195: System upgrades, and upgrades again

Just as Ran Quan and Lin Diao were waiting in the lounge, in the system space, Tang Ziheng suddenly raised an eyebrow.

“Good heavens, there’s a problem with Ran Quan’s world…” Tang Ziheng noticed some unusual changes in Ran Quan’s Wasteland World - Saida World.

It was very subtle; if he hadn’t been idle and happened to notice that Ran Quan’s robot seemed a bit off, then used the system to meticulously check Ran Quan’s world, he wouldn’t have discovered this very faint change in Ran Quan’s world.

Or rather, it was merely the beginning of a sign.

“Interesting…” Tang Ziheng added a “Special Attention” tag.

He would wait to see what would happen and what the situation was, and then the Cross-World Group would likely have something to do.

Tang Ziheng wouldn’t interfere with these matters, after all, changes would also bring a lot of source points…

Tang Ziheng remained unmoved, silently waiting for the unexpected event to occur in Ran Quan’s world.

As an “outsider” and a spectator, Tang Ziheng had always been in a “behind-the-scenes” state.

Tang Ziheng had thought about whether to create alt accounts, but after some consideration, given the current functions of the system, alt accounts didn’t have much use, unless the system added new related functions that could stir up trouble.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t be very meaningful.

“Hmm~ Next upgrade… Alright, you need 10e source points?” Tang Ziheng checked, and the system upgrade required 10e source points.

Tang Ziheng glanced at his current source points: 102e.

Hoo~ Without realizing it, well then, let’s upgrade!

Tang Ziheng decided to upgrade the system:

[Spending 10e source points for system upgrade...]

[System upgrading...]

When it came to upgrading the system, the system was not at all ambiguous, as if it was afraid Tang Ziheng would regret it; it didn't even ask, as soon as he said upgrade, it just upgraded directly.

And the upgrade was very fast!

[System upgrade complete, current version: v3.1, next upgrade requires 20e source points.]

Additions or changes based on v3.0:

[1. Cross-Border Exchange Group opens new function: Live Stream Gifting Function]

[2. Increased source points acquisition efficiency]

[3. Reduced chance of searching for “useless” worlds]

“???” Tang Ziheng looked at this new function, live stream gifting… Good heavens! You scammed me out of 10e source points just to give me this function? The other two were completely “empty promises”; who knows how much you’ve increased or decreased…

“You’re truly a scammer!” Tang Ziheng said with a speechless expression.

[Keep it up! Work hard! Strive to reach version 4.0, there’s a big surprise! ] The system replied to Tang Ziheng.

“…” Tang Ziheng rolled his eyes: “I’m not going to upgrade!”

Of course, that’s what he said, but… an upgrade was still necessary.

Tang Ziheng thought for a moment, then spent another 20e source points to upgrade.

[Spending 20e source points for system upgrade… ]

[System upgrading… ]

[System upgrade complete, current version: v3.2, next upgrade requires 30e source points.]

Additions or changes based on v3.1:

[1. Increased source points acquisition efficiency]

[2. Reduced chance of searching for “useless” worlds]

[3. source points required for searching worlds increased to 20 million source points, searched worlds will be of better quality, and the probability of “useless” worlds will be reduced.]

“…” Tang Ziheng was silent for a moment: “I don’t believe you! You scamming system, you’re very bad!”

Having been “scammed” out of 30e source points by the system, Tang Ziheng fell into contemplation, looking at his remaining 70-plus e source points.

[Beep beep beep! Upgrade gift package, the next world search is guaranteed to yield a high-quality world of level 2 or above!]

“…”

“Can I still trust you?” Tang Ziheng asked.

[Of course! I am your dearest and most trustworthy system!]

“...Get lost!” Tang Ziheng rolled his eyes. Recently, he had been idle and often chatted with the system. Now, the system seemed to have richer emotions, perhaps catering to him, and had started to become more interesting.

And the new function opened by the system upgrade: “Live Stream Gifting,” was immediately received by the people in the Cross-Border Exchange Group.

This function was easy to understand, as live streaming already had this feature before.

But now, there was an additional gifting function.

In the Cross-World Group.

Bai Mo: “Oh wow~ Isn’t this function for streamers! There are few people now, but in the future, can we do something in this regard~”

“You go live streaming naked, and I’ll give you a gift,” Yi Xin said.

“...There are children in the group, don’t teach them bad things!” Clarissa said to Lin Zifeng, speechless.

“Cough cough~ Sorry, sorry!” Yi Xin quickly said, almost forgetting there was still a minor present.

“Miya-pasu is not a child!” Miya-pasu said huffily.

“Ah, yes, yes, yes~ Miya-pasu is not a child, alright! I know I was wrong, be good~” Clarissa coaxed Miya-pasu.

“Hmph! That’s more like it!” Miya-pasu nodded.

“…”

“…”

And she still said she wasn’t a child.

“Cough cough, who wants to try this live stream gifting function?” Lin Zifeng asked.

“Emmm~ How about Miya-pasu starts a live stream? We’ll give her gifts,” Yi Xin pondered and said.

“Eh? What are gifts?” Miya-pasu asked.

“They are source points,” Lin Zifeng said.

“Miya-pasu wants to start a live stream!” Miya-pasu’s eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this.

Live stream = source points = becoming stronger = achieving dreams.

“Eh? Ran Quan, your combat power has become Level 1!” Lin Zifeng suddenly noticed that the quiet Ran Quan’s combat power level had changed from 0 to 1 at some point.

“Yo! It seems you’ve grown during this time!” Bai Mo praised him.

“Cough cough~ I didn’t expect you guys to notice!” Ran Quan himself hadn’t actually noticed that his combat power level had changed.

At this moment, Miya-pasu started a live stream.

“So this is your world, Miya-pasu! People in your world all have ears and tails!” Lin Zifeng watched Miya-pasu’s live stream. Miya-pasu was currently in Miya-pasu Academy.

Miya-pasu was undergoing Miya-pasu Warrior skill training, currently practicing a move called [Instant Grab].

In these past few days, Miya-pasu had already learned the moves [Pouncing Strike] and [Miao Pa Fire Claw], and had mastered both to a proficient degree. Now, she was learning this new Miya-pasu Warrior skill.

Miya-pasu didn't really understand what live streaming was; she just turned it on and then focused on her training.

And Yi Xin and Lin Zifeng watched with great interest—cough cough, don’t misunderstand, they weren’t watching the young girl, but rather the skill training.

“It’s quite interesting, this technique for exerting force is very peculiar!” Yi Xin and Lin Zifeng began to comment.

“Indeed, it utilizes special force exertion techniques, and the people of Miya-pasu’s world, well, according to her, they should be Miao Pa, their body structure should be different from humans. Although outwardly they only have an extra pair of ears and a tail, in reality, many details or other aspects of their structure should be different… This kind of force exertion technique should be difficult for humans to achieve,” Lin Zifeng nodded.

Of course, the humans they referred to were ordinary people. For those at their level, who could control every part of their body, achieving Miao Pa’s force exertion was simple, but not worth it. Why? Because the structure is different. For Miao Pa, doing so might be more efficient, more effective, and less strenuous, but if humans were to do it, it might be more taxing.

However, Yi Xin and Lin Zifeng were discarding the dross and extracting the essence, drawing lessons from the good aspects within.
