Even though it had been almost 100 chapters already, Brother Jues status had not changed much. Mainly it was because he was already at a very high level and thus most of his ability had started to plateau out to stability. Take marksmans.h.i.+p and medic, these two masteries as an example unless Brother Jue found suitable related skill in the future, or else even if he wanted to train them, it would be quite difficult. Normal shooting and using the potions would not improve the mastery points. But this did not mean that he would not have any s.p.a.ce to improve in the future. In the game of Thriller Paradise, every 10 level would welcome a new beginning. If you think reaching the maximum level was the ending, then you would be sorely mistaken. Currently no one knew that after you reached the maximum level limit there would be a wider world waiting for the players.

When the system announcement began, Brother Jue had lost control over his body. White light gathered before his eyes before everything submerged into darkness again. This time, the loading was rather long. Just as Brother Jue was confused about what was happening, an additional system reminder rang out:

Special reminder: In the new version, the setting of Terror Points has been removed from 1 versus 1 Killing Game. But said setting still remain in the other format of Killing Games. This reminder will only show up once, please visit the official website to enquire for more information regarding this. Happy gaming.

Feng Bujue was not surprised when he saw this row of sentence appear because he had already known about this. This detail was not shown in the introductory page of the patch note of version 1.10 but you would be able to read about it if you press to read for more details. And Brother Jue was exactly the kind who would go and read through the details of each of the clause one by one.

Make your opponents cower in fear, have them understand the true meaning of terror! A tender female voice recited the opening of this scenario.

Download completed. You are currently in the Killing Game mode.

This mode comes with introductory CG and the chance to unlock side/hidden quest and special world-building.

Reward for victory: 3000 Skill Points.

[Hmm so it only gives this kind of reward now, huh] Feng Bujue looked at the window that popped up before him and thought to himself. [I thought it would at least give a puzzle card but the winning prize is just some Game Coins] But Brother Jue was prepared for this kind of development because he had already predicted that the dilution of the winning prize for 1 versus 1 Killing Game was bound to happen eventually.

To understand this, one had to go back to the start of May. Back then, already some players had started to complain on the forum that the 1 versus 1 mode was getting harder and harder to play. And the reason behind this was at the end of April, someone wrote a post on the forum called 1 versus 1 is the best method to farm your level. From then on, many players flushed into 1 vs 1 killing game to farm, most of them were not expert players, they just copied the guide that was posted by someone else, which was to focus train on their workmans.h.i.+p and marksmans.h.i.+p and then find and compile a set of equipment that was solely meant for solo duel and purchase many unique exhaustible. When all these preparation was done, they only needed to focus on that one mode and queue it again and again

Naturally the vibrancy of the mode would drop to the bare minimum. In this situation where the technical difference between the players was not high, using this tactic could indeed increase ones chance of winning by a lot. Therefore during this period the 1 vs 1 Killing Game mode in Thriller Paradise because truly a farming paradise for these idle gamers or rather farmers. This made the gaming experience for casual players extremely bad because once they queued for 1 vs 1 killing game, there was a very high chance they would face these farmers. A normal gamer faced against the threat of specific skill and items meant for 1 vs 1 duel, often they had no chance of even fighting back. To win these farmers, either they had to waste everything they had and they could not allow themselves to make even one small mistake and they still needed more than a little bit of luck. But for the farmers everyone else was for the picking, they just followed the guide and reaped the reward. Even if they lost, it did not matter they would just queue up for the next round.

Many people were chased away by this phenomenon and stopped queueing for 1 vs 1 mode. The remaining players either continued to wither in this environment or join the dark side eventually, the farmers in 1 vs 1 mode became more and more numerous

A large virtual reality online game should theoretically had a very good 1 versus 1 pk experience but somehow it had been turned into Farmville

Since May was the month for Tournament of the Best, the discussion regarding this phenomenon was washed away by the bigger topics on forum, but that did not mean that Dream Inc. did not hear these voices. The proof was in this new update, the victory reward for 1 vs 1 mode was sliced into nothing; even the reward from Terror Points had been taken away. You still want to continue to farm? Sure, after all even if you win now, the little bit of reward that you got might not even be enough to replenish the exhaustible that you have lost. And the loser might even gained more Skill Points than you did.

With this new patch, in just 2 days, the environment for 1 vs 1 killing game became much better. Now those who still played this mode mostly used it to train their mastery and skill points; the situation where both parties agreed to drag the game out to earn as much reward as they could had completely disappeared; both sides of the party would get the reward corresponding to their effort in the duel.

A wave of praise followed this update to the mode, of course there were also criticism. This naturally came from those farmers who used the guide to rush to level 30. After losing their main method of level training, they soon realized their other gaming ability other than workmans.h.i.+p and shooting were basically useless. When they joined a team scenario, they would become a baggage and looked down by others. But that was their own punishment. To quote Woody, this kind of idle farming can be easily solved, you just need to focus on their motive and capital and make some adjustments and these problem will go away, but people who could not see their mistake and refuse to see the long run are impossible to solve, now is no longer the era where I can easily cut people into pieces and flush them down the toilet.

Introductory CG is going to begin soon. The game will start immediately after the CG is over.

After reading the reminder, the introduction subt.i.tle started to appear. He could hear a very deep and powerful male voice reading out the subt.i.tle that followed.

Night, cold night, a cold cold night.

People, two people, silent two people.

Under the moon, before the field of flowers, a captivating scenery

But this place was about to be turned into a place of murder.

At this moment, the scenery brightened around Feng Bujue. He instantly realized he was standing on the top of a rather large ancient Chinese building, to be more precise, he was standing on the ridge of the roof.

His eyes appear to be able to see through everything in the world.

Her blade appears to be able to cut through everything in the world.

under this moon, only these two people remain.

In this s.p.a.ce between heaven and earth, it also feels like only these two people are the ones that remain.
