Ai Lan had just gone online, and the system announcement suddenly exploded three times in a row.
"The large-scale public copy·Dragon Madness Lock has been opened. For details, please visit the official website."
"Six new continents have been opened one after another. Please visit the official website for details."
"The New World will be updated continuously. For details, please visit the official website."
"This is a major version update!!"
Ai Lan quickly opened the official website and checked it out.
The first thing to look at is, of course, the progress of the expansion pack that he is most concerned about.
Large public copy·Dragon Mad Lock.
The powerful power of the Dragon Mad Lock has driven almost all dragons into madness.
The leader of the Cult of Dracolich, Sammaster, wants to use this extremely powerful mystery chain to enslave all dragons.
Because of Sammaster's ambition, countless lives have been destroyed by the terrifying dragon's breath.
The arcane masters of the Spiritual Enlightenment Sect successfully used prophetic magic to lock the location of the mystery lock.
It turns out that the Dragon Mad Lock was actually hidden by Sammaster in the fog of history.
As long as this mystery lock is destroyed, the conspiracy of the Dracolich Cult can be completely shattered!
This dungeon challenge is divided into three stages, and settlement will begin immediately after all levels are cleared.
Players can open the dungeon challenge by projecting a mirror image through the fog door in the town.
Chapter 1: Natural disaster of the undead.
Chapter 2: Entering the castle.
Chapter 3: Battle against the Dragon Lich.
All drops from this dungeon challenge will be auctioned with points after settlement.
Players can use the points earned in this expansion to auction the items they need.
Ai Lan carefully read the information posted on the official website several times.
"In the third chapter, the hero-level boss appears in person."
In other words, players can actually participate in only the first and second chapters.
In addition, for the invasion of the castle in Chapter 2, the official directly gave the challenge level.
Invasion of the Castle: Challenge Level 8.
The meaning of challenge level is that a complete team can successfully defeat the enemy without reducing the number of members.
The challenge level of 8 roughly means that a team (10 people) of players with an average level of 8 can successfully clear this dungeon without losing members.
Level 8, Ai Lan’s total level is only level 8.
Searching the entire new world, how many players can reach level 8?
Chapter 2 is not for low-level players at all.
The official didn't say it directly. If you are below level 5, just go to the first chapter.
These three battlefields do not start one level after another, but start at the same time.
And you must clear all three chapters before the expansion pack can be settled.
Ai Lan originally wasn't particularly concerned about the undead disaster in the first chapter.
But when he saw the points calculation mode in Chapter 2, he immediately frowned.
Chapter 2: Invading the castle requires players to form a team to enter.
The calculation of points is based on the contribution made by each player in the copy.
"So troublesome?"
Ai Lan took a look at the guild channel of game geeks and found that these game masters were already calling for team formation.
He also saw many people who extended invitations to him.
However, Ai Lan is really not very interested in forming a team to play dungeons.
Or he can be the leader of the group, and he can start a group and lead new members.
Or, he could clear this dungeon by himself.
Why bother when you go into a group as a group and get shouted at by a stranger inside?
"I'd better go fight the undead natural disaster."
Judging from the introduction on the official website, the first chapter gives a lot of points.
Moreover, this stage focuses on large-scale warfare, which is very suitable for the performance of his tree army.
——————
Next is the opening of the New World.
The opening up of the New World was something to be expected.
Recently, new players have been pouring in continuously, if the new continent is not opened.
With the current flow mechanism of wild creatures in the New World, there will soon be a situation where players will have no monsters to fight.
Six new continents were opened at once, indicating that the number of new players is definitely an astonishing number.
Ai Lan carefully read the information related to the New World on the official website several times.
"There is only one entry channel."
The only way to enter the New World is to try your luck.
Enter a random portal in the wild and you can be randomly transported to a new continent.
In addition, no matter whether you swim from the sea or fly from the sky, you cannot reach these six new continents that have just emerged from the sea.
The official website did not explain the specific reason, but it should be some kind of special protection mechanism.
In addition, in terms of levels, the official has indeed imposed restrictions.
The wild portal will only transport the chosen heroes below level 5 (excluding level 5) to the new continent.
Players of level 5 and above will only be randomly teleported to other places when entering random portals in the wild.
This rule clearly tells all players that the New World is for novices, and those with higher levels should just stay in the Old World.
Of course, how can players be honest?
As soon as he read the introduction to the New World, Ai Lan immediately thought of it.
In the lords' alliance, there must be many high-level lords who are planning how to lose levels.
There are many ways to drop levels, the simplest and fastest one is to absorb energy one by one.
Energy Absorption: Earth level 4 magic, which permanently lowers the target by 1 level and can be repaired by advanced restoration.
The most awesome thing about this spell is that the effect of lowering the level can be stacked.
In other words, if you take a few more hits, you can be directly reduced to level 0.
Of course, energy-absorbing spells need to be judged before they are effective. The higher the physical fitness, the easier it is to resist.
There are two activities open at the same time, one rejects low-level players and the other rejects high-level players.
Players were forcibly divided into two groups based on level 5.
The number of daily active players in the new world has already exceeded 100 million.
Remove the largest number of low-level players.
Apart from those who cannot catch up in the wild, those who are not interested in fighting, and those whose fighting ability is too weak.
It is expected that nearly one million players will participate in this large-scale public dungeon challenge.
With so many players, plus soldiers, the number of creatures participating in the battle will exceed 10 million.
With such a huge army, it is naturally impossible for them all to be crowded together in one place.
In fact, information on the official website shows that the entire battlefield is divided into five areas.
The four directions of east, south, west and north are the entry points for players.
In the center of the battlefield is a black stone tower as tall as a cloud.
There are three chapters, and the entire content of the first chapter is to kill all the undead creatures on the dragon's bone ground.
In the second chapter, it was obvious that they must have broken into the tower.
Chapter 3 originally had little to do with players, but Ai Lan was most concerned about this chapter.
Because among the NPCs participating in the battle, Fastan was among them.
Moreover, this high-level arcanist is also the leader of the magic system in this war.
The opponent they face is a heroic-level Dracolich.
As soon as Ai Lan saw this BOSS's information, she couldn't help but feel a little worried.
If Fastan accidentally dies, his magic source won't explode, right?
"I hope she is a practical mage."
If Fastan was an academic mage, Ai Lan might not be able to sleep these nights.

Then read the version update announcement.
It seems that the game company is holding back a big move.
Three world announcements were issued in succession at one time, each of which would have an extremely huge impact on the new world.
Compared with the previous two, this version update is more powerful and has more changes.
After Ai Lan read it, she couldn't help but read it several times again. There were really too many changes in this version update.
1. Optimization and adjustment
1: Malicious damage to outdoor buildings will result in reputation penalties.
2: When the player's reputation with a certain camp is reduced to hatred, the camp will issue a bounty mission for the player.
3: Reduce the drop rate of set treasures and increase the drop rate of ordinary quality treasures (including blueprints).
4: Reduce the requirements for players to learn magic, and it will be faster to copy magic.
5: After a soldier is traded once, if he is traded again within two weeks, he will immediately rebel.
6: Once the set ability becomes invalid (change equipment), it needs to cool down for 24 hours before it can take effect again.
7: All combat skills can now be upgraded by increasing proficiency (life skills are included in combat skills).
8: After an item is used multiple times, its detailed information will slowly be displayed.
9: All wild elites will have a small probability of dropping small secret realm keys.
2. Function repair
1: Fixed the bug that the props in the backpack would not disappear after the player uses one-time props in the foggy battlefield.
2: Fixed the bug where players cannot see chats in other channels in the foggy battlefield.
3: Fixed the bug where players can use teleportation magic to teleport to the outside world in the foggy battlefield.
3. Adjustment of military units
1: Strengthen the perception of ocean currents by marine organisms in the sea.
2: Greatly enhance the tactile perception of dark creatures in the dark.
3: Slightly improve the independent judgment ability of elite units and urban residents.
4. Adjustment of elite units
1: Adjust the way to open the elite trial. After the total level reaches level 10, the elite trial can be opened at any time.
2: Added reward options for elite trials to give players more choices.
3: Added various signs that will appear when the hidden loyalty is reduced to 60 (including urban residents).
——————————
There are too many changes in this update.
Ai Lan looked at the stool many times before digesting it completely.
"This is a truly major version update!"
After this update, many gameplays and even the underlying rules have changed.
The most typical one is that combat skills can be upgraded by increasing proficiency.
Originally, this upgrade method was only available for basic skills.
Unexpectedly, after this update, all combat skills can be upgraded.
You know, it only took less than a week for Ren to upgrade Archery [Basic] to Archery [Mastery].
This change in setting has an extremely huge impact on the new world.
In addition, the biggest impact of this update on Ai Lan is the cooling time of the suit.
The emergence of this new setting restricts suit owners from changing and gifting suits at will.
If you don't change the equipment, it won't actually have any impact, but if you need to change equipment frequently, the impact of this setting will be great.
"This is to fix the equipment position."
There are three equipment slots in a set, and they cannot be moved arbitrarily. If you do so, you will have to wait 24 hours for it to take effect.
In addition to the increase in suit restrictions, Ai Lan is most concerned about the restrictions on soldier trading.
It takes two weeks to wait for a transaction, and those merchants who are stationed in the army will probably cry.
But for the first transaction, there is obviously no cooling time.
For example, if Meng Hu buys a team of pirates from the barracks, there is no limit at this time.
He can completely sell it to Ai Lan. After it is in Ai Lan's hands, there will be a two-week cooldown period.
This restriction is actually to restrict large companies and local tycoons from spending money unscrupulously and destroying the good ecology that a game should have.
The restrictions on soldier trading have been increased, but it seems to have no impact on Ai Lan.
In fact, in the long run, the emergence of this new setting will have the greatest impact on a lone wolf player.
Finally, the Wild Elite increased the drop of small secret realm keys, which made Ai Lan a little unhappy.
He had beaten so many elites in the field, and with such a sudden change, he always felt a bit disadvantaged.
Other updates, such as adding the independent judgment ability of elites, etc., will not see much change for a while.
It is the setting of hidden loyalty that makes Ai Lan a little concerned.
This is the first time an official has publicly acknowledged that the elites in the game have hidden loyalties.
From the current point of view, except for the sword dancer trainer who was abandoned in the swamp, there should be no problem with the loyalty of everyone else in his team.
"When I go back, it will definitely be half a month later. I always feel like something is going to happen in the wetlands and swamps."
He had no choice but to let him leave Papara there alone.
Not only that, but leaving them alone for a long time is simply more extreme than free-range care.
"After I'm done with this, I have to go back and take a look."
