Inside the offline resting space of God's Domain, Shifeng slowly opened his eyes.
I've finally made it. Now, all I have to do is wait for the system update to complete and log back in. Shifeng could not help his excitement when he thought up to this point.
After all, even the Intermediate Mana Pulse Cannons were only equipped with Advanced Trap Spells.
A place that could set up a Master Level Trap Tactic would definitely have a very valuable treasure hidden there.
Following which, Shifeng's gaze swept across the system's screen before him.
According to the system's display, there were still 14 hours and 40 minutes before the system update would complete. It was obvious that the changes to God's Domain this time were significant.
A nearly 15-hour system update … It should be roughly the same as the Fallen Ark's activation in the past. Shifeng could not help but recall the details of the system update in the past.
Every system update in God's Domain would, more or less, change the direction of a Guild's development. Take the previous few system updates for example. The various large Guilds had begun to pay attention to Lifestyle classes that had not received much attention in the past. Some large Guilds had even begun to focus on nurturing Advanced Lifestyle players. This system update would similarly change God's Domain.
There were many Lifestyle classes in God's Domain. Aside from Forgers, Engineers, Alchemists, Enchanters, Leathermakers, Tailors, Chefs, and so on, there were also many niche Lifestyle classes that players did not pay much attention to.
For example, there were Diviners, Architects, Appraisers, Deceivers, Trainers, Tamers, Scholars, Magicians, Locksmiths, and many other niche sub-classes.
As a result, niche sub-classes that had not received much attention in the past would gradually become more important.
It was similar to how God's Domain's Traps had been before they had been perfected.
Adventurer players had a relatively easy time exploring the fields. Their main problem was guarding monsters. As for setting traps, most adventurer players did not pay much attention to them. This was because there were only two possibilities for disarming traps. The first was that the traps would take some time to disarm, and the second was that the traps would not be disarmed.
There was no such thing as a failure to disarm a trap.
However, after God's Domain's system update, a third possibility would appear.
Traps could be disarmed, but there was a risk of failure.
If the disarming process failed, the trap would be triggered.
There were strong and weak Trap Tactics. If a player was hit by a weak Trap, they might be able to keep their life. If a player was hit by a strong Trap, they might have to pay a price that was not as simple as losing a level.
Take the Magician subclass that Shifeng had learned as an example. In reality, the Magician subclass was responsible for drawing Magic Scrolls and creating magic arrays. Although the Magician subclass was not as important as the Forger subclass, it was an indispensable subclass in God's Domain. Moreover, as one grew stronger, the Magician subclass would become more useful.
It was precisely because of this that the various minor subclasses had become increasingly important. In order to develop better, the various large Guilds would naturally nurture a large number of minor subclasses.
"Looks like I'll have to get A Melancholy Smile to start collecting Purple Dew and Five Colored Flowers as soon as I go online." Shifeng pondered for a moment before coming up with a plan to nurture a niche subclass.
Unlike common subclasses, minor subclasses were not as difficult to improve as common subclasses. One needed a large number of materials to experiment with. One only needed to reach a certain standard.
Take the Magician subclass for example. If one could draw a Basic Magic Array, they would be a Basic Magician. If one could draw an Intermediate Magic Array, they would be an Intermediate Magician. There was no need to accumulate Proficiency Points in order to draw an Intermediate Magic Array.
Although there were no restrictions when it came to learning niche subclasses, and it wouldn't be a problem to learn up to ten niche subclasses at once, due to personal factors, everyone had their own specialties. It wasn't that easy to learn an Intermediate or Advanced subclass, let alone Master subclasses.
Hence, players had to learn the minor subclasses they were good at in order to progress further.
However, how could the system determine which minor subclasses a player was good at?
In the past, the most famous method to determine a player's potential was the Talent Potion. As long as a player drank a Talent Potion, the system would test the player. After a series of tests, the system would determine the most suitable subclass for the player. This way, players would not have to waste time researching a subclass they were not good at.
Of course, if players purely liked certain subclasses, they could also learn them. Only, their leveling speed would be very slow.
Meanwhile, the Talent Potion's main materials were Purple Dawn Dew and Five-colored Flower. As for the recipe, Shifeng knew where it could be dropped. As long as he went to grind for it, he would have no problems obtaining a few recipes.
After Shifeng confirmed his future plans, he chose to sleep. He only exited his virtual gaming cabin at seven in the morning.
After Shi Feng finished his breakfast and completed some basic training, he prepared to visit Zero Wing's training ground. However, Liang Jing, his female assistant, was already waiting for him by the lounge's entrance. She wore a set of black work attire, and when she arrived, she noticed that Liang Jing was already waiting for him by the lounge's entrance.
"Head Instructor, the Chairman has a very important matter to discuss with you. He is already waiting in the Chairman's office," Liang Jing reported as she looked at Shifeng, who was dressed in blue sportswear.
"Got it." Shifeng nodded.
In reality, even if Xiao Yu hadn't come looking for him, he would've gone looking for the Swordsman after some time.
After his previous expansion of Ling Yi's Workshop, he had recruited plenty of talented players. These players were much stronger than the independent players he had recruited in God's Domain. Although their levels were still very low, their combat standards were much higher than ordinary elite players. In addition, with Lei Bao's and his guidance, their combat standards had improved. It was only a matter of time before they cleared the Trial Tower's fourth floor.
As long as they cleared the fourth floor and reached the fifth floor, they would be considered experts in the eyes of ordinary players. If they could reach the fifth floor's late stage, they would definitely be considered experts in large Guilds.
However, Shi Feng wanted experts who could hold their own, not experts in the eyes of ordinary players.
It was very difficult to nurture such apex experts. First, one needed sufficient external resources, such as S-rank Nutrient Fluids. However, Shifeng did not have the means to obtain large quantities of S-rank Nutrient Fluids. Xiao Yu, on the other hand, did.
The Big Dipper Building's 51st floor was reserved for the Chairman. It was also the Big Dipper Building's highest floor. While standing in the hallway, one could see Jin Hai City's scenery through the panoramic glass wall. It was as if one were an emperor overlooking Jin Hai City.
Throughout Jin Hai City, only a handful of people were invited to this floor. Even Liang Jing, the Chairman's senior assistant, had never visited this floor. Normally, she would wait on the 50th floor.
At this moment, Liang Jing followed the Shifeng to the Chairman's office. As she looked at the Shifeng's narrow back, Liang Jing sighed ruefully.
If the Chairman hadn't asked her to bring Shifeng here, she most likely wouldn't have had the opportunity to set foot in this office.
After Liang Jing opened the door to the Chairman's office, an office the size of a basketball court appeared before her. Meanwhile, three people were already seated before the floor-to-ceiling windows, chatting.
Shifeng recognized all three of these people. One of them was Xiao Yu, while the other was the bald man, Gan Xingteng, who Fire Dance had once taught a lesson to. As for the handsome and elegant youth with the physique of a cheetah, he was Xie Qiwen, known as the White Tiger Dojo's fighting genius.
