Chapter 389: Survival in Another World
"Let a hundred aliens enter a temporary space through the mental matrix in the form of soul projection, and let them fight in this space until the last one survives... The winner only needs to say 'Good luck, let's eat chicken tonight' and add a record of the number of times you have eaten chicken to be satisfied; without paying any actual rewards, you can attract aliens to flock in and fight to be my temporary anchor?!"
Kingsley understood Yang's intention with difficulty, and his mouth twitched: "What do these aliens want?"
The projection clone controlled by Yang Qiu smiled calmly: "Didn't you see that I only provided a skeleton body, and countless people from other worlds enthusiastically helped me work and fight for me?"
Kingsley: “…”
Although Yang Qiu was still reserved towards Lowell, there was no need to hide anything from his teacher Yang Qiu...After Kingsley helped Yang Qiu earn billions of aid supplies, Yang Qiu laid his cards on the table with him.
Kingsley still found it very difficult to understand why he could earn a huge amount of supplies just by throwing garbage into the Collapsed Demon Realm and get people from other worlds to help him build the wizard tower for free, but since he enjoyed the convenience of this "unequal transaction", he was too lazy to care too much.
"In short, for the aliens, as long as they can enjoy the entertainment without endangering their lives, they will be willing to do what we hope for." Yang Qiu said, "Of course, this kind of game stimulation must be interesting enough to attract their attention, otherwise they will ruthlessly and decisively 'quit the game'."
As he spoke, Yang Qiu controlled the projection clone to go upstairs and take down the tablet that he had placed in the study, and played the PUBG video that he had cached for Kingsley...
These popular videos, which have received an average of over a million hits on Chinese video websites, have left Kingsley with a lot of questions:
"Where's the fun in fighting in a fixed area repeatedly using similar tactics?"
"These mechanical weapons seem to be similar to the equipment of the Kenyan Empire's army? There is also a Kenyan Empire in another world?"
"Are these stiff figures created by illusion? They are so crudely made that even a three-year-old child can tell at a glance that they are fake."
"Can this kind of thing really attract people from other worlds?"
Yang Qiu looked at the ignorant Kingsley calmly and said, "For a game like this where the illusion projection (characters) are particularly fake, there can be tens of millions of people online at the same time in the other world."
Kingsley's jaw almost dropped to the ground...
On the continent of Nabarron, there are only a few righteous gods who have tens of millions of believers!
Kingsley was also very smart, and he quickly realized that Yang Qiu's proposal was unreasonable: "Wait, in this kind of high-intensity battle, the frequency of alien soul projections dying and escaping the matrix will be very high. There will be only a few left in the second half. Doesn't that mean I won't have enough anchor points most of the time?"
Yang Qiu liked the flexible minds of high-level spellcasters and said approvingly, "That's right. So if you can handle it, you can try to open multiple battle spaces at the same time. When the number of anchor points in a game decreases, add a second game. This way, a new group of aliens can log into your matrix."
Kingsley clapped his hands and immediately excitedly discussed the details of his matrix with Yang Qiu...
First, we need to solve the problem of data recording.
Players play games for data. If a game cannot record the number of victories, kills, kill replays, and cannot publicly display the server-wide rankings, then it is meaningless to the players.
This kind of work that requires a server on Earth can only rely on the matrix core built by the caster himself... Although it does not have the powerful computing power of a computer, it is not difficult to simply record text, numbers, and even image information.
Secondly, there is the issue of game space.
The limited-time real-time battle game does not need to pull players into this world, nor does it need to prepare skeleton bodies for the players. In addition, Kingsley only needs to maintain the existence of two "game maps" at most and handle the login of two hundred Earth players at most at the same time. He can completely create the game scenes with illusions with his bare hands!
Kingsley is not a professional illusionist, but he has no problem creating illusion projections - even a black magician like Yang Qiu, who is more inclined to actual combat, can create projections, so Kingsley, who has more free time and more skill points than Yang Qiu, must have no problem doing so.
The master and apprentice discussed the details for a while, and Kingsley took out two magic crystals that could record spells and made a "chicken map" on the spot...
After the aliens log into the branding matrix, they have no body to "possess" and can only use their own "holographic image" and can only move within the "chicken-eating map". The "map" stored in the magic crystal that can even record medium-sized magic is definitely enough.
Of course, considering that it is impossible for players to fight with naked phantoms in the "map" stored in the magic crystal, Kingsley's matrix core must provide the function of allowing players to choose their own clothing appearance - as for face-pinching, don't even think about it, Kingsley's matrix core is not yet that amazing.
All battles took place , so there was no way to open the screenshot and video recording functions to the players (after all, the players did not even have a real entity). The master and apprentice thought about it for a while and decided to use the magic crystal to record the final circle scenes of each battle, and publish it on the official website on Earth the next day - players who failed to make it to the final circle would not have the opportunity to see their own battle scenes, and they could not blame anyone.
Finally, we need to solve the problem of argumentative people.
In order to avoid the situation where even watching Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf can lead to violence and stupid things like hitting someone on the back of the head with a frying pan, it is necessary to add a design that will dilute the sensory memory of players participating in the real-life chicken-eating mode after they exit the game, and weaken the experience of participating in battles in the map with their real body projections on a spiritual level.
After finalizing the framework, the master and apprentice pondered over the details, such as how to deploy weapons and equipment in the fantasy map, whether to add teammate resurrection props to lure "killed" players to continue to stay in the matrix as anchor points, whether the chicken-eating exclusive spiritual imprint (login helmet) should be made fully open to allow multiple people to use it... and so on.
It is mid-January in the other world time, and July 6th on Earth time, the day when students are having holidays.
On this day, the official website of "Alien World", which had not been updated for a long time, posted an announcement for the internal testing of the new sub-game and real-time battle game "Alien World Survival".
Countless cloud players cursed "They're developing a new game without even doing a public beta", while honestly submitting applications for login helmets... There's nothing you can do, this is the only holographic real-life game in the world, and if you want to play it, you have to hold your nose and watch these bastards planning and making things up.
The sub-game "Battlegrounds" has launched the promotional slogan of "Worldwide Unique, Real-life Combat", and has opened 3,000 places for internal testing. It is still free of charge and does not open a mall. Players who pass the application only need to pay 188 for the login helmet material fee.
Compared with the helmet binding of the main game "Alien", the login helmet of the sub-game "Alien Survival" has updated the identity authentication mechanism. There is no binding and anyone can use it.
Such a conscientious operation still attracted a lot of criticism. I don’t know how many cloud players criticized the production team for not knowing how to do business. Why not sell it for 1,800 or 18,000 yuan to eliminate the primary school students who compete with them with pocket money...
Yang Qiu, who came back to Earth to enjoy the air conditioning and eat ice cream, ignored the raging public opinion and looked at the backstage calmly. When he saw that the number of applicants exceeded one million, he quickly closed the application page, found the random selection applet that he had asked college students to write from the folder, and drew three thousand lucky winners on the spot.
Players of "Survivor" who enter Kingsley's matrix can only move around in the fantasy map stored in the magic crystal. They have no chance to harm the natives of the alien world, so there is no need to trouble the national team for help in review. Yang Qiu feels bad for often causing trouble for them.
A few days later, after all 3,000 helmets had been shipped out and lucky players had posted helmet unboxing videos on the forum, Yang Qiu notified Kingsley to be prepared and released the official "launch" date of "Otherworld" on the official website.
January 26, 1033 in the alien world, July 15 on Earth, is an important day.
The players of "Difference Between Worlds" have been waiting for the internal beta test to start, and the players of "Difference Between Worlds" have also been waiting for the battlefield event after more than a month.
After ten days of careful preparation, Kingsley set up a magic circle in the City Lord's Mansion of Dutata City, ready to wait for the players from other worlds to "log in" to his spiritual matrix.
Several magic crystals as auxiliary props were placed at his sides, and two extremely important magic crystals that served as "battlefield maps" were placed in front of him. He also prepared several magic crystals that could instantly replenish magic power and several bottles of magic potions that could instantly replenish mental power and placed them on the coffee table next to him, which he could grab and use when needed.
Yang Qiu, who had specially directed his thoughts to the projection clone, saw that he was too nervous and comforted him: "Don't worry too much. Even if there is any mistake, the players will automatically understand that there is a 'bug' in the game. At most, they will curse a few times, and there will be no consequences."
Kingsley, who was sitting upright, nodded, took a deep breath, and took another deep breath...
Yang Qiu: “…”
Yang Qiu began to reflect silently. He had been worried that Kingsley would be negatively affected by too much contact with players, so he did not let this high-level spellcaster experience the life of an "NPC". Was this protective mentality having the opposite effect?
"Well... after tricking Enwei over here, let him serve as an NPC in the Undead camp, so that he won't be unnecessarily nervous like Kingsley when he is needed." Yang Qiu touched his chin and pondered.
Of course, the purpose of creating this sub-game was not to sell more helmets, but Yang Qiu really had a demand for the fantasy battlefield.
Connect the unbound spiritual imprint and use the soul projection to fight in the "chicken map". If you die, it will only consume some spiritual power, and it will not damage the foundation. It is perfect for training soldiers...
Having an army of undead available does not mean that humans blessed by the undead do not need combat power. Innadri and Adler are both recruiting and training militia, and these militia will come in handy sooner or later.
Bullshit... ahem, in a mutually beneficial way, invite high-level spellcasters to build a limited-time mental matrix to maintain the operation of the game; when it is necessary to train soldiers, throw the militia into the fantasy map by team to act as elite monsters that interfere with the players. This can both train soldiers and improve entertainment, isn't it perfect!
In survival mode, it is normal to have bosses and elite monsters chasing and hacking players, or to be chased and hacked by players, or to be ambushed by players, or to be beaten up by players!
Being chased, blocked, and shot in the head by a group of players armed with mechanical creations similar to those equipped by the Kenyan Empire soldiers, this experience is not much different from throwing the militia into the Kenyan battlefield for actual combat training!
The plan worked!
Of course... before letting the militia participate in the training, these players must first adapt to the holographic real-life battlefield and learn how to be Voldemort and the old Yin Coin in the real-life melee chicken-eating map.
The time came to 8 pm on Earth, 1 pm in the other world. Kingsley, who was in charge of the matrix, had a stern expression and his whole body was tense. Among the two large magic crystals placed in front of him, one of them emitted a faint blue light.
“Here I come.”
Yang Qiu's mind moved, and he diverted a little of his attention to the changing magic crystal.
Inside the crystal, in a fantasy map of about thirty square kilometers consisting of forests, lakes, grasslands, deserts, stone forests and other landforms, twenty random or grouped player teams were randomly placed in various places...
