Build a game empire from scratch

Mentioning the ["Chang'an" Invitation Letter] in their hands, these players felt angry.

The other players made a wish and already got the benefits in their hands.

Some people made a wish to become [Honorary Player], but after being told by Shenlong that it was beyond their ability, they settled for the next best thing and chose [Money].

Although the value of the virtual currency of the pure metropolis is not high, making a wish can give the player a huge sum at a time, which is worth half a month's income from robbing the bank.

This can effectively accelerate the progress of hitting the Metropolis [Golden Key], and it is also considered another way.

But if it is not for the impact of [Golden Key], then virtual currency is really the worst option, even if it is the virtual currency of Night City that is always in short supply.

Whoever chooses this will be wronged.

After all, as long as you are willing to spend time with virtual currency, you can always get it.

But there is only one chance to make a wish.

If it wasn't for opening more slots in [Armment Box] earlier, there wouldn't be many candidates for "Diamond Achievement Progress".

More players wished for something that they would never get under normal circumstances, such as:

[Bringing Helen back from the dead]

[Plastic surgery]

[increase]

[better figure]

[Keeping a tiger at home]

[NPC follow me home]

...

As long as you control the scale well, wishes can really come true.

However, because of the hidden limitations of [merit value] and [intimacy value], it may not always be successful if you want NPC to go home with you.

If the [merit value] is too low and you are classified as [evil], then the NPC will definitely not go home with you.

If the [merit value] is sufficient and the alignment is [good], enter the [intimacy value] judgment process.

Only when the intimacy between the player and the wish target is sufficient, can the NPC be brought home.

Of course, taking it home doesn't mean that you can do something you like, but it's similar to Kang Na - they also have their own things.

Those who worked in Metropolis or Night City before will continue to work in the future, and will return to the player's home after get off work.

In a way, it's more like a roommate relationship than a cohabitation relationship.

If you want to be more intimate, you can only continue to increase the [Intimacy Value].

In this regard, there is another outrageous thing: There are actually a lot of players who wish to let the young lady from the mysterious store in Night City go home with them.

This greatly exceeded Lin You's imagination.

Tang Mingyue made a wish, hoping that the newly appeared [Miss Dongmei] in Night City would go home with him.

This Lin You can still understand.

After all, Tang Mingyue's XP is quite special. This Miss Dongmei is Lin You's "beautiful girl with mechanical arm" who joined Night City at his request after returning from Chang'an.

It is not incomprehensible to want to take it home and feel the "extreme beauty of the collision between the body and the machine" every day.

But those sexy hunks and ladies who are there every day to receive customers and provide -- let's be honest, provide edge services are also very popular.

This really made Lin You feel the colorfulness of the world, and once again expressed his heartfelt emotion:

Human XP is really free.

Even if the players take home NPCs from their personal game worlds, theoretically they only receive the players themselves—unless someone invites friends to come to their own world for "big health care".

...

As for those who do not pass the [merit value] and are stuck in the first ring, they can only give up this wish and find ways to do some good deeds to add merit.

Or, in a simpler way -

Make a wish to Shenlong: [give me merit]!

Or, find friends to cooperate and share cohabitation.

The specific operation method is:

A made a wish to Shenlong: [Give merit to my friend B! ]

B made another wish to Shenlong: [Let XXX go home with me! ]

Then A and B realize cohabitation through the operation of [sex-changing potion] and [couple contract].

In this way, you can also live with NPCs to achieve a perfect "three-person cohabitation" relationship.

This operation is completely feasible in theory, and it is true that some neuropathy did it for fun.

There is only one difficulty: find a friend whose aesthetics and three views are highly consistent with your own, and who likes the same NPC...or a rival?

...

...

In short, the players who wished have more or less received actual benefits.

Only players who made a wish to play "Chang'an" in advance felt that they had become a big wronged species, even more wronged than Dou E.

The more popular "Pokemon" is, the happier players are running around the world to catch spirit beasts, and the more they feel that they are wronged.

The voice of "Crying for Injustice on the Internet" is also getting louder and louder. When the topic of [Kunpeng Feiyue Daxia] becomes popular and hits the hot search, "Crying for Injustice on the Internet" also ushered in its climax, completely occupying the account comment area of ​​Lin You and Yunmeng .

But Lin You insisted on waiting for another day, until he went to work on Monday, before he stood up and responded to this batch of grievances... these impatient players.

He didn't explain too much, but directly threw a vote——

"About the "Chang'an" invitation letter, I hope:

1. Experience the game as early as possible, and it is acceptable to be incomplete temporarily.

Second, it is more important to play the complete game, and it is understandable to be late.

Three, skip

——

Seeing this vote, as expected, the first reaction of the players was not to vote, but to complain wildly [Option 3]:

“What the hell is [skip]??”

"Abstain? Is this option serious?"

"Isn't someone really voting for this?"

...

But as soon as the words fell, [skip] got hundreds of votes.

[Option 1] Soaring rapidly, [Option 2] and [Option 3] Although the rising speed is slightly slower, they are quite stable.

The vote was posted on the Yunmeng Forum, and Lin You set up a threshold, only players who actually hold the invitation letter can participate in the vote.

That is to say, someone really had the invitation letter of "Chang'an" in exchange for [Wish], but chose [skip].

A large group of players became anxious in an instant:

"Calm down!"

"This thing is a distraction item. Lin You has sinister intentions, so don't fall for it!"

"How come there are still candidates? The crime is heinous! The crime is heinous!"

"Have you forgotten the lesson of quadruple shit smell?"

"Don't make a mess! Don't make a mess! A lesson from the past, a lesson from the past!!"

...

[skip] was crazily boycotted by a large number of players. While admonishing everyone not to fall for Lin You's evil tricks, they denounced Lin You for not being a good person.

But this time it really wasn't that Lin You was wrong.

Although he often has bad tastes, this [skip] has been carefully considered.

Because he is very clear: at any time, the loudness of the voice cannot be equated with the real "public opinion".

Some people are eager to enter "Chang'an", but some people must not be so anxious, and some people think that whatever is fine.

"Anything is fine" does not mean that there is no idea, but that Yunmeng and Lin You believe that Yunmeng officials will think more than players and do things more safely.

So instead of voting to disrupt Yunmeng's original arrangement, it is better to vote for [skip].

*

According to Yunmeng's statistics, there are 1,283,376 players who hold "Chang'an" invitation letters.

It looks like a lot, and it can be worth the total sales of new games of many game companies.

But for Yunmeng, this number is nothing special.

The voting took place very quickly. Lin You started voting in the morning, and the voting ended before 3:00 pm.

Including hundreds of thousands of overseas players with invitation letters, they also completed their voting in time.

As for the results, the impatient players had the upper hand in the end, but the gap was surprisingly small:

[Option 1]: Experience the game as early as possible, and it is acceptable to be incomplete temporarily. ---43%

[Option 2]: It is more important to play the complete game, and it is understandable to be late. ---38%

[Option 3]: skip —— 19%

Although this result greatly exceeded the expectations of impatient players, but fortunately, the result was as they wished.

As always, Lin You kept his word, and immediately stood up and promised: "The closed test will be here soon! Stay tuned!"

"Yeah!!" The players cheered.

Even though some players were worried that taking it out for testing so soon would affect the quality and integrity of the game, but because of their trust in Lin You and Yunmeng, they did not pour cold water at this time, but looked forward to this [closed test] together— —

"Lin You said that it will be soon, then next week at the latest, we will definitely be able to play!"

"Who do you look down on? This weekend at the latest!"

"Stop arguing, I'll pick a day: tomorrow!"

...

Yunmeng's game development speed has always been astonishing, and with Lin You's assurance, everyone is naturally very optimistic and believes that they will be able to play within a few days.

But their predictions are still too conservative——

Just two hours later, before Yunmeng got off work, Lin You posted the news again:

["Chang'an" closed beta test is now open! Activate the invitation to join this test. ]

"???"

No matter which option the players voted for, they were stunned by Lin You's speed.

——I know that you are very fast, but it’s too fast to come to this point, isn’t it a little too outrageous? ?
