Chapter 146
Compared with "Infinite Horror", "The Adventures of Rookie Adventurers" and "Mercenary Legends" are not so popular. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoAfter all, the quality of the game does vary greatly, so it's not okay if you don't accept it.
"Infinite Terror" allows players to transform into a low-level adventurer and experience all kinds of incredible adventures. While these adventures are often a bit scary, and even have the nickname "Jumanji", there's no denying that it's more exciting than you can imagine - veteran adventurers have rated it as at least eight points similar to real-life adventures. As for the two points deducted, one point is that things are too bizarre, most of the adventures in reality are very bland, not so much bizarre, and the other is too dangerous, the mortality rate is too high, and the adventures in reality are really not so terrifying. If real-life adventures were so bizarre and had such a high mortality rate, then the adventurer profession was extremely high-risk, and no one in their right sense would want to do it.
In other words, the name is really right, this game is indeed very exciting, but also terrifying.
The other two games are not so exciting, "The Adventures of a Rookie Adventurer" is a simple play on words, mainly about a person who knows nothing about adventures, how to prepare for them, and how to go through the first few adventures. For those who have no adventure experience at all, and have never played the game before, it is a fun science. For those who are really new to adventure, it is also a useful channel to supplement the necessary knowledge. But as long as you play it more times and get familiar with the content, it seems boring.
And the "Mercenary Legend" is much more interesting than the "Adventures of the Rookie Adventurer", one is that it has a graphic picture, the picture is quite exquisite, especially the image of various monsters is very realistic, if the people who have played the monster in reality are mistaken, it is definitely not a problem with the eyes or a problem with the brain;
This game is actually very popular, and there are people queuing up every day to experience it, but the number of people in line is far from "infinite horror", and it is not a grade at all. If one is not in a hurry to play, as long as you book a day or two in advance, you can play almost effortlessly.
And there is another reason that determines the difference in the popularity of the three games. The "Infinite Horror" console - assuming that the coffin-like crystal cylinder that allows people to lie down in it is also a game console - is not for sale, and players who want to experience it can only come to the Void Kamen Temple. The other two game consoles are sold to the public, and as long as you build an altar to your majesty in the void and masquerade at home, keep it for daily offerings, and make offerings with fruits or food, you can use it stably.
Over the years, many wealthy families in Garth City have bought game consoles. Even if you are a middle-income family, you can buy one from several families together, and everyone will take turns to play anyway.
Because of the game consoles, the entertainment life of the residents of Gars City is relatively poor - at least in many other places. They don't go to the opera much, they don't have much interest in other cultural projects, and the most enthusiastic thing is to go home and play games. There was even a famous scholar who said of the city: "It is a sea of money, but it is a desert of culture.
"Is it really such an exaggeration?" Sui Xiong came to Leon's office and talked to him about the game console, and as he chatted, he talked about this evaluation. Sui Xiong was taken aback when he heard this, and asked suspiciously, "Have the Garrs really become an army of Internet addicts?"
"Legion of Internet Addicts? What's that?"
"It's a group of poor people who are said to need a certain Professor Yang to be electrocuted...... The people of Garth City have really reached the point where they spend almost all of their spare time playing games?"
Leon smiled and shook his head: "How is it possible! But for most of the wealthy Gals, in addition to eating and drinking, going out for a walk or traveling, the most common entertainment in their leisure time is indeed games. Their main game is 'Mercenary Legends', and last time I counted, there were probably more than 20,000 regular players in the whole of Garth. ”
"it...... 20,000 people?!" Sui Xiong was taken aback, "I remember that the game console seems to cost 500 gold coins per piece, right? 20,000 people, isn't it tens of millions of gold coins?!"
"You're miscalculated, in fact most players buy a console from several people combined. It's rare for a person to actually have a game console to himself. According to my statistics, on average, there is currently an average of about five people owning a gaming console. ”
Sui Xiong calculated and couldn't help but sigh in amazement.
A game console for five people is also an average of 100 gold coins per person. One hundred gold coins is not a small amount, and it is only one or two thousand gold coins to hunt down a more dangerous wanted criminal.
Moreover, 20,000 players, with an average of 100 gold coins per person, then it adds up to 2 million gold coins! 2 million gold coins is also not a small number! Even the treasury of the Blue Moon Kingdom may not be able to take out so many gold coins at once.
"The Garns are so rich?" Sui Xiong couldn't help but ask.
"Almost, after all, it's the accumulation of years. And Carissa, she has held several subsidized events for the purchase of game consoles...... Calculated bits and pieces, the average player spends less than 60 gold coins on the game console. ”
"Less than sixty gold coins is a lot!"
"It's a lot for farmers, but it's a lot for a bustling big city like Garth...... How to put it, although it is still a lot, but in general it is still valuable. "And even the simplest 'Rookie Adventures' can be used to gain the basics of adventure." And it also comes with a basic literacy system -- you think about it, sixty gold is not a lot just to learn to read and write, right?"
Sui Xiong thought for a moment and nodded.
In this world, learning to read and write is indeed a very expensive thing. It doesn't seem very expensive to buy a set of tools that can be used for many years and teach people the basic lingua franca for only sixty gold coins.
"So, we Gales people actually have a very high literacy rate. Leon smiled and said, "After the scholar criticized him so much, Carissa was very unconvinced, so she organized a large number of people to go to him for debate, and there were thousands of citizens before and after. Where had he seen so many scholars flocking to the scene, he was so frightened that he immediately fled. ”
When Sui Xiong heard this, he couldn't help laughing.
If only the gamers on Earth could be so strong!
