Chapter 234: Chapter 196 Movies and Conversations (9000 Grand Chapter Request for Monthly Tickets)_2

"The new internal test slots will be selected according to the original mechanism.

"Special attention, based on different historical slices, the Return Order Expedition gameplay will differ in the number of players it can accommodate. In some special cases, entering the Return Order Expedition might require screening, so players, please strive to be ahead in your areas of strength.

"In seven days, the game will launch the new version ’How Many Affairs Rise and Fall Through the Ages’, with the specific update contents as follows.

"One, a batch of new talent skills has been unlocked in the Return Order Talent Skill Library, unlocking the ’Geng’ level of skill.

"Two, some talent skills will be unlocked as permanent talents, and permanent talents do not occupy the original talent skill slots.

"Three, the game’s freedom will be greatly enhanced, and in some historical slices, players will be able to clear instances without seeking to reproduce historical authenticity.

"Four, unlock the new instance ’Yet to Speak, Pause’.

"This instance has high flexibility, and players can explore the specifics during gameplay."

...

Players immediately began interpreting the new version update announcement.

It had become their routine.

’Dark Sand’ updates versions very frequently, typically releasing a major instance every two weeks and occasionally squeezing in smaller instances like the Cavalry Trial.

Only the top players can continuously keep up with the updates, and many slower challengers, who haven’t fully grasped the previous instances, find new ones introduced, forcing them to find time to catch up.

And the seven days after clearing an instance is often when most players catch up.

As for the new version update announcement, it usually contains a wealth of information.

Top players, aiming to gain an edge at the start line, need to quickly figure out their approach and study and interpret the update announcement as soon as a new instance opens.

However, after reading this update announcement, some players felt somewhat disappointed.

"How is this update not very impactful?"

"Yes, it looks like mostly routine updates, without any particularly powerful new features."

"At least it went through the entire Great Sheng Dynasty’s instance, couldn’t it bring something more impactful?"

"There are no new heroic summons in the Heroic Summon feature either, can’t they unlock Emperor Taizu of Sheng? If not him, at least General Gu Yuan could be an option."

"And there are no new affiliate identities unlocked, it seems like Cavalry will be the only option for a while."

"No worries, the version updates quite fast, maybe in two weeks there will be new features."

"This time actually there’s quite a lot of foundational content updates, the Return Order Talent Skill Library is expanded, the skill level has been increased by one, the number of players increased directly by forty thousand to one hundred thousand, and the artisans and merchants in the Return Order Citadel have also refreshed their product lists, which could greatly boost combat effectiveness."

"What content does the new instance ’Yet to Speak, Pause’ have? Also, the version name, ’How Many Affairs Rise and Fall Through the Ages,’ these are all lines from the Qi Dynasty’s poetry, but it’s hard to figure out the specific content of the instance..."

"We will naturally know in a week!"

"Let’s go watch a movie first! Your Majesty, here I come!"

...

At this moment, Zhao Haiping had just comfortably settled himself on his home sofa, opened a can of fatty happy water beside him, and looked at the TV screen.

Today was the weekend, so he didn’t have to go to work.

’The Spirit of a Hero in the Wilderness’ movie from this instance was about to unlock the online version and could be watched soon.

According to the new version update announcement, this film would incorporate "dialogue" and the performance of players in clearing might also be edited in.

Though Chu Ge and Zhao Haiping’s team were the first to clear, perhaps players from other teams performed better in the four different identities.

Thus, this film material was selected from the best of the best, definitely worth looking forward to.

As for Zhao Haiping, he was confident in his performance. The "Commander" role and the battle at Wulan Tula Mountain would likely feature his footage.

With a relaxed, comfortable, and expectant mood, Zhao Haiping watched the opening scene on the TV screen.

...

On the wasteland beyond the border, the wind and sand filled the sky.

As far as the eye could see, everything was a dark, yellow hue, the sun was setting, and the dried grass on the ground was also tilted as if stubbornly growing.

"Plop," the horse’s forehoof stepped on the dried grass, pressing it into the soil.

But as the horse gently moved away, the blade of grass stubbornly rose back up, twisted and not as before, yet still exuding a burst of vitality.

The setting sun like blood, a lone rider, gazing at the farther realms of the empire.

Then, another horse appeared behind this person.

The camera followed the second horse’s perspective, focusing on the figure ahead.

The camera turned, revealing the figure on the second horse.

"Younger Meng Yuan, from over six hundred years later, has come to visit Your Majesty.

"Wishing to join Your Majesty, reflecting clarity, understanding the past to inform the present, allowing future generations to witness Your Majesty’s elegance!"

Meng Yuan rode his horse, positioned slightly behind and beside Emperor Taizu of Sheng, with the respectful posture of a junior, hands clasped in a fist salute, his tone neither servile nor overbearing.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, the horse slightly turned, and Emperor Taizu of Sheng slowly looked over.
