The reactions to the new features kept flashing through Qi Sheng's mind.
Most players had praised the newly launched combat training feature, saying the update had reduced the Sacrificial Power costs of Body Tempering.
But there had been complaints, too.
Some veteran players grumbled that they'd spent Sacrificial Power at a one-to-one rate to increase their Body Refining Experience, while newcomers could start out with discounted Body Refining Experience. They thought it was unfair to veterans.
The complaints could be summed up in one word: benefits.
The veterans' complaint was valid.
But when the game had first launched, there were times when Qi Sheng had less Sacrificial Power than the players did.
At his poorest, he'd even had to run a "lottery event" and rely on players to help cover the cost of developing new features.
