Chapter 155: Chapter 139: This Game Is So Fun

"Welcome back to the Divine War Game, Marching Battlefield! Qing has been waiting for you for a long time! Given the inconvenience caused to all Inheritors during the server maintenance, the system has decided to distribute a return gift pack to all players: a Lucky Discount Card!" Qing’s projection appeared in front of every player.

"Lucky discount?"

"What’s a lucky discount?"

"The lucky discount allows Inheritors to purchase items from the store at a more favorable price," Qing explained. "The discount cards range from ten to ninety percent off. If you don’t understand the concept of percentages, Inheritors can also think of it in terms of ’Tiers’ from one to nine. If you draw a Tier One discount, you can buy any currently available item in the store for your first purchase at just one-tenth of its original price! It’s a great deal. As for how much of a discount you get, that will depend entirely on your own luck!"

"Store?"

"The contents of this update were already posted on the announcement board when the server reopened," Qing replied. "If you haven’t reviewed them in advance, it doesn’t matter. You can directly ask Qing about the new updates, and I will gladly explain them to you!"

Afterward, Qing guided the Inheritors, introducing the store’s merchandise, the leveling system, and the alliance certification functions to the players one by one. While some players indeed hadn’t read the previous update logs, others who had possessed some understanding of the store and alliance certification. However, the leveling system was something completely new to everyone. Thus, they needed to experience it in its entirety.

For the first hour or two, the players were busy adapting to the new patch.

As for the newbie players, none of this concerned them yet; they were still stuck in the beginner’s tutorial!

"This... this store feature! I previously thought it was a useless, take-it-or-leave-it gimmick, but now it seems absolutely Perfect!" one player exclaimed excitedly.

"Exactly! In the past, if you got injured in the Marching Battlefield, you could only rely on your own strength to recover. You had to tough it out. If you ran out of Spiritual Power, you could only cower in hiding to regenerate. Now, the introduction of the Blood Bottle and Blue Bottle will grant players much better sustainability!"

"It’s a godsend for Demonic Creatures that rely on Life Value to deal damage! Previously, when the Demon Dao Blood Race fought, they might drain their own Life Value to nothing by the end of a battle. Now, with the Blood Bottle, they’ll be completely broken. The Blood Race is going to rise!"

Was this the Blood Race’s patch? The players immediately smelled out the faction that would forcefully rise to power following this new update.

"It’s also a godsend for players with high Spiritual Power consumption..."

"Are you talking about the Thunder Race, famously known as the most Spiritual Power-starved class?"

"That’s right! That insane clan claims that as long as they have enough Spiritual Power, they can turn the entire world into a Thunder Pool. They call themselves the descendants of the Celestial Dao, in charge of divine punishment, and possess astonishing burst damage. Unfortunately, casting a Thunder Skill consumes too much energy, rendering them incapable of fighting prolonged battles. With the Blue Bottle, what kind of terrifying level will their abilities reach?"

Without a doubt, the Blood Race and the Thunder Race became the most highly sought-after classes in everyone’s eyes. Upon seeing the new update, the Demon Dao Blood Race and the Celestial Dao Thunder Race were utterly thrilled, rubbing their hands together and itching to go all out!

"Actually, that might not be the case. Did you forget about the leveling system? I feel like the leveling system is the true core of this patch!

"In the leveling system, you can choose attributes to cultivate, such as thunder, wind, snow, metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Every player can choose one or more attributes to train. We can completely base our attribute selection on our own preferences and the meta of the current patch.

"Unlike cultivation in the outside world, the leveling system doesn’t require meditating or tempering the body. You only need to kill a Yin Demon to gain experience or Yin Power, which can then be used to allocate attribute points and level up! Because of this, it’ll be incredibly easy to level a chosen attribute to an extremely high tier. In other words... if you choose the Thunder Element and specialize in it, it won’t be long before your abilities might match those of the Thunder Race!"

"This sounds so fun, I’m going to try it out first!"

"I’m going to cultivate the Thunder Element!"

After understanding the new update’s contents, numerous players eagerly embarked on their first real gaming experience.

Su Tan and the Fat Monk didn’t know how effective it would be either. Inside the Divine Mansion, they closely monitored the players’ experiences. The new patch had arrived. Was their game design actually reasonable? Would it allow the players to better deal with the Yin Demon forces? Everything was still unknown!

Although Su Tan remained confident about it, anything could happen until the very end. All they needed to do was spot any problems and resolve them immediately, serving the Ten Thousand Races Cultivators to the best of their abilities.

Meanwhile, on the Yin Demon side!

"Huh? The Ten Thousand Races Alliance disappeared for over half a month. I thought they had quit, but to think they’re actually making a comeback?"

"Heh... So what if they make a comeback? After over half a month of transporting reinforcements, the Yin Demon Army has practically occupied the entire Marching Battlefield. Now... I refuse to believe they can still turn the tide!"

"Prepare to eradicate these ants!"

However, before the demons could even make a move, the players launched a ferocious, overwhelming assault. They killed forces of the Yin Demon Army, collected experience and Yin Power, and leveled up. Having held it in for over half a month, today was finally the day they could vent their frustrations. The players went completely mad. Upon seeing the demons, not only were they unafraid, but they actually looked at them as if they were staring at walking pieces of cake.

"DING! Main Quest: Kill Yin Demon forces, level up infinitely..."

Su Tan and the Fat Monk decided to spice things up a bit more. There were simply too many forces of the Yin Demon Army inside the Marching Battlefield. They had to be cleared out as quickly as possible.

"In order to give back to the players, we are now releasing new welfare quests! Event One: The Yin Demon Kill Leaderboard. This leaderboard will record the number and levels of enemies killed by players in real-time. The more you kill, the higher your ranking. For identical kill counts, whoever reaches the number first will be ranked higher. The event will last for three days! After the event ends, players on the leaderboard will receive numerous rewards!

"Event Two: The Infinite Leveling Event. To allow players to better experience the joy of leveling up, the developers are hosting an infinite leveling event for three days. During this period, participants will be ranked according to their levels and the overall strength they’ve gained from leveling up. There will be multiple ranking tiers, and generous rewards will be distributed based on your final placement. For specific reward details, please check Qing’s list..."

Not only was there a patch update that introduced fun new gameplay, but they were also giving out so many player benefits? This was simply too generous!

RUMBLE...

The Yin Demon Army prepared to assemble several legions of millions, intending to annihilate the returning Ten Thousand Races Alliance in one fell swoop.

As the saying goes, a battle relies on the initial surge of morale; a second push weakens it, and by the third, it is completely exhausted! The commanders of the Yin Demon Army thought that after such a long absence, no matter how strong the fighting will of the Ten Thousand Races Cultivators was, they couldn’t possibly be as suicidal as before, right? With so many majestic detachments of the Yin Demon Army bearing down on them in the Marching Battlefield, wouldn’t the Ten Thousand Races Cultivators be plunged into absolute despair?

However, they were dead wrong...

Not only had the morale of the Ten Thousand Races Alliance not dropped, it was actually burning hotter than ever before!

Seeing that the Yin Demon Army hadn’t scattered but had "surprisingly" gathered together, the veteran players—excluding the newbies still doing the tutorial—had their eyes shining brightly. Hiding in eerie, dark corners, they revealed their cold, gleaming weapons. Fu Jian and other influential players were busy rallying forces from all sides, preparing to pull off a massive operation to celebrate the server’s reopening!

Later that day.

"Detonator Talisman!!!"

BOOM...

In Fallen God Canyon, as the Yin Demon troops crossed through the area, tens of thousands of Detonator Talismans exploded at the exact same time... The scene was nothing short of spectacular!

"This is so considerate, way too considerate! To help us deal massive damage to a Yin Demon and to give us better welfare rewards, the developers have disguisedly gathered all the enemies in one place. On the surface, it looks like a Yin Demon Army massing to eliminate the Inheritors, but in reality... they deliberately herded them together just so we could kill them all at once! This is just too sweet! We love the devs!"

Watching the ambushed Yin Demon Army get spectacularly and tragically blown to bits in a firework display resembling an atomic bomb explosion, the players in the distance danced with joy!

"This game is seriously too fun!"

If the Yin Demon forces knew what the players were thinking, they would definitely roar out their complaints, "Fucking considerate, my ass... What the hell is all this? What does this have to do with the developers? We gathered here on our own volition, alright?! Why the hell are you thanking the developers?!"
