Chapter 106 - Idiotic Netizens Intellect (1/2)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Currently, the game was in the alpha testing phase, so it was quite normal to have updates from time to time.
Those who wanted to play the game seriously would carefully read the updated content of the game. After all, you could acquire a lot of information that could definitely be used in the game.
Roland was no exception to this.
Clicking on the update announcement and looking at it for a while, Roland was rather pleasantly surprised.
The game’s updated content:
1: Added a “browser” to the game system interface. From now on, players can also watch videos, read novels, and communicate through chat rooms in the game.
2: Increased the activeness of the magical elements. The casting difficulty has been increased slightly, and the damage of spells has been increased moderately. Warlocks benefit greatly, while the normal mage has no benefits in the early stage but a greater increase in the middle and late stages.
3: We noticed that the warrior cla.s.s has too great of a population, which has surpa.s.sed more than half the total number of players. Therefore, the benefits brought by the “const.i.tution” attribute have been reduced, and at the same time, the learning requirements of some warriors’ unique powerful specialties have been added.
4: The Bandit cla.s.s’s unique specialty Stealth has been optimized to make it more hidden at a distance and slightly less hidden at closer proximity. Instead of being completely transparent, as it is now, only special skills can see through this specialty.
5: Considering that the current players’ leveling speed is too slow, we’ve appropriately increased the trigger rate of side quests.
6: Optimized the artificial intelligence of NPCs again: reduced their mechanical logicality, increased the influence of b.u.t.terfly events in the sandbox environment, and increased the influence of personality on their actions.
The sixth update was serious news.
The system announcement of Roland’s innovation of a spell was all over the place yesterday, and by now the forums should still be talking about him. But as soon as the official announcement was made, the fact that Roland had created his own spell became old news.
No matter how small the updates, all of them would have a great impact on the game. Now there were six consecutive updates: it could be seen that the game producers were really tracking the data of players during this time, but they also really intended on improving the game.
It was just strange to Roland that he always thought he was entering a real world, but the game producers could actually have an impact on this world!
Who were they really?
Or did he guess wrong, and it was really just a game world?
Opening the forums, Roland wanted to see what other players thought.
As Someone Who Repeated a Year in High School for College Entrance Exams, I Feel Like I Can Get Into Tsing-Hua.
This thread was extremely popular. The original poster claimed to be a repeat student in high school. He originally bought the immersive cabin only for better sleep quality at night; as for the virtual reality game, he didn’t believe this thing at first.
He never expected it to actually be real.
So then, he started playing the game happily. This immersive cabin not only made his sleep quality extremely good but also because the time ratio between the game world and the real world is 3:1, he could count it as a day of play and study. His mind and spirit received a great amount of rest and relaxation, such that he felt less psychological pressure, and his grades were steadily improving.
However, he still had some regrets, because there were 24 hours in the game and he didn’t always have things to do, so sometimes it was very boring. But once the browser function came out, he would be able to browse Wunian Gaokao Sanian Moni<sup>1</sup> question pool—this meant that he had a heck of a lot of time! He truly would be able to break time in half and spend it!
Then, a group of working members of society left their comments below, laughing and cursing!
“Why didn’t I have this when I took the college entrance exam?”
“The OP sees things from a shocking perspective. I’m defeated.”
“My dream of Tsing-Hua University and Peking University!”
