At the same time that Liang Chuan was using the system to build a new [Bioenergy Terminal],
a new update announcement for Genshin: Genesis Online popped up across every player's HUD.
[Genshin: Genesis Online — Version 1.1 Update Notice]
Dear Travelers,
Genshin: Genesis Online will undergo a hot update in 5 minutes (no server downtime required).
After the update, the game will advance to Version 1.1.
Update Content:
A second [Bioenergy Terminal] has been added in the Natlan — Masters of the Night-Wind domain region.
New Feature:
— [Bioenergy Terminal] Teleportation
Once the second terminal is constructed,
players will be able to teleport freely between [Bioenergy Terminals].
Teleportation costs no resources.
All main quests related to the [Bioenergy Terminal] will be shared between them.
Finally, we wish all Travelers a wonderful adventure in the new version!
Even Liang Chuan himself was taken aback by the system's sudden update notice.
After questioning the system, he learned:
Whenever a major new gameplay element is introduced—
such as a new [Bioenergy Terminal]—
the system automatically issues a version update announcement
and advances the world to the next version number.
Whether it's a minor or major update depends on the scale of new content.
This also helps inform all players of gameplay changes,
allowing them to immediately take advantage of new facilities.
As the announcement faded, a few new prompts appeared in Liang Chuan's mind.
System: "The new [Bioenergy Terminal] is nearly complete. The new base requires player construction. It is recommended that the Host expend bioenergy to summon additional players."
System: "Current remaining bioenergy — 1232 units."
"Huh? Over a thousand more bioenergy?"
Liang Chuan blinked in surprise.
"Looks like it's not just the Hilichurl camp.
Other players must've been farming monsters too.
The first batch of players is really pulling their weight!"
He nodded in satisfaction.
"System, consume 1000 bioenergy to summon 100 new players to the Masters of the Night-Wind domain base.
Also—post a higher-tier monster-slaying quest!
There are tons of monsters around this new area that need clearing.
That should be a reasonable task, right?"
System: "Daily Commission 'Clear Out the Monsters' has been updated."
Daily Commission — [Clear Out the Monsters]
Objective: Defeat any 10 monsters
Reward: 200 EXP, 10 Silver Coins
Reading the notification, Liang Chuan exhaled in relief.
All he had to do now was wait for the players to bring materials
and help construct the new base.
"You... how did you do that?"
Citlali stared, wide-eyed, at the massive [Bioenergy Terminal] that had materialized out of nowhere.
"Technology from another world," Liang Chuan said casually.
Citlali already knew he wasn't a native of Teyvat,
so he decided to stick with the same convenient excuse—
Don't ask. It's otherworldly tech!
Five minutes later, the update timer hit zero.
The Masters of the Night-Wind domain's [Bioenergy Terminal] began to "spit out" figures one after another.
The first to appear weren't new players,
but veterans like [BlazingFlame] and [IReallyEatBeef],
teleporting in from first base.
"Whoa... a brand-new map's already open?"
[BlazingFlame] looked around in awe.
"This game's pace is insane!
It's only been two days since launch—
our first base just got off the ground,
and now we're building a second one?"
"I'm guessing this means they're about to issue a second batch of game accounts,"
[IReallyEatBeef] added.
"They can't have new players spawning at first base.
We've already stripped that area of most resources.
Newcomers wouldn't be able to progress there."
"True, but we old players can still come here and farm resources. Doesn't that balance it out?"
"Not quite," [IReallyEatBeef] shook his head.
"The difference is huge. At least in this new map,
we veterans won't be able to monopolize everything."
He pointed toward a distant Hilichurl camp.
"Just look at that—the monster density here is way higher than at first base."
"Actually... you might be right," [BlazingFlame] muttered.
"My parents just messaged me—they finally got their game accounts and are logging in right now."
No sooner had he said it
Then two middle-aged avatars emerged from the [Bioenergy Terminal].
ID: [Li Huowang's Dad]
ID: [Li Huowang's Mom]
[BlazingFlame (Li Huowang)] stood frozen on the spot.
"Dad, Mom... You didn't even bother to change your appearance, fine,
but why would you pick IDs like that?"
He groaned, walking over to greet them.
"Huh? Are you Li Huowang?" his mom asked, astonished.
"You look totally different!
In real life, you're short, pudgy, and your face is all pockmarked—
but now you look like some pop idol!
Hehehe, that's exactly why we didn't edit our looks—
so you could recognize us easily!"
"Touched... yet deeply embarrassed," [BlazingFlame] sighed.
"Alright, Mom, Dad, more new players are arriving soon.
I'll take you guys out ahead to gather materials and do main quests.
Right now, turning in materials is the fastest and easiest way to level up."
He led his parents out of the crowd,
with [IReallyEatBeef] following behind.
As more and more players arrived at the new base,
They quickly noticed Liang Chuan and the others nearby.
"Brother Chuan!
No wonder you disappeared after the Hilichurl camp—
turns out you came here to open a new base!"
[No.1 Assassin of Flip-Garden] ran up grinning.
"Eh? Who are these two?"
He glanced at Citlali and Ororon beside Liang Chuan.
"The High Priestess of the Mistveil Tribe—Citlali.
And her grandson, Ororon," Liang Chuan replied.
"High Priestess? That already sounds impressive!
Wait—hold on. Did you just say grandson?"
[No.1 Assassin of Flip-Garden] blinked in disbelief.
"That's right—her grandson, Ororon."
"I see... So little Ororon here just looks grown up, huh?
He's what, eight? Maybe nine years old?"
"Eight years old, my ass!"
A passing player overheard and blurted out in shock.
"Scram, scram! Are you trying to get yourself reported again?"
[No.1 Assassin of Flip-Garden] waved him off dramatically.
"He's an adult," Liang Chuan tried to clarify.
"The only reason he's her grandson is because... well, Citlali's age—"
Citlali shot him a fierce glare.
"It's extremely rude to discuss a lady's age!
Don't you humans know that?"
She huffed, then frowned curiously at the structure before her.
"Also, this device you've built—what is it exactly?
Why do I feel such an overwhelming surge of life energy from it?
It's as if... these people..."
Her eyes swept across the players materializing from the terminal.
"...were being created by that machine just now."
