Chapter 397 Version Update
"Open two bottles of red wine that are over fifty years old."
Dongyang took out a bag of gold pounds very grandly, weighed it, there were about forty or fifty, and threw it directly on the front desk with a bang.
“The big one is your tip.”
"Thank you sir!"
When the bartender saw this, his nervousness and fear immediately disappeared. He took the money bag with a smile, opened it and took a quick glance, and he knew what was going on.
In addition to the money for two bottles of red wine, he could also get a tip of three or four gold pounds, which was a huge sum of money! For the bartender's weekly salary of nine silver coins, this is equivalent to a year's salary!
Dongyang then acted like a big brother and led Zhonggao to the corner of the bar to sit down.
The surrounding guests quickly stood up and left, as if they felt that these undead strangers, armed with rifles, were disgusting and not easy to mess with.
Dongyang and others just smiled at this and didn't say anything, and sat down to drink.
"The main mission is over, and we have gained a lot... We have tens of thousands of experience points in reserve, and we are just waiting for the next version to come, and the level limit will be opened, so that we can be ahead of other players at the beginning of the version."
He took a sip of red wine and smiled.
"Indeed."
Polaris nodded in agreement.
"In the Bloody Battle, the stronger you are, the more things you can do, so we are the players who have gained the most... Although I always feel that version 1.0 ends too quickly, for us, the impact is not that big Big.”
"The 1.0 version of the 'Scarlet Festival' was caused by the rebellion of the Red Apple Church. The Lost Name Guild suffered a lot this time. They originally joined the Red Apple Church and made a lot of noise in front of us... That Wuming guy, just I have shown off to our Ying Ling Pavilion President Xiao Guang several times at offline receptions, and now I look like a gray-haired person all day long, haha, what a relief!”
Dongyang smiled.
"I heard that the 'Black Consortium Doug' behind the loss of reputation has lost tens of billions of assets. It's no wonder that their president has failed to recover. After all, he has to bear most of the responsibility for this."
The nugget gold took a sip of wine and gloated.
Chen Xi on the side also echoed a few words and shared some inside information she had obtained, which confirmed this statement.
Everyone couldn't help but feel lucky that they had joined Jack's command from the beginning and became a member of the circus. Now it seems that this was a wise and far-sighted decision.
"By the way, do you have any news about version 2.0? Don't hide it. We are all our own people. Share it so that everyone can prepare early."
Wei Yin chuckled and said to Dongyang and Chenxi, the senior officials of the big guilds.
After hearing this, Tutu, Dragon King, Kucha Nana and others also pricked up their ears. Among them, two individual players, Polar Star and Su Keying, couldn't help but cast their eyes with concern.
Unexpectedly, Dongyang and Chenxi looked at each other, smiled bitterly and shook their heads.
"Where is the inside information coming from... This game was created by the supercomputer of federal scientists. Even those guys don't understand this game. How can we know it?"
Dongyang looked at everyone's disbelief and contempt, and knocked on the table angrily.
Boom!
"Really! Our president Xiaoguang's uncle is a member of the development team. There is really no gossip! I am lying to you!"
Dongyang's tone rose a little.
He turned his head and looked around, and found that no drinkers were paying attention, so he lowered his voice and added:
"But there is something unusual... The president's uncle told him that the process and development of version 1.0 has undergone tremendous changes, and the background data and programs have deviated from their original trajectory... so I think what Polaris just said is actually correct. Logically speaking, version 1.0 should not end so soon.”
Everyone raised their eyebrows, not expecting that Yingling Pavilion had such a relationship.
Immediately afterwards, Dongyang dropped another bombshell news.
"And I told you, the president's uncle also said a very strange thing, that is, the important reason that caused the program mutation was a string of extremely special data... That string of data seemed to appear out of thin air. , tracing back to the origin, it was found that it was born on a certain day one year before the internal beta.”
He said, drank some wine and drew something on the table.
"What puzzles federal scientists is that the letter 'J' appears in this string of data... This is almost impossible when the program is running."
Dongyang raised his head and looked at everyone with a half-smile.
"What did you think of?"
Polaris and the others looked at each other in shock.
"You mean...Mr. Jack?!"
"I don't know."
Dongyang shook his head.
“But the president has told his uncle about the speculation about this matter... The development team said that we should always pay attention to the actions of NPC ‘Jack Speight’ in private, which will help them study the operation of the game. ”
"It seems that it has been basically confirmed..."
Su Keying said dumbly.
"No wonder Mr. Jack is so special. It turns out that his appearance is unusual."
"Having said that, since everyone is confused about the next version, what should we do next?"
asked the nugget gold.
The good friend beside me, Wang Wuji, said:
"We can only wait until the version update is completed, and the think tanks of our three guilds will analyze it together and come up with the best strategy... But sometimes those guys are not very reliable. After all, only us front-line players know this. They know how to play the game.”
Polaris drank in silence and opened his mouth several times, but no sound came out.
Dongyang noticed his performance and asked doubtfully:
"Polaris, if you have anything to say, just say it. We are all brothers who have played together for so long."
Others also looked at him, and Polaris thought for a moment and hummed.
"Actually, I received a private interview from Mr. Jack..."
"Good guy! You're eating alone again, right?!"
The tail tone was exaggerated and jealous.
Dongyang was thoughtful, and then asked:
"Did Mr. Jack say anything to you?"
Polaris first rolled his eyes at Oyin, then nodded.
"Well, he told me some clues and information, I think it should be related to the next version."
"Zhuo! Brother Beizi, you are really good! You are the only one who knows something that so many players in the server, including the three major guilds and even Brother Dongyang and their presidents don't know!"
When he met the Dragon King, he sounded excited and gave a thumbs up.
"Speak quickly! Brother Beizi, tell us quickly!"
Polaris prepared the words and then said slowly:
"Mr. Jack said that he will leave here soon and go to the Imperial City of Tourmaline Kloster to serve as the head of the Generous Council branch of the Imperial City, and will also join the Imperial Judgment... Although the turmoil in the Red Apple Church has come to an end, But the empire still faces two big troubles that need to be dealt with urgently."
He noticed that all the senior officials looked serious, so he did not show off and continued:
"One is the turmoil in the spiritual world. This matter started a long time ago, but ordinary people have no channels to obtain information... There are many dangerous polluting creatures that appear inexplicably, and they become more and more serious as time goes by. It is very likely that It will affect the present world... Mr. Jack said that he is likely to investigate the matter as a 'vanguard'."
Polaris took a sip of wine and calmed down.
"The second one is the war in the west. The war between the Trisul Empire and the United Kingdom of Anlong will not be over in a short while, so Mr. Jack said that in the future, undead strangers may be needed to go to the battlefield, that is, us. Players.”
"In other words, the main plot of the next version is likely to be related to the turmoil in the spiritual world or the war in the west?"
Dongyang thought for a while and asked.
Polaris nodded.
"Yes, but no matter which one it is, we should follow Mr. Jack's footsteps... He also suggested that I make preparations early and go to the King's City in advance to adapt to the environment. If there is any need then, he will give priority to us. People.”
"I understand."
Goutoujin slapped his face.
Snap!
"We will set off immediately and rush to the royal city. When the version update is completed, we can receive Mr. Jack's mission as soon as possible, even the main mission!"
Everyone had a look of understanding on their faces, and their excitement could not be concealed.
"Brother Beizi, I love you! Thank you so much!"
The Dragon King chuckled.
"I feel that what Brother Beizi just said is also like the main line of the next version. Does this mean we are another big step ahead of other players?"
"Of course forget it...Intelligence has the highest priority, and the information gap is our advantage."
Chen Xi glanced at him calmly and said lightly.
At this moment, a prompt box suddenly popped up on everyone's panel——
[The version will be updated soon, please log off in time to avoid unnecessary losses...]
[After the version update is completed, we will issue maintenance gift packages to each player. The specific opening time may be postponed or advanced according to the actual situation. Thank you for your support and understanding...]
[Countdown to version update 14:59...]
The fifteen-minute countdown started, and everyone was a little surprised.
"I didn't expect it to be so soon. It seems our plan won't work..."
Dongyang sighed with regret.
"Let's wait until after the update is completed and we go online to make plans."
Polaris glanced at him and said softly.
Dongyang shook his head.
"This is the only way."
Others also looked helpless.
"I can't do anything for fifteen minutes. I plan to leave first. I just want to take a bath and rest. The bloody battle during this period was so brutal that my wife scolded me several times..."
Dongyang filled everyone's wine glasses, and then picked up his own wine glass.
"Come on, have a drink and let this be a short farewell! Our adventure will continue until the next time we go online!"
"Come!"
"Cheers!"
Everyone raised their glasses and clashed with each other.
Ding dong!
After everyone drank the wine, Polaris smiled slightly.
"Everyone, see you in the next version!"
"See you in the next version."
"Hey wait..."
Dongyang quickly raised his hand to stop him.
"Don't make life or death worse. Let's get together offline tomorrow. I'll treat you."
"Hahaha... Okay, brother Dongyang, wherever, I'll be there on time."
"Block 13, Gorgeous City, Molan Tavern."
"No problem."
Everyone quickly agreed.
Only Jiexing took a deep breath. Just when he was about to refuse, Dongyang saw through his mind and quickly held his shoulders.
"Come and live in Huanlan City, brother. I still have an unused house that I can rent to you at a low price. Now you are considered a big shot, so don't be the same as before... I heard that you also have a grandma, Let’s move in together and take care of anything.”
"Yes, Brother Beizi, come here to play."
"I'll introduce you to my best friend, rich lady."
Polar Star was stunned for a moment, then his expression changed several times, and finally he smiled and looked at everyone with emotion.
"Thank you."
He nodded vigorously.
"Okay!" (End of this chapter)
