Ying Yi was level 0, and his skill was Eagle Eye.
Eagle Eye (Passive Skill): Increases viewing range by 30%.
Race Requirement: None
Class Requirement: Agility Class
Level Requirement: None
Learning Cost: 500 experience points.
Lin Feng believed that Eagle Eye was an incredible skill for the Agility Class.
It increased viewing range by a whopping 30%!
Agility itself improved eyesight, giving Agility Class players a much wider field of vision than other players. With Eagle Eye on top of that, their viewing range would reach a terrifying extent.
Whether they were playing as archers or scouts, the greatly extended viewing range would give them a huge advantage.
Especially archers.
Only by seeing farther could they shoot farther and more accurately.
In the future, a large number of master marksmen would surely emerge among the players.
Lin Feng decided to give the third NPC slot to Wind Wolf.
After all, the Jackalmen were currently the only hidden race, so a race mentor like Wind Wolf was naturally needed.
More importantly, Wind Wolf's racial skill, Wolf Transformation, could also be taught to players!
Wind Wolf was level 4 and had three skills.
Wolf Howl, Wolf Pounce, and Wolf Transformation.
Wolf Pounce (Active Skill): Pounce on an enemy at incredible speed, dealing damage based on Strength Value. If your Strength Value is higher than your opponent's, you have a chance to knock them down. The greater the difference in Strength Value, the higher the chance of knocking them down.
Cooldown: 10 seconds.
Race Requirement: Jackalmen
Class Requirement: Strength Class
Level Requirement: None
Learning Cost: 100 experience points.
Wolf Howl (Status Skill): Let out a loud howl, increasing Strength Value by 10% for 10 seconds.
Cooldown: 3 minutes.
Race Requirement: Jackalmen
Class Requirement: Strength Class
Level Requirement: 3
Learning Cost: 200 experience points.
Wolf Transformation (Active Skill): Transform into a giant black wolf. Size depends on level.
Cooldown: None
Race Requirement: Jackalmen
Class Requirement: Strength Class
Level Requirement: 6
Learning Cost: 500 experience points.
All three of Wind Wolf's skills were powerful and practical.
It was easy to see that the Jackalmen would be the version's favored race.
With the three NPC candidates decided, Lin Feng opened the system.
He first checked how many players he could recruit.
Based on his estimate, after the Jackalmen Tribe was wiped out, the players' range of activity would expand, as would the Starry Tribe's sphere of influence. The player limit should increase as well.
At the very least, it should go up to fifty.
Unexpectedly, the system gave him a huge surprise.
"Player Count: 30/100."
The line appeared clearly on the system interface.
He had thought the player limit would increase to fifty. He hadn't expected the system to be so generous and raise it straight to one hundred!
Delighted, he began editing the update information on the official website.
With the arrival of the Illusion Realm System and the Skill System, this was bound to be a major update.
It was time to give the current version a more striking name.
After some thought, Lin Feng posted the update announcement he had prepared on the official website.
Update Announcement:
Thanks to the combined efforts of thirty beta testers, the Starry Tribe had successfully wiped out the Jackalmen Tribe, laying a solid foundation for the rise of the Human Race.
The Version 1.0 expansion Conquer Fangzhang Island was officially launched!
The Snake People Tribe in the southern part of the island was stirring, hoping to overthrow the Four-Armed Giant Tribe's rule over Fangzhang Island. The shadow of war had fallen over the entire island, and a great battle was imminent.
The Starry Tribe and the Human Race would also join the struggle for dominance!
O Descenders, follow the chieftain, Lin Feng, and join the battle for Fangzhang Island!
This would be the beginning of the Human Race's rise and its unification of the Barbaric Continent!
The Illusion Realm System was now open!
The Skill System was now open!
The Hidden Race System was now open!
Illusion Realm System:
A new structure called the "Gate of Trial" would be added to the Inner Valley. Players could enter an illusion realm through the Gate of Trial.
The Jackalmen Tribe illusion realm was now open.
The Jackalmen Tribe was a party-based illusion realm. Parties of up to ten players could enter and challenge it.
Killing monsters inside an illusion realm would grant experience points and equipment.
More illusion realms would be opened in future versions.
Skill System:
The Skill System was now open. After logging into the game, players could find NPCs who taught skills and learn from them. Learning skills would cost a certain amount of experience.
Four NPCs with skills were now available. Their names and skills were as follows.
Chieftain Lin Feng had Powerful Strike, Swift Step, Defense Enhancement, and Magic Missile.
Ying Zhan had Tiger Strike and Battle Will.
Ying Yi had Eagle Eye.
Wind Wolf had Wolf Pounce, Wolf Howl, and Wolf Transformation.
Skill details were as follows:
Powerful Strike (Active Skill): Gather all your strength into a full-force attack, increasing damage by 50%.
Cooldown: 30 seconds.
Race Requirement: None
Class Requirement: Strength Class
Level Requirement: 2
Learning Cost: 100 experience points.
Hidden Race System:
The hidden race, Jackalmen, was now available.
When creating a character, players who chose the Strength Class had a chance to trigger the hidden race, "Jackalmen." If they did, they could choose whether to enter the game as Jackalmen or as members of the Human Race.
The Jackalmen's starting attributes and growth attributes were as follows:
Starting Attributes: Strength Value 9, Agility Value 5, Constitution Value 5, Intelligence Value 2.
Growth Attributes: With each level gained, Strength Value +2.2, Agility Value +1.1, Constitution Value +1, Intelligence Value +0.5.
Jackalmen could learn race-specific skills from the NPC "Wind Wolf."
More hidden classes would be made available in future versions.
After posting the update announcement on the official website, Lin Feng exited the system and went alone outside the cave.
Ying Yi and the other four children had also moved to the Outer Valley, where they lived with Ying Zhan and the others. At that moment, Lin Feng was the only one in the vast Inner Valley.
He could do as he pleased without anyone finding out.
The bright moon hung high in the sky, its light spilling down and keeping the valley from growing dark, even in the dead of night.
Under the moonlight, Lin Feng walked around near the cave. At last, he picked a suitable spot and built the "Gate of Trial."
Calling it building was a bit of a stretch. He only had to choose a spot, and the system generated it automatically.
"Here will do."
Lin Feng pointed to a patch of empty ground.
"Location selected. Generate the 'Gate of Trial' now?"
The system prompt sounded in Lin Feng's ear.
"Yes!"
Lin Feng confirmed without hesitation.
As soon as he did, dazzling rainbow light enveloped the spot he had chosen. The multicolored glow took the shape of a building, then slowly solidified.
About two or three minutes later, a brand-new structure appeared out of thin air.
The Gate of Trial!
