[The game was updated online, opening new maps: Liang City, Fengxiang Prefecture City, and other surrounding Jianghu factions.]
[New wilderness tasks added, players can acquire different tasks through interactions with different NPCs.]
[New sect NPC—Blood Demoness added.]
[New equipment crafting gameplay added, players can choose to forge exclusive equipment.]
[New sect internal hall creation added, players can create halls, currently a total of three halls can be created, each creation requires 100 Contribution Points, certification can be done at the Blood Demoness.]
[Herb planting contribution point reward changed, increased from one point to five points.]
[Construction task changed, ordinary building rewards remain the same, large building rewards are calculated based on construction period time, the shorter the time the higher the reward.]
[Cultivation technique improvement changed, players training in internal energy would automatically rise one realm, and future realm upgrades require contribution points, doubling the required points for each upgrade.]
[Player protection period has ended, future reincarnations require Ten Contribution Points each time.]
The first game update arrived.
The players all received this message at the same time.
"Damn, we can craft our own equipment now? Does this mean I can make a divine weapon?"
"Herb rewards increased, are life players about to soar?"
"Internal energy players have the advantage, if I had known, I would have saved contribution points; players learning Inner Energy Techniques are taking off."
"Don't overthink it, currently only Junlin and Flourishing Flowers are learning internal energy, and upgrading realms requires Contribution Points; the further you go, the more Contribution Points are needed."
"..."
This update could be said to have opened many modes.
Players could directly use contribution points to upgrade realms.
But it was limited to internal energy players.
This greatly restricted players who practiced external martial arts.
If you wanted to increase power, you had to start with internal energy, forcing players to earn contribution points to enhance combat strength.
Now, besides construction tasks, only herb tasks had good rewards.
So the only tasks players could earn contribution points from were these two.
Junlin, after seeing this update, immediately contacted Morgana and the others.
"What do you think about this update?"
Junlin and a few others gathered together.
Poisonous Panda looked upset and said seriously, "The importance of contribution points has been completely activated, I'm afraid the price will increase."
"It has already increased, the Three Great Merchants raised the contribution point ratio to 0.111111111, doubling it directly!"
Under the Phoenix Tree shook his head, "Contribution points are very important now, other players have begun doing life tasks, it seems the price won't drop easily."
Previously, it was still at the 1899-12-31 01:50:00 ratio.
Now, after an update, straight to 0.111111111.
And there's no market even at that price.
Players realized the importance of contribution points and were unwilling to part with theirs.
Flourishing Flowers had already raised the price to 0.166666667, but still, very few would part with their contribution points, after all, this was the most direct currency now.
"I don't mind, at worst, I'll cultivate both internal and external."
Evil Queen Morgana looked indifferent.
For him, this update wasn't a big deal since he planned to follow the internal energy route anyway.
The update just made him start earlier.
"Should we grab one of the three halls?"
Junlin thought of Flourishing Flowers's command ability last night, he was a bit impressed.
Flourishing Flowers was his nemesis.
He thought it was just someone as rich as he was, now it seemed more than that.
This person's command ability was outstanding, last night newbie players got many rewards because of Flourishing Flowers's command.
So of the three halls, Flourishing Flowers would definitely occupy one.
"We can seize one!"
Poisonous Panda nodded, "I don't know what others think, but since this gameplay was opened, it must have its uniqueness, so we can take one first."
This was what Junlin wanted to do.
Three halls.
A hundred players.
Players would certainly want to join these three halls.
In the future, it's feared that internal sect competition would start.
But one hall required 100 contribution points, which was too difficult for life players.
They already found it hard to earn contribution points, so...
"Okay, let's secure a hall first."
Junlin stopped being pretentious and went to the Blood Demoness with Under the Phoenix Tree and others.
...
At this time, the Blood Demoness had no idea she was chosen by the System.
She planned to check the Yingyang Hall's array when a group of players approached her.
"Blood Demoness? We want to create a hall!"
The leader was Flourishing Flowers.
Just as Junlin thought, Flourishing Flowers didn't want to miss the chance to occupy a hall.
He wanted to recruit the second batch of players and form a guild battle team, which was his expertise.
This update helped him the most.
His excellent command had already earned him trust from many players.
And trust was the foundation of a battle team.
"Huh?"
Blood Demoness looked puzzled, confusedly looking at Flourishing Flowers and his group.
What hall?
Am I supposed to do something now?
Before she realized, Flourishing Flowers received a prompt from the System.
[Creating a hall requires 100 Contribution Points, create?]
"Yes!"
Flourishing Flowers agreed without hesitation.
In his eyes, creating a hall was more cost-effective than 100 Contribution Points.
Of the three halls, he had to secure one!
[Congratulations to player Flourishing Flowers for creating the first hall, please name the hall.]
"Cloud Lament!"
[Player Flourishing Flowers created the hall: Cloud Lament, all players joining Cloud Lament will receive a one-time realm upgrade opportunity.]
[Hall Master Flourishing Flowers, will receive an additional Fifty Contribution Points per month.]
[All 'Cloud Lament' players will receive the postnatal talent 'Sect Protection.']
[Sect Protection: When facing life-and-death crises, can receive sect protection, granting a thirty-second 'Blood Lock' buff.]
Seeing the System prompt, Flourishing Flowers couldn't help but widen his eyes.
Is this how the hall gameplay works?
Holy shit!
Not only do you get a free realm upgrade, but also an extra talent?
Knowing how strong talents were in this game.
Abbess, Don't Love Me was the most obvious example.
Using the European Emperor talent, he earned tens of thousands in two days!
He thought players had no hope of getting talents, but now the hall opened, directly rewarding players with talents, this was awesome!
"Cloud Lament is recruiting, joining the hall grants a realm upgrade and exclusive hall talent!"
Flourishing Flowers shouted to those around.
In an instant, many players were drawn in.
They didn't have extra contribution points to spare, so they didn't plan on creating a hall.
But now?
Creating a hall had such advantages, even granting a talent.
Join!
Must join!
In the crowd, the Blood Demoness was utterly confused.
So what exactly was she supposed to do?
