According to Gaia's setting, five sect martial arts halls are allowed to be opened in the first-level county, ten in the second-level county, and fifteen in the third-level county. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

As for the highest-level capital, twenty-five sect martial arts halls are allowed to be opened.

It should be noted that the sect martial arts hall is not the same as the sect. Although the sect martial arts hall appears in the royal city or the player city, each sect needs to appear in the wilderness one by one according to the change of dynasties.

The sect martial arts hall is only a warm-up version of the sect, and what is taught is only the basic martial arts of each sect.

Shanhai City is now a third-level county town, and Ouyang Shuo can choose fifteen sect martial arts halls. Five sects are mandatory, and the remaining ten places have to be carefully considered.

The Spear Gate, the Eight Pole Gate, and the Five Tiger Gates, the three sects that have their roots in Shanhai City, are naturally to be chosen. Then there are the five major schools of Xingyi Gate, Wufeng Dao Gate, Yaowang Gate, Yizi Hui Sword Gate and Sichuan Tang Gate.

For the last two places, Ouyang Shuo chose the free faction and the overseas faction.

Ouyang Shuo's choices are not untargeted, they are all sects that may cooperate with Shanhai City in the future. As for those who can't get along with the territory of Shanhai City, even if they choose, they are fed to the white-eyed wolf.

Other territories, I'm afraid they all choose the same way.

…………

In addition to the four major updates, there are five relatively fragmentary updates.

[5] Increases marching speed.

Since the player's territory has expanded to a certain size, the march on the road takes too long, and it starts to be counted in months. Gaia decided to increase the base marching speed of all units by a factor of five at once.

This means that whether it is infantry, cavalry, or sailors, and even the grain transport team, their marching speed has increased by five times in one go. What used to be a month-long trip now takes only a few days.

Not only that, if there is a territorial characteristic blessing, including the general's specialty blessing, it is a secondary blessing on the basis of five times the base speed.

In other words, the real marching speed may be increased by six or seven times, or even seven or eight times. In this way, the factor of expanding the game map tenfold is basically eliminated.

In the future, when the time is right, Gaia will probably increase the speed of the basic march again, laying the groundwork for the complete elimination of the popular teleportation tactics in the wilderness.

Ouyang Shuo could not accurately assess the impact of this update on the ongoing Yunnan War.

At least one, the Left Route Army under the command of Bai Qi can greatly speed up the attack on Mengding County. And for the [Yunnan City-State], which relies on teleportation tactics, I'm afraid it's not good news.

[6] Cancel the territory area attribute.

Previously, the area option in the territory attribute bar did not match the actual area of the territory. This situation is not limited to Shanhai City, most of the territory is now like this.

As a result, Gaia simply removed the chicken rib attribute.

[7] Further slowing down the pace of construction of buildings.

The construction speed of buildings in the game has a special bonus, which is much faster than the construction speed in reality. In reality, a house that takes half a year to build can be built in a few days in the game.

This update has slowed down the construction speed slightly. The construction time of each building has increased by at least three times, and in some cases by five or six times.

It's not just construction that's slowing down, but ships, artillery, and so on, all of which have been forced to slow down. Previously, it only took half a month for Shanhaicheng Shipyard to build a building ship.

Now I'm afraid it will take more than a month and a half, or even two months.

It will have a huge impact on the shipbuilding industry of Shanhai City and greatly reduce production.

This is also to be closer to reality, and at the same time, it also increases the cost of territorial construction in disguise. Especially for the territorial infrastructure, it is a huge challenge.

All the lord can do is keep climbing the tech tree to make it more efficient.

Gaia's move can be regarded as well-intentioned.

[8] Changes to alliance settings.

Provinces that have already formed a city-state or joined an alliance may not be allied with a city-state or a province outside the alliance. For example, this kind of cooperation between [Yanhuang League] and [Yunnan City-State] will not be allowed in the future.

Similarly, Shanhai City cannot ally with members outside of the [Shanhai Alliance]. Unless the member is included in the scope of the [Shanhai Alliance], it is not considered a violation.

For example, the [Mediterranean Alliance] formed by Shanhai City in the Mediterranean, including the [Shanhai Alliance-Phoenix Alliance] formed by Phoenix Prisoner, can be regarded as illegal operations.

Where a cross-alliance has already arisen, Gaia will not deal with it on the basis of its consistent principles.

[9] Unlock more manufacturing technologies.

In the wilderness, every manual of manufacturing techniques is extremely precious and treasured by the lords. Because of the scarcity of technical manuals, the gap in technical level between territories is too large.

Taking Shanhai City as an example, Shanhai City's weaponry has already surpassed that of other territories by a large margin. It also enjoys a lot of patented technologies, such as shipbuilding, artillery, etc., in order to form a technological monopoly and make huge profits.

Obviously, in Gaia's eyes, this technological advantage should be slightly controlled by Gaia's four years.

As a result, Gaia will be dropping a lot of technical manuals into the wilderness in the coming days. As long as the lords have the heart, some regular technical manuals can be obtained.

The intention is to break down technical barriers and promote the improvement of the overall technical level of the wilderness. For Shanhai City, the era of dividends formed by virtue of technical manuals is about to fade away, and it will never return.

Gaia's move is not inauthentic.

After all, compared to the "low" cost of Shanhai City to obtain technical manuals, the profits earned are already very considerable, and you really can't be greedy to monopolize it forever.

Gaia's real intention was to urge the territories not to stick to the rules, but to build on the ancient technical manuals and build on the new level, so as to form a new technological advantage.

The whole process promotes the scientific and technological research and development strength of the territory.

In the future, when it comes to the Planet of Hope, the lords need to deal with all kinds of unknown challenges, and there is no future for sticking to the rules. Combined with the planetary environment, secondary research and development is the right way.

Ouyang Shuo previously established an equipment research and development center and set up an industrial department, which is the intention. Taking weapons and equipment as an example, by the time the Tang knife forging technology was popularized in the wilderness, Shanhai City had already developed an upgraded version of the Tang knife.

In this way, the technological advantage can still be maintained. And this advantage is that Gaia cannot take it back, nor can it settle for other territories. In modern terms, this is the exclusive core technology, which is unique.

This is the advantage of rebirth, without this kind of foresight, how can Shanhai City be one step ahead of everything.

Of course, this update is undoubtedly a major benefit for other lieges. If done properly, in a short period of time, they can greatly shorten the gap with giants like Shanhai City.

Shanhai City can also take this opportunity to supplement the technical shortcomings of the territory, such as glass manufacturing technology, rubber manufacturing technology and other technologies that are not currently available.

It can also be regarded as an enlightenment for the industrialization of the territory.

…………

After checking the system update, Ouyang Shuo was also emotional. The biggest benefit of this round of updates is still the adventure player, and for the lord player, whether it is good or bad cannot be accurately evaluated, and it varies from person to person.

Unlike other games, Gaia's update is basically not a patch, but more content as the game progresses, so as to enrich the entire game world.

At the same time, there is also a big principle, which is to cultivate and train more powerful "lords". Without understanding this supreme principle, it is impossible to understand the updates that Gaia has introduced.

Gaia, as the host of the Federation, has actually been improving "Earth Online". The perfect data foundation is the gaming activities of hundreds of millions of players in the game.

So in addition to the annual routine update, some details have been updated unconsciously. For example, the adjustment of the forum section, the fine-tuning of the weather system, the adjustment of the ecosystem, and so on.

Just as Ouyang Shuo was closing the forum, there was a sudden sound of system prompts in his ears.

"System prompt: Wangcheng Chengdu/Dali will set the relationship between Shanhai City as hostile, and the relationship between the two sides will be automatically assessed as [hostile], please be aware of it."

“……”

Looking at it this way, the Dali court doesn't seem to agree with Shanhai City's attack on [Yunnan City-State]. Thinking that when Shanhai City was promoted to the capital in the future, it would have to be recognized by the Dali Imperial Court, Ouyang Shuo had a headache.

"System prompt: The relationship between Wangcheng Kyoto/Jianye/Xiangyang/Chang'an is set to neutral, and the relationship between the two parties is automatically assessed as [neutral], please be aware of it."

The four royal cities have not yet been settled by emperors, and setting them as neutral is not unexpected by Ouyang Shuo.

"System prompt: The relationship between Wangcheng Quanzhou/Xianyang/Luoyang and Shanhai City is set to friendly, and the relationship between the two parties is automatically assessed as [friendly], please be aware of it."

Quanzhou has close business contacts with Shanhai City, and with the bond of Mazu, it is normal to set it as [friendly]. It's just that Ouyang Shuo didn't expect that Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also had a good impression of Shanhai City, and he was really a little flattered, thinking that it was related to Bai Qi, Xiao He, Huo Quzhi and others.

************

Ouyang Shuo was about to go to the Prayer Silver Building, when another system announcement sounded.

"System announcement: On the occasion of the third anniversary of the operation of "Earth Online", the game will release the third expansion pack [Wulin Fengyun], for specific content, please log in to the official website to view."

……

As soon as the announcement came out, the rivers and lakes that countless adventure players, especially chivalrous players, had been looking forward to, finally came!

Interested players will associate the system update that has just been released with the expansion. Isn't the opening of the sect martial arts hall the prelude to the [Martial Arts Storm]?!

Gaia's choice to release this expansion at this time was also useful.

The battle has passed through the Three Kingdoms, followed by the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Sui and Tang Dynasties, and the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. During this period, the sprouts of various factions in martial arts were slowly blooming.

As the battle progresses, there will continue to be sects appearing in the wilderness, and the wind and clouds will meet.
