Chapter 172 2.1 version update, Taoyao gives Feiying 5-star special weapon
After saying these cold words, Shiloh turned and left.
Her figure gradually blurred in the morning mist at the harbor and finally disappeared.
The black skirt swayed gently in the breeze, as if silently expressing some kind of determination.
That figure looked so lonely, yet with unquestionable determination.
Her steps were fast and resolute.
After watching Shiloh leave, the already heavy atmosphere became even more depressing.
This adventure team was temporarily formed because of Taoyao.
At this moment, it was like losing one's soul, and everyone was immersed in his own thoughts.
The laughter and joy of the past seem to have become a kind of irony, making the current silence even more harsh.
"Mother Feiying, and everyone else, I'm sorry..."
Forget-me-not's voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible, and it was filled with deep apology:
"If it weren't for me, maybe none of this would have happened..."
She lowered her head, but her slightly trembling shoulders revealed her emotions.
Tears fell drop by drop on the ground, leaving dark marks on the stone pavement.
"I am too weak. When I come back, I will find Taoyao's mother..."
Her voice choked and she could not speak any more.
Before he finished speaking, Forget-me-not turned and left.
Her steps were a little unsteady, as if she was carrying an invisible burden.
The blue twin ponytails lost their former luster in the morning light, just like her gloomy mood at the moment.
The little girl who was always smiling is gone, leaving behind only a lonely figure who has lost her support.
Violet opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end no words came out.
Words of comfort seem so pale and powerless at this moment.
She turned her gaze to Feiying who was standing beside her.
This girl, who is usually full of energy, now looks distraught.
Those eyes that always sparkled with determination were now bloodshot.
"Feiying, no matter what, let's go back to the academy first..."
"Violet."
Feiying interrupted her, her voice a little hoarse and with a hint of fatigue:
"You guys go back first. I'm in a very bad mood right now. I want to go for a walk over there and be alone for a while."
She looked up at the sky. The sunlight shone on her face, but it could not dispel the haze in her eyes:
"I need time...I need to think about it."
After saying that, she turned and walked towards the other end of the harbor without waiting for Violet's response.
Her steps were very slow, as if she was forcing herself to do something, or as if she was punishing herself.
Just like that, the adventure team that once bravely entered the mysterious volcanic furnace completely collapsed at this moment of dawn.
They each chose a different direction and left with their own thoughts.
Violet and Jasmine were the only ones left standing at the harbor, watching their companions go away.
The laughter and joy we once had, the fighting side by side, the life and death we once shared.
At this moment, everything has become shattered with Taoyao's departure.
This team brought together by Taoyao ultimately could not escape the fate of falling apart.
……
Blue Star.
In Sakura Fubuki's live broadcast room, the game loading progress bar is moving forward slowly.
She rubbed her hands and looked at the screen happily.
Version 2.1 has finally been updated.
As always, she is also preparing to broadcast the new version of the game live to the audience.
"Today I can finally let everyone see the new version!"
She patted the table lightly, "I have saved up a lot of information to reveal this time."
The comments in the live broadcast room have begun to boil:
"Version 2.1, go, go, go! I've been waiting for this day and I'm going bald!"
"Finally the update has arrived! This crappy game finally remembers us old players!"
"Great! I can watch Snow Dog perform while eating again!"
"I'm afraid the people upstairs are still stuck in the past six months. The current snow dogs are no longer what they used to be!"
"That's right! The last time I speed-runned the dungeon, it was so cool! I still remember that extreme blocking position!"
"Indeed, especially long-range archery characters. Now they can shoot accurately with every shot, leaving no chance for the monsters to breathe."
"I can only say that Snow Dog's progress is terrifying!"
"Alas, the snow dog is getting stronger and stronger, so who will give me the fun?"
“Woo woo! Give me back the naive Xuexue from before. This one is too strong. It makes me feel so inferior!”
"Don't be so mean, he really has the ability, otherwise how could he perform so many extreme operations?"
"By the way, when did the snow dog become so strong? It feels like it just woke up."
"Now Xue Gou is already a powerful anchor. Who still remembers the time when she was chased by monsters..."
Sakura Fubuki browsed the barrage and accurately found the content praising her among the densely packed text, and the corners of her mouth rose unconsciously.
She deliberately put on a proud expression:
"Hehe, apart from anything else, with the current skills of the anchor, speedrunning the new version is no problem!"
"Wait a minute, I'll show you what real strength is!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the game finished loading.
She skillfully entered her account and password and logged into the game.
The first thing she did when she entered the game was to open her mailbox out of habit.
This has become the first thing she does after every update, because every version seems to receive an email from Taoyao.
This expectation has become a habit, as natural as checking your phone as the first thing you do when you open your eyes every morning.
Sure enough, there was a letter from Taoyao in the mailbox.
Seeing this familiar signature, Ying Fubuki's heartbeat unconsciously quickened a little:
Dear little cutie:
Hello~ When you see this letter, I guess you can’t wait to start a new adventure?
Every night recently, I think of the scene when we first met.
Those warm words, like waves under the moonlight, gently beat against my heart.
Whenever I think of that scene, I feel extremely calm inside.
Sometimes I feel like you understand me better than anyone else.
It was a strange feeling, as if we had known each other for a long, long time... as if we had known each other for a long time.
But I don't want you to take risks for me.
I hope that you can truly find what you want to pursue and understand more about yourself.
I also sincerely wish you well.
May you finally achieve your wish.
And if one day, you make it to the finish line, I’d love to hear all your stories along the way.
Until then, please accept this gift.
I prepared this especially for you, I hope it can help you in your adventure.
I hope we can talk more next time we meet.
——Taoyao who loves you forever】
There were two gifts attached to the email:
[Heart's Wish (Five Stars) x1]
【Demon Flower x10】
As the content of Taoyao's email appeared in the live broadcast room.
Soon, the live broadcast room was flooded with comments about this email, and the dense text almost covered the entire screen:
"Woohoo! Taoyao said she will love us forever! That's so gentle!"
"I can get 10 consecutive draws in each version. Taoyao is indeed the NPC who understands players the most!"
"As expected of my wife, you know that players need card drawing materials the most!"
"Hey, hey, 10 combos isn't the point, right? That five-star item is the key, right?"
"Yes, yes, I really care about that five-star item!"
"Snow Dog, what are you daydreaming about? Take a look at that five-star item!"
"I'm so curious! Open it and see what it is!"
"Could it be a limited edition weapon for the new version? After all, Taoyao is a super important NPC!"
"Taoyao gave me a five-star card last time, so this time I'm definitely not going to give you anything weak either!"
"I'm betting on a bag of spicy noodles. This time it must be something incredible!"
Only then did Sakura Fubuki come back to her senses from the content of the email.
Her fingers trembled slightly as she gently clicked on the icon of the five-star item.
In an instant, a dazzling red light flashed, illuminating the entire screen.
A blood-red rapier slowly emerged, with strange patterns flashing on the sword, like dancing flames or flowing blood.
There is a crystal gem inlaid on the hilt, emitting a warm light.
The most special thing is that every time the sword blade turns, blood-colored petals will fall.
【Name: Heart's Wish】
[Description: A mysterious rapier made of unknown material.
The sword is filled with tears of eternal longing and burning persistence, and every time it is swung, blood-red petals bloom.
This sword carries the deepest wish of a certain being, and in order to bear witness to that promise, it will forever wait for its destined user.
It is said that only those chosen by the sword can unleash its true power.
On the hilt of the sword, there is a line of tiny words engraved: It is here now, it was here before, and it will always be here. 】
[Basic Attack Power +699]
[Critical Hit Damage +200%]
[Fire attribute damage +100%]
[Special Effect: Flame Heart]
[Effect Description: When releasing a fire element skill, the "Flame Heart" mark will be imposed on the target.
Each layer of mark will cause continuous burning damage and can be stacked infinitely.
Mark duration: 10 seconds.
When the mark reaches 7 layers, the target will suffer an explosion damage equivalent to 777% of the character's attack power.
In addition, each layer of the mark will provide a 5% bonus to fire elemental damage, and this effect has no upper limit. 】
"Isn't this too exaggerated?"
Sakura Fubuki's eyes widened, her voice filled with disbelief: "Infinitely stacked continuous damage? Isn't this directly super-model!"
The live broadcast room was instantly boiling with discussions that almost filled up the entire screen:
"Fuck! This number is too outrageous! Is the planner crazy?"
"699 basic attack? 300% critical damage? Are you kidding me?"
"What the hell is this setting of infinite stacking? This doesn't make any sense at all!"
"You really don't care about the game balance just to give away weapons?"
"But having said that, this damage is really cool!"
"But wait... am I the only one who discovered this? The properties of this weapon seem to be very suitable for Feiying!"
"It seems so! Isn't this a special weapon tailor-made for Feiying?"
"Yes, yes, Feiying's skill itself has a burning effect, plus this infinite stacking mechanism..."
"And look at the appearance of this sword, it's blood red, which matches Feiying's hair color perfectly!"
"Feiying is originally a fire element character, this sword is definitely prepared for her!"
"It feels like Taoyao put a lot of thought into this weapon!"
Looking at the analysis of the barrage, Sakura Fubuki suddenly realized.
