the equipment within. An Intermediate Gravity Room costs twenty Energy Blood Essences, a Basic Meditation Room thirty, and an Advanced Training Room twenty. The usage fees will follow our martial arts hall’s pricing."

"That price is quite reasonable," Ling Ye said as he looked at Lin Qi, but then shook his head. "However, the martial arts hall and its equipment would belong to your Black Obsidian Hall, yet it’s our money and resources being spent, while everyone in Domain City benefits. What good does it do for us?"
