Meteor Fall Master in the 'Starry Abyss'
Chapter 387 - 032. Version updating

Chapter 387: 032. Version updating

["Starry Abyss" server was under maintenance and was estimated to be online at Terra Time 14:30.]

[The maintenance included the following contents:]

1. Full public beta release: "Starry Abyss" 1.0—New expansion pack "Contempt Maxim"

[Glorious Arrival]—The public beta version had arrived. Dear Descenders, you could now choose any of the planets from the closed beta period as your starting planet.

[Subtle and Prolonged Growth]—New level cap: lv.15—lv.30

[Path Climbing]—Players could now advance to a new hierarchy: Alpha Stage

[Dramatic Entrance]—Seven new selectable initial identities were added: government employee, retired soldier, prison inmate, bounty hunter, street beggar, civil rights fighter, bankrupt magnate.

Role-play your new Descender identity, fulfill the character’s past obsessions, and earn exclusive rewards.

New feature* "Lai Anding Medical Optimization Protocol"—Lai Anding Medical had achieved remote resurrection technology through technological upgrades. Player medical services were now improved accordingly.

Now, when characters died, players did not need to revive in the main city. Redemption players could build three types of redemption structures: field hospital, simple life altar, and small church for players to rest and revive in the wilderness.

The following initial planets were now available:

Terra Federal District Server—Azure Star

Sassex District Server—Anubis Star

Hastings Colonial District Server—Aerli Wasteland

Ajincour District Server—Valkyrie Fortress - Frontier Satellite

Bordohe District Server—Underworld Marrow Star

Remarks: Closed beta players would retain their level, items, character relations, and task progress, but experience points gained during the closed beta would be reset.

2. "Starry Abyss" would launch the first season ladder match in version 1.5 for all servers.

Players who reached lv.30 and advanced to Alpha Stage could participate in the ladder match, and PvP against other players. After reaching specified ranks, they would receive point tickets as rewards.

A new game mode—"Starry Abyss Auto Chess" was now open. During redeployment waiting times, players could pass the time by playing Auto Chess. We also prepared a series of mini-games, like "Sky Ring Miner" and "Zhengxu Farm," among others.

3. "Starry Abyss" system upgrade fully.

We launched a brand new Mall system where players could purchase their preferred fashions and certain items for a better gaming experience.

Furthermore, Qiqiao Network had fixed issues that existed during the closed beta period.

*Fixed the issue where the Mutation process of Mutants was too gory and was not filtered by recognition filters.

*Fixed the issue where Martial Artists couldn’t eat.

*Fixed the issue where the Spiritual Body of Spirit Medium would call out players’ real names.

*Fixed the issue where Mechanics couldn’t move while switching mechanical perspectives.

*We fixed the issue where players could be scanned by the Mind Reading skill of Spirit Medium, leading to user device data breaches.

Due to our technical errors, this feature infringed on players’ personal privacy rights.

For this, Qiqiao Network apologized to all players and provided each with 2,000 point tickets as compensation.

Your support and criticism would make "Starry Abyss" better.

Hiss—

The glass cabin door slowly opened, and Jiaozi Niu disconnected the connection device on him, slowly sat up, and stretched:

"Yawn—" he yawned lazily as he walked out of the gaming cabin.

"This trip was really tiring, but I actually got ahead of the version and went to outer space first, hey." Jiaozi Niu muttered as he changed clothes, washed up, ate breakfast, and checked the "Starry Abyss" version update notice on the internal broadcast.

For the new version, there wasn’t much particularly important for him, as he had chosen the Martial Artist occupation and his character was now on another planet—or maybe just floating on a spaceship.

However, being able to advance to the Alpha Stage in the next version was indeed good news. For players, purely with a mortal identity, it was impossible to compete against the formal forces of the Four Nations.

Jiaozi Niu sipped on his milk as his household synthetic human walked up, cut the bread, spread peanut butter, and placed it on the plate in front of him.

"Oh, thanks, VT." Jiaozi Niu casually thanked and took the bread slice.

"Your game playtime exceeded the recommended healthy standards by the International Health Organization yesterday. We sincerely suggest you shorten your game duration today and engage in more outdoor activities." The synthetic human servant straightened up and folded its hands neatly over its abdomen.

"Don’t worry, not today. I still have to go out later," Jiaozi Niu replied dismissively, his eyes focused on the projection tablet in front of him:

"The new version updated a lot of stuff... hey, the forum now has a short video section. Let me see if there’s anything interesting." He clicked into the short video section, and a walking video with strange background music immediately popped up:

"18yo #Athlete #Fashion#Sedimentation#ThanksCoach, Frost Plated girls, let’s clean the glass—"

Pop!

Jiaozi Niu quickly swiped past it.

"Any Sky Ring Ghosts would eventually be brought to justice—"

"You can curse anyone, but don’t curse us Red Arrow People. Red Arrow isn’t big, but it creates myths—"

"Hello everyone, this is Zhengxu speaking the reasoning~~ Today we bring you the content you want to see..."

Pop.

Jiaozi Niu exited the short video section and covered his face:

"Why did I even have expectations for short videos?"

The synthetic human servant thoughtfully responded:

"Fragmented information does not require understanding of the video content, but long-term addiction may lead to senile dementia."
