Forced Logout, the Update Begins

Principal Wang wanted to find Murong Qiudi immediately, but it seemed he could only wait until next time.
Because at this moment, a huge notification window had appeared in front of all players still in Great Jianghu.
"System Announcement: Dear players of Great Jianghu, we will perform the first maintenance update in three minutes."
"At that time, all players will be forced to log out. To avoid unnecessary losses, please end combat or other operations within three minutes. Thank you for your support."
"Damn, the update is starting now!"
"Didn't they say it would be tomorrow?"
"Looking down, it's already past midnight. Talk about being on time!"
"Finally updating! This way, when we enter the game in the future, we can directly choose the Great Song!"
"Right, right, right, the Great Ming side has been mostly explored. If there are more beta slots, we'll choose the Great Song directly!"
"I wonder if there will be other functions opened besides the new map."
"It would be great if we could add friends!"
This sudden update announcement immediately excited the online community. Although Great Jianghu was great, sometimes it still felt a bit incomplete. First of all, the difference between players and NPCs was truly too vast.
Most of the time, they could only play the role of an outsider witnessing the story, making it difficult to participate. Those who could be granted power and take off like Sister Zhou were, after all, a minority.
Taking advantage of this time, many players also began targeting the beta test slots. According to their speculation, after this update, a batch of new slots would definitely be released.
If they posted some interesting analysis articles on the official website now, they would have a great chance of being selected!
"Just how high is the martial arts level of Yaoyue and Lianxing?"
"Guide to obtaining the Liuren Shendou from Murong Qiudi!"
"Can Sister Zhou defeat Guo Furong now?"
"How long will it take for Dazed Xiao Qi'er to comprehend the Lianhua Baojian?"
"Can Xiaoli Flying Dagger Li Xunhuan defeat Shangguan Jinhong?"
"What is Murong Qiudi's ultimate purpose in founding Tianzun?"
"How high is Murong Qiudi's martial arts?"
"Will Yue Buqun's image collapse?"
"The latest ranking of experts and forces!"
"Are the identities of the people in Tongfu Inn real or fake!"
While the game was updating, countless analysis articles sprouted like mushrooms after rain on the Great Jianghu website.
"Wow, are they all waiting here?"
Late at night, the Great Jianghu website was even more bustling than during the day.
Gu Lin was also a bit speechless. He didn't expect these people to hold back for several days, waiting for the update announcement to post their articles. Of course, some wrote their analyses right after watching Xiao Duanduan's livestream.
For example, that analysis of Tongfu Inn made Gu Lin exclaim "impressive".
"We all know Old Bai and Little Guo have very good skills, especially Old Bai. Not only is his lightness skill superb, but he also knows acupoint pressing. These are very consistent with the Thief Sage identity he often jokes about."
"Most importantly, Old Bai knows the tricks of the jianghu like the back of his hand."
"We have every reason to believe that Old Bai is using the opportunity of joking to speak the truth."
"Looking back at Guo Furong, through Xiao Duanduan's daily livestreams, we see that although Guo Furong is very restrained, her temper is actually still very fiery, often revealing her young mistress personality."
"In addition, there is another point: she only knows a little bit about jianghu matters, but she knows some martial arts, which also fits the Six Doors young mistress identity she often jokes about."
"Now let's look at the proprietress Tong Xiangyu. Daily, she is always a stingy, money-grubbing boss who doesn't know martial arts. But today, the notification window during Xiao Duanduan's livestream made everything clear. This proprietress not only knows martial arts, but is absolutely a top expert. The Yihun Great Method sounds very powerful too!"
"While other hotels pay at least seven or eight silver coins a month, Shopkeeper Tong only pays two silver coins and can still make a rich young mistress like Guo Furong happily accept it. The Palace Master of the Qijue Palace on Diancang Mountain—this identity is absolutely real!"
"Actually, we should have realized sooner. If this proprietress were truly just an ordinary person, could she make an experienced person like Old Bai and a rich young mistress like Guo Furong obediently listen to her?"
"And there is the hotel's accountant, Lu Xiucai. His daily performance is just a poor scholar who keeps failing the exams, but viewers who frequently watch Xiao Duanduan's livestreams should know that Lu Xiucai often has this phrase on his lips:"
"'Memorized a thousand characters at three, Tang poetry at five, the Four Books and Five Classics at seven, and mastered poetry and prose at eight.' This is clearly a genius!"
"How could such a genius keep failing the exams? How could he just be a poor scholar?"
"Therefore, when Lu Xiucai jokes that he is the Scholar Sage, we have every reason to believe it is also true. He is deliberately using a joking tone to state his true identity!"
"Finally, Li Dazui. Although he shows nothing special daily, in an inn where even Mo Xiaobei's identity is not simple, how could there be an ordinary person?"
"Therefore, when Li Dazui says he is the God of Gamblers and the God of Cookery, this is definitely true as well."
"In short, Tongfu Inn is a place of crouching tigers and hidden dragons, completely a group of experts who grew tired of the jianghu and secluded themselves here. This is 'Great Hermit in the Market'!"
"Some might say Guo Furong doesn't count as a jianghu person, so I guess Guo Furong probably discovered everyone's identity in the inn, which is why she deliberately stayed."
"The poster is amazing, this analysis is too logical!"
"The proprietress aside, who knew Lu Xiucai and Li Dazui were also so formidable!"
"So Xiao Duanduan's luck is too good, starting right next to Tongfu Inn!"
"As long as she can build a good relationship with the people in the inn, Xiao Duanduan will take off directly!"
"Yes, at first I thought Xiao Duanduan's refugee identity was useless. That dog developer didn't give her a back door, but now it seems this is the biggest back door!"
Uh, this...
Gu Lin was also dumbfounded. You guys are truly "Big Smarties"!
In Great Jianghu, he had indeed added Tong Xiangyu's easter egg!
But, Li Dazui and Lu Xiucai really didn't have anything special about them!
