Less than half a second after Kaguya's threat was sent out, it was a slap to the face. It was even faster than a bullet. The entire chat room was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.
Now that he thought about it, perhaps Hui Ye really did have the characteristics of an old deity, because everything she said seemed to always be the opposite of what she said, such as the bet from last time.
Tang Hao was overjoyed.
Of course, no one had the time to care about Hui Ye's feelings after being slapped in the face. In fact, they didn't even have the time to go through the usual baptism for the new members. That was because with the addition of the Fairytale Witch, the chatroom had finally reached twenty-five members, fulfilling the requirement to level up.
Of course, the chat room's exclusive message was immediately displayed on the public channel.
[The 2D chat room has reached 25 members and has been upgraded to LV2. The chat room will be upgraded to version 2.0. This process may take a few minutes, please wait patiently …]
Da Bendan: Emmm???
As soon as they saw this sentence, all the members gathered in front of their phones or computers, waiting for the chat room to be upgraded, had black question marks on their faces. How could this be? Why did it feel like they were updating their own computers?
Her Royal Highness: Has this happened before? Old hag.
Kaguya had already forgotten the pain of being slapped in the face. He immediately Amethyst. Her mouth seemed to be getting more and more despicable.
The 17-year-old girl: …
Her Royal Highness: What's with the ellipsis?
The 17-year-old girl: I wanted to give you a mute meal, but maybe because of the version upgrade, the administrator privileges can't be used anymore. By the way, this situation didn't exist in the past.
Her Royal Highness: Oh, that means it doesn't matter how I hate you now?
The 17-year-old girl: Aren't you afraid that I'll settle the score with you later?
Big Idiot: "Aiya, don't joke around. The most important thing right now is the version upgrade. Suddenly waiting for a few minutes might make this upgrade very interesting."
Hijiki Riwa: Eh, the chat room has been upgraded?
Name of the Swordsman: That's sudden.
Dr. Roman: I've only been away for a while.
Meow Woods: It's my first time seeing an upgrade. I'm so excited.
…
The chatroom had been upgraded. Obviously, the message had been forcefully sent to all the group members. Even those who had not logged into the chatroom had received the message. Hence, at this moment, all the group members had come online to pay attention to this grand occasion.
That's right, a grand occasion.
When the chatroom was upgraded to LV1, it was done in an instant. There was no need for people to wait. At this moment, especially the words' Version 2.0 ', it was probably going to be a very thorough breakthrough. Everyone was filled with anticipation. Even Olmet, who had just joined the chatroom, was in high spirits.
There was only one person who didn't say anything from the beginning to the end — the Fairytale Witch.
Ever since she joined the group, she had been lurking around. It was as if she didn't exist. If it weren't for the fact that her profile picture was still lit up, everyone would have probably ignored her existence.
Tang Hao knew that the person behind this ID was Youzhu. Being a lurker suited her way of living. In other words, if she were to be like Olmet and make a shocking opening statement as soon as she joined the group, it would be a devastating blow to her persona.
The other group members were also very excited because the chatroom was about to be upgraded. For a moment, they didn't have the time to greet her. Even if there was an occasional mention of her, it was quickly drowned in the public chat. Hence, it was reasonable for her to lurk around.
However, after all, he was the one who invited her in. The others could ignore her, but he couldn't ignore her.
Considering that the public chat was filled with speculations and discussions about the new version, Tang Hao didn't want to interrupt them. Hence, he simply knocked on her private chat window.
[I'm Tang Hao.]
[… Yes.]
[Why did you only join the group now?]
[I don't understand the manual.]
'Alright.'
Tears streamed down Tang Hao's cheeks. As expected, Hui Ye was right. The difference in language had caused quite a bit of obstruction for Youzhu to join the group. It was also because he hadn't thought about it carefully at the time. He was used to the translation in the chatroom, and had long since forgotten about the difference in language. How could he have thought about it so much?
Of course, in general, there was no difference. Even if Youzhu joined earlier, she would still have to wait for Olmet to level up. In the end, the only difference between the two of them was the order.
[How did you understand it after that?]
[I learned a little Mandarin.]
[Oh, that's amazing. You learned Mandarin in two days …] Cross it off!
Tang Hao was about to send this sentence, but when he looked up and down, he realized that this chat was a little awkward. After thinking about it, he directly deleted this sentence and then wrote a new one.
[No matter what, it's good that you're in. The chatroom is about to be upgraded. You should take a look first.]
[Okay.]
'I'll give her some time to adapt.'
Tang Hao thought to himself. Then, he closed the private chat window and returned to the public channel to chat with the others.
At the same time, Youzhu Jiuji retracted her One Finger Zen and sat on the sofa in the living room. She curiously stared at the constantly scrolling words on her phone screen. This feeling was very novel.
In fact, when she received Tang Hao's invitation card, she did hesitate.
Because she didn't know much about Mandarin, she could only translate word by word from the dictionary at home. Even if she translated the entire manual, she felt that the meaning was not quite right. That was because many of the translated sentences were like this: It's a good day to go out and have fun.
Even if she only knew a little about Mandarin, she knew that such a translation was definitely wrong. It made her a little annoyed.
If it were someone like Aozaki Aoko, she would probably have thrown away the phone's manual and quit long ago. However, she was a very patient person. After all, lonely people were always good at observing and paying attention to details. So, she re-learned the basics of Mandarin. After spending two days, she finally understood the general meaning.
At this time, she finally understood what Tang Hao meant by making a choice.
Originally, she thought that from now on, they would be separated from each other. She also decided to completely give up all communication with the outside world and focus on her duties as a witch. However, she didn't expect things to unfold like this. She didn't expect that there would be something even more bizarre than traveling through time.
She hesitated and was confused, but in the end, she chose to join the chat room.
After reading the manual, she was very clear about the value of this special invitation card. It could be said that it could almost change a person's fate. In fact … it was worth hundreds of times more than the Holy Grail.
She was a very old-fashioned and conservative person, but it didn't mean that she couldn't understand the good intentions of others. No matter how Tang Hao's attitude was when he gave this invitation card to her, she couldn't ignore his good intentions.
Now that she joined the chat room, while others were talking about leveling up, she also looked at the group announcement and gained a deeper understanding of this chat room. However … looking at the conversations that kept flashing before her eyes, she couldn't help but feel that it was a little noisy. She didn't know if she could get used to such an atmosphere.
Fortunately, there were only words and no voice messages.
"Eh, it seems that voice messages can still be used?"
"Really? Then let's turn on voice messages. Typing is so tiring. "
"It's already on, idiot!"
"Oh."
Youzhu: "…"
So there's voice messages?
In an instant, she felt that the whole chat room suddenly became as noisy as a wet market.
Of course, this situation didn't last long. Two minutes later, with a "ding" sound, the public channel was finally refreshed with a new message. Then, the chat room quieted down again.
[Chat room officially launched version 2.0. The following functions will be upgraded and revised.]
[The travel value of all members in the chat room will return to the initial value of 100. The cooldown time is fixed at three days. However, the time limit for staying in a non-host world is ten days. The cooldown time will start after returning to the host world.]
Perhaps it was to let the group members better understand the functions of the new version, this paragraph of words scrolled very slowly. It specifically stopped for three seconds before scrolling up.
He no longer had to use his Reputation to teleport, and the cooldown time was also shortened. This was a good change. Although the time he could stay in another world was also shorter, ten days was more than enough. Unless there were special circumstances, no one would stay in another world for more than ten days or eight months. In general, the slowest time was thirteen days, so there were two chances per month.
And the fastest, such as returning immediately after going to another world, could reach the limit of ten times a month, which was more than the number of times one could masturbate … Of course, this method was almost meaningless.
Normally, staying for three to five days, cooling down for three days, and doing it four to five times a month was very balanced.
Therefore, this change was quite good.
Three seconds later, new words began to appear.
[Chat room UI improved. Added friend mode. Based on the evaluation of the group members, can be customized to turn it on.]
It was finally here!
When they saw this message, everyone's eyes lit up. They remembered that when Yinshi Sakata first entered the chat room, he had to go through a lot of trouble to let Kagura and Shinhachi understand the situation. But if there was this friend view mode at that time, it would have been much easier for them to understand the chat room, and it would have been much more convenient in all aspects.
Tang Hao also looked to his side.
He was currently still living in the Red Demon Club. He was watching the fairies dance on the balcony on the second floor as he chatted with the group chat. Yu Ji was sitting next to him, and because she couldn't see the chat room, she seemed a little lonely.
Of course, he still needed to test out the standards of this friend mode.
But no matter what, this change was very meaningful.
[Added a title function in the chat room. Members who join the group for the first time and have never been to an unknown world to recruit members will all have a new title. When a new member goes on an adventure in an unknown world, all rewards will be doubled, and after completing a mission, you will automatically receive a probability invitation.]
[For those who have gone to an unknown world to recruit new members and completed the mission, your title will be upgraded to beginner player. All group members who are beginner players and above can receive a beginner item and ability from the shop for free, and every other week, you can receive a Reputation reward distributed in the chat room. The Reputation reward is random from 1 to 5.]
[Titles of beginner players and above will be obtained based on the group members' own actions. Example: If a group member often does good deeds in an alternate world, there is a chance to obtain a Unique Title such as a charity ambassador. Any Unique Title will have a special ability.]
As soon as these messages appeared, everyone's eyes lit up again. It was obvious that the chat room encouraged everyone to go on adventures in unknown worlds, and it was very kind to nurture the group members. Whether they were new or old salted fish, they all had their own benefits, and the old salted fish even had a fixed reward.
Although the Reputation reward from 1 to 5 was very small, it was all free. As long as they were lucky, they could get 5 points every time, and within a few months, they would be able to exchange all the items in the level one shop. It was like money falling from the sky.
And what was the price?
All they had to do was complete a mission!
This was especially so for normal people like Megumi Kato. With the help of the shop and the title, they were no longer weak and powerless. Even if they went to a world where there was a battle, they would have a certain chance of survival.
However, people like the assistant and Kenjin were still in an awkward situation. Their interference value was too high, even reaching Kaguya's level, but their combat power was too weak. If the chat room did not improve their interference value, they would probably still be the same as before.
It was just like Jeanne d 'Arc, who was a noble five-star, but had no place to use it.
Of course, the changes so far were already very good, and there was only one word to describe it — amazing!
[Group member recruitment mode updated]
'Oh, it's coming!'
As soon as the words appeared, everyone held their breath. Although the previous UI changes and function upgrades were great, they did not have a decisive impact on the development of the chat room and the improvement of the group members. No matter what, the group member recruitment function was always the most important.
[Group member recruitment mode upgraded to version 2.0. There are three main modes: Normal, Hard, and Hero.]
[Normal mode is more suitable for new and weak group members. In normal mode, there is only a very small possibility of group member recruitment, and the reward for completing the mission is reduced by 50%, but there is no penalty. The main purpose is to accumulate adventure experience, and there is no limit to the number of times.]
[Hard mode is similar to the official recruitment function in version 1.0, but the difficulty, reward, and the triggering of side quests have been slightly increased. It is suitable for experienced group members.]
[Hero mode is very dangerous! Remember, hero mode is very dangerous!]
[First of all, hero mode is divided into group and individual mode. The difficulty is adjusted according to the average level of the group members. Other than the reward and penalty of the mission, everything else is random.]
[In hero mode, the world plot may change drastically. It is not a world line that anyone is familiar with, but a branch world line that has evolved from the original foundation. Example: If the group members enter the fantasy land of hero mode, they may encounter Amethyst who has not become a Sage Monster but an Abominable Demon. Or the fantasy land may not have a Bo Li Magic Stratagem, or the fantasy land may have a catastrophic world line where the moon and humans are at war.]
"Why me as an example?"
Upon seeing this, Amethyst's voice was heard in the public channel. She sounded a little unhappy. What Abominable Demon? Was she that bad?
"Perhaps it's because you're the second generation of the chat room, so it's familiar with you."
"Moreover, who knows if such a World Line really exists."
"That's right. I think this world line is just like the abnormal rumor zone of the moon. It's an alternative development based on a certain possibility."
"Wait! Since we're talking about a world line, we can't ignore our broken stone door. Whether it's a dystopia world line or the Third World War line, they should all be hero mode, right? "
"Why does it sound like you're a little proud?"
"Eh! Is that so? "
"That can't be right. The assistant isn't proud. It should be tsundere."
"Tsundere my ass. I'm not a tsundere!"
"Alright, alright. Stop bickering. Let's put aside the question of pride or tsundere for now." Tang Hao stopped the assistant from further bickering, or rather, showing off their affection. "I thought about it carefully and realized that I've experienced this hero mode before. Be it the Great Qin two thousand years ago or the Fifth Holy Grail War, weren't they all magically altered worlds? It's actually not that difficult. I got through it easily. "
"…"
Upon hearing this, the chat room fell into silence again. They did not know what kind of expression to use.
Smile?
They really could not bring themselves to smile.
It's not that difficult? I got through it easily?
You can lie with your eyes wide open, but don't treat us like we're blind, alright?!
Just look at the Great Qin two thousand years ago. If it wasn't for Yu Ji's powerful helper, if it wasn't for Big Brother Zheng's wisdom and magnanimity, you would have been dragged to the market and beheaded with your words and actions. You wouldn't have survived until the Demon God Pillars attacked!
In fact, if it wasn't for the help of the entire chat room, facing the Demon God Pillars' all-out attack, even with Great Qin's army at that time, both sides would have suffered heavy losses.
Even earlier, the matter of transmigrating to the Great Qin was also because of the existence of the Einstein of this era, Makase Hong Liqi. Otherwise, it would have ended before it even started!
And then there was the Fifth Holy Grail War. You almost got killed by the [Origin], and you've forgotten about it just like that??
Everyone felt that Tang Hao was a classic example of forgetting the pain after the scar healed. Let's not talk about whether those two incidents could be considered hero mode. Didn't he get through it because of his luck and the fact that everyone helped him? Yet, he said it wasn't that difficult … You should just be a human!
"Why aren't you saying anything? What are you afraid of? "
"Sorry, we don't have anything in common with you."
Everyone ignored Tang Hao and continued to stare at the scrolling words in the channel.
[In Hero Mode, all members who participate in the mission will receive a large amount of Reputation and Connection Points, as well as a random item from that world. At the same time, after completing the mission, you can choose any person in that world to join the chat room and receive a fixed invitation card.]
This reward …
"This reward is off the charts!"
Tang Hao exclaimed. This time, no one objected to him because it was the truth. Two new members in a single mission, and it wasn't random either. They could choose any one of them, and with the Reputation and other rewards, it could only be described as luxurious.
But —
Since it was such a luxurious reward, what was the price?
Since the punishment mechanism was mentioned …
[Members who did not complete the Hero Mode mission will have all their Reputation automatically deducted after leaving the mission world.]
[Note: In Version 2.0, Reputation will be a consumable. When a member accumulates a certain amount of Reputation, they can increase their level in the group. The level of a member is related to the benefits they receive. They can also be used to exchange for abilities and items in the shop. The deduction of Reputation will not affect the member's level.]
This was the price?
Everyone was dumbfounded. In the past, the deduction of Reputation was a relatively heavy punishment because the amount of Reputation directly affected the use of the shop. But now, as long as they used up their Reputation before entering the Hero Mode dungeon, it could be said that there was no price to pay.
Therefore, this punishment mechanism felt like a mosquito's leg. It didn't hurt at all.
"I don't think it's that simple. Based on my gaming experience, since the chat room's punishment is so light, the real punishment might be in the dungeon," Kaguya said.
Everyone nodded secretly. This was a very possible explanation.
They continued reading —
[In Hero Mode, the world interference value involved will be significantly increased. The difficulty will no longer be determined by the interference value. It will be based on the member's ability and combat power. But remember, the difficulty of Hero Mode is extremely high. Those who are not confident in their own strength should not take the risk!]
[In Hero Mode, outside support will be limited. Please check in actual combat for details.]
[In Hero Mode, you can randomly obtain the Lost Legacy.]
[In Hero Mode, although there is a name for Hero, the chat room strongly discourages individual heroism. Please be sure to observe your surroundings and cooperate with your teammates.]
[All recruitment modes can bring one to two pendants. Except for Hero Mode, the existence of pendants does not affect the difficulty and rewards. To allow the members to adapt to the new recruitment mode, the chat room has specially opened up training stages. The training stages will not generate any rewards or cause death in real life.]
[Note: Hero Mode can only be used once a month. Difficulty Mode depends on the number of administrators. Normal Mode has no restrictions.]
[Warning: Hero Mode is very dangerous. Do not challenge it before you are fully prepared!]
[Warning again, please be fully prepared!]
[The above is the group member recruitment mode in version 2.0.]
[Other than that, version 2.0 will not increase the number of administrators. The interference value of the chat room will be increased to 100. The interference value will be reduced to 20. Through the bond between the members, you can also share a certain amount of interference value. However, the real bond system will be unlocked at level 3. Before that, please be sure to increase the bond between the members.]
[In version 2.0, the shop will be further opened up. More exchange content will be enriched. Relevant information can be found in the shop.]
[The above is the full content of version 2.0. Increase the number of members, increase the level of the chat room. More functions and benefits will be unlocked. Please continue to work hard.]
[Note: To upgrade the chat room to level 3, 45 members are required.]
At this point, the screen stopped scrolling. Everyone knew that this was the full content of version 2.0. Apart from the bits and pieces, the focus of this update was obviously the Hero Mode.
The chat room had specially issued three warnings. Obviously, this Hero Mode might really be worth watching.
