Chapter 396: Version Update
"Open two bottles of red wine that are more than 50 years old."
Dongyang took out a bag of gold pounds very magnificently, weighed it, there were about forty or fifty pieces, and threw it directly to the front desk.
"It's your tip."
"Thank you, sir!"
Seeing this, the bartender's nervousness and fear suddenly disappeared, and he took the money bag with a smile, opened it and glanced at it, and knew it in his heart.
In addition to the money for two bottles of red wine, he himself could also get a tip of three or four gold pounds, which is a huge amount of money! For the bartender's weekly salary of nine silver lords, this is equivalent to a year's salary!
Dongyang then took the crowd to the corner of the bar and sat down like a big brother.
The surrounding guests hurriedly got up and left, as if they felt that this group of undead strangers with rifles and hateful faces were very difficult to mess with.
Dongyang and the others just smiled at this, and didn't say anything, and sat down to drink.
"The main quest is over, and we have gained a lot...... We have tens of thousands of experience points in reserve, just waiting for the next version to arrive, and the level cap will be opened, so that we can be ahead of other players at the beginning of the version. ”
He took a sip of red wine and smiled.
"That's true."
Polaris nodded in agreement.
"In the Scarlet Campaign, the stronger you are, the more things you can do, so we're the ones who have gained the most...... Although it always feels like 1.0 ended too quickly, it didn't have that much impact on us. ”
"Version 1.0 of 'Crimson Rite' was caused by the rebellion of the Red Apple Church, and the Lost Name Guild was a miserable loss, because they originally joined the Red Apple Church, and they were not less embarrassed in front of us...... The nameless guy has shown off to our Valhalla President Xiaoguang at offline cocktail parties several times, and now he looks like a gray face all day long, haha, it's really relieving! ”
Dongyang said with a smile.
"I heard that the 'black consortium Doug' behind the loss of name has evaporated tens of billions of assets as a result, and it is no wonder that their chairman has collapsed, after all, he is mostly responsible for this."
Kotou Jin took a sip of wine and gloated.
Chenxi on the side also echoed two sentences, sharing some of the inside information she got, confirming this statement.
Everyone couldn't help but rejoice that he had joined Jack's command from the beginning and became a member of the circus. In retrospect, it was a wise and far-sighted decision.
"Anyway, do you have any news about version 2.0, don't hide it, it's all your own people, share it so that everyone can prepare early."
Tail Yin grinned and said to Dongyang and Chenxi.
After hearing this, Bald, Dragon King, Kucha Nana and others also pricked up their ears, and among them, Polaris and Su Keying, two scattered players, couldn't help but cast their eyes, very concerned.
Unexpectedly, Dongyang and Chenxi glanced at each other, smiled bitterly and shook their heads.
"Where's the inside information...... This game was made by the supercomputer of federal scientists, and even those guys didn't understand it, how can we know. ”
Dongyang looked at everyone's eyes of disbelief and disdain, and knocked on the table in a bit of anger.
Knock knock!
"Really! Our president, Xiaoguang's uncle, is a member of the development team, and there really is no gossip! Lie to you guys it's dogs! ”
Dongyang's pitch raised a little.
He turned his head to look around, and saw that no drinkers were paying attention to this side, so he lowered his voice and added:
"But there's something out of the ordinary...... The president of his uncle told him that the process and development of version 1.0 have changed dramatically, and the data and programs in the background have shifted the original trajectory by themselves...... Therefore, the feeling that Polaris just talked about is actually correct, and it stands to reason that version 1.0 should not end so quickly. ”
Everyone raised their eyebrows, they didn't expect Valhalla to have such a relationship.
Immediately afterwards, Dongyang threw out another bombshell news.
"And let me tell you, the president and his uncle also told a very strange thing, that is, the important reason for the abnormal program is because of a very special set of data...... That string of data appeared as if it appeared out of thin air, and it was traced back to the source, and it was found that it was born on a certain day a year before the closed beta. ”
As he spoke, he dipped his drink and drew a stroke on the table.
"What puzzled federal scientists was the appearance of a letter 'J' in this string of data...... This is almost impossible in the running of the program. ”
Dongyang raised his head and looked at everyone with a smile.
"What do you think of?"
Polaris and the others looked at each other in shock.
"You mean...... Mr. Jack?! ”
"I don't know."
Dongyang shook his head.
But the president had already told his uncle about the speculation...... The development team said that we should keep an eye on the actions of the NPC 'Jaxpet' in private, so that they can study the operation of the game. ”
"Looks like it's basically confirmed......
Su Keying said.
"No wonder Mr. Jack is so special, it turns out that his appearance is unusual."
"Then again, since everyone is blind about the next version, what are we going to do next?"
Kotou Kim asked.
A good friend on the side forgot Wuji and said:
"I can only wait for the end of the version update, and the think tanks of our three guilds will analyze it together and give the best strategy...... But those guys are not very reliable at times, after all, only those of us on the front line know how to play the game, they know how to play a hammer. ”
Polaris drank silently, opened his mouth several times, but did not make a sound.
Dongyang noticed his performance and asked suspiciously:
"Polaris, if you have anything to say, we are all brothers who have been playing together for so long."
The others also stared at him, and Polaris thought for a moment and hummed.
"Actually, I received a private interview with Mr. Jack......"
"Good fellows! Eating alone again, right?! ”
The epilogue said exaggerated and jealous.
Dongyang was thoughtful, and then asked:
"Did Mr. Jack say anything to you?"
Polaris rolled his eyes at the end of the note, then nodded.
"Well, he told me some clues and information that I think should be related to the next version."
"Blanch! Brother Beizi, you are really a card! There are so many players on the whole server, including the three major guilds and even Big Brother Dongyang, what their presidents don't know, you alone know! ”
Seeing the dragon king's tone was excited, he gave a thumbs up.
"Speak quickly, speak quickly! Brother Beizi tell us quickly! ”
Polaris prepared the wording, and then said slowly:
Mr. Jack said that he would soon leave here and head to the Imperial Imperial City of Tourmaline Kloster, where he would be the head of the branch of the Generosity Council of the Imperial City, and that he would also join the Imperial Inquisition...... Although the turmoil in the Red Apple Church is over, the empire still faces two major troubles that need to be dealt with urgently. ”
He noticed that the high-ranking players looked serious, so he didn't sell it, and continued:
"One is the turmoil in the spiritual world, which has been going on for a long time, but the average person has no access to the news...... There are many dangerous polluting organisms that appear inexplicably, and as time goes on, they become more and more serious, and it is very likely that they will affect the present world...... Mr. Jack said he was likely to look into the matter as a 'vanguard'. ”
Polaris took a sip of wine and slowed down.
"The second is the war in the west, the war between the Trisur Empire and the Anlong United Kingdom, and it will not be able to be fought in a while, so Mr. Jack said that in the future, it may be necessary for undead strangers to go to the battlefield, that is, we players."
"In other words, the next version of the main story is likely to be related to the turmoil in the spirit world or the war in the west?"
Dongyang thought for a moment and asked.
Polaris nodded.
"Yes, but whatever it is, we should follow in Mr. Jack's footsteps...... He also suggested that I prepare early, I can go to Wangcheng in advance to adapt to the environment, and if there is any need at that time, he will give priority to us who are his own people. ”
"Understood."
Doghead Jin slapped his face.
Syllable!
"Let's leave immediately, rush to the royal city, and when the version update is over, we can receive Mr. Jack's mission as soon as possible, and even the main quest!"
Everyone looked enlightened, and the excitement was difficult to hide.
"Brother Beizi, I love you! Thank you so much! ”
The Dragon King laughed.
"I feel that what Brother Beizi just said is also like the main line of the next version, is this a big step ahead of other players?"
"Of course...... Intelligence is the highest priority, and poor information is our strength. ”
Chenxi glanced at him calmly and said lightly.
At this moment, a prompt box suddenly popped up on everyone's panel-
[The version is about to be updated, please go offline in time to avoid unnecessary losses......]
[After the end of the version update, we will issue a maintenance package to each player, and the specific opening time may be delayed or advanced according to the actual situation, thank you for your support and understanding......]
[Countdown to version update 14:59......]
The fifteen-minute countdown began, and the crowd was a little surprised.
"I didn't expect it to be so soon, it looks like our plan won't work......"
Dongyang sighed with some regret.
"Let's wait until the update is over and we'll go live before we make plans."
Polaris glanced at him and whispered.
Dongyang shook his head.
"That's all there is to it."
The others also looked helpless.
"I can't do anything in fifteen minutes, I'm going to withdraw first, just take a shower and rest, during this time, the battle is too ruthless, and my wife has scolded me several times......"
Dongyang filled everyone's wine glasses, and then picked up his own wine glasses.
"Come, touch a drink, count it as a short goodbye! Wait until the next time we go live, and our adventure continues! ”
"Come!"
"Cheers!"
Everyone raised their glasses and collided with each other.
Jingling!
After everyone drank the wine, Polaris smiled slightly.
"Guys, see you next time!"
"See you in the next version."
"Wait......"
Dongyang hurriedly raised his hand to stop it.
"Don't make life and death part, let's get together offline tomorrow, I'll have a treat."
"Hahaha...... Okay, Brother Dongyang, where, I'll be on time. ”
"Thirteenth Block of Splendid City, Moran Tavern."
"No problem."
Everyone hurriedly chimed in.
Only Polaris took a deep breath, he just wanted to refuse, but Dongyang saw through his thoughts, and hurriedly pressed his shoulder.
"Come and live in the splendid city, brother, I still have a vacant house that I can rent to you cheaply. Now that you're a big guy, don't do the same thing you used to...... I heard that you also have a grandmother, and you have moved in with you, so you can take care of anything. ”
"That's right, Brother Beizi, come here to play."
"I'll introduce you to my best friend, rich woman."
Polaris was slightly stunned, then his expression changed several times, and finally smiled and looked at everyone with emotion.
"Thank you."
He nodded heavily.
"Good!"
