Chapter 17 The first version update!
A deep and dark mine.
Two skeleton soldiers carrying mining picks were standing in front of a damn handsome statue, stroking their jawbones and making comments.
"Has this statue... changed?"
[Pig-Headed Knight] I still vaguely remember that when I was online last night, the statue didn't seem to look like this?
The [Tauren Warrior] next to him shook his head.
"I didn't even notice this thing... What's the use of this statue?"
"I don't know, no matter, it's ugly! Smash it!" The pig-headed knight would never admit it, he was jealous.
However, just when he was about to pick up the mining pick, a green light hit his head, and his soul was ejected directly from the skeleton's body.
"Holy shit?!"
Looking at the skeleton lying on the ground in bewilderment, the [Pig-Headed Knight] floating in the air as a soul was shocked and said.
"How come I'm a corpse?!"
Hitchhich, who had also just come online, walked next to him, stared at him carefully for a while, and then looked at the statue in front of him.
"I guess... I touched something that shouldn't be touched."
Although he was curious about what was weird about the statue, he had learned from the past and did not dare to move any closer.
The pig-headed knight was so anxious that he almost cried.
"Holy shit, there's no sign on it...Wait, how do I get back into my body?!"
Ichichiki: "Open the operation interface and take a look, see if there's anything unusual in the status bar?"
Each player can choose to hide or open the operation interface.
Through the operation interface, you can confirm the attribute panel, current status and health bar, and also see the task log and so on.
Sure enough.
The pig-headed man quickly discovered an anomaly in the status bar. He saw a line of small words written on the upper right side of the demon icon.
【The Demon King's excommunication: 59 minutes and 21 seconds. 】
"Holy shit... the soul has been separated for an hour?! You still have to stay online?!"
h A sign... Since you have stepped on the thunder, you should ob it first."
"Damn it!"
In the soul state, the player cannot move too far away from the core of the Demon King's Territory and can only move nearby.
Looking at the pitiful pig-headed man, all the idiots laughed heartlessly.
However, thanks to this, all players have formed a consensus in their hearts -
The statue of the Demon King seems untouchable.
Standing not far away and watching the actions of the players, especially the guy named Yiye Zhiqiu, Luo Yan suddenly spoke to the air beside him.
"Yuyou, that guy is your trumpet?"
Although there is no mirror here, Luo Yan discovered not long ago that even if he cannot see it, it does not hinder the communication between the two.
Yoyou replied dumbfounded.
"What are you talking about, Lord Demon King, how is this possible?"
"Well, I just think he is a bit too smart...don't worry."
Anyone who attacks the core of the Demon King's Territory will be kicked out of the character for one hour.
The second time, it was a deliberate attempt to cause trouble and start immediately around the clock.
Luo Yan originally planned to find a sign and put it up nearby later to remind everyone not to attack the resurrection point, but he didn't expect the unlucky little guy to show up so quickly, which was also beyond his expectation.
It seems that the warning sign is not enough, we should hide this hatred statue as soon as possible.
This is human territory after all, and God knows when adventurers will come.
Looking at the handsome and upright figure, Luo Yan looked at it carefully for a long time, and finally couldn't help but sigh.
"Yuyou...you have caused me great harm."
Hence seemed to feel a little embarrassed, and Yuyou comforted her in a low voice with a guilty conscience.
"It's okay, Lord Demon King! Look... isn't this statue quite handsome!"
"It's not a question of whether he's handsome or not... I'm in big trouble."
Luo Yan shook his head and looked at the dome of the mine, not wanting to speak.
First of all, he cannot gain the faith of His Majesty the Demon God.
Every human being knows that the name of the demon god is Bayali, and they also know what he looks like.
As for Luo Yan...
What is that thing?
The other one is the attitude on the other side of hell, and this is what Luo Yan is most worried about at the moment.
Perhaps as Yuyou said, the devil cannot sense such a distant territory, but after the situation here stabilizes, it is inevitable that hell will send people over to take a look.
If they discover that they have replaced the demon statue with themselves without authorization...
He simply couldn’t imagine that scene.
"You have to go to Thunder City to find a craftsman who can make statues."
Having said that, can you really find a craftsman willing to make a statue of the devil in the Free City that believes in Saint Sith?
How about catching one...
"Master Demon King, it's okay not to worry about that kind of thing for now. Even if the people from hell want to come over, it will take some time, right?" Worried that Luo Yan has forgotten the business, Youyou encouraged him in a low voice, "How about we hurry up and get down to business."
"Got it."
Knowing what this guy was implying, Luo Yan, who was standing in the mine, looked around and saw many skeletons standing motionless by the wall, obviously not online.
As one of the best beta testers, these guys are so lazy.
This is not possible!
"Yuyou, please go to the official website to publish an official update first... and inform the players about the underworld coins."
Luo Yan suddenly remembered something again and continued.
"By the way, it's not just the currency system, but also the contribution... Contribution points can be obtained by completing tasks, and the contribution points can be used for "soul upgrade" and "job change"."
At present, the soul levels of players are all ordinary, and the upper level limit is only level three, which is equivalent to ordinary people without extraordinary power. Only after upgrading to black iron, the level limit will be unlocked to level 10, then bronze to level 30, stainless steel to level 50...and so on.
It only costs 100 faith points to upgrade a normal-level soul to black iron, which is not much compared to the cost of upgrading from bronze to stainless steel.
If these players can create enough value for themselves, he would not mind upgrading their game experience, such as letting them become high-level demons for a time.
Of course.
Since he is also in short supply of faith points, the exchange ratio between contribution points and faith points is set at 10:1 for the time being.
Whoever collects 1,000 contribution points first will be the first leader to break through the LV3 level limit!
Just roll it up!
Luo Yan, who was not at a loss no matter what, inadvertently raised the corner of his mouth with an evil smile.
He found that he was becoming more and more like a devil.
Seeing that the respected Lord Demon King finally started to do business, Yuyou also became more energetic and replied with great momentum.
"Received!"
At the same time, a line of pinned posts appeared on the official website forum of "Calamity OL".
【A.0.1 version update announcement: New currency system!
Dear players, in order to improve everyone’s gaming experience, this non-stop announcement specially launches the “Netherworld Coin” and “Contribution Value” systems!
As the only currency circulating in the necropolis, Hades Coin can purchase equipment and props from NPC shops or system malls! However, since the mall system is still under development, it will take some time to go online. Please be patient!
In addition, what needs special explanation is the contribution system. Players can obtain contribution points by completing the missions of the Demon King. Accumulating contribution points can increase the soul level, unlock a higher LV upper limit, and reincarnate into other more cool species in the future!
Only with a higher soul level can one control higher level monsters or even demons.
Including but not limited to the succubus you are looking forward to~
Luo Yan took the time to glance at the official website.
He was originally worried that Yunyu wouldn't understand what he meant, but he didn't expect that this guy was unexpectedly capable and even made a cake for himself in the end.
Without any surprise, the animals squatting in the forum filling water and not doing any work instantly became boiling.
"What the hell?!"
"Isn't the development team not sleeping?!"
"The opinions I just mentioned yesterday were updated at dawn!!"
"I understand! As long as you save enough contribution points, you can get rid of your skeleton, right!!"
"See you later, brothers! My liver is progressing, brother!" "Brother! Lend me a chance to use it when you become a succubus..."
"Go away! What else can you do besides being covered in ashes?"
"Fuck! Dog planner, don't bother with updates, just post more accounts!!! (Crazy)"
"It's the end of the day! It's okay if I can't go to work! I gave my boss a day off!!!"
In just one minute, a hundred skeleton soldiers returned to the line!
Before Luo Yan could open his mouth, a frenzied creaking sound surrounded him.
"Lord Demon King! Who shall we kill today?"
"Invasion! I will invade the surface of the earth fiercely!!!"
「我觉得我现在超牛逼！能打十个神选者！！！」
「……」
面对那群魔乱舞的吵闹，罗炎夹起了嗓子，用庄严肃穆的声音说道。
"Quiet! Listen to me!"
Of course, the excited players couldn't be so obedient, but he didn't expect it.
Using the power of authority to block everyone's actions, he continued to speak in a calm tone.
"The Demon King Territory needs development, not just fighting... You can use any method you are good at to contribute your strength to the necropolis!"
"As for the tasks, I have updated them on your task list. You can check it through the task bar of the operation interface..."
After saying that, Luo Yan unlocked the players' permission to move and stood there with his hands behind his hands, indicating that the CG cutscene was over.
Noisy sounds filled the entire mine again, but this time it was not as chaotic as before, but orderly in chaos.
Yiye Zhiqiu quickly opened the taskbar and saw a long list of pop-up windows.
【Daily Task 1: Clear out the spider nest!
· Description: Recovering the fallen maze is imminent!
Reward: Every time you kill a crypt spider and bring back the body, you can redeem 1,000 nether coins and 10 contribution points! 】
【Daily Mission 2: Destroy the Ratman Rebels!
Description: The rat men betrayed Hell! Hiding in every corner of Beifeng Mine! These cowardly things don't deserve to live! Kill them all!
Reward: A Rat Man tail can be exchanged for 100 Hades Coins! (Pay 20 tails on the same day to get 50 contribution points!)]
【Daily Task 3: Mining!
Description: The iron ore and coal mines in Beifeng Mine are the key to rebuilding the Demon King's army!
Reward: One pound of coal or iron ore can be exchanged for 1 hell coin! (Paying 1,000 kilograms of coal on the same day will get you 50 contribution points!)]
[Task 4: Capture the adventurer...]
[Task 5: Exploring unknown landmarks...]
[Task 6: Complete the production equipment order...]
【Mission 7: Collect burrowing spider eggs...】
There are many types of tasks, which can be roughly divided into two types: combat tasks and life tasks.
Compared with yesterday, the tasks released today not only have more specific requirements, but also have corresponding rewards written on them.
Yiye Zhiqiu glanced around.
He was surprised to find that after this "big update", the players around him were obviously more motivated than before.
It seems that even if it is a sandbox game, it must give players some motivation to play.
"I see...the soul level determines the upper limit of lv. I was curious about the use of this thing before."
[Unparalleled Hero], who was touching his jawbone, muttered to himself at the attribute panel, while [Xiao Wan, who was not full], who was not far away, sighed sadly.
"I... I'd better dig coal, rats and spiders are too difficult for me, wait until a more normal monster calls me."
【Knowledge Explosion】 said with a playful smile.
"It's good to dig coal! A pound of coal can be exchanged for one coin, I want to dig up this mine!"
【The old man at the entrance of the village】 couldn't help but rolled his eyes when he heard it, and complained seriously.
"Just brag... with this kind of pickaxe, you can dig three thousand kilograms in a day."
Explosive knowledge: "No, you won't be tired in the game! 3,000 kilograms in 8 hours, 9,000 kilograms in 24 hours!"
Can't afford it: "What the hell? You don't want your life?!"
hip "..."
Luo Yan, who overheard the players chatting, was also shocked.
Good guy.
Can you dig so much in one day? !
Whether the income from mining is too high...
Unlike those players who were chatting and discussing, Yiye Zhiqiu just thought quietly in front of the task bar, acting as a maverick skeleton as always.
At this time, a skeleton soldier carrying a one-handed shield and a short spear walked up to him and said to him.
"It's okay...but why are you looking for me?"
"You don't need to ask, you seem to be more reliable," the voice replied helplessly, and the skeleton stretched out his hand, "Suddenly."
Players can see each other's IDs.
But out of politeness, Yiye Zhiqiu still held his hand and introduced himself like him.
"One leaf knows autumn."
Suddenly grinned.
"Happy cooperation!"
...
The players in "Quality Square" dispersed one after another, leaving only the [Pig-Headed Knight] ghost wailing pitifully in front of the Demon King's statue.
"Gan! Wait for me! I want to go to the mine too! I will be unblocked in 40 minutes!"
Hence watching the departing figures, Luo Yan, who had eaten his fill, showed a happy expression on his face.
It’s really good.
His little players are all so proactive, which saves him a lot of trouble.
Perhaps he can even be lazy and take a vacation in the human world.
Looking at the demon king commanding the skeletons, Chris, Arm, and Greyhound squatted in the stone prison and trembled.
The actions of these skeletons made them increasingly confused.
Seeing several prisoners wake up, Luo Yan opened his suitcase and took out some dry food and threw it to them. After they finished eating, he raised the ring in his hand and sucked it half dry for them one by one as they begged for mercy.
【Faith value +13】
Tsk.
Too little!
Looking at several adventurers with bad faces, Luo Yan felt that he was becoming less and less human.
"By the way, Yoyo, the next update will add the teaming function."
Yoyo: "Okay, Master! Do you want to make arrangements now?"
"There's no need to be in such a hurry."
Facing the invisible Yuyo, Luo Yan continued slowly.
"Updating too fast will make players think that it is easy for us to update. We can't do everything in one go. We have to wait for them to raise problems, and then we solve them..."
Yuyou, who suddenly understood, was sincerely impressed.
"As expected of the Demon King, he is... really unfathomable."
Luo Yan smiled slightly, receiving the heartfelt admiration.
可惜……
左脚踩着右脚没法上天，他的神格再怎么佩服他也没法贡献信仰之力。
