Major Game Update

When the game updated, his consciousness was annihilated, as if he didn't exist in this world at all.

No sensory perception, no consciousness, as if he had completely disappeared, unable to feel anything.

But after consciousness returned, previous memories could still be remembered.

So during those nine days, where did his consciousness go?

Was it stripped away, scattered, or erased?

Was the consciousness that returned, or rather, re-condensed, really his original consciousness?

Heaven favored him by giving him a chance at rebirth and protecting him from harm when he lost consciousness. There must be some great matter that required his use, right?

Too many questions surfaced in Jiang Cheng's mind, making his thoughts a tangled mess.

But regardless, escaping his current identity was Jiang Cheng's firmest belief.

No one would be willing to be like a puppet, manipulated by others at will!

Power wouldn't make him lose himself. It was merely a tool for reaching the peak.

If compared to freedom, what harm was there in abandoning it?

【System Announcement: This update maintenance period lasted three days. We apologize for any unnecessary trouble caused to our players.

This update contains extensive content. Please be patient in reviewing it.

This update connects Northern Wasteland to the world map, linking it with eight major territories. The eight territories are: China Region (Northern Wasteland), Empire Region (Eastern Wasteland), South Africa Region (Southern Wasteland), Ice Plains Region (Western Wasteland), (Barbaric Wasteland), (Savage Wasteland), (Divine Wasteland), (Central Continent).

Currently, Savage Wasteland, Barbaric Wasteland, Divine Wasteland, and Central Continent are too high level and temporarily prohibited to players. With the world map and expansion pack updates, all players will receive update compensation upon logging in. Thank you for your love of The Great Wasteland.

Northern Wasteland rankings have been updated to world rankings. Rankings will be reordered. All major rankings will no longer use the three-hour update system and will adopt real-time updates.

Updated sixteen ranking first place titles. Only one title needs to be equipped. Without equipping other titles, attributes can still stack. The main equipped title has 100% attribute bonus, while other titles provide 30% stacked attributes. Please work hard to climb rankings and earn supreme glory.

National war mode activated. Starting today, guilds that own cities can form alliances or attack other cities.

Five major teleportation arrays added to Northern Wasteland's five empire borders, supporting cross-nation teleportation. These arrays are currently in ruins and require players to gather materials for reconstruction before use.

Three major large teleportation arrays have been added between Northern Wasteland and Eastern Wasteland, Western Wasteland, and Southern Wasteland. Players can repair them, and once repaired, they will support teleportation for up to one million players simultaneously.

Border cities added near the four territories' teleportation arrays. Players can join the garrison in border areas, participate in border missions. Killing enemy players will earn merit points, exchangeable for merit equipment, immunity tokens, and merit skills at the merit shop.

After national war activation, all cities lose their 7-day invincibility status. After enemy players occupy them, original city lords can launch siege wars at any time. Except for immunity tokens, current city lords cannot refuse siege wars initiated by original city lords. Siege war initiation cooldown is three days.

This update contains too much content. Please explore and discover on your own. Thank you.】

Jiang Cheng had just found Huo Silou, who hadn't awakened yet, when the system announcement rang out.

Jiang Cheng could naturally receive system announcements, so he carefully reviewed them.

Then he checked the newly updated rankings.

A Silly Cutie was still the undisputed first place across all sixteen rankings, leading by a mile, sitting firmly at the top.

"Rankings added first place titles that don't require full equipment for attribute stacking... Looks like I don't need to rush back so urgently."

The Great Wasteland was working hard to motivate players' emotions, making them strive for rankings.

But this undoubtedly added terrifyingly formidable power to A Silly Cutie, who possessed the Moon Set.

Although only the main title provided a 100% bonus while other titles gave just 30%, having fifteen first-place title attributes with a 30% bonus would still be incredibly powerful.

Originally, he was rushing back as a precaution without feeling much genuine concern.

After the update, he felt even less worried.

Seeing Huo Silou still lying beside him, not yet awakened, Jiang Cheng could only check his attributes while waiting.

He was now level 58, with health reaching 18,658, and magic points reaching 37,568.

Attack power reached 7,502.

Spell attack reached 2,954.

Defense reached 1,488.

Spell defense reached 1,035.

Strength reached 1,500.

Agility reached 2,110.

Spirit reached 1,865.

These attributes, except for health not being particularly high, were roughly equivalent to a level 60 Mythical boss template in other aspects.

Combined with his terrifying attack multipliers and critical damage, along with the Necronomicon and No Mercy's biological restraint damage, as well as various traits, sustain skills, Nether Moon Domain, and Pingnan Bone Duke's aura bonuses, a single strike's maximum damage could probably instantly kill a boss with a million health points without any problem.

However, Jiang Cheng still wasn't satisfied with his current strength. After all, no matter how high he stacked his attributes, he still couldn't escape the fate of being manipulated by those behind the scenes.

Perhaps only when he truly collected his three souls and seven spirits and reconstructed his physical body could he escape such a fate.

"...Where am I? I'm not dead? Huh, Skeleton Big Brother, why are you still here? Hurry back to Luo Cloud City! Luo Cloud City is in danger!"
