Chapter 216: Update
Translator: 549690339
Seeing the fierce yet tender expression on the young man’s face, Song Jian chuckled and took two steps forward.
“I’m warning you, don’t co any closer or you’ll be covered in blood! ” the teenager shouted angrily, retreating two steps.
The alley was dimly lit and had a strong sll of urine. Song jian didn’t want to stay here much longer, so he waved to the boy and asked, “What level are you in the ga?”
The teenager was startled and asked, “Are you a God-chosen too?”
“Cut the crap, we re just players. Don’t try to make yourself look good,” said Song Jian. “How did you end up resorting to robbery? You don’t think you’re tarnishing the na ‘God-chosen’?”
The teenager showed an awkward expression and scratched his head. “I’m just a beggar, 1 don’t have any other skills besides stealing.”
“So you’ve upgraded from begging to robbery?” Song Jian waved his hand, “Co on out, it’s too slly in here.”
The teenager reluctantly walked out, holding his switchblade, but his eyes still showed a hint of vigilance.
“What’s your na? What level are you in the ga?” asked Song Jian as he walked ahead with the teenager following behind him.
“I’m Zhang Ergou, level 10 in the ga!” the teenager answered quietly.
“Level io? Already built a safe house? Not bad!” Song Jians eyes flashed with surprise. He knew that in the ga, fewer than one in ten players had built a safe house.
“Just luck!” Zhang Ergou s eyes showed a hint of pride.
“Can’t you bring items out of the ga? Wouldn’t selling a few be enough instead of resorting to robbery?” Song J ian was puzzled.
“I couldn’t find anything valuable to bring out. All the items were useless…” Zhang Ergou was frustrated. He had been playing the ga for over a month without finding any valuable items to bring out of the ga.
Song Jian smiled wryly, knowing that it really depended on their luck.
“So what are your plans for the future? Continue being a thug and stealing on the streets?” Song Jian asked.
Zhang Ergou’s face darkened, feeling his pride wounded. He snorted, “That’s none of your business, hmph!”
With that, Zhang Ergou imdiately jumped onto a nearby wall and landed on the roof. Standing on the roof, he shouted at Song Jian, “Mind your own business, and be careful not to lose your life in the ga!”
Song Jian was taken aback, watching Zhang Ergou disappear. He didn’t know what to say.
Zhang Ergou was the first player Song Jian had t in the real world. He originally wanted to develop a good relationship and possibly ally with him, but they had a falling out after just a few words.
“No wonder he’s called Zhang Ergou. He really has a dog face, turning against just like that, and 1 was even planning to give him ten or twenty thousand…” Song jian muttered under his breath as he walked towards the rental house with his sword.
With two million in his pocket, Song Jian planned to buy a house first, so he’d have a place to store items brought from the ga. He didn’t feel safe leaving valuable items in a rental house.
After returning to his room and malting himself a simple lunch, Song Jian took a short rest and then picked up his Eight-sided Sword to practice indoors.
The space in the room was limited, but it didn’t stop Song Jian from practicing the basic moves of his sword technique. Half the day passed quickly, and darkness began to fall.
Song Jian freshened up, changed into loose clothes, drank a glass of milk, and placed his phone on the bedside table before lying down quietly in bed.
Soon, rhe phone on the bedside table lit up automatically, as did the Doomsday City ga icon, which turned into a spinning red vortex.
A skeletal arm erged from the vortex, grabbed Song Jian, and pulled him into the phone.
After a dizzying mont of weightlessness, Song Jian opened his eyes and found that he hadn’t entered the ga directly, but had arrived at the stage where mainline missions were calculated.
Every ti a player completed a mainline mission and left the ga, they would enter this space for calculation. During his last mainline mission, Song Jian received an S-ranking reward: the next ti he entered the ga, his Vitality Points recovery rate would be increased by 300%. Song Jian roughly understood why his ranking was two levels lower this ti; it was most likely because he had abandoned the side mission offered by the dwarf blacksmith from the Doomsday Blacksmith Shop.
This alerted Song Jian about the importance of side missions. If he completed them, his ranking would improve, but if he failed, it would decrease. It was a double-edged sword.
“But why didn’t 1 enter the ga directly this ti? Why was 1 sent to this calculation space?” Song Jian wondered.
At that mont, rows of golden text appeared in front of Song Jian:
After carefully reading through the information, Song Jian finally realized that the ga had its first update. This update had a lot of changes, with the most significant ones being the cancellation of the requirent to complete mainline missions to leave the ga;
Additionally, so other updates made Song Jian feel quite surprised.
“The real world and ga world’s ti flow ratio is 1:24, so one hour in the real world makes one day pass in the ga!”
“Each ti you enter the ga, you can stay for at most one week, which is seven days in the real world. After the ti is up, the ga shuts down automatically!”
“Added roaming NPC – Pet rchant. You can buy pets if you et them! Added Pet Contract Scroll to System Shop. When a monster’s Vitality Points are below 5%, you can use the Pet Contract Scroll for a chance to capture it as a per!”
“Added a special building – Auction House. There are City Auctions and World Auctions! No handling fees and mailing costs for City Auction House items; World Auction House will have high handling fees and mailing costs!” “Increased the number of side missions, lowered their difficulty, and added regional missions. Upon completion, players will receive nurous rewards!” Song Jian carefully read through the densely packed update information and changes. The changes were made to avoid inconsistencies in the flow of ti for players entering and leaving the ga at the sa ti due to the difference in the completion speed of mainline missions. These inconsistencies would likely consu a significant amount of resources, malting the ga difficult to maintain, and eventually had to be changed to fix the ti flow speed between the real world and the ga world.
As for the other changes, they served to enrich the ga content. Song Jian believed that this wasn’t the last update, and more content would be added in the future.
“What is the ultimate purpose of this ga? To create gods?” Song Jian furrowed his brow, gazing at the starry-space-like settlent area beneath his feet while speculating silently.
