Chapter 220 - Mech System
historical
The seal was slowly dissipating, and the figure of the lady in white also started to fade.
“Big sister!” Bei Li plunged into her arms, unwilling to let her go.
Patting Bei Li’s little head, the lady in white had a comforting smile on her face.
“Let him help you. Tell him everything when he has the capability. After all, those people who went beyond the sky will come back one day. Don’t bear everything on your own, for all will be lost if you die.”
As Bei Li listened, her eyes reflected the struggle she was experiencing, but she nodded firmly.
The lady in white dissipated in a flash, and all that left was spiritual light.
A cat with its eyes tightly shut fell from the spiritual light.
Bei Li immediately stepped forward to catch him.
Seeing Lu Wu in a deep sleep, Bei Li’s eyes sparkled with tears. She hugged him and rubbed him with her face.
..
Inside the house..
Seeing Lu Wu, who was looking at the mirror questioning his existence, biting his claws, and scratching his head, Bei Li sighed.
“Didn’t you say that you were willing to pay the price? Don’t worry, it’s already over!”
“You didn’t say that I would turn into a woman for the fight!” Lu Wu bit his little claws. He looked like he was falling apart internally.
Even though the crisis was over, it caused trauma deep within poor Lu Wu’s young soul. It was too scary for him. A vital body part of his disappeared yesterday.
“The crisis can only be uplifted with her power!” Bei Li was exasperated.
“I hate it!” Lu Wu bit his claws again and started to grind his teeth.
“Don’t fret about it.. it really wasn’t a big deal.. now, we should focus on how to speed up the development of the players!”
Hearing her, Lu Wu put his little claws down, his expression becoming solemn.
The crisis in the world of the immortals was not completely alleviated.
Even though North Sea had shouldered everything and became a wanted target for the world of the immortals, there were many uncertainties.
If North Sea was caught and his soul was searched, then Lu Wu would once again become the target for the world of the immortals.
No doubt Lu Wu had the artifact and could hide in it when he could no longer remain in the three worlds. However, a life like this was not what Lu Wu wanted.
In order for North Sea to overcome the danger and for himself to live in this world without any fear, he needed a vast army of players that could shake Heaven’s forces.
Lu Wu, who was originally unmotivated, suddenly had the desire to become strong.
Speeding up the development of the players was once again put on their meeting agenda.
Lu Wu and Bei Li had already been discussing it. They contacted Wu Guoyi and prepared to launch the American servers earlier than scheduled.
What about the location of the new manifestation land?
After a long discussion, they decided to place the first players’ stronghold in the most chaotic realm, the Land of Naraka, a place far from both Beiqi and Cangxu.
Even though survivability was low in this realm, it was filled with abundant resources. As long as they could pass through the newbie phase, their development would be a fast one.
At the same time, Lu Wu decided to manage this server himself.
The American server was launched later than the other servers. Therefore, in the past few days, Bei Li had personally created a mechanism for the growth of American server players that was entirely different from and independent of the other servers.
It was called the Mech Warrior System!
Research and development was Bei Li’s strength. Bei Li had no trouble designing a game mechanic that allowed players to grow using technology as the main method and then used cultivation as support.
Bei Li had set the technology-based growth model. The players could upgrade their mechs with the soul power they had gained after leveling up. At the same time, they could use spiritual ores from the Underworld to customize their mechs in the NPC area. There were many growth methods for the players.
The options for default character classes were temporarily set to three.
[Lightsaber Mech]: A close combat character class with the lightsaber as the main weapon, assisted with a laser dagger and a small-caliber ion gun.
Distribution of soul power after leveling up: The main skill is an increase in the lightsaber’s sharpness and mech defense, supported by an improvement in the laser dagger and small-caliber ion gun.
[Rechargeable Mech]: A ranged attack character class that is able to use multiple types of rechargeable weapons with flexibility. Starter weapons include laser cannons, a sniper rifle, etc. Weak in its close combat abilities.
Distribution of soul power after leveling up: The main skill is an improvement in the weapon’s performance, supported by an auxiliary mech defense.
[Auxiliary Mech]: A combat assistance character class that is able to create Nano Mech Repairing Balls and combat assistance items such as control force fields (Gravity Field, Repulsive Force Field, and Mech Repair Force Field). Equipped with a lightsaber and small-caliber ion gun.
Distribution of soul power after leveling up: The main skill is the strengthening of the processing factory in the mech warehouse, supported by auxiliary mech defense.
Even though this growth system could help the American server players to grow rapidly, they had a critical weakness, which was their physical bodies.
If the mech were to be destroyed, the players would basically just be lambs for the slaughter without any combat ability.
Everything had its pros and cons.
However, Lu Wu also suggested adding a recycling system that accepted spiritual material in exchange for physical experience in the shops of the American servers.
This system allowed the American server players to separate their growth plans into a main and a supportive one.
The soul power obtained by the main body could be used to upgrade the mechs, while the body’s defense could be improved by selling spiritual material and obtaining soul power or experience points.
This allowed another path for the American server players to spend money in-game.
After all, the need for spiritual materials of the American server players was low. In fact, they needed spiritual ore the most. This was the main material that could help them upgrade their mechs and improve their add-on performance.
After the recycling system was launched, it could help stabilize the spiritual material market in the American server, as well as help Lu Wu earn more soul coins. It was a plan that shot two birds with one stone.
There would always be bizarre players who would develop all styles of playing. For example, after the mech is destroyed, players who use cash might still be strong physically and able to fight the enemy for a long period of time.
Bei Li agreed to Lu Wu’s plan immediately and continued to focus on researching.
After three days or so, the grand plan for the growth of the American server players was completed.
Lu Wu was not concerned about the reliability of this growth system. After all, Bei Li was top notch with her researching skills, and problems never occurred when she was in charge.
As for himself..
Upon knowing that his past life was none other than the creator of the Way of Fate, Lu Wu’s desire to learn from Bei Li was crushed. He knew that he did not have the talent to do so and he was better off watching from the sidelines.
After everything was set, Lu Wu only had to wait for Wu Guoyi’s message before beginning his worldwide conquest for Battle Online.
At the same time, he had a plan and that was for the Beiqi Army to expand their territory.
This would be done sooner or later, as many players of the Ghost Commander rank have started to appear. They had enough power to fight against most of the forces in the world.
In Lu Wu’s mind, the horn of invading other lands was already blown.
