Free Web NovelChapter 1085: Chapter 1055: Update Turmoil
"It’s updated, it’s updated!" In the courtyard of Lin Yi’s villa, the incredibly cool Guo Shaojie excitedly announced to everyone.
Since the game went offline for updates yesterday, it has been over 12 hours.
But even after 12 hours has passed, there was still no sign of movement on the official website, and even the end time for the update was continuously postponed.
At the start when the update announcement was posted, the official estimated time was only six hours.
But when six hours passed, countless players tried to log into the game only to find it still in the closed state.
When players went to the official website to check, the update time had changed from six hours to twelve hours.
Initially, not many people paid too much attention.
Since it was midnight at that time, most people were already asleep.
Therefore, the delay in update time did not cause too much impact worldwide.
Because once everyone realized they couldn’t log into the game, they just went back to bed to sleep.
However, when people set their alarm clocks for 6 AM the next day to prepare to fight in the game again.
They suddenly discovered that the completion time for the update had changed to:
"Subject to actual boot-up time."
Such a brief nine words instantly extinguished all expectations and enthusiasm.
This change also caused a considerable uproar worldwide.
You know this was the first time such a situation occurred since the game began testing.
Just as everyone surged to ask the official progress, the official response was only two large red letters: "Wait!" frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
Given the official’s stance and players already knowing the game’s official’s temperament, naturally, they couldn’t continue making a fuss.
But the inability to log into the game caused many people to feel a sense of loss.
It was only at this point that people clearly realized that unknowingly this game had already become an inseparable part of most people’s lives.
Many people, unable to log into the game, felt like they were missing something, empty inside.
To mitigate this feeling of gain and loss.
Therefore, many players flooded to the official game forum, discussing game content with numerous netizens or browsing various strange ’strategies’ in the forum.
And those individual UP hosts who primarily shot videos were surprised to find.
During this short time, the viewing data and content of game videos were growing explosively.
Especially the game discussion posts about "Feng Hua," whose hit rate was astonishing.
Many people took this game server closure update as a rare holiday, with forum-goers almost crashing the official server.
Guo Shaojie was precisely one of those billions of forum users.
After breakfast, Guo Shaojie picked up his computer, idly browsing the game forum while waiting for the game’s latest progress officially.
When a brand new official announcement was updated, Guo Shaojie promptly clicked into it with lightning speed.
Still, even so, Guo Shaojie’s laptop with the current top configuration almost froze.
It indicates how many people surged into it at that moment, causing such lag.
Guo Shaojie couldn’t afford to think more, directly taking a screenshot of the announcement content and quickly backing out.
With Guo Shaojie’s voice, everyone gathered around from the surrounding.
Heaven-Gifted Ouyang Hao curiously asked:
"Is the update completed?"
Guo Shaojie opened his previous announcement screenshot, shaking his head indicating:
"No."
Then everyone looked at the screenshot content, exclaiming with surprise:
"New map?"
At that moment, on the announcement’s homepage, was written:
"Game update completed, new map about to be added:"
"[Demon Forest]"
Map information:
"[Demon Forest] is a BOSS map, please all Chosen Ones tread cautiously."

Recommendation:

...
...
At the end of the announcement, several high-definition aerial views of ’Demon Forest’ were attached.
Everyone was utterly shocked and unable to compose themselves after reading the announcement.
Xiao He Shen Yanhua, beside him, was dumbfounded:
"They actually updated so much."
Ouyang Hao was amazed:
"Updating a new map this quickly, it’s a bit unlike the style of this game’s official."
Then the group started discussing back and forth.
Zhan Chen Zhan Tianpeng said:
"This update is the BOSS’s exclusive map, right?"
"If it’s like what it says above, equipment should be easier to get afterward."
Guo Shaojie, at this moment, thought:
"It seems like the market price of equipment will shrink again."
Shen Yanhua couldn’t help but marvel:
"The official is stirring things up."
"We haven’t even figured out what’s happening on the Demon Race side, and now they’ve thrown this at us."
"By then, everyone will rush to the BOSS map, so who’s going to guard the Demon Race Battlefield?"
Icy illusion city President Mu Lingxue, holding Zhang Xinying’s slender waist, remarked:
"Now the question is whether or not these BOSSes are hard to tackle."
As President, she seemed to consider more than ordinary players.
At this moment Yu Na curiously asked:
"Those adventurers mentioned in the announcements, aren’t they the original inhabitants of the Nine Nether Continent?"
Lin Yi once said that world is a real world.
If those adventurers are truly the original residents of the Nine Nether Continent, would it be a significant disaster for the people of the Nine Nether Continent?
Obviously, everyone guessed Yu Na’s implication, causing a momentary pause among them.
Shangguan Yue, seeing this, hurriedly changed the subject:
"I just wonder if after this we can play in the Nine Nether Continent’s city like Feng Lao said."
"He mentioned that something in Jialan City, coconut bun is very fragrant, I wonder if that’s true."
Indeed, Shangguan Yue’s topic attracted everyone, and Guo Shaojie directly denied Shangguan Yue’s speculation:
"That’s probably a bit far-fetched."
"It mentioned a ’New World’ version above, I suspect that version will truly open up the whole Nine Nether Continent."
At this moment, Jade Qilin Ian suddenly appeared from behind Guo Shaojie:
"Hey, isn’t this that forest in the Nine Nether?"
The crowd immediately perked up upon hearing this, Guo Shaojie promptly asked:
"Is this really ’Demon Forest’ from the Nine Nether Continent?"
Jade Qilin Ian nodded her little head:
"No mistake, this is Nine Nether."
Jade Qilin jumped into Guo Shaojie’s arms, pointing to a mountain in one of the images with her little paw:
"That mountain is called Jade Peak Mountain."
"There are lots of tasty things inside, I used to sneak there to nick~take food."
"However, there’s an eccentric old man living in the mountain; if you plan to go, you’d better think it over before heading there."
Jade Qilin tilted her head, scrutinizing the images:
"How strange."
"How do you have these photos?"
"Did the Little Master take them for you?"
"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing."
Just after speaking, Jade Qilin was swiftly lifted by Guo Shaojie:
"Alright, go play over there."
Jade Qilin, dissatisfied, sniffed her nose, let out a cold snort and muttered:
"Should I tell them there’s a big guy there?"
But seeing everyone crowded around the computer, Jade Qilin shook her head:
"Forget it."
"They can’t get there anyway."
