One stays in Dreamland while the other is in the Oasis in desert. It would be extremely hard to challenge the King of Nian beasts and players will need higher-level special equipment, weapons and teammates. The King of Nian beasts would gradually drop Memory of Spring and Horn of Nian beast when its health drops. Players can find precious Nian beast’s Eggs after defeating the King of Nian beasts. By using Nian beast’s Egg, players can hatch their own Nian beasts. Note: All Nian beasts in the wild cannot be tamed.
Preparation for the spring:
To prepare for the challenges in Spring event, there are some special contents added in this event. Special contents: 1. Memory of Spring: The basic memory of Spring event, provides memories of special weapons and food. It’s also the basic material for crafting other Spring event items.

Ice Nian Beast: There’s a small probability that players could acquire an Ice Nian beast Egg when defeating the King of Nian Beasts, which can be hatched into Ice Nian beasts by Incubator or Large Incubator. Ice Nian beasts’ attack causes ice elemental damage. Ice elemental attacks causes extra damage to Nian beasts, but Ice Nian beasts is also weak to fire elemental damage. Giant Nian Beast: By converting Memory of Spring and Horn of Nian beast into anima in Nian Beast Altar, you can upgrade and merge Nian beasts to eventually get a Giant Nian beast with its true power released. The King of Glacier: Rare creature merged by Ice Nian beasts, causes massive ice elemental damage.

Major Content Adjustment: The Explorer
Basic Character Attributes:
We significantly adjusted the hunger and thirst attributes. Now they are no longer your burden in your adventure. When the temperature is comfortable, players will not suffer from any negative effects from being hungry or thirsty. Hunger Attribute: The Hunger Attribute is changed into character’s cold resistance. Most food will no longer provide satiety and only specific cooked food can recover your cold resistance. So, in areas where temperature is fine, players no longer have to eat food for survival. Only keep in mind to prepare these food and warm clothes when setting off for cold areas. Thirst: In most areas, being thirsty will not bring you any negative effects. Still, water can help you endure heat. Also, most Seeds of Heart’s ability consumes water, so preserving water is still beneficial. We adjusted the interfaces displaying basic attributes and only health and thirst is displayed now.

For previous players, the appearance of your characters will be automatically changed into the new pajama version based on previous appearance. We are still working on developing the function allowing players to modify their character appearance in game. However, if players would like to modify the appearance of their existing characters in this version, you can enter a new server without previous archive, edit the character appearance in creating-character interface and there would be a unique Appearance Code down the left side beneath the character name bar. Copy that code and send it to us via QQ or Discord, and we can send you a corresponding gift code to help you change your character appearance.

Swimming Dash - do you still have the bad memory of swimming slowly in the water? Now what you need is simply clicking the Evasion button, then you will enter the Swimming Dash mode. You can swim a long distance in a minute, helping you swiftly get rid of the awkward situation. In addition to these three new actions, we also adjusted some actions’ performance effects, including some details -- when you turn sharply or suddenly stop during a running Evasion, for example, there will be sharp stop effects, to improve the gaming experience.
Weapon Master
We have improved the experience of melee weapons by redesigning the attack skills of heavy weapons(such as Wooden Stick) and adjusting some of combat skills of Spear. Now melee weapons have more skills, with many starting skill added. When a player begin to attack, different skills will be applied, depending on the current speed and status, such as standing, running and sprinting. Meanwhile, these starting skills can also be applied into the combos. Heavy weapons now have a charge attack mode. Long press the button can trigger the charge attack and different charge attacks will be applied according to your current status like standing, walking, running and dodging. Charge attacks are more powerful than normal attack with a larger range. You can also preform a jump attack with heavy weapons which has more powerful effects, helping you paralyze your enemies more easily. The spear's attacks have also been adjusted with optimized actions. The related actions are more reasonable now, the moving range during a combo is reduced. With the newly added Evasion, the battle will be more controllable and easy to operate. The speeds of the arrow, both starting speed and flying speed, are increased, to improve the hit rate. After this adjustment, the role of melee weapons will be more important, especially blunt weapons, which can help you stun animals with less efforts. In addition to the player’s combat skills, we have optimized some combat skills of pigs and wolves.
Intensive Planting
Adjustments have been made to address the previous problem of overly cumbersome planting in the middle and late stages. In addition to the previous reduction in gathering and fertilizing time, this version adds more advanced fields to help you to achieve the mass planting. We have introduced some larger fields with 1*4, 3*3 and even 4*4 sizes, including: [table] [tr] [th]Primary Ridge: 1*4 [/th] [th]Moderate Ridge: 1*4 [/th] [th]Advanced Ridge: 1*4 [/th] [/tr] [tr] [td][/td] [td][/td] [td][/td] [/tr] [tr] [th]Primary Field: 3*3 [/th] [th]Moderate Field: 3*3 [/th] [th]Advanced Field: 3*3 [/th] [/tr] [tr] [td][/td] [td][/td] [td][/td] [/tr] [tr] [th]Primary Large Field: 4*4 [/th] [th]Moderate Large Field: 4*4 [/th] [th]Fertile Large Field: 4*4 [/th] [/tr] [tr] [th][/th] [th][/th] [th][/th] [/tr] [/table] These advanced fields are larger in size, and multiple seeds can be planted on a single field. The materials used to make advanced field are far cheaper than making multiple fields with the same area. In addition, new larger fields can help reduce the lag caused by multiple fields. The most important thing is that you can grow multiple crops with single field, and you only need to fertilize one field ! When Fertilizer is applied on these larger fields, its effective time will be reduced. However, because you can grow more crops, the larger fields you plant, the more cost effective you will gain. When you obtain the memories for these larger fields, it will be a good idea to dismantle the old fields and begin to make larger ones. The special memories for these new larger fields can be obtained through some items like Flower of Enlightenment, Flower of Splendor, Fruit of Wisdom, and Pulp of Saint.
We have added new items to address some fragmentary problems. 1. Battery: A permanent battery for machine tools. Once installed on a machine tool with a generator area, you can use the power from the generator to charge the machine tool and get rid of the chemical battery. 2. Eggplant Pot: cheap cooked food, suitable for feeding animals in the early and middle stages. 3. Blessing of Abundance: The most effective fertilizer. When applied on a field, its effect can last a whole day. 4. Dream Pot: special for flowers of Splendor and Fantasy.

Forecast for Subsequent Updates
With many things updated this week, we have a more clear vision and direction of the game’s whole content. In the future, we will further adjust the the production process(don’t worry, you will get more products with less resource. We will be more generous), redefine the water and the foods to reduce the pressure of water and food in the early stage, and add some ways by which character can strengthen themselves. We will add some new directions for animals to evolve. In the design of combat system, we will further improve the actions and skills if possible, strengthen the differentiation of animals, equipment and weapons. Different attacks, defenses, properties and other aspects will be more distinct, so that the combats will become more strategic.
