As a funny-looking porcupine fell to the ground, Wang Xu's body glowed with a halo, and the level on his head became LV5. Cat Master also upgraded at the same time, but so far he has not been killed.
Dong Dong, Wang Xu killed all the monsters, and Master Mao just sat by and shared experience.
"I said... when are you going to see it? Have you seen the bug yet?!" Wang Xu asked impatiently.
In fact, Mr. Cat has not done anything. He just asked the NPC in Novice Village for a "game manual". This thing is in the shape of an electronic dictionary and contains an amazing amount of information. It is basically equivalent to the manual of this game.
.
"How can anyone find a bug if everyone can ask the NPC for the game manual for free?" Mr. Cat continued to look at the screen of the game manual. He could read ten lines at a glance and quickly understand and memorize it, but this
The description of the game is really extensive and profound. Wang Xu has already helped two people practice level five on his own, and he hasn't read the entire book yet.
"Then you are so stupid?! You just want to trick me out of experience!"
Master Mao's eyes remained completely still and he weakly replied: "You continue killing monsters. From now on, I will watch and analyze the content behind and explain to you what I have already mastered."
Wang Xu sighed and had no choice but to pick up his sword and kill the porcupines again.
Master Mao began his explanation: "First of all, killing five hundred players within five hundred hours is our fundamental purpose. Everything serves this purpose. In order to achieve this, our level improvement is necessary.
This is the law of online games. The higher the level, the closer it is to the core content. During this period, as long as the character is not too low, according to probability, the equipment will definitely be improved accordingly. "
Wang Xu said: "You want to express some opinions on the fact that I haven't released any equipment yet, right?"
Master Mao continued as if he didn't hear anything at all: "This is an online game that introduces brain waves. In this multiverse, their scientific civilization is about thirty years ahead of our planet, and they can already transform human brain waves."
It is a computer language that uses consciousness instead of fingers as a means of control. To put it bluntly, it is very similar to The Matrix. After loading the game, people who play the game can hardly tell the difference between controlling a virtual character here and controlling their own body.
However, although the brain is connected to the game, the connection with the body in the real world still exists. Players can still take off the game helmet immediately and be forced to log off. Therefore, it can be concluded that playing such a game is like controlling one's second world with thoughts.
No matter how much you practice, your body will never be able to match the body in the real world."
Wang Xu seemed to have completely missed the point of this passage. The first question that came to his mind was: "You mean, thirty years from now, we will be able to have online games like this on earth?"
Master Mao sighed: "Actually, there is a field that you don't know about - 'military technology'. This stuff is generally about twenty years ahead of civilian technology. Therefore, theoretically speaking, after ten years, as long as there is
Which superpower government suddenly decides to let the country's Ministry of National Defense use all existing means to develop an online game like this? Then it will be successful. Do you have any other stupid questions that have nothing to do with our ultimate goal?
?”
"What do you think you think you're crazy about?"
"I don't care. It's not difficult to multitask anyway. Besides, answering this kind of question doesn't require any thinking at all. To a certain extent, it's just like eating and sleeping. It's a task that can be done without thinking. Do more.
Things like this can activate my hypothalamus and help my brain think at a higher level. You see, my reading speed has obviously accelerated. Just talking to you, a silly nerd, makes me feel like a fountain of thoughts."
Wang Xu was very unhappy, but had no way to refute, so he had to vent his anger by hacking the wild boar harder.
Master Mao quickly returned to the previous topic: "Unlike other players, our existence itself is a bug. The most obvious point is the way we communicate with this binary world. Other players are using brain waves to control characters.
There is a very short but real delay in the middle, which is a necessary process to convert the human nervous system language into computer language. But we don’t have this problem, we are like playing a game with our souls, and we can be 100%
Use your body effectively in this game.
Of course, what follows is the problem of not being able to force offline. After all, the soul cannot leave the body, but that is not a problem. We also get another advantage in the game because of this - infinite energy. You can
Check your own character status. From the time you first started killing monsters to now, your energy has been full, which shows that we will never be in a 'fatigue' state."
Master Mao paused here. He seemed to have seen some key content in the game manual. A fanatical light suddenly flashed in his decadent eyes, but after a few seconds, he returned to his sleepy face.
, and then said: "Because you are 'unable' to go offline, you 'gain' unlimited energy. Anyone who participates in 'Sword Hunting' will quickly discover this after entering this game. Even if the analysis ability is not as good as mine, you have to come up with 'this'."
It's the devil's reminder that it's not difficult at all.
To sum up, the conclusion is that here, our differences will bring about neutral and unfavorable conditions. If we discover and transform these conditions into bugs that are beneficial to us, we can quickly become stronger.
"
Wang Xu knocked over another porcupine with his sword: "If you come over and kill monsters with me, we can become stronger faster, really."
Master Mao yawned, but did not move his butt half a minute: "I studied the part about killing PK carefully. This game does not have a duel system, there is no battlefield specifically for PVP, and there is no NVN arena where you can participate in the form of a small team.
You can attack anyone you dislike in the wild. As long as your actions cause harm to them and they die within the same battle, it will be considered as your death. For example, if someone is fighting a monster
During the battle, you sneak attack him. He kills you first, but then is killed by a monster. In this way, you can also get a kill count. Of course, if you are killed, it will be reduced by one first, and it will still be equal to zero.
In addition, like the situation I just mentioned, because you strike first, after the two of them are resurrected, although the number of kills remains the same, you will have a red name, and the other party will have a blue name.
The PK of this game is very free, so the punishment for red names is also extremely severe. First of all, buying things from NPCs will be very expensive, and selling things cannot be sold at high prices. Secondly, the experience of killing monsters will be reduced, the treasure drop rate will be reduced, and you will die.
Equipment may be exploded. In addition, the energy consumption is greater than that of ordinary people, and the player becomes tired quickly. When the fatigue level is full, he will be forced to go offline. In fact, this is a bit like the legendary "anti-addiction system". The game is designed to protect the player's brain from
Damaged or overloaded due to playing games, this attribute is set that cannot be improved by any means. In other words, the maximum time a player can spend online is sixteen hours of virtual time, which is equivalent to eight hours in reality. Time is up.
, the energy is reduced. The system also has a very complex calculation formula to respond to situations such as taking a break while offline, changing a virtual helmet and reconnecting the account, so that the player's brain must rest.
From this point, we can see that Woody and the others have made careful arrangements. If we kill five hundred players, we will definitely become famous, because there is only a total of twenty-one days and four hours to achieve the goal, and in this multiverse
Our offline bodies are not provided at all, so unlimited energy also solves the problem of red names.
As I said before, the levels set by the devils are definitely ‘can be completed’, the key point is to see our gaming ability.”
Wang Xu kept moving his hands and said without looking back: "Then after we reach the tenth level, we will focus on picking out the kind of leveling spots where there are not too many people, find some nook and corner to hide, and focus on the kind of people who are alone.
Yes, if we defeat half of the monsters, we will swarm up and take advantage of the situation."
Master Mao quickly poured cold water on him: "I only mentioned the red name just now, and there are also blue names and white names. White-name players can take the initiative to attack red-name players, and their names will not change color after killing them, but red-name players
The probability of equipment exploding is higher than that of monsters. As for the guy with a blue name, he is awesome. The only way to change from a white name to a blue name is to be attacked first when you are in the white name. In the end, you will still be attacked.
Kill the opponent. As a result, you can get NPC discounts and experience bonuses, but without extra energy, the fatigue level will still be reduced. But the most important thing is that when the blue name actively kills the red name, the color of the name will change.
It will become deeper, then...bigger discounts, experience. You heard it, the red name is like a street rat, cutting is healthier, even if two red names meet, they will want to destroy each other's equipment.
Take action.
According to your tactic, after killing twenty to thirty people, we will turn red and purple. Then we will never be exposed to others, or even fight monsters. As long as we get to the light, everyone will
Anyone who sees it will want to kill us.
The most outrageous thing is that if you have enough energy to make your name famous to a certain level within the limited online time, you will not even be able to enter the safe zone. The guards in the city will attack you, and so will the commercial NPCs.
Dogs on the street, cows in the village, and all living creatures will attack you. Your wanted notice will also be posted on the city wall, which is considered a task. The person who completes the task will go out of the city to kill you and then return to the city to collect it.
reward."
The corner of Wang Xu's mouth twitched: "Hey... we are going to kill five hundred people. According to this mechanism, won't it be like a thunderbolt?"
Mao Ye did not answer this question, but said: "This game obviously encourages PK. The red name and the blue name will gradually turn white due to the increase in the time they are not online. Since it is quite difficult to change from the white name to the blue name, the blue name
Players will naturally find ways to kill more red names to maintain them before their names change back. And red names are unavoidable. Wherever there are people, there will be grudges, and where there are grudges, there will be rivers and lakes. A group of people will gather together to fight monsters.
Leveling up, wearing equipment, paying for a one-night stand, there will definitely be many stories about hatred as deep as the sea, and love as strong as gold.
So we face a choice."
Wang Xu's hypothalamus was probably not idle either, so he immediately replied: "You mean, in addition to the red-name route, we can also take the blue-name route?"
Master Cat said: "It's not difficult to get started. For example, after level 10, I take the initiative to attack you, and then deliberately let you kill me. As long as you don't die, I don't count as killing someone, and my name is still in vain, and you succeed.
If you become a blue name, my death will exactly offset your kills, and the number of kills of 500 is still zero. After you become a blue name, as long as you do not actively attack blue or white players, your blue name will continue.
, because you have 'no offline time'.
The advantage of this route is that you won’t become a street rat, and it reduces the probability of being attacked first. In addition, we have 500 hours of continuous online time, your blue name will only get deeper and deeper, and you can obtain hard-to-find things.
Believable bonus rewards, money and experience come quickly, and in the event of death, the probability of equipment being exploded is also very low.
Of course, the shortcomings are as obvious as the advantages. That is, this route can only kill red-named players, and red-named guys are definitely hard to find. They are not idiots. They must hide when they go out alone, and they don’t dare to be too aggressive when they go out in groups.
Too arrogant. As for those who dare to show off in the market, there are probably dozens of people, forming gangs and running rampant. With the two of us alone and weak, we probably can't take it.
Also, don’t forget that according to the rules of the Sword Hunting game, we must kill players with ‘higher levels’. In the later stage, because the blue name leveling speed is very fast, it is difficult to find the red name. Players with a higher level than you
, the red name who dared to be alone might be a character like Ashes of Time, Poison in the South, Emperor in the North, Beggar in the North, etc. These grandsons lost their fun in playing the game in the end, and decided to make their names red and wander around alone. No one is eye-catching.
Your lack of education will be wiped out for you."
Master Mao closed the game manual, and it seemed that he had finally finished his research: "The advantage of the second route, the red name route, is that we can kill people at will regardless of the color of the name.
What are the shortcomings? I have already mentioned it before. Judging from our lack of fatigue, just walking on the street at the beginning is a bit like everyone can kill it. Leveling up and equipment will gradually become
Very slow... If we are lucky enough to get the number of kills to more than 200, then the NPC will probably have to mobilize the urban management team to join the players in the mountains to suppress the bandits. Basically, by that time, there will be no cities or villages anymore, even if they are
We shouldn’t show our faces in public places in the barren mountains and ridges...
Next, experience will become a daily limit. Trying to get equipment from monsters is just a daydream. What you are wearing is all your belongings. If someone kills you once, you may be able to run naked. You still cannot get equipment after streaking.
, the strange treasure drop rate is hopeless, so we can only find ways to kill people and explode equipment, but if we don’t have equipment, we can’t kill people, and if we can’t kill people, we can’t get equipment. This cycle goes on and on, and the number of kills slowly decreases to negative. We
But it’s still famous.”
Wang Xu thought for a while and said: "The blue route will be difficult, but the red route is basically a dead end. Well... what about the white route?"
"You can only kill the red name. It is similar to the blue name route, there is no bonus, and it also increases the risk of being attacked by people with the same white name. You have to understand that the blue name itself is a symbol of strength.
"
"What a symbol? According to your method, everyone can change from white to blue."
"Yes, but only once. If the system detects that someone has used this trick twice to become a blue name, he will be punished by being permanently unable to change his name. Don't underestimate the artificial intelligence of this game. After all,
It is a technology that is ahead of ours. A little trick like this would be too inhumane to block you for the first time. All players will want to do something clever, so the system can accommodate you once, but the first time your name turns blue
After that, if you don't have the ability to maintain it, you will eventually turn white, which will inadvertently prompt players to do more online activities. Because they want to maintain their blue names, they have to keep killing red players, so...he needs to
Become stronger, so... spend money to buy equipment, so... PK becomes popular, then... Hong Ming's counterattack, then... grudges, then... Jianghu, and finally... rush for more money."
Wang Xu was confused after hearing this: "Okay, okay... in short, the white route is a useless route, the red route is a dead end, and the blue route is super difficult. Anyway, after choosing the three routes, you have to walk to the black route.
, just tell me, which one?"
Mr. Cat laughed obscenely: "I only need... forty-eight hours."
"Huh?" Wang Xu was shocked.
"Actually, the answer is very simple, just go our separate ways."
"Huh?" Wang Xu was stunned.
Master Mao picked up his sword and walked towards the monster: "The two of us kill monsters together, and we can reach level ten in about three hours. During this process, I will explain the overall layout."
