In the past, when accepting missions, the mission NPC would usually say: "Oh, young rebel, I'm glad that our common cause has such a diligent and enthusiastic person like you...", but now the mission NPC has a straight face.
It's like how much money the player owes him: "Well, it's you again, and you're still just a militiaman (here it changes slightly depending on your military rank and reputation)? I have to say that resources are wasted on someone like you who is not enterprising.
It’s so unreasonable for people…”
Yes, even mission-functional NPCs will look at what others are doing. Only those with high military ranks, high prestige, and a lot of meritorious deeds can get a smile on their face. Others just use their nostrils to argue with each other and do not serve the players at all.
of consciousness.
As a result, some people feel that the game is more "fun" than before, and no one dares to talk casually. They have to stick to the text and follow the context of NCP to facilitate their immersion.
Bullshit immersion.
Qiao Shan was very indifferent to this. The main purpose of playing games is to make money. I will do whatever is convenient for me to make money. Since everyone is emphasizing this context, then the context is good. It is nothing more than pretending.
, who doesn’t know how to do it?
The atmosphere of the game has indeed changed greatly in a short period of time. The system's "high-pressure" policy and the "worthlessness" of players and tourists have jointly promoted its changes. Players have begun to know "awe", and many of them did not take it seriously before.
Things are now taken seriously.
For example, in the past, no one cared about the high status of the NPC, the city lord, or the city guard. Isn't it just a tool and a code name?
It's different now. It's as if players have begun to emphasize things like military rank, title, reputation, merit, etc., and use these to determine different treatments. Official positions among NPCs, and those with high titles will also be subconsciously 'respected' by players, not to mention
The major temples already represent the divine power behind the temple.
The convergence of consciousness among all living beings in the Magic Network has been qualitatively improved, and the system aunt is extraordinary as soon as she takes action.
The temples looked at all these changes with joy and actively joined in to add fuel to the fire.
Treating one's own believers with one face, and treating others with another face. No one is the same. It's like treating some criminal who has violated the laws of nature. Don't expect to get any benefits from the temple. Sometimes, even the basic system
Functional support is no longer provided.
If you want to talk about the dissatisfaction of players, especially the veteran players with vested interests, the most concentrated ones are on these.
The NPCs in the temple are so arrogant that they treat the players as if they are not players, just like they treat the native NPCs, blatantly engaging in caste, class, and identity discrimination.
Later, they discovered that not only was the temple silently promoting identity and class distinctions, but the system was also deliberately guiding them.
It is to divide each player into levels and classes based on the military rank, merit and reputation mentioned above, welcome the high ones with a smile, open the door to convenience, discriminate and treat the low ones, set various thresholds, and continuously repair equipment.
Basic system functions must be divided into three, five, six and so on.
"You won't be able to get along without a military rank in the future."
The Saint of Huaguo Mountain also served as the commander of the city guard in the city, but this official position was granted by a gang. His own military rank was not enough for this position, so he was 'discriminated' by his NPC city guards from the system.
Every time I come back I have to complain.
"I am the leader of the group, and those program codes are actually...fuck!"
"Okay, okay, stop complaining, who told you to spend all your money elsewhere."
Hua Feihua and Wu Feiwu, who was counting the supplies, said, "Come over quickly to help, I'm waiting to communicate with the system."
"How many more are there this time?"
Since a war is about to begin, it is natural to reserve war supplies. Both the city and the gangs have received tasks from the system. It is similar to a showdown. How much supplies must be stored, with strict requirements on type and quantity.
In addition to the contributions of gang members, public funds must also be used to purchase some. So many caravans are coming these days just to complete this reserve of war materials.
Counting materials is naturally not a one-by-one inventory, but an expanded system list that directly operates the inventory of items in the warehouse.
There is a dense list, with the largest number being medicines and materials for preparing various recovery potions.
Then there is the 'active substance' that is related to the number of resurrections. This thing is the most troublesome. It can only be obtained from the first monster killed. It was not difficult to collect before, but now it is difficult.
You must open up wasteland or explore new maps.
Damn the system, there is no map that has not been explored by players, and all valuable places have been destroyed.
Isn’t that person’s game map fully lit now?
Especially after the 7th beta, human resources have become cheaper than cabbage. I heard that some people are already preparing to immigrate to some remote places to build cities. Even if there is no systematic enfeoffment, some tourists who really can't survive and are planning to open up wasteland and cultivate land,
I am also preparing to build my own settlement online, so as not to get confused with the suddenly "harsh and evil" system.
I can live my own life without begging you, right?
Since the system did not stop this, the NPCs also acquiesced in this situation, so a wave of immigrants emerged among tourists and some "disheartened" players.
Okay, I'm going too far.
Most of the active substances are brought by caravans, and they are also the second largest volume of goods traded, second only to food.
Food is the most abundant, all kinds of basic, simple food and ingredients. It is expected that in the world plot stage of total war, with the military rank of Yijiang Chunliu, a first-level regiment commander, he can command a regular army (player army) of no less than 2,000 people and the same level.
The number of militiamen (hired NPCs), the food and drink of thousands of people, and the daily fighting requirements are astronomical. Even if they sit in an increasingly prosperous city and have a large area of surrounding resource points, the gang will soon be exhausted.
The money I have saved over the past few months.
"This is all money, money!"
While taking inventory, the Saints of Huaguoshan muttered in pain, "The system won't provide subsidies, so we are responsible for our own profits and losses?"
"Looking at what you said, do you want to hand over what you captured on the battlefield?"
"Why?"
"Then why does the system give you subsidies?"
"Damn, where are you standing?"
"Stop talking nonsense and get to work quickly. We're waiting for the assignment."
"Where's the spring water?"
"What else can you do? Forming a legion is a lot of bullshit."
As a city lord, a baron, and a first-level corps commander, Yijiang Chunliu is naturally very busy and has no free time.
He has not been offline for two days. The formation of the first-level corps is extremely complex, and just coordinating with Ji Nan City takes up most of his time.
Having just sent away a liaison officer who had come several times, Shao Bing was troubled with a catalog of the formation of the knights.
When she was having a headache, the elf female gamer whose ID was "Rogue Rabbit", the gang's favorite, the image ambassador of the gang, and the beautiful anchor of the offline self-media short video platform burst into laughter. The person next to her asked her why she was laughing, and she said just now.
Reminds me of an offline joke, saying, when the imperial army didn't come, you asked me to sweep the streets, but when the imperial army came, you still asked me to sweep the streets, then didn't the imperial army come in vain?
This is compiled by tourists, and the mapping is also online.
Shao Bing didn't know what was so funny, but beauties always have privileges. Even if the joke wasn't funny, everyone still laughed at the occasion.
The topic that started from this was naturally the miserable experiences of tourists online.
"Sweeping the streets is pretty good, and there are still people who work as slaves. I don't know what they are trying to do. If it were me, I wouldn't play this crappy game anymore, right?"
"You said it was easy, but that's not what you meant when it was your turn."
"I would rather die than surrender!"
"Everyone is a martyr before going to the execution ground."
"Don't believe it, I don't know what they are trying to do with this kind of treatment from tourists."
"What's the picture? If there are too many pictures, you can say that doubling the time difference is equivalent to extending your life. Isn't that wrong?"
"Well……"
"No matter how miserable you are online, even if you starve to death, this time, experience and income are still for nothing, right?"
"You can't say that. This is just suffering."
"You are looking at it from your perspective. People may not think it is a hardship. People may think it is an acting, fun, and novel."
"Put it down, I don't believe there is anything fun or new about being a maid."
"As I said before, this is equivalent to extra time and experience. Besides, the income online is actually not bad. Even if you are a beggar, it is not difficult to earn a few copper coins. It is worth several days of offline wages.
, and there are many opportunities online.”
"Opportunity? Now there is nothing but more meat and less wolves..."
"That's how you compare with the past. If you compare with offline, it will be completely different."
"Offline requires you to have an academic degree, right? How do you get academic qualifications? After more than ten years of hard study, isn't it much more difficult than online?"
"There are also skills to make a living. These are not available. You have connections, can mix, and have a chance of getting ahead, but it is definitely smaller than online."
"There are no opportunities for ordinary people offline. Working a nine-to-five job is really not as good as being a beggar online. At least there is less pressure and shame..."
"By the way, shame, haven't you noticed that everyone's face has become thicker online? The lower limit has become lower and the upper limit has become higher. It's that simple!"
Shao Bing burst into laughter listening to their discussion. He saw more about his position and had a longer perspective.
The system is indeed fundamentally different from before, and this is reflected in all aspects of the game, affecting not just tourists, but the entire game ecosystem.
On the surface, the involution is extremely serious due to the population base, but looking at the essence through the phenomenon, it is that the reality of Second Life is extremely growing and full.
Take the spontaneous wave of immigration. Isn't it just like a true interpretation of Second Life that is accelerating the evolution of being separated from the system and the game ecology and "responsible for its own profits and losses"?
Human society has a division of labor, and this division of labor is accelerating. We cannot expect the system to do everything.
It was easy to say when there were few people in the past. It was impossible for hundreds of millions of people to let the system take care of it. If all players wanted to do this, no matter how much resources they had, they would be eaten up into a barren land.
Some people are responsible for creating value, and some are responsible for consuming value. These people are the lucky ones who are in the consuming value group.
This total war scenario is a good opportunity to shuffle the cards.
On the surface, there is chaos online and offline, and the sudden change in the system has left many people at a loss, including the previous national server.
But things will be different in the future. Nothing can give birth to a new order more than war.
The essence of war is destruction. It is much simpler and more thorough to rebuild a new order on the ruins than to transform the stubborn and conservative old order.
These are all things seen from his perspective. I believe that those who stand higher than him and see more comprehensively will not be confused by the superficial noise and make the most advantageous choice...
?
After laughing, he turned his attention to the list of difficult knights.
Offline, as one of those people who in Shao Bing's eyes "stands higher and sees farther," Yu Qingdong has just received a gold-plated letter of appointment.
Passed?
It doesn't seem like there is.
There was no such letter of appointment before. As the CEO, he said he was responsible to the board of directors. He knows better than anyone how the facts came about.
How can I formalize it online and learn it offline?
"Mr. Yu, we just got the so-called withdrawal plan. Take a look."
"Has anyone seen it?"
"Just got it, a minute ago."
"Keep it secret for now. I'll talk about it after I've seen it."
Yu Qingdong opened the thick printed document and read ten lines at a glance.
After half an hour, he took out his glasses and looked at them carefully from the beginning.
This looks like an afternoon.
After making sure that he had fully understood the meaning of this document, he took off his glasses and his expression became complicated.
The core meaning of this document is that all operating agents, regardless of their authority, will withdraw from the daily operation of the game, move from the front desk to the backstage, and will not be able to directly interfere with specific game processes and game behaviors.
As compensation, they retain their right to know and supervise the game's background data, and even the most advanced S-level permissions will be divided into several parts. Each operating agent will be based on the resources they occupy in the game and the differences between players and tourists.
to perform segmentation.
All profits from Canaan Games are divided according to this "share ratio", of which the system occupies 50%, and the remaining 50% is shared by the operating agents, with no online interference.
The major temples represent the system. In the future, there will be a meeting composed of system temples and operating agents to decide on online strategic decisions and development directions.
This conference is very interesting. It can be held online or offline. The subtext is that online temples can also participate in this conference offline.
This is tantamount to acknowledging that Canaan is not just a game, but a management and organizational entity, which almost breaks the window paper.
"It's interesting, it's getting more and more interesting."
Yu Qingdong looked at this plan and felt puzzled for a long time.
Intellectually speaking, this plan is not that difficult to accept. From the front-end operator and one of the princes to the shareholder behind the scenes, the shareholders' meeting composed of shareholders authorizes and reviews online strategic decisions, which are executed by the system, thereby completely exiting
Direct online operations are out of contact with players and game content...
These are the core meanings.
"Mr. Yu, there's a call from above to urge you."
"Tell them I'll be there right away."
There was no time to think too much. He was lucky enough to pass the test and he really didn't have much say in such a big matter. What to do depends entirely on the decision made by the superiors.
