Version 3.0, Real Survival!

After the Hope came to a stop here, the alien camp, which still numbered 15,000, began to stir on a small scale.

However, this commotion was far less than the cheers of the human survivors, to the point that many people forgot they existed.

Furthermore, after Su God arrived.

In the eyes of the survivors, these alien races were already sitting ducks.

Their fates were already written; the only difference was whether they died sooner or later.

However, seeing Su Mo smiling and looking at the alien camp with great excitement, Lu Yongyi rubbed his hands together but didn't say anything.

People's mindset is contagious.

As Su Mo finally relaxed after receiving his sister, those around him were also infected by the feeling of returning to Earth and instantly putting their minds at ease.

This sense of security is hard-won for these people in the wasteland.

Lu Yongyi didn't have much ambition; he was happy to have a tall person to support him.

At 1:50, I watched as the captains were led back to the deck by Moore.

Su Mo clapped his hands and summoned Li Li: "Go, take some men and move all the audio equipment and Mike from my warehouse onto the deck!"

Before you do something big, background music is essential!

For all of humanity, language may not be able to convey a person's desired expression, but music can.

This is paired with the Eternal Lamp that are not yet turned on on the Hope.

Su Mo believed that once this crazy plan, which had been in preparation for many days, was truly launched, humanity in this wasteland would embark on a path of complete resurgence.

"Su Mo, I'll take the men back first. The game is about to update, and it would be troublesome if something unexpected happened and there was a disturbance below that no one could handle!"

"Having weathered this disaster, I still have plenty of good stuff. We'll have a good drink and a good chat then,"

"Okay, Lao Lu, I've got you covered!"

He shook hands with each of the captains who were fighting on the front lines of the war. Seeing their excited expressions, Su Mo laughed and felt like a celebrity meeting his fans.

In civilized times, it is extremely difficult for ordinary people to rise above their circumstances.

But in this wild wasteland era, given the opportunity, everyone can reach a peak they never dared to imagine before.

After seeing off all the captains, Su Mo, seeing that there were only a few minutes left before the update, was not in a hurry. He leisurely led Su Chan up to the Captain's Cabin the third floor.

"You stay here for now. No matter what happens outside, don't go out."

Su Chan blinked. "Brother, you're not planning something big again, are you? Last time when you... slaughtered a god, I saw your cringeworthy performance on the game stream!"

"You know what, if you weren't my brother, you'd actually be quite handsome. You have no idea how many women at the Tundra Shelter you'd seduce, from 18 to 40. Tsk tsk tsk. But considering you're my brother..."

Su Mo glared at him. "So what you said on the phone about me being handsome was a lie?"

Su Chan blushed and avoided his gaze. "Oh, don't worry about these details. To be honest, you were really awesome when you were being cool, but... it just lacked a little something, which made you a bit less impressive. I suggest you try something different this time."

"."

"Yes, by the way, you'll need to come up with a few more slogans. How can such an important person make an entrance without shouting slogans?"

As someone born at the very end of the 2000s, Su Chan's ideas are quite unique, basically meeting the needs of a true "young person".

In her mind, a hero must make an entrance with special effects, exude a murderous aura with every wave of his hand, and be even more fitting if he has some chuunibyou-esque remarks and domineering slogans.

In short, for this Xin Yi...

They wouldn't like it if heroism meant individualism.

But if heroism signifies awakening or greatness, then they will be revered as Gods.

Su Mo understood what he meant, but for this 90s Su Mo, his way of expressing it was, "I'm laying my cards on the table: I'm going to sing a song."

Su Chan: "Holy shit."

Seeing the astonishment on Su Chan's face, Su Mo put down his mask with satisfaction, pushed open the door to the Captain's Cabin's cabin, and swaggered out.

So what if he's a bad singer? Who says you can't sing if you can't sing well? We're playing rock and roll, okay?

Why does something always happen before Teacher Wang releases a song? It's all because our rock music is awesome!!! Three minutes later, sitting on a beach chair at the bow of the boat, listening to the game's notification sound, the update progress finally reached 99.9%. Su Mo had a thought and quickly brought up the Game Panel.

The current fluctuations in the number of organisms are highly unusual, given the past performance of the participants.

This generation of humans is "too good at playing," which has led to many unreasonable aspects in the game's own gameplay design.

Leaving aside distant issues, this very recent maritime conflict has revealed a major anomaly: a sharp decline in the number of marine organisms!

In just two months, following the usual rules, once the game detected that a human's strength had reached the "death" standard, it directly launched the ocean version.

But if we really talk about strength...

In just two months, humanity hadn't even gotten past the novice stage. They were penniless and had nothing. Even this ship was just a rough cobbled-together creation.

Looking at the vehicles on the ocean, 60% of humans still drive rafts converted from game cores.

As for the alien races, their strength hadn't improved much in two months.

Even now, more than 80% of the alien races have been infected with Biological Specificity Inhibitor. Three months later, they will definitely not be able to withstand the repeated feeding and will surely turn into bloodthirsty "zombies".

This has led to the fact that this time, it hasn't even truly begun, but it has already reached its "end."

This change was definitely beyond the game's expectations, which is why it started updating without any warning at this time.

Su Mo had a feeling that the game's Version 3.0 update would bring about a major transformation in the wasteland.

It is through support that all living things here are given a second chance.

Or should it be destruction, allowing this world to start anew, and Xin Yi of creatures to descend?

As the update notification finally finished its last little bit and the annoying update interface finally disappeared, Su Mo couldn't wait to enter the panel and start checking.

"Oh dear, this is really a disaster!"

"Just as I suspected, that JD.com game is starting to pull some tricks!"

In an instant, hearing the loud notification sound in his ears and seeing most of the functions on the panel marked with question marks, Su Mo's brows twitched, and his expression became serious.

[Log]: The current rate of biological extinction (humans: 39%, aliens: 27%) has been detected to be far exceeding the predicted value. The game will automatically adjust and update its version.

[Record]: The third version update will be automatically implemented in the current world in ten calendar days. [Record]: The third world version - Real Survival - Pioneer trailer is coming soon! [Record]: Current game progress detected. Within 100 days, the probability of human extinction is 96.8%, and the probability of alien extinction is 99.9%. All creatures will gain the right to vote and intervene to a certain extent in the next seven disasters. Please go to the specific entry to view relevant information!

[Log]: A major vulnerability in the game rules has been detected. To thank all players for their verification and repair efforts, this update will provide rewards based on players' contributions to the vulnerability. Please see the specific entry for details!

[Record]: Congratulations to human player "Su Mo"! Your contribution is ranked first among all creatures. You can check your reward and compensation in the message section. We wish you a pleasant gaming experience!

The six major warnings indicate that the game has thoroughly discovered the shortcomings of this "copycat" approach, and this Version 3.0 update is a test of patching and fixing these issues.

Within 100 days, the annihilation rate of both humans and alien races exceeded 95%.

To some extent, this update signifies that the game has given up on pushing everyone forward and moving in a more distant direction.

But in some ways, he didn't completely abandon all life forms and choose to reopen the game.

Perhaps because of this so-called bug discovery, the game has temporarily given the current wasteland creatures a chance.

But looking at the words "Real Survival" and thinking about the majority of the functions that were left with question marks, Su Mo gradually felt a sense of unease.

Manipulating thoughts and clicking rapidly, the game interface transforms seamlessly.

Almost identical to the previous ocean trailer, the Real Survival trailer, apart from a video clip, offers no textual hints.

With a sinking feeling, Su Mo immediately focused his mind and used his large hand to enter the object and begin to examine it.

Unlike last time when we talked about the legend of Ocean God for half an hour, this time the game seemed to have resigned itself to its fate and went straight to the point.

"Survival, a return to nature; creatures roam freely in the wilderness and mud, teetering between hope and despair."

"In the face of natural disasters, we must demonstrate unwavering will."

"."

Each chant, like a spell before unleashing a powerful attack, conveyed a wealth of information about the version update in almost every line.

After dozens of low murmurs ended, new notifications began to pop up in the update preview.

[Record]: After the third version, "Real Survival," is implemented, many functions in the current Game Panel will be restricted/discontinued/required payment. The specific list is as follows:

Chat (World Chat/No longer available, Area Chat/Shelter level restriction, unlocked at level 4/paid, Private Chat/No longer available, Disaster Resistance Channel /paid)

The Trading Market is no longer available. Crafting (no longer available for items below rare quality) / paid (for items above rare quality) is also no longer available.

Storage Space (fee/per use)

Authentication service (no longer available for items below rare quality) / chargeable for items above rare quality)

[Record]: The new disaster cycle will not be adjusted based on the number of organisms; it will be fixed at 7 days for a small disaster, 14 days for Medium Disaster, and 28 days for a large disaster. Players can vote on the order of disasters, but after one selection, that option will be locked until three cycles are completed. [Record]: The new disaster intensity will be adjusted based on the player's location, specifically: New Continent (100%) / 1000-5000 km outside the New Continent (80%) / 5000-10000 km outside the New Continent (60%) / 10000 km outside the New Continent (40%)

[Record]: The new reward mechanism will be adjusted based on the player's location, specifically: New Continent (available) / Outside the New Continent (not available)

[Record]: The introduction of new players brings more competition among species.

[Record]: New buildings, ruins, scenes, and environments will be added, bringing more opportunities to the brave, specifically: New Continent (available) / Outside the New Continent (not available).

[Record]: New rule setting: Items/tools/weapons/armor produced using the game's crafting function will be charged per use, with the price varying depending on the item's rarity. [Record]: New shelter weight setting (implemented in 30 days): After placing a shelter, players will not be allowed to leave a certain area of the shelter. This restriction increases with the shelter's level (Lv1: 50 km/Lv2: 70 km/Lv3: 90 km). If a player chooses to cross this area, the Shelter Core will automatically reset to its initial state after 24 hours, its level will be unified, and any player can bind it.

The six changes are completely different from the previous ones, plus the discontinuation and charging for core functions. The new version update is very complicated!

Even the trailers are only given a brief introduction in many entries.

However, before Su Mo could finish browsing through the entries and analyze their purpose, the sky outside began to change color rapidly.

Countless dazzling auroras flashed continuously in the night sky.

Similar to the last time the Tengu Pseudo-God descended, the sky over this wasteland was once again torn open like a curtain.

But this time it was different from the last time. The opening was no longer a small patch, but had become five Great Rift Valley, neatly distributed in the east, west, south, north, and center! This strange phenomenon could be clearly seen no matter where you were in the wasteland.

Below, all the survivors of the Tundra Fleet, having recovered from the shock of the game update, couldn't help but shout as they looked at the strange phenomenon that suddenly appeared in the sky.

No one knew what would happen next, but Su Mo, who had anticipated this scene from the beginning, slowly straightened up.

"This entanglement between humans and other races has finally come to an end!"
