Chapter 161 - 121, System Update
Debts of sleep must be repaid. While Lin Ma tried to catch up on 10 hours of two days’ worth of sleep, the system woke everyone up at eight in the morning with a notification: It’s the first winter in the homeland, and players are welcomed by cold temperatures. To further enhance realism, the game underwent another update. First, infinite durability for base firearms has been cancelled...
After the modification, firearm durability will continue to decrease with the use of the gun and can be manually repaired. If one has a bonus from handicraft knowledge, repair time only takes 5 seconds; otherwise, it takes 10 seconds. The lower the firearm’s durability, the more likely it is to jam and require 10-20 seconds to disassemble and reassemble the firearm. When durability drops to 20%, continuing to fire the gun may result in it breaking. Revolvers and bolt-action rifles have no durability concerns, cannot jam, and will not break.
Second, the ammunition mode has been changed.
After the change, one cannot shoot a magazine until the universe explodes, nor can they just pull the magazine and slot it back in; they must replace the magazine. Taking 41 as an example, a 41 magazine contains 30 bullets, Maya needs an additional loaded magazine to continue firing after expending the bullets or during a reload midway. She must remove the empty magazine and store it in her backpack or pocket and then load the full magazine into the firearm. If there are bullets in the backpack, they will quickly be added to the spare magazine. Even when firing at the base, it’s necessary to switch back and forth between two magazines.
In the item warehouse, all types of magazines can be replicated for free.
Third, changes have been made to the direct resource acquisition modes such as Fishing, Hunter, and Lichen.
For Fishing, one must catch two fish the day before to contribute two food units to the base at eight o’clock the next day. The Hunter must kill any mammal the day before to add one food unit to the base. Lichen must gather at least one herb the day before to add one medical unit to the base.
Fourth, changes have been made to the medical room’s function.
After the update, the medical beds in the medical room can only contain infection; they cannot reduce infection. Serum injections must be used to clear the infection. To make it easier for players to obtain serum, 20% of ordinary zombies will transform into Blood Plague zombies.
