Nightmare Lord's Virtual Game

Finally, at the innermost part, Zhang Xingyu found the prop needed to rescue Otilia - the strange rune.

[This strange object exudes a strange energy. You are sure that you have never seen anything like it, but your intuition tells you that it is a component of a larger machine. 】

Although it is not explicitly stated that this is a prop necessary to rescue Yingxin, it can be inferred from the prop description that this thing is useful.

Item descriptions are also part of the game. For example, in Dark Souls and Elden Ring, a lot of the plots in the game are not clearly explained, but from the item descriptions, players can infer the plots. Some high-level players who like to explore the plots even use the items in Dark Souls to make up the world view of the entire game, as well as the history of various characters and places, and connect the fragmented plots of Dark Souls into a story with a grand history. Until now, those posts that describe the world of Dark Souls through item information are also popular posts on the forum, and have even been included in the unofficial information record of the Dark Souls theme section by "Nightmare House", allowing players to understand this deep, dark, but grand and spectacular world!

The item descriptions of Dark Souls allow players to play the plot in their brains. As for the Baldur's Gate 333 game, the gameplay of item descriptions is slightly different.

Compared to Dark Souls, Baldur's Gate has more things you can pick up, but there is a lot of garbage in it... This requires players to identify these garbage and judge whether the garbage you picked up is useful or useless.

There are many ways to identify. Checking from the item description should be the simplest one. However, this method has a "trap", or in other words, an item needs to be carefully investigated before all its information can be viewed.

For example, a player picked up a strange-looking stone in a dungeon. The stone information is like this [A stone from XX side, it looks ordinary, an ordinary stone. ]

Seeing this kind of information, the player will naturally judge it as garbage and throw it away - there is too much garbage to pick up in Baldur's Gate. If you pick them up one by one... even if you form a team of 6 barbarians, you can't carry it!

However, if the player wipes the dust off the stone and investigates one side, he will see the hidden rune in the stone. If the player sees this rune, the information of the stone will change: [Stone from XX side, after wiping off the dust, the rune is seen, which may have unexpected uses]

Obviously, this is a useful stone.

This is the gameplay of exploration and puzzle solving specially designed by Zhang Xingyu for the world of Baldur's Gate. For this, Zhang Xingyu also designed magic items far beyond the original version, more item information, easter egg rewards, etc.

Of course, there are also characteristics of Baldur's Gate. Let's take this stone as an example. In fact, when the player picks up this stone, it will be identified once. If the identification isIf the identification is successful, a prompt will appear [It looks like an ordinary stone, but you found a little bit of incongruity. Maybe you can investigate it more carefully]

If the player is a mage and has relevant knowledge such as arcane, the success rate of identification will be higher.

The identification of this hidden item is directly determined by the system and will not be provided to the player in the information column. After all, if the player passes the system identification once when picking up the stone, even if the identification fails, the player can infer that the stone is unusual from the identification.

When magic and fantasy are in play, the hidden mysterious magic items, I think this kind of adventure will be quite cool... To put it another way... It feels like a magic world!

The brain that Zhang Xingyu got is actually such an item. After all, just looking at the item information, it really doesn't seem to be useful for this thing.

[Slaved Brain: The brain of a humanoid creature - perfectly preserved, extremely fresh - suspended in cerebrospinal fluid]

What can be obtained from this information? (baae) What is the use of a brain in a bottle?

What's even more exaggerated is that this item requires a long adventure, and it may not be used until the end of the second chapter. It is also a very hidden item.

At this moment, Zhang Xingyu didn't know that the exploration player designed in the game would explode with amazing popularity in the future, making many players keen to pick up garbage in the game world... What, you said I picked up garbage, no no no, maybe it is a hidden item hidden by magic!

Although not every successful exploration can get a good reward, for example, what players want most is naturally epic or even legendary magic equipment, but it is obviously impossible to have so many legendary equipment. More often, players can only get some gold coins, scrolls, potions and other consumables, or find a dusty historical record... However, the key to exploration lies in the process, and the happiness obtained in this process is the most important. (By the way, there is nightmare energy)

Even Zhang Xingyu didn't expect that these exploration gameplays designed by himself would keep the popularity of Baldur's Gate game for quite a long time!

……

Otilia is back, and naturally there is no brain-eating monster around her.

"Didn't you convince the brain-eating monster to be your friend?"

"No."

"Didn't you kill it?"

"Why? Didn't you say that if we kill it, [we] would be at risk of becoming enemies?"

"Indeed... But just now I saw the brain-eating monster run to the other side of the door, and you went over there too... I shouldn't know what happened over there."

"Hmm... I think so." Otilia was stunned for a moment and nodded.

Zhang Xingyu raised his eyebrows, thinking that Otilia seemed a little strange. At this time, he suddenly remembered that if he talked to the brain-eating monster in the prologue, the brain-eating monster would say...

Wait, could it be that——

"Brain-eating monsterWhat did you say?" Zhang Xingyu asked.

"No, nothing!" Otilia said immediately, but she seemed a little nervous.

"Why are you so nervous...wait, your face seems to be a little red?"

"No, no, what can a conversation with a brain-eating monster mean...Okay, didn't you say you got the key? Save that guy, quickly!" Otilia urged.

"Okay." Zhang Xingyu smiled: "I'll talk to the brain-eating monster later."

"You have your own brain-eating monster, what are you talking about...Besides, the brain-eating monster left very quickly, don't waste time!"
