Chapter 28 Mission Progress
"Second, the emergence of the PK arena."
After Xu Ercong finished talking about the newly emerged professions, he continued to analyze other contents of this game update.
"From this point, we can clearly see the intention of the authorities. As always, the authorities strictly prohibit players from fighting among themselves and destroying the game environment."
“This update also protects the gaming experience of novice players and prevents high-level players from harming low-level players.”
"But the authorities know that, from ancient times to the present, all online games involving PK have a fatal flaw, which is that no matter what means and measures are used, it is impossible to completely prohibit PK between players."
"Many well-known commentators in the industry have said that online games are an exaggerated version of human society, where wars, infighting, and desires are infinitely magnified by the Internet."
"How can we completely ban human war in the virtual world if we can't completely ban it in the real world?"
Xu Ercong spoke passionately, praising the official approach without any bottom line: "The official of [Death Scourge] knows this very well, so they set up the PK Arena, which gives many players who want to PK a space to release their fighting desires."
"At the same time, players can also resolve personal grudges through PK, and learn about the characteristics of each profession in detail, so that players who have not changed their professions can have a more intuitive experience by watching the PK live broadcast, and can better choose the profession they want to change to."
"In my opinion, this second update measure is the focus of this update of Death God Scourge! It represents the determination of the official and the position of the game itself!"
Xu Ercong's words caused those who were watching the game update commentary to post comments such as "eating rotten food" and "Xu Ercong is shameless".
"Ercong, you have changed. You were not like this before."
"Even Brother Cong has started to eat rotten rice, so shamelessly flattering the planner."
"I finally know where Cong Ge's legion appointment letter came from, hehe."
"How shameless! It's just a PK competition, something that many games have. Why are you bragging about it, Brother Cong?"
Perhaps Xu Ercong also knew that he had exaggerated a bit, so he could not help but touch his nose and change the subject.
He doesn't want to brag like that.
But for some reason, ever since the baptism, his favorability and dependence on [Death Scourge] have increased infinitely, and he always feels that he can find countless benefits and advantages about [Death Scourge].
He thinks anything related to [Death Scourge] is the best.
This is the baptism of the soul, the most intuitive feeling and expression of increased faith. The most uncontrollable thing is that even the person receiving the baptism cannot perceive this feeling.
Xu Ercong just thought that this game really had great potential and he was obsessed with it, and he didn't have any other feelings or alertness.
"Okay, okay, let's talk about the third update."
"Third, we've added [Level Ranking], [Equipment Ranking], and [Lifespan Ranking]. Everyone knows about rankings, so there's no need to introduce them in detail."
"I believe everyone wants to know more about the effect of the title [Death's Favor] that can be obtained after being on the list."
Xu Ercong got smart this time and started talking directly about what the players were most concerned about.
"According to the information we know so far, although the top 100 players will be counted in the three major rankings, only the top 10 players can receive the title."
"I will now announce the effect of the title to everyone."
With a wave of Xu Ercong's hand, the screen in the live broadcast room behind him was replaced with a large ptt, showing the detailed data and effects of the title.
[Favor of Death]: A special title that can be worn. After the title is worn, any NPC, creature, or other player in the wild can see the title halo under the feet of the player wearing the title. [Title Effect]: It can consume a certain amount of lifespan to enhance one's own attack and defense, with a maximum enhancement amount of 10%.
Once the approximate data and effects of the title were listed, a group of players and netizens exclaimed in amazement.
"Another krypton gold trick!"
"Isn't this bastard's surname Ma?"
"It's really a rip-off that I have to consume life points to use the effect of the title."
"It's a pay-to-win game, confirmed."
Although there were some complaints in the players' comments, they were just jokes at most.
Krypton Gold?
What a joke! [Death Scourge ] has not yet announced the recharge channel. Those who want to spend money have nowhere to go. The most they can do is use the game currency transactions allowed by the official.
"Everyone was joking."
Xu Ercong said quickly: "As we all know, [Death Scourge] is to ensure the fairness of the game to a great extent. Although the consumption of this title looks like a krypton gold method, are life points money? It's just the game currency!"
"The official intention is actually very clear. The most scarce resource in the game is undoubtedly life points. The acquisition of life points is relatively fair. Everyone has only one way to obtain life points, and that is to kill monsters!"
"On this basis, of course there will be many wealthy players who use money and the trading market to accumulate a large number of life points."
"If the wealthy players are not controlled, it will have some impact on the fairness of the game and the currency economy; so the titles launched by the official are more of a means of recycling life points to maintain the interests of ordinary players."
"After all, the ratio of game currency is so high now, and ordinary players are the ones who benefit the most. If there is no way to recycle game currency, the transaction ratio will definitely drop significantly, and then everyone will have no way to make money to support their families."
Xu Ercong paused and continued, "From this point of view, there is no reason for everyone to say bad things about the official. After all, this move by the official is for the benefit of the vast majority of ordinary players."
"Moreover, according to my analysis, since the title system has already appeared, the official will definitely launch more titles in subsequent updates. The title system will gradually become a system owned by everyone, and it is definitely not something that only a small number of wealthy players can have."
"The big guys on the leaderboard are at most the first to experience the quality of this thing before us. It's only a matter of time before everyone has the title."
After hearing Xu Ercong’s explanation, the comments that were originally cursing the authorities changed their stance.
"Brother Cong's analysis does make some sense."
"If you don't mention anything else, you are just going against me if you criticize the official account! I was fired from my job in real life not long ago, and I have a whole family to support. Since I came into contact with this game, I have the capital to support my family!"
"Yes, yes. I'm online ten hours a day. As long as I work hard and earn gold, I can sell life points once every three days. On average, I can make at least 200 yuan a day by selling life points."
"If the level is higher, the life points sold will definitely be more!"
“Although I don’t know how long this horrific trading ratio will last, I, like the officials, hope that the high ratio will last as long as possible!”
As long as it involves their own interests, everyone will take a stand.
At least in this regard, Death Note has an absolute advantage. No one will criticize a game that can make them money.
What's more, the game itself is very fun and very realistic.
…
“The fourth update doesn’t need any further introduction. It just adds a bunch of NPCs and enriches the basic content of the game.”
Xu Ercong continued, "But it is worth mentioning that every NPC in [Death Scourge] is very intelligent, and not all of them are undead, there are also human NPCs. Moreover, these NPCs have a unique computing system and can think in the same way as real people. It is quite interesting to communicate with NPCs."
"But I want to remind the new players."
Xu Ercong said seriously: "Don't tease female NPCs! And don't try to harass NPCs to accept quests or anything like that!"
"Brother Cong, this makes sense."
"Stop talking. It's just tears."
"I just played the game yesterday, and I didn't know that I couldn't tease NPCs. I accidentally did that, and then I was killed by the female NPC who was guarding the lottery wheel."
"Fuck! Bro, what did you do to her?"
"She kept tempting me to participate in the lottery, but I really didn't have the money to participate, so I got into a fight with her, and she killed me."
The barrage was filled with a cheerful atmosphere for a while, and everyone was discussing their experiences of being punished for teasing NPCs.
Some people were beaten up by NPCs, some were locked in a small dark room for half a day, and the worst thing was that they were killed on the spot by NPCs and had to wait for an hour for the resurrection cooldown.
Moreover, each NPC has his or her own unique personality and is not a templated NPC that only knows how to lick the players' boots.
They are not like normal NPCs in other games at all. They will not get angry no matter what the players do. The NPCs in [Death Scourge] are more like living intelligent creatures.
They can think, get angry, feel happy, and even give small gifts to players they like, open a backdoor, etc. These NPCs make players feel more interesting.
"The fifth."
Xu Ercong paused, and after attracting the attention of most players and netizens, he spoke slowly.
"Actually, I don't know the details of the fifth update."
Xu Ercong smiled helplessly and said, "The fifth update is related to the [Mysterious Mentor]. Currently, I know nothing about the mysterious mentor. I don't know how to find him, let alone what detailed benefits I will get if I find him."
"I guess this should be a random welfare event. Finding the mysterious mentor is just a matter of luck."
Xu Ercong's words made the fans and players very disappointed.
"Brother Cong, it's the same as if you didn't say it."
"Even Cong-ge doesn't know where the mysterious mentor is, so there's no chance we can find him."
"It's boring, let's go, let's all go."
Xu Ercong was helpless, but Xu Xiaofan did not tell him any information about the mysterious mentor. How to find the mysterious mentor was probably only Xu Xiaofan himself.
Just after the live broadcast of the update commentary ended, Xu Ercong received a message from I Love Berserker.
"Huh?"
Xu Ercong was a little curious and opened the private message sent by the I Love Berserker project team.
Since taking I Love Berserker under his command, Xu Ercong has prepared a special project team for him to complete the tasks in his hands. However, Xu Ercong has been busy with the affairs of the Undead Legion these days and has not been able to take care of the expansion pack tasks in I Love Berserker's hands.
Now the project team has sent a message, which should be new progress in this task.
Xu Ercong looked down at the content of the private message, his expression couldn't help but change, and he hurried to the live broadcast room where I Love Berserker was .
