"Rebirth" took at least a day to update every time it was released. Since there were fewer changes this time, the update was completed in less than two hours.
Just as Wuji expected, the system update was aimed at the Blacksmith profession. It seemed like the game company couldn't stand for Chopper forging hundreds of godly equipment in a row.
After this update, it was much harder for Blacksmiths to reach the Grandmaster level.
Apart from that, a Grandmaster Blacksmith's success rate was originally above 60%. With a professional Blacksmith like Chopper, his success rate was basically raised to 100%.
After the update, the success rate for Grandmaster Blacksmiths didn't change. However, there was an additional condition. The success rate for Epic equipment and above was lowered to 10%, which was a full 50% decrease.
This meant that six out of ten equipment could be successfully forged, but only one could be successfully forged.
The probability was just a statistic to the game company, but to the players, it wasn't as simple as dropping from six to one.
Chopper could use his skills to increase the success rate to the maximum. As for the 10% success rate, it was impossible to make up for it with his skills.
Even a professional like Chopper had to act according to the situation …
However, the players in the game didn't object to this update. In fact, most of them were happy to see this.
It was completely reasonable for the players to have such a reaction.
After all, the direct victims this time were only two Grandmaster Blacksmiths. In any case, they weren't the unlucky ones.
Moreover, most of the players in the game couldn't afford Epic equipment. Even if Chopper could mass-produce Epic equipment, it wouldn't be beneficial to the ordinary players.
On the contrary, the Grandmaster Blacksmiths were targeted by the system. The number of Epic equipment produced would be strictly controlled, and the ordinary players wouldn't be left too far behind by the experts of the big guilds.
Therefore, it was human nature to have such a mentality of taking pleasure in others' misfortune.
As the direct victims of this update, the system didn't say anything to Wang Yu and Chopper …
The system was the one who set the rules of the game. Whoever affected the balance of the game would be patched. In the end, the players didn't have the right to explain, and they could only blame themselves for being unlucky.
From this, it could be seen that the strongest weapon in the game was the patch …
Of course, there were two sides to every coin.
The success rate of forging equipment had decreased by a lot. However, the rarer something was, the more valuable it was.
If they continued mass-producing Epic Equipment, the more Epic Equipment they produced, the less valuable they would be. By the time the other Blacksmiths reached the Grandmaster rank, Epic Equipment would be a common sight.
After this update, although the success rate of crafting had decreased, the threshold for becoming a Guru Level Subclass had also increased significantly.
Originally, the advancement of a subclass was already very difficult. Now that the difficulty had been greatly increased, the advancement was even more out of reach.
Therefore, for a long time to come, there would only be two Master-level subclasses in the game: Wang Yu.
What does it mean to monopolize technology? Clearly, this was it!
It wasn't hard to see that while the game company's behavior was unsightly, they still left some benefits for the victims, Wang Yu and Liu Zilang.
After all, as long as there was a monopoly, the monopolist would have the absolute right to speak in this industry.
Wasn't it just a drop in the forging success rate? All he had to do was raise the forging price or equipment's price. Originally, it was 100 Gold Coins per forging, but now, it had risen to 1,000 Gold Coins …
The equipment that was originally worth several hundred thousand yuan had now risen to millions …
The resources in the game were limited. If the big guilds wanted to forge or buy equipment, they would have to desperately compete with the normal players for resources. In the end, the ones who would suffer would definitely not be the big guilds or the monopolists, but the people who would gloat over the misfortune of others.
…
The next day, Wang Yu went online early after taking a look at the update on the official website.
As soon as he went online, Wang Yu received a message from Blood Red War Flag.
"Niu Ge, take care! Be careful in the future. "
“？？？”
Seeing Blood Red War Flag's message, Wang Yu's head was filled with question marks.
What the hell did this mean? Was it a threat? It didn't seem like it … It was more like a warning. Hmm, there was no difference between a threat and a warning.
Fortunately, Wang Yu was a broad-minded person. He rarely argued with others over a sentence, let alone his relationship with Blood Red War Flag.
As for Blood Red War Flag's message, Wang Yu didn't take it to heart at all and closed the message window.
In Quanzhen's encampment, it was still in full swing.
After the system update, the reduction in the success rate of crafting Epic equipment did not deter the guild leaders. Instead, they were more enthusiastic than the day before.
After all, the big guilds basically had Advanced Blacksmiths, so at first, everyone was still hoping to get lucky.
If their own guild's Blacksmiths were promoted to Grandmaster, wouldn't they save on a mining area?
However, after the update, all the Blacksmiths had no hope of being promoted. Thus, the Grandmaster Blacksmiths in the game became Quanzhen's monopoly.
The character of the Quan Zhen Sect was well known in the guild circle. Everyone knew that this group of people would rather die than suffer a loss if they tried to take advantage of others. Raising the price in the face of the wind was a basic operation of theirs.
In order to prevent the Quan Zhen Sect from making even more excessive demands, the guild leaders of these big guilds naturally had to forge the equipment as soon as possible.
Chopper was a guy who had a passion for Blacksmithing engraved in his bones. He started working early in the morning.
After all, he was a highly skilled Blacksmith. Even if the system lowered the success rate to 10%, he could still rely on his skills to increase the success rate as much as possible. Basically, out of every three pieces of equipment, he would successfully forge one. Moreover, every piece of equipment was of the highest quality.
Seeing that Chopper was handling this small matter with ease, Wang Yu simply left Quanzhen's encampment.
"Where are you?"
With a flash of white light, Wang Yu appeared in front of Yu Huicheng and sent a message to Wuji.
"Tavern!"
Very quickly, Wuji replied.
"I'll be there soon."
After Wang Yu closed the message, he left the teleportation point and walked towards the tavern.
During this time of the morning, there weren't many players going to school or work. Other than a few professional players, there weren't many people on the streets. Naturally, the tavern was also empty.
Pushing open the door of the tavern, Wang Yu saw Wuji drinking by himself. This kid's seat was always the most conspicuous in the tavern.
"Drinking so early in the morning? Why are you so addicted to alcohol? "Wang Yu couldn't help but tease. Every time he saw Wuji in the tavern, Wuji would be drinking.
