Monsters Are Coming
Chapter 423 - 156: Black Tide Easter Egg, Springwater Appears (Part 6)

Chapter 423: Chapter 156: Black Tide Easter Egg, Springwater Appears (Part 6)

This will have a severe impact on technological development, possibly even causing it to regress.

The second risk is the sudden intrusion of plundering forces.

It’s like the Mechanical Sovereign’s plunder of the Emperor Tomb Mountain Range area, unguarded, a sudden arrival leads to devastating strikes.

The third risk is the incursion of relocating forces.

This has happened before, similar to the Black Wind Tribe choosing relocation due to survival risks, with a probability of migrating to the Colorful Mist Coast Region.

Death is inconsequential, even being blocked at the exit of a space point isn’t a major issue.

But if a research base is destroyed, the technology wealth that players painstakingly created will suffer heavy losses.

A similar situation occurred with Shuyan, as it couldn’t stand against forces like the Black Tide, continuously relocating its domain, recently arriving near the Ascension Clan.

In Monster World, the migration of clans for better survival and development environments is a normal trend.

Considering the protection of player property, Qi Sheng feels that it is necessary to designate a space for player use, allowing them to safely conduct various technology developments within the space scenarios.

This move is very beneficial for the development of the Player Corps.

After all, these technology development guilds need to serve players to grow, then earn resources from other players to continue investing in new technology development, forming a positive cycle.

While the projects set up for the research base outside have not yet fully commenced, Qi Sheng decided to provide early support.

At 3 PM that afternoon.

The version update notice echoed in players’ minds, and the update content post was published in real time on the forum:

[Challenger Tips (All Channels): The game will undergo a version update, with the following content for this update]:

Posted by: Guidance (Official)

Update Setting 1: Open Healing Point Function

Update Introduction: After this update, resurrection points and teleportation points will be combined, and a healing point function will be added, where players can call out healing functions in specific resurrection point areas to heal themselves and their growth pets.

Note: The daily healing energy is limited and will refresh at the early hours after depletion.

Update Setting 2: Space Plot Auction Announcement.

Update Introduction: On December 28, 2524 (two days later), plots 1-3 in the West District of the Emperor Tomb Space will be open for auction, with players participating in the bidding in the form of guilds. Successfully winning a bid grants the right to freely remodel the plot.

Note: The plot location will continue to shift outward as the space area expands, with functions to expand free plot area capacity to be opened later (not yet open).

Comment Area:

Moderate Cooking Wine: Good grief, players can now build houses in space themselves, but I’m puzzled why houses weren’t sold directly, but rather plots for custom construction. How can we ordinary players have the ability to build houses ourselves? Can’t there be an option to directly sell houses with selectable designs?

Not Fully: The comment above made me laugh, just three plots still auctioned in guild form, and you think ordinary players have a chance to participate? They will surely be taken by big guilds to build staff dormitories, for ordinary players to own one the premise is to join a big guild. I suppose the Divine Hall Guild might have one, but in terms of comprehensive finances, the Demon Cult is stronger.

Game Life: The first healing point update is highly praised; in the future, serious injuries don’t need recovery through death, but I don’t understand why the official is so stingy, since they thought about creating healing points for player recovery, saving players’ sacrificial power expenses. They still made it a limited first-come, first-served basis. I protest, request unlimited free healing, at least once per day would be fine.

Won’t Dream of Daoist Nanhua: The first setting has a stingy vibe, true to the dog officials, I mentioned on the forum countless times about the insufficient output of sacrificial power, and instead of modifying sacrificial power output settings to increase returns, like boosting returns by 200%, they open a limited free healing?

Demon-suppressing Taoist: About the first update, although it benefits us players, it’s like on a drought-stricken land we’re desperate to survive, awaiting the officials to bring a rain or dig a well for water access, and they sent a case of bottled water, still rationed, angry enough to punch... never mind, afraid of getting banned, I won’t rant any longer, this game I still need to retire in, if they secretly tweak luck attributes it’s over.

Cold LSJ: The first update is highly praised, the second update is out of reach for us commoners, even if we could freely build it’s still tough, as a weak ordinary player, how can we build a house? Although there’s no shortage of skilled masters in the game, they are after all few, hoping the officials can quickly launch houses livable for ordinary players, much anticipated.

...

Players engaged in enthusiastic discussion on the forum regarding this update.

Especially the second update, granting use of space plots, left ordinary players perplexed.

However, members of the Doomsday Technology Guild and Alchemist Guild were extremely excited after seeing the update content.

Previously, they decided to build a research base in the relatively safe and pleasant Colorful Mist Coast Region.

Unexpectedly, plot usage rights were made available at this time.

This means they can build their research base within the absolutely safe space, requiring only a framework for an experimental site outdoors.

Originally worried about what to do if their base built outside was suddenly attacked and destroyed by foreign forces, and how to ensure the safety of base equipment.

But now this issue has the best solution.

In the chat channels of the two major guilds, guild players self-organized to start pooling money, determined to secure a plot through the auction.

Both guilds have confidence in this respect.

In terms of pay-to-play ability, they are backed by the Human Clan Federation, without the possibility of being suppressed by those super pay-to-play players.

Moreover, while they may not match the comprehensive strength of major guilds like the Divine Hall and the Drunken Group, in terms of sacrificial power wealth, these guilds truly cannot compare.

At this point, preparation became evidently too late, considering there were only two days before the land auction began.

No matter how rich in reality, acquiring a large amount of sacrificial power in a short time wasn’t feasible.

Especially after the pet function just went online, many players’ sacrificial power reserves have been depleted, leaving no sacrificial power to support their own guilds.

The combat guilds also shared the same thoughts.

Although their enthusiasm for auctioning lands wasn’t as high as the two Demon Cult guilds.

But bidding for land is a chance to prove guild strength and attract more elite players to join, an opportunity not to be missed.

After the update ended, posts for buying sacrificial power emerged like mushrooms after the rain, constantly pushing the price higher.

This made small pay-to-play players furious, yet helpless.

In fact, at this stage, small pay-to-play players and civilian players have no difference anymore, unable to create a significant gap.

A million credit points in reality only converts to over 3000 points of sacrificial power in the game, depending on whether someone is willing to sell, usually pieced together in small amounts.

This price even made many ordinary players find it incomprehensible, thinking that even being rich in reality couldn’t justify spending in this manner.

The consensus among players now is that small pay-to-play equals zero pay-to-play.

Or in other words, without a starting investment of several million, one can be classified as an ordinary player.
