Chapter 1166 Preparing for What's to Come

1166 Preparing for What's to Come

"To everyone on Veldanyr... greetings yet again. My name is Scho'doxa."

Hearing Scho'doxa's voice echo throughout everywhere he looked all of a sudden, Valyr paused in his words for a bit before deciding to save his thoughts for after the man's announcement.

After all, with the conversation he and Scho'doxa had before he returned to Veldanyr, he already knew that the man would give everyone on the planet a heads-up regarding the upcoming version.

Because of that, he had a faint smile on his face as the man's voice continued to echo throughout the planet. "I'm sure all of you know me from the tournament you've been forced to participate in some time ago."

"I would like to apologize for transporting you to another place all of a sudden... but I was merely following the orders of the system itself."

"With that being said, these next few words I'll be mentioning are also orders from the system."

Although Valyr couldn't see it, he was certain that a great portion of the people throughout the planet perked their ears up at that moment, curious as to what the man would say next.

Briefly glancing at Julian, he was slightly surprised to see that the man was seemingly intent on listening to Scho'doxa's next words as well.

"Do keep in mind that the beings protected by the system shall arrive at your planet in the next few days." Returning his attention back to what Scho'doxa had to say, Valyr faintly nodded the moment he heard the man's words. "Not only that, but the new version would arrive at around the same time."

"Expect a lot of personal changes from the new version... but at the same time, don't expect too much," continued the man. "If anything, most of the new changes that the new version shall bring will come from the beings themselves."

"Depending on your actions, they might become the ally of your races... or the banes of your existence."

"Thus, I would highly recommend everyone to prepare for their appearance one way or another..."

"For their appearance shall undoubtedly start a new era for the entire universe."

Whoosh!

By the time Scho'doxa was finished with his announcement, a sound similar to something being sucked in echoed throughout the entire planet, which everyone belatedly realized as a signal that his announcement had ended.

Though the man's announcement was brief, the information contained in his words, as well as what he implied between the lines, was more than enough for everyone on the planet to turn silent.

And thus, just like the effect the tournament had on the planet had, Veldanyr had come to a standstill once more.

Unsurprisingly, even Julian was not spared from Scho'doxa's words, slightly frowning while looking at the ground as various thoughts began to linger in his mind.

Fortunately, it did not take long for everything to return to how it was before the announcement, with everyone on the planet seemingly having come to a tacit agreement to continue what they were doing at more or less the same time.

Swoosh!

Activating both [Flash of the Azure Dragon] and [Flight of the Azure Dragon], Valyr soon disappeared from Algerie Kingdom as he made his way to the frontlines at the greatest speed he could muster.

Swoosh!

Although the titles he'd obtained from the tournament improved his stats by a certain extent, which amplified the effects of [Flash of the Azure Dragon] a bit further, the speed at which Valyr moved through the air was only a bit better when compared to the first time he made his way to the battlefield.

From what he could tell, he would arrive at the military base around an hour to an hour and a half earlier than he did in the past...

Which eventually made Valyr realize that his speed had gone beyond becoming a bit better.

"I'll use Noel's request from back then as an excuse to teach the other blacksmiths how to forge one from scratch." Deciding to make the most out of the time he was flying to the military base, Valyr began to plan out his next moves before Greater Beyond was released to the public.

"After that, I'll forge a considerable number of basic weapons and armor for the players to buy, as well as a set of basic potions that would allow their early game to be a bit more smooth sailing."

"Hmm... should I also give them access to the Basic-level Reinforcement Elixirs?" Briefly pondering over which starter village he'd temporarily set up shop in once the players arrived, a random thought soon popped up in his mind.

Scratching the back of his head as he mulled over the thought, the young man seemed to be at a crossroads on what to do regarding the matter. "On one hand, it'd speed up the rate at which players improved in the game... but at the same time, it would cause the foundations of the majority to become shaky."

"After all, they'd rely more on the brute strength the elixirs would give them while fighting rather than the skills they should actually focus on."

"Not only that, but the bullying incident from back then would probably just repeat itself if I were to make those elixirs readily available from the start."

"Hmm..."

Slightly frowning as he delved deeper and deeper into the matter, in the end, Valyr came to the conclusion that there wasn't any point in thinking about it, seeing as the players had yet to appear in Veldanyr.

"If anything, it's probably in my best interest to tackle the topic of the Reinforcement Elixirs again only after Greater Beyond is released to the public."

With that, it was no surprise that the young man focused his thoughts on something else after that.

Specifically... he focused his thoughts on the rewards he got from the tournament.
