Version Update Notice
After Lu Xiu and Jian Li finished eating together, they parted ways.
Jian Li returned to the Coordination Bureau.
Lu Xiu returned to her apartment.
"Update?"
After returning to her apartment, Lu Xiu collapsed onto the sofa and reopened the pop-up window: "Iron and Blood ----"
After the incident Goddess Intervention.
Lu Xiu was already mentally prepared, understanding that this gamified world was dynamic, changing, and constantly evolving.
She just didn't expect the update to come so quickly.
Lu Xiu felt there was no point in continuing to work on large-scale dungeons, so he planned to take a break for a while.
And this update... it just doesn't feel right.
Iron and Blood.
These three words, just by hearing them, carry a strong smell of gunpowder and a cruel, meat-grinding feeling.
So what exactly is being updated? Will the monster mechanics in the frontline defense zone undergo a radical change? Will the death penalty and Survival Points consumption in dungeons be increased?
Or is it some other update?
Is that short goddess going to overturn the once relatively stable chessboard and squeeze out humanity's last remaining space for survival?
I don't know.
Lu Xiu thought about it for a while and realized that she couldn't guess what the update would be based on just a few words—there were too many possibilities. Even if she racked her brains until they were practically smoking, she still couldn't guess it.
never mind.
Lu Xiu quickly gave up.
It's set up.
Thinking about it carefully, what good would it do to guess correctly? It seems like there's nothing she can do about it.
If the monster mechanics in the front-line defense zone were to undergo a fundamental change, it wouldn't be something she could handle alone.
Lu Xiu closed the window, adjusted her position on the sofa, and sighed deeply.
--After finally adapting to my body and to this world, I have to watch this world undergo tremendous changes. Thinking about it, it's quite a helpless thing.
Is this perhaps the feeling of powerlessness an individual experiences in the face of the great tides of the times?
While thinking about random things, Lu Xiu summoned the System Panel and opened the list that the Coordination Bureau had sent earlier.
She made up her mind that morning to give the Coordination Bureau a reply and select an SSS-level item or equipment.
Let's take a look now.
but.
Lu Xiu looked at the list of props and equipment, becoming more and more conflicted.
While the items and equipment here are all highly rated, many of them feel less practical than his S-rated Nameless Blade.
Not to mention the SSS skills he acquired.
When Lu Xiu saw this list, she immediately understood why the rewards from the dungeon she had created had caused such a sensation.
These are the rewards from the system dungeon? That's incredibly weak!!!
This is also why Lu Xiu hasn't decided which equipment and props she wants for so long.
Because she doesn't really like any of them.
She was just too embarrassed to say it out loud, afraid that the Coordination Bureau would ask her what rewards she had, and also afraid that the people in the Coordination Bureau would have their blood pressure spike after seeing the rewards she got from the dungeon.
"The other players are having a tough time."
Lu Xiu sighed, then turned to her target.
Although most of the equipment and items on the list were rather basic, some were quite interesting, such as the spear that Lu Xiu had her eye on [Item: Loathing Halberd].
[Rating: SSS]
[Type: Halberd]
[Attribute Bonus: Strength +2]
[Special Effect: The Endless Momentum Halberd is extremely long and heavy, yet its weight distribution is strangely perfect. Once the halberd begins to be swung, it generates extremely strong inertial guidance. Continuous sweeps, thrusts, and slams will continuously accumulate the weapon's momentum, with each combo increasing the physical destructive power and kinetic energy of the next strike. Under the enhancement of momentum, the user's swing is extremely difficult to interrupt by conventional means. Momentum can be stacked up to seven layers, after which it will no longer increase, but the attack power during the period it is maintained is extremely terrifying.]
When the power of the Sky-Rending Wind Slash is stacked to three or more layers, the user can perform a wide-range sweeping attack or a charged downward slam, causing the halberd to generate high-pressure wind blades with substantial destructive power. These wind blades can extend the attack range outwards by several meters and can cleave or deflect low- to mid-level flying objects. In environments with strong air currents, such as gales or high altitudes, the power and range of the wind blades will be further amplified.
[Restriction: Momentum Break Backlash - Maintaining momentum requires continuous attacks. If more than three seconds pass after any swing, the accumulated momentum will instantly collapse. When it collapses, all the inertia and kinetic energy accumulated will backlash against the user. The higher the number of layers, the heavier the backlash. (Successfully killing a living creature can safely remove the current momentum and cancel the backlash judgment.)
[Equipment Requirements: Strength ≥ 15]
[Note: I just can't stop, I can't stop. I've started to hate it, I've started to curse it, I've started to despise it, but I still can't stop.]
Well, how should I put it?
This halberd is among the best pieces of equipment on the list; its design philosophy is very pure, but the limitations are a bit troublesome.
The Coordination Bureau also thoughtfully included a long, handwritten note after the item information.
It basically means that the weapon is very powerful.
However, this Momentum Break Backlash is quite troublesome—in an environment devoid of living beings, drawing a halberd and assuming a stance is tantamount to suicide, making it an extremely dangerous double-edged sword.
However, Lu Xiu still wanted this, partly because she didn't really want other things, and partly because of the role-playing mode with the Immersion Function.
I just happen to be playing the Sword Saint Isshin Ashina, and all I'm missing is a gun.
Let's go with this one then.
If it works well, use it; if it doesn't, then take a seat in the back.
"I want a weapon Loathing Halberd, and I also need a sniper rifle—"
After making up her mind, Lu Xiu began sending emails to the staff she was in contact with, explaining the equipment she wanted and requesting to borrow a sniper rifle.
send.
Done.
Lu Xiu clapped her hands; now she just had to wait for the Coordination Bureau to deliver the items.
Then, after you get it, try it out in Construction Space or elsewhere.
Perfect!
As for Constructed Instance?
Lu Xiu was not in a hurry.
Just like she told Jian Li, the pressure on players to Survival Points is too great. If another large-scale dungeon is released in succession, I really don't know how many players will be able to afford the entrance ticket, let alone complete it consecutively.
It's not very meaningful.
Let's take a few days off and observe the situation before making any decisions.
She doesn't know what to build yet.
Thinking of this...
Lu Xiu stretched and stood up to get some drinks.
As soon as she stood up straight and turned around, she froze.
On the once clean and tidy fabric sofa, a dusty, gray stain had suddenly appeared.
Lu Xiu immediately turned her head, like a cat trying to chase its own tail, and spun around to look behind her.
Sure enough, there were several obvious patches of cement dust stuck to the buttocks of her gray sweatpants. It was obvious that she had gotten them there that morning when she was sitting next to Jian Li on the edge of the abandoned rooftop. She had patted them off casually when she left, but she hadn't managed to get them clean at all.
I should have known better than to be a confidante!
Lu Xiu sighed and facepalmed, then went to get the cleaning tools and dutifully cleaned the dust off the sofa bit by bit.
After finishing all that, she turned and headed to the bedroom to change out of her dirty workout clothes—she had actually worked up a light sweat from jumping around using the Jump Kit.
Lu Xiu didn't like this feeling. She could accept it before, but for some reason, she gradually couldn't accept it anymore.
In the bedroom.
Lu Xiu casually took off her coat, crossed her hands and grabbed the hem of her close-fitting T-shirt, preparing to pull it up.
But he had only taken off half of his clothes when his head was covered.
At this extremely private moment.
bite-
A piercing, highest-level system notification sound rang out without warning.
"Why----"
Lu Xiu was startled by the sudden notification sound. Her body trembled violently, and she tripped over the coat she had just taken off. She lost her balance and fell straight backward onto the soft bed.
"This damn system is insane!"
She frantically pulled the T-shirt off her head, then, with her messy, long hair sticking out, she looked at the window in front of her with a hint of exasperation.
Even changing clothes triggers a pop-up ad?! Don't they have any privacy rights?!
However.
When Lu Xiu's gaze focused on the window and she saw what was on it, the annoyance on her pretty face instantly froze.
[The overall rating and regional influence of the Constructed Instance target (ID: 15******) have reached the concealment threshold.]
[System check complete: You have obtained "Specific Architect" privileges.]
[This information is only available to a very small number of "specific Architect" in this region.]
[Version Update: Iron and Blood (Phase 1 Unlocked)]
[The information currently available to Architect is as follows:]
[1. On the day of the version's release, all system dungeons will be temporarily closed. During this period, players can only enter unofficial dungeons constructed by Architect in their respective regions. Additionally, unofficial dungeons that have been verified and cleared within a specific timeframe will be automatically added to the [Cross-Realm Arena Scene Library].]
[Part Two: On the day of the version's release, a limited-time cross-server PvP arena will open. Based on estimates, the area where the Architect is located will most likely be matched with players from three different world types: III, IV, and V, with a small probability of being matched with players from other nations within this world.]
[Three: Players who defeat other cross-player opponents in the arena will receive a large number of Survival Points and can also forcibly Plunder their enemies.]
[IV: The arena battle area will be randomly selected from the [scene library] of both sides or will be Ban/Pick (ban/select), depending on the challenge mode.]
[The above information is exclusive strategic information for Architect and must not be disclosed or leaked to ordinary players in any form (including but not limited to verbal, written, implied, or physical actions). Once the system detects a leak, it will directly trigger [Goddess Intervention].]
[System Prompt: Architect, in the new version, your imagination will be the most lethal strategic weapon for players in this region. Construct the most brutal and meticulously Shura battleground! If your region ultimately wins, you will receive unimaginable rewards!]
Lu Xiu sat on the bed, her red lips slightly parted, her eyes wide with disbelief, completely oblivious to her own state of mind.
Goosebumps appeared on her fair and slender arms exposed to the air.
How do I update it?
Doesn't that mean I can't set it up myself?!
