Chapter 121: Major Version Update: Armed Vehicles (Requesting Monthly Votes)

Meng Yuan Chu Altar.

Qi Sheng monitored the entire campaign between the player legion and the Black Wind Clan.

After the campaign ended, the players reaped rich rewards; the thirty-plus warships produced a total of 8.26 million Shou Shou Jili resources.

After the players sacrificed, he took a 30% cut of the resource yield, while the hourly Shou Shou Jili production yield gradually recovered to normal levels.

But in this battle, he also discovered many issues in the settings.

First was the insufficient area of the starter village space.

When players from the Di Zhai Mountain Range starter village or the Colorful Mist Coast starter village gathered in either space, it would become overcrowded, making movement difficult.

This problem can only be solved once players contain new domain nodes.

What he must do is first expand the capacity of these two spaces as much as possible, then consider splitting and opening new spaces.

Otherwise, if the battlefield in one of these spaces faces an invasion or other unknown trouble, a large number of players rushing to support will be severely restricted by the space's activity range; as the number of players increases, this problem will become even more severe.

Before containing new domain nodes, the only thing he can do is open several more passages leading outside the space to avoid personnel congestion.

Second was the optimization issue of the spatial satchel.

He discovered that many players' spatial satchels had already reached a state where they could not hold items.

In the initial settings, he equipped players with a 30-cubic-meter storage satchel space, with each square meter set as one grid.

Small item props like medicines could be stacked within the same space.

Items exceeding the volume range of a single grid would occupy other satchel grids.

As for goods exceeding the capacity area, they could not be stored into the spatial satchel.

For example, the player who sacrificed the Broken Star Shuttle last time first stored the shuttle into the spatial satchel, then opened the sacrifice function to perform the sacrifice.

The reason this time the warships needed to be dismantled before sacrifice was because the warships' volume was too massive to be stored into the players' spatial satchels.

In the early server-opening stage, the 30-cubic-meter space was completely sufficient; players didn't even know what to store.

Bored players would even store roadside stones, branches, and other useless clutter inside.

Spirit food, potions, spirit plants... as the game developed, more and more props and items could be stored into the spatial satchel.

The current situation is that many players' spatial satchels have already become full; they need to clean them daily to free up empty slots.

Especially for players like arms dealers and fishing groups, who carry particularly many props, their demand for spatial satchel space is huge; the current satchel space can no longer meet their needs.

In the foreseeable future, as players' strength increases and the scope of world exploration expands, the situation of insufficient spatial satchel space will become even more severe.

This is clearly an urgent problem that needs solving.

Qi Sheng plans to grant players the permission to burn Shou Shou Jili to open spatial grids, allowing players with needs to expand their satchel area themselves.

As for the cost of opening spatial grids, the expense is 50 points of Shou Shou Jili.

Unlike other races crafting spatial props, which require complex technical craftsmanship and precious material consumption.

Players possessing Shou Shou Jili can save most useless expenses; they only need 50 points of Shou Shou Jili to open new space, with no limit on the number of spatial grids.

This function is also built upon the Guidance Avatar.

Essentially, the spatial satchel is not on the player's body, but inside the Guidance Avatar accompanying the player.

The last problem is the players' travel speed.

Players going out to explore both love and hate the enormous world environment.

What they love is the unlimited freedom of exploration; everywhere they see can be reached, all scenes have no repeated modeling in the players' eyes, and every detail is exquisitely perfect.

What they hate is that the huge map has no transportation tools; exploration is very troublesome. If they walk too far, returning to the village requires consuming huge amounts of energy and time; it would be more convenient to just die and return to the village.

But the 10 points of Shou Shou Jili consumed each time death occurs makes many players feel heartache.

Already, quite a few players have posted suggestions on the forum, hoping the official side can set up several more spatial teleportation nodes to cover the entire map, so players can explore very conveniently.

Or create some special vehicles for players to facilitate travel efficiency.

Qi Sheng realized this problem just a few days after the server opened.

At that time, conditions were limited; it wasn't that he didn't want to solve it, but he had no money to solve it.

Now, he already has a clear solution.

One hour ago, he received hyper-dimensional feedback: the test for the Armed Vehicle function docking with the Challenger System was completed and perfectly matched the system's operation.

That is to say, the long-awaited Armed Vehicle function can now be officially launched.

Regarding this, Qi Sheng had no intention of hiding it.

He plans to start a major version update on the game content now, launching new functions to provide players with a better gaming experience.

Five minutes later, the game update prompt rang in all players' minds and simultaneously published the update details on the forum in real time:

【Version Update Prompt (All Channels): The game is about to undergo a 2.0 major version update. The content of this update is as follows.】

(Tip: This update is an online update; players do not need to log off and wait.)

……

Accompanying the update notification, the Di Zha Village trembled, and a brand-new building rose from the ground.

The building's shape resembled a steel giant beast, its surface covered by a layer of flowing silver film, shimmering with a cold luster under the golden wheel shining from above the space; the walls were not simple straight lines or planes, but constructed from countless intricate geometric shapes, presenting an ordered beauty within disorder; the roof design was particularly unique, with a steel mechanical arm hanging above it.

After the new function building rose from the ground, it assembled quickly; the factory's main gate, like a giant alloy-made sluice gate, opened slowly, as if a giant beast opening its mouth, waiting for the input of raw materials and technology.

Through the gate, one could see the intersecting spatial spirit patterns inside, as well as the operating assembly line machinery.

The appearance of the new function building immediately attracted a large number of players to head there.

At this moment, outside the Di Zha Village.

Pei Yun was following a team of scattered players, charging and killing within the Hei Chao Xie Sui.

Hearing the update notification, he immediately had the Neng De Xiang Fa to return to the village to understand the new function.

At this time, only three people remained in the team still fighting; the Stone Golem player ahead was already at critical health and could not hold on much longer.

"Captain, clear a path for me; I want to return to the village to test the new function."

"I'll clear a path for you right now; after I get out of the small black room, I hope to see your strategy post." Having spoken, the captain who played the Stone Golem Liu Wan Fa turned his head, bared his white teeth at him, and then started charging outward.

"Thank you, Captain." After expressing gratitude, Pei Yun followed the captain to launch a charge outward.

Fortunately, the intensity of this wave of Hei Chao was not high; he followed the captain and easily broke through the Xie Sui encirclement. At this moment, the captain chose to cover his retreat, waving goodbye to him:

"Brother Hei Ye, waiting for your strategy."

"No problem."

While giving the response, Pei Yun gulped down a bottle of potion, activated speed, and ran wildly towards the Di Zha Village.

Half an hour later, he passed through the invisible barrier and entered the Di Zha Village space.

Summoning the map function, besides the Painful Painful Minghun Test Tower and the Guild Hall, a new building marker appeared in the east district of the Di Zha Village, with the six large characters "Armed Vehicle Factory" printed on it.

When he arrived in front of the Armed Factory, he was immediately shocked by this huge steel factory before his eyes.

He could see a large number of players gathering nearby continuously, entering the factory to start experiencing the Armed Vehicle function.

Pei Yun also followed the flow of people into the factory at this time; accompanying the lighting up of the spatial spirit patterns beneath his feet, a notification popped up in his mind:

【Challenger Notification: Do you wish to activate the Armed Vehicle Factory mode? Each experience consumes 2 points of Shou Shou Jili. Yes/No.】

After using his consciousness to tap the option, a strong sensation of weightlessness attacked, and his vision became blurred.

When his vision cleared, he found himself appearing in a room full of technological sense; looking through the transparent glass in front, there was a venue similar to a race track.

Scanning around, he did not discover the figure of any other player nearby.

This made him realize that the Armed Vehicle Factory space, similar to the Painful Painful Minghun Test Tower, was an independent test scene.

In front of him was a control console and a streamlined seat full of technological sense.

With doubts, he came to the control console and sat down.

Immediately, a virtual screen popped up before his eyes:

【Armed Vehicle Factory】:

Function Introduction: Players can freely assemble and match armed vehicles within the factory; the assembled armed vehicles can serve as armor for use, or be freely switched into transport vehicles.

After the text introduction scrolled past, the product list automatically dropped down to present itself.

Price: 100 points of Shou Shou Jili.

……

Through the function introduction and the product introductions, Pei Yun already understood how to use the Armed Vehicle function.

Just like Lego blocks, players need to match different Shangcheng components to design a transport tool carrying the player.

And this tool can usually attach to the player in the form of armor, providing extra defense.

The freedom in assembly is very high; as long as one has design talent, any type of vehicle can be attempted for assembly.

After a preliminary understanding, Pei Yun began the assembly and matching of the armed vehicle.

Sliding the panel to enter the assembly interface, the panel background was mainly composed of deep cosmic blue and cold mechanical gray; in the center position was his 3D rotatable character model; on the right border was the vehicle assembly area available for inlaying.

Reaching out to press the Primary Armed Module on the left border and dragging it onto his model, immediately a light blue square appeared on his chest position; below were color options for free adjustment, as well as module shape selection.

After spending half an hour constantly trying, a fully armed suit of armor appeared on the 3D character model.

The shape of this silver battle armor was extremely domineering; under simulated lighting, it shimmered with a cold luster; the overall shape was smooth and full of a sense of power.

For the helmet part of the battle armor, he adopted an almost fully enclosed design, leaving only a narrow vision slit to ensure the wearer could see the external field of view; a pair of sharp silver horns extended from the top of the helmet; this design was purely to enhance recognizability and also to increase the overall aesthetic of the battle armor.

The chest armor part was the core of the entire set of armor, presenting a broad V-shape; in the center was inlaid a slightly glowing energy core; on the surface of the chest armor, he used Spirit Pattern Paint to print the two characters "Hei Ye"; the shoulder armor was wide and heavy, with edges presenting a sharp blade shape, which could provide extra protection in combat and also serve as an attack weapon.

Between the shoulder armor, the armed module structures were connected, forming a sturdy neck guard that could protect the safety of his neck.

For the battle armor arm part, he adopted a flexible joint design, allowing the wearer to obtain defensive protection without affecting the smoothness of movements.

The design of this battle armor consumed a total of 397 armed vehicle modules, one energy core, and three spiritual pattern coatings... totaling 5328 points of Shou Shou Jili, all using basic prop materials.

Using consciousness to tap the "Wear Experience" on the panel, his vision instantly blurred.

When his vision cleared, he found himself inside the panel environment, already wearing the silver battle armor he had designed with his own hands.

He tried jumping, running, and moving; there was no discomfort, but there were problems with his vision.

The nearly enclosed helmet, designed to protect the head, was clearly unsuitable for a magic-type player like him; the range of environmental observation was severely compressed, with only a slit through which to see the outside scenery.

Switching back to the assembly panel, he removed all armed modules from the helmet, spent five minutes reassembling an open-face helmet that only protected the skull and the back of the head, saving eight armed modules.

After trying the simulation experience again, Pei Yun nodded in satisfaction.

With the armed part simulation test finished, he switched the panel to the vehicle assembly panel.

Vehicle assembly and matching were the same as armed assembly; modules used on the armor could be reconstructed to assemble a transport tool capable of carrying the player.

As for how to assemble, a small hint on the right side displayed that assembly on the energy core must be performed first.

He dragged the energy core into the simulation interface, placed it in the center of the grid, and then covered it with armed modules.

Vehicle assembly was far more complex than armed assembly.

The simulation test panel had functions such as wind resistance and complex terrain available to ensure the vehicle could drive normally in different environments.

And one of the most important parts of a basic vehicle was the power tire.

If one had money, one could also assemble a flying vehicle, but the Shou Shou Jili consumed would become terribly terrifying; it would require an extra fuel system and the inlaying of one-time Consumable Item energy crystals.

The 397 armed modules were quickly exhausted; Pei Yun was stunned to find he had only assembled the shape of a small half of an off-road vehicle.

So he decisively pressed one button to restore, reduced the vehicle's volume range, and refilled it.

But this attempt also ended in failure; the armed vehicle modules were clearly insufficient.

Having no choice, he could only add extra armed modules, completing the vehicle assembly by consuming more Shou Shou Jili.

One hour later, a miniature off-road vehicle appeared in the simulation scene.

Next came the performance test and usage.

The first thing he did was a wind resistance test.

The first test environment was a flat desert highway.

The pop-up interface had settings for wind strength and wind direction angle that could be changed at will.

First was the test under low wind speed.

During the measurement process, the top right corner showed the changes in the drag parameters of the small off-road vehicle he assembled, allowing him to judge the vehicle's aerodynamic performance and measure the magnitude of the vehicle's resistance in a flowing medium.

This round of tests took half an hour; during that time, Pei Yun constantly switched back to the assembly interface to optimize the vehicle's shape.

Next was the environmental test; the selectable environments included swamps, sandy ground, mountains, jungles, Gobi deserts, snowfields, and sea surfaces, etc.

Each scene could also adjust weather changes; the selectable weather states included: rainy days, snowy days, thunderstorms, sunny days, and so on.

Each weather type could also be finely adjusted for intensity.

In this round of tests, Pei Yun once again discovered local problems in the assembly and switched back to the assembly interface to make detailed modifications, adding or removing parts.

After the preliminary tests were completed, Pei Yun began to personally take the wheel.

In driving mode, the vehicle's usage was not as complex as in reality; there were no functions like steering wheels, brakes, or clutches.

Control was achieved through consciousness docking.

One could also adjust the vehicle's direction changes, even forward and backward movement, through consciousness.

During the in-depth test phase where he personally took the wheel, Pei Yun was completely rendered speechless by his own assembly.

Many problems were only discovered after personally taking the wheel; they were not noticed at all during the preliminary test phase.

Especially in the test environment of bumpy roads, it almost made him vomit.

This made him realize that a suitable vehicle must be equipped with a suspension function.

So a new round of assembly began again.

Through constant testing and debugging, Pei Yun finally obtained a small off-road vehicle that could almost adapt to all terrains.

Except for lacking assembly parts that could be loaded for navigation on the sea, the vehicle could easily cope with other terrains, and the driving experience was very comfortable.

Switching back to the armed function, he reforged the extra armed modules consumed by the vehicle into a silver battle armor through fusion, ensuring no extra modules were wasted.

After the in-depth tests were completed, he began to enter the combat simulation scene.

Instantly, a set of silver-white battle armor appeared on his body; in the blink of a thought, the silver-white battle armor decomposed and reconstructed in front of him, turning into a small off-road vehicle.

With a single thought, the small off-road vehicle automatically decomposed, flew toward him, attached to his body surface, and reformed into silver-white battle armor.

The switch between armed and vehicle modes was very smooth.

Summoning the simulation panel, he began to test whether the armed vehicle would affect his action efficiency in combat status.

The armor looked heavy, but the actual material was light; the test results made Pei Yun very satisfied.

After this round of tests ended, Pei Yun returned to the control console and swept his gaze toward the total consumption value of the simulated combination.

When he saw the Shou Shou Jili consumption value of 15293, he was instantly startled:

"Damn, this is way too expensive!"

Looking at the "Confirm Assembly" option below, Pei Yun shook his head repeatedly.

The value of this single button reached several million.

As a commoner player, this combination of armed vehicle was something he couldn't afford even if he sold himself.

After saving this vehicle template, he decisively tapped the initialization option, returning all armed modules and accessories to the Armed Vehicle Shangcheng.

After doing all this, he began to ponder a question.

How to assemble a vehicle matching his economic strength using the fewest armed modules.

After thinking it over, only one vehicle concept remained in his mind.

That was a bicycle.

An extremely simple skeleton can fully support and connect all components, saving a massive amount of armed module consumption.

Once an energy core and two power tires are installed, it becomes a motorized bicycle that can speed along without pedaling and adapt to most complex terrains.

Besides facing wind resistance during driving and having no external defense, there seem to be no other flaws.

With the idea formed, Pei Yun immediately started a new round of armed vehicle assembly.

This simulation started entirely from a practical, economical perspective, saving on props and components wherever possible.

First came the combination of the armaments.

Since the goal was to save Shou Shou Jili, he chose thin cloth robes, selecting black for the color.

Hmm?

Pei Yun, who was assembling the cloth robes, suddenly paused, then looked down at the black cloth robe the system provided by default, his expression turning somewhat awkward.

He had just been wondering why the assembly process looked so familiar; wasn't this the clothes he was already wearing?

"I need something different; at least when I wear it out, people should see I'm wearing an armed vehicle."

After a brief thought, Pei Yun used his consciousness to touch the "Free Paint" option in the assembly panel, changing the color from black to blue.

Once the color changed, the scent of money appeared.

"Hmm, it does look more valuable than black."

Pei Yun nodded in satisfaction, then continued loading modules, constantly using the "Auto Layout" in the simulation panel to adjust the fit between the clothes and the 3D model, ensuring no discomfort would arise after wearing it.

After finishing the simple cloth robe, he began assembling the bicycle.

During this process, Pei Yun enjoyed himself, and time passed without him noticing.

The opening of the armed vehicle function attracted a large number of players to participate in testing and experience.

Players from the Misty Coast Space also flocked through the teleportation array to the East District of Emperor Tomb Village to enter the factory and try assembling all kinds of armed vehicles.

During this period, the player forum was overrun by posts brainstorming armed vehicle combinations.

The popularity of developing and using armed vehicles on the forum continued to climb.

At this moment, the top of the forum's hot list was filled with powerful vehicle templates that had already been developed.

【Mechanical War God Template: Available for pickup by interested friends. In armed mode, it is the War God suit; switched to vehicle mode, it is a Gundam mecha. It adapts to all terrains and requires adding fuel (Spirit Stones) for flight.】

Materials used are as follows:

Armed Module (High Grade): 95224

Energy Core (Xuanwu Grade): 8

Energy Paint (Xuanwu Grade): 523

Wing Shield Armament (Xuanwu Grade): 12

Frenzy Engine (Xuanwu Grade): 3

Gravity Reconstruction...

Total Shou Shou Jili consumption: 18942820

Author's Comment: Strong is all that matters. It's hard even for enemies to pierce your armor value; the defense is estimated to exceed 100 Hunting Levels (my own estimate). The key is the reasonable price, barely reaching the wealth passing line for forum players. Everyone, just make do with it; we've maxed out the cost-performance ratio for you.

【Tyranno God Template: Players who aren't short on money can try this. Although this template failed the wind resistance test completely, it still moves on two legs, and energy consumption is too high... but it's cool. Riding a Tyranno beast to travel is full of swagger. Suggested paint color is crimson; it's the coolest.】

Total Shou Shou Jili consumption: 9427240

【Iron Fortress, Invincible Bastion: This set of armed vehicles, after switching to vehicle form, builds an Iron Fortress on the spot. Hiding inside gives a full sense of security. As for how much Shou Shou Jili it consumes, can forum players be short on Shou Shou Jili?】

Total Shou Shou Jili consumption: 23245250

【Invincible Warship: Sea travel speed of 107 knots, equipped with Wing Shield defense armament, invincible in naval battles.】

Total Shou Shou Jili consumption: 3942420

【Pterosaur Fighter: The best choice for shuttling through the Great World. It pursues only movement speed, discarding everything else, even the landing gear. When not flying, it free-falls, using armed functions to hard-impact the ground, focusing on a meteor falling from the sky; it can fly and also serve as a flesh bomb.】

Total Shou Shou Jili consumption: 2832930

【Giant Beast Leviathan: Can be used as a submarine in the deep sea...】

In the simulation testing phase, players' ideas were extremely wild.

After all, simulation costs no money.

The assembly simulation focused on doing whatever one pleased, ignoring Shou Shou Jili consumption issues; assemble however one wanted.

Thus, many wildly imaginative combinations were born.

Gundam, Fortress, Fighter, Warship... in a short time, a large number of armed vehicle templates emerged.

These assemblies generally took coolness as the primary core standard; whatever props in the Armed Shangcheng were expensive, they installed those, maxing out all configurations.

Some players had little interest in vehicles but were very interested in armaments.

This batch of players designed quite a few visually appealing armaments.

Xing Chen Fa robe style, Jedi style, Dark Sorcerer style, Future Armor style, Holy Angel style, Magma Shield Armor style... various armament templates attracted a large number of players to copy them.

But it was limited to copying.

Many of the gorgeous styles had high production costs.

The gorgeousness of the armed modules is affected by the module grade; the higher the grade, the better the visual performance of the armed module.

Comparing low-grade armed modules with high-grade armed modules, the difference is very obvious.

The shape of a low-grade armed module is a cubic semi-transparent energy crystal, with a pale gray-white color, containing wisps of pale blue misty vapor expanding and contracting inside, with an overall dark color tone.

A high-grade armed module requires 100 low-grade armed modules to fuse and generate; its initial shape is also a cubic semi-transparent crystal.

But in terms of visual performance, the high-grade armed module is like a brilliant star.

The appearance presents a dreamlike blue-purple hue, as if the starry river were poured inside, emitting a soft yet profound glow overall. The surface is smooth as a mirror, yet it forms energy fluctuation stripes that shift with time, like strings plucked by time itself, creating a faint resonance with the surrounding space.

The contrast difference between single modules is already very obvious, and it is even more so after assembly.

A comparison is made using the most popular Xing Chen Fa robe style on the forum.

Players who tried copying templates on the forum and entering the simulation space for testing found that the low-spec version and the high-spec version were like two completely different garments.

Although the low-spec Xing Chen Fa robe was painted with starry sky blue, the overall tone appeared somewhat dim, giving it a plain texture akin to a magic apprentice when worn.

In contrast, the high-spec Xing Chen Fa robe can be described entirely as magnificent. Its main body presents a deep blue-black color, like the midnight sky filled with scattered stars, shifting between bright and dark, gathering and dispersing with the light, resembling the Milky Way pouring down, condensing the entire universe onto this robe.

There is also a clear difference in material comfort; wearing the high-spec version feels as soft and fitting as clouds, enhancing the wearer and granting them an otherworldly temperament. The cuffs, collar, and hem of the robe are inlaid with Wing Shield Armaments, appearing as silver tassels that sway gently with the wearer's breath, like ripples rising in the starry river, vivid and ethereal.

The performance of other armaments is the same.

The gap in materials means the beggar version and the top-spec version can be described as worlds apart.

Although many players copied the weapon vehicle templates shared on the forum, they could only gaze at them enviously and collect them for viewing.

A single high-grade weapon module costs as much as 1000 points of Shou Shou Jili, far beyond what they can afford at this stage.

As time passed, the popularity of the hot brain-hole assembly posts began to decline.

Many players were merely making a fuss to join the fun; the choice of weapon vehicle assembly must ultimately return to practical use.

Those practical assembly tutorial posts began to surge up the popularity rankings.

One post in particular gained a massive number of player likes in a short time.

【No nonsense, sharing a budget-friendly weapon vehicle combination for everyone.】

Poster: Super God Little Chick

Content:

Let me clarify in advance: this weapon vehicle combination I provide pursues only cost-effectiveness, ignoring any other factors. The main goal is to save wherever possible and minimize Shou Shou Jili consumption. Brothers who want to look cool, click the top right corner and go watch the Gundam in the next section.

Now, let's get to the main topic, starting with the weapon combination.

Considering that the armor of every weapon module can conduct and share damage (let me explain here: during testing, I found that the armor value of a single weapon module is 1; assuming four modules are combined, if one module takes damage, it will conduct that damage to the other three connected modules to share the burden), our priority is coverage area. As long as the coverage area is wide enough, there will be no fatal damage to vital parts.

Therefore, I designed a winter coat style, covering the entire body except for the hands and head.

As for the helmet, I considered it, but practice showed it significantly affects output efficiency, especially for magic-type players.

I only recommend using helmets for Stone Statue style players.

The overall appearance is as follows (attached: simulated weapon vehicle screenshot). It looks a bit ugly and somewhat clumsy, but in reality, the material is lightweight and does not hinder movement.

Next is the vehicle design, which I call: The Commoner's Unicycle (see attached image).

First, here are the materials used: 103 Low-grade Weapon Modules (1030), 1 Energy Core (300), Balance System (50), 1 Power Tire (50), totaling a Shou Shou Jili consumption of 1410 points.

Although a four-wheel setup offers greater stability, for the sake of saving money, everyone can completely choose single-wheel travel. The overall structure shrinks, the energy consumption required for travel decreases, and the endurance becomes stronger.

Regarding the travel speed everyone cares about most, simply stating the speed per hour leaves everyone without a clear concept. Here, combining my Painful Painful Minghun level with speed, I provide a set of very intuitive data comparisons.

Taking my level 30 Eagle-Head Demon attribute buff as the baseline comparison.

Sandy environment (speed 64): 1.4 times the running speed inherited from the Eagle-Head Demon attribute (full-speed run).

Snowy environment (speed 58): 1.2 times.

Di Zhai Mountain Range (speed 150): 1.6 times.

Actually, the speed increase is not very obvious.

But the key point is that continuous running consumes stamina, whereas the unicycle can be driven easily with consciousness.

Endurance time varies significantly depending on terrain conditions. On flat roads, endurance can reach 5 hours, after which the Energy Core needs to recharge automatically, or one can use energy crystals purchased from the Shangcheng for instant charging.

Here, I must emphasize: the Energy Core's automatic recharging requires it to be placed outside; it cannot be stored in a spatial bag, otherwise the recharging effect is 0.

At the end of the post, I offer a bonus for players in the Colorful Mist Coast region.

Attached: Surfboard Vehicle Template.

This template, like the unicycle, pursues only cost-effectiveness, discarding other flashy expenses, but it is limited to use on the sea surface and cannot dive underwater.

This concludes the preliminary review guide for new functions. Brothers who like it, please click like to support me. I will continue to develop new guides to share with everyone.

Comment Section:

This Beaver: Just came from Brother Black Night's post. Your design is even simpler than his; he has a two-wheeled bicycle, and you have a unicycle. It really maximizes cost-effectiveness. Can you guide players like us who spend money? Give me a blast-proof truck with maximum design sense (eating dirt and flipping the table, jpg).

Dog-Leading Old Hunter: It does look quite practical, but the price is still too high. With over 1400 Shou Shou Jili, I would definitely prioritize improving my strength; why would I consider weapon vehicles? Is there a super beggar version costing under 500 Shou Shou Jili? Can the Shou Shou Jili consumption on weapon modules be compressed further?

Commander of the Hundred Million Elite Soldiers replied to Dog-Leading Old Hunter: Isn't running with your own legs even cheaper? The main point is it also exercises your body and gains a tiny bit of body-refining experience (wry smile. jpg).

Dog-Leading Old Hunter replied to Commander of the Hundred Million Elite Soldiers: Do I lack this bit of body-refining experience? The time saved on travel is enough for me to kill several evil spirits.

Second Lieutenant of the Rookie Camp: Template taken. This price is still within my acceptable range. As for the brothers in the post saying the configuration is too crude, consider the Mechanical Gundam next door. It has maximum aesthetics and defense; only such a configuration can match your status. I strongly recommend you buy it. If you don't like the Mechanical Gundam, there are also Tyrannosaurus God and Giant Beast Titan. Use whichever you like. This is a commoner guide post.

Light Chant of Spring and Autumn: I just like this kind of practical guide post. All the shares on the hot rankings are nonsense. At least at this stage, which player has the wealth to get super weapon vehicles? In my opinion, the priority order for Shou Shou Jili consumption is Painful Painful Minghun, body-refining experience, Star Vein, and Guiding Level Up, and only then this weapon vehicle. Only when one's own strength is powerful can one earn more Shou Shou Jili returns, and only then can one configure better weapon vehicles... Everyone needs to understand one thing: weapon vehicles are just tools for us to become stronger, not the key to improving combat power.

Qi Sheng saw the forum players' reviews of weapon vehicles.

Initially, the name set for this function was "Vehicle," not the current "Weapon Vehicle."

Launching this function was also to save the time and stamina players consume while traveling, accelerating player growth speed.

However, after deep thought, he had the Ding De Xiang Fa to abandon this setting.

The reason is that the Shou Shou Jili consumption is too high; it is better to let players invest their Shou Shou Jili into improving their strength.

But after subsequent discussions with Chao Wei, the setting concept for the vehicle function changed.

In the new concept, weapons and vehicles merge; when not in use, the vehicle can provide surface defense for the player, and when in use, it can switch to a transport vehicle carrying the player.

This greatly increased the value of the vehicle, making it a part of the player's strength improvement.

Among them, the custom assembly mode gave players the possibility to fully innovate and develop with their brain-holes, allowing every player to obtain a satisfactory vehicle appearance and function.

Through player comments on the forum, Qi Sheng also discovered that this update gave players immense motivation for growth, further deepening their desire to earn Shou Shou Jili.

It also caused another wave of price increases for exchanging Shou Shou Jili for cash.

But the situation remained the same as before.

Aside from scattered individual collections, even the heads of several major guilds could not purchase large amounts of Shou Shou Jili in bulk.

Addressing the shortage of Shou Shou Jili, players spontaneously organized to cry out on the forum, hoping the officials would see it and raise the Shou Shou Jili production values.

During this period, some players calculated all functions consuming Shou Shou Jili at the current stage, believing production must be raised tenfold just to barely meet consumption, and stated that a hundredfold increase in Shou Shou Jili production was needed to match the growth progress players should have, accelerating their exploration and development of the world.

Regarding such ideas, Qi Sheng offered spiritual support.

If possible, he too wanted players to have a hundredfold Shou Shou Jili production.

Since it was fantasy, he felt the players' ideas were still too conservative.

A hundredfold Shou Shou Jili production seemed like a lot, but the Shou Shou Jili consumed in the late growth stage was also extremely terrifying.

And the challenges the player legions would face in the future were infinitely arduous; not a single faction mastering the world's rules was a pushover.

Having just opened the Emperor's Tomb Mountain Range and the Colorful Mist Coast regions, there were already four clearly hostile cheater factions, each possessing powerful racial heritage and development potential.

Players fantasized about spending Shou Shou Jili freely and wanted to easily explore the map; how could a hundredfold return be enough?

So, why not be bolder.

His fantasy was very bold; he wanted player production returns to increase ten thousandfold, or even more.
