Chapter 60: 1.3 Version Update

Emperor Tomb Village, Source Altar.

Qi Sheng stood on the altar, the information torrent produced by players quickly flashing through his mind, looking for the content and direction of the next update.

The Guidance hovered beside him throughout the whole process to accompany him.

After these days of experience, the fourth batch of newbie players entering the game has gradually adapted to the difficulty of the waning crescent moon scene.

The guide posts left by the first few batches of players on the forum have provided quite a bit of help for newbie players to understand the Monster World.

Especially the "Monster and Evil Spirit Illustrated Guide" and "Spirit Plant and Spirit Mineral Illustrated Guide" produced by the exploration party player Lu Xing, which provided quite a bit of help to players newly entering the game.

Letting them clearly know the general distribution of evil spirit life on the map, as well as the hunting level range.

This gave Qi Sheng inspiration.

He felt that it was entirely possible to add an illustrated guide function similar to the map function, replacing the simple illustrated guide produced by Lu Xing, to provide convenience for players to explore the Monster World.

As for the contribution of Lu Xing's illustrated guide, he decided to keep it.

In the future, the monsters, evil spirits, spirit plants, and spirit minerals recorded in the illustrated guide will all have a line of text marked behind them, such as [Discoverer: xxx]. This mark will be permanently archived and recorded.

Secondly, Qi Sheng felt that the initial basic function settings could be even more perfect.

At this stage, the content displayed on the player's attribute panel is limited, and many contents cannot be checked by players for more detailed information.

Taking the game panel of the first player, Li Zheng, as an example:

[Challenger Name: Game Brick-Moving Party]:

Main Form: Human

Body Tempering Level: 3 (Perfectly inherited soul attribute count: 3)

Star Pulse Embedding Level: 4 (Can embed four different monster souls):

Slot 1, Black Armored Snake Soul lv24 (Trait: Venom)

Slot 2, Force Barbarian lv13 (Trait: Brute Force)

……

Clicking on the embedded soul allows you to view specific attribute values.

But the attribute panel cannot view the specific attribute values of the main form after the Body Tempering level reaches the standard and the two attributes are perfectly inherited to the main form.

This aspect has already been fed back by players on the forum. Qi Sheng absorbed the players' suggestions and decided to add the display of inherited attribute values to the main form on the attribute panel.

Secondly, add the "Hunger" value to the attribute panel.

The Monster World is essentially not a game, but just recruiting players under the concept of a game, so players will also be hungry and tired in the game and need to buy food from the mall to supplement the body's consumption.

Players can only judge the hunger situation through physical sensation.

After adding the hunger function, you can more intuitively see the change in the degree of hunger.

Although this function seems very useless, and many players don't even need to supplement body consumption through food—for example, the bone fire form does not have a hunger value setting, only flesh-and-blood life has this trouble.

But in the future, a large number of players will choose the school of embedding multiple souls in the main form, and exploring outside will mainly be based on the human form. Adding this setting is to give players a better gaming experience.

With the idea, he immediately let the Guidance arrange it.

Half an hour later, the system update prompt sounded in the minds of all players:

[Challenger Prompt (All Channels): The game is about to undergo a 1.3 version update and maintenance. The content of this update is as follows]:

Update Content 1:

After this update, the forum function list will add four illustrated guide functions: Monster Illustrated Guide, Evil Spirit Illustrated Guide, Spirit Plant Illustrated Guide, and Spirit Mineral Illustrated Guide. External things discovered and analyzed by players will be recorded in the illustrated guide function after classification and can be viewed at any time (all players share illustrated guide information).

Update Content 2: The map adds a "Details" function. After players click on the area details on the map, they can see the evil spirits, monsters, spirit plants, spirit minerals, etc., recorded in this area. This function is synchronized with the four major illustrated guides and updated in real-time.

Update Content 3: Added hunger value attribute, which can be viewed directly through the main attribute panel.

Update Content 4: Added main form attribute display function, which can be viewed directly through the main attribute panel to see the strength of each attribute after inheriting monster souls.

(Prompt: This update is an online update mode, no need for players to go offline and wait.)

After the update prompt, the Challenger System poured into new setting runes, like jumping characters rotating around Qi Sheng.

With a wave of his hand, the Challenger System faded, and Qi Sheng switched to the player perspective.

……

After this update, the most popular topic on the forum was the map function.

Compared with the previous map, the current map has added a very practical function.

When a player focuses their gaze on a certain area on the map, a small "Detailed Introduction" mark will pop up above this area.

Taking the Ancient Battlefield as an example.

After the player's gaze focuses on the Ancient Battlefield, the consciousness touches the popped-up detailed introduction mark, and a detailed introduction box will unfold on the map, where you can see a reduced version of the general landscape of the Ancient Battlefield area, and there is area introduction text below.

On the right side of the attached box are selectable illustrated guide categories.

After clicking, you can view the evil spirits, monsters, spirit plants, and spirit minerals discovered in this map.

For example, clicking on "Cursed Soldier" in the Evil Spirit Illustrated Guide will display the detailed introduction of the Cursed Soldier, the general distribution area, the average hunting level, and so on.

After this function was launched, it was unanimously praised by players on the forum.

Players who usually scolded the Moon Eclipse Clan on the forum also rarely gave praise, believing that the Moon Eclipse Clan did indeed consider the player experience this time, but still insisted that the ugly face of the Moon Eclipse Clan's hunger marketing had not changed. If they really considered the player experience, they should release game qualifications in large quantities. The behavior of hunger marketing is a heinous crime.

Regarding these remarks, Qi Sheng didn't care at all.

After all, the players are scolding the Moon Eclipse Clan, what does it have to do with his Emperor Zhao.

……

12 hours after the 1.3 version update ended.

Scarlet Plains.

After killing the Angry Pincer, Lu Xing sat on the ground panting.

Looking at the attribute panel, his Eagle-Headed Demon level had reached level 15.

Summoning the live broadcast interface, the comment section was still telling inspirational stories, but these remarks could no longer shake his thoughts.

"Not going, not going, wait until I'm level 25 before going to challenge the Cowardly Butterfly."

Browsing the comments, Lu Xing decisively shook his head and refused the suggestion of the live broadcast audience to fight the Strange Butterfly again.

"You say level 25 is too strong, the Strange Butterfly will run? Let it run, running also counts as my win."

"Why can't it count as my win if it runs? Running away proves that it was cowardly when facing me, so I naturally won."

Facing the instigation of the live broadcast audience, Lu Xing's thoughts were unwavering.

Just then, a comment caught his eye:

Weapon Master: Brother, you don't have to be so tired. Buy a bunch of spirit energy bombs to challenge the Strange Butterfly. If it dares to get close, take out the bomb and detonate it, one-hit kill. The process is easy and happy, why go through this effort to level up?

Lu Xing naturally knew about the spirit energy bombs mentioned in this comment.

He could be sure that the player who put forward this idea was a member of the Arms Dealer Guild, whose characteristic is to promote custom weapons everywhere.

But in Lu Xing's view, this idea did seem feasible.

He did not participate in the final battle to purify the Gloomy Cave, but he watched the replay video on the forum and witnessed the power of the spirit energy bombs.

Multiple spirit energy bombs detonating at the same time could not even be resisted by a level 25 Black Armored Soldier. Theoretically, it could indeed easily kill the Cowardly Butterfly.

His heart pounded, and an idea emerged in Lu Xing's mind:

Why not try it?
