As soon as he sat in the gaming cabin, Li Huailin pressed the power button. After waiting for a long time, Li Huailin didn't enter the game. After waiting for a while, a notification popped up, indicating that the server had failed to connect and asking if he should try again.
"Huh? Server failed? "Li Huailin was stunned. What's going on? Was there a problem with his equipment, or was there a problem with his account? He immediately turned on his personal computer to check the official website. He let out a sigh of relief because the official website showed that there was indeed a server maintenance. The reason was … a game version upgrade.
"Game version upgrade?" Li Huailin was slightly surprised. He didn't expect the upgrade to happen so suddenly while he was away. As usual, there was no explanation on the official website because they didn't know what was going on. Li Huailin immediately logged into the game forum to see what was going on.
The game forum was indeed very lively when he wasn't playing the game. Li Huailin browsed through the posts and roughly understood what was going on. As it turned out, a system maintenance upgrade happened not long after he went offline. According to the screenshot of the forum, there was a system announcement before the maintenance. This was what the announcement said.
System Announcement: Player "Bouncing Peanut" has obtained the first piece of unappraised equipment. Rewards: 100000 EXP, 200 gold coins, and will be recorded in the Glorious Annals of China.
System Announcement: The equipment confirmation system will be activated. The server will enter a maintenance phase in 10 minutes. The estimated duration of the maintenance is 24 hours. All players are advised to go offline immediately to avoid unnecessary losses.
"So that's the case." Li Huailin immediately understood what was going on. It just so happened that the person who triggered the upgrade was Bouncing Peanut. The trigger was related to unappraised equipment. Speaking of unappraised equipment, Li Huailin immediately thought of the equipment that Zhang Youdong had given them.
Perhaps after Bouncing Peanut returned to his own server, he tried to figure out whether the equipment could be used or not. Then, for some unknown reason, this upgrade event was triggered. Speaking of which, was this upgrade event really prepared beforehand, or was it as Zhang Youdong said, that the server had its own evolution function, and the appearance of this unknown equipment would automatically upgrade the system to adapt to it?
Li Huailin couldn't say for sure, but he didn't know what was going on at the moment. He didn't know what was going on either. The maintenance period was 24 hours. Looking at the system announcement, it was 3 o 'clock in the afternoon. In other words, the server would only be reopened tomorrow afternoon. If there was anything else, he could only wait until tomorrow.
Li Huailin took a look at his chat room. Sure enough, as soon as he entered, he saw a few messages, and the one who had spoken was Peanut. The time was in the afternoon, which was after the server had shut down. Peanut briefly explained the situation. After returning to his own server, he immediately checked the equipment. However, the equipment's attributes weren't displayed. Instead, there was a notification saying "Unknown". Although it was unknown, he wasn't willing to give up. So, he looked for a few Blacksmith NPCs to ask what was going on. The Blacksmith NPC recommended him to look for someone who knew about equipment. In the end, before he could even start looking, a system announcement appeared, and the server immediately shut down.
Apart from Peanut, Marinka and Jade Emperor of Summoning also left messages. The two of them probably saw Peanut's name after the server shut down, and went offline to ask what was going on. The three of them also chatted for a while, and estimated the situation of the system upgrade. However, they were all gone by now.
Li Huailin also took a look. After Firehead logged into the chat room, he also added Night Flight and Separated from the Heavens. Li Huailin also gave them permissions so that they could also add people. In any case, no matter how many people joined, Li Huailin didn't mind. He couldn't save the world by himself, so he would drag as many people as he could.
Since he couldn't log into the game, there was nothing for Li Huailin to do. However, he couldn't sleep, so after some thought, Li Huailin sent a message to Su Ruoyan to see if she was asleep. If she wasn't, she could at least chat with him.
Fortunately, Su Ruoyan wasn't asleep either. To be precise, she was still working. This was because she had just taken over 40% of the Yuan Group's shares, and was now conducting a large-scale asset survey. The new director of the Yuan Group was, of course, Su Ruoyan herself. This was originally Li Huailin's property, and it was transferred to Su Ruoyan directly. Of course, it had nothing to do with her father. So now, Su Ruoyan suddenly became Hua Xia's tycoon. Of course, after being promoted to director, she had more things to do, so she was busy every day, especially recently.
"Are you free tomorrow? Come with me to try on the dress. There are some things that I need you to confirm for the ceremony, "Su Ruoyan asked.
"Tomorrow, I should be free tomorrow." Li Huailin thought about it. The server would only be open tomorrow afternoon, so there shouldn't be anything to do. "But after tomorrow, I'll be busy. I don't know when I'll be done."
"Oh? What's up? Did something happen in the game? Do you need my help? "Su Ruoyan asked immediately.
"Oh, it's not a big deal. It's just saving the world," Li Huailin said calmly.
"Saving the world?" Su Ruoyan was slightly taken aback, but she immediately laughed. "That's really a big deal."
Of course, what Su Ruoyan thought of saving the world was different from what Li Huailin said. She just thought that there was a big quest in the game. "Anyway, do you need my help? Although I'm a little busy recently."
"No need. You should take care of our family's property," Li Huailin said. "Let me do something like saving the world."
The two chatted for a while. Then, Li Huailin looked at the time. It was already two in the morning. Time really passed quickly when talking on the phone. On the other side, Su Ruoyan was about to rest. Li Huailin said goodnight and went to bed. Soon, it was the next day. Li Huailin woke up a little later. After washing up, he immediately looked at the official website. By this time, he should already know the content of the update.
As expected, the official website had also updated the content. This update was mainly about the appraisal aspect. In the past, there was no unappraised equipment in the game Heart of Glory. However, after this update, a large number of unappraised equipment would be added. Generally, equipment above Gold quality that was dropped from killing monsters were basically unappraised.
Since there were unappraised equipment, of course, there were ways to appraise it. First, there would be specialized appraisal shops in each city. Usually, they would be next to the city's Auction House or directly in the Auction House. Of course, these shops were opened by NPCs. Of course, there would be a fee for the appraisal. The appraisal fee would be based on the level of the equipment.
This was criticized by a lot of players. They said that the system had begun to think of a way to withdraw funds. Wasn't this clearly cheating the players? Peanuts, who triggered the system upgrade, was directly scolded by the players.
The second update was the addition of a new sub-profession, which was Appraiser. Players could go to those appraisal shops to learn appraisal skills. Then, they could slowly improve their appraisal level. Once they became a Master Appraiser, they wouldn't have to spend money to appraise equipment.
This was originally a good thing. It was also a way for the players to make money. However, the problem was that the previous equipment didn't need to be appraised. Now that they suddenly had to be appraised, the players were naturally unhappy.
In addition, there were some new items, such as appraisal scrolls. Apothecaries could also make appraisal potions. These potions could be used to appraise the equipment. This was more convenient than having to bring the equipment back to the city to be appraised. Of course, this was also a new way for the Alchemists to make money. They were very happy, but the players were still unhappy.
The only good news was that the players' equipment now wouldn't become unappraised. It would only be unappraised equipment that they obtained in the future. Although they were somewhat displeased, most of the players only grumbled a little and accepted the new setting.
Apart from this, there wasn't much new content. Basically, there were some minor adjustments to skills, equipment, talents, and so on. Although there were a lot of changes, they weren't very important. So, not many people looked at them carefully.
Li Huailin took a quick look and got a general idea. He then prepared to leave. He still had an appointment with Su Ruoyan today. As Li Huailin didn't have a car, this time, Su Ruoyan came to pick Li Huailin up. The two spent the morning shopping. They mainly went to a few wedding dress shops and took a few photos.
They got along very well. However, they were unhappy that the phone calls here were always looking for trouble. It wasn't just Li Huailin's phone calls. Su Ruoyan had more phone calls than Li Huailin. Of course, she was mainly dealing with business. Now that Su Ruoyan was such a big figure, there were many people looking for her. It wasn't easy for her to have a day off.
In the end, the two of them just hung up. They finally had lunch and walked for a while. In the afternoon, Li Huailin finally returned home. He looked at the time. The server was almost finished. Li Huailin turned on his phone, and immediately, a lot of text messages were sent. They were all messages from people contacting him. Li Huailin saw that Night Flight, Liu Heyun, and Fu Weiwei were all looking for him. Fu Weiwei especially looked for him several times, so Li Huailin immediately called back.
