: Cutting-Edge Technology, Nutrient Chamber

....................................

On the panel, the countdown after the temporary Word of Power, "Word of Power: Monarch's Flame," has completely reached zero.

Then, in the next moment, the number jumped back to "7 days".

[Ding! All staff of Xuanyu Company wish you a pleasant gaming experience and are hereby gifting all players a "Temporary Word of Power for 7 days"!]

Looking at the panel, Lin Zhiying slowly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that, just like in his previous life, Xuanyu Company hadn't done anything strange with this.

The reason why players can "select A-level Word Spirits" at the start of "Dragon Raja: New World" is actually a promotional strategy by Xuanyu Company.

Essentially, it's no different from other games' "get 100 free draws upon logging in" offer.

The addition of "temporary" is for the sake of game balance; "temporary" means that it can be canceled.

As the saying goes, "He who possesses a weapon will naturally harbor murderous intent."

It wouldn't be surprising if a large group of players known as the "Fourth Calamity," possessing A-level Word Power, caused any kind of chaos in the game world; it would be strange if they didn't.

This also explains why, despite being an "open world," Dragon Raja: New World restricts players to City A.

During those few days, all the NPCs in the [Execution Department] were mobilized.

According to statistics from previous players, at least one-third of the players had been detained by the enforcement department for various reasons within the first three days after the server opened.

I can't even imagine what it would be like to completely loosen restrictions.

Dragon Raja: New World was released out of nowhere without undergoing a large-scale closed beta test.

These "seven days" are actually a period of adjustment and experimentation between players and the official team.

Starting today, "Dragon Raja: New World" is officially open for server launch!

In the lobby, Qin Chuan completed the process of Lin Zhiying joining the [Execution Department], and new skills appeared on his panel once again.

[Defend Order]: Gain additional bonuses when dealing damage to dragons and high-sin-value targets (faction level + (target's current sin value / 100)).

(Justice will prevail! Therefore, there is no upper limit to the sin value bonus!)

[Exposure Value Exemption]: As the embodiment of justice, you can be exempt from exposure value to a certain extent (Warning: Multiple violations may result in this skill being disabled).

As for the skill [Exposure Value Tracking], it can only be learned by increasing the faction level.

Compared to the [Mukuro (Demon)] of the [Fierce Demon Clan], the characteristics of the [Execution Department] are rather ordinary.

However, since the Balancer allows one to join multiple factions, and Lin Zhiying isn't picky, having new skills is always a good thing.

After finishing this, he estimated that neither Yuan Zhisheng nor "Five-Second Hand Speed" would be able to come out anytime soon.

Lin Zhiying planned to go back to his residence first, as he was still under the "bad luck" debuff.

After waving goodbye to Qin Chuan, he took a taxi back to his residence.

When he got off the bus and went to pay, he discovered that 500 yuan was missing from his account.

No, players' money is all stored in the account panel, how could it be lost like that? Cyber ​​ghost, huh!

Lin Zhiying was suddenly relieved that the assets of the "Fierce Ghost Clan" should include cars, as they were all under seizure and he couldn't use them for the time being.

Otherwise, given the effect of this "bad luck," there's a high chance of a car accident on the road.

This effect is a bit too outrageous; I'd better log off and lay low for a while.

....................................

Lin Zhiying took off his helmet, took out a bottle of cola from the refrigerator and gulped down a few mouthfuls. He then cooked some noodles and ate them with the hot meal kit.

He entered the game last night and spent about a day and a half in the game, which, according to the 1:3 ratio, means more than 8 hours have passed.

So it's a little past 8 a.m. now, and the sunshine outside is quite nice, making Lin Zhiying feel warm all over.

He had just finished slurping noodles and was washing the dishes when the doorbell rang.

Lin Zhiying was a little confused as to who it could be. When she went to open the door, she found that the people outside were all wearing work clothes.

"Who are you?"

Lin Zhiying suspected they had come to the wrong place, as there was nothing in her house that needed repair.

"Hello, are you Mr. Lin Zhiying? We're here to install your gaming pod."

The staff member at the door spoke up and handed over a receipt and pen.

So that's what it is. Lin Zhiying only remembered it after hearing him say that.

He won the game pod yesterday, and they came to install it today. Xuanyu Company's efficiency is really something.

After signing for the package with an ugly signature, Lin Zhiying directed them to install the gaming pod in his bedroom.

A moment later, a black object resembling a bed appeared in the room.

The staff left after installation. The gaming pod was already equipped with a special nutrient solution, which should last for about a week.

In other words, I don't need to log off for a whole week, which is perfect for a homebody like me.

As for when he needs to replenish his nutritional fluids, they will come to his door immediately. These services are all included in the 10 yuan bonus that "Han Li" gave him before.

Lin Zhiying calculated that the nutrient solution alone would cost 7000 to 8000 yuan per month, enough for a year's supply, which is unaffordable for most people.

However, it's high-tech, so it's normal for it to be a bit pricey.

Lin Zhiying couldn't wait to strip naked and lie down in the nutrient tank, whereupon she was immediately enveloped by a viscous liquid.

When he opened his eyes again, he was back in his residence in "Dragon Raja: New World".

His friends list kept popping up red dots, and when Lin Zhiying opened it, it turned out to be a "gift"!

It was a gift from Lan Mengtian; notice that it only contains the phrase "Happy Birthday, Boss."

Wait, how come a [gift system] has been added to the game?

How come I didn't know?

No, I only logged off once, but it feels like the world has changed so much.

You secretly evolved without calling me, huh?

Lin Zhiying finally decided to open the game's forum.

The first thing he saw was an announcement from Xuanyu Company itself:

"Dragon Raja: New World Version 1.1 Update"

It's been updated! Lin Zhiying recalled that it seemed to be three days earlier than in the previous life, probably because the game got on track faster in this life.

He clicked on the post:

"Dear players, to provide you with a better gaming experience, we have conducted a non-disruptive update today. The following are the update details:"

1. This update fixes some bugs.

"2. The event 【A Hundred Skills】is now open, and the leaderboard will be available for a limited time. Players can learn various skills during the event and receive rewards based on their ranking after the event ends."

..........................................

Some readers previously commented that I had never written about reality before, but now I have.

However, with the nutrient capsule available, it's unnecessary to log off; I'll write less in the future.

(It's almost Chinese New Year, I went out to dinner with friends, so the update is a little late, but I won't be taking a break.)

The author normally needs to request leave, and will give notice one day in advance after finishing the update on the same day.

I made a few images today: "Peacekeeper" and "Heart of the White King," they might still be under review.

(One last rant: after eating so much, my brain just doesn't work. I feel like a turtle lying in bed, unable to even turn over.)
