354: Night Dam

“Prompt: GTI has issued the latest announcement... (one hour ago)”

Xiao Yun raised an eyebrow, a look of surprise on his face, as he saw the notification pop up on his phone.

Logically speaking, GTI’s APP was considered a clear stream among many software; unlike other apps, it didn’t constantly spam the notification bar with messages or jump to random pages upon clicking, appearing very low-key, almost invisible, amidst a deluge of advertisements.

In fact, many times, Xiao Yun even forgot such an application existed.

However, precisely because of this, when it unexpectedly popped up a notification, it meant GTI definitely had big news!

The last time GTI sent an announcement was about Dam No. 0 opening a new underground area.

Originally, everyone thought that with the underground passage, the survival rate of ordinary people in Dam No. 0 would be higher, but it was said that due to the numerous Asala Soldiers guarding the underground area of Dam No. 0, even Diamond Level escort teams that went in were either killed or injured, which instead led to a decrease in the overall evacuation rate of Dam No. 0 by several points.

The final result was that powerful teams still dominated, while ordinary people still didn't get a chance.

However, judging by the current situation, the Restricted Area is not static; it undergoes changes, big and small.

Perhaps one day, a map change will allow some people who originally couldn't make money in the Restricted Area to seize the opportunity and earn a lot of money and points.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yun also clicked on the GTI app to check the latest announcement it had released an hour ago.

“Notice: Thank you, operatives, for your continuous exploration in the Restricted Area. After several days, we have discovered a new batch of usable materials from the Restricted Area. The illustrated guide has been updated, and new materials will be displayed within it.”

“In addition, according to investigations by professional operatives on the front lines, the map of Dam No. 0 at night seems to have undergone some changes. Operatives, please explore carefully at night.”

“At the same time, to cope with the changes in the Restricted Area, GTI has internally developed some new types of combat supplies. However, mass production has not yet begun, and prices are expensive. Operatives who need them can go to the Exchange to purchase them.”

...“That’s… it?”

Xiao Yun was somewhat surprised to see that GTI’s announcement consisted of only three short sentences.

As before, the information released by GTI was sufficiently concise; in fact, compared to the two paragraphs last time, this time there was an additional paragraph, and the information was considered relatively detailed.

At least it indicated that the map changes were in Dam No. 0 at night.

Unlike the previous update, Xiao Yun had to enter the Administrative Building of Dam No. 0 to discover the underground passage.

If an ordinary person saw today’s updated information, they would probably be completely confused.

What is this talking about? It’s like it said something but said nothing at all!

Fortunately, Xiao Yun had the game experience from his previous life. The moment he saw the keyword “night,” some memories from his past life gradually surfaced in his mind.

“According to the sequence of changes in this world’s Restricted Area, it should be consistent with the game versions of my previous life. So, the next version is…”

Xiao Yun rubbed his brow, and some information immediately surfaced in his mind, and this time the memory was very clear. When he recalled the next version of the game in his previous life, Xiao Yun shivered instantly!

“Black Night Dam!”

Xiao Yun was somewhat excited as he remembered the brand-new content that was about to appear in the Restricted Area of this world.

Dam No. 0 at night is about to usher in Confidential difficulty!

In this era of universal knife-running, the Restricted Area, as another real world, naturally has a distinction between day and night, and even special climate changes, such as Longbow Creek Valley having rainy days, and Baksh possibly encountering sandstorms.

These special changes not only affect combat in the Restricted Area but also influence the operatives' evacuation.

Generally, Dam No. 0 at night is easier to evacuate than during the day.

However, since most of the supply points inside are guarded by Asala Soldiers, and even digging for crocodile eggs in the wild can lead to encountering patrolling soldiers, searching becomes more difficult for ordinary people.

Evacuation becomes easier, searching becomes more difficult; back and forth, Dam No. 0 at night becomes not much different from during the day.

However, the announcement issued by GTI at this time was clearly not just telling operatives that Dam No. 0 has a distinction between day and night.

Instead, it signifies the activation of a special mode for the night-time Restricted Area of Dam No. 0, corresponding to the game world of his previous life!

This is different from the previous change where Dam No. 0's underground area appeared; this is very likely to change the landscape of high-end matches across the entire Blue Star!

According to Xiao Yun's understanding of Black Night Dam in his previous life's game, this Confidential difficulty Dam No. 0, in addition to higher drop rates and more difficult evacuation points, has three major changes.

The first point is the change in difficulty.

Corresponding to Normal, Confidential, and Confidential, the night-time Dam No. 0 has opened three difficulties: Early Night, Long Night, and Eternal Night.

For this world where everyone runs with knives, the Dam No. 0 Restricted Area has always been an unappreciated Restricted Area.

After all, it didn't have Confidential difficulty, and its drop rate couldn't compare to Baksh and Aerospace Base, so it was always treated as a beginner map by the operatives of this world.

However, the upcoming Confidential Zero Dam is very likely to change this situation.

Confidential difficulty Dam No. 0 could also be designated as a restricted Restricted Area, added to the top-ranked provinces.

According to the settings in the game from his previous life, for the same Confidential difficulty, Eternal Night Zero Dam was one level higher than Confidential Aerospace. The combat supply value for entering the map was not 450,000, but 600,000 in combat supplies plus an additional 80,000 entry fee, meaning it would cost 680,000 to enter the map.

And according to GTI's regulations in this world, only cities ranked in the top 100 are eligible to apply for the construction of the Bakshesh Restricted Area, and only those in the top 50 are eligible to construct an Aerospace Base Restricted Area.

Xiao Yun estimated that only cities ranked at least in the top 20-30 would be eligible to apply for the construction of Dam No. 0 in Eternal Night Mode.

The second point is the emergence of a new area in the wilderness, located east of the Cement Factory, where a crocodile resting area has appeared.

This newly appeared water area harbors a large number of crocodiles, and a super-high drop rate material container has been added: the crocodile egg.

This place seems to have a dangerous multitude of crocodiles, and the resource point is only a pitiful crocodile egg, which appears to be very uneconomical.

However, if anyone thinks that, they would be greatly mistaken.

Because the drop rate of this crocodile egg is unbelievably high!

According to a normal person's luck, opening this crocodile egg guarantees a pile of little red, at least 100,000 in profit.

If a few little gold appear, it's 200,000 to 300,000 or more.

And if a big red appears, the profit would be incredible!

This is not Machine Bro of this world intentionally hiding materials; it's a genuine drop rate.

After all, in the game of his previous life, even Xiao Yun, who didn't play night mode much, had found graphics cards and champagne (two little red) in crocodile eggs.

Besides this, the third change in Eternal Night Zero Dam, and the most significant one, is the change in BOSS refresh locations.

Seyid of Confidential Zero Dam will not only appear in the main building of the Administrative District but also potentially in the Substation.

“Hakimi North-South Mung Bean, Ashiga Ashi! Hayaku Naru, Hakimi Ha!”

Just as Xiao Yun was pondering, his phone suddenly rang.

The caller ID displayed the name of Shi Erzhu, the owner of the second-hand shop in Haibei City.

“Xiao ge, how was your test today? Confidential Aerospace should be a piece of cake for you!”
