Chapter 124 Update Announcement
Li Fan withdrew his surprised gaze. After listening to Wo Hu's analysis, he naturally felt confident.
Since it's the spring beast tide, it should still be about two months away.
Therefore, the expansion pack focuses on preparing for the beast tide, and those terrifying monsters should only appear after the beast tide.
There's no need to worry too much now.
"Oh right, I haven't read the update announcement yet. I should go check what's going on." Li Fan put the cola on the table and quickly reopened the pinned post.
After skipping the video, a large announcement popped up in front of him.
[Cultivation Online v0.3.0 Update Announcement]
[Update Summary: Based on player feedback and gameplay over the past few days, the developers have decided to optimize some bugs and gameplay elements, and also to accelerate game progress and prevent the game from becoming monotonous.]
This update will bring a brand new "Prepare for the Beast Tide" version.
The following are the specific update details.
I. Opening of the New Map
The game will add three new large maps for players to explore: the outer area of the Lianyun Mountains, the back mountain of the sect, and the Black Tiger Gang's stronghold.
1. Lianyun Mountains
Location: Dangerous Area
Players can explore this area, but need to be careful of the monsters inside. It is recommended that players who are not at the mid-stage of Qi Refining should not travel alone.
Currently, the explored areas are: Spirit Lake and Ridge Plain (more areas await players to explore).
2. Back Mountain of the Sect
This area is home to powerful monsters and is even more dangerous than the Lianyun Mountains, but there are fewer monsters on the outer edges. Players must proceed with caution when venturing deeper.
3. Black Tiger Gang Stronghold
Danger level: Low
The town of Liuye is rife with criminal gangs, including many bandits who cause trouble.
However, the bandit leader has been secretly controlled by the sect, so as long as the players do not make any mistakes, they will be basically safe inside.
It turned out to be a map of the Lianyun Mountains.
Li Fan felt a mix of emotions upon seeing the new map update.
Since playing the online cultivation game for so many days, Li Fan has never explored the outer reaches of the Lianyun Mountains in depth.
Li Fan couldn't help but think back to the past, when his cultivation level was low, he couldn't even handle the demonic beasts within his sect, let alone go out to explore.
If he had the chance to go back now, he really hoped to explore the vast Lianyun Mountains himself.
After all, a place where monsters gather often means that there are also many rare and precious treasures.
As for the maps of the back mountain and the Black Tiger Gang, he already knew about them beforehand, so he wasn't particularly surprised.
"Since the first update is a map, what will the next one be?" Li Fan suppressed his curiosity and clicked on the second update.
II. The Library and Honor Point System
1. Added new currency Honor Points
Honor points are different from contribution points; only those who make extraordinary contributions to the sect can obtain them.
Currently, its main purpose is to be used in the second and third floors of the Sutra Repository to exchange for advanced cultivation techniques for learning.
2. The Sutra Repository is open to the public.
All cultivation techniques within the sect will now be automatically moved from the contribution shop to the scripture pavilion.
From now on, players will have to borrow martial arts techniques from the Scripture Pavilion to learn them.
Furthermore, the cultivation techniques will be presented in the form of jade slips, which can only be learned by one player and cannot be resold.
The following are the rules used in the library:
The first level contains the vast majority of common cultivation techniques, which players can directly exchange for using contribution points.
The second layer contains some excellent and rare martial arts techniques, which require players to have 10 honor points to enter and learn. Borrowing a technique once also requires 10 honor points.
The third level contains the sect's top-tier cultivation techniques. Only players with 30 honor points can enter, and borrowing a technique once also requires 30 honor points.
Honor Points?
The government is even researching a new currency!
Li Fan was momentarily taken aback by this sudden change.
He didn't yet know what the official move meant, and could only wait and ask Brother Wohu after he finished reading it.
But there was still a long list of update announcements, which continued to pique Li Fan's curiosity, prompting him to scroll down.
III. Optimization of the Dungeon System
The game will add more dungeons, some of which can be repeated, and others that can be cleared in one go.
1. Repeat the challenge dungeon Cloud Mountain Secret Realm
Note: Only open to players in the mid-stage of Qi Refining.
Players can enter the Trial Grounds in the Cloud Mountain Secret Realm to complete tasks, obtain energy, and exchange it for inheritances within the Inheritance Hall, as well as spiritual herbs brought out of the Spirit Herb Valley.
2. More hidden dungeons
More one-time hidden dungeons, such as the Gold-Eating Rat's Nest, will be gradually added to the Lianyun Mountains.
However, these dungeons are mostly Easter eggs, which players need to explore on their own to find.
Furthermore, the returns are not necessarily stable and players need to consider this carefully.
The release of the dungeon was something everyone had anticipated.
However, the addition of a hidden dungeon took Li Fan by surprise.
However, he didn't think too much about it and continued reading.
IV. Updated Death Penalty Mechanism
To be honest.
Upon seeing these four large characters, Li Fan no longer wanted to read on.
The newbie protection period is over, so you're going to do this to me?
But a sliver of hope compelled him to continue reading the rest.
In short: Considering that players who have entered the mid-stage of Qi Refining are already quite strong, they gradually pass through the newbie protection period of this game.
Therefore, in order to maintain game balance (to prevent players from dying to complete the game and affecting the gaming experience),
In addition to the time of death, the game will also have an experience deduction mechanism, the specific deduction mechanism is as follows:
After reaching the mid-stage of Qi Refining, players will lose 40% of their current experience bar each time they die.
If the percentage is less than 40%, it will be reset to zero; if it is less than 10%, the user will be removed from the level list.
Note: The minimum protection level is Qi Refining Level 4. Players will not drop from the mid-stage of Qi Refining to the early stage.
Seeing this note made Li Fan feel much better.
They are now under the threat of the shadowy demonic cultivators, and who knows when they might accidentally die here.
If too many people die and fall to the early stage of Qi Refining, that would be incredibly embarrassing.
After regaining his composure, Li Fan shifted his gaze downwards and began to observe the subsequent update announcements.
V. New Squad System
Players can team up and cooperate to complete tasks.
This update was fairly standard, nothing that surprised Li Fan.
VI. Main Quest Update
A new main quest will be available for all players to accept.
All main quests will revolve around preparing for the Beast Tide; players are advised to be ready.
VII. Secondary Profession System Update
Two new secondary professions have been added: Weapon Refiner and Spirit Plant Cultivator. Their specific details and inheritances are relatively hidden and require players to explore and activate them on their own.
[8. 50 new players will be joining soon]
After reading the last four updates, Li Fan gradually calmed down.
Indeed, as the official statement said, this update is truly massive, not only in terms of the setting but also in the secondary profession system, which has room for further development and improvement.
However, Li Fan still doesn't know what these specifically represent.
It seems he needs to open the forum and find his own encyclopedia.
