Chapter 942: Chapter 348: Return, Third Version Update (Bonus Chapter 1)_3

So every day, the number of people online in the chat channel decreases a little.

Although it’s not like at the beginning, with tens of thousands dying every day, losing a hundred or two hundred a day is still normal.

The same is likely true for other zones, and perhaps the online numbers are even smaller there.

Cao Xing showed a thoughtful expression.

“I didn’t expect that just after one week of stability, the System’s third update is about to make big moves again; it really doesn’t seem to give us survivors much room to breathe.”

In fact, up until now, everyone has realized it.

The updates of the Lord System come one wave after another, forcing people to desperately adapt.

Under such high-intensity pressure, although the mortality rate is high, the survivors who can adapt and persist will also have an extremely fast growth rate.

From the fact that many survivors have already reached Level 20 and broken through to the third-tier,

you can see that natives of this world need to train hard for at least a dozen years to achieve third-tier strength.

Those with extraordinary talent, geniuses, or nobles might need a shorter time, but still several months to a few years.

Yet, only a month and a half has passed since their arrival in this world, not even two months.

It’s imaginable how astonishing this growth speed is.

After analyzing the first update, Cao Xing began to analyze the content of the second update.

Which is — Merging.

“This time, five major zones are merging into one, meaning each large zone will have roughly one million people, right?”

He quickly understood the reason.

As survivors gradually grow stronger, the area they explore becomes larger.

The previous zones can no longer satisfy their exploration needs.

(PS: Before merging zones, survivors couldn’t reach the areas of other zones as the map edges were blocked by an air wall, as mentioned before.)

Therefore, this time the zones combined again, directly raising the population of large zones to one million, while also significantly expanding the map.

Then, there came updates on new challenge content.

The previous challenges mostly revolved around the Ice Nest.

Though these challenges came with considerable difficulty,

risks and opportunities coexist.

Successfully overcoming a challenge can yield numerous opportunities and resources, thus strengthening overall power.

If one fails, naturally the consequences could range from severe losses to the destruction of the territory.

As previously mentioned, these challenges are introduced to help survivors quickly adapt to this world and enhance their abilities.

So, everyone is still very much looking forward to the new challenges.

Lastly, Cao Xing noticed two pieces of information about the [Points Store] and [Golden Points Store].

“This Points Store should be different from the Giant Dragon Store.”

“With each update, the system adds many powerful items to the store, and this Points Store is probably no exception.”

“As for the Golden Points Store, it’s likely a more special kind of store, perhaps containing some unique items?”

Cao Xing speculated on these, having roughly formed a vague concept of the upcoming updates.

This Construction Week, he considers his development fairly decent.

The territory welcomed a second wave of expansion.

Meanwhile, both his personal strength and the strength of his soldiers achieved rapid growth.

Though he can’t claim to stand at the pinnacle of the tens of billions of survivors, he should be among the elite.

Therefore, regarding the upcoming new version, Cao Xing felt no fear; quite the opposite, he was very excited!

He feared not chaos but stagnation!

As long as one can seize opportunities in such chaos, anyone has a chance to rise like a comet!

“Let’s go, heading back.”

“Moo—”

Da Bai made a happy sound, bringing Cao Xing and Liu Muxue back to the base of the Wall in the territory.

Once inside the territory, the gate recognized his identity and opened automatically.

Even though it was just dawn, the staff had already gotten up early.

They had also learned from Rab’s mouth that the Lord would return today.

So everyone woke up early, hoping to be the first to welcome the Lord’s return. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novel_fіre.net

And indeed, their timing was just right.

“The Lord has returned!”

Someone shouted.

Instantly, hundreds of eyes turned simultaneously, looking through the streets of the territory towards the buffer zone outside.

There, a group of formidable figures was slowly walking towards them!

At this moment, everyone’s spirits lifted, and they couldn’t help but straighten up, presenting their best stance to greet the Lord’s return.

When Cao Xing arrived at the central square of the territory, he directly hopped off Da Bai’s back with Liu Muxue!

At the same time, the subject Cao Yi was the first to shout:

“Lord, Lord’s Wife, and brave warriors, welcome back victorious!”
