Chapter 299: Open Beta Update
System upgrade, I haven't encountered it in a long time. Xu Lin thought back that when he first got the system, he didn't even have the realm of transforming into gods, but now he has joined the Dao, which really feels like a world away.
The last upgrade gave Xu Lin the permission to publish tasks remotely, and I don't know what will change in this upgrade. Maybe, after this upgrade, Xu Lin will be able to get the system reward?!
It turned out that Xu Lin was thinking too much.
[After the system upgrade is completed, the original function remains unchanged, and the division of forces function is added.] The host can adjust the existing forces on their own and correspond to the tasks according to the characteristics of the forces. If you don't set it, it will be automatically generated according to the system. 】
Well, it's better to send a task. Xu Lin is also helpless, even if he has joined the Tao and become a real land immortal, there is still no way to deal with this system.
The system interface was still directly projected in front of his eyes, and he couldn't touch it, but he could control it with his mind, but he didn't feel the slightest fluctuation of mana. But there is always a reason for all visions, mana should already be the most magical power in the world, why is this system still not related to mana?
I can't figure it out, but Xu Lin is also used to it, this system is so powerful, he can only accept it silently.
After taking a look at the division of forces prompted by the system, several spheres of influence have been divided according to the general trend of the world. The biggest is naturally the Wu Dynasty force, with the court officials as the main members, as long as the player interacts with the officials in the court system and completes the other party's commission, they can improve the favorability of the corresponding NPC and gain the prestige of the corresponding force.
Fame can be used to redeem rewards, and it can also be used to trigger more difficult missions.
The list of rewards is all ellipses, and Xu Lin can't see it, but he can see the content of the tasks automatically generated by the system. From sending letters and running errands, to assisting in the suppression of bandits, etc., there is already a very clear level distribution, and even Xu Lin, an NPC, can understand it at a glance.
And Xu Lin also discovered that the extermination of the Imperial Sword Gate is now the highest-level task among the imperial court forces.
"Huh." Xu Lin sneered, and then changed this task, changing "exterminating the Imperial Sword Gate" to "assisting the Imperial Sword Gate to get rid of the crime of anti-thief".
That's right, having a system is doing whatever you want.
After reading the power of the imperial court, Xu Lin made some adjustments to the details of some of the tasks in it, adding more tasks to protect the territory and the people, and catching those Jiangyang thieves who kill people like hemp and do all kinds of evil will gain more prestige, while the harvest of running errands for court officials or bullying good people will be greatly reduced.
Through this quest system, Xu Lin can guide players to do some good deeds that benefit the people. He can't be a saint himself, but Xu Lin also hopes that there are more saints in this world, the better.
Next are the major martial arts sects and clan forces in various places, and these divisions are also very interesting. In addition to the entire sect as a force, there is also an internal division of surnames and clans.
Just like Xu Lin himself, not only belongs to the Imperial Sword Sect, but also belongs to a member of the Ranshan Xu family, accepting tasks from him, it is possible for the prestige of both sides to grow.
The Five Immortal Sect is more interesting, it seems to be too deeply related to the countries of the Western Regions, and the internal forces are distinguished by these small countries.
For this enemy, of course Xu Lin is not polite, he will transfer the task of the Five Immortal Sect to as difficult as it is, and transfer it to Duo Strange as it is, in short, he will go to play people specially.
It's just that when he was adjusting, Xu Lin found another situation. His apprentice, the Doudi powerhouse, was so terrifying that he had even become a dual identity. is not only a disciple of the Imperial Sword Sect, but also has become the "Holy Son" of the Five Immortals Sect.
"What the hell is this, the Five Immortals Sect doesn't only have saints?" Xu Lin didn't think that his apprentice had betrayed the Imperial Sword Gate, he asked himself if he knew a few of his apprentices, this must have triggered some strange task.
After thinking about it, Xu Lin simply took the apprentice as the mission goal, and designed a few tasks to make trouble for the Five Immortal Sect, hoping to solve this problem as soon as possible.
The other sects were okay, but when they came to Baiyun Temple, Xu Lin found many abnormal places. There is no subtle division of forces within the Baiyun Temple, which seems to be a bit unusual.
Even Tianluo Temple is divided into Arhat Hall and Dharma Hall, and there is only one force above and below Baiyun Temple. The second is that the main Ram Daoist of Baiyun Guan Guan does not belong to the Baiyun Guan forces.
"When you look at the Lord, you don't belong to the White Cloud Temple? What's wrong with this ram Taoist? Xu Lin remembered that the Supreme Master of Tianluo Temple had reminded him to be careful of Baiyun Temple before, and it was mostly related to this Ram Daoist.
Xu Lin worked for a long time, and finally adjusted it almost completely. Thanks to the fact that the system originally came with a complete task list, otherwise it would take more than a month for Xu Lin to design one by one.
Just after Xu Lin finished revising and saving the new force mission, a new announcement appeared on the game forum again.
[Notice of the three major updates of the open beta]
[1: After the open beta is opened, the reputation system will be opened, and you will gain reputation by completing the corresponding faction's missions.] Fame can be exchanged for consumables, special items, and faction-specific martial arts skills. For details, please check the distribution chart below. 】
[Click to view the distribution of forces and corresponding tasks]
[2: The merit and sin system has been strengthened, and the player's krypton regeneration function will be removed.] Death penalty changed to 1 hour of playtime for Weakened state. All stats are reduced by 60% while weak, recovering by 1% per minute, and can be restored offline.
[The weakened state cannot be eliminated with kryptonite, but it can be reduced with merit.] If the merit is negative, the duration of weakness will increase according to the value of sin, and the proportion of attribute decrease will also increase accordingly. 】
[PS: Death punishment will not offset sins, only good deeds can offset sins. 】
[3: In order to facilitate the leveling of new players, the process of player promotion tasks is simplified, and players without sects can also give cheats to break through the realm of gods by their own cultivation system, and they can also cultivate to the realm of returning to the void by collecting other martial arts cheats.
[Martial arts cheats can be obtained from NPCs, and they can also be comprehended by themselves from immortal caves all over the world.] It's just that most of the Immortal Cave Mansion is risky, so players are requested to enter as a team as much as possible. 】
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and this update announcement once again sparked a heated discussion among players.
Everyone agrees that this update is good for all players, the most obvious is that the task trigger has become simpler, and there is no need to fight hard to fight for character to fool around.
As long as you find the NPC of the corresponding force, you will naturally be able to trigger the corresponding mission.
At the same time, the permission to regenerate krypton gold has been removed, further reducing the gap between local tyrant players and ordinary players. Otherwise, PK will cost three or five thousand, and civilian players will have no game experience at all.
The enhancement of the merit and sin system is also a good thing, and most of the players belong to the camp of order neutrality and like to play the game step by step.
There are very few players who are actually ready to kill people and slaughter cities in the game, but the peculiarities of this game have a particularly strong impact on evil players.
The key NPCs of other online games are invincible, and the player cannot attack. However, all NPCs in this game can be killed, and the death of one player will greatly affect the experience of other players.
It's like you're halfway through a mission, but a key NPC is killed, what do you want the player to do? Maybe this evil player is still a local tyrant, and you can't do anything about him if Krypton is reborn.
Now remove Kryptonite respawn and increase the weakened state, which makes those evil players more scheming. Once the sin is too high, death is not something that can be solved in a few hours, and it may take days to be weak in the game
And you can't wash away your sins when you die, you have to do good deeds, which makes players even more afraid to do evil easily.
Overall, this update is to provide many offers for new players, minimizing their chances of being run over by old players.
Everyone is gearing up, carefully studying the distribution map of the distribution of forces, preparing to seize the opportunity at the beginning of the open beta.
There is no doubt that Edgeworth Gate will always be a popular force. Now in the TOP10 videos of the game "Xianwu Battle", eight of them are related to the Imperial Sword Gate, and the remaining two are still the barbarian travels of the Imperial Sword Gate disciple Huangfu Tie Niu. This popularity has made Edgeworth Gate the first choice for new players.
There are 100,000 new players, and it is estimated that 30,000 of them will choose Kongsang Mountain as their birthplace, and then desperately go to the mission of the Edgeworth.
Xu Lin didn't know that tens of thousands of players would pour in next, otherwise he would never choose to leave the Imperial Sword Gate at this time. He was rushing to the barbarians, and picking up his apprentice Huangfu Tie Niu was just incidental, and his real idea was to take the heads of the barbarian king and the leaders of the tribes and give them to the king of Zhaoyang as a gift.
King Zhaoyang wants to destroy the Imperial Sword Gate, because he is afraid that the world will be in chaos, and the alien race will invade immediately. In fact, the internal problems of the Wu Dynasty have always existed, as long as there is no external pressure, everything can be discussed slowly, without playing the means of cutting through the mess with a quick knife.
So Xu Lin's idea was very simple, King Zhaoyang was afraid that the alien race would make trouble, so he would solve the alien race in advance. After killing the barbarian king and the leaders of the barbarian tribes, the barbarians should not want to be stable for at least fifty years, and naturally they could not afford to use troops against the Wu Dynasty.
Next, go to the Five Immortal Sect and destroy the Five Immortal Sect, and the countries of the Western Regions will go around, and they will naturally not dare to invade the Wu Dynasty. The foreign threat was solved, and the two major credits were here, and Xu Lin felt that it was enough to sanitize the charge of killing the emperor.
Anyway, what the imperial court wants is the stability of the overall situation, and Xu Lin has already joined forces at this time, so he represents the overall situation. Focusing on the overall situation, of course, Xu Lin must be the most important, and he also offered these two credits, I believe that King Zhaoyang will not be embarrassed with him again.
The only problem is time.
Even if the King of Zhaoyang delayed any longer, he would definitely come to Kongsang Mountain in three months, so Xu Lin had to solve the problem between the barbarians and the Western Regions within three months. He went to the barbarians in person, because it was closer, and he knew more about the barbarians.
As for the Western Regions, it can only rely on the player. Hopefully, his revised task list will be able to speed up the collapse of the Five Immortals Sect.
"Xiaoqiang, look at your performance!" Xu Lin thought to himself.
The terrifying Emperor Dou was still locked up in the dungeon of the Five Immortal Sect at this time, and it was strange to say that he himself didn't know when he became the "Holy Son" of the Five Immortal Sect. From the beginning of being captured, to now, the terrifying Emperor Dou is just repeating the process of being bloodlet and poisoned, and no one has come to say anything to him.
Even when he went offline, the system prompted him that he was in a special state and could not be completely offline, so he could only quit the game in the form of hang-up.
This retreat is several days, and the Doudi powerhouse has never been able to wait for the opportunity that Huangfu Tie Niu said. Today, I saw the forum prompting the game update, and the Doudi powerhouse was so terrifying that he simply brushed up the forum, and he didn't bother to look at the game status anymore.
He thought to himself, if he waited until the open beta was opened, he would be locked up, so he would simply delete the number and repractice, anyway, he had a relationship with the Imperial Sword Gate, and it would not be a problem to worship under Xu Lin's door again.
Thinking about it, it seems that today has finally come to a turning point.
Two elders of the Five Immortals Sect came to the dungeon, untied him, and then took him out of the dungeon. The Dou Emperor powerhouse was still in an extremely weak state, so he couldn't resist and was taken to the main altar of the Five Immortals Sect.
After passing through several gloomy corridors, the terrifying Emperor Dou was taken to a large hall surrounded by green ghost fire.
The relief of the five poisons in the center is particularly hideous, and it makes people's hearts hairy. And under the sculpture of the five poisons, there is a young woman. This man looked very young, but he sat on the throne of the Sect Master in the center.
It is not surprising that the Doudi powerhouse is terrifying, he has soaked in the water of the fairy pool, and now he is also in a state of eternal youth, and even the function of pinching his face has been sealed. The leader of the Five Immortals Sect has naturally soaked in the water of the fairy pool.
"Your name is Xiao Yan?" The Five Immortals Sect Leader asked.
The Dou Emperor powerhouse was terrifying, thinking to himself, if he could shout this name, the rich man before had probably confessed. However, he didn't know his true identity either, so the identity of the disciple of the Edgeworth Sect probably hadn't been revealed yet.
It's normal to think about it, the Five Immortals Sect is too far away, and the Dou Emperor powerhouse is terrifying and not famous, so it's normal to not know.
Therefore, the Doudi powerhouse was terrifying and replied: "It is under the bottom, no matter if the leader of the Five Immortals Sect wants to kill or chop, you can do whatever you want." ”
"Why did you infiltrate my cult stronghold?" The Five Immortals Sect Leader asked.
"No comment."
The Dou Di powerhouse is terrifying and doesn't want to explain, anyway, after he dies, he is weak for an hour and he is a good man, and now he even saves krypton. So, die early and live early. Wait an hour later and then come and kill the two Five Immortal Sect elders, then you will be able to complete the task in no time.
"Well, since you want to seek death, I will fulfill you and send him to the Spider Mother Palace." The leader of the Five Immortals Sect commanded.
As soon as he heard this name, the Doudi powerhouse felt terrified in his heart, it wouldn't be sent to feed the poisonous spiders. I heard that a long time ago, a very vicious woman devised a punishment called a pot, which was to throw people into a pit full of poisonous snakes.
"Forget it, it doesn't matter if you're bitten to death by a spider, it doesn't hurt anyway." The Dou Emperor powerhouse was terrifying, comforting himself and said.
Who would have thought that the imaginary spider pit did not appear, but he was taken to a place that looked like a woman's boudoir, and then thrown on the soft bed.
"What's going on?" The Dou Emperor powerhouse was terrified and puzzled, but he saw that the leader of the Five Immortal Sect he had just seen was dressed in a light veil, revealing a graceful ...... Mosaic, walking towards him.
