Li Huailin carefully looked at the contents of the update. Of course, there were some adjustments first. These adjustments were very subtle, and they were basically adjustments to skills and classes. Li Huailin looked at most of the adjustments that were very unfriendly to him. For example, the most important adjustment was the increase in the level cap of skills.
That's right, the original level cap of skills was 10. Although it was very difficult to train, there were some godly players who only used one skill for a long time and really reached level 10. After this adjustment, the skill limit was increased to 15, and the previous skills from level 1 to 10 required less experience to level up. In other words, it was easier to level up a skill to level up to 10. Of course, the following 11 to 15 levels were still very difficult. This adjustment was very good for all classes, and there was nothing much to say about it. However, it was very bad for Li Huailin, because Li Huailin could not level up his skills at all.
The following adjustments were probably to balance the classes. Because there were too few Warlocks and Druids, the skills of these classes were increased. Relatively speaking, the skills of Warriors and Mages were weakened. For example, the cooldown of Warriors' Heroic Strike was extended by 2 seconds, and the mana consumption of Mages' Fireball and Frostbolt was increased. Although it was not a big change, it was still very unpleasant for Warriors and Mages.
Of course, these were only small adjustments. The most important update was at the end. The version of this update was version 2.0. Li Huailin looked at this version, and the main content was … cross-server.
That's right, after looking at the later parts of the update, it basically revolved around the word "cross-server". Of course, this was something that the players had long thought of, but they did not expect it to come so soon. Cross-server battlefields were a classic setting that had existed since a long time ago in online games. Of course, Heart of Glory continued this setting, and the new content this time included this cross-server battlefield.
Cross-server battlefields could be said to be a new type of Instance Dungeon. The general idea was that players from different servers would be teleported to the same map to compete, and the final score would be calculated. Of course, there would also be rewards. However, when Li Huailin looked at the cross-server battlefield in Heart of Glory, it seemed to be a little different.
According to the settings in Heart of Glory, all the servers were actually in the same world, but each server was in a different continent. Because there was no way to cross continents in the previous versions, everyone was considered to be separated.
The main storyline of this update was the appearance of a faction called Alaven's Explorer. This faction possessed a magic that allowed long-distance teleportation. The so-called long-distance teleportation meant that they could cross continents, which meant that they could cross servers. In the storyline, Elaven's Explorer faction found a new continent, and this new continent was actually a cross-server battlefield.
This new continent was divided into many parts, and each part was considered a small battlefield. And Elaven's Explorer would teleport players to that continent to seize or defend these small battlefields. This way, it was considered a cross-server battle, because people from other servers would also come back to attack.
Of course, there were benefits to occupying these small battlefields, and it was a benefit to the entire server. Yes, the more places that were occupied, the more benefits the entire server could obtain. However, the official website did not explain the specific benefits. It was just for the players to go into the game and see for themselves. Anyway, this way, everyone would definitely be fighting everywhere, and of course, it would be very fun.
After the update, Elaven's Explorer faction would appear in all the main cities. Of course, it was actually just an additional place to enter the cross-server battlefield. However, what was interesting was that the official website actually said that after certain conditions were met, Elaven's Explorer might be allowed to teleport players to other continents. Did this mean that players could switch servers? However, this was only mentioned briefly, and there was no detailed explanation.
Of course, there were also some relatively new things surrounding the cross-server battle, such as cross-server teleportation. Yes, it was to send one's own items to players from other servers. Of course, this was also a service provided by Elaven's Explorer faction, and it could also be considered a cross-server communication method. However … the processing fees were extremely expensive. According to Elaven's Explorer, the cost was very high. In other words, it seemed that it was impossible to conduct cross-server transactions at a low price. However, if it was high-priced items, it might be possible.
These were the biggest updates of this update. As for the other things, Li Huailin looked through them. The most important one was probably the adjustment to the NPCs. Yes, the strength of the NPCs had increased. However, the main increase was in the strength of the NPC soldiers. It was probably because the players' levels had soared, so if the NPC soldiers in the city could not defeat the players, it would be troublesome. It would definitely be a mess. Hence, the levels of the soldiers had also been adjusted. However, this adjustment seemed a little high. The official website said that the soldiers in the city were Level 80 and above. Wasn't this a joke? Among all the players, Li Huailin should be the highest level. He was currently Level 79. The majority of the players were still between Level 60 to Level 65. This Level 80 NPC was a little too crazy.
After thinking about it, Li Huailin felt that this might be the result of him forcefully upgrading the game version. This version might have only been released when the average level of the players had increased to a certain level, around Level 80. However, now that his Main Quest had pushed the upgrade forward, it caused the majority of the players' levels to not be able to keep up. Hence, this situation occurred.
However, this was not a big deal to Li Huailin. It was just that the NPCs' levels had increased. It was not like they would attack him, so it had nothing to do with him.
After reading all the updates, Li Huailin pondered for a moment. Of course, he was thinking about the Final Quest. This Final Quest could only be triggered when the game was upgraded to Version 2.0. The biggest upgrade in Version 2.0 was cross-server combat. This was a simple deduction. This Final Quest should also be a cross-server quest. It was very likely that all players would have to participate in it.
Li Huailin was not very interested in cross-server battles. However, this Final Quest was very interesting to Li Huailin. Unfortunately, he still had to wait for two more days. It would be good if he could learn more about it in advance.
There was still half a day before he left the server. Li Huailin browsed the forum. As most players did not know about the Final Quest, the system messages were only displayed on Li Huailin's side. Hence, everyone was still discussing the new version. Of course, everyone could tell that the main thing in this version was cross-server battles. Hence, from now on, there were already people asking to form parties to participate in the cross-server battles.
The main force of the cross-server battles were, of course, the guilds. Now, those who were asking to form parties were basically solo players or people who were not part of the guild's main force. Hence, they were also forming random parties. Perhaps it was because Hua Xia's team performed well in the Nations Cup that the number of people in the forum was a little too much. Basically, there were posts like "Let's go kill the little Japan" and "Requesting to form a party to kill the little Japan". By the way, Japan belonged to the East Asia server. Hence, it was probably the same as Korea and Southeast Asia. Hence, other than Japan, the second party to be implicated was the Koreans.
Of course, Li Huailin also saw a lot of posts about himself. Due to his performance in the Nations Cup, Li Huailin was basically considered a member of the "anti-Japanese hero". Hence, a large number of players were requesting to form a party with Li Huailin. As Li Huailin had previously applied for official verification, the private messages on this account were now full. Li Huailin had never looked at it and was too lazy to look at it. In fact, he might not even have the time to participate in cross-server battles. He might just go and take a look. The main thing was to deal with the Final Quest. Hence, Li Huailin did not post anything and just watched the fun.
After killing time, it was finally the afternoon. On the forum, someone was shouting, "The server is open. Everyone, hurry up!" Seeing this, Li Huailin finally had something to do. After putting on the helmet, Li Huailin immediately entered the game.
With a flash of white light, Li Huailin appeared in a snowy field. He looked around and saw that it was still the dilapidated house from yesterday. However, there was no one around. He did not know where Anthony and the others were, but he guessed that they had gone back.
As usual, Li Huailin took out a bottle of Health Potion from his inventory and drank it. Looking at the debuff that popped up, it was still deducting health. It seemed that his account was still bugged. Of course, Li Huailin was prepared. He had already upgraded the game several times, but this bug had never been fixed. It seemed that it was impossible to change his account back.
Next, of course, was to read the system notifications that he had not finished reading yesterday. As time was really tight yesterday, Li Huailin only read half of the system notifications. In fact, Li Huailin did not even know what kind of heirloom he had obtained. Fortunately, the system notifications were still there. Li Huailin scrolled up and saw it.

"Huh? This thing … "Li Huailin facepalmed. He felt a headache coming on.
