Chapter 985 National War Setting

The first eight updates are mainly aimed at the lord mode, and the next four are closely related to adventure players.

【9】Introduced the equipment binding system.

In view of the high cost of reincarnation for adventure players, especially after a piece of equipment is dropped, if no one picks it up, the loss will be too heavy for the player, and it will start to affect the balance of the game.

Gaia launched the equipment binding system at the right time this time. Players only need to spend one-tenth of the equipment's valuation gold coins to soul-bind the equipment, and it will not drop when they die.

Equipment valuation is done by the system itself.

For high-end players, this is undoubtedly a boon, which is equivalent to buying insurance.

【10】Introduced a special pill system.

This update is also to compensate adventurers. Gaia will invest in some rare tasks in the underground world, and there is a chance to get pills like [Experience Pill] and [Practice Pill].

Reincarnated players take similar pills, which can quickly improve their level and skills, and shorten the training time.

There is a saying in "Book of Changes": "The Dao is fifty, the Tianyan is forty-nine, escape one."

The one who escapes is a glimmer of life. Gaia obviously doesn't want to do everything wrong. For talented adventure players, even if they are unfortunately reincarnated, with the help of pills, there is still a chance to make a comeback.

Through the first two updates, Ouyang Shuo faintly sensed that Gaia might be laying the groundwork for a large-scale national war. Only by reducing the loss of reincarnation can the enthusiasm of adventure players be stimulated to the greatest extent.

[11] World Martial Arts Conference.

In the last round of system update, in order to satisfy players' desire for PK, Gaia launched the arena system in due course. This time, on the basis of the arena, a more exciting World Martial Arts Conference is launched.

To put it bluntly, this is a world contest.

Since the fifth year of Gaia, one year has been regarded as a competition cycle. In the first half of the year, the king city (including the capital city of the territory) was used as the competition area to determine the top ten players in the arena points.

The top ten players will receive the title of "Top Ten Masters of the Royal City" and related rewards. The title has attribute bonuses. The items rewarded are based on the dark gold level, and there is a very small probability of obtaining purple gold level items.

The first place will definitely get a purple gold item.

In autumn, with the country as the competition area, the top ten masters of Zhuwangcheng will gather together for a new round of competition system PK to determine the top ten "Top Ten Masters in the World" and distribute more generous rewards at the same time.

This round of rewards is based on purple-gold items, and there is a very small probability of obtaining a low-grade artifact. The first 100% can get a low-grade artifact reward.

If a country has only one royal city and no territorial capital, this round will automatically merge with the previous round.

In winter, the top ten masters from all over the world gather in the city of the sky to determine the "top ten masters in the world" in a knockout match, and win the highest honor of "No. 1 in the world".

The top ten players in the world will be rewarded with at least one low-grade artifact, and the first place will 100% get a mid-grade artifact. If [Fuyuan] is deep, they may even directly get a high-grade artifact.

More importantly, "No. 1 in the World" not only rewards individuals, but also rewards national honor points. If it is said that adventure players have the same opportunity as the lord, they can "win glory for the country".

As soon as this update came out, no one, whether it was a guild overlord, a mountain hermit, or a wandering knight, could resist such a temptation, and everyone was gearing up.

As the saying goes: there is no first in literature, and there is no second in martial arts.

The competition among adventurers is already fierce, and now Gaia has given such a platform to gain both fame and fortune, directly pushing the competition among warriors to the highest peak.

What Ouyang Shuo was more interested in was the deep meaning behind Gaia's move.

Maybe Gaia is already building momentum for Hope Planet. In that atlas, Ouyang Shuo has seen the powerful individual creatures of Hope Planet, so a group of heroes are needed to throw their heads and blood.

Advocating force will never become obsolete in times of war.

【12】Introduced the Guru Proving System.

Gaia upholds justice, and the first three items mainly benefit combat professional players. Gaia will naturally not neglect the larger group of life professional players.

The so-called "grandmaster proving the way" means that once a life professional player breaks through the bottleneck and is promoted to a grandmaster, he will receive an exclusive title and generous rewards without any additional conditions.

The reward standard is comparable to the "Top Ten Masters in the World", when to promote and when to give rewards.

As for the "God Master" who is promoted to the highest level, the reward standard is directly on the same level as the "Top Ten Masters in the World", and the first person to be promoted to God Master will also receive a special award.

Gaia is still very sober, professional combat players are famous outside, but it is those batches of unknown life professional players who can really support the foundation of the game.

Even on Planet Hope, with ten years of training in the game, they can show their strengths, especially those master-level and even god-level talents, even on Planet Hope, they can still be unique.

After watching this round of system update in one breath, Ouyang Shuo was in a complicated mood, because he was standing high enough, Ouyang Shuo could understand Gaia's intention behind it.

"So, are you stepping up preparations for Planet Hope?" Ouyang Shuo muttered to himself, "What kind of unknown crisis is hidden in that mysterious planet that makes Gaia so ready?!"

No one could answer Ouyang Shuo.

At this moment, another system announcement sounded.

"World Announcement: On the occasion of the fourth anniversary of the operation of "Earth Online", the game will release the fourth expansion piece [Empire Expedition]. Please log on to the official website to check the details."

...

Ouyang Shuo took a deep breath, "The national war is really coming!"

Previously, the conquest of Morocco and Somalia was just an individual act of Da Xia. When the expansion pack is officially released, it means that an era of all-out national war led by Gaia has officially arrived.

Ouyang Shuo couldn't wait to check the relevant settings.

First of all, Gaia introduces the concept of "National War Month".

Since the fifth year of Gaia, Gaia has designated June as the "National War Month" every year, giving this month many conveniences.

First, only in the National War Month can you enjoy the buff brought by the national honor points.

Great Xia conquered Xingguo, Morocco, and Somalia one after another, bringing 30 national honor points to China, which is equivalent to an optional 30% gain bonus, which is very remarkable.

Second, the borders that cannot be crossed geographically can become smooth only during the National War Month.

Take the national border between Daxia and Annan as an example. Right now, it is an endless stretch of rocky mountains soaring into the clouds, which cannot be crossed at all. Wait until June, but the magical moat will be turned into a thoroughfare.

This alone is enough for Ouyang Shuo to make up his mind to completely resolve Annan's obscurity before June of the fifth year of Gaia, so as to prevent Annan from jumping out to make trouble and attack the hinterland of Great Xia during the national war.

Ouyang Shuo did not take advantage of the national war to attack Annan.

As the saying goes: good steel is used on the blade. In the first national war month, with the will of the players in China, they didn't think about it at all, and decided to aim at Japan. Ouyang Shuo didn't want to make troubles.

Third, only in the National War Month can you enjoy the contribution value bonus.

Unlike Daxia's attack on Morocco, the real national war is a war involving the participation of the whole people, just like a large-scale battle, with the setting of the contribution value of the national war.

Whether it's killing generals and capturing the flag, or providing logistical reinforcements, the mighty Gaia can evaluate each participant's contribution to preparation after the national war is over.

The national war contribution value is basically similar to the battle contribution value. Lord players can exchange it for merit points or use it to revive fallen troops; adventure players can use it to offset reincarnation or exchange items.

At that time, the Guozhan Mall will be filled with a wide variety of commodities.

It can be said that after a national war, it is a carnival feast for the victorious country.

During the National War Month, players will enjoy a 50% national war contribution bonus. Based on this alone, no country will foolishly choose other times to launch a national war.

Gaia's lure is to turn June into a pure national war chaos, and other times it is to prepare for the national war or heal the wounds, so that the national war will not occupy the whole year's drama.

Secondly, the setting of the leader of the national war has also officially surfaced.

Each country needs to elect a national war leader before the National War Month, who represents the country to delineate the national war goals, national war strategies, select gain BUFF types, and coordinate the entire national war, etc.

On the official website, Gaia lists the rights and obligations of the leader of the national war in detail.

After all, the player's first thought is that a good national war leader is worth thousands of troops, and a bad national war leader may drag them into the abyss.

So how to choose the leader of the national war? very simple.

Gaia will open a voting channel in the forums of various countries, one person, one vote. As of May 1, whoever has the most votes will be the leader of the national war.

If two years ago, Ouyang Shuo would not have been able to defeat Dichen if the leader of the national war had been determined in this way, but now, Ouyang Shuo was basically sure.

Of course, if during this period, Ouyang Shuo insisted on provoking a "civil war" with the [Yanhuang League] and let Dichen stand on the moral high ground, the result might be different.

Finally, it is about the settings of the national equipment.

There has been a deviation in history, and the setting of the national weapon in this life is different from that of the previous life. According to Gaia's latest national weapon setting, each country has a basic national weapon.

Every time the national honor points exceed 100 points, a new national weapon will be born.

Except for special circumstances, one hundred national honor points equals the destruction of ten countries. Even if the game is over, not many countries will be able to have a second national weapon.

The basic national weapon in China is nothing but the sword of the holy way [Xuanyuan Sword], which ranks first among the top ten famous swords. This sword is not a secret, and it is being held by the Yellow Emperor.

As the last time the Yanhuang tribe sent envoys to congratulate Daxia on the founding of the dynasty, it was no secret that the two tribes had established themselves.

Even so, no one dared to covet the Xuanyuan Sword, and no one dared to snatch it.

Interestingly, Gaia stipulates that if the leader of the national war can go out with a national weapon, he will automatically receive a blessing of the national fortune, which is beneficial to the national war.

I'm afraid this is also a test for the leaders of the national war, even Ouyang Shuo is not sure.
