The NPC Jiang Qiao, the goblin merchant, has been edited. His function is that players can use magic stones to find him to change their costumes.
This merchant's brothers and sisters will accompany the players for a long time in the future, because every time a foreign world copy appears, he will appear and let the players exchange the props obtained in the foreign world for fashion or mounts.
After Jiang Qiao placed a decomposition machine next to the enhancer lady, he added some minor modifications to the player system itself. For example, when refreshing the record, not only the data will be recorded on the stone tablet, but the recorded data can also be seen on the player's system interface.
These modifications are all aimed at optimizing the player's dungeon experience. After completing all the modifications, big and small, Jiang Qiao opened the portal and returned to the Astrology Tower, preparing to officially announce the existence of this new dungeon to the players.
"Where should the entrance to the dungeon be placed?" Jiang Qiao opened the game map of the Holy Spirit.
Currently, Holy Spirit only has one continent and four cities, all surrounded by the sea, the kind of sea with no boundaries for players to swim out to.
The main of the four cities is Lionheart City, which is surrounded by monsters of levels one to twenty, and there is a level twenty copy. Above it is Eagle Claw City, where the monsters are mainly level twenty to thirty, and there are four copies. Below Eagle Claw City are Wolfheart City and Frost Deer City, for a total of eight copies.
The levels are analogous. The frost-style map of Frost Deer City is the end point of player exploration in this version, with level 50 monsters and four level 50 copies.
There are dozens of small villages and towns scattered around the map, and these river bridges are not listed here.
There are a lot of contents to explore in Holy Spirit. The job change system and various hidden tasks alone are enough to keep players busy for half a year, but Jiangqiao still needs to keep updating the version.
This update is an update to the new dungeon, Tower of Trials.
"The entrance is at the port of Lionheart City." Jiang Qiao swiped the game map. The port of Lionheart City was a leveling area for levels 15 to 20, and the Tower of Trials was a copy that could be challenged by levels from 25 to 50.
Jiang Qiao decided to place the entrance to the tower plane fragment at the port. As he spoke, a mini tower appeared in his hand. Jiang Qiao held the mini tower and placed it on the coast not far from the Lionheart City port like playing chess.
After Jiang Qiao put it up, he moved it a bit out of compulsion, and even took out a ruler to confirm that the Trial Tower was aligned with the lighthouse of Lionheart City before he touched the tower with his fingertips.
The originally gray-white tower statue quickly gained color under Jiang Qiao's touch, and at the same time Jiang Qiao felt the entire astrological observatory vibrate slightly.
Jiang Qiao walked quickly to the outside of the observatory and looked towards the port. In the distance, on the sea level of the port, a pure white tower that soared into the clouds appeared above the sea level along with the shaking of the waves and the ground.
"Alright. The number of dungeons is still set to unlimited. The challenge level of the first level is from level 25 to level 35, the second level is from level 35 to level 40, and so on. The rest is for the players to go in and test it out."
The first person Jiang Qiao thought of was Zhao Mingwei. It was now afternoon and Zhao Mingwei and his friends would only be online at night. Jiang Qiao thought about it and sent a private message to Zhao Mingwei.
Jiang Qiao originally wanted to ask, "Are you going to play the game tonight?", but after thinking for a while, he deleted the message and changed it to "I'm planning to build a guild, do you want to join me?"
There are already three guilds in Holy Spirit, and none of them have many members. Jiang Qiao has always wanted to try to build a guild when playing games. It is not for competing for a top spot on the leaderboard or anything like that, but simply to find a group of friends to play games with.
During the dispute, Jiang Qiao also established a guild, but not many people joined. After Jiang Qiao stopped playing, the few contacts in the guild gradually AFK.
Jiang Qiao is not a solo player and he clearly understands that online games are truly fun when played with friends.
"Okay, wait until I'm online." Zhao Mingwei quickly replied to Jiang Qiao.
This reply comes from the Holy Spirit APP, which has the function of directly replying to friends' messages.
Jiang Qiao saw the reply, walked to the edge of the Astrology Tower and looked towards the port area. Some players had already discovered a new copy portal that appeared at the port.
Jiang Qiao set the Trial Tower dungeon as a guild team dungeon, because most of the equipment produced by the Trial Tower are holy relics of the guild and the manor.
Solo players who do not want to join a guild can also place the relics in their own manors, which will also have the same effect.
In order to increase the server limit as quickly as possible, Jiangqiao does not plan to set the number of challenges for the Tower of Trials, while the normal dungeon is five times a day. The normal dungeon challenge has equipment and experience output bonuses, but the Tower of Trials does not, and is essentially the same as spawning monsters in wild maps.
However, the Tower of Trials has a mechanism for rewarding players for clearing records, and it can be a place for players to demonstrate their skills and strength.
Jiang Qiao took advantage of this time to observe the players' gameplay in the Trial Tower in stealth mode as a GM.
There were not many players entering the Trial Tower in the previous hour, but now the majority of Holy Spirit players have reached level 25, and the highest player on the level list has even reached level 32.
There are three dungeons from level 25 to level 30, and each dungeon takes about half an hour to an hour. Now most of the players are busy brushing the dungeons of this world. Those who notice this tower are basically novice players who are still in the Lionheart main city.
But the first group of players who challenged the Tower of Trials had already appeared, and the player leading them was none other than the anchor Mo Dao Jianke, who had previously come into contact with Jiang Qiao.
It seemed that he had no real friends in the Holy Spirit, and he had to shout in front of the Trial Tower for more than ten minutes before he could barely form a team of four and enter the first floor of the Trial Tower.
The challenge of the first level of the Trial Tower was more difficult than Jiang Qiao had expected. Among the four-man team, only the swordsman Mo Dao had decent skills. It was obvious that he had turned off the combat assistance of the Holy Spirit and was truly "using his own sword-swinging movements" to release his skills. The other five players all used their minds to directly press shortcut keys.
Manual skills and quick casting each have their own advantages. They stopped and started all the way and it took them one hour and twenty-four minutes to barely pass the first level of the Trial Tower.
After they passed, the upper limit of the number of people on Jiangqiao's server increased by about thirteen...
As soon as the Modao swordsman came out of the Trial Tower, he received a system prompt.
'Your clearance record ranks 43rd among all challengers.'
"We are beaten like this and we can still make the list?"
When the Mo Dao swordsman saw this prompt, he was shocked for a moment. The wild team he formed was not reliable at all. They didn't even have a nurse, and they had to rely on grinding to defeat the final BOSS.
Ordinary dungeons also have rankings, but only the top ten player teams will be displayed.
"The copy records are here. Wait, are they all NPC records?"
The elemental mage in the magic swordsman team came to the first stone slab according to the system prompts, but the stone slab was filled with the names of a large number of Western characters.
Such a serious name doesn't look like something a player would choose.
"We broke the record preset by the system, and we were ranked last. Why do we feel a little embarrassed?" said another Lancer in the team.
The reason they feel ashamed is that in the game, everything preset by the system, especially the clearance records, can usually be broken very easily, which is equivalent to a simple challenge.
"This dungeon can only accommodate six people. There are rewards for breaking the dungeon record. Do you have any friends who are online at level 25? Please help them quickly, or I can form a group with two more people."
The Swordsman of the Strange Blade watched another team enter the Tower of Trials, and knew that if he wanted to claim the reward for the dungeon record, he had to act quickly. After the players had cleared all the NPC records, a bunch of perverted speedrunners would enter the Tower of Trials, and the reward for this record would not be so easy to get.
