Chapter 136: Chapter 121: Shop System and Newbies Online (Super Chapter)
Blue Star, official forum of Descent of High Martial.
With the official version update post pinned, players who were crazily discussing the Red Moon Mountain defense battle couldn’t resist but clicked in to check it out.
Version Update 1.11 Announcement.
Update content: Fixed some bugs in the game, optimized the scene of the Red Moon Mountain map and player entry restrictions. To attract more users, new gameplay has been added, specific contents are as follows.
1, Added 50 more test players.
2, Shop system launched, Red Moon Mountain will open shop purchase rights in three days, after owning a shop, players can freely sell various items, can hire NPCs for daily management, there’s a higher chance to attract NPCs to buy products. (Note: The Martial Arts Hall only charges a 10% tax on shop earnings)
3, Players no longer need to reach Apprentice Level to go to Red Moon Mountain, just being a prospective apprentice is enough. (Note: Red Moon Mountain is a dangerous outdoor map, not recommended to visit at low levels.)
...
"This game company is just too diligent, it’s only been a few days and they’ve updated with new content again. This is definitely the most hardworking game company I’ve seen. Hurry up and give me a play slot, I’m definitely playing this game."
"Damn, they’ve opened the shop system this time, those who love the business gameplay are in for a treat, though the 10% tax is a bit of a pitfall."
"You think a 10% tax is a pitfall? You probably don’t know how high the tax for setting up a stall in Red Moon Mountain is, selling any item incurs a 20% tax, it’s unbearable."
"But this shop is really cool, you can even hire NPCs to manage it. I wonder if you can hire pretty women. If you can, I want to hire ten and lie down making money every day."
"Bro, do you want some armor pieces for those hairy Gorilla beauties? I have a lot here, I can sell them cheaply to you."
...
The sudden version update on the official forum had everyone, whether veteran players or new ones, buzzing with excitement. Especially new players, each felt that this new version was simply amazing.
Previously, going to the new map Red Moon Mountain required becoming an Apprentice, but now just being a prospective apprentice suffices, allowing new players to earn Points faster. Additionally, with the opening of the shop system, new players will be able to buy cheaper weapons and equipment, getting to experience using them earlier, which also speeds up their combat power improvement significantly.
The one somewhat disadvantageous thing is that in Descent of High Martial, to trade now, you first need to purchase a Smart Watch, otherwise, you can’t trade with other players at all.
"Sister Wu, I’m telling you the truth, behind the Great Ape Gang, there’s a new massive force. According to that female NPC from the Three-Eyed Race, that power is the Gorilla Gang from the outskirts, with unfathomable strength and significant influence in the suburbs. Our Martial Arts Hall might very well clash with the Gorilla Gang." Twilight of the Gods said excitedly.
"According to what you said, this plot could indeed be a subtle version preview hinted at by the game company." Luo Wushang nodded, also becoming quite interested.
"I suspect the game company is playing a big strategic game, especially with the current version update and the opening of the shop system. This can really speed up the newcomers; the game company never does useless things. Doing this might be to better prepare us players to deal with this new enemy force later on." Twilight of the Gods analyzed, "Moreover, quite a number of new players have been added, this new enemy force might open up high-level large team dungeons, requiring quite a few people to strategize."
"I think so too, otherwise there’s no reason for the game company to update the version so quickly." Zhang Qingwei, who was beside them, also agreed, "The strength of Martial Artist Level bosses is obvious, but according to that female NPC from the Three-Eyed Race, this Gorilla Gang has B Level series battle armor that could suppress Martial Artists. With such advanced equipment, the dungeon level must not be low, it’s probably prepared for players who reach the Martial Artist Level to take on high-difficulty team dungeons."
The members of Celestial Might present, upon hearing about high-level equipment, were all excited and thrilled.
B Level series battle armor, no matter how you look at it, is advanced equipment prepared for Martial Artists. If one can be the first to wield it upon becoming a Martial Artist, they’d surely become the number one among players, instantly widening the gap with other forces, enhancing Celestial Might’s prestige and status in Descent of High Martial.
By then, once the guild system in Descent of High Martial opens, Celestial Might can attract more players to join, allowing it to grow faster in the game.
"Furthermore, the Gorilla Gang backing the Great Ape Gang, as a major suburban faction, has strong influence in Chasing Light City, making it difficult for Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall to do business there. Now, with the sudden launch of the shop system allowing players to purchase shops in Red Moon Mountain." Twilight of the Gods continued, "By this development pace, the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall and Gorilla Gang confrontation might just turn Red Moon Mountain into a town, enhancing the Martial Arts Hall’s influence and power. I suggest we buy some prime location shops once they open in three days, as with more players and NPCs, these shops will surely become more valuable."
"Building the first player town?" Luo Wushang pondered deeply for a few seconds, then instructed, "If that’s the case, there are two things we need to do. First, we need to quickly advance to Martial Artist Level, so we can be the first to strategize against the Gorilla Gang ahead of other teams."
