Chapter 58 The God-making Plan Auditions Begin!
[Although I have said it many times, I still have to say it again, just in case some readers who skipped the chapter missed it... The core and important content of the dungeon will not be changed, but since real people will enter the dungeon, the details will be changed accordingly! I will not go into details here.]
The Detroit copy card is certainly not rubbish.
Xu Mu still remembers this game vividly.
There are numerous branch options, and each choice will have an impact on the subsequent ending.
What shocked Xu Mu the most back then was.
In this game, once you don't make a good choice.
Even if you are the protagonist in the game, you will actually die!
And it’s not about waiting until the final ending to die, but dying at the very beginning!
If you make the wrong choice at the start, you will die!
The punishment after death is also quite severe.
If a character is one of the three main characters, all plot lines related to him will disappear!
It will even affect the story lines of the other two protagonists and have a butterfly effect on the final good ending!
If it were just a game, players would have countless opportunities to read save points and could start over even if they made the wrong choice.
But in the "Detroit" copy where the ending is locked and cannot be changed, each player has only one chance to explore!
One wrong step and all is lost!
And there is no way to start over again!
If you just get a failed ending, or let the protagonist die suddenly at the beginning, not only will you not get any rewards, you will even be subject to the S-copy penalty mechanism and the corresponding number of steps will be deducted.
This is also the reason why "Detroit" is an S-level copy card but no one is interested in it.
The probability of failure is far greater than that of success. Who dares to bet on the steps they have climbed so hard?
However, these complicated side quests that are quite difficult for players on Sky Blue Star are not a problem for Xu Mu.
He knows what the true ending of "Detroit" should be.
And with the help of brainstorming, he can easily recall countless details from his previous playtimes.
Xu Mu once saw a statement about memory.
The human brain can store everything it sees from the first moment it is born. There is no such thing as forgetting. It is just that in order to function better, the brain selectively hides some unimportant memories.
The reason why babies’ memories cannot be recalled when they grow up is because there is no memory awakening point.
Many times, memories that people would not normally recall will suddenly come to mind with some relevant prompts.
Sometimes when I meet a stranger who looks familiar, I can’t remember where I have seen him before.
But the other party only needs to give a memory awakening point such as 'last year, summer, a seaside amusement park' or 'a barbecue restaurant on XX Road'.
You can quickly dig out the memories hidden in your mind.
For infants, their language and social systems are not perfect.
Even words like 'last year' and 'summer' were incomprehensible at the time.
Therefore, even if parents repeatedly ask their children "which bed did you sleep in when you were a child" or "which aunt held you in her arms", it cannot become the point of awakening the memory. Instead, this part of the memory will be permanently sealed by the brain.
The same applies to the games Xu Mu had played before.
He has the memory of most of the game, but some insignificant details are sealed in his mind because there is no memory awakening point.
After brainstorming, everything is different.
Xu Mu can rewind the memories stored in his mind like a movie, select a rough node, and then slow down the playback frame by frame to recall them.
Get all the details about the games you've already played!
"At that time, I had an obsessive-compulsive disorder of collecting all the achievements in almost every game. Now it seems that it has helped me a lot." Xu Mu thought to himself and cut off the communication screen with the other party.
Spend 100 million to buy a copy of "Detroit".
For me, it's only profit and no loss.
Moreover, a price of 100 million is already a bargain for an S-level copy card, and no one can refuse to get a bargain.
After thinking about it, Xu Mu gave up the idea of borrowing money from Poseidon Tianqi and others.
Requesting an A+ grade copy card and temporary residence rights at the Sea Island Villa was already enough to trouble others.
Xu Mu hasn't figured out how to repay the favor yet, and now he feels a little embarrassed to ask others for money.
After thinking about it, Xu Mu's eyes fell on the address book.
His only dungeon friend.
[Player: Mu Linlinlinlin]
[Currently challenging the A-rank single-player copy of "Beautiful Girls Kageek: Crime and Punishment"...]
"Are you free?" Xu Mu picked out the words.
"Ah! Boss A, yes, yes." Mu Lin replied quickly, and then said, "I haven't seen you for a few days, and I was wondering whether I should contact you... By the way, Boss A, what can I do for you? Do you want to inquire about the news of the City of the Sea? Or do you want me to be your tour guide, hehe."
"Borrow some money." Xu Mu went straight to the point.
Mu Lin: “…”
A boss is a boss...
Very direct speaking...
Mu Lin is actually quite stingy... ah, she is quite stingy.
Whether it is misering others or misering yourself, you are the type who only takes in but never gives out.
After all, as a girl, struggling in a big city with no one to rely on, if anything really happens, she can only handle it by herself.
So I have developed a habit of being frugal.
If anyone else comes to borrow money, it won’t work!
But if the other party is Xu Mu...
Boss, I have to flatter you!
After all, Mu Lin had witnessed Xu Mu's terrifying copy and understood it.
There is such a thick
It would be a shame not to hug your legs!
"How much does the boss need?"
"About 20 million, or 200,000 Red Moon Coins. I'll return it to you in a while." Xu Mu was careful with his words.
After completing Detroit, the rewards will be very generous. Whether it is the output of props or the Red Moon Coins rewarded from the dungeon, it will be enough to pay off the debt.
What slightly surprised Xu Mu was that Mu Lin's hand speed was really fast.
I helped him type it out in a short while.
[You received a transfer from your friend 'Mulinlinlinlin', transfer amount: 200,000.00 Red Moon Coins]
【Now saved in your emblem space. 】
"Thank you very much."
"No, no, no, you're too polite! The advertising you helped my guild with a few days ago was very effective, and I was thinking of finding time to thank you in person! I'll treat that money as a gift I bought for you as a thank you, and you really don't have to pay it back!" Mu Lin sent a voice message and chuckled.
Although he didn't have to pay it back, Xu Mu didn't like owing favors to others.
After thinking about it.
He glanced over and saw the copy that Mu Lin was clearing.
The strategy guide for an A-level copy is worth tens of millions.
Moreover, the level of the copy of Kaleidoscope of Beautiful Girls is already too low for me, and I will most likely not play this kind of copy.
Just give it to her as a favor.
As for the extra words, I can just take it as a thank you for taking good care of me when I first came to Sea City.
"If you haven't reached the third option, when you do it with Yuri later, remember to choose to have sex with her outside the body, not inside her, or you'll end up with a bad ending. Also, don't do it with any other female characters besides Yuri, and you'll be almost certain to pass the game with a high rating."
Mu Lin: ?????
This, this, this...
Mu Lin's face turned red with embarrassment.
Although the copy I am currently challenging is indeed a small and colorful one.
But why do you know it so clearly? !
And...how can you, sir, say such obscene words so calmly...please cover it up...
But think about it.
The big boss.
What kind of storms and waves haven’t you seen?
Perhaps he has already seen through these matters between men and women, so his words are so sharp?
"Well...thank you very much, big boss..." Mu Lin awkwardly sent a voice message, and then asked humbly: "Can I do it on her belly? Or on her face..."
"All is fine." Xu Mu replied briefly, chatted with Mu Lin casually for a few more words, and then closed the communication screen.
After raising funds, Xu Mu opened his friend panel.
A friend request pops up.
【'Yipingtianxia' requests to add you as a friend! 】
pass.
After chatting briefly with the other party and confirming his identity.
Xu Mu initiated the transaction.
Throw one million converted into Red Moon Coins into the transaction column.
The other party quickly put up a copy card of "Detroit: Become Human".
After a crisp prompt sound, the transaction was successful!
"Then I wish the rich boss good luck in clearing the level!" Chen Yiping sent a message.
"Well, I wish you all the best in the future." Xu Mu responded politely and closed the chat box.
As his eyes turned, he could see the details of the "Detroit" copy card.
Detroit: Become Human
Type: Exploration dungeon/single player exploration
Quality: S-grade
Risk of death: Low
Failure penalty: High
Player hostility: None
Instance description: In a near future world, robots made in imitation of humans have begun to be mass-produced and put into use. They look exactly like humans and are called bionic people. Bionic people have more efficient work efficiency, more accurate . This seems to be able to liberate humans from thousands of years of hard work and devote themselves to the research field of civilization development. The human world will usher in the most prosperous era! But is this really the case?
Reminder: You will play three main bionic characters in this instance, and the fate of humans and robots will be in your hands. You need to choose the right path forward from countless instance branches. Every choice you make will affect the outcome of the instance!
Reminder: The dungeon will save your exploration progress in real time. You can exit the dungeon and return to the dimensional world after completing a small section of the dungeon plot! When you enter the dungeon again, your save point will be automatically read.
Reminder: This instance is a closed-loop instance and can only be cleared once. Failure to clear the instance is also considered as completion. Your instance result cannot be changed using any props! Please choose carefully!
…
After taking a quick glance at the copy details, Xu Mu understood clearly.
No wonder no one grabbed it.
The 'countless copy branches' alone make the difficulty written right on the face.
In single-player dungeons, each player will form his own small dungeon world, and they cannot meet each other, so there is no possibility of any cooperation.
This will undoubtedly raise the difficulty to a higher level.
I searched on the Red Moon Forum.
Xu Mu discovered that even in the paid strategy section, he did not find any strategy information about "Detroit".
It seems that even mid- and high-level players regard dungeons like "Detroit" as hot potatoes and are unwilling to take the risk of sacrificing their own steps.
Even if the low-level players get the "Detroit" copy card, the first thing they think of is to sell it for as much as they can get, rather than challenging themselves.
Although there is no guide, there are a few scattered posts that discuss this dungeon intermittently.
"No one will really choose the Detroit dungeon... I don't even know what the point of this dungeon is."
"It's not a question of whether it's difficult or not, but it's almost impossible to start. For other dungeons, you can constantly learn from your failures. Even if you can't find clues to some of the more hidden conditions, at least you can get a clearance rating. For this dungeon... I can only say one word, send it."
"It's tasteless to eat, but a pity to throw it away. I don't dare to challenge it anyway..."
"I'm actually curious whether there will be some amazing masters in the future who can complete the game in one go. Even if I don't want to get a high rating, I'll be impressed if I can just complete the game to the minimum level."
"Stop it. A powerful boss won't waste time on a dungeon like this. Wouldn't it be better to play other S-level dungeons?"
The few scattered posts were all pessimistic and contained no valuable information.
Xu Mu originally wanted to see in advance what items this copy might produce.
Now the news is also blocked.
After thinking for a while, Xu Mu was not in a hurry to enter the copy.
Anyway, the card is in my hand, so there is no rush to play it anytime.
There is only one chance to challenge, and we must make good use of it.
Xu Mu planned to calm down and spend a day or two brainstorming to sort out his memories.
After all, "Detroit" is different from other copies, with too many side details.
Otherwise, it would be embarrassing if you suddenly use brainstorming to recall things during a copy and your energy is exhausted on the spot.
Two days passed like flowing water.
In the southern region thousands of miles away from the City of the Sea.
Nantian District, Ten Thousand People Stairway Square.
At this time, the place was noisy and crowded.
The tiered seats that could originally accommodate more than 10,000 people were not only fully occupied, but even the aisles and outer layers were filled with dense crowds of onlookers.
The wealthy simply booked rooms in the hundred-story hotel building that towers into the sky next to the square. They didn't care even if the prices increased three to five times compared to normal times.
Today is indeed a special day.
Huaxiu Country held its first audition for the God-making Project.
Although most of the audience present had never heard of the 'Long Stairway to God'.
But who doesn’t want to watch the fun?
Especially topics like this one that have something to do with the word "God" have long been popular in the Southern Region.
Among them were some cities close to the Southern Territory, and citizens also rushed to join in the fun.
The game hasn't started yet, but the crowd is already bustling with activity and the sound of discussion is endless.
"I heard that several god-level players will be selected from this audition. Is that true?"
"Gui Gui, what level ..."
"Who cares what level he is? Anyway, he is higher than you and me. Besides, don't try to figure out the affairs of God. Just enjoy the fun!"
"Rumor! I also heard it from a distant cousin of mine. He has a distant relative who is a subordinate of the Southern Region Chief Ma Gongping. It is said, it is said! The deterrence brought by the god-level players has exceeded the level of nuclear weapons! There is a small country in the neighboring Oceanic Continent that has always been bullied by several surrounding countries, but then a god-level player ascended! He immediately overthrew the regimes of those neighboring countries and incorporated them into his own colonies..."
"Fuck? Is this true? Can he destroy a country with just a wave of his hand? Oh my god... Is this a self-propelled nuclear explosion?"
"How the hell could that be fake? Otherwise, would our country make such a big fuss and have a nationwide election for a god-level player?"
“That makes sense…”
There were also some audience members in the crowd who knew a little bit about the inside story and couldn't stand it anymore, so they corrected him in dissatisfaction.
"What the hell is going on here? This kind of selection competition won't even allow you to touch the hairs of the god-level players! This is just an audition for the God-making Project. The ones selected are just candidates for the God-making Project, not even god-making seeds."
"Not to mention that even if a group of god-making seeds are selected, whether they can create god-level players is still hard to say. It's still a long way off."
"Brother Dong, have you ever seen a god-level player?" someone asked curiously.
"No... I've only heard of it. Anyway, their strength is beyond what you and I can imagine." The audience member who was doing the popular science looked slightly embarrassed.
"Tsk, I thought you understood."
"Who cares if it's a god-level player or a god-making plan? As long as there's something exciting to watch, that's all that matters!"
"Shh! Quiet, quiet! The domain chief is coming out!!"
