rustle……

In July, thin, mist-like rain enveloped the entire world. The weeping willows in the corners of the martial arts arena were soaked in moisture, and the roof tiles and eaves were black.

When Lin Tuo finally heard this message, he suddenly opened his eyes. In his field of vision, a virtual panel popped up with the same small words displayed on it.

A pattern similar to a progress bar is in the center of the field of view.

"It's finally here!" Lin Tuo was shocked, surprised and happy.

It has been half a month since he returned to Earth, and the global spiritual collection project has been launched for some time. He has become increasingly anxious and even begins to doubt whether the progress of the upgrade is being made.

However, all doubts disappeared the moment I saw this small line of characters.

"Teacher--" Hua Xi, standing in the martial arts arena, wearing a martial arts uniform, his eyes lit up and asked as if he had something in mind.

"I'm going back to the study. If there's nothing important, don't disturb me!"

Lin Tuo stood up and didn't explain. He just said a few words and turned around to enter the room.

Looking up at the sand table, at this moment, the default galaxy pattern has not changed at all, and it looks the same as before.

The Flower of Immortality is sleeping on Pluto, and on Earth, a large area of ​​China's central area has become brighter.

The candlestick where Hathaway was hiding was placed on the table, and she was also resting. When she saw Lin Tuo walking in, the flames trembled, and Hathaway's figure condensed: "What happened?"

"Not sure yet." Lin Tuo said simply, staring at the sand table and began to wait anxiously.

Referring to the last upgrade, this process does not happen overnight.

"I don't know how long it will take."

With this thought in his mind, Lin Tuo was actually worried about gains and losses.

In the past half month, he had been looking forward to the upgrade, but now, when it actually appeared, he became afraid again.

What should I do if I still can’t find a solution to the problem after upgrading?

What if all your efforts are in vain?

Lin Tuo's heart beat faster and he was restless. He knew very well that the life and death of the earth and its associated black boxes depended on this!

Is it life or death?

Eventually, the answer must come.

In this unprecedented anxious atmosphere, Lin Tuo's face was heavy and expressionless, and his mental strength was affected and dispersed, forming a heavy pressure.

Even Hathaway, who was always on the lookout, also fell silent, clenching her little fists, looking forward to and anxious at the same time, vaguely guessing, but not daring to disturb her.

Finally, three hours later.

As a mysterious "upgrade completed" message was injected into Lin Tuo's mind, in Lin Tuo's field of vision, the Evolution Sand Table was suddenly shrouded in white light!

After about five seconds, the white light dissipated!

There is a small red dot on the letter icon in the upper right corner of the virtual panel.

【update completed】

finished?!

Lin Tuo's breath tightened. He did not click on the mailbox immediately, but looked towards the sand table, and his heart sank at that time!

no change!

Different from the last upgrade, the sand table has changed from a flat surface to a sea of ​​stars.

This time, judging from the appearance, there are almost no changes!

"What's going on? Could it be... calm down!"

Lin Tuo felt a chill all over and forced himself not to think wildly. Instead, he clicked on the mailbox with his mind and saw an "update notification" lying on the list.

Without hesitation, click on it.

The next second, a stream of information was violently injected into his consciousness.

Everything about this update is also presented in his mind.

In the study.

Hathaway was floating nervously in the air, and at the window behind her, Hua Xi's face with pursed lips was revealed.

The atmosphere was extremely depressing.

The two of them stared at Lin Tuo who fell into silence, as if waiting for the verdict of fate.

Finally, about two minutes passed.

Lin Tuocai, who had closed his eyes tightly to read the information, finally opened his eyes and exhaled gently, with no expression on his face.

At this moment, he finally knew the changes in this upgrade:

The first item is computing power upgrade.

As expected, the calculation capabilities of the upgraded Evolution Sandbox have been enhanced again, which means that areas where several sandboxes are located can continue to accelerate.

Of course, the acceleration here is not out of thin air, but requires the consumption of energy including ether and spirituality.

The specific number has yet to be determined.

In short, it will definitely grow with the increase in complexity.

The second item is to increase the freedom of the toolbox.

Previously, the system's toolbox provided functions including time acceleration switch, isolation cover opening and closing, etc. After the upgrade.

There are several more functions here.

Moreover, the degree of freedom of some original functions has also been improved.

For example, originally, time acceleration only had on and off options, and the speed could not be adjusted. It could only be adjusted automatically according to the complexity. This time, it can be adjusted.

At the same time, Lin Tuo also has more editing rights for the isolation cover. For example, he can directly make holes in it without using the star gate.

For example, the sandbox wrapped in an isolation cover can be "moved"...

What surprised him most was that he could actually cover the observation mode area with a black box.

To put it simply, in the past, only creative mode had isolation covers.

In the future, areas will also be available in observation mode.

As long as he wants, he can completely seal Yangcheng with an isolation barrier. Of course, this blockade is only limited to the material level and does not involve the spiritual world.

The corresponding change is that there is no longer a distinction between "observation mode" and "creation mode" on the main interface of the system.

There is only one "observation scope" interface.

In the past, many of the city areas that were lit up these days, as well as several sandboxes, were laid out in the form of cards.

The difference is that the cards in sandboxes 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 are covered with a light black color, indicating that they are in a state of isolation.

Item 3: Price reduction

Due to the unification of the scope of the two modes, the purchased goods in the original two mode areas are offline in the store.

Convert to unified dynamic consumption.

That is to say, after upgrading, Lin Tuo can consume ether to light up any area on the entire star sea and bring it into the control range of the sand table.

The price is dynamically adjusted according to various factors such as the population of the selected area, the distance from the sand table itself, and the difficulty of transformation.

The most obvious change is the price reduction.

Except for some very large cities, in other places, if you want to light up, the amount of ether consumed is greatly reduced.

Similar to areas such as Shanghai and deserts on Earth, the price is comparable to the "Creative Mode". One thousand points can light up a million square meters.

Item 4: Expansion of optional positions

In the past, Lin Tuo could only choose to light up the planet, but after upgrading, he can even directly light up a certain vacuum.

That is, in theory, any corner of the entire galaxy can be included in the control range.

Of course, this is almost impossible. If you want to do this, the amount of ether consumed is too terrifying...

In contrast, the biggest change is the fifth point: visualization of the spiritual world

Thinking of this, Lin Tuo looked at the rotating sand table in front of him like a galaxy, and silently uttered the idea of ​​"switching the spiritual world" in his heart.

In an instant, in his field of vision, the original corner of the universe suddenly faded away.

Instead, there is an equally deep void, inside which are some scattered golden spiritual light groups and etheric ripples that are as turbulent as water waves.

Spirit world!

As the thoughts turned, what appeared on the evolution sand table was the spiritual world corresponding to the solar system!

The area with slow ripples but the largest range obviously represents the earth...

A little further out, there is a small whirlpool, which undoubtedly refers to the Mars Ring Continent...

And near the edge of the sand table, there is an obvious aftermath, corresponding to the position of Pluto...
To be continued...
