Chapter 207: Chapter 205: Concept of the Town System (3rd Update)

“It’s not necessarily for these reasons; this 2.0 update is equivalent to adding a new method for stronghold expansion,”

Mo Shigui took out a wooden table from his backpack and set it up in front of everyone. He then placed a map of Biland Island on the table.

“Before the update, if we wanted to increase the construction area of our stronghold, we had to find Alu, the NPC, and undertake high-difficulty hunting missions. By completing them, we’d get a stronghold seed as a reward, which we’d use to expand the construction range of our stronghold.”

Currently, the area occupied by the Dancing Nuclear Guild’s stronghold is seven hundred and fifty square meters. The method to upgrade the stronghold is to feed the ancient tree other stronghold seeds.

The stronghold of the Dancing Nuclear Guild is a level three stronghold seed. Mo Shigui had also considered using the remaining stubborn stronghold seed to build a new stronghold.

But it was pointless… It was better to enhance the various attributes of this stronghold.

But now the problem arose…

“The items produced by NPCs that can be exchanged to increase the stronghold’s area suggest that the officials are encouraging us to recruit more NPCs. However, the problem is…”

Mo Shigui’s finger pointed to the other five uncharted areas of Biland Island.

“At the inception of the stronghold system, it was probably intended to let players temporarily experience the construction gameplay of spirits. After the transport gate in the main quest is constructed, this stronghold should have been discarded,”

“This… Chairman, if the game officials really make players discard their strongholds, I suppose many would be furiously upset, right?”

Xiaoyuma, as the builder of the Dancing Nuclear Guild’s stronghold, had poured too much effort into the entire stronghold.

The total sleep he had gotten in the past few days did not exceed five hours.

It wasn’t because Mo Shigui wouldn’t let him sleep, but because constructing the stronghold was simply too enjoyable.

He spent every day engrossed in stacking one block on top of another and then watching blocks turn into towering city walls or exquisite buildings.

Then, when other guild members logged in, they would praise him: “Xiaoyuma, you’re amazing!”

The pleasure of displaying one’s hand-built houses to others and being useful within the guild was even more addictive for Xiaoyuma than monster hunting.

“Well then, it’s not certain the designers will reset Biland Island. But what if all the lord monsters on Biland Island have been cleared out? What if a guild has already constructed a transport gate and completed all the main quests?”

Mo Shigui told Xiaoyuma about a harsh reality that… gamers had to face.

With each game update, the equipment they once prided themselves on became outdated and turned into junk.

“What if, after the update, the main quests progress and new maps are released, and we all head to the new maps to explore?”

“This… Chairman, you’re thinking too far ahead. New maps should be… a few months away?”

Xiaoyuma’s tone weakened considerably as he said this.

He truly had to respect the update pace of the spirits.

It had only been four months since the game launched, and the update speed was so rapid that Xiaoyuma had almost forgotten that this was still a game… in the beta testing phase.

Although the player count was fewer than sixty thousand, in these four months, the spirits had launched the major instance “Battle of the Godly Forms,” with the brand-new Biland Island map and a completely new building gameplay.

What would the Spirit evolve into in half a year?

Little Feather didn’t know… all he knew was that even if the Spirit slowed down its updates, the stronghold he built would likely become outdated and replaced as the versions progressed, just like the players’ gear.

But… was that really possible?

“Don’t be disheartened, Little Feather. Call everyone online to discuss the future development of this game. The official NPC Intent System is a hint,” said Mo Shigui.

“A hint?”

Like grasping at a lifeline, Little Feather stared at Mo Shigui, eager to know what the official hint was.

“Build a town, build a city… haven’t you noticed? The NPC Intent Rewards System encourages players to take in those wandering NPCs and is seemingly promoting players to engage in farming and livestock, as well as agriculture. Although the data isn’t very detailed yet, the base laid down by the Spirit’s stronghold system is so solid, it’s unlikely the game officials would abandon it after just one Biland Island instance,” Mo Shigui explained.

“You mean… our stronghold might turn into a small town?” Little Feather asked.

“I’m just speculating. Let’s get everyone online to discuss it. From what I see, this game has big ambitions; it’s all about how they’re going to realize them,” said Mo Shigui.

Ah… I hadn’t really thought about that.

Jiang Qiao was listening silently by the side, his mind entirely focused on increasing the assimilation value to truly turn Biland Island into a map belonging to the game “Spirit.”

But what the players’ strongholds would turn into in the future… that was something Jiang Qiao hadn’t seriously considered.

So, listening to Mo Shigui’s expectant tone, Jiang Qiao felt a bit ashamed.

Under Mo Shigui’s call, the core members of the Dancing Nuclear Guild, who had been sleeping, logged in one by one. They gathered around the table where Mo Shigui had laid out the map of Biland Island.

“Who has seen the update for Biland Island version 2.0?” Mo Shigui asked.

“Ah? It updated to 2.0? I just woke up; I haven’t even put on my face mask,” said the Pharmacist lazily as she rubbed her eyes, which unfortunately didn’t do much in the game.

“You finally logged on, Boss. I was almost tempted to switch to the Cola Mania guild; Miss Weiser is really beautiful. For the sake of earning Miss Weiser’s hearts, Bubble Boss taught her how to play Mahjong and Fight the Landlord throughout, and I tagged along for two tables too,” Tonight Your Mom Must Die had rushed back from outside the guild.

He had been experiencing the Intent System at Cola Mania Guild’s stronghold.

“Eh? Our Yelena babe is dropping so many hearts, damn… they are all over the ground, why did they stop dropping all of a sudden? Yelena babe… come on….” Tonight Your Mom Must Die had just returned to the stronghold and discovered the ground covered with semi-transparent red hearts, all dropped by Yelena.

But after Tonight Your Mom Must Die had picked up thirty-one, he was about to urge Yelena to drop more when he was dragged away by a fluffy bunny.

“Boss, do you want us to catch pets, or do you want us to catch NPCs?” Black Pot Stews Meat, who had just woken up, was now staying in the same hotel room as Mo Shigui.

“Pets are the main focus for now, but I think in future updates, the game officials might want players to build their own towns, even cities,” said Mo Shigui.

“The liberty in ‘Spirit’ can’t be high enough for that, can it? The problem is, does ‘Spirit’ game officials even have the technology to achieve such a feat?” Black Pot Stews Meat expressed his disbelief in any game having such… audacity.

Indeed… audacity. The stronghold building system itself had already amazed the players, but there’s a fundamental difference between a stronghold and a town.

A town comprised entirely of players clearly had no fun. If players built a town and wanted to have fun, they would inevitably need a lot of NPCs to move in, not just NPCs moving in, but also various town events like visiting merchants and enemies invading.
