Kapitel 87: Chapter 87: South Blue! South Blue!
The game has been publicly tested for nearly half a year in this world.
According to the time scale proportion, it has been about one and a half months in the real world, Outside.
The earliest batch of players who passed the internal test and logged into the game early have already reached the 20-level mark, which is also the level cap for players in version 1.0.
According to the hearsay rumors on the forum, the game "One Piece" will release a total of six versions, with a final level of 120.
Players can only unlock the corresponding level cap after each version update.
But there are many similar sayings on the game forum, and only a few people believe it. Who let the game official never release any serious press release or even a comment?
Back to the topic.
Even before Adrian was practicing hard in the Isshin Dojo in East Blue and officially stepped into the Sword Hero, the first player to reach level 20 had already appeared.
At that time, this matter was still a hot topic on the official game forum.
The first player to reach level 20 was named [Maruya].
In the real world gaming community, this ID was also very famous.
Unlike the "Famous Pants-Off Party" [Golden Spirit].
[Maruya] was very passionate about "leveling up by grinding experience". In any game he played, this familiar ID would always appear at the top of the level leaderboard, as if there were countless livers supporting him from behind.
Previously, when the closed beta began, Maruya did not have the opportunity to participate in the closed beta, only later he was able to enter open beta.
Maruya, who landed in the South Blue at the beginning, was deeply attracted by Adrian's words after facing the new pillar of Second Treasure Navy that exploded on the forum and it became the sole reason for him to confirm his main profession.
However, because Adrian's main activity area was in the West Blue at the time, Maruya, who was unable to cross the ocean barrier, had no choice but to give up the idea of following Adrian to learn skills and change jobs.
After working hard for thousands of hours and earning enough Beli, Maruya resolutely became a disciple of the sword school on the novice island, and was the first to obtain the main profession of [Swordsman Apprentice].
After that, Maruya continued to grind experience and do quests, finally becoming the first player in the game to reach level 20. He was also quite generous in sharing the changes that occurred when he reached the version limit on the forum.
Also, it is for this reason that players came to know that the level cap in version 1.0 of "One Piece" is indeed level 20.
At first, many people had doubts, but as more and more reached level 20, it confirmed that this was indeed the version limit.
However, such a discovery did not hinder the players' enthusiasm for the game.
Even at the level cap, experience points did not stop accumulating, and they could still continue to do quests and gain experience.
Moreover, in such a highly realistic virtual game, the fun was not limited to just leveling up by gaining experience!
Of course, the more important reason was that this level cap only applied to the primary profession. If players obtained a secondary profession, they could still bring corresponding attribute and power improvements.
At this time, the total number of players entering the game had already exceeded a million and was still rising. The official game forum was a lively scene.
"I finally entered the game! Ah! This light! Ah! This water!"
"Wow! Look at this [image]! This is really something unique!"
"There was once a simple basic profession in front of me, but I didn't cherish it. I regretted it only after I lost it. If the official could give me another chance, I would say four words to my self three months ago: Don't become a pirate!
If I have to explain the reason, then it is…"
"Damn it, I'm arrested by the Marines again!"
"The last time I escaped from the prison by committing suicide, this time they learned their lesson and locked me to the floor with a chain! And they locked me flat on my back! I'm so impressed by the intelligence of these NPCs, I want to delete my account and start over now!"
Meanwhile, there were also many players actively posting on the South Blue forum.
Suddenly, a new post caught the attention of the South Blue players who were browsing the forum.
"Big Trouble has finally come to the South Blue! [Excited][Crying]"
A group of people commented below.
"'What? Big Trouble is actually coming to the South Blue?' You think I would reply like that, right?"
"Don't spread rumors."
"No picture, you're just talking about a dream bubble!"
However, more and more posts were refreshed in the South Blue forum, many of which included pictures of crowds of people. The "Big Trouble" surrounded by a group of players in the center was particularly eye-catching.
At this time, the South Blue players who were browsing the forum couldn't help but be in a state of half-believing and half-doubting.
When Adrian was traveling in the West Blue, the South Blue players thought that this "Big Trouble" was a game benefit exclusive to West Blue players. After all, the intelligence that leaked out during the beta period showed that Big Trouble was very active near the Kano Country.
However, when Adrian set off for the North Blue, the mood of the South Blue players suddenly changed.
If the Big Trouble was going to the North Blue, then wouldn't he also come to the East Blue or the South Blue?
In the past, in order to argue whether the Big Trouble would go to the East Blue first or the South Blue first, the players from the East and South Blue had erupted in a series of verbal exchanges on the forum.
In the end, the South Blue players sadly discovered that the Big Trouble had gone to the East Blue first…
Well, it's okay if he goes to the East Blue first. It's just a matter of time.
When Adrian finished the last rookie village in the East Blue, the South Blue players were filled with anticipation. Finally, it was their turn.
However, the truth was too cruel, like a bolt from the blue.
After ending his journey in the East Blue, the Big Trouble suddenly disappeared!
Day after day, the disappearance of the Big Trouble was almost a month of game time!
With their expectations dashed, the strong contrast caused the South Blue players to have a major breakdown. During that time, the South Blue forum was a drowned in sorrow.
At that time, even players from other regions joined in, mocking the South Blue players for being abandoned by Big Trouble.
However, to everyone's surprise, Big Trouble actually came to the South Blue?
Some players who felt insulted by Big Trouble vowed never to go to him for skill training again, as their self-esteem was damaged.
Nevertheless, there were still many low-level rookie players eagerly awaiting Big Trouble's arrival. For them, practicality mattered more than saving face!
Amidst these varied reactions, Adrian briskly embarked on his experience-harvesting journey on the South Blue's newbie islands.
The situation didn't deviate much from the initial expectations. As most South Blue players had successfully advanced in their classes. Although they had accumulated substantial experience points, their enthusiasm for spending had declined. The total experience harvest in the South Blue was only about half of that in the East Blue.
Nevertheless, Adrian felt a considerable sense of accomplishment in his heart, having finally cleared all the newbie villages in the outer seas.
