South City, North City, West City, East City, plus Buck and Punk City, the Magic Network has 6 system cities.
The resources consumed are still within the acceptable range, and Bei Gaoyang is generally satisfied.
It only took a total of 5 days to create the systems in these four directions one by one. It felt like playing a special Sims management game.
In fact, whether it is a system city or an intelligent aborigine, in essence, the life that has been 'mutated' by artificial intelligence such as Xiao Ai has no 'soul', or in other words, the soul is based on the magic network.
.
The original system aboriginal was the thread separated from Xiao Ai, which was born by combining [Faith Value] and [Magic Clone]... something that is not easy to determine.
They have all the characteristics of intelligent life, but have no occult attributes. In the mysterious basic rules, they are integrated with the Magic Network, just like the fruit growing on a tree, using the collective IP address of the Magic Network.
Therefore, they cannot provide faith value, nor can they promote the growth and development of the Magic Network, nor can they provide any resources, only tools.
Tool man.
No matter how many tools there are, no matter how perfect they are, they exist for the convenience of players. These four new system cities are very large, each with the size of a small county town. However, considering the nearly one million players and the same number of tourists who are about to influx, these
Arrangement is not enough.
Therefore, Bei Gaoyang's work continues.
"There are 1,000 novice villages, each with a maximum capacity of 1,000 people. I will mark the appropriate location on the map."
"OK."
On the huge game map, Xiao Ai marked the locations suitable for building novice villages. They were all close to the inner circle guarded by the four system cities. The dense light spots flickered, making the originally empty game map look very crowded.
Nearly a million players, scattered over a million square kilometers of land (the theoretical coverage value of the fifth-level magic network), should be more than enough. However, considering their activities, tasks, leveling, spawning monsters, and other
Things like families, gangs, fairs, adventures, etc. can only be said to be just enough.
But in the early stage, if they are all crowded into these 1,000 novice villages, the resources will definitely not be enough. Even if there is a magic disaster, even if the game map is reduced to a barren land, it will not be able to meet such a huge demand.
How to solve it?
Xiao Ai’s plan is the copy mode and the large-scale use of mission scenes.
Just like the online games on Earth, the tasks, leveling and monster spawning and dungeons are layered, and a large number of task spaces, dungeon spaces, and monster refresh spaces are grafted onto the game map, and the large-scale application of [Monster Technique] is used to solve this problem.
Pain points.
When you complete a task, you enter the task space, blocking other players and game functions and content. After completing the task, you jump out and return to the game scene.
The dungeon already has a well-formed template, but it is just copied on a large scale and classified into levels, treasure drops, money acquisition, and mission plots to meet the huge needs of millions of players.
Bei Gaoyang originally accepted this model and planned to invent a 4-level spell called "The Layer of the Magic Network" to solve this problem, but after calculation, he found that he couldn't afford it.
Maybe it’s not enough to invest all the resources saved in the revision of equipment, props and professional skills.
But there is no way around it. You can't just throw it into the abyss battlefield without reaching level 10, right?
It was rare for a stingy little lover to be generous at this time. He persuaded him that this was a necessary infrastructure. Fortunately, the files were deleted this time. The magic network was relaxed and the system resources were in an unprecedented rich state. Even considering the bloody battle in the abyss,
Should, maybe, maybe, can handle it, right?
Bei Gaoyang believes that if you don’t plan carefully from the beginning, what will you do when the time comes to catch someone blind?
Stop the server, apply a patch, or delete files again?
But after much deliberation, I just couldn't find a perfect solution. Wherever the overall needs are, no matter how we do it, we have to come back to this solution.
"That's it, try to save some."
In desperation, I can only let Xiao Ai design according to this plan first, and wait until it comes out to see the effect.
At this time, I looked at the Novice Village marked on the game map and the "supporting infrastructure" near the Novice Village, and imagined what it would be like for millions of players to "eat, drink, and defecate" every day. I didn't feel it was spectacular, I just felt painful.
Xiao Ai roughly estimated a value, and Bei Gaoyang gasped. Sure enough, all the system resources castrated and saved by the deletion were invested.
"I just hope that the results of this test will be better than the previous ones."
"It can't be helped, sir."
1,000 novice villages were built at the same time, and the resources accumulated in the fourth test were opened up. It was like a flood. Just when you were unhappy, someone jumped out to cause trouble.
"The lich is here, my lord."
"Nicholas? That old guy isn't hiding anymore? Where is he?"
"Just outside the mage tower, let him in?"
"...Let's hang on to it for now, old guy. Is this because you have Xiao Moyuan's endorsement? Are you too brave?"
There was more than one trouble. When the first novice village was built, the coalition forces of the human kingdom regained the lost territory and finally came into contact with the edge areas covered by the magic network.
Bei Gaoyang saw the video sent by Xiao Ai and felt that time was not waiting for me. It would be funny if the minions of the church invaded the game area in large numbers before the players in the fifth test had grown up.
The first Novice Village is located in the southwest of Chenxi Town. The terrain has been adjusted and adapted by the system, and is surrounded by refresh areas for level 1-5 monsters.
Skeleton soldiers are high quality and cheap. There are as many as you want in Nightmare Swamp, but no matter how many you have, they can't withstand the abuse of millions of players. This is the first time that monster magic has been used on such cheap and easy-to-source undead creatures. The area has been refreshed.
There are patterns scattered around, and using space distortion technology, Bei Gaoyang tried to see if he could solve it without inventing the [Layer Space] spell.
Level 1 skeleton soldiers, slimes, and demonized grass elves have no time to worry about the diversity of monsters. Just these three types of monsters are built in batches and organized into ten refresh areas. The theoretical upper limit of a novice village can accommodate them.
With 1,000 players, it is inevitable that you will not have enough points at the beginning. It will be much better if you increase the level.
There are also three types of level 2 zombies, demonized hamsters, and skeleton warriors.
The Level 3 Demonized Giant Mosquito was a Level 5 monster during the fourth test, but this time it was pushed down to Level 3. Together with the Demonized Goblin and the Skeleton General, we now have three brothers in trouble, and we leave it to Xiao Ai to design their experience.
The force value and tasks are also dropped.
Starting from level 4, there are fewer choices. The Demonized Dryads were originally only distributed near the jungle. Take them and use them, and the monster spells are arranged.
Kobolds have been killed by the players and become a rare species. Under the power of monster magic, together with the copies of the famous kobold mines, they are copied in batches, and each novice village has a few.
Coupled with the Demonized Goblin, the level 4 monster spawn area is fully alive.
Level 5 is an important watershed. Kobold Totem Warriors, Kobold Sacrifice, and Demonized Lizardmen are selected into the final camp.
There are hundreds of monsters distributed in the game area, but this time the test cannot be like before. The base of millions of players must form an institutionalized assembly line-like model to make the player's growth trajectory clear. A player must be clearly calculated
In addition to the time and resources needed to grow, gameplay and fun can be considered.
In addition to the selected monster refresh areas, Bei Gaoyang is not going to waste system resources on other monsters. Let them be born and raised. Even if they are killed by players, they will not be 'refreshed'. There is no abyss battlefield and human kingdom.
For the coalition forces, you can only get credit from horses. You can't feed the players too much, which will weaken their enterprising spirit.
The level 1-5 monster spawning areas and kobold dungeons have been constructed, and two days have passed. At this time, most of the 1,000 novice villages have been completed, scattered regularly around Buck and Punk City, all with the same system and style.
Exactly the same routine and process.
After level 5, change jobs and enter the kobold dungeon to obtain the certificate of bravery. Gold or silver medals all depend on their abilities. From this point on, activate the combat power and cloak system. Gold medals have cloaks, and silver medals are not without opportunities. After changing jobs, you will enter the abyss.
On the battlefield, obtain the corresponding merits, and use the merits to go to the merit store to exchange for cloaks and corresponding titles.
Levels 6-15 are the first-level professions. Level 16 can take the second-level profession test and obtain the second-level cloak and title. The dark night camp is the examination room. Players enter 6 system cities. Corresponding supporting facilities must be established around each system city.
.
Bei Gaoyang was so busy that he just selected the 6-15 monsters and refresh areas. Xiao Ai reported that a green dragon flew from the depths of the wasteland, entered the game area, and landed on a mountain range near the fairy forest.
Go up, don't leave.
"Green dragon?"
Giant dragons are giant pandas in the material world. Bei Gaoyang has never seen a few of them. Why did one suddenly appear?
"Have you not discovered abandoned nests of dragon creatures before?" Xiao Ai reminded.
"Is this this one?"
"Not sure."
"The image is brought up...forget it, don't scare him away, I'll go see it in person another day."
Speaking of the dragon, Bei Gaoyang thought of the mind flayer Ross who was kidnapped.
This guy was sent by himself to check out the abandoned camp that was suspected to be controlled by the mind flayers. He hasn't come back yet, and he doesn't know what happened to delay him.
"What is Josephine doing?"
"...Do you want to mate?"
"What... no, no!" Bei Gaoyang blushed for the first time, feeling the inconvenience of Xiao Ai's presence for the first time.
"She's entertaining the lich."
"That old guy hasn't left yet? Why is Josephine so arrogant? How did he get in?"
Xiao Ai: "..."
Bei Gaoyang smiled sarcastically, "I gave Josephine the authority on the first floor... Haha, I didn't think of it for a moment."
This embarrassing episode passed quickly. There was no time for romance now, and a lot of energy and time were spent on supporting facilities in the six main cities of the system.
It's like a jigsaw puzzle. At first, all the pieces are piled together. It feels too many and messy, and there is simply no clue.
As you slowly sort it out, there will be more and more clues and connections, and it will become more and more effortless and purposeful to put it together.
Under the guiding principle of using system resources as efficiently as possible, the process of players from logging in to level 16 was finally straightened out.
1-5 are in the Novice Village. Level 5 takes a job. Level 6 is the first-level profession and enters the system main city. The 6 system main cities can be upgraded to level 16. This is the turning point for the growth of the first-level profession. Afterwards, you can continue to take the second-level profession.
The examination room is in the dark night camp, and you can continue to upgrade, but you cannot enjoy the gameplay, benefits and treatment of level 2 professions.
Level 1 professions can enter the Abyss Battlefield, establish a family, create a gang, and apply for a family garrison. The family garrison is opened from the Alpha plane to the game map, but the game map is not enfeoffed and needs to be redeemed with the merits obtained in the Abyss Battlefield [Family]
Stone] This newly launched prop allows you to select a piece of land on the game map.
The family station is just the beginning, and the construction of the family is the top priority. These were considered and designed by Xiao Ai. Bei Gaoyang has already reviewed the first draft and feels that there are no problems. Even if there are problems, you can test and modify them again and again.
As for the tasks, the system is completely liberalized. There are so many intelligent NPCs with so many needs, and there is also a mercenary guild. Therefore, except for the main tasks that guide the direction of the game, Xiao Ailai personally designs all other tasks.
Task authority has been delegated.
System pseudo-gods such as Tias have their own small treasury (faith value balance) and should become the main force in the mission mode. Entrepreneurial partners such as Yaris, Vampire Edward, and the Fairy Forest Sisters also have high authority in the mission mode. However,
If it exceeds a certain system quota, Xiaoai will need to review it.
Aboriginal people in the main cities of the 6 systems can all issue tasks. There are real tasks and fake tasks. Players need to distinguish them by themselves. Even if they are deceived, there are laws promulgated by the city lord to control them.
Before he knew it, more than half a month had passed. Bei Gaoyang calculated the realistic time and found that a week had arrived, so he hurriedly carried out the final finishing work.
Looking at the entire game map at this time, it has changed beyond recognition. In particular, the 1,000 novice villages have greatly changed the original terrain and landforms. There are many places that have been forcibly bulldozed by the system. It used to look like a primitive wild world, but now
There are roads everywhere, houses everywhere, and infrastructure ready to accommodate players.
The first-level professional kobold mines, the second-level professional dark night camp, the third-level professional Baldwin family cemetery, and the fourth-level professional have no assessment points yet, so they will be reserved for later discovery of more suitable places.
The fifth-level magic net can theoretically accommodate level 5 professions, but Bei Gaoyang estimates that no player will be able to achieve this in this test. It is impossible to mass-produce level 5 professions, not to mention the possibility, the magic net cannot bear it, only
To be able to choose the best among the best, luck, strength, perseverance and talent are all indispensable.
"The rest is to optimize the design of professions and props, right?"
"Yes."
The hardest part was left for last. Bei Gaoyang rubbed his sore eyebrows, drank a bottle of energy potion, and said with a strong heart, "The first draft is here, bring it over!"
The first drafts that Xiao Ai brought filled the whole room.
"...Are you kidding me?"
"That's just part of it."
Even though the Archmage has an amazing brain capacity, he gave up after reading two such first drafts.
It's not complicated, it's not complicated, it's just boring.
Archmages are just like ordinary people when it comes to things that they are not interested in. They just look at them and feel sleepy, but they don't remember much of the content.
"That's it!" Bei Gaoyang stood up and yawned, "I can rest assured that you can do the work... Besides, there is no time."
