Chapter 1024: The Beginning of the Second Year, a Major System Update!

The pace of the New Year is approaching quietly. Performance

There is no familiar New Year atmosphere, nor the usual gala.

Perhaps most people have never thought that they can stick to it for a year since they came to the wasteland.

So even on the last day of December, there are only sparse blessings on the world channel.

However, in Tianyuan Territory, the atmosphere is completely opposite.

December 31st, the last day of the end of the fog poison.

This day is a rare sunny day.

After the small rainy season that lasted for more than ten days from the middle of the month, the fog in the air is no longer so thick.

Looking up at the sky, the sun that disappeared for a long time has already appeared.

Everything is indicating that this Thousand Illusion Fog that lasted for half a year is about to come to an end, and returning to normal is just around the corner!

At six o'clock in the morning, the large square in front of Hope Village that had been cleaned was finally decorated.

The red ribbons interspersed back and forth on the built sheds, outlining the festive atmosphere.

Handmade lanterns made by the residents themselves were hung on the ribbons. Although some of them looked ugly, they made the festive atmosphere stronger when interspersed among the lanterns.

In order to let everyone remember this memorable day.

As early as three days ago, Su Mo directly issued an announcement that all consumption on the last day of the wasteland year would be paid by the dungeon.

As long as there is no waste, even if you eat to death today, you don’t have to pay a penny.

And the funds for the purchase of raw materials by the chef apprentices are only paid in advance, and they can go to the designated place with the delivery order after the New Year to claim reimbursement.

As a result, many players who chose the chef apprentice route have already got up early, brought the ingredients prepared yesterday to their sheds, and began to wait for the hungry residents to get up.

In the early morning.

With the sound of crisp bells ringing inside the village, the door of the mobile cabin opened.

The residents carrying wooden buckets and wooden basins walked out of the door, and everyone had a festive expression on their faces.

A few showoffs found red fuel from somewhere and painted their wooden barrels red, adding a festive touch.

In front of the bathhouse, the queue was like a long dragon, almost lining up to the village gate.

In the past, when it was so crowded, most people would be impatient and eventually choose to give up queuing.

But today, everyone's face can only see "gentle breeze and drizzle".

After all, in the last time of the year in this wasteland, we can remove the dust of yesterday and welcome the arrival of the new year with a neat appearance.

This is so enjoyable!

In the entire New World, not the entire wasteland, only Tianyuan Territory can have such luxury? !

"Brother, it's already 8 o'clock and you haven't gotten up yet. Today is New Year's Eve!"

"Forget it, I'll take Oreo and Moore out to play first. See you in the evening.

There are more than just some food arranged in the square, and those entertainment and prize-giving activities are equally tempting.

The lively Su Chan shouted at the door, and after hearing Su Mo's weak reply, she turned her head and left.

And when Su Mo finished reading the daily report of the survival point in bed, and scanned the information on the world channel to get up.

The market not far from the gate of the dungeon is already crowded with people!

The fragrant smell of food drifted away with the wind, and the crackling sound of firecrackers rang out from time to time.

The several game stalls that were set up were already full of spectators.

Because each person can only participate in each game once, most people are cheering and watching the excitement, waiting to be sure before trying.

But this lively scene is still extremely shocking in the wasteland!

"Master, Happy New Year! ”

The small cube placed on the ceiling of the first floor of the dungeon for charging shook, spread its wings and flew up to land on Su Mo's shoulder.

Ever since Lü Kuan improved the wireless charging device for this little guy, it has become its favorite place.

"A resident has already won the first prize you set~"

"Oh? So fast?"

Su Mo raised his eyebrows and showed a little surprise.

As a generous lord, and also the first New Year to be spent in Tianyuan Territory.

Today's prizes do not have any empty prizes such as "Thank you for your patronage". As long as you hold a resident ID card to participate in the event, you can get a guaranteed set of suitable clothes.

As you participate in more activities, the points you get will accumulate to a sufficient standard.

The rewards above are also divided into several different levels.

The fifth prize is a handy tool, with a limit of 10,000 people. You can go to the logistics department to redeem it after getting the ticket.

The fourth prize is the third-generation wolf crossbow signed by the territory and the firepower weapon store, worth five Tianyuan copper coins, with a limit of 5,000 people.

The third prize is a voucher, with a limit of 3,000 people, which can be used to purchase supplies at the logistics department for no more than ten copper coins.

At first glance, these three rewards seem to be quite "rubbish" and not as exciting as imagined.

But in fact, from the moment the event rewards were revealed, the excited discussion almost never stopped.

Just kidding, now everyone's normal salary for a day is about 23 iron coins.

Excluding food, drink, defecation and other expenses, only 4-6 iron coins can be saved.

To buy a third-generation wolf crossbow, ordinary people have to save for half a month before they can bite the bullet and go to spend.

Now suddenly, you can get one directly through the event.

The thought of saving money can be used to buy other more valuable things in the future, or to buy furniture when you own a house of your own.

This is so cool!

As for the first, second and third prizes above, except for a small number of competitive players who value them, most people actually take them lightly.

After all, starting from the third prize, the quota limit has dropped sharply to 500 people, with a probability of 1/20.

Thinking about it with your buttocks, you also know that it is extremely difficult.

Of course, it's not that they are not greedy, but that most people can't actually use those rewards for the time being.

For example, the third prize is a "Gentleman-01" assault rifle.

This assault rifle newly developed by Kuangren Weapons Factory uses the latest fourth-generation strong iron technology.

The high-recovery barrel can effectively accumulate kinetic energy, reducing the frequency of gun critical strikes to "every five shots."

At the fifth shot, the power of the bullet will increase by 220%, reaching a level comparable to that of a medium- and large-caliber sniper rifle.

And when the burst mode is turned on, the power of this Gentleman 01 rifle is even more terrifying.

From the very beginning, the Doomsday Madman developed the Wind Bird helicopter as an imaginary enemy.

According to him, as long as the aircraft dares to fly within a distance of two hundred meters at low altitude, this rifle will be a nightmare-level existence.

As long as a critical bullet hits a weak point in the armor, you can immediately enjoy the scene of machine destruction and death.

However, for ordinary people, this thing cannot be bought and sold freely.

In fact, there is no such thing as a handy tool.

They don't even have a gun license, so they have to keep their guns in a safe depository in the village until they get the license before they can take them back.

For the second prize, the quota limit is further reduced, with only 300 remaining.

This prize is quite interesting. When it was announced in the territory announcement a few days ago, there was a wave of crowdfunding for names.

In the end, the ‘Eye in the Sky’ provided by ‘Want Candy’ received the highest number of votes and became the name of this device.

But there are also many people who think this name is too artistic and is extremely troublesome to call it.

So privately, everyone gave the device a nickname:

‘Life and death machine’.

The moral is very simple, people are in danger and opportunity is in danger.

The life-and-death machine bound to residents' biological information will immediately enter self-destruct mode as soon as it detects the disappearance of biological signs.

The internal circuit board will be burned out instantly under high voltage, leaving only layers of encrypted micro-storage devices.

By reading the information in the device, you can see the entire process before the wearer's death.

Getting it means the difference between life and death.

There are three hundred SS machines. According to the announced functions, the most suitable ones are naturally the scavengers who like to go out and explore.

For residents living in the territory, the ability to digitize currency is certainly desirable, but it is not yet indispensable.

In addition, you can still communicate in the in-game chat channel, and the chat software that comes with the SS machine is not so attractive.

Its destination is naturally those who urgently need it now.

Anyway, everyone will slowly obtain the territory in the future, and there is no rush to get it now.

As for the first prize, the prizes are even simpler, and there are only ten places.

Wasteland Combat Set.

This is a customized suit that can be equipped from head to toe, and the production process will only start after measuring the winner's information.

It includes a complete set of biological combat suits, high-plastic protective helmets, tactical shields, a Gentleman 01 assault rifle, a Terminator 01 sniper rifle, and an SS machine.

The application scope of this thing is even narrower, and it is useless for non-combat players to get it.

Counting and counting, there are only so many people who can use the territory.

"Who got it?"

"It's Li Hu. Minister Li Hu got perfect scores in all three shooting competitions."

"This is the winning image."

The AR projection was spread out in front of him. Li Hu, who was holding a rifle in his hand, bared his yellow teeth and smiled like a child.

The other guards standing next to him were full of admiration, as if they didn't expect that he still had this ability.

"Okay, let's look at the others."

Sumo was dumbfounded and gave up asking for details.

In fact, those three shooting competitions were only proposed by Li Hu today.

I didn't expect that I was going to act cool just for now.

That's right, with the emergence of the route system, the ordinary guards in the village guard team appeared frequently.

With the addition of routes, their previous weaknesses have been made up, making their strengths more prominent.

If Li Hu wants to suppress these people, he must show stronger abilities.

As the AR projection screen in front of him continued to switch, more and more contestants flashed in front of Sumo's eyes.

Those who can participate in activities at the beginning are basically confident in their own abilities.

After watching it for a while, Sumo turned off the projection and rubbed his temples.

"Have they already guessed that we have a special prize?"

"It's very possible. Do you need Zero to eavesdrop on their conversation?"

"Forget it, it's okay. Just guess it. There are only five stations anyway."

There are limits on the number of places for the first, second and third prizes. If you participate in the event late, you may miss the opportunity because the number of places is full.

But now let’s not talk about others, let’s talk about the four scavengers.

These four guys were sitting at the breakfast stall, not in any hurry, and they obviously already knew some inside information.

That's right, the special prize is the exoskeleton armor!

The big guy that the Red Spider Caravan bought from there before leaving.

However, compared with the shabby exoskeleton at the beginning, the current exoskeleton has been secretly installed with the Pillar of Creation structure.

Although it is only a single pillar, the weight it can bear has suddenly increased by nearly three times.

And the internal energy supply has also been changed from the extremely dangerous power battery to the energy stone battery.

Wearing it, even ordinary people who are powerless can instantly transform into land tanks, and those who choose the combat route can gain exponential increase in strength.

As the special prize of this time, only the top five people with the highest scores will be awarded.

Su Mo originally planned to announce the news at the end of the event at 9 o'clock in the evening, but since it has been leaked, he simply won't pretend.

"Okay, send a message to Chen Shen and ask him to announce it at 12 o'clock."

Does it matter who the reward is given to?

Of course it doesn't matter.

As long as they are residents of the territory, even those aborigines are fine.

Being able to get the top five points in the event can fully prove their potential and strength.

It is worth mentioning that the Huanggu Village also held a New Year ceremony today.

Although for them, today is more than a hundred days away from the New Year of Blue Star.

But the poor wanderers have never experienced a festival formally, and even if they were allowed to go formally, they would not know how to celebrate.

So after a plan, Huang Xiong simply sent someone to find Chen Shen to learn some experience and held a similar event in Huanggu Village.

It's just that the prize setting

The best first prize is just a big bag of potatoes.

But this can make the residents of Huanggu Village, who are afraid of poverty, excited to sleep all night.

"Lord, Happy New Year, this is your breakfast!"

At the time when Su Mo usually gets up, the village canteen delivered a sumptuous breakfast.

The rice rolls as thin as paper exude a strong rice aroma, which makes people swallow their saliva.

The eight-treasure porridge mixed with several kinds of beans unique to the wasteland is sticky and has a hint of silkiness, which makes people salivate at the sight.

Add a few stacks of exquisite side dishes, and this breakfast can only be described as luxurious.

But

"It's a pity that no one will give me any reward for the New Year today."

He sat down at the table with breakfast.

Su Mo entered the chat channel of the territory, browsing the messages above, and laughed and complained.

Everyone was thanking him for being so generous as to praise him to the sky.

But in fact

Suddenly, there was a ding-dong sound.

Hearing a strange but familiar cold female voice ringing in his ears, Su Mo couldn't help but stand at the table.

'It is detected that the host 'Su Mo' has successfully survived in the wasteland for 365 days, meeting the requirements of the first stage of the survival system'

'Upgrade information is being obtained'

'Congratulations to the host 'Su Mo', the survival system will start to shut down for updates, and the update time is 48 hours. ’

‘This update is the survival system version 1. You will not be able to use any system functions during the update, but the existing passive functions will continue to operate normally. Do you want to start the update immediately? ’

‘Please note that after updating to version 1, the current version of the reward currency "survival points" will no longer be 100% applicable. Please use it in advance to avoid waste. ’

‘Please note that after updating to version 1, the survival system will officially open permissions to better match the host's current needs. ’
