<h4>Chapter 1437: System Update</h4>


    Trantor: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales


    On Monday, there was a System update, but this didn’t affect the yers’ login times.


    It was said that the update this time was just an update to the game’s UI and system. The graphics would be even more realistic, but it also toned down the gore. Dawn would be easier on the spectators’ eyes after this update.


    However, the game didn’tpletely remove it either.


    With the instation of a mod, yers could see an even more gory world. Lu Li tried it out when he was grinding for levels. There was also a Pdin near him who was trying it out as well. He was equipped with a hammer, which dealt bloody carnage with every swing.


    Lu Li witnessed a monster’s head being smashed with the hammer, after which its head exploded and its innards flew everywhere.


    Fortunately, this wasn’t Lu Li’s preference. He decided to change his settings back to the toned-down version.


    The gamepany’s intended audience was for everyone, so this toned-down version was good for little children. Otherwise, it would be much too violent for them.


    Because they wanted to cater for younger people, there was an update which included many high schools in different cities. Such cities include Stormwind and Orgrimmar. Stormwind’s school was just called the Stormwind Junior High School, while the one at Orgrimmar was called Orgrimmar Senior High School. The goal for the instation of these schools was to increase the number of young yers in the game.


    At that time, there weren’t schools like the Ironforge Kindergarten yet. After all, it wasn’t good for extremely young children to be ying games.


    These updates didn’t affect battle-centred yers.


    Besides the Instance Dungeon and quest difficulty nerfs, there were two more things that attracted everyone’s attention.


    The release of the Talent System!


    yers could freely choose their Talent stats.


    For example, for Lu Li, there were two paths. The main path was the Agility pathway, which increased his survival capabilities and his crowd control abilities. As a result, there was a new name for him – Agile Thief. The other path was the Strength pathway, which increased offensive strength and gave the title of Battle Thief.


    You could still change between these two paths – the price was just gold.


    After every Talent reset, there was a fee which grew each time. There was also a quest that needed to bepleted to enable the changing between the two paths.


    Normally, no one would bother changing paths.


    However, yers now had the choice to reset their skill points and stats. Unfortunately, the skills that were levelled up through training were not able to be reset, such as Lu Li’s Sinister Strike. As a result, Lu Li could only adjust four of his skills.


    Lu Li decided to adjust his skill point investments. His skillset was mostly focused on PVP, since his role in Instance Dungeons was to be amander.


    A normal squad didn’t require themander to have good DPS. Furthermore, Lu Li’s items were extremely powerful, so his DPS would be above the average yer regardless.


    Thieves and Priests were among the easier sses to adjust in terms of the Talent system.


    Pdins could be Healing Pdins and Retribution Pdins, while Druids could be a Voodoo Druid, Bear Druid or Cat Druid. Shamans could choose between Elemental Shamans, Healing Shamans and Buff Shamans. These sses were moreplex, but since they were also more flexible, there were many who chose a hybridbination of specialised sses.


    For example, Mu Qiu was a hybrid between a Healing Pdin and Retribution Pdin.


    With this update also came the adjustment of the stats of equipment based on the level between the item and the wearer.


    For example, a level 60 yer wearing level 55 items might not see much difference, but the stats of an item would drop drastically if a level 60 yer was wearing level 50 items.


    Everyone was not pleased with this, so they heaped theirints upon thepany. However, as this was a game-wide implementation, no one gained an advantage from this.


    These were onlyints after all; they wouldn’t quit the game over this matter.


    The other yers who were disappointed at this update were the item merchants in the game. Their items needed to keep circting, and it also wasn’t possible for them to sell one item immediately after getting another. Therefore, for the merchants who ended up with an abundance of items to sell were put in a difficult situation. It was said that a few big-name merchants were made bankrupt due to this.


    The other update that attracted much attention was the Couple system.


    In any game, the Couple system was a system that brought great profit to thepany.


    In the early days of gaming, there were a few rich yers who decided to y as female yers. Of course, male yers, upon finding out that their partner was indeed a male yer, would instantly separate with them.


    Ruling Sword had prepared a long time for this update.


    After Lu Li and Water Fairymunicated with the supervisor, Square Root immediately contacted the supervisor for the quest.


    There was a stat called Friendship which would increase after yers added each other as buddies, then frequently talked andpleted activities together.


    Only after increasing the Friendship level would the Couple system be activated.


    As for those who didn’t have a high Friendship stat, even if they liked each other, they wouldn’t be able to be a couple.


    During this time, the gamepany released an item this update that would resolve this problem. Besides the aesthetically pleasing side of this item, it could be used to increase Friendship levels.


    How touching!


    Of course, the price was also quite touching.


    Lu Li and Water Fairy were the first official couple in the game under the instruction of Square Root Three. This was bound to turn into a major talking point.


    Lu Li and Water Fairy’s rtionship was the perfect advertisement. If the first couple weren’t prominent yers in themunity, this system wouldn’t be advertised to its best. Square Root Three had nned to use this to further spread Ruling Sword’s name. If there was a world-shockingly grand wedding, then no one would be left without knowing what Ruling Sword was.


    Unfortunately, this grand n was ruined.


    At the moment, Lu Li and Water Fairy could only be in a rtionship, but they could not get married. Firstly, they didn’t have enough Friendship and secondly, they needed to be in a rtionship for a certain period of time before getting married was an option.


    Instant marriages were not permitted in the game!


    Since it wasn’t a real wedding, why was there a need to make it grand? It could be likened to watering a budding sprout – giving it too much water would kill it.


    Because this was the case, they tried to capitalise on another opportunity.


    Lu Li only bought nine Orange Genuine Hearts, which saddened thepany. Lu Li originally nned to only buy one, since Water Fairy wasn’t too interested in these things. She was different to other girls. As a person who grew up in a wealthy environment, there weren’t many things that she hadn’t seen before.


    The supervisor couldn’t let this go ahead.


    He then bought 990 of the Hearts, which cost a staggering amount of money.


    Of course, the supervisor didn’t pay for it himself, but reported this to the gamepany.


    Thepany wouldn’t lose money over this either, since Lu Li and Water Fairy were bound to be the first couple. If the first couple had 999 Hearts, then the other rich yers would likely do the same. If they had less Hearts, then it would imply that they were insincere about the marriage.
