As soon as he logged into the game, Liu Yifei quickly discovered the obvious difference after the upgraded version of the game!
In the game's login interface, the system has actually changed to a war CG animation that is automatically embedded and played!
And this animation intercepts two scenes that Liu Yifei is familiar with:
The first is the scene when the Dragon Queen Moriel came to the Tower Clan, with her huge 100-meter-long dragon body spreading her giant wings in the harsh cold wind of the Tower Clan~
There are also dozens of white-bearded archmages from the Tower Clan who are jointly casting spells to suppress the Dragon Queen’s magic power!
Liu Yifei could be said to have "personally experienced" this scene. He was deeply impressed and recognized it at a glance. (No..., pop-up window...
After the CG animation, there was a sudden jump to the second war zone with a different background. Liu Yifei had not experienced the war situation in this war zone personally, but he was very familiar with the people in the CG animation.
Surprisingly, it is the old vampire Toradre!
The scene shown was the scene where Thoradre commanded the Solna royal army to fight the enemy Jilie in the southern war zone!
And the so-called "enemies" are naturally the millions of huge elven players themselves~
Although in that "cleaning" battle, the elven players were definitely hard-pressed characters who "will not retaliate even if they are scolded or beaten"
But as far as the CG animation itself is concerned, the scene is still quite magnificent!
No matter how you put it, the millions of dense alien armies lined up on the ground at least look impressive!
Even if the order and fighting qualities of those people are actually much lower than imagined
Judging from the results of this simple login cg animation change, the war atmosphere rendered by the game itself is much stronger!
Inspired by the astonishing noises and whistling sounds that could only occur on a huge battlefield, Liu Yifei joined the game with great interest. Then he appeared in the Tower Clan where he had logged off before.
In the military camp of Mercury's former capital
The game time when online and offline is basically the same, but in fact, a full three days and seventy-two hours have passed~
It's just that such a passage of time is obviously impossible to be noticed by NPCs, so all NPCs are just doing what they were doing three days ago. It is as if nothing different has happened.
However, for players, this is a completely new and very different world!
The so-called "new world" is not just about various new settings and clarification of new rules. It is also about the slight changes in the player visual interface~
The biggest difference is that
The "game minimap" that was always displayed in the upper right corner of the visual interface is missing.
The role of the mini map cannot be ignored in the game. Hostile units are locked within a small range, automatic destination marking in town areas, and shortest shortcut selection are available.
It can be said that the "mini map" has brought constant convenience to players in the past~
However, one of the official update tips previously released was to “completely cancel the map system”!
Actually~
1683
Not only the small land in the player visual interface, but also the "big map" that players could switch to view has also been cancelled!
Nowadays, if players want to figure out where they are or the general terrain of a new area that has not been explored in depth, then the player can only "get a map". The "map" referred to is the kind that is actually drawn on parchment.
It is a real prop that players need to carry, rather than a service system that comes with the system~
Naturally everyone is aware of this change and there are many people complaining on the forum~
But after all, everyone has been cancelled, so everyone is equal. So there is not much room for complaint~
At the same time, the game company’s reasons are also very concise and powerful:
In the past, these convenient service peripheral systems were provided because players were still very fragile and needed better protection and guidance.
But now, everyone's strength is growing rapidly and will become extremely powerful!
There is no need for these auxiliary systems~
On the contrary, canceling these systems can also increase the overall mystery and difficulty of exploration in the world, and also make the game itself more playable.
Okay~
For the reason that it would make the game more playable, everyone accepted this setting.
But thinking about it carefully, Liu Yifei felt that it was another burst of subconscious joy!
He has had the "strange problem" of drawing wherever he goes for a long time. He has complained about it before ~
Unexpectedly, it seems that this time there seems to be another source of wealth silently?
Even if it is a simple matter like manufacturing rough maps and selling them in batches, if the research is done well, it will not be in vain!
Especially nowadays, there are very few ghost players from the elves and ghosts who want to sneak around while the elves players gather in large numbers at their own borders. In this regard, Liu Yifei does have quite a lot of route options to provide.
someone else's
There are quite a few small setting changes like this. Everyone needs to go there for a while to get familiar with them~
The updates on the big system are what people really want to try, and one thing you absolutely can’t miss is naturally the new “Honor Store”!
Liu Yifei's appearance was so well-known that he changed his clothes in the military camp and then followed the flow of people towards the teleportation array of the military camp and headed straight to the nearest tower-shaped city around the military camp.
This is because Liu Yifei has fought many battles for the Talou clan before, and his racial reputation is sufficient. Otherwise, I am afraid that he would really be unable to move forward at this moment~
If you want to experience the power of the "Honor Store", you have to go all the way back to your home territory first~
It's just that Liu Yifei's journey was by no means easy.
The further forward and closer to the goal, the more crowded the crowd becomes!
By the end, the entire team had come to a standstill! Liu Yifei was so angry that he wanted to recruit a big bone dragon to crush a bloody path out of the crowd!
It's a pity that this place is not the ghost clan's own territory after all. Otherwise, if Liu Yifei was really annoyed, he might really do that~
Everyone has experienced this feeling, such as when there is a serious traffic jam.
It only took Liu Yifei less than a minute to get from the military camp to the tower city. However, it took him more than an hour to get from the city teleportation array to the honor shop, which almost made him angry~
fine!
After officially entering the Honor Store, the situation has been greatly improved.
The spaces in this so-called "Honor Store" obviously overlap. That is, although players here can also see each other, their bodies are illusory and translucent, and weapons are completely prohibited, and they will no longer cause damage to each other.
Any congestion~
Now Liu Yifei really feels like a fish in water~
Because when tens of millions of people are crowded into such a small place at the same time, you can’t even see clearly who is who or any face. All you can see in front of you are densely packed overlapping figures and even
You can even see weird pictures of "half face" from time to time. It would be damning if someone could recognize Liu Yifei again~
No longer worried, Liu Yifei carefully examined the various exchange items that the "Honor Store" could provide~
In general, the types of items that can be exchanged are similar to those provided by the battlefield clerk in the war zone.
The slight difference is that the products in the Honor Store seem to be more "expensive".
Liu Yifei traveled all over the country and participated in many alien battles, so he still has a lot of say in this matter~
Generally speaking, the types of supplies and equipment provided here are about the mid-to-low-end categories that NPC kings can provide. They do not have the various high-end or even top-quality items that the clerk can provide in actual battles.
At the same time, prices have also increased significantly.
It is indeed an effective way to compensate, but if possible, the supplies players need are not as good as going to the war zone clerk to replenish them.
The "Honor Store" should be more of a compensation measure for players who do not have official battles breaking out around the game area.
After all, if there is no battle, there will be no battlefield scribes who can exchange items, but it is not necessary to be on the battlefield to obtain military merit. For example, Liu Yifei and the others have learned that "official craftsmen" want to earn military merit very easily~ For players in non-war zones
, now they finally have a place to spend the huge amount of military power they have in their hands.
Walking around the equipment area and supply area, Liu Yifei didn't find anything that aroused his interest.
Then he earned his latest "pet zone".
After the 3.0 version of "War and Bonds" was launched, the "Pet System" began to spread completely. Each player can spend money to purchase "Pet Boxes" of different grades. The lowest grade can only store three pets, while the highest grade one can only store three pets.
It can store ten. At the same time, it can also add some basic attributes to give the pet a small improvement~
Ordinary players naturally don’t have much choice. If they want to find a good pet, they have to go out and search hard.
But for "big lords" like Liu Yifei, it's much simpler~
As long as the hero himself agrees, players can now even spend money to turn hero NPCs who originally had to sign a contract and pay a lot of rewards into their contracted pets!
The convenience brought about by this is even "unconventional", and its help is no different from the soul crystals that Liu Yifei sold in large quantities before!
Of course~
The more powerful and autonomous a hero is, the more difficult it is to gain their approval.
After all, after becoming the player's contracted pet, it becomes a puppet that has completely lost its personal freedom. Whether it succeeds or not, the player himself has to do a lot of groundwork.
However, at least Liu Yifei has a subordinate Bomian who is very suitable to be transformed into a "pet"!
This original "legendary level" zombie mage hero was obtained by Liu Yifei in the ghost clan secret realm. It is powerful in itself, and even in the racial secret realm, it is a little king-like existence~
It's a pity that this guy was too ambitious. In the end, he angered His Majesty the "Sunsleeper", and Liu Yifei's "boss" at the time, Zaire, took the opportunity to kill him!
It's just that this guy's luck was really bad. He happened to bump into Liu Yifei and the others just when they developed the "Soul Bomb".
So Bomian's final end was that his soul was scattered, but his body remained.
It is true that the true power of heroes above the spiritual level lies in their souls themselves and their various intelligence powers. However, their "physical" strength cannot be underestimated~
After many rebirths and refining upgrades, their bodies not only retain a lot of residual strength from the past, but each upgrade within the rank is comparable to the improvement of the player's basic data by several levels or even more than ten levels!
Although Sunsleeper bluntly stated that "the combat power of Bomian who has lost his soul may not be stronger than that of a spiritual warrior", for Liu Yifei, this guy is an excellent human shield assistant!
Thinking back to the bloody scene of fighting dozens of rapidly charging knights at the main city gate of Bomian, a human race, Liu Yifei still vividly remembers it!
This guy is very powerful, but what he lacks is just the "wisdom" to fight. As he obeys Liu Yifei's advice, he may not even have the consciousness to refuse, so he can truly become Liu Yifei's personal bodyguard!
It may be difficult to find another home for such an excellent and powerful "pet". Liu Yifei will not miss it no matter what~
After careful selection, Liu Yifei finally decided to buy the most expensive pet box, which has an ultimate ten-space space and can also add a basic 100 points of strength attribute to the pet and 30 points each of the other basic attributes.
It's just drizzle in Anlai, but it's better than nothing~
What Liu Yifei expected was that in the system description, once a unit becomes the player's "pet", it will consume the new "pet food" regardless of its previous race type. If it does not eat enough, it will
After a pet goes into battle, its strength will decline by a certain percentage. If it is extremely hungry, the pet unit may even be unable to go into battle.
A top-level pet box cost Liu Yifei a full 30,000 military merit points. If you calculate that you can get 100 military merit points by killing an ordinary player with no additional military rank on the battlefield, you have to kill 300 people!
Good guy~
The title of "Three Hundred Killers" seems to be the basic goal for players in the future~
However, the consumption of pet boxes is just the beginning!
As long as the player successfully puts a pet in the pet box and is online, each pet will consume one unit of "pet food" every hour, regardless of whether it goes into battle or not. The price of one unit of "pet food" is as high as 300 military merits.
!
After seeing this price, Liu Yifei couldn't help but make a calculation in his mind.
If there is a cheating player who spends a lot of money to buy a top-level pet box, and then catches ten pets in one go
So as long as this idiot stays online for one full hour, he will have to collect at least three thousand military points to buy refined food to feed his pets, which means he will kill thirty people!
And we still have to kill thirty people every hour.
Of course, these thirty people cannot be killed casually. The enemies must be killed on the battlefield to receive military merit!
So calculated
Hiss~~~
Liu Yifei gasped subconsciously!
This is not encouraging players to go into battle to kill enemies at all, it is simply forcing players to go into battle to kill enemies!
If you don't kill it, the pet won't have anything to eat! And the pet's hunger is accumulated. If you don't feed it enough, the pet will dare to show you the chain at the critical moment~
So if others have pets to help but you don’t, it will create a huge gap in comparative strength!
In this way
Liu Yifei can almost imagine the tragic scenes on every battlefield in the future!
In order to feed their pets, players must be fighting to the death to kill their enemies. There is no need to rush them. When they catch their opponents, dozens of wolves will immediately pounce on them and cut them into pieces!
There is no way~
If you don’t kill enemies, you won’t be able to feed your family. Whose pets are so expensive to eat?
Of course~
I'm afraid no one with a little bit of brain would do the extreme situation Liu Yifei hypothesized.
Generally speaking, four or five pets are the limit for players. Otherwise, the consumption of food rations will be too great, and players will not be able to save extra military merit.
In the new "Honor Store", the equipment area, consumables area, and pet area are just the tip of the iceberg~
Liu Yifei kept walking and looking. Soon he came to the "Military Area".
In the new version 3.0 of the game, as long as players have accumulated a certain amount of military merit, they can spend it here and take the military test~
Once the player passes the military job test, the player will be able to obtain a military job badge, an equipment item with a special jewelry position.
Not only can this thing add certain basic attributes, it can even provide players with an additional military career aura, which can greatly increase the legion's combat power. The effect is absolutely remarkable!
Liu Yifei took a quick look and found that the military test cost for the lowest-level "Black Iron Captain" is a starting price of 5,000!
At the same level, there is also the "Bronze Captain" test which consumes 10,000 military merit!
The "Silver Captain" test consumes 15,000 military merits!
The "Golden Captain" test consumes 20,000 military merits!
After that, there are military ranks such as squadron leader, group leader, regiment commander, etc. However, the trick is that if you want to get a better senior military rank, you must be at least a low-level military rank of the same grade!
For example, a gold captain can obtain any quality squadron leader badge at will. However, if you want to take the "gold squadron leader" military badge, you must have the "gold captain" military badge.
Compared with the pet area, which may not seem big, but is actually a long-term consumption over many years, the test consumption in the military area is truly astronomical!
Even someone like Liu Yifei, who has an astronomical amount of military merits for freedom of movement, can't help but feel horrified!
Good guy~
Originally, he thought that the new "honor store" launched by the system was for the benefit of players, but now he realized that it was completely intended to force players into battlefield murderers!
If you don't kill people, you won't be able to afford pets or get military badges. Even if your basic strength is one level higher than your opponent, you may be beaten by a pervert with outstanding military achievements who relies on his military aura and powerful pets.
Get rid of
Originally, Liu Yifei thought that there were quite a lot of free resurrection opportunities three times a day on the battlefield, and many players even couldn't use them~
But once combined with the new content of this system update, it suddenly became tense and not enough!
If you want to earn more military merit, you will undoubtedly have to go to the battlefield more often, and the more people you go to the battlefield, the greater the chance of being killed.
That is to say, thanks to the fact that military merit is not deducted very much. Otherwise, the gap between coming and going would be even greater!
Although military merit will not be deducted, players will be downgraded if they die more than three times!
In the future, it is estimated that there will inevitably be situations where players become red-blooded and grab military honors regardless of their level on the battlefield.
But if you think about it carefully, this setting will actually be of great benefit to future lords!
As the most famous lord in the game world, Liu Yifei knows very well how difficult it is to recruit people to fight on the battlefield!
Although going to the battlefield has great benefits for the players themselves, many players often just don't want to be urged by the lords to do things.
As soon as you ask people to do something, they will ask you for benefits, and they will not do the work if there is no benefit.
With this new system, at least players will be more motivated to go to the battlefield in the future. All the lords need to do is to organize their manpower and ensure everyone's benefits as much as possible.
When talking about this aspect, what I have to mention is naturally the "Military Formation Material Area" launched by the lord for the territory!
As Director Zhou told Liu Yifei before, there are even special "military flags" that can be redeemed, and the value of the military flag is that it marks a special legion and also accumulates the number of enemies killed by the legion itself~
Once the legion breaks through a certain enemy-killing limit, it will receive additional titles and be allowed to add some symbolic patterns to the military flag. Each pattern can bring a halo-like ability bonus to the entire legion, which will also be the future elite
An essential necessity for the Legion!
Of course, the military flags are also very standardized, such as the "team flag" with a scale of only 100 people, the "regiment flag" with a scale of 500 people, the "military flag" with a scale of 3,000 people, etc.~
And the price
It was so high that even Liu Yifei couldn't help but be speechless!
Even for armaments that must be invested, when he saw the almost outrageous exchange demand, Liu Yifei couldn't help but want to silently greet the relatives of the system master.
Of course~
In addition to greatly enhancing the legion, "Military Flag" also has certain risks.
That is, once the military flag is planted, once the legion's single battle loss exceeds 70%, the system will default to the legion being defeated. Not only will the legion's gains disappear immediately, but the morale of the entire legion will immediately collapse and on the battlefield "
There’s no need to elaborate more on what “morale collapse” means, right?
All the powerful lords who have been fighting for a long time should know this~
But in addition to the "test" set by the system itself, the existence of the military flag has become a life gate that is most worthy of the enemy's risk!
For example, for an "ace army", the military flag may bring them as many as five or six strength bonuses, which is even enough to double the actual combat power of the entire army or even more!
In this way, if you want to reduce the risk of defeating such a legion, the best way is to "kill the commander and capture the flag" before starting the war!
The "military flag" is not allowed to be "hidden" in war, so it gives more elite players the opportunity to perform on the battlefield in the future.
Of course, it is conceivable that countless people will lose their lives because of this. Because the party protecting the flag will definitely send elites to surround the military flag.
In addition to military flags, which are new legion equipment that Liu Yifei has known for a long time, the Honor Store also provides exchange for various basic war machines, but they are only basic war machines of levels one to three, such as supply vehicles of level one, two, and three.
Level 1, 2, and 3 bed crossbows, level 1, 2, and 3 catapults, etc.
The effect is average, but what’s more troublesome is that it’s expensive~
Liu Yifei estimated that there might be a market for these things right now. Once players' territories are generally raised to level four or five and they can produce their own war machinery, the market for these things should not be that big.
As he walked around and looked at things, he was also calculating in his mind. Liu Yifei suddenly discovered a very interesting thing.
That is, after the "long accumulation" in the early stage, the system is rapidly increasing the actual value of "military merit"!
After the launch of the Honor Store, the military can exchange equipment, potions, pets, refined food and even various props needed by the legion. This thing is basically more like "money" than gold coins in the game!
What’s interesting is that because of the various military rank positions set up by the system itself, the more commanders, legion commanders, and great lords of a large legion, the easier it is for them to accumulate a large amount of surplus free military merit!
If things were to go in the past, Liu Yifei would naturally have no choice but to invest these large sums of "free military merit obtained by commanding" into new military strength in the territory~
But now it seems that military merit exchange products such as "pet food", which will definitely be consumed on a large scale, will also have quite a good market space!
And there will definitely be many players with money but lack of military merit on the market who want to buy similar items!
Doesn't this give high-power players like lords a natural profit margin?
When he first noticed this problem, Liu Yifei even thought that this thing was an error caused by the game company~
But think about it carefully
wrong!
It’s impossible for game companies to ignore such a serious problem!
Strictly speaking, this is more like the so-called "profit space" naturally constructed for lord players and legion commanders!
If you have the ability, sit in a high position, and you will receive military honors after sitting in a high position. If you get military honors, you can invest in the military strength of the territory and the strength of your subordinates. You can also exchange for some consumables that are better in the market, and then resell them for money.
Depend on!
It took me a long time~
The game company’s intention is still to make war profits!
It's just that it's not about making money yourself, but about giving the so-called professional players who make money through games a chance to make money!
And such a setting will definitely attract professional players to become more actively involved in the game and continue to climb to high levels!
Under the leadership of professional players, ordinary player legions can exert more powerful and effective combat effectiveness, rendering the battlefield more exciting and exciting!
The more exciting and exciting the game is, the more players will be willing to stay here, and it will continue to stimulate the market to expand consumption, and continue to give professional players more motivation.
Almost just through the intervention of a small "honor store" function, Longsheng Group instantly constructed an amazing potential virtuous cycle system in the game!
While not adding any additional investment, it allows professional players to have greater room to make profits, and the game itself has more exciting development potential. It also ensures that ordinary players have huge room to improve their strength.
Killing three birds with one stone is nothing more than that!
Almost instantly, Liu Yifei realized that the strength of the marketing planning staff in Longsheng Group was really extraordinary! He didn’t know who came up with such a “bad idea”. The potential of the entire game was suddenly wiped out.
Once discovered, what's more terrible is that it will greatly stimulate the players' enthusiasm and join them crazily on the grand battlefield of large-scale wars!
And isn't "war" the biggest core theme of the Longsheng Group from the beginning?
This title is really beautiful~
Even Liu Yifei couldn't help but think that it would be better to be silent for him!
Of course~
After clarifying these ideas, Liu Yifei was even more excited to join the "shopping army" trend~
Because he is sitting on the supply channel for the players' legions in the southern theater of the Kingdom of Solna, Liu Yifei's accumulated expendable military merits are definitely "astronomical" levels!
It just so happened that the game was updated with so many good things all at once. I would be sorry if I didn’t consume them properly~
However, just when he was about to take a good look around to see what else he needed to add, a reminder message from a forum suddenly popped up.
Liu Yifei clicked it open without caring, eh? Xuelan's?
He subconsciously opened his friend list, only to find that Xue Lan was not online, so it was weird~
Doesn't she want to see what good things come out in today's system update?
What's even more strange is that the little assassin guy is not here either!
Hey~
This is true
Liu Yifei didn't know what to say, so he had to click on the forum letter to see what was specifically said.
However, the first sentence of Xue Lan's letter shocked Liu Yifei!
"No one answered your home phone call. The phone seems to have been turned off. Come to the forum quickly. Something happened to the little assassin. He seems to have been injured!"
What?
The little assassin was injured???
Liu Yifei was shocked for no reason, and a very bad premonition suddenly surged into his heart!
Without any hesitation, Liu Yifei directly logged out of the game in the Honor Store, then immediately logged into the forum account and directly found Xue Lan, who was still online.
"What's going on?
Is the little assassin injured?
What's going on?
Is everything okay?"
“Ehehehe!
Slow down~
Nothing serious happened to him, but don't worry.
If you continue to rush and something happens, it will be really troublesome~
You listen to me and speak slowly first.”
It turned out that among the few people, only the little assassin made it to the top ten of the final virtual reality fighting competition, and he had to participate in previous activities until very late.
So she had no choice but to let Yu Huangquan see her off.
This girl’s family seems to be really not simple. She even brought her own private jet to go out~
Normally, if you have a private jet for your own use, the little assassin should be the fastest to get home~
But until Xue Landu arrived home, neither the little assassin nor Yu Huangquan contacted her.
Feeling a little anxious, Xue Lan took the initiative to contact Yu Huangquan's family.
And the terrible thing is that she finally learned that the girl never went back until the end!
It was not until recently that Xue Lan received a call from the X People's Hospital of XX City. They said they had a few more injured patients and asked to contact her
And those injured were the young assassin and the three bodyguards who were following Yu Huangquan.
Among the four people, two bodyguards were slightly seriously injured, even breaking two ribs each, while the young assassin and the other bodyguard had minor injuries, mainly minor scratches and some bruises and swelling.
Kind of~
The only good thing is that the sickly girl Yu Huangquan did not suffer any real harm.
What's more troublesome is that
This doesn't look like an accident, it looks like
It's like someone's targeted attack
"Targeted murder?
How do you say that?”
Although there was no big reaction on his face, Liu Yifei's whole face collapsed!
Xue Lan, who understood his character, naturally knew it. At this moment, Liu Yifei was probably completely furious!
If he really gets hold of evidence of the other party's malicious intent, given Liu Yifei's current financial resources, this guy might actually be able to do something exciting.
"Don't be impatient!
The girl from Huang Quan didn't explain clearly what the specific situation was over there.
So I want to ask you where you are right now.
No one answered my home phone calls.
If it's convenient, I hope you can come and join me and we can go on a field trip. Some issues can only be explained clearly in person."
