Players' NPC boss

Whether there is a main plot in "Golden Rock" has always been open to debate. After all, this is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game, and the so-called main line is generally prepared for single-player games.

There is no way around this. The main line is the core of the story of the entire game. Once it is advanced, it will be permanently advanced. Even with the end of the main line, the entire game will be cleared.

In a game with extreme freedom like "Golden Rock", where players will explore and contact with NPCs and even monsters will generate tasks, the existence of the main world line has been infinitely weakened, leaving only the [world] that will cause changes in the world pattern. Task】.

So when the title [Shocked, Godlock is suspected of having a main quest] appeared, basically everyone who saw it would think it was a marketing account, and were ready to criticize it unceremoniously.

But the publisher is the well-known strategy guild [Fairy Kingdom], who has completed several world-class tasks and is a true cutting-edge figure in the gaming world, and most of the published content is very rigorous.

After carefully clicking on the relevant column and reading, the reaction of almost everyone who read it was "Shocked!" There is actually a main plot! 】

Facts have proved that [Fairy Country] is not proficient in journalism, they just wrote their reactions truthfully.

[Searching for the twelve zodiac signs on the earth, and then transforming the geocentric theory into the heliocentric theory] is the main mission compiled by [Fairy Kingdom]. This is no longer about changing the world structure, but a change that directly changes the world's basic structure. It is enough to be called [the main mission] 】 Two words.

However, many human spirits are also keenly aware of the fishiness in it. It is not that what [Fairy Country] said is half-truth or half-false, but that it is incomplete. There was no explanation of the cause of the matter. They just mentioned the [Typhon Crusade] not long ago. How they discovered this mission was not mentioned at all.

What [Fairy Country] conceals is probably the most precious resource in the entire game - the extremely high level of trust with a very important NPC.

As we all know, "Godlock" has a subversive difference from other games, and that is the attitude of NPCs towards players.

In orthodox games, almost all NPCs will have an exclamation mark on their foreheads, waiting for players to ask and trigger tasks. But the NPCs in "Godlock" are different. They are like normal people, keeping a distance from strangers, and will not issue tasks even if the player asks.

For example, in the orthodox game [My daughter is sick and needs some kind of herbal medicine. Can you help me find it in the woods? ], or [Can you send me a letter], tasks like this are rare and common.

But normally, no one would entrust these matters to a group of strangers, even people from another world wearing only loincloths. They will give priority to people they are familiar with, such as... other NPCs.

This is natural, but also a very scary thing. It means that if the player does not cultivate trust with the NPC, then the NPC will internally consume tasks and complete some extremely important tasks by itself.

Some people even joked that if the players, as strangers, kept acting tyrannically and misbehaving, then the NPC might complete all the world tasks without saying a word. Of course, some people are dismissive of this. After all, except for a few NPCs, the level of players is much higher than that of NPCs.

But [Trustability] is indeed an extremely important hidden value. When it is high, the NPC will even actively search for information and provide it to the player. If the NPC is stronger, he will lead the player all the way to the end.

Although your own personal play experience is very important, who doesn’t want to feel the joy of being taken flying by your dad once in a while?

It is almost certain that [Fairy Country] will have one or even several important NPCs, but the question is who...

Maybe Black Beast Knight Blaze.

The difficulty of this problem is 1+1=? Same, after all, Black Beast Knight Blaze is very popular and is known as the "easiest/most difficult COS" character.

After all, until now, no facial modeling of Blaze has been revealed on the Internet. He only needs to wear that heavy armor and hold a big sword.

If the COS of Black Beast Knight Blaze appears at the comic exhibition, most game chefs will react with extremely skilled three-stage rolls to prove how experienced players they are.

Unfortunately, cultivating trust with NPCs is something that cannot be forced. After all, these NPCs are not dull robots. Players can clearly see what kind of thoughts they have when approaching.

Most people can only sigh with regret and enjoy the world more deeply and immersedly.

Returning to the topic, many human elves are keenly aware of what is hidden behind the main mission of the world revealed in [Fairy Kingdom]. The source of suspicion stems from [necessity].

Finding all twelve beasts on the entire game map is not an easy task, but players will never give up on the challenge because it is not simple, difficult, or cumbersome.

The only reasonable explanation is that [Fairy Kingdom] feels that the sooner this task is completed, the better, and it is best to activate all players.

This is a question worth considering.

…

"It seems that the hidden main thread set up has been found." After Penguin finished surfing the Internet at high speed, he subconsciously reported back to the empty workspace.

"Ah, I almost forgot."

Penguin patted his forehead. The seniors were "divided" in the accident of "Typhon's Crusade" not long ago.

Glasses, who was under great psychological pressure and very fragile, went to the small animal park to heal himself in the furry world. Others went to search for the legendary woman and had a dispute over what means to use.

The people led by Kitchenware thought that radical means should be used, such as calling the police, while the rest thought that the radicals were too conservative and should directly offer a reward, and the amount should be high enough to make the woman's heart beat.

Penguin thought... You can't skip work just because you are a senior executive!

Are you kidding me? All the work is thrown to an intern?

Penguin sighed hard and flipped through the lively web pages.

Generally speaking, there will be no problems with "Godlock" itself, because all the so-called problems that occur are actually reasonable and can be explained. Even if the whole world suddenly exploded, it must be because some conditions have been met.

[Twelve Beasts] is a major event that is no less than the explosion of the world, but it is not a bad thing. On the contrary, it is a serious entry threshold to the next stage.

But therein lies the problem. He doesn't think some players will honestly hand over the [Twelve Beasts] they have obtained to complete the ceremony to enter the second stage.

Penguin tapped the table with his fingers, gritted his teeth, and finally mustered up the courage to create a new folder.

[First World Championship]

[Official competition to determine the strongest player. Players with the Twelve Beasts can directly enter the top 32. ]

The champion reward has not yet been determined, but it is enough to lure out players with the [Twelve Beasts].
