08 Automatic debugging and game balance maintenance system

"Don't worry, I'm just trying to sell you some information - like how to get a hidden class."

Seeing that Argo was as vigilant as a little mouse sensing danger, Chu Xuan explained calmly in a tone that was neither cold nor hot.

"Hidden profession?"

The bait thrown by Chu Xuan really attracted Argo's attention, as an informant, she knew much more about the Divine Realm than Klein, but even if she used some "special channels", she couldn't get any detailed information about the inside of the game world before today.

Therefore, the man with facial paralysis and glasses in front of her can only find a channel to obtain a hidden profession in no more than two hours after entering the game.

"I'm very interested in this information, but you also know that for the time being, I can only exchange information in the game to allow you to obtain benefits equivalent to the value of this information, and I can't pay you money or items.

Or are you going to exchange this information for real money? ”

When it comes to his business, Argo immediately transforms from an ordinary-looking girl to a shrewd tipster.

Chu Xuan pushed down his reflective glasses expressionlessly, and replied lightly:

"No, it's good to trade in the game, I have a lot of things I need from you, so let's take this information as my first payment."

"Ahh

I'm sure you've heard of Argo's abilities, and while the price may be a little bit more expensive, it's definitely worth the money. ”

Argo deliberately pretended to be a merchant and grovelled to Chu Xuan, and said quite flatteringly.

Chu Xuan, who already knew very well what kind of person Argo was, although it was impossible for him to be deceived by her, there was no need to expose her, so let Argo think he had a plan for the time being.

"Add friends."

Chu Xuan said with a poker face and a businesslike indifferent tone, after the two became "friends", Chu Xuan simply explained to Argo the process of triggering the hidden task of "Scholar".

“…… According to the propaganda of God's Realm, the world is maintained by 'cardinals', the cardinals, who maintain the balance of the game with automatic debugging.

It will analyze the player's actions in the game, constantly adjust the balance of monster AI, NPC AI, and props, correct the **ug in the game to prevent players from profiting from it, and can prevent almost all game abnormalities and exploiting system vulnerabilities.

Therefore, I deduce that there can't be a fixed procedure for a task like this that triggers a hidden class, but cardinal adjustments should also be made in a logical way.

For example, this time I listened to the slap of the clerk of the Navigator's Guild, then the next time the clerk has already scratched me, and his mood has improved, and he will not scratch others again; If the player has to ask him what is going on with him, it will attract the resentment of the clerk, and it will be even less likely to actively mention information related to the hidden profession of 'scholar'.

But, while he couldn't trigger the quest in the same way as I did, it was certain that the boring Voyager's Guild clerk knew that the hidden profession of 'scholar' should be inquired about by the librarian, and that he wanted to transfer out of the city.

With the help of these key points, you can try to accomplish the task in other ways - such as chatting with the clerk more, sending him some interesting entertainment items to please him, bribing his superiors to help him transfer out of the city, or just finding a way to find a librarian.

However, no matter what the method is, it will not always work, making the hidden profession of 'Scholar' ubiquitous, and cardinal can make it more difficult to trigger quests to achieve a balance.

For example, if the second person triggers the task through long-term chatting, then the clerk has friends who can chat often, and may not be interested in chatting with someone again in a short period of time, and other players must continue to send higher value items during this period, and even find ways to help him transfer.

- And the player who helped him transfer out is the last person who can trigger the quest through this key character, and then Cardinal can reasonably scrap the quest trigger point entirely.

The same is true for triggering quests from librarians or NPCs of the scholar class, the first player has the lowest difficulty to trigger the quest - which is equivalent to an incognito reward, and if the quest is triggered frequently by other players during the 'cooldown', the difficulty of the quest will increase until Cardinal scraps the quest trigger point. ”

Chu Xuan stood at the door of the library and gave Argo a good lesson, Argo, as an intelligence broker, was also a master of the "task stream", but he was still stunned by Chu Xuan's analysis.

"You...... It can't be an insider at a game company, right? You're as familiar with the mechanics of this game as if you made it.

Or are you a professional gamer from China? If a pro gamer like you had been in Ben, I wouldn't have heard of your name before. ”

The staggering Argo has increased his interest in Chu Xuan a lot, this Chinese player who wears a pair of glasses that are always weirdly reflective, just like the common "Xueba" in animation, has a really unusual mind!

"It's just a simple reasoning based on the available information, and what I'm saying is not a confirmed fact, but the most likely guess."

Chu Xuan pushed down his reflective glasses expressionlessly, and replied lightly, without revealing a single bit of personal information about him.

"Shall I go in and find the librarian next?"

"This ......"

Chu Xuan's "goodwill" invitation made Argo hesitate, "Nothing to do, either annihilation or theft", Chu Xuan should not be the person who looks at her who has changed her appearance to be extremely ordinary, so the reward that Chu Xuan wants from her is definitely worth a lot.

"May I ask what price do you want to sell me for this information?"

As a shrewd and disciplined businessman, Argo will not take advantage of the other party and then repay the debt, nor will he rashly eat the bait for the huge benefits in front of him, and lose the leading power in the negotiation early, so it is better for Chu Xuan to make it clear in advance what he wants to get from her.

"I hope to be able to establish a long-term and stable trading relationship with you, and I can sell you any information I have in the future as soon as possible - as long as you pay a sufficient price.

I basically don't need money, you can pay for it with rare items, items, or other information that I might be interested in.

And the first piece of information I'm asking for now is to get simple information about all the players who were 'born' in the city - as long as they have IDs, and the sooner the better, if you could tell me where to find the people I'm interested in. ”

Chu Xuan put forward his request very happily, it seemed very simple, but Argo secretly frowned after hearing it.

This kind of commission that is obviously looking for a specific player with other unknown intentions is generally difficult to value, so she can put a large price on it, and if she doesn't want to spend this money, she will naturally retreat.

And Chu Xuan in front of her is obviously not a big wrongdoer, but he is willing to issue this kind of commission at the beginning of the game, so this Chinese player must have a big plan, and I don't know which player he wants to make up for the cost of buying intelligence.

"All players who were 'born' in this city...... Isn't that the first player to enter the game?

That's nearly 30,000 people, are you sure you want to know the ID of each and every one of them? That's a huge amount of money to pay for intelligence, huh?

If you want to find someone, I suggest you tell me their ID directly, so that it can be more efficient and cheaper. ”

Argo tentatively suggested to Chu Xuan that the conscience of the informant (if any) made her have to determine the reason why Chu Xuan spent a lot of money to find someone, and then decide whether to provide information to Chu Xuan.

Although it is rumored in the 'rivers and lakes' that "Rat" Argo will sell as long as he can sell information, including his own ability value, but if it is information that she judges "cannot be sold", she will definitely not sell it.

"It's okay, I want to get a full picture of who's in the game."

Chu Xuan politely rejected Argo's suggestion and insisted on acting as the wronged leader, which made his behavior even more suspicious.

But...... If he wants to find someone, he will be able to find it sooner or later, but it shouldn't matter much if he just provides the ID.

Perhaps, this player from China is actually a local tyrant, and what he wants to find is a girl who has also entered the "Realm of Gods", and then "accidentally" meet that girl in the game, and chase her little by little.

Why this somewhat mysterious Chinese player wanted to find that person, and what would happen between the two of them, Argo had many guesses, but he couldn't be sure which one was Chu Xuan's true intention.

Well...... It's suspicious, but Argo is just an informant, and she can't do that much.

Even if Chu Xuan is actually an emotional liar, his purpose is to meet the eldest lady of a rich family in the game, and then become the other party's golden beetle son-in-law in reality, but as long as the eldest lady herself is not moved, Chu Xuan's conspiracy will not succeed.

- And even if Chu Xuan succeeded, it was the eldest lady's own fault, and it didn't have much to do with Argo, who sold the information that even Chu Xuan could find out by himself.

However, although she said that, in order to make herself feel at ease, she still had to slaughter Chu Xuan fiercely. (To be continued.) )
