Conquering alien worlds starts from the game

In order to ensure the "game characters" of the players in the third test, Yang Qiu almost emptied several ruins of ancient battlefields that had been discovered in the Tarantan wasteland.

It is a coincidence that the remains of the dead who died in the battle of the gods will turn into zombies, and the right time and place are indispensable; the skeleton frame is much better, as there are enough skeletons to use if you can find the ruins.

What's more troublesome is to install miniature cameras in these [-] skeleton racks (screenshots and video recording functions needed by players still have to be solved by physical methods), install brand anchors-in the few months since the completion of the Mage Tower, Yang Qiu spends almost all of his free time doing this job.

Therefore, the game "Outsider World" is doomed to be impossible to have a public beta day... One is that the skeletons used by players are limited, and the other is that the skulls are regularly replaced (useful years & damaged during the game) inside the skulls. The miniature camera is enough for Yang Qiu to toss.

The opening of the third test is not only exciting for new players, but also for old players. After the Adler slave trader... the player's internal equipment holdings have been saturated.

At that time, Pan Xi's white board dagger was able to attract players to actively auction it, but now this dagger has been transferred to a salted fish player in life for cutting herbs, and it will never return to its former glory...

The high-level NPCs in Exile Town, such as Manan the Butcher and Anthony the Tailor, all have the "function" to recycle the player's equipment, but the price obviously does not meet the expectations of the players - let alone the excellent equipment with enchanting entries , as long as the whiteboard equipment can still be sold, the player will not consider losing the NPC.

For example, Boss Orange Cat, a business player who regards making money as a pleasure, has hoarded a lot of whiteboards since the third test is about to start, and is waiting for the newbies to take over...

Half an hour before the third test players entered the arena, the boss of the orange cat temporarily left his knight collar and appeared at the teleportation point in the town of exile with a large backpack on his shoulder.

The goblin players (management stream players) gathered near the intersection saw the owner of Orange Cat, and booed one after another: "No, Orange Cat, you are the boss and you are still fighting us for business?"

"The majestic knight lord, earn more money than newbies"

"Doing business on the basis of ability, what is grabbing?" The owner of Orange Cat replied with a smile, "Don't worry, everyone, I don't think it's bad luck!"

These goblin players happily set up booths in the open space dozens of meters away from the birth point, reworked whiteboard steel knives N times, mended novice suits, "fashion" seized from NPCs, etc. Put it all over the place.

As soon as Yang Ying came here in the morning, she saw the owner of the orange cat squatting outside the teleportation point and set up a stall. She went over to chat for a few words, and then took out the equipment she didn't need for the time being and asked the orange cat to sell it for her... She is a half The professional goldsmiths still have a lot of good stuff.

"Miss Ying won't be in the group today?" Seeing that Yang Ying was entrusted with the equipment and didn't plan to leave, and was still squatting beside him, the orange cat asked more.

"Open it, wait until it gets dark in the game." Yang Ying said, "When the newcomers come up, I'll see if I can take in a few apprentices. The master-apprentice system released yesterday is quite interesting."

In version 1.11, which was updated online yesterday, the production team opened up the master-apprentice system—although it is a bit against the law to have a master-apprentice system in a Western fantasy-style game, none of the Chinese players who are used to domestic online game routines feel that the style of painting is wrong.

This master-apprentice system is actually used by Yang Qiu to mobilize the enthusiasm of old players, so that the three testers can integrate into the environment earlier, avoid detours, and at least be able to avoid being hacked to death by high-level NPCs a few times... After a test Based on the lessons from the second test, Yang Qiu has already understood how much the player group loves to die if they are not properly guided.

It is not practical to expect old players to sacrifice their own game experience to bring newcomers. The safest way is to use rewards to motivate: bring a zero-level or level-[-] cute new player to transfer to the teacher, and you can get a lot of honor points from the undead camp .

The honor point of this undead camp is the virtual currency obtained by the structure of the magic net, which can only be used for transactions within the player - the matrix core has been replaced by the magic net from Yang Qiu's body, and there are many more tricks that can be played than before.

In order to increase the recognition of this virtual currency that does not require physical objects, Yang Qiu specially set up a projection clone of himself on the first floor of the mage tower, and opened a long-term honor store for players.

Players who hold honor points can exchange them from this honor store for the first open big blue bottle for undead, which can be used by all professional players to replenish energy bars (actually it is concentrated dark energy essence, when Yang Qiu meditated By the way) - the whole game is the only one, there is no semicolon.

Any player can discover the value of this big blue bottle that ignores professional almightiness to fill up the energy bar... This is an indispensable item for home, travel, and monster spawning tasks. When the group is wiped out, Faye knocks a bottle, and it may knock the team out of the game. Rescued from the endangered line.

In addition, Yang Qiu also added additional ways to obtain honor points: completing monster battlefield tasks (allowing players to take the initiative to train team battle cooperation), participating in large-scale battlefield tasks (increasing players' enthusiasm for participating in large-scale activities), completing world view breakthrough tasks (guaranteed Players' enthusiasm for regular tasks), red-named NPCs with a certain value for captives (players are encouraged not to kill but to catch)... can all be obtained.

Yang Ying is a person who leads a team. So far, the game has experienced countless group destructions. The nanny has no blue to save people, and the soldier has no anger to use defensive skills. This kind of thing has happened a lot. I know the value of the big blue bottle, so I will naturally think of doing it. honor points.

"It is indeed necessary to recruit a few apprentices to earn some honor points." The owner of the orange cat rubbed his chin and said, "I don't know if there are any newbies in this group who like to play goblins. If so, I will accept a few."

Yang Ying just laughed. Players who don't like business style gameplay, even if they know Boss Orange Cat's skills, it's hard to play with him.

"Hasn't Mr. Ou Hulu come? He likes solo brushing so much. Why don't he save some honor points for the big blue bottle?" Yang Ying asked.

The owner of the orange cat cheered, and said from the underworld: "If it is said that it is ten times more difficult for me to receive an apprentice than you, do you believe that it is ten times as difficult for the master Oluga to successfully receive an apprentice?"

Yang Ying didn't hold back her laughter this time...

I have to say that Ou Hulu is indeed a talented person - he is cute on the forum, but in reality he just can't get along with others.

In the time of gossip, more and more old players are online or teleported from other places, or set up stalls, or climbed to the roof and squatted, waiting to watch the "game debut" of the newcomers .

These old players who have at least experienced the grand occasion of the second test day, all of them have experience... They all kept a sufficient distance from the birth point, so as not to be overwhelmed by the army of bones.

The goblin players who set up stalls tens of meters away from the old ones even asked others whether they wanted to play against the bet after there were too many people-to bet on how many people the Mengxin who came up today would hang offline within an hour.

"This group of novices should have been in the forum for a long time, right? I don't think there are many people who are as crazy as our group." A second test player said conservatively.

"You think too much buddy, it's not like this game won't hang if you don't die. At the beginning, my brother and I didn't want to die. We just played the game dutifully, and the NPCs in the tailor shop were killed Already." Another second tester objected.

The player in the first test laughed directly: "Damn it, you guys are still calling yourself dead. Is it okay to break into other people's stores to buy and sell after dark?"

"Damn, who would have thought that the NPC would close so early!"

"I'm ignoring that you all overlooked one point. It's not a question of whether the cute new work will not die, but a question of whether the NPCs here in the town of exile can be hacked..."

"Stop arguing, place a bet, I bet at least [-] novices will die within an hour!"

"You underestimate the efficiency of high-level NPCs in killing people too much. Novices are so fragile. They die as soon as they touch them, and they can't escape even if they run. I'll bet a thousand."

"Be bold! Be bold! I bet at least [-] to die!"

"Fuck, then I'll bet five thousand!"

"Be steady, bro, let's talk about whether five thousand newbies can come in early in the morning."

Yang Ying looked at these old players who bet on the survival rate of Mengxin, and couldn't laugh or cry.

"It's time, it's time! Someone is coming!" An old player pointed to the birth point and shouted.

At exactly eight o'clock on earth time, the earth platform at the crossroads in the center of the exile town was instantly flooded with white light and bare skeletons...

Because the real world cannot allow the skeleton frame controlled by the players to "go through the mold", Yang Qiu had to limit the login speed of the players in the third test, and only allowed [-] new players' anchors to "enter the network" every minute to avoid unlucky ghosts. The situation of being squeezed to death at the birth point as soon as you go online.

Rising up from the mud ignorantly, the newcomers who saw the real scene of Novice Town in the game "Other World" for the first time were prompted by the system to swipe the screen frantically and urge them to move outside before they had time to express their emotions.

But even if Yang Qiu made preparations, there was no way to make these newcomers obedient... The fifth batch of players who were allowed to "log in" had all logged in, and the first batch of newcomers were still crowded around the platform. Spread out in time.

"Wow! It's really a hologram! It's so real!!" A newcomer just walked a few steps with thin legs, and was so excited by the real sense of control that he yelled out of control.

"Ahahaha! I'm a happy little skeleton too! Wahahahaha!" Mengxin, who had posted countless prayer posts while waiting for the lottery, waved his arms and laughed wildly towards the sky.

There were also some impatients who were squeezed to the side before they had time to get excited and yelled: "I'll move out by the outside! The blood bar has dropped, and people are going to be squeezed to death!"

"Good dogs don't get in the way! Get out of the way!"

Most people are still willing to listen to others, and many newcomers are rushing out.

It's just that the speed of this evacuation is obviously not as fast as the batches of newcomers logging in. After all, no matter whether they are sports geniuses or sports idiots, players who have just logged in have to get used to the process of manipulating the bodies of undead... Soon, the crossroads have a radius of 30 Minai was full of people, and the skeleton racks in the middle circle were all crowded, and new skeletons kept popping up on the earthen platform in the center.

"Ahahaha! Yahahaha——!"

The old players squatting on the roof and standing in the distance to watch the fun, pointing at the miserable newbies unscrupulously laughed.

The old player who bet on these newcomers will only die [-] within an hour squeezed his thigh hard: "I miscalculated, I forgot to include the situation of killing people! Boss, can the people who are squeezed to death be counted as gambling?" Johnny?"

"You're thinking of farting!" the goblin player sitting in the dealer cursed rudely.

... Yang Qiu, who lives in the town of exile, had to temporarily shut down the "login" function of Mowang, and let the newcomers who have not been able to log in wait a little longer for the "login delay". Stabilized the situation.

The [-] players in the second test brought disaster to the town of exile at that time. Although the [-] players in the third test did not log in at the same time, only less than [-] players eagerly logged in. Squeezing into the game for the first time, it instantly made the town of exile lively.

This group of newbies was indeed as guessed by the second-test players. Before coming in, they had already scoured the experience posts on the forum. Except for a few newcomers with special circumstances who were even excited about such ordinary things as seeing the world with their eyes and running with their feet, Most of the newcomers honestly follow the strategies of old players to do novice tasks.

And then... the street where the zombie NPC that distributes the novice suits is located is completely blocked...

"This is a fart!"

"Damn, I thought there would be fewer people in the morning, so I can quickly finish the novice tasks, why are you guys so idle, can you be a good cashier, go dating and go shopping, and compete with our dead house What are the games for!"

There is only one zombie NPC to issue the novice suit mission, and the mission props are also limited. If the people in front take the mission and don’t finish it quickly and return the mission props, the people behind will have to wait; this mission design is quite criticized, but this After all, it is the only welfare task in the whole game where you can get an exterior outfit by just paddling for 10 minutes...Yang Qiu didn't bother to change it.

But... Even if a round of missions can be completed in 10 minutes, there are so many players queuing up and they don't know when they will wait.

The old players squatting on the roof not only did not intend to go down to help maintain order, but pointed at the Mengxin who was fighting one by one and couldn't stand up laughing - the white board number with bare buttocks, no equipment and no skills waved thin arms and thin arms. The scene of leg PK is too funny; not to mention that many people have not adapted to controlling the skeleton body at all, and it is not uncommon for them to hit the wall and fall apart by themselves.

The old players who bet on Mengxin and only hung up [-] were about to cry: "Will you guys settle the score, queue up to get the quest, wait a while at most, and hang up offline to waste an hour of game time !"

No matter how the old players reacted, the angry rookies continued the kindergarten-level group fight noisily...

Zombie NPCs are overwhelmed by newcomers, and things aren't much better for advanced NPCs.

The first to be rushed by the newcomers was the Warriors Guild and the Faye Guild (the town hall of the exile town)-this group of players who had been in the forum knew that the Warriors and Faye teamed up to be popular.

Today's Warriors Guild is not the good-tempered Rex who sits in charge. It has long been replaced by a member of the former thieves to take the lead, and there are two former soldiers from the city defense army and a Sokri mercenary to assist.

These four people... don't care what their original personalities are, if they stay in exile town for a long time and live with a bunch of undead, they don't even think about how much patience they have left.

The newcomers have just witnessed the tragic scene of the zombie NPC looting the task, and they are afraid that the high-level NPC will also lag behind in the task, one by one rushing into the warrior guild, and rushing to the NPC who sent the task to try to get ahead... Then It's a tragedy.

"How dare you be so rude—!" The warrior instructors who were rushed to the face by a large group of undead were furious, drawing their swords and knives.

Where the blade passes, there are patches of white light.

"Fuck?!" The newbies who just wanted to take on the task were all dumbfounded, "Crazy??"

The warrior instructor can understand the words of "people", and glared at him: "Newborn undead, you need to know what politeness is!"

Another blade slashed, and another white light suddenly appeared.

Seeing that the newcomers rushing to the front row were being harvested by the warrior mentors in rows like wheat, the other cute newcomers hurriedly backed up: "Nima is poisonous! Hurry up, the NPCs here have a problem with their brains!"

"You don't even know how to repent!!" The warrior instructors, who were scolded one after another in person, had blue veins on their foreheads and chased after them with their weapons in hand.

The newcomers who fell behind hadn't even reached the Warriors Guild when they saw a few senior NPCs with warrior mentors chasing the people in front of them out of the guild, with question marks all over their faces: "What the hell?? What happened?" What??"

A little clever ghost poked his head into the Warriors Guild, and found that all the high-level NPCs were chasing and killing his compatriots, his eyes lit up immediately: "I'm here! The opportunity has come!"

This guy immediately jumped into the guild, followed the screenshots posted by old players on the forum, and touched the warehouse where the fighter guild kept the mission items...

Just when this little wit sneaked into the Warriors Guild, the patrolling operators on the street trotted towards this side expressionlessly...

"Don't, don't follow in!" Seeing the patrol operator, the newcomer was shocked, and hurriedly grabbed the little partner who also wanted to follow the first person in to take advantage of it.

A group of four patrolling operators stood still in front of the gate of the Warriors Guild, and the three of them stopped at the gate and stared at Mengxin who was shivering at the gate, and one of them entered.

Not long after, an inconspicuous white light came from the direction of the Warriors Guild's warehouse...

The Faye Guild where Yang Qiu himself sits is in a similar situation.

There are several mentor NPCs in other professional guilds, but there is only one in the Faye guild; all the newcomers who come here for the prestige of Faye know that if they also line up here, the cliff is worse than the zombie NPC, so one of them counts as a whole head to the town. Rush in the hall...

Yang Qiu will not get used to these earth compatriots, anyone who does not post "interaction" based on the experience of the old players, who does not know how to use the "interaction language" summed up by the old players, and does not know how to respect NPCs, there is one who counts as a whole. Send offline.

Those who entered the town hall and stole things openly in front of him, the lord Yang, would kill and never let go—this kind of problem of rummaging through boxes and cabinets in front of the master's house must be corrected!Our game can't encourage this kind of unhealthy tendencies!

The mentor NPCs had a great time, and the operator NPCs were not idle either.

He specially ran back to decompress... Uh, Tuttle Joe, who took the initiative to apply for a temporary transfer to help maintain order in the exile town, had just patrolled the life alley alone, and saw a few naked undead squatting in front of the vegetable field of the canteen of the chamber of commerce. Pointing.

"Is there still a vegetable-growing mode in this game? Is this planted by the player?" These cute newcomers who temporarily gave up the task because there were too many people doing the task and wandered around the town discussed Liu Liu curiously. Vegetables planted by the master and Lao Geng in their spare time.

"Is it possible to play the Stealing Vegetable Mode? Didn't it mean that the voice of the Undead Chamber of Commerce can be exchanged for food? Can pulling this vegetable be exchanged for the reputation of the Chamber of Commerce?" Another little clever ghost enthusiastically proposed an idea.

Let's exchange the farmer's own food for rewards. There are many games in this game. These newcomers didn't feel anything wrong. They were ready to harm the vegetable fields of the two old men and uncles.

Without saying a word, Tuttle Joe raised his right hand to touch his back from above his shoulder.

This time, he didn't feel lonely... He was originally here to help maintain law and order, so he was allowed to bring a bow.

Tuttle Joe, who smoothly pulled out his longbow from behind, drew the bow to Mengxin, who had turned over into the fence of the vegetable field, with a touch of emotion.

The neat and beautiful four arrows were fired in succession, and the four cuties who didn't know what they were attacked turned into white light and hung up tragically.

Satisfied, Tuttle Joe retracted his longbow and happily continued his patrol.

After walking for a while...he saw a few Mengxins wandering around the back door of the blacksmith shop.

These few rookie players have indeed read the experience posts of old players, and they know that they will be hacked to death if they are found by NPCs to do bad things, so they are very cautious-one is watching the wind, and the other is squatting at the door of the blacksmith shop to observe the position of the blacksmith NPC , and another stalks a shovel next to a pile of coal.

The shovel used by the blacksmith is big and heavy, completely unsuitable for the undead. If it is an old player who has a strong sense of the power of the undead race, he will never take a second look at this big guy... But Mengxin doesn't know this detail .

When Tuttle saw the three newcomers who were trying to make trouble, the newcomers on the lookout actually saw him too.

After all, Life Lane is relatively spacious, and most of the newcomers online are piled up on the zombie NPC or the guild side, and there are not many people on the road.

The newcomer on the lookout visually estimated that Tuttle was tens of meters away from the smithy in a straight line. His eyes only stayed on him for a while before turning away, and continued to stare at the surrounding area of ​​the smithy vigilantly...

From the player's point of view, this newcomer's reaction is not outrageous - after all, according to the experience of regular game players, the patrolling NPC's warning range is usually not that far away, so don't worry too much if you don't get close.

Isn't it normal for players of regular games to wander around under the nose of a famous NPC?

Tuttle silently raised his hand to draw his bow, nocked the arrow smoothly and drew the bowstring.

The new lookout who was shot at a distance of more than 60 meters stared at Tuttle's direction with a dazed face before turning into white light...

"Is the NPC alert range in this game so exaggerated?! It's outrageous!!"
