Chapter 150: Content of the System Update

The World Alliance suddenly wanted to add a “Oracle Bone” defense shield to all the Energy Zones. Although it was a private company’s technology, it was so huge that it was obviously not just a matter of business.

Moreover, such an action was not significant in normal times.

Unless there was really a crisis in this world, there was no need to add protective shields.

Therefore, Lorne had every reason to believe that the World Alliance was definitely preparing for the impending crisis.

“If the Divine Realm is the source of the crisis, why is the World Alliance allowing it to run?”

Lorne was confused.

When the Divine Realm was first developed, the World Alliance did not supervise any players, as if they did not know the harm of ‘virtual reality’.

But strangely, at this moment, they began to build protective shields.

This was clearly a contradictory result.

“Is the World Alliance trying to make up for their mistakes?”

Another possibility occurred to Lorne.

That was, the World Alliance had unintentionally discovered the Virtual Technology and triggered it. However, they later discovered the uncontrollable nature of the materialization, so they made up for it and began to build a protective shield for the Energy Zones.

This was a high possibility.

However, this was only a guess.

Before understanding the true reason, all of this was just his assumption.

For a civilian like Lorne, the best way to deal with it was to enter a higher-level Energy Zone. Although it could not guarantee absolute safety here, it could allow one to die later than others in the lower-level Energy Zone.

“It shouldn’t be a problem in the near future. The materialization should be very limited at this stage.”

Lorne’s materialization was built on the premise of completing an epic main storyline mission. According to the global announcement, his materialization was likely the only event currently.

Moreover, there was no special information regarding virtual reality on the Internet.

This made Lorne feel a little more at ease.

As the number one player, he naturally hoped that the materialization time could be delayed for a period of time.

With this period of time, he could strengthen his strength to a sufficiently high level.

It was best to materialize Aisha in this world. Only then would he feel truly safe.

…

At dawn, the update maintenance of the Divine Realm ended.

Without any hesitation, Lorne logged into the game.

As soon as he went online, he received a private message from Super Rich.

This rich tycoon had been addicted to games recently. He spent as much time playing as young people.

Lorne casually replied and also sent a message to Twinkle Rose.

It was the last day of the event. The big-busted sister only had one batch of potions, and they would probably be sold out before dawn.

However, the big-busted sister did not give the gold coins to Lorne directly.

It seemed that recently, she had found a special channel. Someone was buying gold coins wantonly, and she planned to sell all the gold coins in her hand and transfer them to Lorne.

Of course, this beautiful guild leader did not work for nothing.

Because she was the one who had found the channel, she naturally had to obtain some dividends.

For the sake of long-term cooperation, Lorne gave her a 5% commission.

After dealing with this matter, he closed the chat panel.

Lorne looked around.

This was the place where he had been forced to go offline. The huge building in front of him was actually Cold Desolate Dragon City.

However, he was not in a hurry to enter.

Before exploring Dragon City, he had something to deal with.

That was to check the contents of the game update.

This update lasted for 24 hours. There would definitely be many new functions.

Lorne checked the entire update and concluded two important pieces of information.

First, the classification of monsters and areas.

Due to the increase in the level of the players, the low-level monsters near the main city were strengthened. The range of the low-level monsters was reduced, and in contrast, the area of the high-level monsters was expanded.

In addition, in order to enrich the terrain of the world, there was an additional fog region in the original topographic map of the various cities.

The resources in the fog region were even richer, but the monsters’ levels were not divided accurately.

It meant that there was no specific classification like Level 20-30 there.

When players entered the area to explore, they would encounter monsters of any level, just like how Lorne had entered the Lake of Death.

Secondly, the subclass system officially opened.

The important content of this update should be the secondary subclass.

In the previous game, there were only two subclasses for players. One was mining and the other was picking herbs.

As for the other subclasses, they were almost impossible to find.

However, now, all the subclasses had appeared. If the players wanted to learn, they only needed to go to the main city and find the corresponding subclass mentor.

Currently, the subclasses included: Harvesting, mining, logging, dissecting, planting, fishing, cooking, building, forging, refining, tailoring, scroll making, carving, transporting, brewing, and so on.

There were dozens of subclasses, much more than combat classes.

With so many choices, various resource-type guilds would appear in the game.

Such guilds were like real companies.

An alchemy guild was equivalent to a medical pharmaceutical company.

A mining guild was equivalent to a metal mining company.

A forging-type guild was equivalent to a manufacturing company.

All these guilds that specialized in secondary occupations specifically entered the game to plunder money.

Of course, they also provided jobs.

Those ordinary players had a place to earn money.

Thinking of this, Lorne could not help but think of the coordinates of the minerals he had recorded.

If one day, he mined all those mineral veins, he would probably gain another billion dollars.

“If only I could build a territory here.”

Lorne looked into the future, then shook his head and smiled.

Now that there were no clues in the territory system, these thoughts were too forward.

Closing the updated content panel, Lorne opened the mission panel.

It showed that there was still a day left.

This was the time period when the game stopped yesterday.

Fortunately, that was the case. Otherwise, the mission entrusted to him by the Dragon of Light would have failed.

“It’s time to go in and check on the situation.”

Lorne looked at the Cold Desolate Dragon City. This ancient city that was almost one with the mountain range had remained intact despite having been weathered for tens of millions of years. As the city fortress where the dragon had once been stationed, its interior was filled with infinite possibilities.

He hoped to obtain a big surprise inside.

Lorne took a deep breath and walked into the towering, ancient city.
