Chapter 312: Chapter 301: President Yin’s Personal Opinion (First Update) Chapter 312: Chapter 301: President Yin’s Personal Opinion (First Update) Little Feather might be the player within the Dancing Nuclear Guild who had the least interest in the new version.

Like Xia Shan, he was the type of player who preferred building things over fighting, but for construction-focused players… their joy in playing came not just from the sense of achievement after creating something, but also from showing off their creations to other players.

When Biland Island was first released, most of the Dancing Nuclear players threw themselves into the construction of the stronghold. That period felt like the most enjoyable time Little Feather had ever had in Holy Spirit World.

After the initial completion of the stronghold, he posted screenshots on forums and recorded videos of the construction process to upload to YouTube, watching as comments like “Awesome” and “Someone else’s Holy Spirit stronghold” kept flooding in.

Little Feather always had an overwhelming sense of joy and achievement welling up from within.

But Holy Spirit World’s updates were just too fast.

Now the conflict on Biland Island had become peaceful, and the occasional Lord-level monsters spawning in the Spiritual Vein Forest area were quickly taken down by beginner players.

These monsters, let alone sieging cities, probably never even saw the large guilds’ strongholds before being turned directly into materials and experience for the players.

This also led to the defensive fortifications Little Feather built for the stronghold becoming somewhat redundant.

Little Feather didn’t mention these things; he didn’t even know who to talk to about them, as he was currently busy building houses for the newly recruited NPCs at the stronghold.

The Dancing Nuclear’s resident NPCs numbered twenty-seven. Besides helping players with farming and smelting metals, their main function was to collect the goodwill value from them.

But it might just have been Little Feather’s impression… With the opening of the inner world and Black Tide Island, everything originally on Biland Island seemed to have become somewhat superfluous.

Whether it’s the stronghold on Biland Island, the hired NPCs, or the NPC goodwill system.

While those players who liked leveling up and looking forward to new instances and gear were eagerly waiting for Black Tide Island’s map to arrive… Little Feather was already doubting whether there was any need to continue building the Dancing Nuclear’s stronghold?

As Little Feather was pondering over these thoughts… Boss Yin suddenly appeared in the NPC residential area.

“Lin Yu, let’s use your game ID, Little Feather. What level have you reached as an architect?”

Boss Yin shouted from afar to Little Feather.

“I’ve reached Master level already. Are you planning to build something in the stronghold, Boss Yin?” Little Feather asked.

Little Feather swore that Boss Yin was perhaps the most conscientious employer he had encountered since graduating from college. Both Boss Yin of Dancing Nuclear and Bubble of Cola Fanatic Guild were the only two guild leaders among the top eight who could really blend in with their employees.

However, the direction of development for the Cola Fanatic Guild was entirely managed by Bubble and Xue Bi. Although the guild’s atmosphere was also good, there was still a sense of playing games for the boss.

Boss Yin, on the other hand, rarely interfered with the internal decisions of Dancing Nuclear, making decisions only on key issues, leaving the members to maintain a high degree of freedom in other aspects.

Like if Little Feather wanted to build something in the stronghold, he just needed to give a heads-up to Boss Yin and Mo Shigui.

“It’s not about building something in the stronghold. It’s about building something in the public area on the map of New World Square in the inner world. I’ve spent money to buy up all the buildings around the square area of the New World Square,” said Boss Yin.

What Boss Yin said nearly… made Little Feather smash the building he was working on with his hammer in shock.

“Aren’t private manors in the inner world really expensive?” Little Feather had never bought a house in the inner world, as he felt that there were no monsters in the inner world, and buying a manor there was less worthwhile than buying one in the main world of Holy Spirit World.

“Not expensive, it only cost four hundred thousand. That’s much cheaper than buying a house in the Bund area in Shangcheng in real life,” Boss Yin said.

“Indeed much cheaper…” Having lived in Shangcheng for many years, Little Feather had a deep understanding of the city’s terrifying housing prices.

In the Bund area, the most bustling part of Shangcheng, you couldn’t even start a conversation about buying a house without offering over ten million.

“But why did you buy property in the inner world area, boss?”

“Did you see the discussion on the forums that everyone’s talking about?”

Boss Yin opened up the Heavenly Palace web gadget and threw a link at Little Feather; the link was still to a post on the Holy Spirit forum.

The title of the post read “New death penalty mechanics on Black Tide Island: Abyss Plague, Weakened State, and Fureya’s Memory, etc… More death penalties are still being updated.” Poster: Frontline Reporter.

“`

The first two death penalties didn’t seem that serious to Little Feather; after all, everyone was a seasoned online gamer, having experienced the penalty of being completely looted of all their gear over the years, not to mention things like the abyssal plague or weakened states that were hardly worth mentioning.

But the penalty regarding Fureya’s memory made Little Feather furrow his brow tightly as he concluded after reading through the preview post sent by the frontline reporter…

“Does the president know about this?”

“He doesn’t know, Coach Song is currently studying our next opponent, but I have a solution now,” Silver Boss said.

“A solution?”

Little Feather looked at the content on the post… The frontline reporter had merely put up screenshots of Fureya’s special dialogue after the unlocking of Biland Island.

From the content of the special dialogue, Magic Thieves and dragons on Biland Island could drain the power from the spirits due to possessing Divine Fragments, and the power of spirits came from Fureya… These Magic Thieves intentionally stripped the spirits of the part they cared about most, which was the memory.

“Drag the monsters from Biland Island into the inner world,” said Silver Boss. “From what is said in Fureya’s special scenario dialogue, memory loss only occurs when being killed by Magic Thieves and monsters on the island. If we pull the Magic Thieves from Biland Island into the inner world… maybe we won’t have that problem.”

As soon as Silver Boss finished speaking, Little Feather accidentally knocked a cube onto his hand, causing a -1 damage to appear above his head.

“This… Boss, this can’t be done, right?” Little Feather put the building block back into his backpack, thinking that he should persuade his boss not to think about these clever maneuvers anymore.

“Why not? If the Flame Ash Dragon and the Apocalypse Dragon from Biland Island can run to the inner world, why can’t the monsters from Biland Island?”

Silver Boss pointed to the massive teleportation gate behind them, large enough to transport an entire mountain into the inner world.

“That teleportation gate doesn’t seem to have a restriction that only allows players to pass through,” said Silver Boss.

This has nothing to do with the teleportation gate! If map bosses could transfer players to the main city, wouldn’t the game’s rules be completely chaotic?

But Little Feather felt genuinely enlightened by what Silver Boss said.

Why not? Biland Island, in the strictest sense, is an open-world map, not an instance… Biland Island and Holy Spirit World are dynamic maps like any other.

The monsters that spawn there are all variable.

“But what’s the method? Right now we don’t even know how to get to Biland Island,” Little Feather also felt some anticipation… About dragging the monsters from Biland Island into the inner world.

In the past, when he played online games, he fought on maps created by game officials, and there were all sorts of malicious traps, but Holy Spirit seemed to have great potential, at least in terms of the building system.

“Ask the officials,” Silver Boss suggested.

“Offi… officials? Silver Boss, you’re not going to… cheat, are you?” Hearing Silver Boss’s suggestion, Little Feather thought of a plethora of underhanded dealings, like Silver Boss asking game officials to tweak data on his behalf.

“I wish there were cheats for Holy Spirit World. I mean submitting a suggestion to the officials. Isn’t Holy Spirit World still in testing? There are many bugs in the game and several issues that displease players, right?”

Silver Boss acknowledged that Holy Spirit World was a good game, but it had its flaws as well; fast version updates were actually a flaw of Holy Spirit World, and weak ties between different versions were another.

“I’ve written a suggestion to the officials recommending a game mechanic that allows players to drag monsters from Biland Island into the inner world to fight. This way, the base construction on Biland Island and the building in the inner world would both be effective. I’m not sure if this suggestion will pass, but even if it doesn’t, we can still forcibly bring over the Magic Thieves from Biland Island,” Silver Boss explained.

“Forcibly bring them over?”

Little Feather, hearing Silver Boss’s idea, felt as if everything… everything started to connect–Biland Island’s exploration and battles, the base defense of Biland Island, and the construction in the inner world all tied together.

If Biland Island didn’t have monsters attacking cities, then draw them from new maps.

“The playing style of the inter-world pirates is looting and kidnapping, and their background setting gives them the ability to abduct all forms of life and travel through different worlds. We’ve all joined the faction of inter-world pirates, so we should act more pirate-like,” Silver Boss added.

“But isn’t that just the background setting of the game?”

Little Feather always felt that his boss’s ideas were unusual; characters’ background settings in games usually didn’t correlate with in-game combat abilities, and some NPCs, no matter how powerful their background story, would become weak with each game update.

“I haven’t played Holy Spirit World for long, but I’ve had a little realization,” Silver Boss said with a hand on Little Feather’s shoulder. “That is, most of the background settings in Holy Spirit World… at least the majority of them can actually have an impact in the game.”
