On December 22, 2025, the world's popular thriller mystery action game "Strange Palace" officially held its public beta. After the four-hour maintenance update is over, whether it is the old fritters from the closed beta or the 'recruits' who are about to enlist, players are flocking in like a tide, and all lines are almost full. In order to re-stabilize the service system, Sky Company had to adopt the method of limited number login, and it was tossed until the evening when Zhen Shifeng finally entered the game.

[Neural connections are being reset]

[Neural connection is about to start, please wait ......]

[Game login number: 70487 is logging, game cabin number: 761348 adjusted to loading mode]

[Welcome to the Hall of Strangeness, and you will be transported to your personal landing center]

When the sound fell, a piercing roar suddenly sounded in my ears, and for a moment the surroundings trembled violently like an earthquake. After a long time, as a white light lit up, the scene of the personal center was presented in front of Zhen Shifeng.

"Huh? The scene layout here really hasn't changed at all, but no matter how bad it is, a setting like a welcome ceremony is in line with the concept of the game's open beta, right? ”

However, as soon as the words fell, the lights in the personal center were all extinguished instantly, accompanied by the dense drum beat, a more dazzling white light was immediately cast on Brother Feng's body, as if the heavyweight was about to appear, and the system sound sounded at the same time: "Welcome 70487 beta players are really crazy to log in to the personal center, this game has been updated to version 3.0, please read the update carefully before entering the script, I wish you a happy game!" ”

"Well, that's just the right time." Zhen Shifeng really vomited a big groove in his heart.

As the system says, the open beta update of "Hall of Strange Places" has indeed undergone earth-shaking changes, and a large number of expansion systems have been established on top of the original basic applications. So while Zhen Shifeng is reading the updated content, let's take a look at it in advance.

This update is roughly divided into three parts, namely: the unlocking of basic stats, the application of skill stats, and the creation of interactive areas.

The basic values, including game experience, health, stamina, game currency, and natural attributes, have all been unlocked after the open beta. The first four of them don't need to be introduced too much, every time a player clears a script, the system will give the corresponding experience and gold rewards, and the game level will also increase with the accumulation of experience points, as for the health and physical strength will increase according to the relevant level. In other words, fighting monsters and leveling up is still a constant rule that runs through all online games.

Aside from these four items, the rest of the natural stat values are a bit puzzling, and in fact they are a basic value that Sky has set to further enhance the game's combat mechanics. Ordinary natural attributes are divided into five categories, Feng Shui Yan mines, after successfully passing the two scripts, the system will determine the appropriate natural attributes according to the player's various performances in the script, so that whether it is a skill or props, as long as a small amount of physical strength is consumed, the corresponding natural effects can be attached, of course, each natural attribute also has a special hidden skill, which requires the player to unlock the corresponding level before it can be used.

In addition to the above basic values, the game also adds three additional special skill value settings, namely: intelligence level, combat level, and summon level, each of which is ranked from low to high according to seven levels from G to A.

In fact, in the process of the player's game script, the system collects information and data related to it all the time to establish the corresponding data network library, and when a certain data reaches the set requirements, the level will be triggered. For example, in the previous duel between Zhen Shifeng and Thor in the script of "City of Gathering Souls", assuming that the level of each skill value of the two is G, then after a confrontation, the powerful Thor is likely to increase his combat level to F through the accumulation of combat data, while Zhen Shifeng, who wins by wisdom, can improve his intelligence level by one level.

So what is the use of skill levels, is it just a reference value for the player's strength? Actually, it's not, maybe interested readers have already noticed that there will be a 'condition of use' attached to the skill description during the closed beta, which is either temporarily locked or none. However, after the open beta, all skills in the game, including special skills attached to items, will be unlocked, and can only be activated after reaching a certain skill value to meet the use conditions. In other words, even if the player with the anti-heaven skill has not yet met the corresponding value level, it is a piece of waste wood, so that the playability and competitiveness of the game will be greatly enhanced.

As for the summoning level, since this item is relatively special, I will explain it in detail in the future when certain situations arise.

The last big part is the creation of interactive areas, but before we do that, let's take a look at what has changed to the original six basic options on the board. Among them, the 'Enter Game' and 'Exit Link' have been merged together, the 'Refining and Synthesis Room' has been unlocked at the same time, and the 'Mall' has been changed to 'Fantasy City', in addition to adding a new 'Training Ground'. As a result, the basic options are now 'Enter (Log Out', 'Storage', 'Fantasy City', 'Refining and Crafting Room', 'Miscellaneous', and 'Training Ground'.

The training ground, as the name suggests, is a place where players can test various items and skills, and although there are still rules on the conditions of use, there are no restrictions on the cost of values.

Seeing this, Zhen Shifeng suddenly remembered the legendary prop that was handed to him at the same time when vodka was commissioned - the Book of Demon Hunting.

"If I remember correctly, the effect of that item was unlocked after the game's open beta, right?" Zhen Shifeng couldn't help but feel excited, after all, it was a legendary-level prop, who knew what kind of special ability it would have.

Just do it, Zhen Shifeng immediately put down what he was doing and entered the storage room to get the book of demon hunting, on the surface, it was just an old book with a musty smell, and after opening it, it was full of dense ancient spells. However, unlike before, the content in the feature description section has been unlocked.

[Function: 1. Visualization: You can control the figurative text (use conditions: battle level G; intelligence level G)]

[2. Spell Culture: Consume 30% of your physical strength, you can use the spell magic of the Book of Demon Hunting once, the effect is random, and the cooldown time is 15 minutes (use conditions: Battle Level E; Intelligence Level: Intelligence Level: D)]

[3. Demonization: Consume all your stamina and turn into a terrifying killing messenger (use conditions: Battle level: B; Intelligence Level: B)】

"This effect is really ............" Brother Feng couldn't help but swallow and spit at the mouth, "I don't know how powerful I am!" ”
