God's Domain's system update notification echoed in every player's ears, eliciting countless reactions.
"Who's so wicked as to trigger a new expansion pack now?!"
"I'm only halfway through my Dungeon!"
"Crap! I just bought a helmet and logged into God's Domain!"
…
Countless players discussed the system update on the forums. Although many were angry about the system update, even more players were curious about its contents. For a time, everyone made wild guesses.
Meanwhile, in front of the Fallen Ark's shrine …
The sudden system notification left Shifeng and the others at a loss.
They had gone to great lengths to open the Fallen Ark's entrance, yet before they could even enter, a system update had already occurred. What a scam!
Everyone knew that whenever God's Domain received a system update, it meant that God's Domain would begin to improve.
Meanwhile, the more complete God's Domain was, the more troublesome it would become for players.
"Guild Leader, are we going to wait here until we log out?" Shiuse Qiangwei and the others turned to Xiang Shifeng and asked.
The system gave them 20 minutes to log out. It was neither too long nor too short. If they worked hard enough, they might be able to enter the Fallen Ark's inner area.
However, if they waited until the system update to enter the Fallen Ark, who knew if the difficulty would increase? After all, this system update was related to the Fallen Ark's activation.
After giving the matter some thought, Shifeng looked at Breeze Wine and Endless Scars and said sternly, "We will be entering the Fallen Ark immediately. Do you wish to enter first, or do you wish to wait for the system update?"
The sudden system update had indeed exceeded Shifeng's expectations.
However, this situation also reminded Shi Feng of a system update that had happened before the Fallen Ark had appeared in his previous life. That update had caused quite a few people to suffer miserably.
Due to this sudden update, God's Domain had further improved its traps. Not only had the difficulty of decoding traps doubled, but the traps' power and stealth effects had also increased significantly.
As a result, many adventurers had suffered greatly. Due to this update, it had become even more difficult for adventurers to obtain weapons and equipment.
In God's Domain, weapons and equipment mainly came from three sources. The first source was Dungeons. The second source was adventuring. The third source was quest rewards.
Due to this, the number of weapons and equipment available on the market had decreased significantly. Meanwhile, the players that produced weapons and equipment had profited from this disaster, and their position in God's Domain had become even more important.
The traps inside the Fallen Ark had been left behind by the Ancient Gods. Originally, they should've been incredibly difficult to break. Now that the system had improved the traps, exploring the Fallen Ark's interior would become much more troublesome. Only, Shi Feng couldn't possibly tell the Midnight Tea Party about this.
"Commander, what do you think?" Endless Scars did not answer Shi Feng's question. Instead, she turned to Breeze Wine.
Now that they had passed the most difficult stage, the Shifeng had mentioned it before.
Not long after the Fallen Ark opened, more powerful monsters would appear. According to the original plan, they would have to wait for those monsters to leave the Fallen Ark. Only then would they be able to safely enter the Fallen Ark.
However, they only had less than 20 minutes. If they went in now, they would have to bear the risk of encountering those monsters.
"Let's not go in for now. The Fallen Ark's monsters haven't come out yet. If we get killed while we enter, we'll lose more than we gain," Breeze Wine said. In the end, he still wanted to play it safe.
The way he saw it, as long as he had the map of the Fallen Ark, regardless of whether it was the following mission or the treasures inside the Fallen Ark, they would all be easily obtained. There was no need for him to take the risk and do something that was strenuous and unrewarding.
"What about our map?" Blackie couldn't help but ask.
Previously, they had agreed to wait until the Midnight Tea Party's members saw the monsters and safely entered the Fallen Ark before giving them a copy of the map. Now, the Midnight Tea Party's members had to wait until the monsters were lured away before they could enter the Fallen Ark. However, they could not afford to wait that long.
"This is a copy of the Fallen Ark's map. Take it," Endless Scars said as she took out a new copy of the map from her bag and handed it to Shifeng.
Endless Scars's actions stunned the Midnight Tea Party's other members.
They had yet to confirm the existence of the monsters Shifeng had mentioned, and they had yet to confirm the method of luring those monsters away. Handing over a copy of the map was simply too risky.
"Thank you," Shifeng thanked Endless Scars after receiving the map.
"This was originally a trade. However, this is our second trade. Even now, I still don't know your identities. I wonder if we can have the honor of getting to know each other?" Endless Scars did not respond to the team's questions. Instead, she simply observed Shi Feng with her beautiful eyes, a warm smile appearing on her face. Everyone who saw her could not help but have a favorable impression of her.
"Of course, that won't be a problem." Shifeng then removed the Black Cloak that concealed his identity and appearance. He then earnestly introduced himself, "Hei Yan, Ling YI Society's Guild Leader!"
Previously, they had concealed their identities because they did not want outsiders to know what Ling Yi's main force members were doing. Secondly, they did not want Endless Scars to know. After all, Endless Scars was the Blackwater Consortium's representative. Even if Endless Scars did not express any interest in Blackwater's affairs, Ling Yi was still Blackwater's enemy.
Most importantly, they had the Fallen Ark's map.
If Endless Scars found out that they were members of the Ling YI Society, they might lose their chance to obtain the Fallen Ark's map.
However, now that they had the map, there was no need to hide their identities. Moreover, Endless Scars had already spoken on behalf of the Midnight Tea Party. It would be unreasonable for them to hide their identities. After all, the Midnight Tea Party was the Midnight Tea Party, and Blackwater was Blackwater.
"It's you?!" Endless Scars's eyes widened in shock.
She had never imagined that the group of experts before her would actually be members of the Ling YI Society. Moreover, their leader was the Ling YI Society's Guild Leader.
"Thank you for the map. Let's work together in the future!" Shifeng chuckled. He then led his team towards the Fallen Ark's entrance.
Meanwhile, Endless Scars was at a loss for words as she watched Shi Feng's departing figure.
"Big Sis Endless, what's wrong?" Cloud Yarn asked curiously when she saw Endless Scars's stunned expression.
When she heard that Shifeng was the Ling YI Society's Guild Leader, Hei Yan, she was indeed shocked.
However, in Cloud Yarn's opinion, this was definitely not the reason for Endless Scars's shock.
Endless Scars had encountered many shocking situations in the past, but she had never displayed such an expression. This was the first time she had seen such an expression on Endless Scars's face. In fact, Cloud Yarn had never thought that the frivolous Endless Scars would reveal such an expression. (To be continued.)
