[1.0 public beta version update log]
"Dear players and friends! After more than half a year of internal testing, we are finally honored to announce that we have started our official public testing. We will no longer limit the number of players. All players only need to follow us. The official website, purchase our game warehouse, you can enter the game for a new experience! The following are the details of our updates.
We have expanded our main server: now both the Eternal Kingdom Dungeon and the Free City of Victoria will cancel the five thousand player limit. However, for the sake of balance between the two camps, we will still control the relationship between the two camps. When the number of players is too high, we will close the transfer system. Before that, players can transfer at will.
We have completely opened up the world's exploration system: players will be able to freely explore the world. We have an infinitely wide world that can be freely explored by everyone. But please note that your exploration of the world may cause permanent changes in the world, not just changes in the most basic terrain and landforms, but also changes in the relationships between NPCs and world forces.
We have completely opened up the territory system: players can now establish their own strongholds, places, and even countries and empires within the specified range. But no matter what kind of stronghold or territory you establish, it will always belong to the Eternal Kingdom Dungeon or the Free City of Victoria. You will swear allegiance to Lord Sherlock or Queen Lilo, and you will need to turn in part of any income you earn in the territory.
We will open the NPC hatred system. Now the NPCs between the two camps will hate each other. They may directly attack the players after meeting them. Of course, there will also be some adventure tasks between these NPCs for the players to complete. The specific content Players need to explore on their own.
We have opened up a large number of life occupations: in addition to the existing most basic magic engineers, carpenters, blacksmiths, chefs, tailors, etc., players can now also learn all the occupations you can imagine, as long as you can be in the outside world. Just find a tutor, but please note that the time to learn these skills will be very long, and it may take up your entire game life. Learning more skills will take more time, and it is very important to concentrate on one skill. There are necessary things.
On this basis, we will maintain all the previous gameplay, including dungeons and powerful bosses, and launch many new ogre bosses. After successfully challenging the game, you may obtain mysterious magic skill books.
Since we defeated Frangipani, the undead aura in the School of the Undead has been weakened a lot, but we still need to purify it. We will open lower-level dungeons. The undead that players encounter may not be as powerful as before, but there will be more of them. This is a way to help new players quickly become familiar with the game environment and accumulate equipment.
We will show you the specific new copy of the School of the Dead in a subsequent announcement.
We have developed a new magic prop · [Internet TV]: For the needs of pvp gameplay, we will open a magic prop that can broadcast the player's pvp process in the game, and this kind of magic prop is not only It is what the players have, and those NPCs will also have it. Combat skills, powerful players will also be able to gain many NPC fans.
The gameplay in the Arena will be richer. Players are advised to pay attention to the announcement on the official website for many subsequent gameplays.
We may launch a World Championship-type competition, and are currently negotiating cooperation with many manufacturers. In the future, players will be able to win competitions with their own combat skills and receive generous bonuses.
But players, please don’t forget your mission in this world, which is to assist Lord Sherlock in building the great Eternal Kingdom dungeon!
We have updated the relationship between the Free City of Victoria and the Kingdom of Gods: Due to various events that have occurred before, the neutral relationship between the Free City of Victoria and the Kingdom of Gods has now been converted to a hostile relationship. The army of the Kingdom of Gods outside the Victoria Forest is now Belonging to a hostile state, all players in Victoria Free City or Eternal Kingdom Dungeon can attack them.

There are also a large number of new equipment and other gameplay methods. Due to space limitations, I will not elaborate here in detail. What you will face is an unprecedented new world. Please explore freely. The young man is moving towards a better future.
Don’t forget to do daily tasks! "
Sherlock's update announcement is not complicated, and the content in the announcement is not a very detailed update as usual. After all, after the open test, the update content does not change much, and more is just the registration of the game. The number of people allows more players to flood into the game and become Sherlock's tool men, working hard to realize his dream of building a great dungeon.
For this reason, Sherlock has prepared many interesting ways to play, so that players can grow up happily in the dungeons they have created and be happy as tools.
"Lord Sherlock, you are so kind. After opening the public beta, you still don't let those people work for us wholeheartedly and squeeze out their flesh and blood. You also plan to open a new copy of King's Academy of the Dead for them, but please With all due respect, although Professor Bacon has now become the principal of the College of the Dead, it is still a bit difficult to fully cooperate with Wanglin College. We can't let all the contacts of those students be our people. ? Their parents will have some objections. After all, student safety is now taken very seriously. If safety cannot be guaranteed, those parents may come to the college to cause trouble."
As Blue said, although many of the cooperative relationships between Sherlock and the Academy of the Dead are very dangerous, the students are not 100% safe.
But that is a bit dangerous for graduates taking the graduation exam, and it is normal.
As for general admission students, students who have not yet graduated and those players from the Eternal Kingdom Dungeon and the Free City of Victoria, parents may not be able to accept that their daily study life is so dangerous.
Just like Blue said, the behavior of players cannot be understood with common sense, nor can it be forcibly restricted. We can't let those players not attack the undead during the battle. Then they will participate in those dungeons. It doesn't make any sense anymore. Are you going to die standing? But if the player's behavior is not restricted, and those students of the Academy of the Undead are killed by players just for their daily class life, it will not be good news for the Academy of the Undead.
After Blue asked, Sherlock answered easily:
"I have considered the issues you mentioned and discussed them with Professor Bacon, the principal of the Academy of the Dead. Although it is indeed dangerous for students who have not yet graduated to introduce players into ordinary teaching tasks, but That is the Academy of the Undead. If we can train highly skilled lichs, this danger will be nothing at all. What's more, we can make some preparations in advance, such as not allowing those worry-free students to meet the players in person. In this case, basically There’s no big danger.”
After Sherlock finished speaking, Blue quickly replied:
"It is indeed like what you said, Sherlock, but those players are already very familiar with the Academy of the Undead. If they are allowed to have more contact with the lower-level students, if something special happens..."
"There are not so many ifs and what-ifs, and the cooperation with Wanglin Academy will be beneficial to us without any harm. Even if there are individual risk players that will cause the death of students in the Academy of the Undead, this risk is completely under our control." Within the range and acceptable range." Sherlock said:
"After all, those graduated lichs are likely to flow into our dungeons in the future."
"Wait a minute, Lord Sherlock, what do you mean? Will those graduated lichs enter our dungeon? According to my understanding of you, you won't pay such a high salary to hire those lichs?"
Blue asked in surprise, Sherlock smiled and said:
"Of course I can't hire so many lichs. I already have your high school master, why do I still need to hire these lichs?"
"Lord Sherlock, what do you mean..."
Blue asked strangely, and Sherlock followed closely:
"Of course they are hired by those players. Since we have planned to open up the lord system and let those players build their own strongholds, of course I have to arrange employees for them, and we can also earn some money from these employees. Take care of the commission.”
After Sherlock finished speaking happily, he seemed to have seen the not-too-distant future. Every time those player lords paid wages to other NPCs, they would send part of the magic stones to themselves. The more people they hired, the more magic stones they hired. Sherlock can earn more magic stones.
There is another great opportunity to earn magic stones, how could you not be happy
After hearing what Sherlock said, it was better to do it again and said with emotion:
"As expected of Sir Sherlock, you have thought of this method of fighting magic stones. Those players are really nothing in front of you. I thought you opened the lord system in order to enhance their gaming experience. Yes, I'm still thinking that after the lord system was opened, those players had fewer opportunities to work. But now they only need to maintain their territory, continue to hire more people, and even let more NPCs By becoming a member of their territory, Sir Sherlock will have a share in the taxes you pay. Only you, Sir Sherlock, can think of this method."
Blue's words sounded very sincere. This time it was really not flattery, but sincere emotion.
Just like Sherlock said, the previous policy has always been to focus on the wealth that players can provide individually, and the focus has only been on the players from beginning to end. Most of the other external wealth is players' pensions or pensions. It was only because of those players that the money was sent to Sherlock.
But now if the territory system is opened, and it is really as envisioned by Sherlock, allowing players to create their own cities, their own country hires more employees, and absorbs more indigenous residents, those indigenous residents The wealth created can be turned into taxes and sent to Shylock, and the wages of those employees will also be divided into Shylock's hands.
In this way, wealth can be generated much faster than just extracting it from players, and the status of those players has also been harvested from the original, and successfully promoted to vested interests.
Of course, the players here refer to players who have the strength to build their own territories and kingdoms.
Sherlock still has many things to do, such as one of the seventy-two great demons hidden in Evelin's body, as well as negotiating cooperation with the Academy of the Undead and the Arena to promote magic TVs, and various other odds and ends. thing, but the most important thing right now is to be fully prepared to welcome the upcoming public beta players. According to the current data on the official forum for creating accounts and purchasing virtual game warehouses, the public beta will come in. There are not just 10,000 players, but there will be several times or even hundreds of times the number of players.
It could be a thousand times more likely!
In any case, the preparation work Sherlock needed to do could not be completed in a short time. In order to be 100% ready for the public beta, Sherlock scheduled the public beta for three days.
These three days can also allow game warehouses around the world to be delivered to those players.
The specific preparations are:
First, strengthen the system's control over players. This can be achieved by upgrading Blue's dungeon core level. The upgraded dungeon core can accurately identify the specific locations where players are, what they are doing, and even what they can see. To see what the players see is something Blue couldn't do before. He needs all his power to be able to monitor players in the distance in detail.
Second, improve the core's control over the players. This is also the most important point. If the control over the players is lost, the players' chaotic behavior will have unpredictable consequences for the world. The most important thing is to Sherlock is very unfavorable.
Sherlock just wants to build the most successful and greatest underground city, but he doesn't want to be an enemy of the entire underground world and the surface world.
The third and final point is to improve the worldview of this game. Although the world Sherlock is in is a real world, for players, this is just a game world, and the most important thing about a game is to let players They can find their own sense of belonging and have the motivation to have fun and play in this game. For players, becoming a savior and an awesome big shot is of course a major motivation.
