After Lin An reacted, this sentence flashed through his mind instantly.
It's theoretically possible, but are the benefits really proportional?
Calculated based on his existing 10,000 points, this point is enough to make countless fifth-level people crazy with jealousy. But calculated carefully, it can increase his strength by 1-3% at most. Even if the advanced equipment has one more basic rule, the maximum increase
It will not exceed 10%.
This increase in strength is not enough to cause a qualitative change, unless...
(Unless it’s to break through the critical point! In a complex scene with multiple tasks, there are some tasks that I don’t need to complete. And I am already stronger than the same level, so I rely on this 10% increase to forcefully complete it!
)
Clear thinking.
However, after Lin An thought about this, he still felt something was wrong.
Even if No. 77 can really find this kind of mission for him to enter, how big will the final revenue be to cover the cost? And the next cycle must be guaranteed?
The cost of the hammer is too great! So much so that using it to strengthen itself is a mistake!
(Ten thousand points plus ten thousand points, plus the income from not using this method! With this calculation, you can barely avoid losing money!)
(A mission with a profit of nearly 20,000 points?)
Lin An couldn't help but feel his scalp numb when he thought of this. One head is as big as two! The Ghost Skull reward is so high because it is simply too special! According to the difficulty calculation of the Stars Battlefield, even if he, Lin An, exploits this loophole, he will have to face a very difficult level.
Ridiculously high!
Thinking about it carefully, it is better to use these points to strengthen himself. At least he can get familiar with his power before the battle!
There is a price to pay for being clever!
Not only that...
"Your Excellency, Inspector, I think I understand what you mean."
"But I have a question. If you use this method to reduce the difficulty, then I can directly exchange it for a Death Star weapon, or something like a psychic fruit. As long as you put it in the ring before entering, you can level up, right? Or even exchange it directly.
Props, wouldn’t the effect be better?”
Lin An lowered his head and glanced at the star-casting hammer in his hand. If the effect of cheating by other means was 10, then the maximum effect of this hammer was 0.1.
At best, the security is higher, and the added rules pave the way for the future. But even if you think this way, it is still too reluctant.
"Lin An, do you think that among so many civilizations, no one has thought of the methods you mentioned?"
Contrary to Lin An's expectation, No. 77 chuckled and directly rejected his idea.
"It's useless. As long as you bring these things in, the system will automatically calculate your strength. Don't underestimate the system. Although there seem to be many ways to exploit loopholes, most of them are because the system is too lazy to take care of them. It is said to be a loophole.
In fact, it’s just a trick. The system will punish you in the future!”
"If there is any loophole with huge profits, the system will kill you immediately! I think you should know this very well!"
As a supervisor, No. 77 has naturally seen all kinds of civilizations exploiting loopholes. What kind of strange and unnatural methods have he not seen before? However, the consequences of each are worse than the last!
"It doesn't work? What about before I...?"
Before Lin An finished speaking, 77 shook his tentacles as expected:
"Do you want to talk about the Eye of Creation? Or are you redeeming rewards in the Star Battlefield to increase your combat power?"
"I gave you the Eye of Creation, and you paid a huge price to "redeem" it. Moreover, this thing is extremely special, so it was not included in the system."
"Strictly speaking, you only used part of your combat power in exchange for the Eye of Creation. And you gain points by killing enemies. Under normal circumstances, you cannot improve your strength at all."
"In the system, any resources you obtain through the system are recorded. Don't think you can cheat it so easily!"
"What about the Red Star Dragon?"
Lin An didn't give up and asked, not because he wanted to make a fool of himself, but because he wanted to understand the system mechanism. Even fools know how valuable this opportunity is for the supervisor to answer directly.
"Your Excellency, Supervisor! I have seen fifth-level players with higher levels of power as their trump cards. It seems that this kind of power is not included in the calculation of combat power."
"no the same."
"In the battlefield of stars, what we are fighting for is the foundation of civilization. People who enter with trump cards like this are only effective in civilized battles. If you let him enter other types of missions, he will only die faster."
"But speaking of this, I have something to remind you."
The topic changed, and after No. 77 patiently answered the question, his voice suddenly became solemn:
"Lin An, do you know why most civilizations fail to complete their tasks and go to destruction?"
"Obviously in the apocalypse, civilizations that can survive the first round have given birth to a large number of elites and strong men. It can be said that the entire civilization has undergone a baptism."
"It stands to reason that each mission will give a chance of survival. Although it is getting more and more difficult, each civilization has more and more experience in dealing with it, and its strength is also improving. Theoretically, they can maintain a fragile balance and struggle to survive."
"Because they don't want to make progress? Because their potential is limited? Or maybe the strongest people in their civilization have made the wrong choice. They are greedy for life and afraid of death, and they don't dare to fight anymore."
Faced with the sudden question from No. 77, Lin An answered subconsciously.
He has discussed this issue with his team members many times, including himself, who has often wondered about this.
There seems to be only one answer, and that is that the system is too cruel. It is so cruel that if you make the wrong step, you will die. You cannot retreat. Fearing death will only make you die faster.
"Half right."
No. 77 nodded slightly:
"In addition to the issues you mentioned, there is another very important point."
"That's a matter of points, or resource consumption."
"You should have noticed that the fifth-level civilizations you come into contact with only do two things after obtaining points."
"1: Accumulate points, provide resources for their strongest, and hit a higher level."
"2: Consume points in exchange for a short safety period to gain time for civilization to develop."
"These two ideas seem right, and they are also the approaches that most civilizations will choose. But I want to tell you, this is actually a trap, especially the second one, which is almost a fatal trap!"
After the words fell, Lin An's face suddenly became solemn, and he looked at 77 with some confusion.
In fact, he has always wanted to do this. If the points hadn't been redeemed by Big Eyeball last time, he would have wanted to redeem them for safe time.
Too tired, too much pressure, not just for a short respite. Lin An also realized that if there is another non-single mission, he will most likely be alone! Even if he survives, he, his team members, and everyone on the earth will
The gap in strength will only widen and become a complete burden!
"Why is the second one wrong?"
"According to the rule system, doesn't it require civilization to promote the knowledge of the strongest? Exchange time for development, isn't this a virtuous circle?"
"The strong ones complete the tasks and bring back rewards. The rewards help the entire civilization progress and feed back to the strong ones. If you only rely on yourself to fight alone, the rules will be in the later stages. No, won't there be no way out from the mid-term?"
As early as in the alien world, Lin An had seriously thought about how to take different routes.
Each route has its own advantages and disadvantages. The rules system, like the belief system, belongs to the collective civilization route. If there is no feedback from civilization, wouldn't it be true that only the flesh system is correct?
If nothing else, if the belief system wants to develop, it is impossible for its own civilization to continue to suffer disasters! If everyone is dead, what else can we gather!?
"I said, this is a trap. It was a trap that countless civilizations discovered only after paying the price of blood."
"The tasks issued by the system are actually calculated based on the system rewards obtained by the entire civilization! Even if you do not consume the points, or even consume them on yourself, the difficulty you face is still the same level!"
"Especially for the strongest person in civilization, he has the most rewards and the greatest difficulty!"
"It's like if you make a hundred yuan outside and want to use these 100 kinds of food when you come back, maybe in the long run, the final profit will be higher than spending it directly."
"But it won't last until that time! Civilization itself will make mistakes! The usage rate of resources between the weak and the strong is also very different! If you consume these 100 points, the increased combat power will be 100, but if you put it into
The entire civilization has only 10, or even 1, in a short period of time!"
"One will wax and wane, and most civilizations will find in despair that not only are they unable to enter a virtuous cycle, but they can't even keep up with the resources provided to the strongest!"
"Especially who is not afraid of death? Who doesn't want to keep redeeming safe time!?"
"In the end, their strongest man died from lack of strength, and their civilization was destroyed!"
Lin An was shocked after hearing this. He never thought that among the system rules, there was this perverted rule for determining strength!
No wonder the Black Emperor and others he met were stuck in the Destroy Star, no wonder they were so eager for authority!
At this moment, Lin An also thought of himself! Every time he broke the game to the limit, he was essentially using resources to the extreme! Yes, he had eaten up the world's resources and attracted the hostility of countless people.
But it was also like this that he got to where he is today by accident!
"Then the rule system is wrong!?"
"All resources must be provided to the strongest, so what is the meaning of civilization? Then how do those alliances survive?"
Lin An couldn't help but ask, if this was really the case, then why were the civilizations he encountered all focused on rules and technology? According to the screening theory, after iteration, they should all be meat systems!
Not to mention anything else, the creator civilization seems to have existed for a long time. The rule system that relies on civilization's feedback does not die quickly.
"The answer is very simple, because after these civilizations realized this, although they were unable to reverse it, they were not stupid."
No. 77 spoke calmly, and before leaving, he simply refreshed Lin An on his fifth-level knowledge.
"Lin An, you should have noticed that most civilizations will form alliances, with the strongest civilization as the leader. Like the creators you met, they are happy to absorb other weak civilizations and help them grow quickly."
"This looks good, but it actually has sinister intentions!"
"The master civilization will pretend to provide some cheap help, let the subordinate civilization complete the task, and collect the points."
"As a result, the subordinate civilization's rating is improved, but the rewards that can really strengthen itself are gone. However, the overlord civilization completes the task at a very low cost, and its rating will not be improved, but it receives a large number of rewards out of thin air."
"Because the points are not earned by them, the system will only increase the difficulty for those who complete it."
"The cycle repeats, and the situation of these subordinate civilizations becomes increasingly difficult, and they have to pay more rewards to the master civilization. Under the disparity in strength, they cannot even resist."
"It's like sucking blood. Most of the advanced civilizations and so-called alliances you can see survive like this!"
"Under the feet of these advanced civilizations, there are only bones and corpses of countless civilizations with potential! Not only do these advanced civilizations have no potential, they are also greedy for life and afraid of death, wasting resources! Dragging the entire star field and even the star clusters into hell
!”
As he spoke, No. 77's eyes suddenly flashed with an extremely cold murderous intent!
Lin An has had too little experience! He has never seen all the extremely despicable and ugly civilizations in the apocalypse!
It is no exaggeration to say that these civilizations will even kill hope with their own hands and drag everyone to death!
The end! What is the end!
The situation will evolve to this day, causing countless lives to struggle in pain and despair, leading to destruction! In essence, it is because too many civilizations are already part of the doomsday!
Feeling the rare anger in No. 77's heart, Lin An seemed to be infected for a moment, vaguely guessing that Big Eyeball might have experienced a similar situation.
(Does Big Eyeball actually have potential? He is obviously a supervisor, but he wants to resist the system. I don’t know what happened to him...)
Suppressing distracting thoughts, Lin An looked complicated:
"Then Mr. Supervisor, according to you, isn't the system of rules wrong?"
"I can't spend my points on the earth, so what are my people... going to do... just watch them die? Or should I also learn from these alliances to control subordinate civilizations?"
Confused and heavy.
He succeeds and fails.
To be honest, in the eyes of people who are not familiar with him, Lin An may be like a devil, cold-blooded and selfish.
But Zhang Tie and others who have been with him for a long time know very well that he is full of "heroism" in his bones, always like one person taking on all the pressure and wanting to protect everyone.
Are there dead people? Are there constant deaths?
His condensed beliefs are not too afraid of this, and will even speed up the selection of people who share the same beliefs as him.
"almost."
"Boy, this is the cruelty of the system. As long as you dare to escape, no matter how you escape. The so-called safe time is just the most deadly trap."
"Only by constantly fighting and struggling on the edge of life and death can you and the earth behind you have a glimmer of hope until the end."
"But you don't need to be too pessimistic. Have you forgotten about your change of mission?"
"Although I can't help you change tasks all the time. The earth will inevitably encounter a catastrophic crisis, but it won't die until there are only a few people left."
"Most of those extinct civilizations made it more difficult by themselves. They were like bombs, escaping until they were blown to pieces."
As if to comfort him, No. 77 stopped talking nonsense and pointed his tentacle directly at the Eye of General Repair. In an instant, the exchange space that was originally covered with flesh and blood returned to its original state.
"Okay, kid."
"You should deal with the other participants first, especially the creators."
"Tell them that you will participate in the Star Wars!"
"This matter is very important! Once confirmed, I will tell you what you need to do next!"
While speaking, No. 77 took a deep look at Lin An, as if filled with some kind of expectation and a hint of desolation.
"Lin An, I don't have much time."
"You don't have much time..."
"I'm leaving soon. Before I leave, I will tell you how to use this hammer. Believe me, it will be a hundred times more powerful than you imagine!"
"Rely on it, I hope you can reach that point when I come back..."
Hearing 77's somewhat serious tone, Lin An was stunned. He still had too many questions to ask.
But for some reason, looking at No. 77 who suddenly seemed to have something to deal with, he could only nod his head, thanked him and walked into the teleportation door.
However, after Lin An left, No. 77 did not do anything, just looked at the stars in the distance silently.
