The first eight updates are focused on Lord Mode, while the following four are relevant to adventurers.

[9] Launched the equipment binding system.

In view of the fact that the cost of reincarnation is too high for adventure players, especially after a piece of equipment is dropped, if no one picks it up, the loss for the player is too heavy, and it begins to affect the balance of the game.

Gaia launched the equipment binding system at the right time, players only need to spend one-tenth of the gold of the equipment valuation to be able to soul bind the equipment, and death will not be dropped.

Equipment valuation is done by the system itself.

For high-end players, this is undoubtedly a boon, which is equivalent to buying insurance.

[10] Launched a special elixir system.

This update is also to compensate adventurers, Gaia will put some rare quests into the Underworld, and have a chance to obtain elixirs like [Experience Pill] and [Practice Pill].

Reincarnated players can quickly increase their level and exercises by taking similar pills, shortening their cultivation time.

"Zhou Yi" has a saying: "The avenue is fifty, the sky is forty-nine, and one of them is gone." ”

The one that escapes is a glimmer of life. Gaia obviously doesn't want to do things perfectly, and for talented adventurers, even if they are unfortunately reincarnated, with the help of the elixir, they also have the opportunity to make a comeback.

Through the first two updates, Ouyang Shuo faintly sensed that perhaps Gaia was already paving the way for a large-scale national war, and only by reducing the loss of reincarnation could the enthusiasm of adventurers be stimulated to the greatest extent.

[11] World Martial Arts Conference.

In the last round of system updates, in order to satisfy players' PK desires, Gaia launched the arena system at the right time. This time, on the basis of the arena, a more exciting world martial arts conference was launched.

To put it bluntly, this is a world competition.

Since the beginning of the fifth year of Gaia, the cycle of martial arts is one year. In the first half of the year, the top 10 players in the arena points will be determined with the royal city (including the territorial capital) as the competition area.

The top 10 players will receive the title of "Top Ten Masters of Wangcheng" and related rewards, the title has attribute bonuses, and the rewarded items are based on the dark gold level, and there is a very small probability of obtaining purple gold level items.

The first-ranked iron is guaranteed to receive a purple gold item.

In the autumn, with the country as the competition area, the top ten masters of the city of kings gathered together for a new round of competition PK to determine the top ten "top ten masters in the world", and at the same time issued more generous rewards.

This round of rewards is based on purple-level items, and there is a very small probability of obtaining a low-grade artifact, and the top 100% can get a low-grade artifact reward.

If a country has only one royal city and no territorial capital, this round will automatically merge with the previous round.

In winter, the top ten masters of all countries gather in the sky city to determine the "top ten masters in the world" in the form of a knockout round, and win the highest honor of "the first in the world".

The top ten in the world will be rewarded with at least one low-grade artifact, the first place will be 100% rewarded with a medium-grade artifact, and if the [Fuyuan] is profound, it may even directly obtain a high-grade artifact.

What's more, "No. 1 in the world" not only rewards individuals, but also rewards national honor points, and if it is said that adventure players also have the opportunity to "win glory for the country" like the lord.

As soon as this update came out, no one could resist such a temptation, whether it was a guild overlord, a mountain hermit, or a wandering knight.

As the saying goes: there is no first in literature, and there is no second in martial arts.

The competition between adventure players is already fierce, and now Gaia has given such a platform for fame and fortune, which directly pushes the competition between warriors to the highest peak.

Ouyang Shuo was more interested in the deep meaning behind Gaia's move.

Perhaps Gaia is already building momentum for the Planet of Hope, and in that album, Ouyang Shuo has seen the powerful individual creatures of the Planet of Hope, so he needs a group of heroes to throw their heads and spill their blood.

Advocating force will never become obsolete in times of war.

[12] Launched the Grandmaster Enlightenment System.

Gaia adheres to fairness, and the first three are mainly for combat professional players to benefit, and Gaia will naturally not be left out in the cold for a larger group of life professional players.

The so-called "Grandmaster Enlightenment" means that once a life professional player breaks through the bottleneck and is promoted to a grandmaster, he will receive an exclusive title and rich rewards without any additional conditions.

The reward standard is equivalent to the "Top Ten Masters in the World", when to be promoted, when to issue rewards.

As for the promotion to the highest level of "Divine Master", the reward standard is directly on par with the "Top Ten Masters in the World", and the first person to be promoted to the Divine Master will also receive a special award.

Gaia is still very sober, and the battle professional players are in the limelight, but what can really support the foundation of the game is still the batch of unknown life professional players.

Even if they arrive at the Planet of Hope, with ten years of tempering in the game, they can show their strengths, especially those grandmaster-level and even god-level talents, even if they arrive on the Planet of Hope, they can also take charge of themselves.

After watching this round of system updates in one go, Ouyang Shuo had mixed feelings, because he stood high enough, Ouyang Shuo could understand the intention behind Gaia.

"So, are you already stepping up preparations for Planet Hope?" Ouyang Shuo muttered to himself, "What unknown crisis is hidden on that mysterious planet that makes Gaia so vigilant?!" ”

No one could answer Ouyang Shuo.

At this moment, another system announcement sounded.

"World Announcement: On the occasion of the fourth anniversary of the operation of "Earth Online", the game will release the fourth expansion pack [Imperial Expedition], and players are requested to log on to the official website to view the specific content for themselves."

……

Ouyang Shuo took a deep breath, "The national war is really coming!" ”

The previous attack on Morocco and Somalia was just an individual act of Great Xia, and when the expansion was officially released, it meant that the era of a full-scale national war led by Gaia was officially coming.

Ouyang Shuo couldn't wait to check the relevant settings.

First, Gaia introduced the concept of a "national war month".

Since the beginning of the fifth year of Gaia, every June has been designated as the "National War Month" by Gaia, giving the month many conveniences.

FIRST, ONLY IN THE MONTH OF THE NATIONAL WAR CAN YOU ENJOY THE BUFF BROUGHT BY NATIONAL HONOR POINTS.

Great Xia has captured Star Kingdom, Morocco, and Somalia in succession, bringing 30 National Honor Points to China, which is equivalent to an optional 30% buff bonus, which is very remarkable.

Second, it is only in the month of the national war that the national borders that cannot be crossed geographically can become smooth.

Take the border between Bactria and Annam, for example, and it is now an endless, towering rocky mountain range that cannot be crossed. When it comes to June, it will magically turn the moat into a thoroughfare.

This alone was enough for Ouyang Shuo to make up his mind to completely solve the obscurity of Annan before June of the fifth year of Gaia, so as not to prevent Annan from jumping out to make trouble and attacking the hinterland of Great Xia during the national war.

Ouyang Shuo did not take advantage of the convenience of the national war, but attacked Annan.

As the saying goes: good steel is used on the blade. In the first month of the national war, with the will of the players in China, he didn't think about it at all, and he was determined to aim at Dongying, and Ouyang Shuo didn't want to make any extraneous branches.

Third, only in the month of the national war, can you enjoy the contribution point bonus.

Unlike the Great Xia attack on Morocco, the real national war is a big war with the participation of the whole people, just like a large-scale battle, with a setting of national war contribution points.

Whether it's capturing the flag or providing logistical reinforcements, the mighty Gaia will be able to assess the contribution value of each participant at the end of the battle.

The National War Contribution is basically similar to the Campaign Contribution Value, and the lord player can exchange it for merit points or resurrect dead troops; Adventure players can use it to offset reincarnations, or to exchange for items.

At that time, the National War Mall will be filled with a dazzling array of goods.

It can be said that after a national war, it will be a national carnival feast for the victorious country.

During the National War Month, players will enjoy a 50% bonus to the National War Contribution Points, and with this alone, no country will be foolish enough to start a National War at another time.

Gaia lured him to his advantage, just to turn June into a pure national war smash, and at other times he was either preparing for the national war or licking his wounds, so as not to let the national war occupy the drama of the whole year.

Secondly, the setting of the leader of the national war has also officially surfaced.

Each nation needs to choose a national war leader before the arrival of the national war month, which will represent the national war objectives, national war strategy, choose buff types, and coordinate the entire national war, etc.

On the official website, Gaia lists in detail the rights and obligations of the leaders of the national war.

At the end of the day, the player's first thought is that a good national war leader is worth thousands of troops, and a bad national war leader may drag them into the abyss.

So how to choose the leader of the national war? Very simple.

Gaia will open a voting channel in the national forum, one person, one vote, and by May 1, whoever gets the most votes will be the leader of the national war.

If two years ago, if he decided the leader of the national war in this way, Ouyang Shuo might not be able to defeat Emperor Chen, but now, Ouyang Shuo is basically nine out of ten.

Of course, if during this period, Ouyang Shuo insisted on provoking a "civil war" with the [Yanhuang League] and let Emperor Chen stand on the moral high ground, the result might not be the same.

Finally, it's about the setting of the national weapon.

History has deviated, the national weapon setting in this life is not the same as the previous life, according to Gaia's latest national weapon setting, each country has a basic national weapon.

Every time the number of national honor points exceeds 100, a new national weapon will be born.

Except in special circumstances, one hundred national honor points is equal to the destruction of ten countries, and even if the game is over, there will not be a few countries that can have a second national weapon.

The basic national weapon in China is nothing else, it is the sword of the Holy Dao [Xuanyuan Sword], which ranks first among the top ten famous swords, and this sword is not a secret, it is being held by the Yellow Emperor.

With the last time the Yanhuang tribe sent an envoy to congratulate the founding of the Great Xia Dynasty, it is no secret that the two major tribes have been in place.

Even so, no one dared to covet the Xuanyuan Sword and engage in any tricks.

Interestingly, Gaia stipulates that if the leader of the national war can go out with the national weapon, he will automatically receive a blessing of national fortune, which will be beneficial to the national war.

I'm afraid this is also a test for the leader of the national war, and even Ouyang Shuo is not sure.
