Chapter 120: Chapter 92: Blue Star 2.0 Version Update, a Major Expansion Begins

And so, he began to seriously analyze the contents of the latest update, one item at a time.

The first update had the biggest impact of all. You could now see your attribute panel in the real world, and even ordinary people who had never played the game could see it.

Shen Xing took off his glasses and focused his gaze. As expected, a translucent blue panel materialized before his eyes.

It clearly listed his various stats and Skills, identical to how it looked in the game.

Of course, just as the system announcement had said, it had no other functions besides viewing.

It was like a bare-bones version of a Pioneer’s panel.

’Even though it has no other functions, this is still a very important update.’

’Ordinary people can use this data to judge their physical condition and track their daily progress.’

’It could even be used in the medical field. In the future, when you go to the doctor, you could just report your stats and State.’

Shen Xing thought cheerfully as he moved on to the next item.

The second update was the release of new player slots, which meant a new batch of fresh-faced rookies would be coming in to play (and suffer).

’A player’s starting territory is random, so that part really comes down to luck.’

’Never mind the number of resource points nearby. If they spawn near the territory of a player like Gideon, they’re screwed.’

Shen Xing shook his head and moved on to the third update.

This one was game-related. The drop rate for Souls had been reduced, while the number of dropped Soul Stones had been increased.

This update had its pros and cons.

The downside was that it would be harder for players to cultivate high-Potential Soldier Types.

The upside was that players would have more Soul Stones in the early game. Whether for developing their territory or upgrading their Soldier Types, they would have a sufficient surplus and wouldn’t have to be as meticulous with their resources as Qin Lang and the others.

’Looks like the system wants players to focus on developing their territory and strike a balance with the development of their Soldier Types.’

’After all, as things stand now, improving Soldier Types yields the highest returns. Many Apprentice Level players already have over a hundred units, but their territories still only consist of a few small wooden cabins.’

’However...’ He paused for a moment. ’This is actually a good thing for me. After all, I have Sacrificial Evolution, which I can use once a day. I don’t lack Souls at all.’

’Plus, I’ve been balancing my territory’s development all along.’

’Am I... truly the chosen one of this version?’

Shen Xing’s eyes narrowed slightly.

He continued analyzing the next update.

The fourth item was about the respawning of resource points. His own territory’s quarry and Lumberyard were almost depleted, so this was perfect for a restock.

’In addition, the system mentioned that a small number of High Level resource points would appear nearby. My territory should have some as well.’

’I’ll have Xia Wanyin come over then and use her ability to help me scout the area.’

Next was the biggest update, and also the most important one.

The major expansion pack—"Rain of Sorrow"!

Reading the expansion’s Introduction, Shen Xing finally understood why it was raining.

It turned out some Divine Spirit who had been asleep for many days had woken up, was in a foul mood, and had been crying this whole time.

It seemed this Rain God was a real crybaby.

’Huh? A crybaby Rain God... Why does that sound kind of cute?’

’Ahem, I’m getting sidetracked. Let’s get back to the update.’

This time, they also introduced a Points Ranking.

You earned points by killing monsters in the Fog.

However, only Lords below the Extraordinary Level could compete for a spot on this list.

As for players at the Extraordinary Level or higher, they could redeem rewards through the Points Store.

’The system probably made this distinction because it considered the large number of new players. With their current strength, they wouldn’t be able to earn many points, so it introduced this leaderboard for them.’

As an Apprentice Level player, Shen Xing naturally didn’t have access to the Points Store function,

so he opened the leaderboard to check the specific rewards.

(Note: All challengers in the top 100 will get the chance to enter the Rain God Illusion Realm and challenge the Rain God Avatar.

In the Illusion Realm, players will be ranked based on the damage they inflict on the Rain God Avatar and receive the Rain God’s Blessing to varying degrees.

A live broadcast will also be available for all players to watch from their territory’s center.)
