Chapter 591 Phantom of Hood Island!
That same evening, the update announcement for version 2.01 appeared on the forums and instantly became pinned to the top, bringing a new surprise to the players. Countless players from all over the world flocked to the pinned post to check out the updated content.
The content of the announcement is roughly as follows: The "Apocalypse" game will be shut down for updates at 11:45 tonight, and the update time will be 8 hours. At that time, all accounts will be unable to log in. Players are advised to log off in advance to avoid unexpected losses.
There are five specific updates in total, each of which surprises the players and the scale of the update is huge.
Update 70: The level cap is officially opened to level 60. After reaching level , players can accept the level cap removal task through the game panel, and the level cap will be unlocked after completion.
Update 10: New main quests and challenges will be available. After the downtime update is complete, Wayne Stewell's faction quests will end tomorrow at 2: AM in-game time. The player with the highest contribution will be selected as the "Gateway Hero." Players can visit Nathaniel City East Port after : PM tomorrow to take a free boat to the Motley Islands.
Update 10: The fourth and fifth batches of helmets and submersible pods will be officially released in the game. As usual, 30% of the sales profits will go into the prize pool for the second Apocalypse class. To give newcomers a chance to catch up, newly created characters will receive an additional % experience bonus, which will last until the new character reaches the average level.
Update 3: Players will be allowed to purchase additional character slots, up to a maximum of .
Update 5: Not only the Kingdom of Sifalik and the Kingdom of Blaxton, each country now has a preset main storyline, please be patient to explore. "Apocalypse" is not just about Wayne Stewell.
Welcome to Apocalypse! Please note: your time is no longer your own. For more updated content, please enter the game and explore it yourself.
Zhou Ning couldn't help but curl his lips when he saw the updated content. He didn't expect that the catch-up mechanism and the trumpet slot would be updated.
Apocalypse has been open for over half a year now. As mentioned in the update, with the exception of the Kingdoms of Bryston and Sifarik, where Zhou Ning is stationed, each nation has a pre-established main storyline. In previous lives, during this period, the Planes of the Children of each nation had already emerged, each with a group of loyal fans.
But now, I can create main quests myself, which means I'm always the center of attention among the NPCs, completely overshadowing the other Plane Children. Now, I alone am as popular as the other seven Plane Children combined. No wonder this update specifically reminds me that "Apocalypse" is not just about Wayne Stewell.
……
After waiting for the maintenance to be completed for what felt like an eternity, the underwater Shenxing immediately entered the submersible cabin and began to connect to the world of "Apocalypse".
"Updating..."
"Update completed..."
"Connecting to server."
"East China Server-02 connection completed."
"Welcome to the world of Apocalypse 2.01!"
The login screen of version 2.0 is a little different from that of the previous version 2.01. The login screen of version seems a bit mysterious. There is a CG before it starts. On the dark sea like a waterfall, a huge silver-white ship is quietly anchored. A three-meter-tall giant with a crown on his head is looking forward with a telescope in his hand.
The scene shifted to Wayne Stewell standing on the deck amidst a heavy snowfall. He looked ahead, a few snowflakes tumbling down his shoulders as the hem of his black windbreaker blew high in the wind. Behind him, three black spheres spun at a steady pace. The view slowly zoomed in, and players could clearly see his pupils reflecting a star-like light. Deep within the glow, a ship was approaching the crescent-shaped island chain, and opposite it was the massive silver-white vessel.
The scene changed again, and a sphere behind Wayne Stanwell suddenly popped out and fell into Wayne Stanwell's hand, transforming into a gorgeous pistol. He pointed the black muzzle at the silver-white ship opposite and pulled the trigger.
The picture froze at this point, and a blazing text flashed below:
Welcome to Apocalypse 2.01 - Phantom of Hood Island!
There is also a line of subtitles in the lower right corner, congratulating Shenlan and Shuidi Chenxing for winning the championship of the first Apocalypse Professional League. They will be forever engraved in the history of the "Apocalypse" game.
"That's awesome!"
Shuidi Chenxing repeatedly listened to this CG more than ten times, especially his own name, and then entered the game.
Before logging off yesterday, he deliberately set his position in front of Wayne Stewell's shop. A journey of a hundred miles begins with a single step. The camp mission will be over soon, and he is determined to get the first place in the hero who opens the door.
He quickly glanced around. Wayne Stewell had not arrived yet, but several of his competitors were there, including Haicheng, Alex, and Brother Tangshan. Fortunately, they probably didn't bring as much materials as he did, and he was already far ahead in points.
It was not until 8:20 in the morning that Zhou Ning arrived at the scene with boxes filled with several carriages. After the end of the day yesterday, after statistics, his net profit far exceeded the previously expected 15 Vikta, reaching 18. With a net profit of 18 Vikta in one day, Zhou Ning felt like he was dreaming and did not sleep well the whole day yesterday.
And what was amazing yesterday wasn't just the income. The god-level training method also triggered the effect of breaking the limiter for the first time, resulting in a double improvement, adding 4 points of strength and 4 points of agility, which was outrageous.
After the 8% discount was cancelled, the queue on Kelly's side was not long today, but on my side, because the camp activity entered its last day, there were crowds of people around.
Currently, the top three in the camp activities are still Shuidi Shenxing, Haicheng and Alex. If this ranking remains unchanged by 10 o'clock, they will be the opening heroes this time.
Zhou Ning had already prepared the rewards for these three people. In addition to 20 Poké Balls for the first place, 15 for the second place, and 10 for the third place, the first place winner would receive his discarded weapon, the Revolver Nemesis. The second and third place winners would each receive a lightsaber he crafted himself. Of course, these were epic rewards awarded after completing a series of door-opening missions.
Zhou Ning felt that he really cared too much about the players. Not only did he give them generous rewards, but he also fully considered their gaming experience. Things that were too easy to obtain were meaningless.
When the exchange officially started, Zhou Ning found that he had been strengthened by the players. Except for the first place of the underwater sinking star, the contribution values of the top five were almost the same, making the faction activities in the last hour and a half a Shura field.
Tangshan and Alex both had guild support behind them. Having missed out on the championship this time, they would have to invest even more in the future. Zhou Ning watched with a slightly numb expression as the top five players' contribution values raced against each other, climbing ever higher, entering a bloody battle. Shuidi Shenxing's contribution value even reached seven figures, meaning he had already invested millions in Victar. Zhou Ning felt truly guilty.
Finally, Haicheng heaved a long sigh and gave up the fight for this spot. At the final stage, it was difficult to buy materials even if one had money, and an individual player could not compete with the guild after all.
When the event ended, the boxes Zhou Ning brought were almost cleared out at the same time, and the sales speed was astonishing.
The final opening heroes were chosen: Shuidi Shenxing, Alex, and Tangshan Big Brother, in order of ranking. These three would become his key training targets for the time being. The only regret was that among the three, there were two warriors and only one roaming gunner.
