Chapter 316 - 160: All Version Updates Complete! A Super Chain Reaction Appears
He stopped his family from speaking. It wasn’t over yet!
The instant updates weren’t just for version 4.1; versions 4.2 and 4.3 were finished as well! This was the true power unleashed by the completion of the version 4.1 update!
Shen Fei knew, of course, that with the eruption of 32 monster tides, the cluster of Neutral Cities around Qing City would have to mobilize on a massive scale immediately. Moreover, the entire country would be thrown into chaos by the sudden eruption of monster tides. Aside from Qing City, people from many other places would even come to him for advice.
But it still wasn’t over. The text appearing tonight was even more extensive than the last update, and there would surely be more to come...
DING!
Sure enough, as if cued by his thoughts, more text began scrolling across his personal panel. It was as if it wanted to use this single opportunity tonight to push out all the text at once. It was as if, because of the conflict affecting version 4.4, the system wanted to resolve all contradictions in an instant. It wanted to take all the problems and solve them all at once, piggybacking on today’s inheritance of game abilities...
DING!
[Version 4.2 update complete!]
[All living and non-living entities across the entire planet have been dataized!]
[Temporary damage calculation has ended!]
[All individuals dataized!]
[All items dataized!]
The full version 4.2 update followed right on its heels. In his past life, two full version updates that should have been three months apart had now arrived back-to-back.
The dataization of all individuals was now fully active! It wasn’t just every player, every ordinary person, every NPC, and every monster. Even all the items—tables, chairs, and trees—were dataized in that single instant, now displaying Health or special properties.
Ignoring his family’s shock, Shen Fei saw that the version 4.2 dataization was complete. With a thought, he opened the submenu on his personal panel: the Personal Attributes panel. Before, because the version 4.2 update wasn’t complete, everyone’s Attributes panel had been a mess of text and data, filled with all sorts of temporary descriptions.
Now that the version 4.2 update was finished, Shen Fei opened his Personal Attributes panel and saw his fully dataized information:
[Name: Shen Fei]
[Account Name: Skyrocketing]
[Inherited Game: Tower Defense of Ten Thousand Realms]
[Inherited Items: Accessories, Tower Master Equipment, Tower Master Skills...]
[Affiliated Neutral City: [Yang City]... (Click to view others)]
[Health: 500,000 (Fused with Crystal)]
[Equipment: Tower Master Belt, Tower Master Helmet, Tower Master Gloves, Tower Master Boots, Tower Master Pants, Tower Master Chestplate...]
[Skills: Ten Thousand Linked Bonds, Enlarge and Reduce, Damage Sharing, Skill Cloning, Flying Skill, Healing Book, Attack Aura, Durability Aura, Range Aura...]
[Defense Towers: Tenth Tier Mist Tower x3, Divine Thunder Tower x1... (Click to view others)]
[Divine Artifacts: Nine-Phase Divine Bottle, Napoleon Knight’s Power, Zu’an’s Kiss, Scamming Waist Cutter]
[Other Items: Time Pauser, Experience Bar Unlock Scroll, Hundredfold Amplification, Array Plate, Secret Realm Teleportation Scroll...]
Shen Fei quickly scanned his personal Attributes panel, which was now quite straightforward. Then, he turned his head and gave his family a reassuring nod.
SLAP!
While his family was staring in astonishment at their own drastically changed Attributes, Shen Fei slapped his palm down on the table in front of him.
"Ordinary Table: Durability 3/5"
He immediately saw that the table now had Health. As an ordinary table, it now had a dataized Durability display after the full version 4.2 update.
Shen Fei understood that from this moment on, everything had data. Everything had a "health bar" and Attributes.
The Mushroom Bombs must have undergone huge changes as well! I wonder if the world’s nations will still be able to rely on them!
Seeing that the table now had Durability, Shen Fei’s thoughts turned to the Mushroom Bombs, whose Attack Power, Range, and Durability would now also be displayed.
On the surface, the version 4.2 update seemed like a good thing, allowing players to see their own abilities and Attributes with crystal clarity through dataization. But Shen Fei knew that in the end, all version updates were actually detrimental to humanity. A Mushroom Bomb with a health bar, while possessing immense Attack Power, would have its deterrent effect drastically reduced.
As he imagined the complete dataization of Mushroom Bombs, Shen Fei also considered things like guns and cannons, which had also been dataized in the blink of an eye. What’s more, some things would even display their weak points. This, in a way, was a means of weakening humanity.
"What the hell!"
He was in the middle of contemplating how dataization would provide more precise Health and Durability stats for Neutral Cities when he saw the text update again, which made him freeze.
DING!
[Version 4.2 dataization complete!]
[Detected: Some items carry special tags and statuses due to version conflicts!]
DING!
[Unlocking items tagged with statuses such as [Temporarily Unavailable]!]
[All items are now free of tags and statuses caused by version issues!]
He was still thinking about how the version 4.2 update was a net detriment to humanity’s overall strength. Shen Fei never expected that, in the blink of an eye, the restrictions on him would be lifted. He truly never imagined that the [Temporarily Unavailable] tags on his various items would be so cleanly and completely removed at this very moment, without any remaining limitations!
Without a hint of hesitation or delay, the items in Shen Fei’s inventory were all instantly usable!
"Holy shit!"
Opening his inventory, Shen Fei quickly began to look through it.
