"It doesn't have to be for that. The Version 2.0 update has added a new way to expand the settlement."
Mo Shigui took out a wooden table from his backpack and placed it in front of everyone. At the same time, he took out a map of Brandt Island and placed it on the table.
"Before the update, if we want to increase the size of the settlement, we can only look for the NPC Elu to accept difficult hunting missions and use the settlement seeds as a reward to expand the construction area of the settlement."
At the current stage, the Leaping Core settlement occupied an area of 750 square meters. The way to upgrade the settlement was to feed the ancient tree other settlement seeds.
The Leaping Core settlement was a Level-3 settlement seed. Mo Shigui had also considered building a new settlement with the remaining Hardstone settlement seed.
However, it was meaningless … It was better to increase the various attributes of the settlement.
But here came the problem …
"The goodwill produced by the NPCs can be exchanged for items to increase the settlement area. This means that the officials are encouraging us to recruit more NPCs, but the problem is …"
Mo Shigui pointed at the other five unconquered areas of Brandt Island.
"The initial design of the settlement system should be for the players to temporarily experience the Holy Spirit's construction gameplay. After the construction of the portal in the main mission is completed, this settlement should be abandoned."
"This … Guild Master, if the game officials really let the players abandon the settlement, I guess many of them will go into a state of rage, right?"
As the builder of the Leaping Core settlement, Little Feather had poured too much effort into the settlement.
He had slept less than five hours in the past few days.
It was not because Mo Shigui did not allow him to sleep, but because building a settlement was too fun.
Every day, he was obsessed with stacking one block on top of another, and then watching one block after another turn into a towering wall or a beautiful building.
Then, when the other players in the guild came online, they would praise Little Feather for being awesome.
The feeling of being able to show the houses he built to others and be of use in the guild was more addictive than killing monsters for Little Feather.
"Alright, the game developers might not necessarily reset Brandt Island. The problem is, what if all the Lord-tier monsters on Brandt Island have been killed?
What if a guild has completed the Teleportation Gate and completed all the main quests? "
Mo Shigui used an even crueler method to tell Little Feather … something that gamers had no choice but to face.
With the update of the game, the equipment that he was once proud of had become obsolete and was reduced to scrap.
"What if after the version update, the Main Storyline Mission is pushed forward, and a new map is released? What if we all head to the new map to explore?"
"This … Guild Leader, you're thinking too far into the future. The new map should be … a few months from now?"
At this point, Little Feather's tone weakened considerably.
Little Feather didn't dare to underestimate the Sacred Spirit's regeneration progress.
It had only been four months since the server was launched, and the updates were so fast that Little Feather had forgotten that this was … a game that was still in beta testing.
The number of players in the game had dropped to less than 60,000. However, during these four months, the Holy Spirit had released a large-scale Instance Dungeon, the Battle of the Divinities, a brand new map, Brandt Island, and a brand new playstyle.
What would the Holy Spirit evolve into after half a year?
Little Feather didn't know … All he knew was that even if the Sacred Spirit slowed down the pace of updates, the base he built would gradually become obsolete, just like the Players' equipment.
But … was it really possible?
"Don't be depressed, Little Feather. Call the others online and discuss the future development of the game. The official NPC reward system is a hint," Mo Shigui said.
"Hint?"
Little Feather seemed to be grasping at straws. He stared at Mo Shigui, wanting to ask what the official hint was.
"Building a town, building a city … Didn't you notice?
The NPC reward system encourages the Players to take in more wandering NPCs, and intentionally encourages the Players to develop farming, animal husbandry, and agriculture. Although the various data isn't shown in detail, the Holy Spirit's base system is so good that the game officials have no reason to give up on it after one Brandt Island dungeon, "Mo Shigui said.
"Guild Leader, you mean … our base might become a small town in the future?" Little Feather asked.
"I'm just guessing. Let everyone go online and discuss it. In my opinion, this game is quite ambitious. It's just a matter of how it's realized," Mo Shigui said.
Ah … I really haven't thought about it.
Jiang Qiao listened quietly at the side. At this stage, Jiang Qiao's mind was filled with thoughts of increasing the Assimilation Value, so that Brandt Island would truly become … a map that belonged to the Holy Spirit game.
But what would become of the Players' base in the future … This was something that Jiang Qiao hadn't considered too seriously.
So when Jiang Qiao heard Mo Shigui's expectant tone, Jiang Qiao felt a little ashamed.
Under Mo Shigui's call, the core members of the Vivacious Core Guild who were still sleeping came online one by one. They surrounded the table where Mo Shigui had placed the map of Brandt Island.
"Have any of you seen the Version 2.0 update of Brandt Island?" Mo Shigui asked.
"Ah?
Is it Version 2.0?
I just woke up and didn't put on a facial mask. "
Laziness, the Pharmacist, was still rubbing her eyes. She was sleepy … Unfortunately, rubbing her eyes in the game was useless.
"Guild Master, you're finally online. I'm about to defect to Cola Mania's side. Miss Visser is so beautiful. In order to get Miss Visser's hearts, Guild Master Air Bubble taught her how to play Mahjong and Fight the Landlord step by step. I also joined him for two rounds." Tonight, Your Mother MUST DIE rushed back from outside the guild.
He had been in Cola Mania's base to experience the Heart System.
"Eh?
Our Sister Ye Linna dropped a lot of hearts. F * ck … They dropped all over the floor. Why did they stop dropping?
Sister Ye Linna, smash … come … "Tonight, Your Mother MUST DIE returned to the base and found that the floor was covered with translucent hearts. They were all dropped by Ye Linna.
However, after Your Mother MUST DIE picked them up, there were thirty-one of them. Just as he was about to urge Ye Linna to drop a few more, he was dragged away by Fluffy Rabbit.
"Guild Master, do you want us to catch pets or NPCs?" Black Pot Cooked Meat had also just woken up. He was currently staying in the same hotel room as Mo Shigui.
"Pets are the most important at this stage. The key is that I think in the future updates, the game officials might want players to build their own towns and even cities," said Mo Shigui.
"Holy Ghost can't have such a high degree of freedom, right?
The question is, does the game officials of Holy Ghost really have such technology? "Black Pot Cooked Meat expressed that … he was unwilling to believe that there was a game in this era with such … boldness.
That's right … boldness. The base construction system itself was already amazing to the players, but there was a fundamental difference between a base and a town.
A town full of players was obviously not fun. If players wanted to have fun after building a town, they would need a large number of NPCs to live in it. Not only that, but there were also various events in the town, such as foreign merchants visiting and enemies invading.
