Chapter 251: A Game of the Creation Genre
"Could it be that the dark group really made a garbage game for the purpose of collecting money?"
Zhou Guangyuan had this question in his heart.
But why did the Dark Syndicate do this?
Do they lack such a little money?
It seems that there is no need for this at all, not to mention the good reputation of taking it, and there is not much benefit to be gained.
But including him, the vast majority of players did not have a very good experience on the first day of the game, and it can even be said that it was quite bad, and most of them quit the game with a "starving" experience and did not get anything to gain.
Many impatient players simply toss the virtual helmet aside or apply for a return.
The number of players online at the same time on the second day decreased from 18 million yesterday to 10 million, and the number of online players was nearly halved.
The content of the game has not changed much, and after the players are resurrected in situ, they find that the place where they are is still a boundless prairie, and there are still no buildings, NPCs, or monsters in sight, and it is monotonous like a blank sheet of paper.
However, there were a few players who finally ran into other players on the map.
A player named "Gentleman Doesn't Stand" posted on the official forum:
"Today I walked in the game for another full day until the hunger level was close to making you faint."
"But I'm not walking aimlessly, but always moving in one direction, straight forward, I want to determine whether this is an online game with tens of millions of players, or a single-player game that deceives players."
"Two days, two days of walking, adding up to hundreds of miles, just when I was about to faint and lose my mobility, I saw a man walking on the hillside in the distance, and he happened to spot me, it was a bit like a reunion scene in a TV series, we trotted towards each other, and our faces were very excited...... Although face-to-face found out that we were all men. ”
"Not surprisingly, I met another player, and coincidentally, he was also walking straight and determining the size of the game map, but I was going east, and he was going straight west, and then we bumped into each other."
“…… The conclusion from this is that the game we are playing is not a stand-alone game, it is indeed a large-scale virtual online game, with tens of millions of players online at the same time, but the area of the game map is far larger than we imagined, with an average of 50 kilometers of radius for each player, and 7,850 square kilometers of land for each player according to the area formula. ”
"Multiply that by 10 million, and we're standing on a map that's at least 200 blue mercurys in size, and it's an entire map that's connected to the Internet."
"This will definitely consume a huge amount of server resources, and the scope is far more than an order of magnitude larger than other virtual games that advertise a game map equivalent to the size of a medium country, but we should all explore such a vast game space."
The popularity of this post is high.
After being officially pinned, the number of clicks exceeded 10 million, and the downstairs replies exceeded 1 million.
Many players were shocked by the vastness of the game map, and planned to wait and see, and fumble and explore.
However, there are even more players who choose to quit the game permanently and label it as "spam".
So on the third day.
The number of online players in the game has dropped to about 5 million, which is half since yesterday.
If this situation continues, even if the huge map of Tectonic World is a good highlight, due to the lack of any of the necessary elements of the game, it is estimated that this virtual online game will be completely cool in a week at most.
After all, there is a limit to the patience of players.
And yet on the third day.
The situation has changed dramatically!
A post by one player shook the spirits of all the players who didn't give up, and also rekindled the interest of those who abandoned the game.
I know how to play this game! 》
The player excitedly said in this post:
"I've found the trick to keeping the game going!"
"In the past few days, I've actually been like all players, I've been exploring the gameplay of this game, looking for a way not to starve out of the game, as long as I can survive normally, this game can be played."
"Eating grass, I have tried to eat grass everywhere on the ground, and found that it is really effective, as long as the taste sense is turned to the lowest, lying on the ground and eating those grasses, you can slowly eliminate the hunger value, about an hour of grass, you can reduce the hunger value by 20 points, which is equivalent to eating a half-full meal."
"But as the hunger went down, the HP began to drop, and the cost of reducing the hunger by 20 was that the HP also dropped by 20 points...... The grass is poisonous. ”
"Although eating early can guarantee that you will not starve to death, it will hang up directly, prolonging your survival time by five hours at most."
"Could it be that this virtual online game is really a garbage game?"
"But I don't believe in evil, I don't believe that the Dark Group will develop such a game that can't be played at all, fooling us players, there must be some trick in it!"
"So today, I entered the game again, and I wandered around for more than ten hours, tossing my hunger value to 80, and my HP dropped below 30, falling into a double negative state of weakness and fainting."
"I lay on the grass and looked at the blue sky above me, and I had a lot of hallucinations in front of me, and it seemed that I would get nothing out of today's gaming experience."
"At this time!"
"I noticed the 'construction energy value' with a value of 1 on the personal properties panel, and suddenly I thought of the advertising slogan of "Constructing the World": Everyone is the master of creation, and in a flash, your inspiration becomes reality and constructs your own world...... For a moment, I thought of something! ”
"Bread, the bread that immediately came to my mind at that time, was the barley bread I had eaten this morning, and I thought that at this moment, if only I had a piece of barley bread in front of me, it would fill my stomach very well."
"So I was thinking hard about the texture and taste of barley bread, and its shape, texture, and composition...... Even saliva is about to flow out. ”
"Then a magical scene happened, a light lit up in front of me, and my mind seemed to enter another dimension, countless particles of light were converging, combining, then dimming and dissipating, and finally, a whole piece of barley bread appeared in front of me and fell beside me."
"I thought I was hallucinating, so I picked up the bread with difficulty, put it to my mouth and took a bite...... Well, it's exactly the same taste as the bread you eat in the morning. ”
"After eating the whole bread, I feel the strength in my body, the fainting state is lifted, open the personal attribute panel and see, the hunger value has been reduced to 23, and the HP has also recovered to 60, the only thing that has been reduced is the structural energy value of that point."
“……”
"Players, you should know how to play this game by now, right?"
"It's not a game of fighting monsters at all, leveling up, growing and collecting, but a game of creating types, constructing energy values, and maybe bringing everything we want!"
"So, please use our respective imaginations, the more imaginative, maybe the better you will play! It's also time to throw away the shackles of traditional games and plunge into this race of imagination. ”
"Although it is only a piece of bread, I believe that this game will definitely not disappoint you and me."
After reading this post.
Zhou Guangyuan suddenly realized as if he had been enlightened.
Tens of millions of players have also understood.
Immediately, they put on their virtual headsets and entered the virtual game that they had previously rated as "garbage" to start anew.
On the vast prairie, one by one, they sat cross-legged on the ground as if they were eminent monks, contemplating all kinds of objects in their minds......
