NABC Chapter 330
Chapter 330
Many players carefully observed everyone on the street and realized that they were all players, diligently carrying out their tasks. Occasionally, one or two NPCs would appear, and they seemed to be truly living here, fully playing the role of a person throughout their lives.
As I watched, spring, summer, autumn, and winter passed by, and so did the years. If one didn't detach oneself from it, one would likely be silently immersed in its presence. Unbeknownst to me, a Bodhi tree had grown from the mountainside to right before my eyes, so tall it seemed not like a Bodhi tree but a divine tree from the celestial realm. It was truly unimaginable what tree could grow to the height of a pagoda, gradually obscuring the bustling street.
Turning around, the master was nowhere to be seen; only tattered clothes and a skeleton remained.
Many players felt a chill run down their spines; the power of time is truly terrifying!
A leaf drifted in from outside, crashed into the monk's arms, and shattered his skeleton in the process. Everything was carried away by the wind, taking the leaf with it.
The outside world has entered autumn, but that leaf is so green it's almost unsettling.
The following lines of poetry appeared:
Year after year, I think of you; the seasons turn, but my soul remains.
A thousand-year-old Bodhi tree has appeared gracefully, while a single leaf has flown away and scattered throughout the world.
The leaf fluttered towards me, finally settling in a snow-white scene, still so dazzlingly green and almost blinding.
The video ends.
Many players were confused by what they saw, and at the same time felt a lot of inexplicable melancholy.
The player who obtained the small boat quickly took it out to see what kind of treasure it was. The video cutscene was so mysterious; it must be something really valuable.
Take it out, and the system will tell you that it is a flying magic item.
Seeing the word "flying" made me think it would be like the red hydrangea, which was a bit disappointing. Once you have the first one, the second one isn't as exciting. The red hydrangea, even when shrunk, can be hung on the waist and looks quite nice. I wonder what to do with this leaf. It wasn't designed as a jade pendant or any wearable jewelry; is it really just a pretty, bare leaf?
Or is it that you can take it and make it into something?
Never mind that, let's first see what advantages this aircraft has over the red embroidered ball.
He was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
The Leaf Boat truly is just a leaf boat; it can be opened using experience points available in the current martial arts system, such as Yin energy, immortal energy, spiritual energy, internal force, and merit. Once opened, it's completely different from the Red Embroidered Ball, which requires human experience points to activate; the Leaf Boat, however, can be activated using external objects.
It's shaped like a small boat, complete with a tiny canopy. It can seat about ten people, significantly more than the Red Embroidered Ball. At the front is a small Bagua (Eight Trigrams) plate with eight holes for placing various items that grant experience points.
Then it can fly!
The controls are very simple; you can operate them directly with your thoughts. You need to pay attention to the energy consumption; the system will alert you when it's almost depleted, much like warships and aircraft in the real world.
Upon thinking of the flying vehicle, the player instantly became familiar with controlling the small boat. At the same time, he took out a small tea table that was similar in color to the flying vehicle and placed it on the boat, which suited him quite well.
It felt so good after driving!
The speed is excellent.
If we go back to the time when Yaochi was charging into the leaderboard back then, who could surpass his speed?
Absolutely not.
As he charged forward, another situation arose: he actually rushed from one district into another!
This...this!
He was dumbfounded when the system prompted him to enter another area; really, he was quite dumbfounded.
Then another world announcement appeared. This event is truly full of surprises and announcements! It gives the feeling that the world is a huge treasure trove, just waiting for players to explore.
Congratulations to player "I Don't Love the Marshal, I Love the Lady" for successfully breaking through the regional boundaries and officially launching the regional-specific construction instance. Everyone is welcome to actively explore and find their own desired construction style! The hidden announcement section has been unlocked; please go and view it.
As the chosen one to launch the new version, there are naturally rewards: fifty spirit stones, a crescent-white robe with a dragon pattern, and a bloodstone headdress.
Just when I was wondering where to get the energy for my small boat, this is exactly what I needed – quite excellent.
After excitedly breaking through several zones in a row, I finally calmed down. Who doesn't like speed?
That unbridled speed, almost breaking through dimensions and the universe, the wind whipping against your face, the scenery as fleeting as a drifting cloud in a video—indistinct, utterly indistinct. Only when speed is linked to time can its true speed be appreciated. For example, hundreds of years ago, traveling to another planet took three or four years, even decades, using near-light speed. But with technological breakthroughs, travel to other planets has drastically reduced to a year, six months, a few months…
That's the feeling, pretty cool.
At this moment, the world of Qingfengyi officially enters the era of Xianxia cultivation, and interstellar players will be amazed by the brand-new knowledge system. This knowledge system is not a scientific system, but a metaphysical system.
Actually, we've been gradually adding these elements before, such as the Temple of the Matchmaker, hidden encounters, Chang'e flying to the moon, Hou Yi shooting down the suns, the phoenix's rebirth, private realms, and the hunter, among many others. Story-driven players have already pieced together various details to deduce the vast world-building behind it all, and are patiently waiting for the next installment.
Players with exceptionally keen insight into the storyline have even deduced the underlying update content, and their findings are remarkably similar to those released by the official team. When the Underworld was introduced, this part of the content was only the tip of the iceberg, leading many players to criticize the event as perfunctory, a rehash of previously released content. However, closer inspection reveals that Qingfengyi was actually giving players time to prepare for a much larger update later.
In other games, this would be a test run, to see if players can accept it, to what extent they accept it, and what kind of reaction it will cause.
However, because Qingfengyi has always adhered to a single server, a lot of test content was included. Players didn't know this at first, but as more content appeared, they could guess some of it.
Testing game content updates beforehand is essential. In Lin Shuying's past life, there were countless examples of games shutting down due to player abandonment after content updates, sometimes even becoming trending news and reaching the ears of someone like her who didn't play games much. Qingfengyi's approach seems different but is similar in principle. The biggest difference is that they will update regardless of player preference, unless a major bug is discovered, in which case they will not make any changes.
Based on past experience, a huge bug is most likely because the game was crashed by players, haha.
The first small boat appeared, followed by the second, the third... and so on. The vast world was filled with tiny leaves flying everywhere, lush and green, resembling a bustling street in a first-magnitude planet—with flying machines everywhere.
