Something's wrong with my undead

"What do you mean?" Mr. Sa asked, "Isn't that a well-written plot?"

Catching Sheep: "Theoretically, there is no plot in this game that cannot be changed. As mentioned in the article "Study on the Possibility of Preservation and Construction Plans for Neutral War Zones", the emergence of scorching mountainous areas is actually a lose-lose situation."

Mr. Sa was puzzled: "Why is it a lose-lose situation? Isn't it normal for players to leave the novice village after reaching a certain level? After all, we have nothing to lose..."

Teacher Xia: “You haven’t read that article, so it’s more troublesome to explain this, but I’m asking you this.

"If the local reputation you accumulated at a low level is not destroyed or 'obsolete', but will continue to appreciate as you become stronger, is this considered a win?"

"Of course this is a win!"

Teacher Xia: "Yes, that article gave this example: What would happen if the McCalla Mountains were defended by players and used as a base for construction? Compare it to the life we ​​lived later, don't get too involved. Reality, take on the role of the game and think about it."

Mr. Sa fell into deep thought.

After opening the server, he worked as a trainee hunter and gained the reputation of the lord's mansion for more than half a month.

Then the Holy Light fell from the sky, and the mountains of Mekara burned into a scorching valley.

Subsequently, rescue teams from various countries arrived, and a group of hunter players who shared the same fate were recruited by Cuiyeting from the Whispering Forest.

They started from the most basic tasks of standing guard, patrolling, and delivering messages, and were later reorganized and sent to the Blight Scar to fight against the corrupted monsters.

From the player's perspective, it's nothing more than changing places to grind monsters, level up, and complete tasks.

But if the NPC perspective is brought in, wouldn't it be a matter of taking human lives?

It seems really miserable.

"But that's too far-fetched, isn't it? Isn't this parallel time and space?" he asked doubtfully.

"No, it's based on Nash equilibrium."

Zhuoyang said: "Sane people will choose the optimal solution, but doing the optimal solution may lead to a lose-lose situation.

"For example, this is the situation you are seeing. From the perspective of the results, do you think Heine's choice is reasonable?"

Mr. Sa immediately agreed: "This is too reasonable. The reputation of the manor and the lord's mansion has been wiped out, and he actually made friends with the tail king. Now he can even walk into the manor to get clues about the withered bow."

"But what if we go back to the beginning and think about it from the player's perspective?"

"This……"

Mr. Sa was silent.

As a level four paladin, none of the surrounding NPCs will take action.

Their only ally is a necromancer without his blood golem...

The most reasonable choice is of course not to take action.

Catching Sheep: "It seems that you have also thought about it. From our perspective, this battle should not happen at all. First of all, there is no chance of winning, and secondly, there is no benefit in winning. Osewell's body is there, who dares Pick up?

"Actually, the group of vassals thought the same way. They all had their own trade-offs. From a rational point of view, the best solution would be to get closer to the foreign races and turn to the Four Kingdoms. The result would be to sit back and watch the mountainous area be destroyed, and everything would be over.

"As for the battle at the launch of the server, although I haven't experienced it, I am also a player and know how to choose. Now looking at Heine's many choices, players can definitely do better than him, but what is the result? Players simply don't He made this choice, which ultimately led to the birth of the Scorching Mountainous Area."

Mr. Sa sighed.

"Sigh... Now that I think about it, what you said is really right.

"Actually, clues were discovered about the energy storage well on the farm the next day. Players in the mine healed faster and monsters also lost blood on their own. So everyone swarmed over and brought in blood beasts and rotten corpses to kill them. .

"Later, this matter alarmed the Lord's Mansion, and they sent people to investigate. As a result, the NPC was blocked by the players, and then nothing happened. Now that I think about it, it was probably because Donald was obstructing it.

"There are also career choices... You also said that NPCs are leaning towards the Four Kingdoms. Who can be more thorough than the players? After all, there are many tasks and generous rewards there. Who cares about the three melons and two dates in Ebony Town? Think carefully about this newbie The village was really destroyed in our hands."

Zhuoyang said quickly: "That won't bother Mr. Sa. Just reflect on it a little. Don't use it to judge yourself. It's just a game."

"Oh, but not for me."

Mr. Sa smiled bitterly.

I've never seen him so emotional before, but once he started, he couldn't stop.

"It would be okay if I didn't know, but now that I know it, it's... quite unpleasant.

“I have a strong sense of immersion in this game, and I even defended the lord when many people scolded him.

"Later, when I was homeless, I was taken in by Cuiyeting. I was so moved at the time. I was like a spiritual night elf. Well, I vowed to protect this family...

"Although it was sent later, you know this...this feeling of 'as long as the person is still around'?"

The two of them echoed: "I understand, I understand, we understand Mr. Sa very well."

Mr. Sa couldn't help laughing and scolding: "You guys know better...forget it, as long as Heine is awesome, that's it. He is worthy of being my big brother!"

Teacher Xia: "What are you talking about? Brother Yang is obviously awesome! Heine? He is just a reckless man! Can he trample on offerings? Can he hit T?"

Zhu Sheep: "Ah, yes, yes..."

...

Heine unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth as he listened to the three people's words.

My insistence on taking the initiative has had the desired effect.

Like themselves, they began to think about issues from a standpoint.

This means they are also beginning to engage with the world.

But it also made him more curious about the article.

……

George soon returned, first examined Osewell's body, and then embraced Heine with excitement on his face.

Then, he walked towards the group of worried people.

After the simple conversation, George's face quickly turned from sunny to gloomy, and even became furious.

But this time he didn't jump or roar, but suppressed his anger.

An assassination, a betrayal, and being pointed in the face and insulted.

Coupled with the current group of people's optimism and arrogance.

He is growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

He has understood the situation of his father, his grandfather, and many others.

"I will, everyone."

George took a deep breath and replied calmly:

“I will keep the remains of the Knight of Osewell safe until the men of the Eternal Dawn come.

"I will write a letter of apology to Eternal Dawn and clarify that you had nothing to do with this matter and that I acted independently.

"If your business and industry are affected, I will bear all losses."

"Time will prove your choice is wise."

The old mage concluded this while looking towards Heine.

"As for this..."

"I understand that I should imprison him to await the disposal of the Eternal Dawn, right, Master Naga?"

George asked with a smile on his face.

Naga's expression froze, and then he gave up the idea.

"No, I just feel that you have such loyal retainers. It's really gratifying."

……

When it got dark, the farce finally came to an end.

In order to prepare for the Mercy Day tomorrow, many people were busy until late at night.

When Heine was called to the study by the lord, the entire lord's mansion was lit up.

George seemed to have drank a lot, and his face looked drunk, but his eyes were calm.

As soon as he entered the door, he said loudly:

"You did a great job today, Heine. I'm very, very, very satisfied with you!"

"That's my job."

"Don't say those polite words, Heine. Although we have known each other for a short time, I know that we are the same kind of people."

He stared at Heine with burning eyes.

"Do you remember that day, you told me about the haunted farm...

"Actually, you have known about the activities of the Golden People for a long time and deliberately asked me to investigate there, right?"

Heine was shocked.

Fortunately he didn't bring any skeletons with him.

George saw through what those three guys hadn't.

When he didn't answer, George smiled:

"I don't blame you, Heine. Not only do I not blame you, I also want to thank you!

"It was you who helped me tear off the hypocritical face of Eternal Dawn and drive away Donald!"

George suddenly stood up unsteadily.

He patted the corner of the huge portrait behind him hard, and the area immediately sunk.

A heavy mechanism sounded, and a door appeared in the corner.

George turned back to look at Heine, with a kind of fanaticism in his eyes:

"Follow me, my ally, it's time to reveal our greatest secret to you!"
