Poverty makes me capable of anything.

Fight for your side.

Sometimes you need a little strategy.

Below are several concept art images released by the official team.

……

The game will start at 12:4 PM on April 3rd.

Night of the Stars 2.1 was released to players on time, and millions of players who had been waiting in front of the game pods joined the game immediately. Subsequently, this number grew exponentially.

Most players read through the complete game update announcement, which didn't take much time but allowed them to quickly understand the theme and content of the new version.

New map, new class, new quests, balance adjustments...

These are all things that the authorities have promised.

However, the specific details still need to be analyzed gradually.

Each major map now includes a previously locked new area, which is great news for players looking to level up. However, class balance adjustments are a topic of mixed reactions.

[Whirlwind Slash receives an epic buff, damage stacks eight times! My Berserker rises from the ashes!]

[The Mechanic's critical hit rate has been greatly increased! Damn it, isn't this a celebration for the rich? Those with bad luck are doomed!]

[The mana cost of Explosion spell has indeed increased, haha, one Explosion spell is no longer enough to solve the problem!]

……

More people are focusing their attention on team-based dungeons, new quest series, and new professions.

[Team Dungeons] were originally a daily topic for guild players, but this time the team dungeons are a bit different. First of all, it is a 500-player super-large dungeon that supplements the history of the Empire's development, leading players to experience the hardships when the Empire first came into contact with extraterrestrial forces, and feel the style of those noble families who have inherited thousands of years of history.

It's worth playing!

Moreover, it can drop limited-edition equipment, making it a great place for casual players to level up.

Secondly, there's the most attention-grabbing "Safe Dungeon," a team dungeon called "Safe Dungeon" by players in a very harmonious manner.

[Please note that this is a yuri (lesbian) story. Players who have objections should refrain from reading this!]

What kind of crazy setting is this?! Holy crap!

[This is a yuri (lesbian) story; please do not read if you dislike this genre.]

[This setting is super reasonable, okay? You all know that the Hidden Flower Pirate Crew only recruits female members. Male players can't get in at all if they don't transform.]

[Exactly! Some of the fan art is completely illogical, especially those featuring a captain and a pirate princess. Are you kidding me? There are no male captains in the Higanbana series, thank you.]

[Any member of the assault team who tries to find a reasonable explanation in a notebook must have something wrong with their head.]

[Our Warhammer guild has reserved this dungeon!]

Many of the new quest lines are linked to the new classes, and the exploration quests are distributed across the borders of the maps of the major factions, with Hidden Sands being the map that appears most frequently.

[Ancient God!]

The official update announcement introduced a new term.

In fact, some players have already encountered legends about the ancient gods during their exploration.

For example, the Aether Mechanic's Aether power is said to come from an ancient god called the Aether Soul.

The exploration missions encourage players to uncover various histories hidden within the game and reveal the history of the lost "gods." Once certain requirements are met, players can unlock these hidden professions.

In this version where the average player level is 91, leveling up a new class from scratch is very difficult, but the powerful attributes of hidden classes still make many players yearn for them.

Even if you don't choose this profession, the rewards for completing the tasks are quite generous!

The rewards from a story chain are several times greater than those from a regular hidden quest.

[Go go go!]

For Glory

We, the transdimensional beings, are invincible!

Warhammer, the guild leader, excitedly entered the game. After passing through the time portal on the login screen, he successfully arrived on Baplo.

The excitement surrounding Warhammer comes not only from the new game update, but also from the guild rating event held recently.

Based on their performance over the past period, Warhammer Guild has finally been rated as a one-star guild. Although it is only at the bottom, it has made Warhammer's dream come true.

His life had reached the end of his youth, while his playful life had reached its twilight years.

Warhammer is playing with the same dedication and health benefits as goji berries, competing with young, energetic gamers in terms of sheer grinding.

Now, he has finally done it!

At that time, Warhammer organized an offline celebration with a group of core players from the guild.

Chou, who was previously looked down upon by the Tranquility Guild and the Array Guild, now has a chance to get revenge, all thanks to his joining the right side.

Ah, life!

Sometimes it just comes down to luck.

In terms of skill, not to mention the Array Guild, which has a bunch of skilled players, even the Tranquil Guild can't compare, but Warhammer was lucky.

He encountered An Ran, who hadn't yet become the BOSS, right at the beginning, and after successfully latching onto her, he ran wildly ahead.

It's so good to curry favor with NPCs!

Anyone who mocks the "Three Leg-Clinging Heroes" is just jealous!

If such a great opportunity were presented to us, who would turn away?

This is money!

In-game currency that can be exchanged for real money!

"With the new version starting, let's gather the strategy team and clear the Anran dungeon first, no matter what."

Warhammer thought to himself with delight, and as he turned his head, he saw a number of familiar players appearing beside him.

Even in the new version, players will still appear at the same location where they last logged off. At that time, Warhammer was near the respawn point, counting down with all the players, so it's normal to have many players around you now.

"Leno, get ready to work!" Warhammer called to Vice President Lyranos Hammer.

Just now, he outlined a three-step strategy for the Warhammer Guild's development in version 2.1—

The first step is to pass through the security checkpoint safely.

The second step is to become one of the first players to advance to Master rank (Warhammer is currently level 98, ranking 37th on the server-wide level leaderboard).

The third step is to follow my older sister ANR's lead, and you're guaranteed to make a profit!

"I'm coming!"

Lyranos squeezed through the crowd, wiping the sweat from his brow: "I've already spoken to the strategy team, they'll be here soon."

“Great, we’ll have a meeting later to decide on a strategy, and then we’ll go in and familiarize ourselves with the dungeon.” Warhammer said with a laugh.

He certainly didn't expect to clear the dungeon on his first try. If he could, Warhammer would have to question whether the game's level designers were incompetent.

Making such an important dungeon so simple is just plain stupid.

The players in the square were all incredibly excited, some because the new version was released, and others because they could see Anran again.

"Honey, I'm home!"

"I feel incredibly guilty for neglecting my wife while I've been away on business for so long."

"Eat shit! Keep dreaming."

"I'd love it if ANR were my wife in my dreams, or better yet, if it were a dream like a TV series."

"Wake up, this kind of thing doesn't happen in dreams."

"Ahhh-"

Just as a group of players were arguing as usual, a scream suddenly rang out in the square.

Could it be a murder?

Of course not, after all, this isn't a crime drama.

But the seriousness of the matter is far greater than that of a murder.

"What? All the NPCs have disappeared?"

Warhammer, finally understanding what had happened, was dumbfounded.

The NPC has disappeared!

"Not only that, the living NPCs are gone, all the robots are gone too," a player added from the side.

"The problem is that there aren't any dead NPCs either."

All the players present were completely dumbfounded.

What a joke!

Where did all those NPCs go?

The buildings are all fine, but all the NPCs have suddenly disappeared. Is this some kind of horror game?

"Give me back my wife!"

"Damn it, my wife is gone!"

Some players suspect this is a game bug. It would be strange if a new version didn't have bugs. Wasn't there once a famous company that sold bugs and gave away games? I heard that they went from being the big boss to a small player after implementing a 200% price discount policy, and now they've disappeared.

"The update announcement also mentioned that a bug in the professional skills has been fixed, which means it is very likely that it was a bug."

At that time, some players went to ask the official account.

"A player has reported a bug!"

"What? There are already bugs right after launch?"

"They say all the NPCs in Baplo have disappeared."
