This time, the update brought a lot of content and particularly significant changes.
Players from all factions understood that after such a massive version update, an unavoidable major reshuffle would occur.
"Master, after the version update, our game revenue will decrease."
Arf showed a puzzled expression, especially with the removal of [Random Key].
Players who continuously spent money just to randomly get a large number of compatible items would lose a major source of income.
"You are too shortsighted."
Fang Yi shook his head, "Tier 2 items are not something that can be bought with money."
Tier 1 items contain very little origin energy.
Players can buy them from the Game Merchant by spending money at a price slightly higher than the contained origin energy, and everyone gets what they want.
Everyone is happy.
However, Tier 2 items contain a very large amount of origin energy.
Let alone ordinary players, even the Celestial Dragons, who control most of the Pirate World's assets, would go bankrupt trying to exchange for them.
For factions like Whitebeard, Shanks, and the Kirigakure and Cloud Hidden of the Ninja World, a single valuable Tier 2 item could severely cripple them.
Therefore, even if Fang Yi put Tier 2 items on sale in the Game House, they would still be out of reach for them.
Draining the pond to catch all the fish is always the lowest method.
The goal of accumulating vast wealth is to eliminate Pollution Monsters.
Now, Fang Yi, sitting on the majority of the foundation of two worlds, is already capable of extending his hand to save those worlds that have been or are about to be devoured by pollution.
The Game House will provide players with the most basic equipment and abilities.
The Arad map will provide players with the assets to purchase these game abilities.
And to become stronger after breaking through Tier 2, players will need to dedicate all their efforts to the cause of eradicating Pollution Monsters.
Players need to gradually learn their true identity: heroes who save all the worlds.
Arf nodded, half-understanding, and asked, "So, Master, that's why you issued the Counterattack Missions?"
"Exactly."
Fang Yi smiled, "The leaderboard, arena, and killing system are all means to promote healthy competition and prevent the vicious cycle of mutual reinforcement blockages that ninjas experienced earlier."
"They are all supporting elements for the [Counterattack Mission] system."
Just as he said before, even chosen ones favored by destiny like Naruto Uzumaki and Straw Hat Luffy can at most break through to Tier 2 with the world's favor.
This includes parasites like the Celestial Dragons, who are forcibly elevated to the point of transformation by immense wealth.
After that, all players will need to confront the pollution source directly.
Better equipment, more powerful game skills, and numerous functional tools and items can only be obtained through Counterattack Missions.
After all, what Fang Yi needs are practical combatants who can fight against the pollution source, not cash cows with no combat power.
Some players with insufficient willpower will be eliminated in the new version, becoming weaklings who can only wander in low-tier maps.
At Navy Headquarters, Fleet Admiral Sengoku sat in the center, with The Three Admirals on either side, followed by the Headquarters' high-ranking officers.
"Orochimaru, the top of the combat power ranking?"
Opening the Reincarnation Game panel, Sengoku's gaze was serious, fixed on the name at the very top of the combat power ranking: the ninja who had previously killed Sakazuki.
The combat power ranking reflects a player's comprehensive combat power, or more accurately, the total score of all their skills, equipment, and items.
After the update, every game item's suffix now includes a combat power score.
The higher the level of the equipment, the greater its combat power value.
Therefore, Orochimaru, at the top of the combat power ranking, means that his skills, items, and equipment are the most expensive and advanced among all players.
Although high-level skills and equipment do not entirely represent strength, just like the Celestial Dragons, those useless people, after the establishment of the Divine Clan, pirates and ambitious individuals continuously attacked Mariejois secretly.
Some lazy Celestial Dragons, even with full purple equipment, were repeatedly defeated in combat by pirates wearing low-level equipment.
However, this is a special situation in the Pirate World; generally, the stronger the combat power value, the stronger the actual strength.
"I see, Orochimaru's combat power value is the highest among players. No wonder I lost to him."
Sakazuki's face had been gloomy since his revival, only clearing slightly after seeing the top of the combat power ranking, regaining some face.
Fleet Admiral Sengoku took a deep breath and opened the full combat power ranking:
[Combat Power Ranking]
First Place [Ninja World] Orochimaru: 1000 Combat Power
Second Place [Pirate World] Imu: 960 Combat Power
Third Place [Ninja World] Mei Terumi: 910 Combat Power
Fourth Place [Pirate World] Monkey D. Dragon: 900 Combat Power
Twentieth Place [Ninja World] Samui: 700 Combat Power
Note: Combat power ranking is a comprehensive score of equipment, skills, and items, and does not represent actual strength.
After finishing reading the combat power ranking, Fleet Admiral Sengoku sighed deeply and said, "Thirteen people from the Ninja World made it onto the combat power ranking, while only seven from the Pirate World did."
There's no need to say much about Imu of the Divine Clan.
Remaining silent and without any news, he surprisingly followed closely behind the strongest player, becoming the highest combat power holder in the Pirate World.
He probably relied on the assets accumulated by the Celestial Dragons over eight hundred years.
No one could envy that.
Then there was the Navy Headquarters' arch-nemesis, Revolutionary Army Leader Dragon.
As one of the first players in the Pirate World to become a player and believe in the Reincarnation Game, investing heavily in the early stages, it was not surprising that his strength was among the top.
Then there was Whitebeard.
Whitebeard, with his Scarlet Troll ability, ranked seventeenth on the combat power list. The Whitebeard Pirates caused a stir on the Arad continent, and with logistical support from the New World of the Pirate World, he barely made it onto the list.
The most embarrassing thing was that the Navy, claiming to uphold justice in the Pirate World, had no one on the combat power ranking.
Before there was no combat power ranking, there was no definitive conclusion on who was stronger or weaker among them, unless they had a real fight.
But now, with the glaring combat power ranking laid out before everyone, the Navy Headquarters, which had always taken it upon itself to patrol the four seas, not only couldn't compare to the deeply entrenched Five Elders like Imu, but was even inferior to pirates and the Revolutionary Army.
Fleet Admiral Sengoku's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
The atmosphere in the entire conference room was eerily silent.
In the oppressive atmosphere, Vice Admiral Tsuru spoke, "Smoker, what is your combat power?"
Smoker the Poison Dragon.
He should be considered the strongest combat power in the current Navy Headquarters, even subtly stronger than the original The Three Admirals.
Smoker sighed upon hearing this, "Six hundred seventy combat power."
Vice Admiral Tsuru turned her head and continued to ask, "What about Kuzan, Sakazuki, and Kizaru?"
"Six hundred thirty."
"Six hundred twenty."
"I only have six hundred. The Three Admirals are truly terrifying."
Kizaru was the lowest, while the others were generally above the six hundred combat power mark.
Vice Admiral Tsuru calmly analyzed, "There's no need to overly focus on the combat power ranking."
"Even the strongest player, Orochimaru, cannot withstand the combined efforts of several players. This has been proven in actual combat."
Earlier, when challenging the Dragon Leader, after failing, Orochimaru was surrounded by multiple players and could only flee in a sorry state.
At that time, if Sakazuki had Kuzan's help, Orochimaru wouldn't even have had a chance to escape, let alone counter-kill.
"Therefore, when the combat power values are not vastly different, strategy and tactics must still be considered."
Vice Admiral Tsuru said to stabilize morale, "Looking at the current situation, although no one from the Navy made it onto the list, our overall comprehensive strength is the strongest faction."
This was both to stabilize morale and a factual statement.
The situation in the Ninja World was still unclear, but in the Pirate World, even the Revolutionary Army and Whitebeard, who made it onto the combat power ranking, would still be suppressed by the Navy.
The Reincarnation Game was not a world for lone wolves.
The Navy Headquarters had five experts with over six hundred combat power, and a double-digit number of high-ranking officers with five hundred combat power.
They could even overwhelm the strongest combat power holder, Orochimaru, by sheer numbers.
"Even so," Fleet Admiral Sengoku sighed lightly, "Justice needs a banner. Justice that cannot be seen can easily be slandered by evil-doers and ambitious individuals."
For a massive player group like Navy Headquarters, there must be one player who can make it onto the list to prove the Navy's strength, which will then attract a continuous stream of justice-minded players.
Justice must never be tarnished.
"Exactly."
Vice Admiral Tsuru did not deny Fleet Admiral Sengoku's words, as the Navy indeed needed a benchmark.
She thought for a moment and said, "We will hold a Navy Grand Martial Arts Tournament in five days. Any Navy member can participate. Whoever wins first place will receive cultivation resources from Navy Headquarters. How about it?"
"Acceptable."
"Agreed."
"I second that."
The high-ranking Navy officers did not object, tacitly looking at the leaders of their respective factions.
The focus was on five figures: The Three Admirals and Hero Garp, who still held the Vice Admiral title. They were the Navy's undisputed top players at the moment.
"Where's Garp?"
As the meeting was nearing its end, Fleet Admiral Sengoku belatedly realized he hadn't seen his old friend.
Next to him, a Navy reported, "Report, Vice Admiral Garp said he is supervising the construction of the Life Transformation Device and doesn't have time to attend the meeting."
"That damn guy, he's clearly slacking off again!"
A vein throbbed on Fleet Admiral Sengoku's forehead.
That was the work of the Navy's logistics department. What did it have to do with you, Iron Fist Garp?
On the other side, Hawkeye, serving as the Vice President of the Adventurers' Guild, stared intently at the equipment ranking before him, lost in thought.
