The next day, Pan Wen threw himself into the recruitment process again.

He has the basic information of the ship he bought earlier, but he doesn't need to go on the ship to count the posts one by one.

But before that, I have to add the captain of the Kuroshio.

As soon as the list opened, there was a rare rank captain job search information on it, but there was still a considerable degree of problem with this piece of information.

The Rare Captain's job search information is marked in red, indicating that he has betrayed his employer, or it is possible that he has turned red after repeatedly disobeying his employer's orders and accumulating warnings. Either way, Pan Wen would not dare to hire this god.

After some consideration, he didn't continue to wait for the job search information to be refreshed, and directly selected an elite captain with a reliable and stable record.

Ma Ming, male. Signing expectation: 500 signing money, 200 annual salary.

Like Matthew, he is from the Ma family, but this real surname is Ma, and he is a very professional captain.

License: Elite Expert-level Starship Mastery (Hull Strength increased by 35%); Subsidiary Licenses: Expert Maintenance (30% increased equipment durability), Expert Amplification (30% increase in maximum damage of ships), Expert Stabilization (30% increase in minimum damage of ships).

A complete set of licenses that are all expert-level is enough for him to get the top salary of the elite level.

Speaking of which, the bonus of the elite level and the rare level of the subsidiary license is the same at the same level, but Doris can get an annual salary of 500 star coins with a high-level license, but Ma Ming is so unbearable, it seems to be a bit of something.

In fact, in addition to the different upper limit of the main license upgrade, the rarity level also has a very strong advantage - comparable to the learning ability of a real person! With the increase of ability, level or contact with players, rare level NPCs will gradually occupy more host resources to form a unique and truly high-level AI, which is certainly not comparable to the elite level.

Pan Wen has been studying the differences between various NPCs for a while, taking the time point that the Great Galaxy Era opened a few days ago as an example, at that time, the AI of ordinary, elite, and rare NPCs are all generated based on the random combination of personality, hobbies, memory fragments, and professional knowledge, and the rarity level may be slightly smart, but there is no essential difference with the two AI stages of the lower level. As time increases, NPCs will gradually become different from their interactions with the outside world.

Normal-level AI will not change for almost a lifetime, and the external manifestation is that their memory is very poor, for example, they will not realize that a topic was discussed a few days ago, and such NPCs naturally do not have any learning ability, and they are what they come out of.

The elite level already has a certain degree of learning ability, which can be understood as they are each equipped with a small "memory" and "hard disk", and after the data overflows, they begin to erase some unimportant things. No matter how low their level is when they spawn, they can eventually reach the top level in their own field, and although they can't compete with players on their own, they are already the backbone of NPCs.

Rare, an average of a hundred NPCs will have such a one, they are indistinguishable from real people in all aspects, and they are real people when you want to treat them as real people. If there is a difference, it may just be that they are not as fickle as humans, and their personalities are much more fixed.

Pan Wen chose Matthew, in addition to his all-expert-level suit license that could instantly take the Kuroshio's attack to the next level, but also to consider the composition of the fleet.

According to his understanding of the player, when the player deals with NPCs, especially bosses, the advantages they hold are nothing more than a few: the strength of the outnumber, the will to fight regardless of death, and the enhancement of equipment, the equipment in the Galactic Era is naturally a battleship. If you want to continue to fight against the player, you have to take the player's advantages apart one by one to deal with it.

There are many people, and at this point, NPCs are at an absolute disadvantage. A group like Segeis is already quite powerful, but from a spatial point of view, it must become a stepping stone for players to level up, or "start the process" as the ancient game parlance. Of course, in the future, there may be official forces from the Isis Empire and the Gabry Federation to help the player. However, even if you don't rely on the Fortress Star, NPCs still can't compare the number with players, the reason is that the second world is the reality of NPCs, and NPCs will prioritize costs and benefits when clustering, such as 20 frigates to hunt gunboats, what is the benefit? Not to mention personnel supplies, the fuel required for a hyperspace jump from 20 frigates will cost 2,000 Star Coins! Players can ignore a lot of things, maybe just for a piece of territory to fight NPC monsters, they can immediately scrape together hundreds of captains with their own warships to "clear the field", without considering the cost in a short period of time.

Then there's the will to fight in defiance of death, which the NPCs certainly can't match. For example, when the scalpel was captured earlier, thirty captives were captured, and the player was captured alive, unless someone else was doing something very specific. From this point of view, to deal with players in space battles, they can only be carried out under the premise of crushing strength, otherwise once they fall into an extremely dangerous situation, the crew may leave their posts in advance to survive.

Finally, there is the equipment enhancement, which is a bit weird in this aspect.

Players can "change" money out of thin air, so there is a natural advantage in strengthening. However, this is precisely the only place where NPCs outperform the player...... The root cause of this is that the two sides have different camps and skill systems. Although there is no time to confirm it among players in the Great Galaxy Era, according to previous memories, after the player is strengthened at the full level, he can also single-handedly pick up an elite monster of the same level, and there is only one in a thousand rare monsters that can kill alone.

There are many wronged players in the game, but most of them are still sensible, in the early and middle stages, the players who will carry out full-level enhancement are definitely rare, and it is impossible to calculate it according to the "heap", and the top elite at this stage has a lot to do in front of the players.

Since the elite is not a weak chicken in the eyes of the player, then on the premise of having a high-stage ship, the elite can also form a crushing advantage over the player.

Elite frigates, which have 30% increased damage and 35% more ship strength, will make no difference when dealing with players using patrol ships as long as they are not surrounded by a large group, compared to Rare Tier frigates, which also only have 30% damage and only 65% more damage but 65% more ship strength. What Pan Wen needs more is the AI advantage of the rare level, which can form independent combat effectiveness, and bring a few elites to do tasks alone, even if they are separated from mining, they can make more money. What's more, the annual salary of the elite is so cheap, as long as the captain of the three or five elite ships, Pan Wen can save tens of thousands of star coins in the annual salary for this.

"This is the ship and crew of the Kuroshio, and besides, my fleet will spend most of its time on 'hunting', do you have any questions?" Before signing the contract, Pan Wenduo asked.

Ma Ming really had a question: "I want to know if there is a bonus?" ”

When Pan Wen heard the question, he didn't think that Ma Ming was a money-only person in his eyes, and his employment record could be found in the Friendly People Interaction Center, which was very good.

"There is no rule for me to pay bonuses, but because your license level is good, I can give you an additional annual salary of 30 Star Coins, and if you pay a bonus, you will still have a share."

30 Star Coins is only 15% of Ma's salary next year, which is almost a bad amount compared to the bonuses and annual salary of some professions.

"That's great." Matthew, who had just passed middle age, laughed, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes and mouth were a little deep.

Matthew's happiness didn't seem to be fake, so Pan Wenduo asked, "You need money very much?" ”

"I ...... I'd like to have a ship of my own, well, a better armed merchant ship. If you have an annual salary of 230 Star Coins, you should be able to start a business with more capital after completing this contract. ”

Pan Wen looked at Matthew, nodded, and modified the annual salary in the terms of the contract, and the two parties signed.

It's not surprising that NPCs have their own ideals, but most of them don't wait for that day to be resurrected, and only the resurrected body with the most basic memories may not even exist.

……

When Pan Wen was recruiting the crew for his third frigate, there was also a hint of unease in the players' forums.

The player forum is a parallel world of the second world, which can implement some of the functions of the second world, such as playing various games outside of the second world. In addition to players and players, some players who are not very wealthy will act as agents in the forums to obtain additional funds.

Recently, a room that was once famous but almost disbanded around the opening of the Galactic Era has once again had members.

"Victim Alliance" is its name.

Originally, the Victim Alliance was just a few guys who were bullied by high-level NPCs and caused the group to be wiped out. However, as the process of the second world progresses, NPC Awakened Ones appear from time to time, making more and more players feel that they have become victims and join in to share their experiences in their spare time.

At this time, there were more than a dozen players in the room sitting in what appeared to be a box corner, most of them looking depressed. On the coffee table in front of them, there were several photographs, which were strange, and it was difficult to identify the subject in the dark environment.

In addition to the photos, there is also a tablet that plays a very short video repeatedly. The video is Pan Wen's "Hello, Human, Goodbye!" ".

"The events that are now known prove that this awakened man changes positions with every shot, and it is too difficult to capture him at this stage, mainly because we can't maintain a large enough force at all times." A dark-haired man raised his spirit and said something.

"Are we going to honestly huddle in front of our house and fight those monsters who have only a little experience?"

The black-haired man shook his head: "No, I don't think we can give up when we go out to fight monsters, but in the shadow of these awakened people, we have reached the point where we must realize the essence of the second world, otherwise we will never be able to get rid of those demons." ”

"The essence? You mean about its resource coordination features? A silver-haired man replied.

The black-haired man continued to shake his head: "The system of resource coordination is too big, and not any group of people can make up their minds. Again, I'm talking about equipment and tactics. ”

"Just say what you have, don't grind." A somewhat chubby man was immediately unhappy when he saw the black-haired man stop again.

"I have checked a lot of information recently, and I found that fighters are our weakness, especially after everyone gradually retooled patrol ships, it seems that they have forgotten the existence of fighters." The black-haired man looked at the expressions of several people around him, and continued, "I don't need to be verbose about how real the second world is, according to the chronicles of the Galactic Era, space fighters have existed for 1,800 years, and the latest fighter was released last month. So I don't think players can give up on the fighter at any stage. ”

"But it's impossible for a fighter to threaten a frigate!" A certain man brought up the fatal flaw of the fighter.

No matter how many advantages fighters have, when it comes to combat effectiveness, because of the size of the weapons and engine power that they can load, it is extremely difficult for them to break through the interception of the frigate's secondary guns.

"Can you explain why there was a press conference for the new fighter last month?" The brunette looked at the guy who asked the question with interest.
