Volume 5, Chapter 24 – The Game Connects With Reality

On this day, while all the Subworld players were still habitually grinding monsters, leveling up and farming dungeons, something unexpected happened.

Without any warning, the entire Subworld entered a forced update. Not only that, before the forced update, all players were forcibly disconnected.

After all the players were logged out, with nothing else to do, they all logged into the game’s official forum to talk about it. Exactly because the players started discussing it, the official forum became livelier than ever.

“The game suddenly went into an update, I am so mad, the dungeon Boss I was farming just needed one last hit!”

“You think you are mad, I just finally had a ring that increased Luck drop, and before I could pick it up, I suddenly got logged out!”

“You guys are so unlucky, I am fine, I was just in town leveling life skills the whole time.”

“…”

Some players did not really care about the game update. All they cared about was how it affected them personally.

Most players, however, were not really talking about how the sudden update affected them. Instead, their discussion revolved around one person, Yunchou.

That is right, that man called Yunchou.

“So strong! God Yunchou actually triggered a version update all by himself! I am announcing that from today on, Yunchou is my idol!”

“As the first Throne-tier among us players, I can say God Yunchou has already become the number one player among us!”

“Hehe, who knows what kind of person Yunchou really is? What if he is just lucky, if I had run into the good things he did, I could do it too.”

“The one upstairs is eating lemons, why are you so sour?”

“To be fair, we cannot copy God Yunchou’s luck. Ordinary players like us just need to follow God Yunchou’s lead.”

“By the way, why do we not all guess what changes the Subworld will have after this version update?”

“Changes? If you ask me, they should hurry up and get rid of this scammy Template restriction. With that plain White Template every day, I cannot even beat a small grunt in the NPC ranks!”

“Don’t. I think the Template setting is actually pretty good. For players like us who don’t spend money, we just grind. The Templates only affect the players who do pay.”

“Stop talking about this useless stuff! Hurry and go to the official forum front page, the game officials have already posted the contents of this update. I guarantee the moment you see it you will shout wtf!”

“Is it not just an update? Who are you trying to scare?”

The players who heard that the officials had posted the update details all inwardly looked down on that messenger player just now.

Of course, even though they felt very disdainful, they were still curious. Driven by curiosity, some players clicked open the announcement about the specific contents of the update on the official homepage.

And after seeing what the announcement said, those players who had been so dismissive could not help widening their eyes one by one.

“wtf!”

“wtf!”

“wtf!”

In the comments under the official announcement, lines of identical “wtf” were neatly lined up.

And the reason those players could not help shouting wtf was actually just the title of this announcement.

That bold, enlarged title from the officials read 【With This Update, the Subworld Will Connect With the Real World!】

Yes.

The players had not misread it. The title the officials had given for the contents of this update straightforwardly announced one thing.

The Subworld would connect with the real world.

Most players had a vague idea of what this meant the instant they saw the title, but there were still some players who did not understand at all.

However, below the title, the officials gave a very detailed explanation of this update.

“This Subworld update will fully connect the Subworld with the real world, and this will make the game Subworld into a true second world, second only to the real world.”

“The update contents are as follows.”

“After this update, items, equipment, skills and classes in the game will not be adjusted in any way. On the original basis, however, a new batch of items, equipment, skills and classes with the True prefix will appear.”

“All items, equipment, skills and classes with the True prefix can be taken by players out of the game world, that is, brought into the real world.”

“For example, if a player obtains an Epic weapon with the True prefix, then that player can bring this Epic weapon into the real world, and in the real world its power, stats and abilities will not change in any way.”

“After this update, players’ attributes, abilities and skills in the game can all be brought into reality.”

“Note, if a player’s Elite Template does not have the True prefix, after returning to the real world, they will not have the Elite Template’s strength and will still only have a White Template.”

“If a player is using a True Elite Template, then the strength they bring into the real world will be the same as their Elite Template ability in the game world.”

“Note, after a player’s Template has the True prefix, while they can still continue to change Templates, they will lose the ability to revive infinitely, use with caution!”

“Note, as the Subworld connects with the real world, a player’s race in the Subworld will gradually be synchronized with their appearance in the real world.”

“That is, if a player is of the Elf race in the game, then their appearance in the real world will start to gradually shift toward their appearance in the game world.”

“Note, race adjustment is irreversible. After the race adjustment is complete, players will no longer have any chance to change race…”

“…”

The System’s announcement content was basically just that.

And every player who finished reading these contents… all realized, without prior agreement, that after this game called “Subworld” finished updating… the entire world would undergo a transformation.

“Times are changing…”

After reading the announcement from the game officials, some players let out such a worried sigh.

Of course, not all players felt worried about the future. In more players’ eyes, flames called desire and ambition were igniting.

But whatever the case, once the Subworld update was complete, almost every player… or rather, even those who had barely ever touched this virtual game called Subworld… would come to realize one thing…

And that was.

A Great Era was coming.

The Subworld’s update.

After it connected with the real world, it would inevitably disrupt the original world’s established order.

The original systems might still work in the future, but what could be known was that from this day on, for the people of the real world… there would be no one who did not know the name “Subworld”.

Because Subworld…

Is the true second world.
