After reading the information about herself, Nymph browsed through the confidential archives for a while.
Only a small amount of information is available about the military region and the Meta World, and this information is likely stored in a physically isolated network.
Without an internet connection, even the Hacker Skill can't get in.
She canceled her Nymph Avatar and reverted to Qiqi.
Without Qiqi's talent for being slow to react, the pain would have been unbearable.
Based on past experience, the pain caused by the Mana Backlash will not disappear until at least tomorrow.
Another night passed.
When I woke up the next day, I could already log into the Meta World.
The Elven Empire remained as quiet as ever. The Christmas Moon Festival hadn't passed yet, and ordinary players didn't come here unless they were as followers.
But the Human Empire is much more lively, especially the Novice Village.
The official Meta World team hasn't explicitly stated what's new in this game update, but players have summarized some key points.
①: You can only complete ten daily tasks from the Adventurer's Guild each day.
This update completely eliminates the possibility of surpassing the first batch of players to enter the game. New players no longer have an unlimited number of quests, making leveling up even slower.
Most of the experience in the Meta World comes from quests and silver and Gold Rank bosses. If you only kill ordinary monsters, you may not be able to level up even after several days.
With the limited number of tasks, the possibility of those wealthy players hiring henchmen to frantically complete tasks and surpass [Su] is almost nonexistent.
Unless that person's luck is as outrageous as [Su's], killing monsters above their level solo is as easy as drinking water or eating.
"The task quantity limit was actually released ahead of schedule," Qiqi exclaimed.
She remembered that this restriction only appeared in her previous life when the game was brought into reality. At that time, she was looking for beginner guides on the game forum and saw many players complaining about this quest restriction, which slowed down their leveling speed a lot.
This change won't affect her much; even if she can only complete ten tasks for the Hall of Service each day, she still won't be able to finish them.
Some tasks that require decryption can take up half a day if things don't go smoothly.
②: The descriptions of many skills have changed, but the effects seem to remain the same.
Qiqi guessed that the Meta World was preparing to align with reality, so it modified some skill descriptions and made some data vague, since reality is too random and cannot be accurately represented by any data.
The poster only mentioned these two points.
Other players have added their own comments below.
③: The realism has become much stronger. If before there was a layer of plastic wrap between you and this world, with some incongruity and inconspicuous flaws in the perfection, now that layer of film has disappeared. Standing in the game world is like traveling to another world!
Isn't this exactly the experience after the arrival of the Mind Net?
Upon seeing this description, Qiqi exited the game in confusion and took off her game helmet.
He called out to the void, "System."
"Ding! The Meta World System is at your service..."
"Can I log into the Meta World without using a device?"
"Ding, the mind transmission function is not yet perfect. The estimated time for the official launch of this function is 14:32 on the 29th."
Qiqi: "..."
Has it not officially arrived yet...?
That's true. If the Mind Net truly arrives, then her real-world level and skills should become the same as in the game.
However, the time of arrival is a month later, which is two months earlier than in the previous life.
That butterfly is flapping its wings really hard.
Log back into the game.
Qiqi discovered that her inbox had received many more emails.
They were all letters from strangers.
"Hello, I'm from a certain group. I'd like to purchase the equipment you're wearing. Could you name a price?"
"Sister, I'm a primary school student, can I borrow your account to play for a bit?"
"Sister, wanna be a couple?"
"I heard you're the strongest player right now? Come and carry me, I can pay you."
"Hey girl, interested in some skincare? 30,000 a month..."
My inbox used to be full of spam, including emails from people wanting to buy equipment, people offering incense daily to try their luck, and people confessing their love every day. They would also include some small items with their emails.
Therefore, Qiqi has never restricted the email address, since sometimes the things sent by some silly players are quite interesting.
But we have to impose restrictions today because there are just too many emails!
Previously, there were only about a hundred emails a day, but now there are over 999!
"System, reject emails from sources other than your friends!"
"Ding, email rules have been modified. Non-friends cannot send you emails."
Then, claim the contents of your email with one click, and then delete them with another click.
My backpack suddenly had a huge amount of cheap recovery potions, stones, sticks, food, and in addition to a lot of junk, the amount of Gold Coin increased by 5,000.
"Who sent it? 5,000 Gold Coin, that's almost 360,000, right?" Qiqi asked, a little puzzled.
However, all the emails were deleted, and Qiqi had no idea who sent the Gold Coin.
Forget it, I'll just ignore it.
Meanwhile, the people at Mihoyo will continue to wait for this answer that is destined to go unanswered, because the 5,000 Gold Coin were a gift from them.
Qiqi arrived at the Hall of Service and looked at the mission panel.
Last time, I went out with Rosalía to complete the [Orc Pollution Incident] in Star Luo Port. Now, there's still one [Animal Pollution Incident] left in Silver Creek Valley.
Although the task was supposed to be about solving a mystery, Qiqi already knew the answer.
The difficulty of this mission lies solely in finding the key to Silver Creek Valley, and since Qiqi had just entered this place in her previous life, she knew where the key was.
A key that can be obtained without a complicated decryption process.
Since there's no need to decipher the mystery, we won't take Yan Hu and the others with us. Let them take on some simple tasks at the Adventurer's Guild and get by on their own.
Qiqi brought Rosalía to a peach blossom forest in the east of the Elven Empire.
After dealing with the fox demon roaming among them, they successfully dug out a silver key under a tree.
"Fortunately, the location hasn't changed."
Otherwise, with so many peach trees, digging them up one by one would take half a day.
Silver Creek Valley is a secluded village in the Elven Empire. The elves living there are mostly elven hermits, and they rarely bother outsiders unless absolutely necessary, and they also rarely allow outsiders to enter.
Qiqi found a crack in the mountain behind the peach blossom forest, and came to an iron gate through the crack.
Behind this iron gate lies Silver Creek Valley.
To be honest, it's unbelievable that the Fallen Ones would pollute even such a secluded place.
People are just staying home peacefully, why do we have to make them uncomfortable?
Open the iron gate.
An unpleasant odor wafted over.
"Huh?"
In my previous life, I didn't have this unpleasant smell when I entered Silver Creek Valley.
Qiqi suddenly had a bad feeling.
Could it be that all the elves inside were killed?
