The developers still haven't forgiven the players.

Chapter 123, Version 1.05 Update

"What's wrong?"

Duan Jianhui glanced at him sideways: "You don't need to worry about being surpassed at your current level."

Peng Zhi sat up in bed and said in a grand manner, "No, isn't having good health a good thing?"

"Yes, it's a good thing, you can go."

Clearly, Peng Zhi's suggestion was not accepted by his roommates.

They're currently at the peak of their gaming addiction; why waste such precious time exercising?

Zheng Wen was looking at his phone, about to open the dormitory door, when he suddenly said, "Look at the official website."

The remaining three roommates didn't ask what happened; they all immediately took out their phones and opened the official website forum.

When they couldn't play the game, they spent most of their time on the official website forum, and they could practically recite the website address by heart.

Once you enter the forum homepage, you can see Dog Bro's complaint post. It seems that he has been posting on the forum ever since he was forced offline in the middle of the night.

However, they didn't have time to reply to the comments or make fun of it; their attention was drawn to a pinned post.

[Closed Beta Version 1.05 Update Announcement: New Equipment Quality System Added, Mountain Rhyme Military Department Makes a Stunning Debut, and a Brand New Mysterious Area Opens.]

Without any hesitation, Peng Zhi quickly clicked to check the details.

[Breaking Waves and Collapsing (Official): Hello! Fellow Daoists, thank you for waiting. It was supposed to be a press conference for the trio, but two of my colleagues tried "expired Blood Qi Pills" last night (actually, it's spicy hot pot base), and they're now lying in the tribe's infirmary on IV drips. So, I'll have to do a solo comedy. Ahem, let's get to the point.]

[The Primal Human Spirit server will undergo server-wide maintenance at 12:00 PM on October 1st. The maintenance is expected to last from 12:00 PM to 10:18 PM on the same day. If the maintenance is not completed within this timeframe, a server-wide compensation plan will be triggered. Please take note.]

"The wind and sand swept across the broken city walls, the bloodstains beside the broken halberds were not yet dry, and a strange whisper came from afar: 'Don't be nervous, this is not the post-apocalyptic wasteland, it's just the daily patrol route of the Mountain Rhyme Military Department.'"

Don't worry, we're all watching. Those who treat the rules like a joke and those newbies trembling at the entrance of the newbie village are all on our adjustment list. After this update, the survival environment for weaker players will be more friendly. The continuous technical adjustments have been very effective. Please look forward to it!

Major version update:

1. An additional 300 test player slots have been added. These new slots will be prioritized for players who actively submit bug reports on the official forum.

G users.

2. After the version update, players can view the quality of their equipment on their personal interface. The equipment quality will be divided into five levels, from low to high: white, green, blue, purple, and red, to help players better understand their equipment.

3. The Spirit Essence trading mechanism has been optimized. The "Official Trading Hall" entrance will be moved to the player's personal interface for easier consignment trading of Spirit Essence between players. (The development team reminds everyone again: Refuse private monetary transactions, download the anti-fraud app, and protect your account security.)

4. Fixed the "equipment retention" feature. After a player dies, their equipment will be left behind, which is not cool at all. In order to conform to the setting of natural selection, our team made this difficult decision after discussion. The equipment of a player after death can be freely picked up by other players.

5. A new race of strange creatures has been added as warriors. They appear near the Mountain Rhyme Military Department. Defeating them has a chance to drop "race-standard weapons" (who says a 100% drop rate isn't a probability).

6. Improved player sleep quality. After dying, players can also use game devices to help them sleep while waiting to be resurrected. We hope everyone can get a good night's sleep.

7. Fixed several issues, including delayed critical injury detection, map loading lag, and abnormal monster spawning.

Obviously, there are a lot of users online, especially after the battle in front of the abandoned stone fortress, where the casualties were too heavy.

The post below has already received many replies, most of which include the "player" suffix.

Peng Zhi read the update announcement word by word, even more carefully than when cramming for final exams.

"Stop looking, you can look at it in the classroom later. How many steamed buns do you want?"

Duan Jianhui suddenly spoke, interrupting Peng Zhi's thoughts.

Unbeknownst to them, they had already arrived at a breakfast window in the cafeteria.

Peng Zhi casually gave a number, then turned his attention back to the update announcement.

Wang Zihan didn't mind the heat and stuffed the bun into her mouth, muttering as she did so, "They actually released 300 game slots this time!"

"It's not surprising that there are 300 more game slots, since each update releases more game slots than the last. I estimate that the public beta is not far away."

What's the date today?

"Number 29, what's wrong?"

"That's strange. In the previous updates, the announcement was released and the update was done on the same day. Why was it released earlier this time?"

"What's so strange about that?"

Zheng Wen added in a matter-of-fact tone, "Normal game announcements are usually released one or two days in advance so that players can schedule their time accordingly."

Duan Jianhui suddenly slapped his thigh: "Holy crap, now that you mention it, a short holiday is coming up soon, right?"

Because they've been playing "Genshin Impact" lately, they've been so engrossed in it that they're not surprised to hear the date.

"What's the difference? Anyway, I plan to play games peacefully in my dorm."

"Aren't you guys planning to go out and have fun?"

"Where to go? Just to be stuck in crowds?"

"My mom called and asked me to come home for the National Day holiday, but I said I was too lazy to go. Besides, what tourist spot can compare to the scenery in 'The Primitive Era'?"

Peng Zhi took a bag of steaming buns from the cafeteria window. Seeing that the conversation was getting more and more off-topic, he suddenly said, "The most important thing in this announcement should be the equipment quality update."

Zheng Wen first nodded, then shook his head.

"It doesn't seem to make much sense."

That's absolutely true.

Dividing equipment quality into white, green, blue, purple, and red does sound convenient for players to distinguish whether the equipment they own is good or bad.

The problem is that even without this quality display, players can figure out whether a weapon is good or bad just by playing with it a few times.

Before this equipment quality distinction existed, it didn't affect their gameplay.

As for other updates, they're nothing special.

Especially that "official trading hall".

This feature was available in version 1.03, and the entry point was located in the personal interface.

In version 1.04, the entry point was moved to the game store, but in version 1.05, it has been moved back to the personal interface.

"That's perfectly normal."

"

"Otherwise, what do you think game designers do all day long?"

"Which game designer are you referring to?"

"I'm making it clear, okay?"
