The Boss King actually disguised himself as a novice village chief?!
Chapter 109 - 109 100 Star Dragon Ridge Outpost Update Announcement

109: Chapter 100 [Star Dragon Ridge Outpost Update Announcement] 109: Chapter 100 [Star Dragon Ridge Outpost Update Announcement] [Star Dragon Outpost Update Announcement]

This update proposal originated from the programmers of the Gold Badge feature, who are all Undead.

They believed it would lend a sense of ceremony and provide the clearest explanation of the update in the shortest time.

Since the last “bug fix”, The Officials had been quiet, directly creating an immersive Another World experience for the players, which was great.

However, the lack of gaming elements was also discouraging players from continuing.

Acting as the development team themselves was a crafty move only players could have thought of.

Nevertheless, Lind insisted on adding a “Star Dragon Outpost Badge Reward Book” read aloud by Aluna, understanding that he should maintain his role as a Lord, not an Administrator.

Accompanied by Aluna’s aged voice, the update for Star Dragon Outpost officially began.

[Update 1: Undead at Star Dragon Outpost receive Lion Badges, featuring point display, map functionality, with more updates to follow]

[Update 2: Fixed partial bugs in faction points, enhanced the response speed of point display]

[Update 3: Initiated a limited-time Itinerant Merchant at Dragon Tooth Mountain, allowing Undead to trade within Dragon Tooth Mountain path, saving time from extensive map travel]

[Update 4: Added a large number of interactable NPC units to Prey Town]

Many Undead had suddenly realized, at some point Star Dragon Outpost and other Newbie Villages became distinct from the rest of the game.

For instance, initially when Star Dragon Outpost updated with a faction point store, other Newbie Villages did not, which seemed normal at first since none had had the opportunity to join the factions.

But as more Undead had started to rise in prominence within the factions through their strength and talents, they realized there was no such thing as faction points elsewhere.

Magic Potions were outright taboo, never to be actively mentioned within other factions.

Every ounce of power had to be controlled by the leaders, who wouldn’t casually share that power, especially with Undead.

However, at Star Dragon Outpost, as long as you joined a faction, completed missions, or garnered materials for points, you could exchange them.

“Maybe it’s experimental, in beta?”

“A beta within a beta, right?”

“What’s being tested?

Can I test it too?”

“I want to go to Star Dragon Outpost!”

No matter what was being tested, the update at Star Dragon Outpost attracted a group of commenters eager to weigh in.

This update’s major highlight was that every Undead joining the Star Dragon Outpost faction received an Honor Badge.

Simply by pressing the badge onto a piece of paper, they could quickly jot down their current points.

And it also included a very practical map feature.

You could draw maps on paper through the badge.

The badge acted like an external game system, carrying a host of unique functionalities inherent to Star Dragon Outpost, inexpensive yet effective—making it Lind’s most competitive product.

Undead could explore wearing the badge, record maps, and then upload them all to the Gold Badge, where they were synchronized by its powerful computational capabilities.

The addition of more features had noticeably drained energy when Lind was powering the Gold Badge, so he directly pulled in Lady Serene, who was conveniently bound and had nothing else to do.

It was time to turn her into a power battery.

Lady Serene fully supported this, being useful in any capacity that allowed her to remain alive was more trustworthy to her than any verbal assurances from Lind.

The Senior Grand Knight served as the battery, believing it could still support the “updates” of the Gold Badge for the next few occurrences.

Lind personally led the team towards Dragon Tooth Mountain Road.

Accompanying him was Renzo, who would also serve as the “Itinerant Merchant,” temporarily in charge of the trade in goods for the Undead.

Renzo’s temperament was sufficiently gloomy, which wasn’t bad in Lind’s view.

He saw Renzo as possessing traits of a leader because he could endure failure after tasting too much pain.

He also knew what he wanted and was willing to make sacrifices for it.

In an attack, this would be inappropriate, as he was overly cautious and restrained, lacking in aggression.

But if Renzo were charged with defending a place, the defense there would undoubtedly become an impeccable shield, as he would never grow complacent.

Every so often, a Great Knight under Lind’s command would lead a team to transport materials and hand them over to Renzo.

When Lind made a decision, everyone accepted his command without hesitation, immediately seeing it as the optimal choice.

Even those not familiar with Renzo did not question whether he was fit for the job.

In many people’s eyes, being sent to Dragon Tooth Mountain Road was like being deployed to the front line of battle.

Not a single Soldier could resist this sense of honor.

But their loyalty and trust in Lind made them willing to believe in every decision he made.

When Lind looked at Renzo, he also felt a mix of emotions.

Previously, he only found Renzo’s pursuit of and eager loyalty to the Old Nobility slightly amusing, as there were more Nobles in this world than just himself.

However, after talking with Mico, he realized that while there might be other Old Nobility in the world, perhaps he was the only sane one left.

This particular loyalty to the Nobility would likely transform into loyalty to himself.

The squad set out from Star Dragon Ridge, carrying goods and speeding across the barren land; halfway through the day heading east, they finally sighted Dragon Tooth Mountain Road.

The Red Dragon Foothills loomed like a colossal beast that could blot out the sun with its wings spread, merely looking at it was enough to stir one’s soul.

This giant creature was still asleep.

If it were to awaken one day, the area around it would instantly turn to scorched earth.

Lind, facing the entrance of Dragon Tooth Mountain Road, that had once been destroyed by catapults, endured the hot wind blowing through the pass as if he stood at the throat of a dragon, facing the breath of the Red Dragon.

He held a map in his hands.

After the first unique upgrade of Star Dragon Ridge, the Undead immediately set out from Dragon Tooth Mountain Road back to Star Dragon Ridge, swiftly completed the exchange of the Lion Badge, and then set off again to Dragon Tooth Mountain Road.

Everyone was eager to update their maps.

Golden script swiftly moved across the map, leaving behind a series of simplified yet precise strokes; each fork that the Undead had passed was meticulously marked on the map.

“Ahead at the fork is a Calamity Shadow Region, if you turn right, you’ll hear the sound of a child crying, but it’s all cliffs and nothing has been found yet, do not rule out someone mimicking human voices; this path here leads to the Earth Dragon Magma Pool.”

Lind’s gaze swiftly swept over the map.

He quickly identified a location, at the foot of the volcano where the Undead were presently advancing.

The terrain at the foot of this completely cleared volcano was flat and closer to the fork, making it easier to access the next few main roads.

Making the Undead spend money more comfortably was his “duty” as a Lord.
