"It's not necessarily for these reasons. This 2.0 update is equivalent to adding a new method for base expansion."
Mo Shigui took out a wooden table from his backpack and placed it in front of everyone. He also took out a map of Brand Island and placed it on the table.
"Before the update, if we wanted to increase the construction area of our base, we had to go to the NPC Elu to take on high-difficulty hunting missions and use the rewards of base seeds to expand the base's construction area."
At present, the base of Leaping Nuclear covers an area of 750 square meters. The way to upgrade the base is to feed the ancient tree with seeds from other bases.
The Leaping Nuclear's stronghold is a third-level stronghold seed. Mo Shigui has also considered using the remaining stubborn stone stronghold seed to build a new stronghold.
But it’s meaningless...it would be better to improve the various attributes of this stronghold.
But here comes the problem…
"The thoughts produced by NPCs can be exchanged for items to increase the area of the base. This means that the authorities are encouraging us to recruit more NPCs, but the problem is..."
Mo Shigui pointed to the other five unconquered areas of Brand Island.
"When the stronghold system was first designed, it should have been to allow players to temporarily experience the construction gameplay of the Holy Spirit. After the portal in the main quest was built, the stronghold should have been abandoned."
"This... President, if the game officials really let the players abandon their bases, I guess many people will go berserk, right?"
As the builder of the Leaping Nuclear Base, Little Feather has devoted a lot of effort to the entire base.
These days he has slept for no more than five hours in total.
It wasn’t because Mo Shigui wouldn’t let him sleep, but because building a stronghold was just too much fun.
Every day he was obsessed with stacking one block on top of another, and then watching the blocks turn into a towering wall or an exquisite building.
Then when other players in the guild come online, they will praise "Little Feather Master is awesome."
For Xiao Yumao, the feeling of being able to show the house he built to others and having it come in handy in the guild is even more addictive than killing monsters.
"Well, the game planner may not necessarily reset Brand Island. The question is, have all the lord monsters on Brand Island been spawned? Has any guild built a portal and completed all the main quests?"
Mo Shigui used a more cruel way to tell Xiao Yuhua something that game players have to face.
With the update of the game version, the equipment that I was once proud of became outdated and became waste.
"What if after the version is updated, the main quest advances, a new map is released, and we all go to explore the new map?"
"This... President, you are thinking too far ahead. The new map should be released in... a few months?"
When Little Feather said this, his tone became much weaker.
Xiao Yumao really doesn't dare to underestimate the update progress of the Holy Spirit.
It has only been four months since the server was launched, and the updates are so fast that Xiao Yumao even forgot that this is a game that is still in the closed beta stage.
The number of players has dropped to less than 60,000, but in these four months, Holy Spirit has launched the large-scale dungeon Battle of the Divine, the new map Brand Island and a new construction gameplay.
What will the Holy Spirit evolve into in half a year
Little Feather didn't know... He only knew that even if the Holy Spirit slowed down the pace of updates in the future, the stronghold he built might become outdated and eliminated as the versions progressed, just like the players' equipment.
But...is it really possible
"Don't be depressed. Xiao Yumao asked other people to come online to discuss the future development of this game. The official NPC mind system is a hint." Mo Shigui said.
"hint?"
Xiao Yu Mao seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw. He stared at Mo Shigui and wanted to ask what the official hint was.
"Build a town, build a city... haven't you noticed? The NPC's Reward System encourages players to take in more wandering NPCs, and is intended to encourage players to develop farming, animal husbandry, and agriculture. Although various data are not displayed in detail now, the foundation laid by the Holy Spirit's stronghold system is so excellent that there is no reason for the game officials to give up on the Brand Island copy after just one try." Mo Shigui said.
"President, do you mean... our base could become a small town in the future?" Little Feather asked.
"I'm just speculating. Let's discuss it online. In my opinion, this game has great ambitions. It just depends on how it is implemented." Mo Shigui said.
Ah…I really haven’t thought about it.
Jiang Qiao was listening silently at the side. At this stage, all Jiang Qiao was thinking about was increasing the assimilation value, so that Brand Island could truly become... a map belonging to the game "Holy Spirit".
But what will happen to the players' bases in the future? Jiang Qiao has not given this much serious thought.
So when Jiang Qiao heard Mo Shigui's expectant tone, he felt a little ashamed.
At Mo Shigui's call, the core members of the Leaping Nuclear Guild who were still sleeping came online one by one. They all gathered around the table where Mo Shigui placed the map of Brand Island.
"Has anyone seen the update of Brand Island 2.0?" Mo Shigui asked.
"Ah? Has it been updated to 2.0? I just woke up and haven't even put on a facial mask." The pharmacist was still rubbing her eyes lazily. She looked sleepy... but rubbing the eyes is useless in the game.
"President, you are finally online. I am about to defect to Coke Mania. Miss Weisser is so beautiful. In order to win Miss Weisser's hearts, President Bubble taught her how to play mahjong and Landlord and so on. I also followed and played two tables." Your Mother Will Die Tonight rushed back from outside the guild.
He has been experiencing the mind system in the stronghold of Coke fanatics for some time.
“Huh? Our sister Ye Lina dropped so many little hearts, damn... They are all over the floor, why did they stop dropping? Sister Ye Lina, smash... here..." Your mother will die tonight. When she returns to the base, she finds a floor full of translucent red hearts, all dropped by Ye Lina.
But after picking up all the things your mother must die tonight, there were thirty-one of them. When he was about to urge Ye Lina to drop a few more, he was dragged away by the Fluffy Rabbit.
"President, do you want us to catch pets or NPCs?" Hei Guo Zhu Rou had just woken up. He was now staying in the same hotel room with Mo Shigui.
"Pets are the most important thing at this stage. The key is that I think in subsequent updates, the game officials may want players to build their own towns or even cities." Mo Shigui said.
"The degree of freedom of the game "Holy Spirit" can't be this high, right? The question is, does the official game of "Holy Spirit" really have the technology to do this?" Heiguozhurou said... He didn't want to believe that there were games in this generation that had this kind of... courage.
That’s right…it’s bold. The stronghold construction system itself is amazing to players, but there is an essential difference between a stronghold and a town.
A town full of players is obviously not fun at all. If players want to have fun after building the town, they will definitely need a large number of NPCs to move in. Not only NPCs, but also various events in the town, such as visits from foreign merchants and enemy invasions.
