Chapter 779 The Fourth System Update

Wu Qi's "all people are fighting" plan made Bai Qi's left army a little embarrassed, and this plan was also very vicious. No matter which side wins after the war, Mengding County will be in ruins.

Bai Qi also has a headache for this. Since the enemy was fighting against all the people, the Shanhai City army killed all the locals. Even if Shanhai City takes over Mengding County in the future, it will be difficult to get the support of the local people because of the deep hatred.

But it won't work if you don't fight.

Such a vicious plan was not carried out in Dongchuan County, naturally because the [Yanhuang League] had already regarded Dongchuan County as their territory, so they were willing to do so.

As for Mengding County, which was surrounded by Shanhai City, they couldn't get it anyway, so there was nothing to be ruthless about.

It's just that the lords of Mengding County suffered a lot and were buried with them. The lords of [Yunnan City-State], now they can see the true face of [Yanhuang League], they are a group of vicious wolves who are only interested in profit.

It's a pity that they have already boarded the wolf chariot, and they can't get off again.

…………

Despite the difficulty of advancing, Bai Qi did not do nothing.

While attacking Mengding County, the "Black Chess" plan was quietly being laid out.

The team responsible for transporting food, grass, weapons and other materials for the Left Army had already occupied the land in Mengding County, and some of the materials would suddenly disappear into the mountains, and it was unknown where they were smuggled.

And this is part of the "Black Chess" plan.

The Yunnan battle is going through the brewing period before the peak duel, and the final result of the battle will test the chess skills of both sides during this period.

*************

Time is approaching Gaia for four years, and the focus of the wilderness has temporarily left the battlefield in Yunnan.

Players began to look forward to the upcoming system updates, as well as the usual expansion packs. High-end players have a little expectation for the first global auction.

Even Ouyang Shuo wanted to go back to Shanhai City temporarily.

Of course, the battle in Yunnan will not stop because of the shift of focus, but according to Bai Qi's speculation, the current stalemate will last at least ten days and a half months.

Therefore, Ouyang Shuo suppressed his thoughts temporarily and quietly rushed back to Shanhai City to deal with some urgent matters.

…………

On December 30th of the third year of Gaia, a system announcement resounded all over the world.

"World Announcement: On the occasion of the third anniversary of the operation of "Earth Online", the game will undergo a fourth update, which will take effect immediately. For details, please log on to the official website to check."

Whether it is an adventure player or a lord player, it is extremely concerned about the annual system update. A small change may affect their future decisions.

In the third system update, Gaia canceled the super trading platform, and the national channel, guild channel, and alliance channel, and even the player's level were all cancelled.

Its purpose is to enhance the realism of the game.

A year has passed, and the players have experienced labor pains again and again before gradually adapting to the new game rules.

At the same time, the continuous emergence of new media, film and television dramas, mercenaries and other new things has injected new vitality into the game and provided a new way of playing.

I don't know what new changes have been made in this system update, so as soon as the announcement came out, Ouyang Shuo immediately logged on to the official website to check the update.

[1] Establish a relationship between the royal city and the territory.

Between the royal city and the player's territory, four different levels of power relations can be formally established: "hostile", "neutral", "friendly" and "close".

The establishment of the relationship between the two parties shall be based on the negative relationship.

For example, if Dali Wangcheng established a "neutral" relationship with Shanhaicheng, and Shanhaicheng established a "hostile" relationship with Dali Wangcheng, then the relationship between the two parties is officially established as "hostile".

This setting is precisely to avoid one party's wishful thinking.

Different power relations will affect the interaction between the royal city and the player's territory. The specific impact will have to be explored by the lord player himself.

What is clear is that once the two sides are in a hostile relationship, the lord may find it difficult to recruit people in Wangcheng, and even normal trade exchanges may be affected.

Previously, Chengdu announced that Shanhai City was hostile, but it was Liu Bei's statement. After this system update, this hostile relationship can be formally established.

Therefore, without hesitation, Ouyang Shuo directly set Chengdu as "hostile" on the lord's operation panel. The remaining eight royal cities are all set as "friendly" relations.

Now let's see how these royal cities will respond to Shanhai City.

Ouyang Shuo could see through it at a glance, the greater significance of this update lies in the fact that the Royal City has a greater space for maneuvering and can exert greater influence on the wilderness territory.

To put it bluntly, Gaia is gradually "releasing" the royal city.

Every royal city is not just a royal city. They have millions of soldiers, countless civil servants and generals, a large number of talents of all kinds, and a population of tens of millions.

And these are all trapped within the royal city, and the largest area is only one county where the royal city is located.

Each royal city is like a compressed nuclear bomb. Once it explodes, an empire can be established in a short time to deter the wilderness.

In view of the special environment in China, the future Wangcheng will definitely be the old enemy of the player's territory.

【2】Open the arena.

"Earth Online" has a setting that is most criticized by adventure players. On the one hand, Gaia has established a severe death penalty, on the other hand, there is no friendly competition mode.

In the game, the PK between players is real. Even if it is a friendly exchange, if you accidentally kill the opponent by mistake, you can only consider yourself unlucky and reincarnate obediently.

At the end of the third year of Gaia, as the outer map of the royal city was completely explored, the playability of adventure players was slowly decreasing, and the resentment of players was slowly accumulating.

Now Gaia finally responds to the demands of adventure players and opens the arena. Players PK in the arena, there will be no loss after death.

Not only that, but the arena also has a point system, players can use points to exchange for exclusive equipment in the arena, which can be regarded as a kind of compensation for players.

For some PK madmen, it is indeed a major benefit.

Even if you are not a PK madman, you can use the platform of the arena to hone your skills and improve your actual combat ability.

【3】Open guild city and underground world.

This update is also the most important one in this system update.

In the four years of Gaia, the nine king cities will each set up a satellite city outside the city to divert adventure players.

At the same time, the satellite city can be captured. As long as the guild takes over the satellite city first during the system mission issued by the king city, and successfully occupies the satellite city for 24 hours, the satellite city will belong to the guild.

Therefore, such satellite cities are also called guild cities.

There is no greater temptation for guilds to own a city as a guild residence.

At the same time, in order to enhance the vitality and attractiveness of the guild city, and improve the operability, Gaia will also link another major update "underground world" with the guild city.

According to Gaia, there is a vast underground world beneath the ground. There are more ferocious monsters, tougher bandits, richer resources and more adventurous tasks and so on.

In a word, the underground world is a paradise for adventurers, which is equivalent to an advanced map. In the next few years, the main venue for adventure players will be the underground world.

With the vastness of the game map, how wide is a mirrored underground world? I am afraid that by the end of the game, there will still be some areas that will not be set foot by adventure players.

Of course, the underground world is only open to adventure players, but it has nothing to do with lord players.

The entrance to the underground world is located in the satellite city of the Nine Kings City.

In this way, the guilds that own satellite cities can use this as a foundation to open up the underground world while attracting other adventurers to build satellite cities.

For the guild, it is simply a milestone.

And this is the "secret" that Ouyang Shuo told his aunt Lin Jing in advance.

I also want to know, in order to compete for these nine satellite cities, what kind of life and death fight will be launched by the major guilds. Once a satellite city is occupied, its dominance is unshakable.

As soon as this update came out, all adventurers were excited.

All the guild leaders are eager to fight, their eyes are red, and they can't wait to fight now.

【4】Wangchengmen martial arts school was added.

At the same time as the opening of the satellite city, the Nine Kings City will open the Martial Arts Hall. Unlike ordinary martial arts halls, the Martial Arts Hall teaches the basic martial arts of the major martial arts schools.

When a player joins a martial arts school, it is actually equivalent to choosing a certain school.

For adventure players, this is another huge change. Players realize that a highly anticipated arena is slowly unveiling its mystery.

If the satellite city is prepared for the major guilds, then the Martial Art Museum will benefit all adventurers. Two major updates solve the dilemma of adventure players.

The future of adventure players suddenly becomes full of imagination.

A more grand and interesting game world is slowly unfolding in front of the players.

…………

Gaia did not favor one over another this time. Martial arts halls are not only open in the Nine Kings City, but also in the player territories at the county level, lord players can also choose to open the corresponding martial arts halls according to their personal preferences.

The sects to choose from include five sects, thirteen sects and eighty-one sects in the martial arts world.

The five sects are Shaolin authentic, Kunlun authentic, Wudang authentic, crescent eyebrow authentic and lotus authentic.

The thirteen schools are the Xiaoyao School, the Wushan School, the Moshan School, the Hengshan School, the Bashan School, the Shushan School, the Kongtong School, the Heishan School, the Secret School, the Shendu School, the Emei School, the Qingcheng School and the Overseas School.

The last eighty-one gates are more, mainly including Xingyi Gate, Black Tiger Gate, Mantis Gate, Long Spear Gate, Backer Gate, Taishan Gate, Huashan Gate, Tianshan Gate, King Kong Gate, Wufeng Sword Gate, Eagle Claw There are eighty-one sects, including Bajimen, Yaowangmen, Yizihuijianmen, Xuedaomen, Tanjumen, Wuhumen, Sichuan Tangmen and Tiejianmen.

Let Ouyang Shuo choose, he was a little dumbfounded.
