My players are so fierce

Chapter 1055 1053. After 11 months of operation, we have successfully degenerated from an open world to a linear narrative (sad)

"Bang Bang"

The knock on the door at dawn interrupted Murphy's work at his desk, and he looked up from the sea of ​​books on his desk and saw Tracy walking into the room with a cup of coffee.

She had the blood heart on her neck, letting the scattered light linger on her chest, making Tracy's generous and wealthy body have a different kind of "holiness", and her posture was quite gentle, like a wife visiting her husband who worked late at night, which also made Murphy's eyes soft. However, before Murphy showed a relieved smile, he saw Tracy sitting on the sofa and holding the fragrant coffee to her mouth.

This made Murphy's expression completely collapse.

Well.

I thought it was prepared for him, it seems that I really thought too much.

"Why did you drink coffee? Did the Blood Eagle Grand Duke finally empty his wine cellar after being addicted to alcohol all day?" Murphy immediately frowned and said: "Don't act pitiful in front of me. With Transia's sustainable financial tension and repeated operations on the edge of bankruptcy, I can't take out a few dollars from my pocket as the governor, so I can't buy you good wine." "Do I still need you to find a way to get wine for me? What do you think of me, the Blood Eagle Grand Duke?" Tris curled her lips disdainfully and said: "I just send a few favorability tasks. What good wine can't I get? If I take out a few of the bottom-box goods in the Sarokdar treasury as rewards, my powerful little players may be able to cross the gray desert to Kaler now Muguguo helped me grab the fine wine from the Dragon Emperor's cellar.

It's just unnecessary. Their value should be used in more reasonable and more important occasions. "

"Oh, now you're talking about your little players all the time."

Murphy snorted and continued to lower his head to modify his version copy. He said without raising his head:

"If this gets out, others will think you are the administrator. Unfortunately, as an important member of the development team, I haven't seen you make any efforts for the upcoming 3.0 version. Fortunately, I don't have to really pay you wages, otherwise I would really dissolve the company and break up on the spot.

Huh?"

Before this sour complaint was finished, a cold wine glass was placed next to him.

The vampire raised his head and saw that Tris put the blood-red drink on the table, and also took out a piece of fresh lemon and placed it on the corner of the glass like magic.

It turned out that this was the energy drink for night work that he had just given him.

"Why only one slice? If the players see me, they will think I can't afford it. Put more slices. I like the lemon flavor." Murphy leaned back in his chair and grumbled to the bartender like a customer who ordered a cocktail, which immediately brought a murderous look to Tris's pretty face. But then she shrugged her shoulders, opened her left hand and grabbed it casually, and then closed it. There was a lemon in her hand, and she gathered spiritual energy and turned it into a small blade to cut a few slices on the spot and inserted them into the corner of the cup. This made Murphy nod with satisfaction. As soon as he picked up the drink, he heard Cui Si say sinisterly:

"You are really capable, drink it if you have the guts"

"Tsk"

Murphy sneered, drank a third of it, and then made a happy sound, turned his head and looked at Cui Si, and said:

"If it is really poisonous, you still have about ten seconds to save your little cutie, or we can say something in this last minute."

"Bang"

A stack of sorted manuscripts was slammed on the table by Cui Si, she glanced at Murphy, and said in a businesslike manner:

"The documents you asked me to prepare All the information is here. It turns out that you are not the only dog ​​planner in the development team who cares about work.

In a place you can't see, Professor Malcolm is almost editing a set of "Otherworld Encyclopedia: Race and Civilization" for the forum, and Maxim and Adele are working diligently as administrators, not daring to relax for a moment.

Little Sharon has been learning otherworldly knowledge on the forum and compiling it into our local teaching content. The only eldest lady who is just idling around has also managed the forum's video database very well. My suggestion is that you'd better take some time. Give everyone a holiday or something.

Otherwise, we have to find a way to report you to the HR department of Alpha Company for exploiting employees. ”

“Vacation? These are the two words that capitalists hate the most, second only to salary increase.”

Murphy picked up the copy that Tracy brought and flipped through it. After a few minutes, he nodded and said:

“Very good, covering 47 medium- and long-term exploration-type side quests and treasure-hunting-related special gameplay, and also with a part of the analysis of the cultural customs of the Songhai Empire. People who have not lived there can’t write it.

Especially for the side quests of the Port of Origin, the Holy City of the Moon and the Royal City of Ptolemy, the content is very sophisticated, I appreciate it very much.

I knew that it would be absolutely no problem to give these things to you!

This thing is enough to support part of the guiding game content. With these tasks as a guide, it is enough for players to expand their activity trajectory to most of the territory of the Songhai Empire. I will give these things to Penny later.

As the guiding NPC of this DLC, she must memorize these contents proficiently, but this is not a problem for the mechanical mind.

Take a look at this, I just made it. ”

Murphy picked up a copy he had compiled on his desk and handed it to Tris. The latter took one look at it and her expression became strange.

"What is this? Official guidance for newcomers? I don't remember that there was such a thing before."

Tris said curiously:

"According to our experience, if we drop the players anywhere and give them a few main clues, they will figure out how to trigger the clues and go on step by step. All we have to do is track their movements and, when appropriate, Give prompts at the time node or spatial location.

In your words, a standard open world exploration mode, everything is unknown and exciting. "

"There is nothing wrong with the original model. I just think we can adopt a more effective training method. After all, after this wave of newcomers enter, the player base will exceed 10,000, and we can no longer just copy small and sophisticated game models. .

We must make rational use of the resources at hand to shape warriors in batches. "

Murphy explained while holding a wine glass:

"For example, in the pure rookie stage before the Black Iron level, I wandered around the Crimson Castle, and at most went to Smuggler's Wood and the Cadman River to hunt fishermen. After completing the Black Iron Trial, I went to Cadman City to help residents clean up the city. The remaining astral creatures and purify those supernatural phenomena that have not subsided to this day.

The next upgrade area is in the underground palace of Baphomet, where things are getting weirder and weirder. Help the members of the Midnight Faction there to suppress the violent and dangerous goatman cultists, and unlock their potential through continuous fighting.

The last upgraded area is the Brass Ruins that will be officially opened in the next DLC. The situation there is more dangerous and complex, but the benefits are higher.

I can't let a group of black iron newbies go there and kill other forces.

Just like a linear level, Tris, after challenging an area and getting full rewards, you can go to the next area.

According to the results of the questionnaire survey conducted by Maxim on the forum a few days ago, we must admit that although there are a lot of plot parties, as the total number of players continues to increase, this linear mode can satisfy most ordinary people. Players' needs for power and gains.

The most common shortcoming in the questionnaire results is that although the current game has a lot of content, it lacks effective guidance.

And when a player can fight his way out of the brass ruins with rich loot and return fully loaded, he will definitely be qualified to become a member of the backbone that Transia needs most at the moment.

That kind of player has strength, skill, will, equipment accumulation, and a clear goal of his own.

As long as you give them a clear main line, they will run all the way in that direction.

It's really important to appreciate the scenery on the road, but if you don't play the game to pass the level, then it's all meaningless. Of course, in order to cope with the arrival of new players and the opening of new versions, we may also complete upgrades on the ‘hardware’.

In addition to the new generation of computing orbs that are being put into production in Port Chardeau, we should also seek the assistance of Ms. Rose, who has just embarked on the road of network and data."

The vampire drank the last sip of the drink, put the cup on the table, and said to Tris:

"In short, I am planning to create an undead army that can be dispatched at any time and wreak havoc on any battlefield. I have a hunch, Tris, as I collect the things left behind by the Creator and gradually unravel the mystery from thousands of years ago, We are getting closer and closer to the decisive battle with dusk.

They are no longer a frightening ghost spread in dark nursery rhymes, they are no longer a dangerous idea that cannot be killed.

I used the scepter of God to blast away the veil of their pretense, forcing them to come out of their hiding places to face me. Every day that passes, my warriors become stronger. Every second that our enemies hesitate, victory is further away. They step.

I don't know how many dirty secrets they still hide in the old continent, but as long as I win another victory in the Songhai Empire, then this game will become completely unbalanced.

With the strong support of the Songhai people and the loyal followers of the gnolls, the guardians of creation, Transia will gain the power to sweep across the old continent overnight.

Of course they can still play some shady little conspiracy, but that will no longer be a problem that bothers us.

However, the direction I can see, the leaders of the dusk can naturally also see, after I harvested the scepter of God that can kill anyone and any organization, after I formatted all the legacy of the Creator and turned the table over , the confrontation between me and them has reached the most critical node.

I have always said that shadows are not worth fearing because a ray of light is enough to drive them away.

The Creator hopes that I can be that light, and I am working hard to move in that direction, but the shadow will not be willing to be dispelled, just like the ashes also yearn for rekindling, and a counterattack unwilling to fail is already a certainty.

I can't guess in which direction they will make their final push, but the more power we can use, the better. "

"When thinking about this kind of thing, you always have to think like a bad guy, but you are not good at this because you are not a bad guy. However, I am not bragging. I have some experience in this area."

Tris put the copy on the table, brushed her hair, and said to Murphy with a charming smile:

"Bad guys like Dusk are always good at grasping the key points. Therefore, if I were to implement Dusk's strategy, I would use all my strength to stop you and kill you. After a series of events, it has been confirmed that you are the core of all the troubles.

If you die, the troublesome undead heroes will disappear!

And without a strong governor who can convince the people, Transia will naturally be torn and devoured by the wolves looking around. Lord Paying will definitely not give up, but he cannot replace your important task in the current situation. All the difficulties Dusk faces will be alleviated in an instant.

The best thing is that the Songhai Empire is where you must go, so you only need to lay a trap in the endless yellow sand. Trap.

No!

Putting all your hopes on a trap is obviously too risky. To be safe, a series of traps are needed to ensure that you cannot return to your territory alive and become a powerful enemy of the destroyers.

Your defeat is far more than a victory or a failure.

As you said, the shadows will not be willing to be dispelled. They do not want to see the light coming.

You are the chosen one of the Creator and the number one enemy of the Chaos Shadow. Your demise means that the power of the Creator left in the real world will collapse, and the Chaos Forces will make a comeback. Even if other new gods will continue to resist in their own kingdoms, the collapse of the flag means the arrival of failure.

A true black The Dark Ages will begin, and the final destruction of the world will become a reality.

But on the other hand, if Twilight fails to kill you despite all its efforts, then they will be trapped in the vortex of failure and unable to extricate themselves.

Our decisive battle with Twilight came earlier than we thought, but I disagree with your statement that they will confront you face to face.

They won't, Murphy!

They are not stupid!

When the God's Scepter can lock onto any location in the world at any time and carry out a devastating blow, they will not show their feet. They will move in the shadows and use the power that has been exposed to stop you.

The King of the Wraiths of the Songhai Empire, the Source and the Witch Cult that are being hunted by Shani and Lina, The Midnight Mother, the scholar and his resuscitation program, the slave owner, etc., who are waiting in the warp.

But the Master and those Twilight giants who are still hiding will never appear.

Unless you can pull out these exposed nails and force them into a corner, but with the various energies currently displayed by Twilight, it is very likely that while you are pulling out these nails, the Master has already completed their preparations for a Jedi counterattack in the shadows.

I believe they have this ability.

I also believe that they are doing this. Time has become the most important part of this game, just like a race. Whoever is closer to the finish line in the last minute will win! "

Tris breathed a sigh of relief.

She reached out and touched Murphy's cheek, saying: "But fortunately, you already know what Dusk is looking for, so you have a card that can be played at the most critical moment. Even if our struggle in the Old World fails, you can go to the New World alone and join the Aztecs to the Heart of the World, where you will fight Dusk with the Sentinel Corps on the final battlefield. As long as this world is not broken by Chaos, Dusk's trick will not succeed! This is their biggest weakness. The great power cannot be attributed to themselves, so they cannot use their own power to complete the great cause of destroying the world. You have passed the most vulnerable time. The fact that Dusk failed to kill you when you were weak has confirmed their defeat in the future. I think this is the most ingenious arrangement of the Creator. He did not leave you here and no longer pay attention to you. He used a series of guidance to let you pass through your larval period smoothly.

You are a seed.

The moment you break through the soil and take root and sprout, you can no longer be defeated. "

"Well, that makes sense. After listening to your analysis, I suddenly feel that I really have a great advantage!"

Murphy grinned, stroked Tris's hand and glanced at the copy on the table. He stretched his waist, moved his neck and said:

"So So, what I have to do next is to crush the exposed Twilight Giants one by one as quickly as possible, forcing the Monk to emerge from the shadows. However, I still feel that the Creator is not generous enough to me.

For example, if He could give me a "one-shot kill" system!

After completing certain tasks, I can get the power to kill the Chaos Sin in one second, then I don't need to play tricks with these bastards here. "

"Using what you said just now, this is a game. In addition to passing the level, you also have to learn to appreciate the scenery on the road, Murphy, didn't you say it yourself? The Creator is I am very concerned about your "game experience". "

The Blood Eagle Duke shook his head and said:

"It's almost dawn, take a rest. Tomorrow we will go to Xike City to meet the little mummy. She will be our guide in the Land of Origin. I also hope that the little mummy will say a few good words to Bayek, the old man, to help me get rid of the eternal wanted list of the Church of the Dead Moon.

Well, I hope that when I set foot in the Land of Origin again, I will not stir up a wave there like last time.

I hope everything will go well this time. "

"Tris."

"Hmm?"

"You just raised a flag. If something really happens this time, it will be all your fault. "
