I Became a God in a Horror Game: 38. Game Hall
As a member of the King's Guild, Wang Shun is mainly responsible for two tasks because his personal skills are related to information collection. One is to collect clearance data of various games, and the other is to find potential players for the guild. Wang Shun originally wanted to report Bai Liu's data, but seeing the announcement that the King's Guild was recruiting [puppet players] for [Puppeteer Master], Wang Shun hesitated again.
If Bai Liu is reported to the public now, Bai Liu's superior intelligence data and spiritual value data will probably be noticed by [Puppet Master], and it is easy to be forced to become a [Puppet Player].
For ordinary players, being selected as a [puppet player] seems to be a pretty good job, but for a newcomer like Bai Liu with a development potential as high as S level, it would be a pity to be a puppet.
Another point is that when Wang Shun was doing statistical analysis of the data, he found that the panel of the player who had been a [puppet player] for this [string puppet master] had never increased after being a puppet , or rise very slowly.
On the other hand, [String Puppeteer], the intelligence point has risen from only 71 points to 93 points, and the other panel attributes are also soaring.
Only Wang Shun, who does data collection and analysis within the King's Guild, can understand these data. He guessed a long time ago that the personal skill of [Puppet Master] is not only [Manipulation of Players], but also [Potential Absorption]. But now many players know that [String Puppeteer] only has the skill of [Manipulating Players].
Many players who were judged by Wang Shun as high potential eventually fell into the arms of [Puppet Master], became puppets, gradually became mediocre, and then were abandoned by [Puppeteer] Or simply die in the game, from a piece of jade that can emit luster after being polished into a piece of mud that has been sucked dry and crushed.
While Wang Shun felt it was a pity, he also had to accept this helpless reality.
This is how the weak eat the strong in the game. After the low-level players are squeezed out of the remaining value, they will be discarded by the guild or the strong. human life.
So joining the guild is not necessarily the best choice for a very eye-catching player like Bai Liu. It is too easy to be restrained by the rules and regulations in the guild and then used by the superior players. Mu Sicheng also saw through this point back then. , So I killed him and didn't join the King's Guild.
Coincidentally, it was also this [Puppeteer with String] who saw Mu Sicheng wanting Mu Sicheng to join the King's Guild back then. Domination, rejected the puppet master's invitation.
Later, Mu Sicheng suffered a lot in the hands of this puppet master. In the later stage, he became very powerful, and his ranking gradually climbed to about 300 in the comprehensive score list before he was released by [Puppet Master]. Pass.
However, Bai Liu, a rookie player with great potential who is currently ranked over 3,000, is not so easy to be let go by [Puppet Master].
Although Wang Shun did not submit Bai Liu's personal information to the King's Guild out of selfishness, Bai Liu's eye-catching performance and panel data still attracted the attention of [Puppet Master].
[String Puppeteer] has been stuck here for a long time at [intelligence value of 93 points]. He needs a player with high intelligence as his [nutrient] for developing intelligence.
Is there any better nourishment than a rookie player like Bai Liu who has only played a single-player game? there is none left.
Wang Shun wanted to remind Bai Liu to pay attention to this [Puppeteer with String], and the people from [Puppeteer with String] were also looking for Bai Liu, but Bai Liu was wearing a colorful chicken nest head and black lipstick, even if it was Now that Bai Liu is standing in front of Lu Yizhan, the person who has been playing with Bai Liu for more than ten years, Lu Yizhan may not even recognize that the person in front of him is Bai Liu.
Unexpectedly, someone recognized Bai Liu through his strange appearance.
Mu Sicheng folded his chest and looked at Bai Liu who was standing at the entrance of the game without saying a word: "...Bai Liu, what did the real world do to you? What does it look like?"
"Can you recognize me?" Bai Liu was a little surprised.
He swaggered through the hall several times with this face, but no one recognized him, but Mu Sicheng recognized him without a doubt once he saw him.
Mu Sicheng smiled smugly, showing one side of his little tiger teeth: "Unexpectedly, Bai Liu, I can recognize you no matter how you pretend, I said I will let you steal it from me last time." Return all the things you have, you can't escape! I can find you!"
"If you don't recognize people by appearance..." Bai Liu glanced at the weird hip-hop monkey on Mu Sicheng's hat, "You recognized me by smell, your skills are related to this monkey ? Strengthen the five senses?"
Mu Sicheng's smile became stronger and stronger: "Guess wrong~ My personal skill is not to strengthen the five senses, but I did recognize you by smell. You have a strong smell of copper, or Talk about money."
"That should smell good." Bai Liu was noncommittal, he looked at Mu Sicheng calmly, "What do you want from me?"
"A player is looking for another player——" Mu Sicheng looked up at the huge game login entrance behind Bai Liu, the smile on his face was dim, and the red light in his eyes flickered, "—Of course it is for playing games , I don’t allow you to hide in the single-player game, it’s so boring, and the death rate is too low.”
Bai Liu nodded in agreement: "After I found out that the point rewards for multiplayer games are ten times that of single-player games, I gave up on this poor division."
"..." All words that Mu Sicheng wanted to scare Bai Liu got stuck, he looked at Bai Liu who was really carefully selecting the multiplayer games he wanted to enter, and asked dejectedly, "No, Bai Liu, It's easy to die in a multiplayer game, aren't you afraid?"
Beside the login entrance behind Bailiu is a huge projection screen, with covers and names of various games randomly distributed on it.
Bai Liu used his arm to support his chin to select the game he wanted to enter, his eyes quickly scanned these games, and did not give Mu Sicheng a superfluous look, he said lightly: "Objectively speaking, I have the fear of death , but this kind of fear is nothing compared to the fear that poverty brings me."
Mu Sicheng doesn't understand Bai Liu's brain circuit at all, but the depression that Bai Liu brings to him is very real: "No, don't you panic when you enter this game? Are you too calm?"
Bai Liu stared at the game on the screen, and talked with Mu Sicheng with two purposes, "The reason why I am calm and not afraid may be that I come to this game with the mentality of coming to work."
"Come to work?" Mu Sicheng was completely speechless, "Are you coming to work in a horror game?"
"Yes, I can work once a week and have five days off, and I can earn at least 200,000 yuan for a good job. There is no boss to deduct my bonus and salary, and there is no need to talk to some human beings who can't understand me during the whole process. Dealing with them, succumbing to them or barely communicating with them, I just need to do what I am good at-playing horror games.”
Bai Liu was finally willing to turn around and look at Mu Sicheng, he shrugged, "Except for the slightly higher death rate, but when I work in the real world, I often stay up late, and it doesn't matter when I die suddenly, so the death rate is high This point can also be ignored, in summary, this is an ideal job with high income for me, and I can never find this kind of job in the real world, so it is difficult to have any fear of games.”
Mu Sicheng: "..."
Mu Sicheng felt that he was **** convinced by Bai Liu.
"May I ask?" Bai Liu asked Mu Sicheng, he pointed to the various games on the huge wall, "Are there only 100 horror games on this screen in this game? Judging from the number of small TVs and players in the game, 100 is a bit too small, I would like to ask if there are other games?"
In the forum, there are usually many discussions about a certain player and a certain specific game, but there is no relevant discussion on the basic mechanism of this kind of game. Bai Liu went shopping for a while and found no popular science posts related to the game. Sicheng came to the door, and Bai Liu just happened to regard him as a questioning object.
"There are far more types of horror games in this game, and we don't know how many there are." After each game has players logged in and is full, the screen will be refreshed, and a new game will appear on the screen, but sometimes there will be a game that is the same as the last time.”
Bai Liu touched his chin: "That is to say, this game has a general game "question bank". We players don't know exactly how many games this question bank contains."
"Every time the system will randomly or non-randomly select 100 kinds of game questions from this question bank and put them on this screen, let us players as candidates choose one of the game questions to answer. When it comes to important questions, sometimes they may all be new questions, does that mean?"
"That's right." Mu Sicheng said.
"Well, if this is the case, no wonder there are guilds in this game."
Bai Liu was thoughtful, "The big guilds in the early games should summarize some [answers] to the [heavy questions] that appeared in the game, that is, how to pass the level quickly and safely, and share it as internal information. Recruit capable newcomers."
"And players with strength or potential can open up wasteland to play some new games to accumulate [answers], and they will get more resources from the guild, but with the existence of [live broadcast], the [answers] of the game are to a certain extent To be clear, this kind of system cannot exist for a long time, the current guild should not rely on the game [answer] to develop, and it should have reached the stage of relying on the advanced players in the guild.”
"If I want to develop a guild, I should allow high-level players to lead low-level players to clear the level, but low-level players need to pay certain points to high-level players, which is equivalent to remuneration, and certain points to the guild, which is equivalent to paying taxes."
"At the same time, the props obtained by the low-level players are fully allocated by the guild, and most of them will flow into the pockets of the high-level players, so as to stabilize the high-level players and continue to stay in the guild." Bai Liu sighed, "But this will inevitably lead to The exploitation of low-level players by high-level players has curbed the development of low-level players. Because many low-level players have no props and personal skills, they can only survive as subordinates of high-level players in the guild.”
"But there are a steady stream of newcomers joining the guild, so that the exploited low-level players can exploit the newcomers, and the guild can only exist stably by forming a chain of exploitation layer by layer. Tsk, newcomers are equivalent to low-level leeks. No wonder there are so many players in this game. How many low-level players are so hostile to me, a rookie."
Bai Liu saw that he was torn apart on the forum, but he didn't care much about it, and now he understands a little bit.
Mu Sicheng is dumbfounded: "..."
What Bai Liu said was absolutely correct, almost verbatim with what Mu Sicheng knew about the current situation of the guild.
Bai Liu looked at Mu Sicheng strangely: "Why do you look at me with such strange eyes?"
"I was thinking..." Mu Sicheng's face was full of vicissitudes, "Is your intelligence value really only 89?"
It's **** outrageous! How did this thing come to be inferred!
He just answered the question about the type of game. This guy has already turned over and straightened out the system of the guild in the entire game!
"Many newcomers join the guild in order to survive, because the high-players in the guild will indeed protect them to pass the level. Although they need to pay one-third of the points for clearing the level, it is indeed safer and not easy to die. But you High-potential rookies should be directly cultivated, and I just wanted to ask you why you didn’t join the guild.” Mu Sicheng ripped open a lollipop and held it in depression, “Now I don’t think I need to ask.”
"Because it's stupid to join a guild." Bai Liu said bluntly, "In this kind of game that will kill people, there won't be any public welfare organizations, and it will definitely be profitable for you."
"Although in the short term, the guild will help you reduce the death rate, but you have been cowardly paying a lot of points to the guild. In this kind of game that requires personal expressiveness to attract the audience, it is self-destruction. Waiting until the guild can no longer If you gain any benefits from your body, you will definitely give up, and most of your points and items will be handed over. If you don’t have any capital to survive independently, you will definitely die.”
Mu Sicheng looked at Bai Liu in amazement, and he looked at Bai Liu with a little interest: "What do you do in the real world, why are you so clear about the operation of this... guild organization?"
Indeed, many low-level players who are useless are rarely brought by high-level guild players in the later stage.
"The vast majority of companies in the world operate in this way, relying on drawing big cakes and so-called internal resources to attract employees, and then waiting for employees to stay up late until productivity drops, they will fire you and recruit younger employees Come squeeze."
Bai Liu was expressionless, "In the real world, I am just a low-level social animal who was fired and exploited, so it is absolutely impossible for me to join the guild and be exploited after entering the game."
Mu Sicheng: "..."
This guy exudes a strong resentment when he talks about the social animal life in the real world...
"Then what game do you want to play?" Mu Sicheng glanced at the screen, "Is there a game you like on it? Or do you want to watch it again?"
"The login limit for a single-player game is 100, and all single-player games on this screen have been fully logged in." Mu Sicheng pointed to a [full] symbol in the lower right corner of a game icon, holding Lollipop vaguely introduced to Bai Liu, "No, if there is this mark [full] on the game icon, it means that the game is already full and no new players can be logged in."
"As for multiplayer games, each multiplayer game has a different login limit. I have played with only 4 players, and there are also 50 players. It depends on the specific game. By the way, this "Ghost Building", " Doom City and this Electrified multiplayer game are games that have come before.”
Mu Sicheng casually pointed to a few games, "Do you want to play these? I can help you find some customs clearance information for these games, but I won't give them to you for free."
"No." Bai Liu refused without hesitation, "Even if I have information, I'm definitely much slower to react when playing old games than those guild players who have played many times.
"That's true." Mu Sicheng bit the lollipop, "You are quite adventurous, most newcomers will still go to the old game for stability."
"My purpose is to earn money, not to survive." Bai Liu replied flatly, "I need to win, I need to be the first in order to get enough points."
"You are really strange——" Mu Sicheng thought for a while, gave up the idea of understanding Bai Liu, and wrinkled his nose in confusion, "You earn so many points, if you earn so many points in the game If you are dead, you have no place to spend."
Bai Liu replied naturally: "I don't earn points for spending, but for hoarding, and—" He suddenly made a very strange smile, and Bai Liu turned to look at the girl who was stunned by his sudden smile. Mu Sicheng, "Do you think I will die in the game?"
"I'm still a little confident. Playing horror games is what I'm best at. Maybe I won't die so easily." Bai Liu smiled, "I'm better at designing levels in games to let other players die , but I have never died in a game designed by others."
Mu Sicheng: "..."
What the **** does this guy do in real life! Are you really not a criminal?
"Why is there no logged-in player in this game?" Bai Liu tapped the game icon on the screen with the image of a burning train, the icon enlarged and fell into the game manager on Bai Liu's chest, Bai Liu clicked on the icon to view Specific information about the game, ""The Last Bus"?"
A hundred games on this screen are almost full, but this game is still empty, which is a bit conspicuous and weird.
[Game Dungeon Name: "Burst Last Train"]
[Level: Level 2 (games with a player death rate greater than 50% and less than 80% are level 2 games)]
[Mode: Multiplayer Mode (0/7)]
[Comprehensive description: This is an exciting collection-oriented multiplayer game. The last train burning in the fire, the shattered glass pieces and the charred corpse hanging from the hanging ring made many players linger and forget to return forever. Here~]
When Mu Sicheng saw this icon, he frowned: "Do you want to play this?"
"What's wrong with this game?" Bai Liu asked.
Mu Sicheng paused: "This is actually an old game that has appeared on the game screen several times, but currently there is no clearance information."
Bai Liu instantly understood, it has appeared several times, and the refresh system of the game wall here is that all games must be full to refresh, so there should be several groups of players who have entered.
But there is no clearance record... Bai Liu looked sideways at Mu Sicheng: "The players who entered before are all dead?"
"It's very strange, if no player has cleared the level..." Bai Liu's eyes swept across the icon of "Burst Last Train", and he tapped twice on the line of [Death Rate], "This How is it determined that the game death rate is less than 80% and greater than 50%? Judging from the data of all players being wiped out, the death rate should be 100%.”
Mu Sicheng refuted Bai Liu disapprovingly: "This is just a way of grading games. Almost all games have this grading."
"If according to what you said, the death rate of the game is actually measured, then any game with a not 100% death rate should have clearance players and clearance data, but I watched the video in the vip library and asked I have recruited a lot of very old masters, and indeed I have not found any players who have cleared this "Burst Last Train", I think there are indeed no players who have cleared the level."
Bai Liu suddenly took a meaningful look at Mu Sicheng: "Just because you didn't find out, doesn't mean you didn't."
"The death rate of "Burst Last Train" is between 80% and 50%. If according to what you said, at least 20% of the players who have passed this "Burst Last Train" really exist—" Mu Sicheng Unconvinced, he retorted, "Such a not-so-small group of players has been on the small TV and successfully cleared the level. They will always post forum posts, or who has seen the small TV or the video. It is impossible to have no traces, right? "
"How many players do you think there are in this game?" Bai Liu turned his head and looked directly at Mu Sicheng.
Mu Sicheng was taken aback by the question: "I don't know, but there should be a lot."
"Has there been any traces of our existence in real life for such a not-so-small group of players?"
Bai Liu asked unhurriedly, "Can everything we have related to this game be seen by people in the real world? The words we post related to this game, no matter what form they take, can exist and form traces. Or can it be remembered by anyone? For those players who have not entered the game, is there any trace of [player]? Of course not."
Mu Sicheng was completely stunned by Bai Liu's question.
Bai Liu asked the last question unhurriedly: "Okay, now back to the first question, we game [players] have no trace of existence in the real world, so do you think we exist?" ?”
"Of course we exist." Bai Liu replied quickly, "The traces of our existence have just been erased by others, so is it possible that at least 20% of the players who have cleared "Burst Last Train" are like this What? The traces of their existence have been erased by the game or the system?"
Mu Sicheng was enlightened: "Their clearance data and player data have been deleted!"
"It is very likely that they themselves have also been "deleted"." Bai Liu looked at the icon of "Burst Last Train", "These players who have passed the level are likely to be dead, otherwise they would not come to the game for a second time. "
Mu Sicheng got goosebumps from Bai Liu's words, but he was still a little upset: "But everything you said is based on the actual measurement of [game death rate], but if in the game [ Player death rate] If this thing is a virtual measurement..."
Mu Sicheng was startled when he said this.
Bai Liu raised his eyes and looked at Mu Sicheng: "I believe you should have discovered by now that the death rate is a kind of data that cannot be measured virtually."
"Have you studied statistics?" Bai Liu asked Mu Sicheng, "In statistics, there are two values that must be measured, one is the birth rate, and the other is the death rate."
As he spoke, he casually clicked twice on the icon of "Burst Last Train" on his game panel. Under Mu Sicheng's horrified eyes and screams, Bai Liu slowly entered the game.
Mu Sicheng collapsed: "Why did you go in all of a sudden!!"
Bai Liu gradually faded before Mu Sicheng's eyes, and he thought about answering Mu Sicheng's words: "I am very curious about the player data of these "Burst Last Train" that the system has specially deleted. Experience tells me, the more It is something that is hidden deeper by the superior, the more profitable it is..."
[The game "Burst Last Train" has gathered one player, and six players are needed to start]
