546 The Devs Are Just As Usual (1/2)

Although he was here for the floating masses of energy, Roland wasn't in a hurry to absorb them.

He vividly remembered how he almost died when he hastily absorbed the energy ball in the ancestral hall a year earlier.

Now that he had learned his lesson, he naturally had to be prudent.

These days, he simply practiced the Daoists' Nourishment of Life and observed the energy masses with his feeble mental power.

He only observed them and didn't dare to absorb them.

Even so, he found that he made much faster progress in the Daoists' Nourishment of Life than he did back home.

It took him more than five days to accumulate some mental power, but he got exactly the same amount after a day and a night.

Was it true that there was more spiritual energy where there were more energy balls?

His legs were numb after he sat cross-legged for a long time, so Roland wandered around and saw the paintings of the Yu family's ancestors in the hall.

Yu Kunming walked close from behind, ready to practice his Iron Head Art, but seeing that Roland was standing there in a daze, he asked, ”Why are you gazing at my ancestors' paintings?”

”Nothing serious. I just find it odd that everybody in the Yu family is so handsome.”

The paintings in the hall were traditional ink wash paintings. Although the people's faces were obscure, one could totally feel their charm and gentleness.

Schuck was extremely handsome, and his father was also gorgeous.

Yu Kunming smiled and said, ”Only the family leader's branch is handsome. The side branches are just average-looking.”

Was that true?

But it seemed true. Roland had seen many members of the Yu family and found that it was true that only Schuck's closest relatives were gorgeous while the others were just mediocre.

The old man shook his head enviously and then grabbed a red brick nearby, before he bashed it on his head.

Everybody in the Yu family was jealous of the main branch's astounding attractiveness.

He was no exception; his stomach was filled with jealousy. He could only blow off steam by practicing the Iron Head Art.

Roland refined his mental power for three days with the Daoists' Nourishment of Life, until the game server was about to restart.

It was already evening at this moment, four hours to go until the server restarted.

He rode a bike home and took a shower. Then, he opened the forum and checked what was new, only to find that the forum was ”exploding.”

Many new accounts were scamming and sternly asking the devs why they weren't releasing new virtual cabins.

There was an unbelievably huge number of new accounts.

The servers of this game were so powerful that it actually survived such huge data traffic.

Roland opened the page where the virtual cabins were sold, only to see that the number of goods was still zero.

Were the devs really not going to release new virtual cabins?

Then, how were they going to cover the server maintenance cost and the staff's wages?

Were they backed by a rich company, or even the state government?

At this moment, World of Falan was probably the most heated IP in the whole world. Anyone with ambitions would want to take advantage of it.

Also, to some extent, this game had doubled players' longevity.

After all, every eight hours of sleep at night meant 24 hours in the game.

Also, it was a complete simulation. One could use the in-game browser and access information on the Internet to get a head start.

There had been many reports about how some students studied crazily with the additional time that the game cabins gave them and got admitted by the universities they wanted to go to.

At this moment, the virtual cabins were already as expensive as an 100-square-meter apartment in the capital.

Many people had thought that the devs would release new game cabins for the beta test, but the number of goods was still zero at this moment.

However, the game server was about to restart.

How could they not be anxious?

Roland returned to the comprehensive discussion section and refreshed the forum, only to see several threads claiming that the devs made a new announcement.

Roland immediately opened the homepage and clicked the new announcement.

”We're trying to work on the new virtual cabins. However, because the logic chips that are of critical importance in them are based on products from a certain country, and those products are banned from being exported to our country, the cabins cannot be manufactured any time soon. We're seeking alternative supplies. Although their chips are not as good in terms of performance, we're trying to do optimizations. With any luck, new virtual cabins will be manufactured in two years.”

Roland: ?

What was wrong with the devs?

Everybody had seen the video where someone dismantled and examined the cabins.

Apart from a shell, there was nothing but a few LED lights and an independent cable slot.

Yet, you claim that there are hidden chips in the virtual cabin?

What a blatant lie. Do you take us for fools?

Roland was both infuriated and amused.

But then he let it go. He had his own virtual cabin. There was no need to be mad about the announcement.
