Reborn as a Transcendent-Chapter 691Book 3: : The Impact of the Version Update

Overseas, on the Dorado server of the United States.

After reviewing the update notes, Mira’s shock was written all over her face. “This update is insane!”

She was especially struck by the Bloodline Synthesis System. Just recently, she had been fretting over not having a top-tier bloodline. Now, with this version update, the game had handed her a chance to perfect her lineage.

“It’s pricey, sure, but at least I get to make up for it!” The corners of her lips curled into a smile, the astonishment on her face gradually replaced by joy.

Like a small handful of players back then, Mira had participated in the bloodline lottery. Unfortunately, after spending eight million, she only managed to get a second-tier bloodline.

Barely a few days into the game, she had already experienced firsthand the benefits of a powerful bloodline. But by then, it was too late to reroll. But now, with a chance to fix it, a chance to ascend to the highest tier, how could she not be delighted?

“Hehe, once I patch up my bloodline, I’ll be a perfect being!” At this moment, Mira was so excited she could barely contain herself.

And she wasn’t alone, many players across the game shared her elation.

“Excellent. I must obtain the highest-tier bloodline!” Taurus slapped the table in excitement.

Before officially entering the game, he had spent five million, but still didn’t land a particularly strong bloodline. Now that there was an opportunity to upgrade it, he definitely wouldn’t let it slip by. To Taurus, any problem that could be solved with money wasn’t a real problem.

Compared to the bloodline system, S.K.Y. was more intrigued by the Faction Shop. ‘Joining a faction not only unlocks access to the corresponding shop, but also grants bonus experience and status effects. The higher the favorability with the faction, the greater the benefits. This is actually pretty solid.’

He reflexively adjusted his imaginary gold-rimmed glasses, a rare ripple of emotion surfacing in his mind. At this point, S.K.Y. had already made up his mind about which faction to join.

“This new Pugilist class costs five million to switch to? Are they out of their minds?” Vanessa had just logged in and raised her brows at the update log, her voice tinged with surprise.

Everyone turned to look at her with oddly amused expressions. Taurus and S.K.Y. had the same thought in sync: This Job was basically made for you!

On the other side, the [Princess Alliance] guild was also discussing the patch in their guild chat.

Nangong Lin: This update doesn’t seem all that special.

Sachiel: Just another new Job.

Pixie: The Bloodline Synthesis System should be pretty helpful for Snowy, Yuenen, and Little Fairy.

Yuenen: Looks like it can enhance our bloodlines.

Little Fairy: Yeah, it’s definitely good for us.

Snowy: Agreed.

Rakshasa: The new Job isn’t for me.

Nangong Lin: The in-game livestream function is neat!

Pixie: Yeah, now we can watch without logging out. Super convenient.

Sachiel: We can sneak a peek at Princess when we’re free…

Yuenen: But lately she’s been doing her own thing, huh?

Little Fairy: That’s right.

***

At that moment, Yae-hime1 entered the guild chat.

Everyone: Princess!

As expected, the moment she appeared, she immediately became the center of attention for all the girls.

Yae-hime: Good evening, everyone.

Nangong Lin: Good evening, Princess!

Rakshasa: *Muah!*

Sachiel: Rakshasa, why are you blowing kisses?

Pixie: Mhm, I smell something suspicious.

Little Fairy: Good evening, Princess.

Snowy: Good evening, Princess. I’m Snowy, the new member. We’ve met once before.

Yunuen: Good evening, Princess!

Yae-hime: Mm, looks like everyone’s here. Snowy, right? Welcome to our family.

Alright, let’s keep the chit-chat brief.

Since time is limited, I’ll get straight to the point.

As you’ve already discussed, the only useful part of this update for us is the Bloodline Synthesis System.

Livestreaming… maybe just barely counts.

As for the new Job, does anyone want to become a Pugilist?

Snowy: I do.

Yae-hime: So it’s useful after all, haha.

Snowy: Yes, I’m more proficient in hand-to-hand combat. The Pugilist class suits me well.

Pixie: I’ve trained in swordsmanship, no need to switch.

Yae-hime: Mm, let’s put the new Job aside for now. Let’s talk about factions.

As you all know, the game is divided into three major factions: Light, Chaos, and Dark.

Joining a faction grants access to the Faction Shop, as well as bonus experience and status effects.

For most players, joining a faction comes with plenty of benefits.

But for us, it’s different… we already have top-tier bloodlines, high-grade gear, and distinguished identities.

There’s absolutely no need to join a faction and be bound by its restrictions.

Besides, those so-called perks aren’t free. Once you join, you’ll incur obligations in return.

And afterward, you’ll be dealing with all sorts of trouble.

As for the matter of the two worlds merging, Yae-hime couldn’t tell them just yet. She would wait until the time was right before making it public.

Nangong Lin: That’s true. Those perks seem free, but really, they just come at a different cost.

Pixie: Nothing is more expensive than “free.”

Yunuen: Yeah.

Rakshasa: I just want to follow Princess.

Little Fairy: Me too.

Snowy: Same here.

Sachiel: Count me in as well!

Yae-himei: Good. I won’t let you down!

***

Seeing this, everyone was filled with joy.

After chatting with them a little longer, Yae-hime left the guild chat. She then exited the living room and headed to the village chief’s house to find Angelica.

At the same time, in Yanjing, at the top floor of the Mo Family Mansion.

**Splash—**

In a sleek and minimalist bathroom, warm water cascaded from the showerhead, streaming down a figure as pale and flawless as jade, both beautiful and alluring. A slender hand swept through damp black hair, revealing a face so delicate it seemed almost too perfect.

Droplets ran from her cheeks to her chin, trickling down twin peaks, over smooth plains, and into hidden valleys. The water continued to flow, endless and rhythmic, like a downpour powerful enough to wash away the world.

After bathing, the stunning woman, now exuding a gentle peachy fragrance, reclined against a luxurious sofa, sipping a glass of chilled water while reviewing an urgent report sent by one of her subordinates.

This woman was none other than Mylene’s mentor, the top-ranked figure in Cathay, Lisa of the Mo (Black)2 family.

“The update rolled out rather quickly,” she murmured as she stared at her phone screen. Her tone carried a chill that exuded an unusual sense of pressure.

“A new Job: Pugilist. Interesting. Might be fun to give it a try.”

After placing her glass on the table, Lisa sat upright and crossed her long, elegant legs. Had anyone been present to witness this casual gesture, their blood would have surged uncontrollably, their rational mind overwhelmed by primal instinct.

In the end, they’d have become little more than a beast, lunging forward without a second thought.

“Bring me a terminal.” With a snap of her fingers, a neatly dressed woman in her mid-twenties appeared in the living room.

“Yes, Madam.” Before long, the woman returned with a brand-new gaming terminal.

“Don’t let anyone disturb me tonight.” With those words, Lisa left the living room, terminal in hand, heading back to her private quarters.

That night, Cathay’s number one finally entered the game.
