[VII. Adjustments to the Spirit Candle Shop mechanics…]

[VIII. The Tiers for the Candle Spirit Tree and Sin Furnace have been increased, unlocking more functions…]

[IX. Fixed several hidden bugs…]

This was undoubtedly the longest announcement the Spirit Candle officials had released since the game launched.

Almost every single item on the list was packed with a massive amount of information.

The players of Spirit Candle didn’t dare to overlook a single detail. Based on their in-game experience, they knew that even a short line of just a few words could have enormous practical implications.

Of course, the players couldn’t stay calm.

Whether it was on the Spirit Candle Forum, the official chat groups, or private player chats, everything had completely blown up.

Take the Spirit Candle Forum. Thanks to its highly engaged player base, the moment the official announcement dropped, players who logged on found replies flooding in one after another, making it feel like a real-time chat.

Setting aside meaningless posts like “First!” and “+3,” what most players were focused on was none other than the second point in the update notes.

As the saying goes, the shorter the message, the bigger the news.

“Holy crap, this update is huge. What’s gonna happen to Candle Island? The newbie tutorial is changing too?”

“Huh? Why the sudden change?”

“Nooo, I really liked the island vibe on Candle Island. I hope they don’t get rid of it.”

“Does this update mean we can build houses now?”

“Oh, holy SHIT, this wait is killing me! I’m dying to play! Why do we have to wait another two hours for the servers?! JUST LET ME IN!!!”

“See? I told you Spirit Candle is controlling people’s brain waves. It’s designed to be addictive. It’s despicable.”

“What did the top players do in the Golden Sand Islands? Is the change to Candle Island related to that?”

“Fire Worship Ceremony? Power of Fire? What does that even mean?”

“…”

The posts on the Spirit Candle Forum were always a mixed bag. There was no shortage of top-tier players, but most were just enthusiastic newbies.

And just as the players were in the middle of a heated discussion, the Spirit Candle officials made another move.

Spirit Candle Official: New Expansion · Serving Fire!

It was a game CG!

Upon seeing this, the players’ eyes lit up, and they all clicked on it without a moment’s hesitation.

…

RUMBLE.

The scene opened with countless giant rocks colliding and re-forming, before finally settling into silence.

The camera panned up.

In the darkness, a Candlefire flickered. The light gradually expanded as the Candlekeeper slowly withdrew his hand and turned around.

The camera rose from his shoulder, pulling all the way up to reveal the entire Candlefire Hall on the screen.

The next moment, the perspective shifted, landing in a small, dark room. Beside a Spirit Candleholder, Wax Oil pooled together, and a newly born Candle Spirit slowly rose to its feet…

From the surroundings, the faint roars of monsters could be heard.

The newborn Candle Spirit slowly turned, revealing a pair of deep eyes, a mixture of azure and black. The mysterious azure color grew larger and larger, gradually filling the entire screen.

The scene transitioned.

In the next moment, music with a powerfully Epic feel began to play, accompanied by Noxia’s soft chanting.

Countless battle scenes flashed across the screen, many featuring the silhouettes of players in combat.

Interspersed were shots of two structures: the Sin Furnace and the Candle Spirit Tree.

There was also a mysterious, black-robed figure fishing alone on a desolate island at sea.

Finally, the image froze on a scene before a Milestone Spirit Candle.

A Candle Spirit in a Warrior’s garb, its face obscured, stood up as its entire body began to burn.

A moment later, it cupped its hands, slowly raising them high above its head.

A massive flame surged upward, forming a Warfire Greatsword!

The flames exploded outward, and the final image froze on the screen…

…

After watching the CG, the players were so excited they felt like they were about to have an orgasm.

“AHHHH, THAT WAS SO COOL!!!”

“I wanna play! I wanna play right now!”

“Every second feels like a year! Every second feels like a year! This wait feels longer than holding a plank!”

“I can’t take it anymore, I want it nooow~”

Who had the time to pay attention to the specific content of the CG?

Every single one of them was uncontrollably excited.

…

Meanwhile, Spirit Candle’s “Prison Players” were already used to discussing things in their chat group.

Thanks to the efforts of Enchanting Demon Li Miao and Granny Pig, quite a few Prison Players had joined the group, and there were many active members who chatted idly all day.

Battle Bliss: “Hahaha, the update announcement and CG are out! Bros, go look!”

Battle Bliss: “Fuck, I’m so hyped I could die. Nope, can’t wait. We can play in two hours, so I’m gonna grab a bite to eat first!”

Brother Miao Won’t Fail the Exam: “Already eating. I don’t have class this afternoon, so I’m planning to go to bed early today.”
