Chapter 822: Chapter 302: Version 1.5 Patch Notes

However, in recent days, the forum of the manor has been quite lively. Ning Zheng, although not fully focused on it, just glanced at it occasionally.

But they seemed to be having a lot of fun, and they mapped out new various functions for the manor.

A new bulletin board was placed in the manor square, with new functions as follows:

[Official Announcement: The Sword Casting Competition will undergo a major offline update with the release of version 1.5. The update log is as follows.]

[A spaceship named the Chronicles of Time is traveling, and a map of the idle Otherworld has appeared. The idle babies in the Otherworld will become kings and ancestors!]

[In this idle mode, they will return in the near future to conquer the world, possibly participating in the ultimate Sacrificial Era showdown in the Nine-State, battling historical fearsome masterminds. Who will win or lose?]

...

[This significant update also optimizes the following items.]

[1. Added a new public area map, the Metal Tomb world, and included but not limited to materials like the Metal Divine Power Stone, etc., from the Otherworld.]

[2. Fixed a few bugs.]

[3. Optimized several known issues.]

[4. This expansion pack will open a nostalgia version, with new idle adventure teams heading to mysterious unknown maps in the Otherworld. What are you waiting for?]

[5. The "couple" nostalgia mailbox system is back online. After disappearing from the women’s prison at the foot of the mountain, it is no longer possible to communicate via letters, losing our love! But now, to compensate everyone, the planners have opened a whole new message mode, where another self...is the real pure love. Please become pen pals with your Otherworld self and share experiences.]

[6. The nostalgia mining system is back online. We have optimized this version. In the original mountain cave, we created new Golden Mud veins. Just throw in the corresponding metal to absorb it, and you can mine, bringing the hard-working miners back.]

[7. The combat monster map is online. We will regularly open the manor’s entrance, allowing the Ember tides from the ocean outside to rush in, realizing a monster siege mode to hone your combat skills.]

...

In the endless deep sea, it is dark and lightless.

The Ten Thousand Feet Sea Abyss is a huge crevice, bottomless, with increasing water pressure as one goes deeper.

A gap appeared at the corner of the Sword Casting Manor, with special aromatic flesh and blood placed there, luring a school of Ember Fish.

Swish, swish!

These fish rushed into the ghost villages under Sword Casting Manor, wandering outside Ning Zheng’s courtyard continuously.

As the concentration of embers increased, tens of thousands of Ember tides gradually climbed from the village at the mountain’s foot to the manor at the peak.

"The monster siege has begun!"

"Attack!"

"Damn, there’s a Three Elements Realm boss!"

"There are actually two!"

A group of blacksmiths, fully equipped, began to fight monsters and level up. In their eyes, this was the opening of a combat map.

This kind of gameplay is indeed quite interesting.

But Ning Zheng found it somewhat unfriendly, as he looked at the crowded alleys outside of his courtyard, filled with the fish wandering alongside his fellow villagers, impacting his mood.

"Why let them all in?"

But Ning Jiaojiao was quite happy, defending the courtyard and continuously killing embers.

So Ning Zheng didn’t bother with it.

Whether it was Ning Jiaojiao or these blacksmiths in the mountains, practicing combat skills was always a good thing.

Moreover, the blacksmiths have been frantically leveling up recently, showing some strength. As long as it didn’t affect their regular work, entertainment was entirely acceptable.

At noon.

The third warehouse, deployed!

At this point, Ning Zheng achieved an exaggerated 33 million Qi Fortune Value daily!

[Current Qi Fortune Value: 152 million]

In this situation, Ning Zheng could try updating the Five Elements Spirit Root.

But with the lesson from the painter’s ambush, he dared not spend all his savings.

"Continue to wait!"

...

Ning Zheng hid in the shadows for another week.

The outside world remained lively.

The Luan Body Tomb has largely been conquered and subsequently closed.

Publicly announced: "Next month, the Golden Man Dynasty Imperial Mausoleum will open!"

The world stirred again, and people’s discussions were spectacular.

But Ning Zheng merely went to Ximen City, shouted a few slogans in Bone Demon Royal City, and let the blacksmiths continue managing the city.

The blacksmiths were also extremely busy, bustling around.

That batch of Magic Coins made a fortune, but now in Ximen City, after researching several new Cultivation Assistance Magical Artifacts with Doukou Hong and others, huge profits surged again.

In just one week, Xirong Manor’s revenue multiplied by 2.4 times, quite astonishing!

The neighboring Bone Demon Royal City refused to be outdone.

It began a military competition, furthering the explosion of the Immortal Path Civilization era. Hongmeng and the Eye of Identification continued their updates, spreading nationwide. Standard Weapons factories were speeding up construction.

In response, the technological battle between the Human Race and the Sea Race was full of trash talk.

Ximen City, in collaboration with Doukou Hong and others, Dizzy, the person in charge, taunted: "Your Sea Race can’t match the auxiliary Cultivation Immortal Artifacts we and Doukou Hong have opened!"

Bone Demon Imperial Palace’s chief steward Yan Shuangying responded: "Your auxiliary Cultivation Magical Artifacts will soon be ours! We will set up production plants to ambush you!"

Medical Fairy also stood up to advocate: "With the emergence of the standard factory era, I suggest we must establish copyright systems to prevent some shameless thieves from stealing the creators’ efforts, as it will discourage cultivators keen on exploring new systems!"

As technology broke out in various fields, the two sides began to quarrel, and because of the popularization of the standard Magical Artifact factories, a massive copyright movement was launched.

Ning Zheng still ate popcorn: "....."

They are quite lively, aren’t they?

On the other side.

The Night Emperor, within a week, equivalently within seven hundred years, completed the third sermon and began constructing a Divine Artifact.

But this Divine Artifact is not an ordinary National Guardian Divine Artifact that can be built overnight.

This is a Celestial Vein.

In the future, it will connect to every living being.

Back then, for the spread of Earth Vein, Jiu Shui paved roads crazily, covering the entire Nine-State with extensive trunk lines. The whole country was engaged in infrastructure construction, spending thousands of years.

The difficulty of creating this Celestial Vein will only increase.

And here, too, was full of trash talk.

Daojiu: "The last batch of Golden Mud, this batch needs to increase again? No way, we are at our wit’s end! We have no more to squeeze out!"

Opposite Daojiu: "I will add money."

Daojiu: "That works!"

The two sides communicated every day through letters, transactions, discussing how to craft the Divine Weapons on my side and your Divine Weapons on yours. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Ning Zheng continued to eat popcorn: "....."

They are really busy.

Furthermore, the Pseudo-human Calamity and Embers Disaster outside have erupted once again, causing varying levels of casualties worldwide.

Ning Zheng still ate popcorn: "....."

The Virus that Disrespect Elders and the Virus that Disregards Youth even joined in the fun.

Ning Zheng nearly spent every day staying out of trouble while eating popcorn.

Quietly observing the world undergo intense changes, each blacksmith silently working at their post, posting on forums, leveling up by fighting monsters, mining for resources...

The entire online game indeed seems to have gone completely on track.

Fully automated operation!

Of course, this wouldn’t be possible without the help of the game’s built-in server—Nine Chapters.

Now, this AI, Jiucai Rong, can allocate daily tasks by itself, providing daily strategic guidelines to Ximen City and Bone Demon Royal City.

Moreover, it is worth mentioning that they’ve been busy stealing Hongmeng’s AI training data recently.

Even Ning Zheng marvels at how terrifying this group of geniuses is; they claim not to roll, yet they roll harder than anyone.

Have they no concern for their life? Surely they’ll die from exhaustion, right? How do they manage to handle multiple tasks simultaneously every day without chaos?

They even have the energy to level up by fighting monsters.

"The whole world is busy, and I’m the only one relaxed. This feeling is quite nice." Ning Zheng thoroughly enjoys these days of life, counting his cash bags every day.

Daily +33 million, still growing crazily, he could continue to live like this for a lifetime.

And as facts prove, with Ning Zheng’s Qi Fortune reaching up to 5 million daily, as long as he avoids courting disaster and provoking the painter, indeed no one bothers him despite the outside world’s fierce battles, and his days pass peacefully.

Quietly developing in the shadows and surprising everyone at the last moment...feels absolutely amazing!

Additionally, another shocking piece of news arrived.

Three days later, Xin Xichen began preaching in the Capital City, announcing a new Cultivation Technique:

[Five Elements Cycle Dharma Method]

This news shook Ning Zheng, who had been quietly eating popcorn and saving money - a proper Five Elements Cycle Cultivation Technique has finally been released?

After waiting for so long, he finally revealed it.
