Chapter - 27 - New update

The game was progressing smoothly till the update , many people wondered why there was an update so soon and so chaotic so NEXT SOLUTIONS had to give a statement

" many people are wondering why an update happened and because the players were getting agitated here is the reason , the AI Talos that manages the game is like a god and along with Talos there are 12 other AI that helps in maintaining a specific job and it is Talos duty to manage their decision "

" so if Talos thinks that the decision of an AI is going to disrupt other AI's work , he needs to provide a solution "

" when the Lightyear guild managed to clear the dungeon raid an update was already on the way because it was related to the main scenario quest , but it would've taken more time "

" but then another player whose identity we cannot share was somehow able to get an ancient Legendary item and that was the reason for an immediate update because that player needed to be nerfed or kind of put in a place to not disturb the game progress planned by Talos "

The director of NEXT Solutions ended his explanation and gestured to ask any other questions

" Sir , you said that the player needs to get nerfed but doesn't that mean you are disturbing the game " a reporter asked

" no I wouldn't say that we are distrubing the game because it was Talos decision and I'm more like a spokesperson for Talos" he confidently answered

" so what about Talos , isn't he kind of discriminating against that player "

" no and the reason is it's not like Talos directly nerfed him in stats , more like he just put some restrictions and also he is preparing a rival for that player to keep him in check "

" how can Talos solve every problem "

" see , the world in ESCAPE is very huge almost 20 times of Earth and the players haven't even explored 1% of it as of now , so if any problem arises Talos can easily change things according to the storyline "

" excuse me sir , but the main thing about update is that now no player has to struggle to gain their special power and stat what do you have to say about that "

" well your question is very vague but I'll answer it , the thing is that I as a director never thought that the pro players could be so good you might hate me for saying that but i thought the players can only play in a specific way but they proved me wrong they were so creative in handling their quests and they gained so much power that we had to make a change or else the normal players can't compete with pro players , that's why we removed certain restrictions related to class selections and all so now normal players can also be a threat to rankers and they can gain power very fast "

" but doesn't this mean that they gets the easy way while those who played the game early did it the hard way , doesn't that undermine their hardwork and time that they put in "

" I understand what you are saying but I can guarantee you that the early players did enjoyed some benefits like the early players have a slightly different interface and they can also customise it once but the new players lack many options regarding that "

" I think I've answered all your questions so let's wrap it up here " the director said while looking straight at the camera and the interview ended there , and the TV was closed as Ted just wanted to see what the director has to say about the update

Ted was at a crisis because after the update he got a notification saying that because he achieved the maximum number of legendary weapons now he cannot equip any other legendary equipment or not even made.

That means that now Ted cannot ask Mr Smith to make a legendary weapon for him to sell it later. and also the new update said that now the weapon or equipment will shine in specific light according to their grade when in use so now he cannot use his weapon more freely because it will attract attention

Common - yellow

Uncommon - orange

Rare - Red

Epic - purple

Legendary - Golden

Ancient - white

But the good thing was that the flow of Gold Coins was getting good again

before when the gold to credit ratio was 1:10 Ted had already sold all of his gold coins and now when the ratio was 1:2 he decided to again buy the gold coins in bulk so currently he had more than 1 billion credits in his Bank account so he brought Gold coins from Player's forum of worth 500 million , and he got around 300 million gold coins because he brought them in bulk.

But instead of the ratio going up it went down to 1:1 because he put all those gold coins in the bank as an investment on which he got interest of 10% and Because now the big guilds had a steady foot in their regions the gold flow only increased in the game , some guilds even acquired legendary materials after doing some mass Raids and were able to make a legendary weapon for their best player.

people thought that the number of legendary weapons are increasing when the company posted a list of current number of legendary weapon or equipment in the game

and currently there were only 22 legendary weapons in the game only if people knew that Edge alone possess 18 weapons after selling 2 of them he had 8 weapons equipped and 10 for sale.

meanwhile Edge in the game

" so this quest "

Quest

Help the Emperor of East Continent by bringing him the royal treasure from the demon occupied area

Reward : full affinity with Emperor and many benefits , 10 Level up

Penalty: if fail to complete, death by the demon lord of that area , unbearable death

" it's kind of impossible right now for me glad that it has unlimited time to completion " Edge wondered because the Emperor asked him that because he is a demon maybe he can go to the demon Kingdom and bring back the treasure.

The Emperor can also bring war to the demons but that will bring loss that will be more than just the death of 80% of soldiers.
