Equipment is mostly obtained by scavenging, and killing is mostly done by sneaking around...
According to internal testing at the studio, this new "battle royale" gameplay received unexpectedly positive feedback, so they quickly decided to officially launch the new map.
This year's carnival has a lot of content, and Blue Star Studio has done a very thorough job in preparing for it.
Of course, the players also have an even more fulfilling experience.
Because this year's carnival tickets, apart from 50% of the invitations still being randomly drawn by the system, the remaining 50% all went to various game channels!
This is something the players have been asking for.
[Please, game developers, give unlucky players a break!!! I've participated in every event for four years in a row, and I still haven't received a single invitation! Is this even a human life?! Please, can't you stop relying solely on luck and give us a chance to demonstrate our skills?!]
The designers all smiled kindly when they saw this request.
"Okay, no problem. Let's select some qualified players for each game. Of course, spots are limited, first come, first served."
So, in the month leading up to the carnival...
The players who rush from one event to another have appeared!

The so-called "working on multiple jobs" refers to a way of working: working multiple part-time jobs a day, either working or on the way to work at any time.
One can imagine how desperately the worker must be for money to make such a difficult decision.
A player posted his schedule for the next few days on the Blue Star forum.
I got up at six in the morning, played a game of League of Legends, got my first win of the day, and gained one more chance to enter the prize draw.
Arrive in "Xia Ke Xing" before 7:00 AM, complete three sect missions, and you'll get +1 chance to win a prize.
Complete the latest version of Minecraft around 9 PM – after years of research, players have successfully reduced the shortest completion time to within tens of seconds, making it very easy to complete. +1 chance to win a prize.
Try to kill one boss in "The Soul of Mortals" before 12 o'clock to increase your chances of winning a prize.
Participate in the daily activities and tasks of "Xia Ke Xing" in the afternoon. The specific tasks will be determined according to the date and the in-game storyline, and may take a lot of time. You will also receive +1 chance to win a prize.
Spend the rest of the afternoon completing a side quest or adding new story content for "Blue Star Apocalypse" to increase your chances of winning a prize.
If you go to the Assassin's Way forum before 8 PM to participate in the forum activities, you will be eligible for a prize draw +1.
At 8 PM sharp, participate in the random world quest in "Xia Ke Xing" and you'll get +1 chance to win a prize.

All things considered, by rushing around to do odd jobs every day, I managed to get a total of eight chances to participate in the lottery.
However, his days are always packed with activities; he's truly a hardworking migrant worker.
In fact, if players have extra time, they have some other options.
For example, every time a player gets a pentakill in League of Legends, they get +1 chance to win a prize.
For example, you can freely explore the world map of Mortal Souls and collect all 12 Easter eggs to qualify for a prize draw.
Every game has a similar daily task and a challenge task, both of which players can complete through their own efforts or skills.
—What? You don't have the skill to get a pentakill?
—People who are bad at the game aren't eligible for the prize draw :)
As a result, a large portion of the remaining 50% of the invitations ended up in the hands of those who had more chances to participate in the lottery.
Some hardcore gamers or tech gurus have a dozen or more chances to win a prize every day, so their chances of winning are naturally several times higher than the average person.
Of course, if you're still unlucky and can't draw anything even after all this, then there's nothing you can do...
After all, there are hundreds of billions of players on Earth, but only a few thousand people will ultimately receive an invitation to attend the carnival.
No matter how many selections are made, in the end it still comes down to a lottery.
Most people who can't get an invitation will eventually receive a reward.
Each time they fail to win a prize, they can accumulate 1 point.
Bluestar also launched its "Points Mall" at the beginning of this year.
The main source of these points is top-ups. Points are accumulated every time you purchase a Blue Star game or make a cash purchase.
During the event, you will receive 1 point for every draw, regardless of whether you win an invitation.
The points mall is also full of various items, mainly including peripheral content for various games, paid appearances, special titles, and name frames.
Mingyan also knew that what players liked most was not the actual benefits, but the unique honor.
Otherwise, "limited edition" items wouldn't be so rare!
As we all know, the rarity of items in online games is often rudimentary.
141. Exhibition Match Opening Ceremony
The promotional video for "The Way of the Assassin" maintains the style of Blue Star as always.
From an art perspective, each shot has a full composition and reasonable color matching, making it pleasing to the eye for players at first glance.
Many shots, such as the scene where the Great Demon King walks over gracefully, are so good that every single frame could be used as a desktop wallpaper.
