Chapter 177: Gaming System Update V3.0 (1/2)

Having given up on putting together the grievances or perhaps what could be an enormous conspiracy that took place seven hundred years, Xi Wei began to absorb the divinity fragment as hard as he could.

Though Amazon the Rainforest Guardian was an ancient god whose divinity was much stronger than the Aquatic Lord’s, Xi Wei had merely obtained a fragment of said divinity. As such, absorbing it wasn’t difficult, and since the deity had already fallen for over seven hundred years, the original deity’s mark in the divinity had mostly vanished.

Indeed, it had gone smoothly.

At the same time, Xi Wei had quickly developed a new version patch after working without rest.

[Ding!]

[Gaming System Update V3.0 Complete!]

[Life Skills added for Players to learn and train]

[Life Skills affects certain game effects: for example, when Players kill a target with ‘Butcher’, the corpse would not disappear but be dismembered into graded ingredients without special effects (At the same time, the Player wouldn’t gain the EXP of the target). Players who have learned the Life Skills for cooking can prepare those ingredients with a chance of developing food that grants buffs.]

[Life Skills can be learnt with skill points but can’t be leveled up aside from repetitive application and developing Life Skill proficiency.]

[EXP can be gained by using Life Skills, with increased EXP at higher Life Skill levels. Without monsters to fight, developing one’s Life Skills is a good choice.]

[Apprentice System implemented: Players could go to any System Shop to learn Life Skills as apprentices (Please prepare sufficient game coins beforehand).]

The Life Skills System was one that Xi Wei had planned for a long time and could be used for consuming the Players’ skill points that increased by the day, but was also another measure for them to gain EXP aside from battle.

Still, it would be natural for most Players to find fighting monsters and farming dungeons were more convenient for earning EXP than life skills. But although Xi Wei wouldn’t have any good solutions to change that, having the Players being a little eager to fight was not a bad thing in the early days of the Church of Games.

In the end, the fighting ability of a church’s followers is an important measure of its strength aside from the standard of the god himself. That was why the existence of Players was a clever measure to fight against enemies, since they were true believers from a certain point of view, and they could fight on behalf of their church without self-regard just like the zealots of other churches.
