Chapter 158 System Update
The conversation between his parents made Lu Yao's mind extremely determined, and he realized that now was not the time to relax and enjoy.
The Huaxia Alliance has always been stuck in the throat, and it is not sure when it will explode. And this system update made him feel inexplicably that there seemed to be another opponent quietly observing in the dark.
In the following days, Lu Yao didn't go anywhere, and even Ye Yao called him to invite him to the class reunion. Alone in his room, he is buried in his plan for a system update that is about to be completed.
On the seventh day, the official completed the update on time and made the update public on the official website. Lu Yao did not enter the game immediately, but opened the computer and logged in to the official website to check the updated content.
Lu Yao carefully browsed the updated content, and his expression was very solemn. The content of this update deviates greatly from the memory of the previous life. The first thing that made him pay attention to it was the death punishment.
Players who die before the update don't suffer much, just a little experience and a deduction of the money they carry with them. The most serious loss is nothing more than the time it takes to take a stagecoach from the system city back to your territory.
Now, in addition to the above-mentioned penalties for player death, a certain attribute in the surrounding attributes has been randomly deducted as a penalty after death.
This death penalty is more severe.
Currently, the maximum level of the character is 100, and the maximum number of individual attributes is 80. The new player's initial stats are 20. In other words, when reaching the full level, the sum of the character's surrounding attributes is only 120. Additional attributes such as titles, equipment, etc., are calculated separately.
There are only so many total attributes. Death deducts a little attribute at a time, and the more times it happens, the character completely lags behind other players. Compared to before, it is obviously more brutal, so that new players have to choose to huddle or join the forces of old players.
For a lone ranger like him, raising the death penalty is rather disadvantageous. If you fall into the trap, being washed into a tabula rasa may not be a reality. First-class generals like Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong have died several times, and it is not surprising that they have fallen to second-rate celebrities. If you are maliciously targeted, it is not impossible to be washed into a third-rate or even a fourth-rate celebrity if you make a mistake.
Another thing that he values is the auction system.
There are two types of auction systems. One is the player auction system. Players are free to put rare items on the shelves for auction. Simply set a starting price, and then the other players bid within the time limit set by the auctioneer, and the highest bidder wins.
The other category belongs to the official auction system, and a small number of rare items are put on the shelves from time to time, such as the summoning order of famous generals, special architectural drawings, etc.
The appearance of the previous auction system was in the second system update. Lu Yao didn't understand why the auction system would come out early. But one thing is for sure, the emergence of the auction system, which replaces the original trading system, will greatly facilitate the interaction between players. At the same time, it also provides a foundation for various forces to monopolize prices in the future. The pros and cons vary from person to person.
Finally, and one of the updates he pays the most attention to, the three major online games will jointly open a new campaign dungeon, the Bloody Plains.
Lu Yao attached great importance to this, and carefully read it three times in a row, and finally determined that the Bloody Plains copy could be regarded as the initial copy of the future integration of the three major online games and the official start of the national war.
Players of the three major online games will use the country as a unit to develop, fight, plunder and other activities in the same map. It also makes sense to call it a national war.
"Bloody Plains." Lu Yao looked at the introduction on the webpage intently and smiled confidently.
In his previous life, he had experienced a huge war on an unprecedented scale, and he asked himself that no one was more familiar with the war than himself. Not to mention anything else, he has basically seen the professions of the other two major online games, and its weaknesses and advantages have been picked up by the vast number of players in the forum of the previous life.
His eyes swept over some of the national war rewards revealed by the official, and Lu Yao's heart was surging. If the increased death penalty and the opening of the Auction House greatly diminished his current advantage, the opening of the Bloody Plains Campaign quest gives him a chance to regain the advantage as a reborn.
In addition to these three updates, which should not be available until a year or even years later, there are several other updates that keep him on track.
1. Added a new campaign dungeon - Yellow Turban Uprising. This update is designed for new players. New players will be protected for a certain period of time when they enter the game. Protects the system from or against other players until the end of the protection period. Before the protection period ends, new players can enter the dungeon to farm experience, merit, and ensure that the gap with old players is narrowed in a short time.
Veteran players can also enter, but they can only get experience and corresponding props in the dungeon, and there is no merit, and the loot acquisition rate also decreases with the level to ensure relative fairness.
2. New Yunyou merchants and four major merchants (Xuzhou Mijia, Chen Liuzhen, Hedong Weijia, Yizhou Wujia). This update is designed to enrich players' shopping channels as a complement to the auction system.
Among them, you can buy ordinary resources and props from the wandering merchant, and have a small chance to refresh rare items such as special architectural blueprints, teleportation charms, and famous general summoning orders. Naturally, the price is ridiculously high. However, for players who aspire to a famous player, price is never an issue.
The four major merchants are the channels provided as a large number of basic resources, and the main service objects are NPC forces and a small number of players with fame and certain strength. Occasionally, private auctions are held, inviting NPCs and a small number of players to participate.
3. Open the task of recruiting famous generals. Players can recruit their favorite generals through the recruitment missions assigned by their favorite famous generals. The update does not elaborate on the difficulty of the mission, but only says that players are invited to experience it on their own.
Lu Yao scoffed at this.
This update is also available in the second update of the previous system. At the time, it was very crazy for players. However, only a handful of players were able to recruit famous players in the end. Countless players have vented their complaints on the forums that the tasks are too difficult and may not be able to complete the group.
In Lu Yao's opinion, this update does not do any good except for giving players a little hope. It's like drawing a big pie and saying to someone who is dying of hunger and say take it and eat it.
4. Increase the ways to obtain generals, special skills, troops, formation books, etc. Players can earn skill books through events, Bloody Plains campaign dungeons, quests, and more.
This is also the meaning of the title. Before the system update, players who chose the military general class were very hard, and players who chose the strategist class were even more difficult. There are no generals or special skills, and the player is basically equal to a high-level creep. This is also the fundamental reason why the second batch of players settled in the game, and the number of generals' professions skyrocketed.
Not everyone has an artifact like him.
Lu Yao swept over the side to update the content, got up and turned off the computer, and re-entered the game warehouse after seven days.
