The Fourth Disaster: People become gods through high martial arts and gaming

Chapter 302 New Version Major Update 2.0 (Thanks to DARIUS___ for the generous alliance leader)
"Finally finished."

Lin Qi looked at the system notification below his field of vision and sighed inwardly.

It's really not easy to upgrade from Level 2 to Level 3 administrator privileges.

System: This upgrade to Level 3 administrator privileges will take 32 hours. Once the upgrade is confirmed, all players will be forcibly logged out 32 hours after 15 minutes. Other system functions will not be affected.

System: Confirm whether to upgrade administrator privileges?
"Does the time required for upgrading also increase as the administrator's permission level increases?" Lin Qi looked at the system prompt with some surprise.

Previously, when I was upgraded to a level 2 administrator, the update time was only sixteen hours, but now it has doubled.

Although thirty-two hours is not a big deal for him, after all, the operation of the martial arts school and Red Moon Town mainly relies on the martial arts school disciples, and the players are at most just supporting roles.

However, if an external enemy attacks when the administrator's authority is upgraded in the future, it will definitely be a big problem for Obsidian Martial Arts School.

Fortunately, this upgrade requires a prompt rather than being automatic; otherwise, if administrator privileges were upgraded in the future, the Obsidian Martial Arts School might be destroyed unintentionally.

Lin Qi then checked the time on his smartwatch and chose to upgrade his administrator privileges.

Thirty-two hours is barely enough for him now. Earth Star Pharmaceuticals is not a force in the Fog Mountain region, and traveling back and forth requires crossing domains, which takes more than two days. Meanwhile, the Smiling Skull is scattered throughout the Dead Mountain Range. With one less Demon Ape, the Smiling Skull will definitely need to rearrange its manpower to ensure the safety of its stronghold in the dangerous Dead Mountain Range and to transfer manpower to deal with him. The time it will take will probably be even longer than that of Earth Star Pharmaceuticals.

Therefore, now is the best time to upgrade administrator privileges.

As soon as Lin Qi chose to upgrade, all players received a system notification immediately, requiring them to log off within fifteen minutes. Players who were preparing to log off and rest were stunned.

"What's going on? Why are they forcibly logged off?"

"Is it another major version update?"

"My God! Thirty-two hours! What on earth is going to be updated?"

The players looked at the system notification and started discussing among themselves, wondering what big project the game planners were up to this time, with an update time of thirty-two hours.

"Are you kidding me? Thirty-two hours? How am I supposed to get through tomorrow?" Looking at the thirty-two-hour update time, Yi Ye Fu Yun felt her life was about to be thrown into chaos.

He's now used to spending more than 20 hours online every day. It's fair to say that apart from the occasional deep sleep to refresh himself, eating, drinking, and using the restroom, he lives in the world of "High Martial Arts Descends."

If he were to leave this world for thirty-two hours now, he wouldn't know how to live.

"That's easy. Game updates won't affect the test. I plan to practice the Divine Shock Visualization Technique in the test space all day tomorrow. As long as I get another breakthrough, I should be able to learn those Celestial Realm martial arts techniques even faster." Fang Zhen looked at the bewildered Yi Ye Fuyun with remarkable composure.

This town mission was quite fruitful. Not only did he obtain a Tier 3 weapon dropped by the BOSS, but he also felt it was very necessary to learn the martial arts techniques of the Celestial Realm from the combat video as soon as possible.

Otherwise, it will be difficult to compete with Luo Wushang and Ye Qinglu in future activities or tasks.

While the other players were excitedly discussing what to do during their 32 hours offline, Lin Qi, who had chosen to upgrade his administrator privileges, was completely stunned when he saw the updated Level 3 administrator privileges in the system panel.

"A cap of 200,000! What the heck is that?"

Lin Qi looked at the description of the level 3 administrator permissions and couldn't help but rub his eyes, afraid that he had misread it.

Previously, the increase in player limit from 500 to 4,000 was already quite remarkable when the administrator was upgraded from Level 1 to Level 2.

Now it's even more terrifying, jumping directly from four thousand to two hundred thousand, a complete leap across an entire order of magnitude.

Two hundred thousand players!
Lin Qi felt terrified just thinking about it.

A city with a population of 20 to 30 million might only have 200,000 to 300,000 skilled martial artists, but he can now muster nearly the number of martial artists needed to build a city.

If they could summon them all at once and make them all martial artists, even the Mountain of the Dead wouldn't be impossible to conquer. Besides the dramatic increase in the player limit, the Level 3 administrator privileges now not only allow for the creation of advanced training rooms, enabling even Bone Forging Realm martial artists to fight to their hearts' content, but also provide an additional building.

Elementary Martial Arts Training Room!
The renovation of this basic training room alone cost one million units of energy and ten thousand energy crystals. The renovation space is a separate room of at least ten thousand square meters, and the room must be made of alloy of C2 grade or above. It consumes ten energy crystals per hour just to start it up.

The basic training room is also incredibly powerful, allowing people to fight freely under up to 100 times the normal gravity.

Given that it is difficult to achieve tempering and improvement in the Bone Forging Realm and Blood Coagulation Realm, fighting in a high-gravity environment is something that warriors in the Bone Forging Realm and Blood Coagulation Realm dream of.

Simply training under high gravity can enhance the body's tempering effect. Using martial arts techniques to further push and temper the body is something that is unthinkable. After all, any gravity chamber is a crystallization of technology. Maintaining gravity is already difficult enough, let alone withstanding the impact of martial arts techniques. It is simply impossible.

It's like some players who, for no reason, want to use their martial arts skills in the gravity chamber, will definitely kill that person.

But now the beginner's training room has perfectly solved this problem, allowing martial artists to perform freely in a high-gravity environment, and even fight against each other, which is simply amazing.

However, compared to the beginner training room, the improvement in player attire is even more terrifying.

Level 3 basic clothing increases the maximum number of death resurrection points to four, adds a training function, and allows the coat to weigh up to 100 tons. It can be worn or removed, and each player needs 5,000 units of energy to upgrade.

The level 3 special clothing has been further improved in terms of attributes, from a small increase to a maximum of a medium increase, and the number of attributes has increased to two. Each player needs to consume five energy crystals and 10,000 units of energy to upgrade.

The upgrades to the two player outfits are incredibly powerful.

Basic outfits allow players to reach new heights in the future, while special outfits are simply a must-have for the wealthy. The dual-attribute effect is comparable to the three-star club in his hand, so there's no need to worry about players not being proactive in earning points and contributing in the future.

When Lin Qi checked how the administrator's permissions had been upgraded to level four, he almost swore.

Level 4 administrator privileges require one hundred players at or above the mid-stage of the Blood Coagulation Realm and fifty thousand players at or above the mid-stage of the Bone Forging Realm, with the number of martial arts school disciples reaching twenty million.

Fifty thousand players at the mid-stage of the Bone Forging Realm or above are manageable; as long as there are enough energy potions, it's just a matter of time. But one hundred players at the mid-stage of the Blood Coagulation Realm or above are going too far.

In the entire Misty Mountain region, excluding the Domain City, there are probably fewer than a hundred martial artists at the mid-level of the Blood Condensation Realm or above.

Once a martial artist reaches the Blood Condensation Realm, they need Energy Blood Essence to improve their physical attributes. Without Energy Blood Essence, even the most skilled training methods are useless.

One hundred players at or above the mid-level of the Blood Coagulation Realm means he has to raise one hundred Blood Coagulation Realm players to the mid-level, and the energy and blood essence required for this is astronomical.

As for the 20 million martial arts school disciples, the plan is simply to make him change careers, stop being the school owner, and make him a bandit who robs and steals people.

"Each player has 1,000 units of energy, so 200,000 players would require 200,000 tons of energy ore. Level 3 basic clothing requires 5,000 units of energy per player, so each player needs 5 tons of energy ore, and 200,000 players would require 1 million tons of energy ore. Level 3 special clothing requires 2 million tons of energy ore and 1 million energy crystals. It seems that the small energy veins in Crimson Moon Town are completely insufficient, and we must find new energy veins as soon as possible." Looking at his current Level 3 administrator privileges, Lin Qi didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

The small energy veins at the foot of Crimson Moon Mountain are almost exhausted. After all, the reserves of a small energy vein are guaranteed to be at least three million tons. The previous construction of the martial arts school, the building of the cultivation tower, and the expansion of Crimson Moon Town have almost depleted the small energy veins.

Giving him 200,000 player slots now would certainly greatly increase the strength of the Obsidian Martial Arts School, but the supply of energy ore is clearly not keeping up.

Even the player rest areas he had prepared before are only allowed to accommodate a maximum of 8,000 people, not even a fraction of 200,000.

"Looks like we'll have to start a new way to play."

After thinking for a moment, Lin Qi immediately drafted a system announcement and posted it directly on the official forum.

System Announcement: To thank our users for their support of this game and to allow more users to experience it, our company has decided to launch a new major version of the closed beta, "High Martial Arts Descends: Closed Beta Version 2.0 - A New Era of Expansion." The maximum number of players has been increased to 8,000, and three additional domain maps have been unlocked. This update will take 32 hours.

The announcement caused a huge stir on the forum.
