I have an Apocalypse City - Chapter 464 - Chapter 464: Chapter 464: Game Update

Chapter 464: Chapter 464: Game Update

Returning to the game once again, Song Jian felt an inexplicable sense of security. Standing under the dazzling stars, he stared wide-eyed at the game updates that flowed like a waterfall before his eyes.

“What on earth happened within just one day?” Song Jian looked at the update content in surprise, checking every detail carefully, fearing he might miss a single word.

System: The new version of the game, “Abyssal Shadows,” has been updated. Players can now choose their own Abyss faction! Note: There is no unique method to choose the Abyss faction; players can explore it themselves. Warning: Once a faction is changed, it cannot be reverted; players’ previous game experiences will cause significant changes;

System: The game time has been altered from the real time scenario, where 4.8 hours in the game world would be equivalent to 1 hour in the real world. Players can exist for a maximum of 8 hours in the real world; if the time is exceeded, they will be forcefully kicked out of the game;

System: The player’s safehouse will now have an “Occupation” mode. During territorial expansion wars, players can opt to flee in advance;

System: The cooldown time for territorial expansion wars will be reduced from one month in-game time to 8 hours;

Song Jian carefully read through the multitude of updates. It took him almost half an hour to read all of them.

“This game is getting more and more realistic.” Song Jian felt a sudden sense of heaviness in his heart, unsure why he felt this way. It seemed as if the game was actually another real world.

“Bang-”

A crisp sound shattered the starry expanse beneath Song Jian’s feet, turning it into countless fragments. He plunged downwards, the feeling of weightlessness making him panic slightly, but all his skills were rendered useless. Both “Morphing into Dark Cloud” and “Steel Wings” lost their effects, as if he had suddenly reverted to an ordinary person.

“Ah!” Song Jian broke into a cold sweat, sitting up abruptly in bed;

” Where is this…?” Song Jian looked around in a daze, finally recognizing the space he was in: “This is my Manor Castle’s bedroom. Could everything that just happened have been a dream?”

Song Jian shook his head, summoning his attribute menu, and carefully observed it. Suddenly, a light bulb seemed to flash in his mind, and he appeared to remember something: “No, I was just entering the game before!”

Shock spread across Song Jian’s face as he momentarily believed that the virtual game was the real world. The existence of the safehouse, personal attribute menu, skill bar, task bar, and inventory seemed like genuine parts of that world with no inconsistencies.

“What’s wrong with me? Why did I treat this game as the real world?” Song Jian lifted the covers and walked to the window, gazing into the distance.

The lush farmland, the overlapping medieval buildings, and the passing NPCs finally made Song Jian aware of the game’s presence.

At this moment, Song Jian’s eyebrows furrowed as he noticed thick black smoke rising from distant abandoned skyscrapers. There were at least a dozen such instances in sight.

In the center of the city, where once a television tower stood as the tallest building, a dark pyramid now stood in its place. The pyramid reached a height of almost too meters, and even from where Song Jian was, he could see it clearly.

A dense black aura enveloped the surface of the dark pyramid, the smoke-like blackness rising into the air and forming a fiendish demon face with two horns on its forehead. The face wore a sly smile, and despite being suspended in mid­air, it seemed incredibly tangible. Song Jian couldn’t help but feel an instinctive sense of dread as he looked at the monstrous, grinning visage.

However, this feeling was soon dissipated by a wave of chill;

“Is this the new Abyss Demon Cave instance in the new version?” Song Jian murmured to himself.

With this game update, more game content was revealed. In the new version, numerous Abyss Demon Cave instances had appeared throughout the world. These instances were categorized as level 5, level 10, level 20, level 30, and the final “Abyss Territory” instance;

Within Doomsday City, the towering black smoke signified the presence of Abyss Demon Caves, while the black pyramid at the center of the city represented the final “Abyss Territory” instance.

Moreover, the entry requirement for the Abyss Territory instance was to reach Tier-1 combat power. Only players who passed the test and reached Tier-1 combat power were eligible to enter the Abyss Territory instance.

“The Abyss Territory instance holds clues to advanced professions. It is a place that every player must enter after reaching level 30…” Song Jian muttered as he gazed at the distant black pyramid.

At that moment, Song Jian’s bedroom door was suddenly pushed open with a “bang.” Bloodline Wizard Wallace floated in excitedly, fell to one knee before Song Jian, and said in an uncontrollable, excited tone, “Honorable master, my research has finally succeeded! I have created a perfect Black Dragon Bloodline body. In the near future, you will have the most powerful Bloodline Wizard at your disposal, the Dragon Wizard!”

Wallace’s sudden entry took Song Jian by surprise, and he frowned, about to rebuke him. However, upon hearing Wallace’s explanation, Song Jian’s face broke into a smile.

“Wallace, have you succeeded? Have you created a real body for yourself?” Song Jian asked.

“Yes, master, I have succeeded!” Wallace lifted his head and looked at Song Jian with gratitude, saying, “I would like to invite my master to witness my resurrection ceremony!”

For Wallace, the soul body fusion resurrection ceremony was crucial, equivalent to a new birth. If the ceremony failed, not only would the newly created body be destroyed, but Wallace’s soul body would also suffer a severe blow, perhaps losing any chance of regaining a body in the future.

Therefore, most Bloodline Wizards would hold the resurrection ceremony in the most secluded places, never inviting any friends to watch.

During the resurrection ceremony, Wallace was even more helpless than a newborn baby. Even an ordinary adult man could easily disrupt the ceremony.

Song Jian was unaware of the importance of the resurrection ceremony for Wallace and thought it was similar to the harvest festival. He smiled and nodded, saying, “Of course, my friend, after your true resurrection, I will hold a large celebration for you. Also, I will build you a Magic Tower!”

Wallace was taken aback, and even his soul body seemed unstable. Stuttering, he asked, “M-master, are you serious? Are you really willing to build a Magic Tower for me? This is… it’s just…”
