Chapter 1024: The beginning of two years, a major system update!
The New Year is approaching quietly.
There is no familiar New Year flavor, and there is no gala party that will be broadcast as usual.
Perhaps most people never thought that they could persist here for a year since they came to the wasteland.
So even on the last day of December, there are only sparse blessings coming and going on the World Channel.
However, in the Tianyuan territory, the atmosphere was completely opposite.
December 31st is the last day the fog poison ends.
This day is a rare sunny day.
After the light rainy season which lasted for more than ten days starting from mid-month, the fog in the air is no longer so thick.
Looking up at the sky, the sun, which had disappeared for a long time, had already appeared in outline.
Everything indicates that this half-year-long fog of thousands of illusions is coming to an end, and a return to normal is just around the corner!
At six o'clock in the morning, the cleaned large square in front of Hope Village was finally decorated.
Red ribbons are woven back and forth on the built shed, creating a festive atmosphere.
Hanging along the ribbon are handmade lanterns made by the residents one after another. Although some people make them look weird, the interspersed lanterns among the lanterns make the festive atmosphere even stronger.
To let everyone remember this memorable day.
As early as three days ago, Sumo made a direct announcement that all consumption on the last day of the year in the wasteland would be paid for by the dungeon.
As long as you don’t waste it, you won’t have to pay a penny even if you eat till you die today.
The funds for the chef apprentices to purchase raw materials are only advanced in advance. After the New Year, they can go to the designated location with the warehouse receipt for reimbursement.
As a result, many players who chose the chef apprentice route have already gotten up early, brought the ingredients prepared yesterday to their sheds, and began to wait for the residents who were waiting for food to get up.
Early morning.
With the clear bell ringing in the village, the door of the prefab house opened.
Residents carrying wooden buckets and wooden basins walked out of the door, with festive expressions on their faces.
A few cowards found red fuel from nowhere and painted their barrels bright red, adding a bit of festive color.
In front of the bathing room, there is a long queue of people, almost reaching the village gate.
When it was so crowded in the past, most people couldn't help but get anxious and eventually chose to give up queuing.
But today, everyone can only see "gentle wind and drizzle" on their faces.
After all, in the last time of the year in this wasteland, we can remove the dust of yesterday and welcome the new year with a neat appearance.
This is so enjoyable!
In the entire New Continent, no. I’m afraid in the entire wasteland, only the Tianyuan Territory can have such luxury, right? !
“Brother, it’s already eight o’clock and you still haven’t gotten up, today is New Year’s Eve!”
"Forget it, let me take Oreo and Moore out to play first. See you in the evening."
There are not only some food arranged in the square, but also the entertainment and prize-winning activities are equally attractive.
Su Chan shouted at the door, and when she heard Su Mo's feeble reply, she turned her head and left.
After Sumo lay in bed and finished browsing the survival point daily report, he glanced at the information on the world channel and got up.
The market not far from the underground city gate is already crowded!
The fragrant smell of food drifted far away along the wind, and the crackling of firecrackers sounded from time to time.
The several game stalls set up in front of them are already occupied by people eating melons.
Because each person can only participate in each game once, most people are cheering and watching the fun, waiting to try it when they are fully confident.
But this lively scene in the wasteland is still extremely shocking!
"Happy New Year, Master!"
The small charging cube placed in the ceiling of the first floor of the dungeon shook, spread its small wings, flew up and landed on Somo's shoulder.
Since Lu Kuan improved the wireless charging device for this little guy, it has become his favorite place.
"A resident has already won the first prize you set~"
"Oh? So fast?"
Su Mo raised his eyebrows, showing a little surprise expression.
As a generous lord, he also spent the first New Year in Tianyuan Territory.
Today’s prizes do not include any empty prizes such as ‘Thank you for your patronage’. As long as you hold a resident ID card and participate in the event, you can get a guaranteed set of well-fitting clothes.
As you participate in more activities, the points you get accumulate to a sufficient standard.
The upward rewards are also divided into several different levels.
The fifth prize is a handy tool. The quota is limited to 10,000 people. You can redeem it at the logistics office after getting the coupon.
The fourth prize is a third-generation wolf crossbow signed by the territory and fire weapons store, worth five Tianyuan copper coins, and the quota is limited to 5,000 people.
The third prize is a voucher. The quota is limited to 3,000 people. They can purchase materials with an amount of no more than ten copper coins at the logistics office.
At first glance, these three rewards may seem quite "junk" and not as exciting as imagined.
But in fact, from the moment the event rewards were announced, the excited discussions almost never stopped.
Just kidding, everyone’s current salary for a normal day’s work is about 23 iron coins.
Leaving aside consumption such as eating, drinking, drinking, etc., all that can be saved is only 4-6 iron coins.
To buy a third-generation wolf crossbow, ordinary people have to save up for half a month before they can grit their teeth and spend it.
Now you can suddenly get one directly through the event.
Thinking about the money saved can be used to buy other more valuable things in the future, or to buy furniture when you own a house of your own in the future.
This is so cool!
As for the first, second and third prizes above, except for a small number of competitive players who value them, most people actually take them lightly.
After all, starting from the third prize, the quota limit has dropped sharply to 500 people, a probability of 1/20.
If you think about it with your buttocks, you also know that it is extremely difficult.
Of course, it’s not that they are not greedy, but that most people can’t use the rewards for the time being.
For example, the third prize is a "Gentleman-01" assault rifle.
This assault rifle newly developed by Kuangren Weapons Factory uses the latest fourth-generation strong iron technology.
The high-recovery barrel can effectively accumulate kinetic energy, reducing the critical strike frequency of the gun to 'five shots once'.
At the fifth shot, the power of the bullet will increase by 220%, reaching a level comparable to that of a medium- and large-caliber sniper rifle.
When the burst mode is turned on, the power of this Gentleman 01 rifle is even more terrifying.
From the very beginning, the Doomsday Madman developed the Wind Bird helicopter as an imaginary enemy.
According to him, as long as the aircraft dares to fly within a distance of two hundred meters at low altitude, this rifle will be a nightmare-level existence.
As long as a critical bullet hits a weak point in the armor, you can immediately enjoy the scene of machine destruction and death.
However, for ordinary people, this thing cannot be bought and sold freely.
In fact, there is no such thing as a handy tool.
They don’t even have a gun license, so they have to keep their guns in a safekeeping place in the village until they get the license before they can take them back.
For the second prize, the quota limit is further reduced, with only 300 remaining.
This prize is quite interesting. When it was announced in the territory announcement a few days ago, there was a wave of crowdfunding for names.
In the end, the ‘Eye in the Sky’ provided by ‘Want Candy’ received the highest number of votes and became the name of this device.
But there are also many people who think this name is too artistic and is extremely troublesome to call it.
So privately, everyone gave the device a nickname:
‘Life and death machine’. The moral is very simple, where there is opportunity, there is opportunity, and when there is death, opportunity is destroyed.
The life-and-death machine bound to residents' biological information will immediately enter self-destruction mode as soon as it detects the disappearance of biological signs.
The internal circuit board will be burned out instantly under high voltage, leaving only layers of encrypted micro-storage devices.
Read the information in the device, and you can see the entire process before the wearer's death.
Getting it means the difference between life and death.
There are three hundred SS machines. According to the announced functions, the most suitable ones are naturally scavengers who like to go out and explore.
For the residents living in the territory, the ability to digitize currency is certainly desirable, but it is not yet indispensable.
In addition, you can still communicate in the chat channel in the game, and the chat software that comes with the SS machine is not so attractive.
Its destination is naturally those who are in urgent need now.
Anyway, everyone will slowly obtain the territory in the future, and there is no rush to get it now.
As for the first prize, the prizes are even simpler, and there are only ten places.
Wasteland Combat Set.
This is a customized suit that can be equipped from head to toe. The production process will only start after measuring the winner's information.
It includes a complete set of biological combat suits, high-plastic protective helmets, tactical shields, a Gentleman 01 assault rifle, a Terminator 01 sniper rifle, and an SS machine.
The application scope of this thing is even narrower, and it is useless for non-combat players to get it.
Counting and counting, there are only a few people who can use the territory.
“Who got it?”
“It’s Li Hu. Minister Li Hu got full marks in all three shooting competitions.”
“This is the award. Picture.”
The AR projection was spread out in front of him. Li Hu, who was holding a rifle in his hand, bared his yellow teeth and smiled like a child.
The other guards standing next to him were full of admiration, as if they didn't expect that he still had this ability.
"Okay, let's look at the other people."
Su Mo was dumbfounded and gave up asking for details.
In fact, it was Li Hu who proposed the three shooting competitions today.
I didn't expect that I was going to act cool just for now.
Yes, with the emergence of the route system, the ordinary guards in the village guard team appear frequently.
With the addition of routes, their previous weaknesses have been made up, making their strengths more prominent.
If Li Hu wants to suppress these people, he must show stronger abilities.
As the Ar projection screen in front of him continued to switch, more and more contestants flashed in front of Somo.
Those who can participate in activities at the beginning are basically confident in their own abilities.
After watching it for a while, Sumo turned off the projection and rubbed his temples.
“Have they already guessed that we have a special prize?”
“It’s very possible. Do you need Number Zero to eavesdrop on their conversation?”
“That’s still the case. Forget it, it’s okay, just guess it, there are only five stations anyway.”
There are limits on the number of places for the first, second and third prizes. If you participate in the event late, you may miss the opportunity because the number of places is full.
But now let’s not talk about others, let’s talk about the four scavengers.
The four guys were sitting at the breakfast stall, not in a hurry at all. They obviously already knew some inside information.
Yes, the special prize is the exoskeleton armor!
The big thing I bought from the Red Spider Caravan before it left.
It's just that compared to the original shabby exoskeleton, the current exoskeleton has been secretly equipped with a Pillar of Creation structure.
Although it is only a single column, the weight it can carry has suddenly increased by nearly three times.
And the internal energy supply has also been changed from the extremely dangerous power battery to the energy stone battery.
Wearing it, even ordinary people with no physical strength can instantly transform into land tanks, and those who choose the battle route can gain exponential increases in strength.
As this special prize, only the top five people with the highest scores will be awarded.
Sumo originally planned to announce the news at the end of the event at nine o'clock in the evening, but since it had been leaked, he simply stopped pretending.
"Okay, send a message to Chen Shen and ask him to announce it at twelve o'clock."
Does it matter who is rewarded?
Of course not important.
As long as they are residents of the territory, there is no problem even if it is given to the indigenous people.
Being able to achieve the top five points in the event can 100% prove their potential and strength.
It is worth mentioning that the Barren Bone Village also held a New Year ceremony today as the local customs do.
Although for them, today is still more than a hundred days before Blue Star's New Year.
But the poor wanderers have never experienced the festival officially, and even if they have been there officially, they don’t know how to live it.
So after all, Huang Xiong simply sent people to find Chen Shen to get some scriptures and went back, and also held a similar activity in Huang Bone Village.
It’s just about the prize setting
The best first prize is just a big bag of potatoes.
But this can already make the residents of Barren Bone Village who are afraid of poverty so excited that they can’t sleep all night.
"Happy New Year, Lord, here is your breakfast!"
At the time when Somo usually got up, a hearty breakfast was delivered from the village cafeteria.
The rice rolls are as thin as paper and exude a strong rice fragrance, making people salivate.
The eight-treasure porridge is mixed with several kinds of beans unique to the wasteland. It is thick and silky, and it makes people lick their fingers just looking at it.
Coupled with a few stacks of exquisite side dishes, this breakfast can only be described as luxurious.
It’s just.
“It’s a pity that no one gave me anything to celebrate the New Year today.”
Carrying breakfast, he came to the dining table and sat down.
Sumo entered the territory chat channel, browsing the above messages, and complained loudly with a smile.
Everyone was thanking him for being so generous as a lord, almost blowing rainbow farts into the sky.
But in fact
Suddenly, there was a ding-dong sound.
Hearing a strange but familiar cold female voice ringing in his ears, Sumo couldn't help but froze at the table.
'It has been detected that the host 'Suma' has successfully survived in the wasteland for 365 days, meeting the first stage requirements of the survival system'
'Upgrade information is being obtained'
'Congratulations to the host 'Suma', the survival system will start a shutdown update, and the update time will be 48 hours. ’
‘This updated version is the survival system v.1.1. You will not be able to use any system functions during the update period, but the existing passive functions will continue to operate normally. Do you want to start the update immediately? ’
‘Please note that after updating to v1.1, the current version’s reward currency ‘survival points’ will no longer be 100% applicable. Hosts are requested to use it in advance to avoid waste. ’
‘Please note that after updating to v1.1, the survival system will officially open permissions to better match the current needs of the host. ’
