The Devil's Coming [Quick Transmigration]

"Do you know Situ Heng?"

When he heard this familiar question, the shadows of the red-clothed boy and the white tiger had already appeared in his eyes at the same time.

The player who met him head-on looked at the other party's face and tentatively said: "Well, if the hero wants to find someone, I can help..."

"——So you don't know him."

The boy nodded gently and interrupted him, then waved his sleeves, and there seemed to be a breeze blowing on his face.

The weak, pitiful and helpless player only felt a dark in front of his eyes, and suddenly lost consciousness.

[You have been killed by NPC? ? ? 】

The player who had just been online for less than five minutes, died.

"I knock!" Lying on the bed with a helmet, looking at the black screen in front of him, the player cursed inwardly, "Shouldn't I call him the hero? Do you want me to call him the devil directly?"

He couldn't help cursing and muttering.

Before going online, he had already known from the forum that there was an NPC in Jinming City who was killing people. He was still hoping for the best, thinking that he might not be so lucky to run into the other party. Even if he ran into him, he might not be killed. Maybe he could gain the NPC's favor and unlock a special plot.

And now, this is the result of his luck.

Waiting for the time to revive and unable to go online again, the player had to lie on the bed and think about how to break the situation.

As an NPC who was born near Jinming City at the beginning, and whose daily activities and interpersonal network are mainly in Jinming City, he is certainly unwilling to leave Jinming City. Otherwise, wouldn't everything he had worked hard to do tasks to brush the favorability before be directly ruined?

But hiding and waiting for the mysterious NPC to leave before going online again is not a solution. Who knows how long it will take? Every day of delay will drag down his game progress.

"...What should I do?"

At this moment, there are many players who are equally confused.

Dingzhou is a state ranked high among the nine states. As one of the most prosperous cities in Dingzhou, at least 300 of the 6,000 players in the first two beta tests settled around Jinming City. Among the 10,000 new players in the third beta test, many chose the area where Jinming City is located. The number of players is roughly ** hundred.

Jinming City is not peaceful. Players will be killed by mysterious NPCs at any time when they go online. How can they play the game normally?

Therefore, how to avoid being killed by mysterious NPCs and restore normal game experience is the top priority in the eyes of this group of players now-and if they can further reveal the reason why the mysterious NPC is killing, or even open up hidden plots and get special opportunities, it would be even better.

As more and more players die offline, after sharing their own death experiences, they really found the key elements:

First of all, this mysterious NPC does not kill people without warning every time. Sometimes he will ask a question before killing, that is, "Do you know Situ Heng?" Everyone generally believes that this is the key clue to open a special plot.

But so far, no one has found the corresponding key.

If you answer that you don't know him, you will be out of the game. If you answer that you know him, the mysterious MPC seems to have a way to distinguish truth from lies, and can see through the player's lies at a glance, but you will still be out of the game. As for other answers that try to trick or delay time, they will be attributed to "not knowing Situ Heng" by the other party, and they will still be out of the game.

It seems that the only way to break the deadlock is to find the so-called Situ Heng, and any other excuses will lead to death.

After discovering this, many players began to ask around in the game about the game NPC named "Situ Heng".

Based on this name and the age and appearance of the mysterious NPC, they suspected that the so-called Situ Heng was a scumbag NPC in Jinming City who abandoned his wife and children. Now this is a play where the grown-up child comes to Jinming City to find his scumbag father. Or, it is a play where the mysterious NPC was killed and became an orphan, and after many years, he learned a powerful skill and came thousands of miles to seek revenge... In short, the classic routines in various martial arts fantasy novels have been turned out by the players and applied to the two.

No one thought that "Situ Heng" might be a player.

——Since it is a special plot in the game, it is of course the grievances between NPPC. After years of entanglement, there may be many secret past events. After the players participate, they will crack them one by one, find the truth, and finally choose a camp to understand everything. Isn't this a standard game?

With this idea, a wave of players who are interested in special plots began to look for the whereabouts of NPC Situ Heng.

In addition to the clue of Situ Heng, some players also found that the behavior pattern of the mysterious NPC began to change.

At first, he just killed players when he met them. Later, he would ask some people if they knew Situ Heng, and then kill them after asking. Now, he no longer kills players himself, but commands the big tiger to rush up and fight with players.

The level of this tiger is not high. After being identified by high-level players, its strength is roughly equivalent to that of a warrior of the ninth level of the acquired realm. But under the command of the mysterious NPC, even the players of the innate realm could not escape the tiger's mouth and became the tiger's food.

In other words, the players have unlocked a new way to die.

The original way of dying was changed from "instant death by encountering a mysterious NPC" to "extremely fighting a tiger and dying in its mouth". When they were bitten to death by the tiger, the mysterious NPC was squatting beside them and watching with relish... How could this be tolerated!

But this was not the end.

Soon, a new batch of dead players brought a new way of death to everyone - they actually killed each other.

And the culprit who caught them together, forced the players to kill each other, and watched the show calmly on the side, in their eyes, was undoubtedly an extremely hateful tax evader!

For a time, the forum was full of players' complaints.

Wandering around Jinming City, randomly grabbing a few lucky players, routinely asking them if they knew Situ Heng, after getting a negative answer, Su Ying threw the people in front of him and cheerfully reminded: "According to the convention, choose one of the three, and the last survivor can survive. Okay, please start your performance!"

Of course, the players didn't want to succumb, but their resistance would only be easily suppressed, and the death penalty in this game was very heavy - not only was there a long resurrection CD, but also dropped extremely precious game experience and currency.

They had to do what Su Ying said honestly.

At least there was still a lucky person who avoided the death penalty. Instead of being directly wiped out by this mysterious and terrifying NPC.

They could only curse in their hearts: "Damn tax evader!"

It's not their fault for such a misunderstanding, it's just that anyone who sees Su Ying's current expression will misunderstand-

The young man's eyebrows were relaxed, his eyes were surprisingly bright, and his eyes were fixed on the players who were killing each other without blinking. The arc of his lips was lively and brisk that no one could imitate. It was as if he was appreciating some peerless masterpiece.

In fact, Su Ying was looking at something that the players could not see-what he saw in his eyes was the fluctuation of the law, the flow of energy, and the gap between the two worlds.

All the behaviors that players called him a tax evader were essentially to explore the secrets of the two worlds.

Killing players indiscriminately was because he was interested in the life force that overflowed when the players were killed;

Later, letting the white tiger take action was, on the one hand, to train and improve the strength of this big tiger, and on the other hand, to see the effect of life force on the creatures of this world, and to what extent the white tiger could be strengthened if it was constantly fed with the life force of the players;

And now, letting the players kill each other, of course, is to see if players can absorb each other's life force!

After many attempts, the result is obvious——

"Players killing players, is there really no profit?"

After playing happily with the players for most of the day, Su Ying has almost figured out the upgrade mechanism of this game.

The energy he named life force should be the basis for players to upgrade, which is the so-called game experience.

When a player kills an NPC, he will absorb 1/10 of the NPC's life force, which is converted into terms that players can understand, and will probably be prompted as game experience +1+1+1. When experience accumulates to a certain level, the cultivation level will naturally improve.

And the moment the player is killed by the NPC, most of the life force will return to another world along the channel connected to this world, and a small part of the life force will dissipate in this world. In the eyes of the players, it is probably a drop in level, or a decrease in cultivation. According to Su Ying's experience of killing so many players, normally, one level will be dropped every time they die.

——The premise is that Su Ying did not pluck all their life force along the channel and intercept all of it.

This game upgrade mechanism is destined that most players will not be peaceful and friendly ascetics.

In addition, normal cultivation in this world should also improve cultivation. But compared to killing to gain experience points to improve cultivation, hard work to improve cultivation efficiency is definitely much slower!

——Isn’t the biggest advantage of players compared to the natives of this world that they have a way to improve their cultivation by gaining experience points?

The natives have worked hard for several years to practice, and players can catch up by killing more monsters. And players who kill monsters are probably considered lawful players, and those in the evil camp directly kill NPCs.

After all, the amount of experience points dropped by killing does not depend on the strength of the player, but on the life force possessed by the NPC itself. Whether it is killing monsters or NPCs, 1/10 of the life force is dropped each time, but humans, as intelligent creatures, have more life force than monsters.

Even if players can't observe the existence of life force like Su Ying, and don't understand that the essence of experience points comes from the life force of the killed, but the difference in experience points dropped by killing NPCs and killing monsters is impossible for players with rich game experience to fail to discover, and it is obvious that the former is more abundant.

In this way, Yuan Feibai can guess why so many players, including Tiandao League, fought in all directions in Kyushu in his memory.

——The upgrade mechanism of this game encourages players to fight with NPCs and plunder their life force. Once the players discover the secret of the upgrade mechanism and taste the shortcut to increase experience value, they will know what to do.

——After all, it is a game, and most people do not have the same high moral requirements as in the real world.

In this case, there is only one question now: Is the existence behind the creation of this game intentional?

What is the purpose of encouraging those players to kill the NPCs of this world and seize their life force in the form of games? What benefits can this bring to Him?

Looking at the figures of players hanging up and going offline one after another, Su Ying's eyes seemed to penetrate the two-world channel connecting them behind them, and vaguely glimpsed the truth behind the game.
