Chapter 60: New Expansion Pack (Ferocious Waves)

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

When the Christmas battle had ended, the exhausted players that had fought strenuously for a whole night eventually started to log out of the game.

It was at this point in time that the official website for Battle Online released an update notice.

[Maintenance and Update Notice, addition of new expansion pack ‘Ferocious Waves’]:

During the Christmas battle, the Beiqi Army fought hard and obtained possession of Liuli District after an arduous fight. However, within the North Rocks lies a much more terrifying and formidable enemy awaiting the challenge of players. In the mysterious region of the Underworld Sea, countless treasures and ancient ruins await your exploration and domination.

With the Rock Ghost King in the North and the Underworld Sea in the East, new challenges have once again arrived. The clarion call for war has sounded again. So let’s put on our battle gear and set sail for the ferocious waves.

[Content Update]:

Special items added in shop: Specter Warship, Specter Ship

[Specter Warship (Guild-Specialized)]: A naval battle weapon specially made for large-sized guilds and has the ability to convert ingested spiritual materials into energy. Players are able to choose their own cultivation method.

Specter Warship Main Cultivation Branches:

Phantom form: Speed is the main evolutionary direction. Should the owner choose this mode of evolution, the Specter Warship will turn all converted energy of spiritual materials into an increase of the ship’s navigation speed and efficiency. Special navigation abilities may be uncovered in later evolutionary stages.

Armor form: Hull hardness is the main evolutionary direction. Should the owner choose this mode of evolution, the Specter Warship will turn all converted energy of spiritual materials into an increase of the ship’s hull hardness. In later stages, special impact skills such as Wrath of the Dragon Horn and Armor may be evolved.

Calamity form (special): With this state as the cultivation mode, the Specter Warship will acquire the dual evolutionary direction of the Phantom and Armor forms. At the same time, there is a probability of acquiring a primary consciousness that is capable of mastering Oceanic Power in the process.

Note: Please be careful in choosing the Calamity form. In this state, the spiritual materials required for consumption for the evolution of Specter Warship will be multiplied.

Price: 3000 soul coins

[Specter Ship]: Build your very own Specter Ship with more than a hundred types of cultivation methods waiting for players to explore in their sail toward the ocean!

Price: 200 soul coins

[Maintenance time for this update: 12 hours, apologies for the inconvenience caused]

Seeing this notice, the players on the forum went into a buzz.

Xueli_The_Strongest: “Haha! I, Xueli, am finally going to be a pirate king!”

Crayon_Shinchan: “The naval headquarters have been established, the pirate king from above please surrender yourself!”

Watermelon_Taro: “Isn’t the Son of the Sea fruit the Devil’s fruit? Damn, I was trembling with excitement and could already imagine a magnificent sea war happening, but when I saw that the cheapest Specter Ship requires 200 soul coins, I could only shrink into the corner and sob uncontrollably. The word ‘fuck’ isn’t enough to explain my emotions!”

Invincible_Loneliness: “The Calamity Ship looks good (funny face). Also, I’m accepting soul coins indefinitely. Don’t assume that I don’t have enough money, I’m just afraid that you don’t have enough soul coins. Players with soul coins please join this group (318815704)”

Ye_Xueer_is_the_cutest: “So sad, I’m really short on soul coins. Why hasn’t this bastard game opened up the top-up channel?! And who is the bastard boss of this game, did he actually give the research and development team salary?! (Angry)”

Little_Tiger: “Looking for a sugar mommy, one that buys me soul coins!”

Chief_Of_Demolition_Officers: “There are so many treasures in the Underworld Sea. I have a hunch that I will soon acquire a hidden character class inheritance.”

Cultivating_Longetivity (Qi Ming): “Wow, this world is getting more and more wonderful. Let’s not talk about it, I’m going to ask my grandson for money to get FortifiedByUsingCash!”

Ye_Chen_The_Most_Handsome replied to Cultivating_Longetivity: “Grandson? How old are you?”

Cultivating_Longetivity replied to Ye_Chen_The_Most_Handsome: “Hehe, I’m over 120 years old.”

Ye_Chen_The_Most_Handsome replied to Cultivating_Longetivity: “Haha (Middle Finger)!”

Director_Of_Demolition_Officers: “Interesting, seems like we have another goal. No matter ocean or land, we Demolition Officers will be the first!”

harder_said_than_done: “Naval Battle? In reality, I’m a chief mate, looks like it’s time to fight! (Surprise.jpg)”

Prandtl: “As an explorer, I’m ready to sail! Other than that, I want to collect soul coins to build my own ship and start my own great adventure on the sea ~Happy~”

After the release of the new expansion pack Ferocious Waves, the response from the players was very strong in addition to being curious about the Underworld Sea region. Suffice it to say, the price of soul coins fluctuated again soon after the release of the expansion pack.

All of the major guilds wanted to build a guild-level Specter Warship one step ahead of the others. Thus, under mass acquisition and demand, the price of soul coins began to rise to the point where it was practically priceless.

This was also because the players were full of curiosity and had a deep desire to explore the sea. They also wanted to build their own Specter Ships and were therefore unwilling to sell their soul coins.

This then further led to many complaints on the forum as a few hundreds of thousands of players pinned a thread of comments titled “Rubbish game, top-up channel still not open, we strongly protest!” at the top of the main page of the forum. Their purpose was very much obvious, which was to force Lu Wu to quickly open up a top-up channel.

However, Lu Wu merely glanced at it as he continued to peel an apple calmly. Then, he put it near Bei Li’s mouth and watched her eat it bite by bite.

Top-up? What top-up? Such a thing does not exist!
