(WIP) Path of Martial Arts: The Beginning (Dark, Eastern Fantasy | 750k words)

Exposure, or more specifically hypothermia if they die from cold. “Chilliness” sounds uncomfortable, not fatal.

Ok, after reaching the end of the demo, the most important question: will there be option for Tang Ruo and Lei Xiwen poly route? Because am not giving up on Ruo, but Xiwen is just too much fun to tease.

Plus, getting these two in the bed together would be one obvious way to achieve world peace. /s

As a suggstion, maybe during the dream sequence or during the coma, you could assign a check for each of the stats that requires it to be at 300 to pass? And then for each check passed, you could give some kind of reward or bonus to the character, whether that’s extra EXP or potentially gaining new Talents or Traits?

That way, the player feels rewarded for building their character well, even if they’re sent back to square one.

I feel like a nice reward would be to get that excess as either additional EXP after the expo, or to have these stored as starting point after the paradigm switch (so, say, if you’d get 20 points while at the cap, that would mean starting from 20 in that attribute instead of literal 1 after the timeskip) It’d also make things a wee bit less silly – because srsly, even regular mortals aren’t at literal 1s across the board and MC is supposedly back to mortal levels after they wake up and spend a month eating and swallowing pills.

Also, I have a couple of questions.

Firstly, I keep seeing people mentioning you gain a Poison Resistance Trait by surviving the poisoning with no aid. I maxed out Vitality but I still ended up dying. Is there some other prerequisite that I’m unaware of?

Additionally, I feel as if Jing’s restaurant plotline didn’t go anywhere? I kept expecting to be attacked by people disapproving of the fact that we kept selling wine, like those twins mentioned earlier, but nothing came of it? Is that intentional? Because I feel like by the time the expedition is over, the story has moved past such low stake struggles.

Most importantly, your MC needs regeneration trait to fight the poison. To pass the check, you need 180 vitality (by enabling energy infusion this can be reduced to 170, or 160 with energy manipulation trait)

Regarding restaurant, after the time skip when you inquire about other people and Jing is still alive, there’s a mention he’s been having trouble with his restaurant and the Spear Twins were making some angry noises. Since they’re supposed to be top tier Arena contestants, i imagine they’re going to make (optional) appearance in the story now.

Is there any way to beat Long Chen? Because I only manage to leave him half dead and after a while he heals… Thanks in advance, the game is amazing!

Nope you can either blow him up using the bomb or completely smash his skull using the golden seed and in both scenarios he regenerate back to have death status

You can beat him. Just won’t kill him. I think he needs to be alive. I might be wrong though.

You effectively beat him when he’s half dead in the hole, since he wouldn’t be able to save himself from another blow. But he then uses blackmail to prevent this from happening and force others to concede. It’s a pretty smart play, all things considered.

knowing long chen, i don’t think is gonna be that easy considering he got that immortality, but from the way the golden seed act like a antidote/counter measure to long chen attacks, the golden seed might eventually evolve along the story to a extent that might be possible to kill him permanently

Xiwen and Ruo already could have killed him if they wanted to.

I don’t think that is true? Without you using the Bomb or the Golden Seed at max, they end up losing against Long Chen.

I think I have found a bug?

If you attempt to buy 20% cut of the profits from Jung Guo on the Mosquito, the game still responds as if you chose to only buy 10% for 1000 gold.

Also, does anyone know if how you train Tigress has any concrete effects on the story? I was very surprised to see that Tigress still lost an arm even though I trained her to shore up her weaknesses.

No, there’s currently no impact beyond potential relationship increase and/or status change. The game doesn’t record which area you picked, the choice just allows you to use the stat which your MC is strong at (or weak and fail the training, if you wanted it for some reason)
