Online game: Hanging out in the beauty studio

Facing the question from the tree man boss, Li Qianfan now looked like the last words of the good guy in "Werewolf" when he was eliminated.

His tone was extremely sincere, not only was his reasoning very sufficient, but even his logic chain was very complete.

So much so that after hearing his words, the tree man boss fell into silence.

This was actually Li Qianfan "handing in the task".

After all...

In a virtual online game, it is not enough to just complete the task. Players also have to hand in the task to the NPC who issued the task, and then they can receive the relevant follow-up tasks or segment rewards.

The hardcore mode focuses on the word "immersion", so the way to hand in tasks is also very different from traditional online games.

Immersive experience, coupled with immersive communication, can make players subconsciously ignore their player identity and devote themselves to the extremely realistic game world in front of them.

Similar links are very familiar to Li Qianfan, so even the way he answered questions also adopted the top process template shared by the big guys in the forum in his previous life.

According to the words made by the boss, if he accidentally makes the NPC happy, he might get extra rewards.

You know...

This is an intelligent BOSS.

In terms of IQ and EQ, they are definitely not inferior to humans. The only difference is how much authority the system gives them.

Each intelligent NPC has its own personality and character. If they like a player very much, they may even increase or reduce the task rewards that should be given to the player within their authority.

And this is the fundamental reason why Li Qianfan looks so well-behaved.

If you can get rich rewards just by talking, who would be willing to go to the trouble of opening up the BOSS?

In Li Qianfan's opinion...

The treeman BOSS in front of him should not be his enemy at all, but his friend.

And to treat friends, you naturally have to use an extremely sincere attitude to influence it...

It is based on this idea that compared with those "ordinary players" who are still confused outside, Li Qianfan asks himself that his performance is not bad.

Although I dare not give myself a full score, it should be at least above 90 points, right?

So, after describing his mental journey in great detail, Li Qianfan looked at the tree man BOSS in front of him with expectation.

He was looking forward to the BOSS bringing him different surprises.

But something was beyond Li Qianfan's expectation...

After his voice fell for a long time, several seconds later, the tree man BOSS in front of him seemed to have just woken up and slowly said:

"You are really smart. There are so many "players" in the field, and you are the only one who solved all the puzzles and successfully stood in front of me..."

Li Qianfan was a little proud.

So much so that after hearing the words of the tree man, he subconsciously wanted to be modest.

It was not until the next second that he suddenly extracted the key words in the tree man's words, and turned to look at the tree man in front of him with a shocked face-

"What did you say? Player?!!"

Don't forget, this is a game that focuses on immersion.

But now, the word "player" clearly appeared in the mouth of the tree man BOSS.

How could Li Qianfan not be shocked by this? !

Do you understand the importance of the word "immersion"? !

This feeling is like when playing a secret room escape, the NPC who plays the ghost suddenly takes off the mask, and then sincerely comforts the player and says: "Be good, don't be afraid, I am a real person, I won't scare you, that's the exit... Come on, I'll take you out."

In this case, even the most timid players will be instantly out of the game because of the NPC's unprofessionalism, right?

The secret room escape without the sense of substitution is essentially a surprise attack horror game.

This is also the fundamental reason why many people are not afraid of the secret room at all.

Because they know that all this is fake, and because of the lack of sense of substitution, the dark and terrifying atmosphere in the secret room can't affect them at all.

Whether it is a game, a movie, or a novel, the most taboo is the word "out of the game".

Therefore, when he first heard the word "player", even the knowledgeable Li Qianfan couldn't help but change his expression slightly.

What's going on?

The NPC broke the fourth wall and jumped out of the field to talk directly to the player?

If the boss knew about this, wouldn't he be fined a month's salary? !

Although he didn't know what the system was doing, Li Qianfan reacted immediately after a brief loss of consciousness, and then he asked a soul-searching question directly-

"I am a player, then what are you?"

It has to be said that LiQianfan's reaction was indeed very quick.

So much so that when the treeman BOSS heard his question, his wrinkled and shriveled bark face suddenly showed a very vivid expression called "appreciation".

"You are really smart. You can grasp the key points in a few words in an instant. It seems that you can get to this point not by luck..."

As if he was sighing, the tree man BOSS said this slowly, then paused for a short time, and then continued:

"As for me... Simply put, you can think of me as the system's built-in antivirus software."

After hearing what the tree man said, Li Qianfan couldn't help but widen his eyes and couldn't help muttering:

"Antivirus software?! Isn't it said that the host of "Heart of Condemnation" is the most advanced supercomputer in the world? Such a powerful supercomputer still needs built-in antivirus software? What kind of virus is so powerful?"

Looking at Li Qianfan who was confused, the tree man smiled slightly, and then responded lightly: "It's just a fairly vivid example... After all, the [derivative] born from "data redundancy" is essentially no different from a virus..."

Li Qianfan couldn't understand it at all.

I was just doing a task, why did it suddenly get to reality?

He didn't know much about computers, let alone the professional vocabulary used by tree people.

Therefore, after listening to the tree man's words in confusion, Li Qianfan asked carefully:

"So... is there anything I can do for you?"

This is the universal rhetoric that players use when accepting tasks from NPCs.

But obviously, this set of words failed at this moment.

It can be seen that the tree man BOSS was quite dissatisfied with Li Qianfan's slightly perfunctory answer, so it paused for a while and then asked back:

"Shouldn't you ask me what the virus is that I want to kill first?"

This is a very obvious guiding rhetoric.

Once the NPC says the guiding rhetoric, it means that the player's performance is somewhat unsatisfactory and basically has no chance of getting the hidden reward.

As a 'senior player', Li Qianfan had seen too many similar scenes in his previous life, so after being briefly prompted by the treeman BOSS, he suddenly got the key point as if he had suddenly realized it -

"I understand..."

"You said you are an antivirus software, so what you want to kill is obviously the [derivative] you just mentioned..."

"So... what exactly is a derivative?!"
