64 Chu Xuan's "cooperation" with Cardinal
After the NPC forces began to maintain order strongly, the "Beginning Town", which had gradually become a bit of a miasma, immediately returned to the quiet and peaceful that it was when the players were just locked up in this world and were still full of vigilance about everything around them.
Ordinary players are satisfied with this change, no one dares to rob or even kill them, no guild drives them away for the sake of "chartering", and most importantly, no one is in front of them all day long, making them look aggrieved.
However, various large and medium-sized guilds, as well as some small guilds, seem to be a little worried that the order of the "Origin Town" is in the hands of NPC forces and the "Holy Black Cat Knights", so on the day of the end of the trial, they began to increase their exploration and attempts in this aspect of NPC prestige.
When these guild leaders got past the initial shock, they quickly came to a more correct judgment, that is, Chu Xuan should not be able to casually command NPCs to do things for him.
Recall that what those NPC soldiers did was based on the orders of the city lord, and Chu Xuan was just playing the role of an actual executor, but he skillfully concealed this, and on the surface, it seemed as if Chu Xuan had done whatever the NPC said.
Moreover, although it was certain that Chu Xuan was able to convince the City Lord to adopt some of his suggestions, if he thought about it carefully, in fact, Chu Xuan's suggestions would not bring any benefit to himself or his guild, and maintaining order was something that was beneficial to all players.
As long as it is reasonable enough, NPCs should not refuse the player's legitimate request - after all, this is a game, and those NPCs exist to make the player have a better gaming experience.
Of course, the "Holy Black Cat Knights" also gained some invisible benefits after "leading" this incident, which greatly increased its prestige and status among players, but these benefits will not appear in the form of numerical values in the game, so NPCs will not count this kind of benefits and "stupidly" let Chu Xuan use them.
Case...... So why can't a guild that is larger than the "Holy Black Cat Knights" go to the city lord to "brush up on prestige", and then use the combat power of NPCs to serve itself?
However, if you want to use NPCs, you must first be able to deal with NPCs, and these "earthmen" in "God's Domain" can all be called "oil and salt do not enter", and it is basically difficult to deal with any worthless behaviors such as small talk, and it is extremely difficult for city lords, nobles, and master-level professional owners to approach.
If you don't have a certain status, you can only deal with people who also have no status, and even if you try your best to get the opportunity to talk to your superiors, you will basically not be ignored by the other party.
Although the leaders of those guilds also guessed that Chu Xuan should have some kind of adventure to talk to the city lord, they were not discouraged.
Because since there is a first time, there is a second time, and there is a second time, there are likely to be countless times, as long as they also find some kind of way to "farm reputation", they can rely on the huge number of people to repeat this method over and over again, so that the reputation can accumulate - especially if they farm "guild reputation".
It is based on this consideration that the matter of "brushing prestige", which was originally placed in the lower sequence because it has never been able to reach the upper class of NPCs, has been mentioned by various guilds in the early sequence.
It's just that some guilds are bent on speculation, and they directly go to the upper level of the NPC; And some guilds think that it is difficult to be valued by NPC nobles before they have enough strength, so they will level up and brush prestige at the same time, grasping with both hands, and both hands should be hard.
Of course, in addition to actively developing relationships with NPCs and not allowing the "Holy Black Cat Knights" to completely monopolize the "NPC Resources", after the "Holy Black Cat Knights" proved their strength, various guilds also began to seek cooperation with this small female guild that was not too valued by them.
And the "Holy Black Cat Knights" also know how hateful it is for a person to eat alone, so they rely on their "NPC resources" to truly become a guild that can be equal to other big guilds, and presided over the establishment of the "round table system" to decide the major matters in the whole of the "adventurer" in the best way - whether it is internal or external.
While extensively uniting all the forces that could be united, Chu Xuan also chose a few allies for the "Holy Black Cat Knights", because with the memory of the "original work", it was not difficult to find a few teammates who were both powerful and reliable.
And Cheng Hui and Kratis, who had received "inspiration" from Chu Xuan before, were also willing to maintain a further cooperative relationship with such a rational and restrained force.
With the relationship between Joe and Kratis, the "Knights of the Holy Black Cat" can gain the "connections in the guild" and "player human resources" that they lack; In addition to the "NPC resources" that Cheng Hui and Kratis can obtain, the greater benefit is that they can get some valuable ideas, creativity, and practical research results from Chu Xuan.
Although even if the "Knights of the Holy Black Cat" does not have "NPC resources", it seems that it will not affect the progress of this cooperation, but in that case, in the eyes of the shrewd and wise "social elite" Cratis, the "Knights of the Holy Black Cat" is definitely not qualified to become a partner with him to share benefits, and Chenghui, who values human favors more, does not care about this.
Considering that the "Holy Black Cat Knights" are likely to have a relationship with the city lord of the "Beginning Town" through the prestige and opportunity obtained by killing **OSS for the first time, many major guilds have stepped up preparations for clearing the wasteland, which has invisibly promoted the player's exploration of this world.
However, what all the players, including the members of the Sacred Black Cat Knights, except for Chu Xuan, didn't know was that their path was actually wrong, and the reason why Chu Xuan was able to say that the NPC City Lord was able to maintain order had nothing to do with the mission, prestige, and the artificial intelligence of the high-level NPC.
At the beginning, Chu Xuan did use the study of slimes' bodily fluids as a stepping stone to improve his "academic prestige", and used the first kill **oss to gain a lot of "combat prestige", but these prestige could only create opportunities for him to talk to the city lord, at most, within some "reasonable" range, let the city lord agree to Chu Xuan's request.
- However, this "reasonable request" in no way includes the rectification of the order in the training area and the surrounding towns, as this request seriously interferes with the interests of other players.
For NPCs, it is a basic rule that players will be rewarded as much as they complete a task, and the "reasonable request" made by Chu Xuan after meeting the city lord is also a "task reward", so the value of this reward must be consistent with the "contribution" he has made.
Determining the law and order in an area is a power that can only be exercised in the player's own territory, or in a territory ruled by the player.
The contribution required to obtain this power while all players are gathered in the "Origin Town" is almost infinite - because the game's automatic debugging and game balance maintenance system, Cardinal, will actively judge the player's requirements and then adjust the value of the contribution according to the principle of "balance".
As a result, the NPC City Master will "refuse" the player's unreasonable request by proposing a condition or task that the player simply cannot complete in a short period of time.
And the reason why Chu Xuan was able to succeed was actually because what he put forward was not "himself" in the game, but the "player's" request for the improvement of the game - that is, to make player complaints.
In fact, Chu Xuan just wanted to try the idea of "player complaints" through important NPCs in the game that may be directly controlled or monitored by Cardinal, and he was not completely sure that it would succeed, but according to Chu Xuan's analysis of the "original plot", this idea could still succeed - it was because of Cardinal's existence.
In the first few game worlds of Sword Art Online, the NPCs in the game had high artificial intelligence, and could also give birth to artificial intelligence like "Yui", which almost has human feelings, while Cardinal seems to be just a simple "error correction" program.
However, Cardinal, which can perfectly perform automatic debugging and maintain game balance in a game with a high degree of player accuracy, will only be better than the smartest NPC in the game, because the "judgment" she has to make must be more "correct" than that of ordinary NPCs.
However, it wasn't until the world of "under~world" that Cardinal showed her "intelligence" after "obtaining" a human body, rather than just a mechanical system retrieval and repair program.
Chu Xuan speculated that this should be due to the fact that Kayaba Jinghiko made some changes to the game that he did not want to appear in order to prevent Cardinal from making some changes to the game with his "own" understanding of "correct", and strictly restricted this artificial intelligence that was more advanced than all the artificial intelligence in the game, so that she could not "take the initiative" to make changes to those "unreasonable" places in the game.
For example, the behavior of the villain player in the game, with Cardinal's artificial intelligence, will not fail to judge that this is wrong, but she does not have the authority to actively correct such mistakes.
And Chu Xuan was because of Cardinal's "cooperation...... In other words, it is because he "cooperated" with Cardinal and bypassed the restrictions of the world rules on Cardinal in a "legal" way, so that he was able to correct the player's bad behavior that was not "correct", but Cardinal had no way to restrict.
NPCs are not so easy to be moved by players, and the reason why the NPC City Lord can be said by Chu Xuan is because Chu Xuan cleverly described his words as "a complaint against the game", and put forward a "reasonable" suggestion of dispatching the NPC army, bypassing the various restrictions imposed by Cardinal, allowing her to "legally" fix this **UG.
Since Chu Xuan has succeeded, he must not know where to hide Kayaba Jinghiko must not be able to sit still now, maybe he is now re-modifying the source code of Cardinal line by line. (To be continued.) )
