[New version of Fantasy Realm is coming soon]

This update requires system maintenance – update time: 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM.

[Update took 12 hours]

Upon seeing this notification, all the players were shocked.

"Holy crap?"

"An update? And a maintenance update at that?"

"For the past three years, every update has been a non-stop update! I thought all updates to Fantasy World never required downtime!"

"All I know is that the Fantasy Realm has a major update every year. However, the Fantasy Realm never announces the update in advance. It is only a few hours before the update that we are reminded that the version is about to be updated."

"I was thinking that with the release of the third server, the new version should be coming soon."

"Fantasy World update? What will be updated?"

"Anyway, I've never seen the classes in the game get weakened or strengthened. They never make any class or talent adjustments; they only add new content to the game."

"Oh no, actually they will add some new professions, but that's all they'll do; they won't make any changes after that." "They just kill without burying, huh? No wonder the balance is terrible."

"Actually... it's not that bad. On the contrary, the balance is quite good. Each class has a set of combinations that can stand firm. Apart from the top players who are fighting like gods, as long as the details are handled a little well, it's not impossible for an E-level talent to beat an A-level talent."

"In this game, only the S-rank is a special exception... But there are always top players in a game. As long as you don't mess with those few dozen people, this game is still very fun."

In the channel, the players chatted idly, exchanging a few words here and there.

Bai Lu looked at the pop-up notification in front of her.

It feels a bit unbelievable.

The two walked out of the church, and the priest escorted Lu Cang and Bai Lu away from the church with utmost respect, as if seeing off a father.

"Brother is amazing, he even knows such information."

The "Compass of Wealth" allows you to directly see hidden treasure locations on the map using the compass.

The compass also functions as a key, allowing it to open doors to any treasure location or other types of locks.

Lu Cang put the [Compass of Wealth] into his backpack.

Bai Lu also turned her attention to the announcement.

"The game 'Fantasy World' is actually going to be shut down for updates."

Lu Cang is the culprit behind the update of the fantasy world.

The update mechanism for the Fantasy Realm is based on the player's progress.

Players will be assigned different weights based on their progress, and once the weight reaches a certain level, an update will be triggered.

The world boss has been defeated, the unique class has been obtained, and the calamity of death in Maple City has been resolved.

Some players even spent ten million gold coins on NPCs and became close friends with a certain faction.

These weights combined directly triggered a version update.

If things proceed as normal, the version update will actually arrive a few days later.

Lu Cang yawned.

"Yes, I can finally go to sleep."

"Finally, the server shutdown time arrived. I was still wondering if I would die from exhaustion if I kept playing with you guys like this."

Right now, Fantasy World is still a regular game.

In-game data will not be reflected in reality; no matter how much you play games, you're still just an ordinary person.

This body has not slept for nearly 24 hours.

"It would be great if the update to Fantasy World didn't require server downtime; I want to play a little longer."

"I still want to go treasure hunting with you, brother."

"Still playing?" Lu Cang was surprised.

Bai Lu replied, "That's right, I just completed my job change and haven't leveled up yet. I need to level up at least first..."

Lu Cang looked at the white deer.

His eyes were filled with terror.

"Brother, why do you see me like that?"

"LuLu, your internet addiction is really something else. By the time you finish leveling up and go to sleep, your brother will probably have already died of overwork in the game pod."

Indeed, I never felt so addicted to my sister in previous lives.

In her previous life, Bai Lu could only be described as someone who liked playing video games.

However, it cannot be described as excessive internet addiction.

But in this life... I've gotten a little too addicted, haven't I?

That makes sense, though. In this life, he obtained an S-rank talent, joined his own God-Slaying Guild, and even got a unique profession.

He acquired all sorts of superhuman abilities along the way.

It's no wonder people get addicted to this kind of exhilarating game.

"Alright, be content."

"At least the server shutdown for updates allows us to catch up on sleep, and others can't catch up with our progress."

"Otherwise, while we're sleeping, other players are secretly working hard, and when we wake up, we'll be behind again."

However, in reality, even if the progress is temporarily behind schedule.

Other players also need to sleep eventually, so in reality, everyone's game time is about the same.

"That's true." Bai Lu's tone still held a hint of reluctance.

"Moreover, the game will only become more fun after this update."

After the game update is completed, it will be the time when Fantasy World officially breaks away from the category of ordinary games.

Soon, all the players in the game will realize that this game is not simple.

Moreover, the new content added in this update will bring about completely different changes to the entire game world.

"Alright, get your spirits up. If you're not in a good mood, your gameplay will suffer."

"We have a lot to do after waking up."

"For example?" Bai Lu asked curiously.

"For example? Hehe, LuLu, do you know about the Three Sovereigns of the Human Race?"

"Never heard of him. Is he a character from a game's backstory?"

"Yes, three human emperors."

"The supreme human emperor Yacaticto who governs the fate of the human race, the night emperor Muqiu who rules the night, the day emperor who rules the day... I won't mention his name."

"Huh? Is there such a setting?" Bai Lu clearly hadn't heard of these things before.

In fact, these things have not appeared in the current game background. What Lu Cang said is purely information that will appear in the future.

However, Lu Cang is, after all, a professional player.

Bai Lu had no doubts about the depth of her research on the Illusionary Realm; she simply felt that this was something her brother had learned while he was in the Hidden Origin Guild.

"The Three Sovereigns...does this have anything to do with what we're about to do?"

"Hehe, of course it's related, and it's very related."

"However, it's not appropriate to say this now. If I do, it might be overheard."

"The Emperor's ears are quite sharp," Lu Cang said with a slight smile.

Seeing her brother say this, Bai Lu pouted angrily: "Brother is keeping us in suspense again! You've already piqued our interest, but you still won't tell us."

"Heh, if I say it now, I might get beheaded by the guards in the next second."

"LuLu, even if you guess it, don't say it, and don't ask about it in any way."

Is it that serious?

"Wait... could it be..."

In this game, rule can be overthrown and status can be replaced.

Players can have titles and fiefdoms, be granted official positions and titles, become city lords, or become the leader of a monster tribe.

The main selling point is freedom of identity.

One could even become the king of a country through various means.

This is the charm of the game "Fantasy World".

With countless ways to play, everyone can find a way to play that they like in this world.

Thinking about all this, and then recalling what my brother had told me...

"Brother, you wouldn't...want to..."

However, she remembered what her brother had told her: not to ask about it in any way.

Bai Lu immediately covered her mouth again.

Lu Cang gave Bai Lu a meaningful smile.

It's as if it's saying, "You understand me."

Immediately, Lu Cang changed the subject, saying, "Alright, it's almost time to update. I'll go finish the job change quest first."

"I aim to log in tonight in the state after completing the job change."
