I Became a God in a Horror Game: 21, Siren Town
I have to say that the final result is much better than what Bai Liu expected.
The props in the game seem to have a bonus effect. The burning state of these barrels of high-concentration alcohol is much more exaggerated than the degree of alcohol burning that Bai Liu saw in real life. The same is true for the strong flashlight before, which is so bright All going blind.
With the sunrise at the seaside and the bright sky, these nocturnal mermaids who are afraid of light gradually sneaked under the sea surface and disappeared without a trace.
After Bai Liu confirmed that there was no mermaid around, he distracted himself and clicked on the panel. He hadn't had time to look at it before because he was busy fighting against the burning mermaid, but now Bai Liu looked at the information on the panel and couldn't help squinting. squinted.
[Sub-task: Jeref's Bloody Conspiracy, 90% complete]
Andre has been killed, and the driver has been burned to death by Bai Liu. There is still 10% of the progress of this side mission. How to push this 10% [Bloody Conspiracy] ?
[Point balance: 684, do you want to buy props? 】
Bai Liu was taken aback for a moment. He stared at the sudden increase in the number of points for a while. He opened the panel and clicked to view the details of the points. He found that more than 500 points were from [Charging].
In other words, he tossed all night last night, and more than 80% of the points were not earned from completing tasks in the game system, but from rewards from those [spectators]. Thoughtfully fiddled with the coin on his chest—in other words, [spectator] points are easier to earn than game points, and they are much more.
This is unreasonable, because the rewards of the game itself are lower than the rewards outside the game, which will make players passive in the game, make players make some trade-offs in order to please things outside the game, or simply stop playing, Wouldn't it be good to just use some gimmicks to attract the audience and let the audience give a reward?
Especially when points can be used to buy items directly, if the points obtained by tipping are sufficient, for Bai Liu, he can buy a large number of items and then violently clear the level, so that the game will have no experience at all.
Bai Liu doesn't know how to design this kind of game, and he thinks this system won't either.
There must be some kind of reward in this game, which can balance the reward system inside and outside the game, so that players want to get rewards from the game more than outside the game.
Bai Liu flipped the coin over and over again on his fingers. All the task rewards in this game are instant, that is, you can get points rewards immediately after completing the task, but there is one exception——
—That's the monster book.
This kind of reward, which can only be obtained by collecting all the pages, needs to be cleared before it can be issued. Generally speaking, the weight of the reward should be very large, but Bai Liu now looks at the reward points and feels that he still underestimated the monster The weight of the book.
He now feels that the rewards given at the end of the monster book may not only be large, but also very precious, and they are the kind that cannot be easily purchased with points, so as to balance the reward mechanism inside and outside the game.
Bai Liu opened the monster book, looked at each page for a while, and finally his eyes stopped on the page [Siren King] which was not unlocked at all, and he paused.
【"Siren Town Monster Book" - Siren King (2/4)】
[Monster Name: Siren King]
[Weakness: None (players are not required to explore the monster's weakness)]
[Attack method:? ? ? (Unknown, to be explored)]
[Note: It is a wandering god-level npc with a very high level of danger, please explore carefully]
This is to explore the attack method... Judging from the previous monsters, the attack method is that they launch an attack, and the player will complete the exploration here.
But for a monster of the Siren King's level, Bai Liu felt that he was definitely gg when he launched an attack.
But let Bai Liuming know that there is such a big and fat reward here, and let it go, it is not the style of this miser.
If Bai Liu knew how cruel this npc was, and heard all kinds of deeds of this bug-like npc in rumors, he might have given up. After all, when playing games, the thing he fears most is bugs. It can be hard-headed, because it is not something in the game itself, there is no logic, and players cannot fight against bugs.
But Bai Liu doesn't know now.
Not only did he not know, but Bai Liu also regarded this npc as a level-defending boss, thinking that if he defeated the opponent, the rewards must be huge, and the game must have a solution, no matter what the boss is, it must be There are ways to fight against,
Bai Liu stared at it for a while, clicked his tongue softly, closed the monster book, and opened the game store: [I want to buy items]
【Excuse me, what props do players need? Recently, there is a price reduction promotion for bubbles in water. Do players need it? 】
Bai Liu took a look, and sure enough, the items [Bubbles in Water] have dropped from 70 points to 40 points each, and the popular item bar next to [Bubbles in Water] has more [High Concentration Alcohol], which Bai Liu bought before. Props, and [high-concentration alcohol] has increased from 9 points per barrel to almost 13 points per barrel.
Watching this price change, Bai Liu showed a sly smile with a sense of triumph.
He guessed right, the process of his game will be fed back to the audience, which will cause the audience to change their purchase orientation, just like live streaming, as long as Bai Liu can use other cheaper props to achieve the same effect , then players will flock to buy, which will cause changes in the item price curve.
For example, he used a 3D projector and a flashlight to pass the [Siren Museum] map before. The conventional solution for that map should be to use flames to pass it, but Bai Liu used a few persistent props to pass it easily, and still □□The effect of playing the consumable item of Flaming Torch.
With a similar price, players are definitely more willing to buy persistent items, so the price of the flame torch is reduced, while the price of the 3D projector is increased.
This time he repeated the same trick, in order to reduce the price at the moment of [bubbles in the water], so that he could save a sum of money from the price difference in the middle.
Bai Liu smiled: [I want to buy a water bubble]
[OK, 40 points, thanks for your patronage]
Wang Shun, who rushed all the way from the death comedy section to the single-player game section, approached the small TV in bewilderment. After confirming that Bai Liu really bought a water bubble, Wang Shun fell into even greater confusion: ". ...how did he start buying bubbles in water again?"
"After "Siren Town", I remember almost all land chases, there is no place to use bubbles in the water..."
Besides, there is also a player who came over and analyzed with reason: "Now Bailiu has more points, and he doesn't know that there are basically land chase stations behind him, maybe he bought one just in case, anyway. It's not expensive, only forty."
"He now has more than 600 points and spent 40 to buy himself a bubble in water, which is equivalent to buying insurance. After all, alcohol is still too risky."
But Wang Shun followed Bai Liu all the way, and he already understood this person's style of spending all his points on the knife's edge.
Before Bai Liu would rather take the risk to buy alcohol and choose a relatively high-risk and low-investment plan, rather than spend more points to buy water bubbles and choose a low-risk and high-investment plan, but now in order to avoid risks, Instead, spend an extra 50 points to buy a water bubble just in case this kind of practice...
Wang Shun somehow felt that Bai Liu couldn't do it.
Even Wang Shun had an extremely absurd idea, that is, Bai Liu only bought the bubbles in the water now, and he manipulated the price through a series of operations of his own, in order to wait for the price of the bubbles in the water to drop, so that he could save money by buying them.
Wang Shun muttered to himself while thinking.
Because he was immersed in his own thoughts, Wang Shun's volume was not low. After his soliloquy was heard by the audience player next to him.
The player couldn't help but retort: "You're not a fan of Bailiu, are you? Still manipulating the price?... He's a novice, and he hasn't released a game yet. I admit that he played There is something about the game, but manipulating the price of items is a bit too much.”
This player's attitude is a bit perfunctory: "I think he was so frightened even after such an exciting night. As soon as he saw the money, he immediately bought a few props that could save his life. I think it's still a big gamble..."
Wang Shun muttered softly when he saw the player's words: "It's just a gambling operation, it's nothing special, and it's actually relying on this to rush to the single-player division."
When this player talked about this, there was a bit of jealousy that couldn't be suppressed. It seemed that Bai Liu could be promoted to the [Single-player game division]. That's all.
The forum is also full of discussions about Bai Liu's use of alcohol to kill fish to pass the level. After the initial frenzy of praise, more and more people ridiculed Bai Liu for opportunistic and lucky.
Similar to this player who is judging Bailiu, most of them have a disdainful and sour attitude, [I can do it] attitude:
【What's wrong with this operation? I thought about it at the beginning, but there is a more secure plan in front of me. Why should I choose a higher risk plan? 】
【Hi, it's just pretending to be weird, it's not the first time I've seen you, isn't there a lot of pretending to be in the comedy of death? 】
[Laughing to death, I also bought nine bottles of alcohol, used four bottles, and kept the other five bottles for raising mermaids, right? For those who boast that this operation saves money, I will buy it for you. Here are 81 points, which is 11 points more expensive than the original bubbles in the water! 】
[Blow, some people just close their eyes and blow, right? His way of clearing the level is really useless except for the good-looking visual effects, and after clearing the level, he gets reward points, and he immediately bought bubbles in the water without saying anything. The bubbles in the water are good, if you have the ability to continue to burn with alcohol, I will see how you burn it when you go to land, the mermaid sculpture can't burn at all! 】
