The developers still haven't forgiven the players.

Old Kuai read the entire update announcement word for word.

As a player who enjoys combat without ever paying attention to the storyline in games.

He dared to say that in all his years of gaming experience, he had never read an update announcement so thoroughly before.

It can only be said that this unprecedented game has really made him addicted, and he doesn't want to fall behind other players by carelessly missing any key information.

Scrolling down, you can see that there are now hundreds of replies under the update announcement post.

[Dajiang: First!]

[Suicide at the hands of heaven: Did the person upstairs just come out of their grave?]

[Hot Boiled Water: See? The game store is out. They're probably going to find a way to scam money. It's a complete scam.]

[But even her departure is like a game: difficult to maintain, how dare a casual observer comment?]

[Sweetheart Strike (Admin): Please communicate amicably. Don't blame me for banning anyone who uses abusive language.]

……

Old Kuai wasn't surprised by the characters following these IDs.

In fact, if he were to comment now, there would also be a "(play)" tag after his ID.

With just one click, a comment will pop up: "[Closed Beta Player]".

As for the extra "(管)" following Brother Niu's ID, clicking it will bring up the "Forum Administrator" pop-up.

By the way, Lao Kuai also saw the post recruiting forum administrators and applied as well, but he didn't know why Brother Niu was chosen in the end.

Fortunately, his status as a forum administrator will not have any impact on the game, so even if he is not selected, Lao Kuai will not be too disappointed.

After exiting the update announcement post, the forum homepage was still filled with posts questioning the forum from various angles.

But this is something that's hard to evaluate.

Despite the doubts and questions raised by the public, it didn't delay the booking process at all.

The fifty slots released in this update were snapped up instantly.

I refreshed the forum page.

Old Kuai immediately noticed another pinned post, titled "[Latest Genshin Impact Beginner's Guide]".

However, the person who posted the message was not an official, but Brother Niu.

[Sweetheart Strike (Player/Admin): Given that this update has released another fifty player slots, I've decided to write this guide to make it easier for everyone to get started. Even if you haven't gotten a slot yet, you can still take a look; you'll need it later. Okay, enough chit-chat, let's get straight to the point.]

[Upon entering the game, you cannot select your gender, and forget about armed helicopters (grinning). The game will automatically scan the player's face. There is an adjustment limit to the model, so you can adjust it up or down as you like, but I don't think there's much difference.]

Once you enter the game, there's no skill barrier to entry. If you can move in real life, you can do it in the game too; it's very easy to pick up.

Here comes the crucial part. Remember, you must first go to the open area where players gather and learn the "Tiger Fiend Skill". This is to gain the qualification to upgrade. You must first use the "Tiger Fiend Skill" to complete the upgrade. Generally speaking, this process takes about half an hour and is indeed a bit tedious, but you must do it. Otherwise, even if you kill monsters later, you will not be able to gain experience.

Unlike traditional RPGs where you complete quests through a storyline, in "Genshin Impact," you have to treat it as if none of these things ever happened.

My advice to new players is to join a group of experienced players first, as it's safer. The death penalty is severe; not only does it reset your level, but there's also a resurrection cooldown. Clearly, the developers don't encourage test players to take risks, but they haven't outright banned it. I have to commend them for that; they know they can't teach players how to play the game…

Originally, Lao Kuai read Brother Niu's strategy post to fill in any gaps in his knowledge, but as he read on, he became addicted to the game and felt like ants were crawling all over his body.

He decisively threw away his phone and put the gaming helmet back on.

"Call on!"

A moment later.

Old Kuai, with a mournful face, took off his gaming helmet, looking utterly dejected.

It's better to just die; at least then there's a resurrection countdown.

Who knows how long this coma will last?

……

"What should we do if this guy doesn't wake up?"

Peng Zhi sat to the side, looking at Old Kuai, who was wrapped up like a mummy, with a worried expression.

Players in the game also received a system notification about the version update.

At this moment, the real time is 10:00 AM, and there are still two hours until the maintenance shutdown time mentioned in the announcement.

If it's a regular game, you can just log off. Anyway, if a player's account suffers any losses due to server maintenance, the official team will definitely compensate them.

The problem is, this game is clearly different from traditional games.

In which MMORPG player's body still exists when they log off?

Under these circumstances, Peng Zhi really didn't dare to stay in the dense forest and log off.

The unification of the world is naturally aware of this.

After checking him over and confirming that Old Kuai's vital signs were stable, he said, "We can only carry him back first. You can carry him."

Peng Zhi had no objection to this.

Originally, after refining and absorbing the red leopard, his level had already increased to level seven. Now, he alone enjoyed the experience of five beastmen warriors, and his level soared directly to level 19.

When trekking through mountains and rivers, carrying Lao Kuai on his back is easy and won't affect his actions.

The only problem is,

Peng Zhi turned to look at the weapons he had carefully gathered: bone knives, stone axes, and bronze pillars left behind by the players after their deaths, as well as the standard spears and short swords equipped by the five Zang warriors.

"What should we do with these? Don't we want them anymore?"

Tenka Fubu hesitated for a moment: "I'll take it with me after all."

This game is so stingy that it doesn't even provide a wooden sword for beginners; players have to find their own weapons to kill monsters.

That is why Peng Zhi and Tianxia Buyu were reluctant to discard so many weapons on the ground.

Tianxia Buwu walked around the pool, spotted an ancient tree, tore off the vines that were wrapped around it, and used them as ropes to bundle up the weapons, holding one end of the vine in his hand.

"Okay, I think so."

He walked ahead, a large bundle of weapons dragging on the ground, constantly making clanging metallic sounds.

Peng Zhi really didn't have any good ideas, so he didn't say much and followed after carrying Lao Kuai.

Nearly ten minutes passed after the two left.

A warrior from the Wu tribe carefully stood up from a patch of dense river grass.

He memorized the direction Peng Zhi and the others had gone and turned to return to the beastman camp to report.

However, at that moment...

A ghostly figure suddenly appeared behind him, raised his hand, and moved slowly, like a priest baptizing a believer, placing his palm on the head of the beastman warrior.

咔～

After a barely perceptible sound, the life of the barbarian warriors was cut off on the spot.

Jiang Chen casually tossed the corpse of the Beastman warrior aside.

"It's not time for a direct confrontation yet."
