Chapter 302: Major Update For The New Version 20
“Finally, it is done.”
Lin Qi looked at the system prompt at the bottom of his view and could not help but sigh in his heart.
Upgrading secondary administrator authority to level 3 administrator permissions was really not easy.
System: The current level 3 administrator permissions upgrade requires thirty-two hours. Once the upgrade is confirmed, all players will be forcibly logged off for thirty-two hours after fifteen minutes. Other system functions will not be affected.
System: Confirm upgrade of administrator permissions?
“Will the higher the administrator permissions level, the longer the upgrade time required?” Lin Qi looked at the system prompt, a little surprised.
Previously, when upgrading to primary administrator authority, the update time was only sixteen hours; he did not expect it to directly double now.
Although thirty-two hours was not a big deal for him, since the operation of the Obsidian Martial Arts Hall and Chiyue Town now mainly relied on martial arts hall disciples, with players at most as support.
But if, during a future administrator permissions upgrade, an external enemy attacked, that would definitely be a big problem for the Obsidian Martial Arts Hall.
Fortunately, this upgrade required confirmation instead of being automatic; otherwise, future administrator permissions upgrades might accidentally destroy the Obsidian Martial Arts Hall.
Lin Qi then checked the time on his smart watch and chose to upgrade the administrator permissions.
He could barely accept the thirty-two hours this time. Earth Star Pharmaceuticals was not a faction from the Wushan Region and would have to cross domains to come and go, and two days would not be enough just for travel. As for the Smiling Skull, they were scattered across the Mountain of the Dead. Without one Mo Xiao, the Smiling Skull would definitely need to rearrange their manpower to ensure the safety of their strongholds in the dangerous Mountain of the Dead. The time it would take them to pull people away to deal with him might be even longer than for Earth Star Pharmaceuticals.
So now was the best time to upgrade administrator permissions.
As Lin Qi chose to upgrade, all players received the system prompt at once, requiring everyone to log off within fifteen minutes. For a moment, players who had just been preparing to log off and rest were all stunned.
“What is going on, a forced log off?”
“Is it another major version update?”
“My god! Thirty-two hours! Just what are they going to update?”
Looking at the system prompt, the players all started talking at once, curious about what big move the game planners were making, for the update time to reach thirty-two hours.
“Is this a joke? Thirty-two hours; how am I supposed to get through tomorrow?” Yi Ye Fu Yun looked at the thirty-two-hour update time and felt like his life was about to be thrown into chaos.
By now, he was already used to logging on for more than twenty hours every day. Aside from occasionally going into deep sleep to recover his spirit and handling food and other basic needs, he basically lived inside High Martial Arts Descend.
Now they wanted him to leave this world for thirty-two hours; he had no idea how to live.
“This is simple. The game update does not affect testing. I plan to spend all of tomorrow in the Test Space practicing the Shocking God Meditation Technique. As long as I explode once more, I should be able to learn those Heavenly Human Realm martial skills even faster.” Fang Zhen, looking at the bewildered Yi Ye Fu Yun, was very calm.
This town task could be called a huge harvest. Not only had he obtained the tier 3 weapon dropped by the boss, but it had also made him feel it was very necessary to quickly master the Heavenly Human Realm martial skills shown in the combat videos.
Otherwise, it would be hard to compete with Luo Wu Shang and Ye Qinglu in future events or tasks.
While the players were excitedly discussing what to do during the thirty-two hours of log off time, Lin Qi, who had chosen to upgrade administrator permissions, was staring blankly at the updated level 3 administrator permissions in the system panel.
“A two-hundred-thousand limit! What is this?”
Lin Qi looked at the description of the level 3 administrator permissions and could not help rubbing his eyes, afraid that he had misread.
Previously, when upgrading from primary administrator authority to secondary administrator authority, the player cap had increased from five hundred to four thousand, which was already shocking enough.
Now it was even more terrifying, jumping directly from four thousand to two hundred thousand, completely crossing into another magnitude.
Two hundred thousand players!
Lin Qi felt that just thinking about it was terrifying.
In a city with a population of twenty to thirty million, the number of martial artists they could field would be only two to three hundred thousand, and he could now organize nearly a city’s worth of martial artists.
If he could summon them all at once, and each of them became a martial artist, then even the Mountain of the Dead would not be impossible to sweep.
Besides the enormous increase in the player number cap, the level 3 administrator permissions now allowed not only the construction of advanced training rooms that would let Bone Forging Realm martial artists fight to their heart’s content, but also added a new building.
Beginner Training Room.
The construction fee for this Beginner Training Room alone was one million units of energy and ten thousand energy crystals. The transformation space had to be a separate room of at least ten thousand square meters, and the room had to be manufactured from C2-grade or higher alloy. Once activated, it would consume ten energy crystals per hour.
The function of the Beginner Training Room was also extremely overpowering; it allowed people to fight freely under up to one hundred times gravity.
When Bone Forging Realm and Blood Condensation Realm cultivators found it very hard to get further quenching and improvement, fighting in a high-gravity environment was something Bone Forging Realm and Blood Condensation Realm martial artists could only dream of.
Just cultivating under high gravity could already improve physical quenching. Using martial skills to further squeeze and temper the body was something they did not even dare to think about. After all, every gravity room was a crystallization of technology. Just maintaining gravity was already difficult; having it withstand the impact of martial skills was practically impossible.
If some players casually wanted to use martial skills in the gravity room, he would absolutely beat them to death.
But now the Beginner Training Room perfectly solved this issue. It allowed martial artists to freely unleash their full strength in a high-gravity environment and even fight each other. It was simply too enjoyable.
However, compared to the Beginner Training Room, the upgrade to player costumes was even more terrifying.
Level 3 basic outfit: the resurrection point limit increased to four, and a training function was added. The jacket’s weight could be increased up to one hundred tons, removable and wearable at will. The upgrade consumption required for each player was five thousand units of energy.
Level 3 special costume: its attributes received a further boost, changing from a minor increase to up to a medium increase, with two attributes. Each player’s upgrade would consume five energy crystals and ten thousand units of energy.
The upgrades to the two types of player costumes could be called heaven-defying.
The basic outfit would let players take grinding to a new level, while the special costume was simply a must-have for local tyrants. The dual attributes were practically comparable to the three-star club in his hand. From now on, he no longer had to worry about players not being enthusiastic about earning points and contribution.
But when Lin Qi checked how to upgrade administrator permissions to level 4, he almost cursed out loud.
Level 4 administrator permissions required one hundred players at Blood Condensation Realm Intermediate Level and above, fifty thousand players at Bone Forging Realm Intermediate Level and above, and twenty million martial arts hall disciples.
Fifty thousand players at Bone Forging Realm Intermediate Level and above was still acceptable. As long as there were enough energy potions, it was only a matter of time. But one hundred players at Blood Condensation Realm Intermediate Level and above was going too far.
Martial artists at Blood Condensation Realm Intermediate Level and above, in the entire Wushan Region, apart from the Domain City, probably did not add up to one hundred in total on the surface.
Once martial artists stepped into the Blood Condensation Realm, they needed energy blood essence to improve their physical fitness. Without energy blood essence, no matter how good their cultivation method was, it would be useless.
One hundred players at Blood Condensation Realm Intermediate Level and above meant he had to raise one hundred Blood Condensation Realm players up to intermediate level. The amount of energy blood essence needed was simply astronomical.
As for twenty million martial arts hall disciples, that was basically asking him to change professions, abandon being a hall master, and become a bandit who robs people for a living.
“One player needs one thousand units of energy. Two hundred thousand players means two hundred thousand tons of energy ore. For the level 3 basic outfit, each player needs five thousand units of energy, which comes to five tons of energy ore per player. For two hundred thousand players, that is one million tons of energy ore. For the level 3 special costume, it is two million tons and one million energy crystals. It seems the small energy vein in Chiyue Town is completely insufficient. I must quickly find a new energy vein.” Looking at the current level 3 administrator permissions, Lin Qi did not know for a moment whether to cry or laugh.
The small energy vein beneath Crimson Moon Mountain was already close to exhaustion. After all, the reserve of a small energy vein was only about three million tons at minimum. Building the martial arts hall, constructing the Cultivation Tower, and expanding Chiyue Town had nearly emptied the small energy vein.
Now, suddenly given a quota of two hundred thousand players, although it would greatly increase the strength of the Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, the supply of energy ore was clearly falling behind.
Even the resting places he had prepared for players earlier could currently accommodate at most eight thousand people, not even a fraction of two hundred thousand.
“It seems I can only unlock new gameplay.”
After thinking for a moment, Lin Qi immediately drafted a system announcement and posted it directly on the Official Forum.
System Announcement: To thank the vast number of users for their support of this game and to allow more users to experience it, our company has unanimously decided to launch a new major internal test version, High Martial Arts Descend internal test version 0: the Great Pioneering Era. The player limit is directly increased to eight thousand. Three additional domain maps are unlocked. The update time for this version is thirty-two hours.
With the release of the first announcement, a single stone stirred up a thousand waves across the entire forum.
