Chapter 536 version
Almost three weeks have passed since the "Reset and Reboot" quest began, and the system announcement at this time means that a player has been stuck somewhere in the killing field for a full twenty days. What an unlucky guy!

Guilds can confirm whether a member has died by checking if a corpse has been teleported back from the teleportation point and whether the avatar in the friend list has turned gray.

However, in rare cases, the player is still alive, but trapped somewhere in the killing field, having lost consciousness and control of their body.

The Killing Field system stipulates that players cannot hide in the slums for refuge indefinitely. It will forcibly kick out those superhumans who have not returned to the real Earth for a long time. This time point is fourteen days.

If someone fails to appear for more than fourteen days, they will be classified as an MIA agent (missing during a mission), and funeral arrangements, compensation for the family, and insurance claims will be made.

If a corpse suddenly reappears after the funeral, it's hard to guarantee that it won't turn into a scene from a Hollywood movie where an American soldier excitedly returns home only to find that his family thought he was dead, his wife has met a new lover at a psychological support group, and his children have started calling him "Dad"—a truly hellish joke.

Li Sheng was quite curious about the system update, while the members of the Special Affairs Bureau had solemn expressions and decisively put away all the customized props.

Xing Hechou said, "Brother Ant, we're heading back to the bureau now. We'll bring the next batch of cultural relics over in a few days. Let's keep in touch."

"You're leaving already? Aren't you going to stay for a meal? It's perfect timing since we made too much food and can't finish it all."

Li Sheng said politely, and casually took out plates of suspiciously cleaned large intestines, two-meter-long thigh bones, and pork belly with skin from the freezer.

The young agents of the Special Affairs Bureau were inwardly screaming and cursing, "Holy crap, buddy, why does this piece of pork belly have tattoos?!"

"Don't worry, it's just the meat of a pig demon that has become a spirit."

Li Sheng smiled slightly, rubbing his chin with a hint of doubt, "According to the customer who sold me this piece of meat, that pig demon cultivated for hundreds of years to become a human, possessing immense strength, which is no easy feat."

I just don't understand why they can detect hundreds of muscle-building and strengthening veterinary drugs like clenbuterol and etoposide in pork. A mosquito that takes a single bite of blood could instantly mutate into a giant Carboniferous mosquito.

Why? It's so hard to guess.

The special affairs bureau staff smiled awkwardly, filed out of the office, and hurriedly closed the door.

Brush.

Hearing the door close, Huiyu looked confused and took off her headphones. "What was that sound? Did a thief break into the house?"

???

You didn't see any of the Special Affairs Bureau agents there just now, did you? Was your brain completely focused on predictions and guessing games?
Li Sheng's eye twitched, and he flicked Hui Yu's forehead with a sharp sound.

His first order with the Special Affairs Bureau provided him with a large amount of game currency, but now was not the time to settle accounts. Li Sheng sat down at his computer desk and quickly browsed the forum.

All players heard the broadcast from the battlefield, and the notification emails were clearly visible in their personal inboxes.

The last so-called version update occurred at the juncture between the first batch of pioneers and the second batch, directly creating the current landscape where major guilds dominate their respective territories and compete for supremacy.

Now, with another version update, forum traffic has surged, causing the webpage to lag and repeatedly refreshing the page only to see the same popular posts.

[100 Tips for Newbies, #55: After killing someone, you can leave a bowl of snail rice noodles at the door to mask the stench of the corpse]

[I am filing a formal complaint against the Thousand Throat Beast Guild's affiliated 4S store for alleged shady dealings, including forcibly evolving my Caterpie into Rayquaza.]

[Please click and follow! Personal mission log, #23, from the same series as "The King's Avatar" and "Jobless Reincarnation"—Dereliction of Duty Reincarnation. While under investigation for double expulsion, I continue my corrupt journey in another world.] Dereliction of Duty Reincarnation seems a bit far-fetched.
However, players can choose an incentive program when posting, earning money from advertisers based on clicks. Therefore, these posts are quite interesting and worth discussing.

Li Sheng resisted the urge to click on it, and kept pressing F5 to refresh, finally managing to get the webpage up.

Sure enough, new posts appeared like an explosion, all discussing the system notification that had just been sent.

"The version has been updated?! Will the level cap be raised this time?"

"Raising the level cap is possible, but it's unlikely. There are currently fewer than twenty Lv40 players on Earth, so there's no need to raise the cap. I estimate this update will most likely revamp the in-game store system, reducing the spawn rate of items with unclear purpose."

The forum was buzzing with activity, with some speculating that the update would expand the player base and others guessing that new potion types would be added.

Some people speculated that the killing field had completely stopped acting and was preparing to turn billions of Earthlings into players, predicting that the price of guns and ammunition would skyrocket, and hinting that everyone should go to his arms store to buy and stock up.

Li Sheng skimmed through the posts, sifting through the massive amount of information to find fragmented clues.

The fact that major guilds in the real world simultaneously convened online meetings for their mid-to-high-level members clearly indicates that they knew something in advance based on past patterns.
The five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council have collectively entered a state of combat readiness, with aircraft carriers leaving port, fighter jets taking to the skies, and widespread internet censorship.

Ordinary people on Earth go to work and school as usual, scrolling through their phones, unaware that in the extraordinary world just a wall away from them, the atmosphere is extremely oppressive and heavy.

Finally, amidst endless speculation and doubt, the system broadcast sounded again.

[In the ZXVCT10041 world, i.e., within "Earth", the quantity and quality of the Chosen Ones have met the requirements. The Killing Game is now advancing to the third stage.]

This update focuses on system performance optimization, interface interaction upgrades, and task distribution methods. For more detailed implementation rules, please refer to the "About Killing Field Game and Help" section in the player panel.

[The large-scale event "Elegy of the Kings" will be introduced later, so stay tuned]

The final interpretation of the above content belongs to Killing Field Game.

The final interpretation right of classics.

Li Sheng sat in his office chair, deep in thought, his hands supporting his chin, the light from the chandelier reflecting off his glasses.

The fewer the words, the bigger the message. A short update announcement of just over a hundred words can contain a tremendous amount of information.

First, the way the killing field describes Earth is the same as the players, giving it the number ZXVCT10041, which indirectly proves that the wheelchair scientist oracle told Li Sheng the main universe theory - Earth is not special.

Secondly, there were dozens of specific updates, both large and small, which allowed forum members to guess quite a few of them.

For example, slightly shorten the daily refresh time of each player's personal shop, reduce the refresh probability of broken and common quality items, and increase the drop rate of potions.
Slightly expand the scale of the Chosen Ones selection and balance the selection frequency of those without original souls—the statement about those without original souls is very indicative, as the cyborgs mass-produced by guilds like Prometheus using cloning technology can hardly be considered to have souls.

Li Sheng quickly browsed the update details, his gaze suddenly landing on the "Task Release Format" section.

In Phase Three, the Chosen Ones will no longer be limited to being matched with opponents from the same Crystalline Faction in Deathmatch missions. This update will be gradually applied to scenario missions, regular missions, and penalty missions.

No longer limited to the same crystal wall system. In other words, we will frequently be matched with otherworldly beings, or even non-human players?!
