Chapter Twenty-Three: The Beginning Begins
Liu Ye stuffed three pieces of bubble gum into his mouth in one go, puffed up his cheeks, and blew a round bubble.
Immediately there was a soft sound, the bubble burst, and the willow leaf was immediately covered with sticky sugar.
"I'm still curious how you did it." Liu Ye took off the candy and stuffed it back into his mouth, "It stands to reason that players who can survive to the finals are very cautious, you can actually make them suddenly break out into such a fierce fight......"
"I just made some workarounds as the rules allowed. I was prepared for the stalemate between No. 1 and Nuomi on the bridge, so I set the final round on an open mountain, where the players would do their best to attack each other. Vali replied.
Liu Ye nodded, "It's not bad." Anyway, the WG squad has been wiped out, and no one knows that our game has bugs. By the way, I will take the time to send a few more boxes of cigarettes to No. 1 in the future. ”
“…… Is it necessary? It's just a game. ”
"Of course it's necessary!" Liu Yeliu's eyebrows were raised, "We can be a game operator and developer who sincerely serves players, we must think about what players think, and be anxious about what players are anxious about!" ”
"The most important thing players want is to get out of this game...... And how can there be a game operator who forces players to play the game with their lives! Vali retorted.
"Oh?" Liu Ye narrowed his eyes menacingly, "You actually complained about me - it seems that you are no longer suitable to continue to complete delicate and serious work as an artificial intelligence, I will report to your superiors and let you return to the factory for overhaul." ”
"Don't, don't, Sister Liuye!"

Duan Mo was too addicted to smoking, and comfortably opened the conversation window between Doudou and Drunken Dream.
The two of them didn't know what was going on in the game, and they were afraid that they were even more worried than Duan Mo, so they had to report their safety to them quickly.
But to Duan Mo's surprise, the two girls never agreed to Duan Mo's request for a conversation.
"Hey, are you asleep?" Duan Mo tried again a few times, but there was no response, and when he was about to give up, Doudou's session was suddenly connected.
"Brother Duan Mo, how is it?!" Doudou's little face was flushed, as if he had just finished running a thousand meters, and there was actually another person beside Doudou - Drunken Dream.
"Huh?! Why are you two in the same room?! Duan Mo suspected that he was dazzled, but it was indeed Doudou and Drunken Dreams in the video call.
"There's big news, go read the game announcement!" Doudou clenched his small fists and said excitedly.
"Huh? Wait, I'll take a look! Duan Mo was reminded by Doudou before he noticed an unread message in his status bar.
"Hello dear players.
After a long period of operation, the game has seen a welcome progress, with the number of players dropping from 1.5 million to 1 million. ”
"What the hell!" Duan Mo couldn't help but complain as soon as he finished reading the first sentence - "Other people's games are all about having fewer players, but you have more players?" And the 500,000 people who disappeared are already dead! What's there to congratulate about this? ”
"At the same time, the beta phase of the game has ended, and we are about to start the official operation."
"500,000 dead people just a test? Wouldn't the official operation have to die in three days?! ”
"In the official operation, we will open 1) the public area, 2) the new model, 3) a more complete interactive system, 4) the introduction of new props in the game store, 5, the depth and breadth of the gameplay will be increased in an all-round way...... For specific details, please see the detailed explanation below. ”
"No, you really think of yourself as a game, huh?" Duan Mo said as he clicked on the detailed introduction.
"1. Public areas. In view of the fact that the activity space of players at this stage is too small and simple, we have set up new modules for players such as living area and entertainment area. From now on, players can choose a house of their own in their living area and spend time with familiar teammates. ”
"You know we live in a shabby house, huh? Such a broken house is going to drive people crazy! Duan Mo was overjoyed, it seemed that in the future, he might be able to climb into the bed of the drunken dream in the middle of the night...... Or climb into Doudou's bed...... Or a double fly......
"2. New modes: In order to increase the enjoyment of the game for players, we have designed the following modes.
One, night mode.
Second, escape mode.
Three, zombie mode.
Four......
The above introduction to the rules of the new mode will be communicated before the start of each game. ”
"I'm ...... It's not to play CF......" Duan Mo had a big head for a while, these modes look difficult from the name, is it possible that the elimination rate will be higher in the future?
"3. A more complete interaction system. In order to increase user stickiness and interaction, and to maintain a harmonious and healthy atmosphere and environment in the game, we have specially launched: forum exchange, master list, item trading ......"
Seeing this, Duan Mo was already on the verge of collapse.
"A harmonious and healthy atmosphere? Where is the harmony between a hundred people fighting each other?! Forum exchanges? Do you want to exchange murder experiences? What is the list of masters! It's better to call it the butcher list! Item trading is a good thing, but why do you say it at the end? ”
In the next announcement, Duan Mo was no longer able to complain, he finished browsing quickly, and turned his head to continue the video with Doudou, but he didn't expect that on the other end of the video, there was no one.
"Huh? Human? Where did it go? ”
No one answered, but there was a sudden knock on the rotten wooden door of the dilapidated house.
Duan Mo was startled, the wooden door couldn't be opened at all - this Duan Mo had confirmed countless times, and outside the small dilapidated house, there was an infinite blank, which belonged to the ocean of data, how could anyone knock on the door?
But the knock on the door did sound.
Duan Mo's mind suddenly remembered the one in the system announcement - residential area, entertainment area and other modules.
In this way, is it possible that public places are also opened?
Duan Mo slammed open the wooden door, the old wooden door couldn't resist Duan Mo's strength at all, let out a squeaky scream, and slowly opened.
Outside the door is an oval-shaped, one-person-high, dark blue light curtain.
And Doudou and Drunken Dream poked their heads out of this light curtain and looked at him with a smile.
"We're coming to the door."
"Holy?! So amazing? Let me go out and have a look! Duan Mo said, pushing Doudou and Drunken Dream away, and plunged into it himself.
The moment you pass through the light curtain, you feel as if you are passing through a piece of water, and your whole body is cold and comfortable.
Inside the light curtain, there is a scene that Mo has never seen before.
A playground-sized open space is covered with pure black marble, which is so black that it can even reflect people's faces, and in the center of the square hangs a huge light blue screen full of dense small characters.
At this moment, the square was full of people and crowded, and everyone came out of their lounges and wandered around the square.
"It's ...... Where is it? Duan Mo was dumbfounded.
"The common area." Doudou replied with a smile.
"From here you can access the entertainment area and the residential area." Drunken Dream added: "You can use your points to buy a house, and after that, your little broken lounge can be upgraded. ”
"So, what's that big blue screen for?" Duan Mo asked, pointing to the huge screen in the center of the square.
"There's a leaderboard, a kill leaderboard, and an item trade announcement."
"Oh my God...... I can't accept it when I suddenly become like this from a small broken house...... Is this intended for us to live here forever? Duan Mo didn't know whether this change was good or bad.
"I'm afraid so. It seems that we will not be able to leave this ghost game anytime soon. "Drunken Dream looked a little annoyed.
But Doudou was very happy, she pulled up Zuimeng and said: "Sister Zuimeng, no matter what, we will be more comfortable in the future, at least we can buy a house and live together!" ”
Duan Mo pondered for a moment, thinking to himself that the changes to the game this time seemed to be much bigger than he had imagined, and what good was it for the game's designers to make the player's life more comfortable? After all, these players are likely to lose their lives in the next game, and housing and entertainment are not the primary needs of players......
"Brother Duan Mo, do you want to live with us?" Seeing that Duan Mo had not spoken for a long time, Doudou took Duan Mo's hand and asked.
"Huh?" Duan Mo was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Of course! We're definitely going to live together! ”
"I don't agree." Drunken Meng glanced at Duan Mo and said with disgust: "Your obscene expression has betrayed you." ”
"Don't!" Duan Mo hurriedly said: "We have been born and died together several times, don't you know who I am?" Think about it, when we were in danger before, when I didn't stand up! ”
"You're in terms of combat...... It's barely reliable, but I don't believe in your character. Drunken Dream said.
