[The large-scale event of the second stage of the Salty Field Game, "Doorway Battle," is about to begin, so stay tuned]

[The final interpretation right of the above content belongs to the Salty Field Game]

The above is the system message that Li Ang and all players on Earth received.

"Phew..."

Li Ang heavily lay down on his sofa, looking at the transparent words floating in his vision, his brow slightly wrinkled.

After months of silence, the Salty Field Game finally had big news that could be called a blockbuster. These descriptions cannot be overemphasized no matter how they are interpreted.

"First of all, there are the opening conditions for the second stage,"

Li Ang rubbed the bridge of his nose and said slowly, "At this stage, 1% of the players have been promoted to Lv20 or above.

Although official institutions such as the Special Affairs Bureau have never spoken, and opinions on the current number of players on the forum vary,

However, most opinions believe that the current total number of players should be between 50,000 and 100,000."

"This number..."

Chai Da Xiaojie, who was rarely serious, sat upright, suspended opposite the sofa, and frowned, "Is it a lot or a little?"

"For the total population of the earth, of course, it is too small. After all, there is only one player for every 100,000 people."

Li Ang said lightly, "However, transcendents will attract each other.

The thirst for knowledge and power,

The pursuit of anomalous events,

The desire for power and wealth,

Will make players instinctively approach each other.

Considering this, 50,000 to 100,000 is not too small, enough to form a miniature transcendent community.

Moreover, the notice also said that it will gradually expand the selection range of players and increase the selection frequency.

In other words, in the future, the number of players will usher in a new wave of substantial growth."

"Um..."

Chai Chai tilted her head and thought, "The forum should be going crazy right now. Regardless of official institutions, civil organizations, or lone wolf players,

The influx of a large number of player qualifications will definitely have an impact on the existing pattern."

"Yes."

Li Ang nodded, "Let's consider this issue later.

One percent of 50,000 to 100,000 people, that is, 500 to 1,000 people have been promoted to Lv20.

These 1,000 Lv20s should all be people who became players a few months earlier than me.

I am now Lv15 and soon Lv16. As long as I experience two or three more missions, I can be promoted to Lv20.

In other words, the experience gap between me and the first echelon is not that big.

My overall upgrade speed is already very fast."

"What a matter of course, confident self-praise."

Chai Chai rolled her eyes, "What about strength?"

"In terms of strength, I should also be considered in the first echelon... right?"

Li Ang scratched his cheeks uncertainly, "I mainly haven't fought other players with all my strength, so I don't know the specific strength of the first echelon players.

Tsk, this is the disadvantage of being a lone wolf player. When I want to practice, I can't even find a sandbag..."

"If I were your sandbag, my ashes would be gone directly, wouldn't they?"

Chai Da Xiaojie thought about the brute force in Li Ang's body and couldn't help but complain, "Didn't the system notice say that the Arena would be opened? If the Arena doesn't kill people, you should be able to fight happily."

"Maybe."

Li Ang nodded, "Let me see, besides the Arena,

The Game Plaza, Physical Store, Personal Space, Player Shop, Friend Team, and Guild will also be opened.

The Game Plaza is easy to understand. It is a plaza for players to log in and out.

The Physical Store should be the physical version of the mall shelves, with Salty Field Game's own NPCs selling more and richer game products.

Personal Space should be a small room on the Game Plaza for players to use as a warehouse.

Player Shop, this is a bit interesting.

Looking at the system's explanation, it allows players to open their own shop in a certain area of ​​the Game Plaza, provide services to other players, and earn commissions—

The premise is that you have to buy the ownership of that piece of land,

You also have to buy the construction materials yourself, or make them yourself."

"Players opening their own shops..."

Chai Chai's eyes lit up, "It sounds promising! It is estimated that you can make a lot of money. Have you thought about what kind of shop you want to open?"

"What's the hurry, I didn't say I wanted to open one."

Li Ang waved his hand and said, "The system notification did not mention the specific price of the land and the detailed rules for opening a shop,

But if I had to choose, I would probably open an all-encompassing Odd Jobs Store, right?

Provide a variety of professional services,

Including but not limited to recycling transcendent materials, accepting customized forging props, selling goods, beauty and hairdressing, plastic surgery,

Occasionally, can I also do minor body modification surgeries for customers who come to the door?"

Li Ang said uncertainly, "Um... I can't say what level of service I can provide. It depends on the time,

The level of the shops opened by other forces on the plaza."

Li Ang hadn't performed body modification surgery on living people for a long time.

Although bugs are fun, playing with bugs all day long,

There is always something wrong.

After all, low-intelligence bugs have difficulty expressing their feelings and thoughts, and it is also difficult for them to exert 100% of the potential of the mutated body according to Li Ang's meaning.

Biological modified weapons, of course, must have high-frequency user feedback in order to continuously improve.

"Yes, yes, I believe you. A barber who doesn't want to be a blacksmith is not a good doctor."

Chai Da Xiaojie nodded in agreement. Anyway, she was already dead and was a non-substantial spiritual body.

She didn't care at all about what exaggerated, bizarre, and malicious body modifications Li Ang would make to ignorant customers who came to the door.

Chai Chai asked, "What about player teams and guilds?"

"Player teams..."

Li Ang looked at the detailed rules and explained, "Probably two players of similar levels can enter the same script mission as friends. Both parties share the cooling time of the script mission.

This function is quite humane,

And it has not completely erased the meaning of the existence of rescue signals and other props - rescue signals other than directly calling people can also be used in the team mode."
