"Nani?" Li Huailin was slightly stunned. The red system announcement had suddenly appeared. This was something he had not expected. He looked at Sword Saint Dashe, who was in front of him. As there was only one minute left before he was forced to log off, there was not enough time for him to learn his skills. Therefore, Li Huailin took the opportunity to quickly mark the other party, in case he disappeared again when he logged on.
System Notification: The server will be shut down in 30 seconds.
Time was tight, but Li Huailin had already done what he needed to do. He pulled Sword Saint Dashe over and gave him two more punches. Then, the downtime was up. Li Huailin's vision turned black, and he returned to reality in the next second.
He had just logged off when he received a call. Li Huailin looked at the caller ID. It was Su Ruoyan.
"You've completed the mission?" Su Ruoyan asked. She naturally knew what Li Huailin was doing now. Li Huailin had already told her about it when they were rushing over yesterday.
"Yes, it was slightly faster than expected. Moreover, I didn't expect to enter the system maintenance right after I completed it. Come to think of it, I guess I'm really the first person to complete the second job transition," Li Huailin said.
"Then rest early and have a good sleep," Su Ruoyan said. "I won't disturb you."
"I'm really a little sleepy. Okay, I'm going to rest soon," Li Huailin said.
The two of them chatted for a while before Li Huailin got ready to sleep. He turned off the phone and Li Huailin lay down on the bed. Then, he slept for more than ten hours.
When he woke up, Li Huailin realized that it was already 11 o 'clock at night. Although the time had been reversed, he had slept enough. Thinking about the previous notification that the maintenance would last for 24 hours, and the maintenance would start at around 10 o 'clock in the morning. Therefore, the server should not be open yet. Li Huailin was not in a hurry. Taking advantage of the time, Li Huailin cleaned up the room and then went to the convenience store to buy some things. When he was almost done, it was already late at night. He had nothing to do and couldn't sleep, so Li Huailin opened the official website to see what the content of the upgrade was.
Li Huailin opened the official website, and sure enough, the most eye-catching logo on the homepage was the upgrade announcement. Li Huailin looked at the announcement, and the content of the upgrade had already been posted. However, it had just been posted at 9 PM, which wasn't too long ago. According to the situation written on the announcement, the server would be reopened at 9 AM tomorrow after the maintenance was completed. As for the damages caused during the maintenance period, the officials also used the phrase "apologize". The underlying meaning was that they would just apologize and be done with it. Compensation was out of the question.
Li Huailin did not care about this and directly looked at the content of the update. This was the more important thing. In the end, the first update was information about the second job advancement.
The process of the second job advancement for most professions was roughly like this. First of all, a player had to reach Level 60 and had completed their first job advancement. Then, they had to go to the profession zone in the main city to accept the trial mission for the second job advancement. The missions were usually solo missions. There were also a few types of missions, but the difficulty was generally the same. Usually, they were of A or B Rank Normal difficulty. If the player was unable to complete the second job advancement mission, they would be stuck at Level 60 and would not be able to gain any more experience.
As for the various Hidden Professions, they could directly go to the Hidden Profession Mentor to receive the mission. The difficulty of the mission varied greatly. It could range from C Rank to S Rank. Moreover, the difficulty of the mission was of a Hidden Profession. If a player was originally a Normal Profession and wanted to change to the second job advancement of a Hidden Profession, it was impossible. They had to first change to a Level 1 Hidden Profession and return to Level 30. Then, they had to train until they reached Level 60 again before they could continue the second job advancement.
The second update of the game was the Mentoring System. This was content that could help the players who were still at a low level to level up slightly faster. The general situation was that a player who had completed their second job advancement could form a mentoring relationship with up to ten other players who had yet to complete their first job advancement. When they formed a party to train, each apprentice in the party would receive a 10% bonus experience. This way, if there were five people in a party, they would receive a maximum of 40% bonus experience. However, this bonus could only be enjoyed by apprentices. The benefits of the mentoring system were like this. When an apprentice reached Level 30 and successfully completed their first job advancement, the mentoring relationship between the two parties would automatically be dissolved. This way, even if the player had already nurtured an apprentice, the player would receive some Guild Contribution Points for each apprentice they nurtured. The amount of Guild Contribution Points was determined by the level of the apprentice you nurtured. In other words, bringing an apprentice from Level 1 to Level 30 would give you the most Guild Contribution Points. However, bringing an apprentice from Level 29 to Level 30 would not give much.
The use of Guild Contribution Points was to use it as currency to purchase items from a new NPC that had been added by the class mentors. The items that could be purchased were mostly potions, scrolls, and some equipment and skill books for that particular class. In short, for those who were not rich but had the time to grind levels, it was a good benefit.
After the introduction of the Mentoring System, there was another huge update, and that was the content related to guilds. In this update, the Guild Territory System that was previously promised by the game developers finally made its debut.
Li Huailin paid a little attention to the situation of the Guild Territory System. First, a guild needed to choose a location to build a territory. All applications for territory were made to the local lord of the territory. For example, if a guild chose a Count's territory, they would have to apply to the Count. If it was a territory directly under the jurisdiction of the Empire, they would have to apply to the main city's land department.
After choosing the territory, the guild would naturally need to build the territory. All the construction materials and hired workers had to be paid for by the guild. If the guild already had the materials, architects, and engineers, they could speed up the construction of the territory.
Once the territory was built, it was basically the equivalent of a small fortress on the map. Players could add any buildings that they needed, such as a Smithy, a Shop, and so on. After the territory was upgraded, they could even add Auction Houses, banks, and so on. Moreover, the territory could even attract other NPCs to live in it, including NPCs with special abilities. In the end, it was even possible to develop the territory into a city.
Of course, this wasn't without risks. The territory also had the risk of being robbed or destroyed. First, after obtaining the consent of the local lord, other guilds could initiate a Guild War to snatch the territory. If the other guild won, everything in the territory would belong to the victor, and the territory would automatically be transferred to the victor's name.
If the local lord didn't agree, or if the target of the war wasn't the guild, the territory couldn't be occupied. If the attacker won, the territory would be destroyed, but the attacker wouldn't receive any benefits.
However, although the risk seemed high, in fact, the official website also mentioned that the defensive side had a huge advantage. Unless the defensive side had a huge advantage, generally, the defensive side would win. If the attack failed, the probability of the lord agreeing to the next raid would also decrease.
After reading all the information about Guild Wars, Li Huailin was slightly stunned. This was because he discovered a problem. That was … Wasn't he just a lord? What should he do? Did guilds have to seek his permission to apply for territory or Guild Wars?
Suddenly, Li Huailin felt that this was a more interesting place. If it was a guild territory, he could go online and ask Red Moon to build one in his territory. It might be useful. Of course, he could ask Su Ruoyan about the specifics later. She should know better than him in this area.
That was the main content of the update. There was a long list of small changes below. However, after looking at it, Li Huailin saw that it wasn't too big of a change. Mages' XX skills had increased their attack power, Priests' XX skills had their cooldown reduced, Thieves' XX skills had their damage reduced, etc. Of course, there were also some items that increased or decreased the effects, etc., but the effect wasn't too big.
After looking at the content of the update, Li Huailin also casually browsed the forum. He didn't expect the forum to be so lively. It was mainly because he couldn't log into the game at this time. Moreover, everyone was discussing the update, so they forgot to sleep.
Looking at the content of the discussion, naturally, most of it was related to the guild territory. After all, this system was considered the biggest update this time. However, while discussing this, Li Huailin actually discovered that more than half of the people were talking about him.
"Brother Awesome, we're losing money. Our party has reached the last Boss in the group dungeon. The Boss only has 3% HP left. F * ck, we definitely won't be able to go online. This is too f * cking bad."
"F * ck, I suddenly went offline halfway through watching an S-rank professional match. What's there to play? I bought a ticket. Brother Awesome, you're still looking for trouble when you're banned."
"F * ck, Brother Awesome is too amazing. Not only is he the first to reach level 60, he even completed his class change quest. I seem to remember that Brother Awesome has a hidden class. Could it be that he randomly received a C-rank class change quest?"
"Brother Awesome, I'm pregnant. Please marry me quickly. Phone number XXX-XXXXX."
Looking at these posts, Li Huailin didn't know whether to laugh or cry. As he looked at these posts, he then browsed the forum again. In the end, as he was refreshing the posts, a pinned post suddenly appeared.
"Official Truce Agreement between Divine Alliance and Recast Alliance."
Li Huailin quickly opened it and found that this post was officially published by Divine Alliance. The content of the post was that the two alliances had officially reached a truce agreement and were preparing to retreat from the previous land deed refresh point.
About three minutes later, the official post by Rebirth Guild also published. The content was almost the same as the previous post by Divine Alliance.
"Looks like they can't wait to establish their territory." Li Huailin understood the intentions of both sides. It seemed like both sides wanted to establish their first guild territory.
