Chapter 136: Comprehensive Strengthening
Looking at the number that appeared on the mobile phone screen in front of him, Wang Hao's mind once again resurfaced that delicate and bright face.
This call was half a month earlier than expected.
He didn't know if it had anything to do with what he was doing in the UK, and he didn't want to think about it.
Many things have been chosen at the beginning, and there is no turning back.
Wang Hao pressed the answer button, and it was almost time to make a cut.
On the other end of the line, apart from a soft nasal sound at the moment the call was connected, there was silence.
For more than ten seconds, they could only hear each other's breathing.
It seems that Wang Hao has a feeling that history repeats itself, and he is very familiar with this silence and understands it very well.
I'm afraid the other party is thinking about how to phrase it better, right?
And what about him, should he show his exhaustion, or show a gentlemanly demeanor and face it indifferently?
Last time he was the latter, and now he ...... He knew that this strange and awkward atmosphere would not last long.
"Hao, let's break up."
The soft voice sounded in his ears, and the corners of Wang Hao's mouth curled, and he still made such a direct opening statement.
I remember the last time he heard this, his mind suddenly went blank, and he was stunned for a few minutes.
It's a nightmare memory.
On the other side of the sea, a woman as beautiful as a flower looked at the picture frame on the table attentively, and the scene in the photo was once their best memory.
It's all in the past.
A flash of determination flashed on Fang Lingxue's beautiful cheeks, and she swept the photo frame into the box that had already been prepared.
The box was full of testimonies of the two of them who had walked together.
"Well, hopefully he can bring you the happiness you want."
Hearing the man's low and slightly sentimental words, Fang Lingxue thought that she had long forgotten about this man.
But when she heard the man's familiar voice, her heart couldn't help but throb.
Maybe she's a bad woman, and after discovering that the man is not as sad as she imagined, her guilt is lessened, but it is replaced by another emotion.
"He's good, better than you."
Hearing the woman's angry voice, Wang Hao completely let go.
Now Yang Zhe has begun to emerge in China, and he deserves the title of talented and promising, so he must be very valued by Fang's father.
Didn't I insist on going abroad for the sake of this?
There is no need to say these to the other party, Wang Hao shook his head, and his voice became soft again, "I wish you happiness." ”
Thinking of the last world, she often appeared in various magazine news, noble and beautiful, like a goddess, just a smile squeezed out of the corners of her eyes, is that really happiness?
Wang Hao didn't know, and this was not something he should worry about.
Calm returned on the phone, and he knew that this was Fang Lingxue's revenge on him.
He doesn't have the habit of hanging up on girls' phones.
Perhaps, make an exception today?
He used to think that today's words would be difficult to say, but it turns out that time can indeed erase everything.
"You already knew, didn't you? Those good brothers of yours have come to me, and it was your order, right? Wang Hao, I hate you. ”
A woman's emotions are really hard to guess, even if it is a girlfriend who has been dating for seven or eight years, Wang Hao still can't see what the other party is thinking.
Obviously, he was the victim, and it took him more than a year to get out of that experience in his previous life.
One thing, he was sure, at least the other party had never said such a thing in his previous life.
This relationship is completely over, and Wang Hao is unwilling to spend his energy on it anymore.
Throwing his phone aside, he began to log into his account on the One Piece Forum.
As the in-game information is constantly updated, his advantages will be gradually compressed, so it is important to recharge himself at all times.
Since the system is being updated, people who can't log in to the game have to soak in the forums.
At this time, the forum is also the most popular.
Wang Hao found a post on the forum, which seemed to be a list of the world's top 100 famous artists.
He was stunned for a moment before he remembered it.
What is the world's top 100 list, many players may not understand this statement in later generations, but another name, WCG personal competition list, must be heard of in detail.
This Top 100 Celebrity List is the predecessor of the WCG Rankings, the difference is that the former is a player audition, and the latter is recognized by professional associations.
In layman's terms, one is a folk ranking, and the other is officially recognized.
With the hot release of One Piece, the status of those who can enter the WCG list has also skyrocketed.
And Wang Hao found that in the British Forum, his name has also entered the selection list, and judging from the current voting, the support rate is not low.
However, voting among players is not regulated at the moment, and these things cannot be done really.
Wang Hao doesn't remember that it was the update, and the official gave a clear election method, selecting the world's best top 100 gamers, and formulating rankings according to many conditions such as votes, personal records, and fame.
That's where WCG comes in.
It is also regarded as the clarion call for the coming spring of professional gamers.
On top of that, the most popular posts on the forums are about quest first-kill topics.
A Ukrainian player came forward to say that he blew up the identity of the bounty thief, accused Wang Hao and others of using cheating props, and called on the official to impose sanctions, which was echoed by many people.
In fact, the game officials naturally ignore the commotion of these people.
Some people who are really overdone have been directly blocked from the forum account.
After this incident, people from other countries have become much more honest, and with the wisdom of the masses, the props that Wang Hao once used were quickly revealed.
This is actually not difficult, and many players have seen the arrest warrant in practice, but they don't know what it actually does.
"It seems that after the system is updated, many large guilds will be eager to go to the next one."
Wang Hao thought a little distractedly, even if he can't get the first place in the world, it would be good to get the first kill in China, which is still very beneficial to the development of the major guilds.
This time, the system was updated quickly, exceeding many players' expectations.
As someone yells on the forum, "It's on." ”
The army of sailors who were still raging turned into birds and scattered.
After Wang Hao landed in the game, he was immediately shocked by the official company's generosity.
The update is not a star.
Some minor adjustments were directly omitted, and the following ones aroused Wang Hao's idea:
First of all, it is the official emphasis that in this upgrade, the AI of the aborigines has been greatly improved, and it is hoped that players can strengthen their interaction with the aborigines.
Secondly, the system opens up the sea arena, where players can play, 1v1, 3v3, 5v5, and even large team battles, so that players can enjoy the passion brought to mankind by giant ships and cannons.
Finally, the highlight of the update, the official announcement that a massive campaign will be launched after twelve game hours.
The event will be divided into three sections, namely Northern Europe, a large-scale battle against the backdrop of the Hundred Years' War between Britain and France;
the Mediterranean, set against the backdrop of the Battle of Lebando, the largest battle in Europe in the 16th century;
In East Asia, the Battle of Mingliang will be used as the backdrop.
The campaign will be held in a separate dungeon space, and players who are not directly participating countries can freely choose their faction.
For example, players from the United Kingdom and France cannot join the French camp as two sides of the campaign, and vice versa, but this does not affect the participation of players in other battles.
Of course, the players who do so are only a minority.
After seeing the content of the system announcement, Wang Hao heard cheers from near the dock.
Moreover, the surrounding NPCs have also changed significantly, they are no longer like puppets in the past, pointing at the players around them who are crying wolves, which seems to be very incomprehensible.
This is undoubtedly great news for players with the main plus charisma caste.
In the past, although players with high charisma could also get some more benefits in the hands of NPCs, it was not obvious.
But after this upgrade, the subjective surnames and permissions of NPCs have been greatly enhanced, and if someone treats them as puppets like before, it will definitely suffer a big loss.
These NPCs can't covet players' rewards, but they can adjust how good or bad they are within their power.
For example, the reward of the task is said to be a weapon, and the system gives three rewards, two whiteboards, and one green outfit.
Wang Hao estimated that in the initial period, I am afraid that many players will not be used to this change.
But he also knows that players will eventually embrace the change because it makes the game more realistic and life-like.
The second piece of content in the system update is also in line with the player's taste.
Since the ban on large-scale piracy, players have been left with a channel to vent.
Although duels can solve some of the needs, the cost of applying is still too expensive for the average player.
The Sea Arena was born in response to this need.
Players can freely enjoy PK here, whether it is heads-up, group battles, or team battles with more than 100 people, you can always find what you like here.
It is foreseeable that the sea arena will be very popular in the future.
As for the final historical battle that is about to begin, Wang Hao can only sigh that this is really a timely rain.
He knows more about the ins and outs than many players, and knows the risks and opportunities involved.
This is great news for him and for the newly born Polaroid company.
For this reason, Wang Hao declined the intention of going to the sea arena with everyone to join in the fun, but came to the dock again.
Today, he wants to spend all the money in his hand.
Wang Hao is not joking, now he has almost 300 gold coins in his hand, except for a few spares, he plans to spend all the rest on the "Drifting Snow".
All this is just to strengthen yourself as much as possible before participating in the battle.
The two extended positions were converted into gun positions, and 30 gold coins were spent, which was just the beginning.
Speaking of which, this enhanced version of the Venetian gunboat followed Wang Hao, but it was wronged, not only did it not give full play to its due firepower advantage, but it also did not gain the advantage of overwhelming surname in terms of surname, but it was worthy of its reputation as the strongest warship among the second-order ships.
Each ship has ten opportunities to be transformed, Wang Hao has never done this before, some out of financial considerations, but more because he feels that his current strength is enough to deal with general problems.
But this time the historical battle is different, he has to face players from all over the world, which forces him to show his strongest form.
After that phone call in the morning, it is impossible to say that he did not have the slightest idea in his heart.
The more this is the case, the more he will have to make a name for himself.
And this event is the most suitable stage.
Napoleon of France, Merlin, the immortal commander of Germany, and the geniuses of various countries all showed their talents in this event and were recognized by the whole world.
At this moment, Wang Hao admitted that he was moved.
The wrinkles on the old shipwright's face were even more, and he commanded the apprentices below to pound and pound on the ship, without stopping for a moment.
It will obviously take a lot of time to transform the two gun emplacements together.
Wang Hao's eyes wandered around the shipyard at random, but he didn't expect to see an acquaintance.
A somewhat obese figure, trembling on the wall of the ship, seemed to be polishing the position of the gun door.
When the man raised his head, Wang Hao couldn't help but show a trace of astonishment on his face, this fat man was none other than the professional businessman Li Tong Quartet who had slaughtered him before.
Although this guy's behavior used to be very unpleasant to him, now that he looks back, he feels a little funny.
Once upon a time, I was worried about a few silver coins, and I couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
If I'm not mistaken, UBI should be an apprentice here.
It's just like the other party, there are also two situations, one is equivalent to being a temporary worker, helping the shipyard to do things, and you can get a meager income.
The other is that they want to learn a craft, whether it is to learn shipbuilding technology, or to learn the skills of craftsmen by walking shit, no matter what they learn, they will not worry about having no place to eat after going out.
These are rare talents, and many forward-thinking guilds are recruiting vigorously.
But it is not easy to learn these skills, not only to work for the shipyard, but also to build relationships with old shipwrights, and even to risk working in vain.
Looking at the old shipwright's indifferent attitude towards the Litong Quartet, Wang Hao knew that this matter was enough.
At the same time, he was also very curious about why the other party, who was very economically minded, would fall into this situation.
Litong Quartet obviously didn't recognize Wang Hao, he had seen too many people in the game, so naturally it was impossible for everyone to know him, and the faces of Oriental people looked similar to him.
After receiving today's salary, he staggered towards the gate with his back a little back.
Seeing this, Wang Hao hesitated slightly, but finally did not speak.
At this time, the transformation of the "Drifting Snow" was also nearing completion.
Looking at the two extra gun positions above, the smile on Wang Hao's face remained unchanged, and he waved his big hand, "Basic attack strengthened." ”
"Base Speed Enhancement."
"Foundation Durability Strengthened."
“……”
A lot of gold coins were spent, and Wang Hao vowed to build the "Drifting Snow" into a giant sea fortress. (To be continued.) )
