Chapter 304: Tier 2, Game Update

A great earthquake at Marine Headquarters.

"In the Samsara Game, isn't it possible to resurrect? Who could violate the game merchant's rules and kill Akainu directly?"

Marshal Sengoku's breathing was heavy, his brows nearly twisted into a knot; even when encountering players from other worlds and being ambushed by Orochimaru, the worst outcome they had anticipated was the loss of a large amount of Reward Points.

Never had he expected that a Marine Admiral would actually die in battle.

Vice Admiral Tsuru sighed and said, "That player named Orochimaru, according to those ninja, is the strongest in their world."

No matter how it is covered up,

because they came into contact with the Samsara Game earlier, the strength of the ninja world is slightly stronger than the Pirate World.

And among them, Orochimaru is the strongest player in the ninja world.

It stands to reason that Akainu was counter-killed while trying to intercept the opponent.

Marshal Sengoku said with a gloomy face, "I am asking about Akainu's death; could it be that Orochimaru can violate the rules?"

"Let's wait until Akainu resurrects and hear it from him."

Vice Admiral Tsuru shook her head; fortunately, Marine Headquarters had accumulated several Resurrection Coins when they hunted the 【Soul-Snatching Messenger】 back then.

They can resurrect a life that has already died directly, without any side effects.

"That is all we can do."

Sengoku looked pained,

taking a Resurrection Coin from the logistics warehouse to resurrect the fallen Akainu.

A beam of white light flashed.

The figure of the fallen Sakazuki was gradually pieced together within the light.

He blinked his dazed eyes, originally wanting to open his mouth, but upon seeing the situation clearly, he immediately fell silent.

"Was I resurrected?"

As a Marine Admiral, Sakazuki naturally knew about the Resurrection Coins in the logistics warehouse.

In his memory, he had been killed by Orochimaru's Necrotic Army, so it could only have been a resurrection by the headquarters.

Sengoku took a deep breath and asked, "What happened?"

"It was a Rule-type Item, a Duel Badge capable of causing death."

Akainu described in detail Orochimaru's combat power and his various Weirdness abilities.

"The Fire Empire is the strongest nation, ostracized by all factions in the ninja world."

"As the ruler, Orochimaru's game status has reached the limit, and he has hunted several Lord-level monsters, so he possesses various Rule-type Items."

Nearby, the Navy from the Information Department recorded continuously.

Marshal Sengoku sighed and said, "It seems that from now on, even in the Samsara Game, absolute safety cannot be guaranteed."

"It was always like that."

Vice Admiral Tsuru did not look surprised, saying calmly, "The newbie map doesn't allow death, it's just to give players a transition period. We are now logged into a public map; it is impossible to become stronger without sacrifice."

What she worries about now is that once fierce competition begins in the Samsara Game, death will be inevitable,

and Resurrection Coins will become the most sought-after Rule-type Items, used to resurrect top players from major factions who die in battle.

And since Rule-type Items are only dropped by Lord-level monsters, any faction that does not want to be eliminated must seize the time to hunt more Lords.

"In the future, more and more players from other worlds will appear."

"Marine Headquarters must stand firm in this wave and become an extremely powerful force among all the worlds."

"We are the face of the world."

"The enemies used to be the Pirate and the Revolutionary Army, now there are extra players from other worlds."

"We must protect the justice of the Navy!"

In the following days,

most factions tacitly stopped showing themselves, with only a few regions seeing battles break out between players. The Rock Ninja and Cloud Alliance fought a battle against the two Emperors, Whitebeard and Shanks.

The outcome of the battle was unknown,

and after that, the players of the Dark Elf Kingdom split into two groups, neither interfering with the other, and neither encroaching on the other's hunting area.

At the Ten Thousand Year Snow Mountain, the Mist Ninja and the Revolutionary Army did not fight, but instead, as if reaching some kind of Contract, joined forces to scatter the forces of the Snow Ninja.

The Snow Ninja players who lost their base were forced to join the Mist Ninja or become wandering players.

Snow Ninja players who were weak and unwilling to bow their heads,

once they entered a Dangerous Region alone to hunt monsters for contributions and Reward Points, would be killed by Mist Ninja players.

Factions were constantly changing,

and just as the undercurrents were surging, a game notification sound appeared in every player's ear.

【Congratulations to players 【Genuine Joker】 and 【I Want to be the Pirate King】 for becoming Tier 2 players!】

【Samsara Game version has been updated.】

It wasn't just the Straw Hat Pirates,

but many players who wanted to take advantage of the chaos to break through to Tier 2 had also saved up enough materials and were quietly breaking through.

"Very good, one step closer to taking back Alabasta."

At the base of the Desert Circus, the cigar-smoking Sand Crocodile looked at the Life Solution remaining in the 【Second-tier Transformer】, enough for one more person to break through to Tier 2,

and walked into the instrument without hesitation.

"Damn Straw Hat, what a despicable guy, he actually thought the same as me."

Buggy did not expect that a player would break through to Tier 2 right after him, as if they had discussed it.

Seeing Caomao Lufei's game nickname, he was even more furious.

Buggy said angrily, "I knew it, that kid looks like an idiot, but he's actually very devious. I really want to see the Navy lock him up in Tui Jin Cheng."

The two already had a grudge in the game, and furthermore, since the other party inherited that bastard Shanks's straw hat, how could he possibly be a good person? "Captain, you should look at the game update content first."

The vice-captain Mohji felt helpless, unable to understand how his own Captain and Caomao Lufei could be so at odds with each other.

At the same time, all players logged into the game; even players who were hunting hurriedly returned to the towns,

to browse through this version update of the Samsara Game.

【Samsara Game Update Announcement】: Respected players, congratulations on having passed the novice period of the 【Samsara Game】 and becoming true Reincarnation Players who are about to shuttle through countless different worlds.

The Game Merchant has specifically made subtle adjustments to the Samsara Game:

New rules added: Leaderboard, Heavens Arena, Counterattack Mission, Killing System, Mercenary System.

【Leaderboard】: Players on the Combat Power Ranking, Equipment Ranking, and Skill Ranking lists can receive Reinforcement materials every month.

【Heavens Arena】: With a monthly time limit, compete to determine the genuine strongest player in actual combat (rewards are distributed monthly based on Arena rankings).

【Counterattack Mission (Otherworld Shop)】: After players accept a 【Counterattack】 mission, they will be randomly teleported to a contaminated different world, issued a random Main Quest, and can return after completing it.

Hint: Completing the Main Quest allows you to obtain Contribution Points for that world, which can be used to exchange for that world's skills, items, objects, etc.

【Killing System】: Acts of players killing each other within a Dangerous Region will accumulate Killing Value; the higher the Killing Value, the more severe the Death Penalty.

Removed rules: Item Drop, Death Protection, Game House.

【Item Drop】: Except for Lord-level monsters, public maps will no longer have Item Drops, producing only Reward Points and Contribution Points.

【Death Protection】: The daily three death limit is reduced to 【1】 time; Death Protection from the early game is no longer provided; after a player dies, experience will be deducted.

【Game House】: 【Random Key】 is cancelled.

The purpose of this update content is to help players better communicate and grow; thank you all for your contributions and support for the 【Samsara Game】.

Wishing you all great success in your martial endeavors.
