Chapter 13: The Three Guilds
Lin Qi turned on his old-fashioned second-hand computer and began to write his thesis.
Lin Qi has always had a relatively outstanding learning ability. The dissertation itself is not without difficulty, but if you want the professor to give a good evaluation and be valuable for future work, the content written should not just be about finding and elaborating on the problem. Competitive thinking and solutions need to be written.
Lin Qi remembered the breakthrough settings in the game "Soul Domain", many of which are not only COME can be done, but because they violate the logic of commercialization, they will be considered impossible to implement.
So which settings of "Soulsland" are irreplaceable by traditional games?
I think it can help the player grow.
Recently, COME games have become popular as confrontational MOBAs, which are perfect for co-op among friends. In MOBA games, characters rely on stats and skills, which are often so powerful that they are definitely not mastered by the player themselves.
However, the game encourages players to replace skills with their own operations, which is the biggest difference from other games. Even spell classes require movement and dodge. It is obvious who is more powerful than a non-moving glass cannon and a nimble missile.
Lin Qi completed the framework of the paper and formulated his ideas and arguments. What is missing now is the validation of the arguments. So...... The object of verification is there.
But it's already late at night, so you can't trouble people now, wait for tomorrow......
At the same time, in a mansion in the capital. A young girl is lying on her side on a couch with a virtual call screen in front of her. The screen is divided into two parts, left and right, with a middle-aged man with slightly chubby cheeks on the left and a middle-aged woman in pajamas on the right.
"That's it, the beast tide will get stronger on average three times. The increase in strength is basically the same as the increase in our level. If this continues, we may not be able to carry it with all our troops. I don't want to talk about the importance of Yingjie Town, in order to reduce the pressure, I hope you can send a mobile force to Yingjie Town first. On the one hand, we can support us, and on the other hand, we can feel the change in intensity.
For the configuration. The brawlers of the gauntlet flow are indeed becoming more and more unbearable. I will carry out the transformation of the giant shield stream, and this is still voluntary. President Wang will see if he can support a few shields. ”
The middle-aged woman nodded.
"That's easy to say. Do you have any suggestions for the deployment of the support team? ”
"In a group of five, one giant shield, two feather warriors, and two hermits."
"Oh? Samurai and way do not use? ”
The blind bear nodded.
"The samurai are enough, and any more will increase the pressure on the hermit to heal. Fang Shi has spiritual power limitations, and the attack distance cannot be too far, but in this kind of positional warfare, it is restricted. The next time I get stronger, I estimate that there will be about 30 more monsters, and you also have a number in mind. ”
The middle-aged woman asked again.
"What is the level of the support team?"
"Let's come to level 20 or so for the time being, I'd rather be low than high. We don't know exactly how the Beast Tide will get stronger, but if it's dynamically adjusted according to the level of the participants, we'd rather slow it down. ”
"According to what you say, is it possible to keep the difficulty level 20 all the time?"
"Possibly. I'll take a look at this. Although we have 3 people over level 20 in this beast tide, there is also 1 level 10 and one level 5. More likely is the maximum level cap for participating players. I'll adjust this as well. ”
The middle-aged man, who had not opened his mouth all this time, suddenly spoke.
"Miss Xia, call me next time there is a beast tide. I'll go over and have a look, too. ”
The blind bear was a little surprised, he didn't expect this big guy to be willing to go down in person, he usually didn't even participate in the activities of his guild.
"Why is Boss Gao interested this time?"
"I'm going to see the King of the North."
There was silence for a while in the communication, and no one was surprised by the statement of the man surnamed Gao, but it was a reasonable thing.
All players who have passed the closed beta will remember the unwilling expression of this man who once called for wind and rain in the game when he fell in front of the North King.
"Well, okay, I'll call you then."
The blind bear was the first to break the silence, but he couldn't find a better excuse than that.
"That's it for today, and I'll have to go to work tomorrow. I can't afford it. Bye-bye, both. ”
The middle-aged woman was the first to disconnect the call link.
"Well, I'll ...... first."
"Boss Gao! Wait a minute! ”
The blind bear called out to the man surnamed Gao.
"Huh? Looking for me or something? ”
The blind bear nodded.
"I remember hearing Boss Gao say that he had been doing e-sports for a while before?"
"Well, I've had a team, but the revenue is average. Later, I felt that it was more interesting to like to participate by myself. It's just that I'm old and can't keep up with my reaction speed. The MOBA genre can't be beaten. You ask this, are you interested in esports? ”
"Not really, you know my state. I would like to ask, have you ever heard of PZZ? ”
“PZZ? Talented esports teenager? Of course I've heard of this, and our team has fought against him. It's been many years since he announced his retirement, and it can't be compared...... I won a Grand Slam at a young age, and the reason for retiring was because there was no challenge, and the gap between people was too big. Still, you ask this is? ”
"I met a new person in the game today, his name is Po Bang."
"Oh, the one who got the first kill of the White Wolf King, he left the village. Do you think the name corresponds to PZZ? ”
"Hmm. Didn't care at first. Today's beast tide, he also participated. When I first met him, he was only level 4, and later he was promoted to level 5. This guy is new to the game, but he doesn't feel like a complete newcomer. But what kept my eye out for me was my knife, and he was inexplicably very interested in this kid. ”
"Knives! If you can make him interested, then this newcomer is a little interesting. What else would you like to know? ”
The blind bear pondered for a moment.
"Can you get his information? It doesn't have to be him, but I want to know about it. ”
"I'll give it a try, he's always been very low-key, and he doesn't necessarily get much. Speaking of that broken formation, what are you going to do with it? ”
"I just talked to him briefly and introduced the current state of the game, but I didn't invite him. He wanted to know how to choose the White Wolf King's equipment, and I asked him how he wanted to play the game, and guess what he said? ”
"If you ask, the answer should not be simple. It can't be a domination of the world, right? Hahaha!! ”
The man surnamed Gao laughed when he said it, this kind of ambition is unrealistic for him, let alone a newcomer.
"He said he wanted to be invincible."
“……”
The man surnamed Gao was silent for a moment and laughed.
"Hahaha! Interesting! Interesting! If this kid doesn't have a sick brain, he really has the ability! I think it's kind of funny! Did you invite him? If you don't want it, let it be given to me! ”
The blind bear smiled faintly and gave the man surnamed Gao a roll of his eyes.
"I knew that Boss Gao would say that, and I didn't invite him. Since he said that he wanted to be invincible, my little broken guild guarding the border fortress could not meet his needs. ”
The man surnamed Gao seemed to be even more excited, and kept rubbing his little hands.
"Good, good. Good girl, I got you as a favor brother. Isn't he only level 5? He should also participate in the next beast tide, and I will just go there when the time comes. If this person is really PZZ, that's interesting! Maybe his addition will bring the soul domain into a new era! ”
"Look at you, is it so exaggerated......
"Hey, girl, you don't understand. Now the MOBA genre is still the mainstream, and various e-sports players are not looking down on the soul domain at present. If that break is really PZZ, then do you think those people in the esports circle can still sit still? ”
The bear blind man thought of the consequences. If this person is really a talented esports teenager, then the people who come to challenge him will become a trend.
"Hey, girl, did you leave his contact information? Play back to the beast tide, what if he doesn't come? ”
The blind bear slapped his thigh.
"Oops, that's really forgot! I'll go back and tell the guild to keep an eye on it. ”
"Okay, please. Haha, I'm a little hot-blooded! ”
The two talked for a while before they dispersed.
The blind bear took a bite of the apple in his hand, and couldn't help but imagine the future.
The next day was Saturday, Lin Qi slept a lot, and after getting up, he wrote a paper for a while. Seeing that the time was already afternoon, he went to the Jingwu Restaurant.
He had been practicing swordsmanship in the game for several days, and he wanted to verify the results of his cultivation. By the way, let's see if the combat skills in the game can be used in reality.
trotted all the way, and after coming to the Jingwu Pavilion, he found that Fang Ju was not there. A young man with glasses greeted him.
"Hey! You came to see it last time, right? Preparing for a sword lesson today? ”
"Hey, yes. Xiaoju is not there? ”
"She's out today, and she may have to come back later. I'll talk about the same basic class, do you take my class first, or wait for Xiaoju next time? ”
"Everyone is here, as long as there is a class, anyone can teach."
Lin Qi doesn't care who is the coach, what he needs is to master more knowledge and ability as soon as possible.
"Well, good. I'm theoretical, and I'm not as good as Xiaoju in practice, but if it's just teaching, then I can still take it. To briefly introduce, my surname is Yan, Yan Xiaoshi. You can just call me Xiao Yan. ”
"Oh, Teacher Xiao Yan. Lin Qi, please advise. ”
Yan Xiaoshi took Lin Qi to the side and took two sets of swords and protective gear.
"Put on your gear first. Safety always comes first. ”
It was not the first time that Lin Qi had worn protective gear, and he had finished wearing it smoothly.
"You came early today, and it just so happened that the ring was empty, so you were lucky. Let's have fun on this. ”
Yan Xiaoshi walked to the small ring in the corner, climbed over the guardrail and walked up.
Lin Qi followed Yan Xiaoshi to the ring, but saw that he had already put on a posture to meet him.
"Let me see how good you are now."
Lin Qi looked at Yan Xiaoshi's posture, his horse steps sank, flat and steady, his arms were half-bent, and Changjian Feng pointed ahead.
(Doesn't seem like a good start...... Instead of that, it's better to try your hand at the battle first. )
Lin Qi flipped over the sword flower, put the long sword on his shoulder, and put on a starting gesture of continuous slashing.
Yan Xiaoshi watched Lin Qi pull out the sword flower, and felt a little disdainful in his heart.
(This hasn't even gotten started, and you're starting to play with bells and whistles?) )
Despite this, he struck a new defensive stance sideways.
Lin Qi saw Yan Xiaoshi's movements in his eyes. Combined with his sideways posture, he understood that Yan Xiaoshi was dealing with his own moves, and he couldn't help but admire in his heart.
Although the opponent has dealt with it, it is still necessary to be cautious about how to deal with it.
Lin Qi assessed the distance between himself and the other party and took a small step forward.
However, Yan Xiaoshi also took a step back.
Lin Qi was a little surprised, this opponent was so sharp. The distance between the two should be barely reached according to the sudden effect of the continuous slash, and if the other party reacts, then their own attack may fail. So to be on the safe side, he tried to take a step forward and close the distance between them.
I didn't expect Yan Xiaoshi to be so astute, and the gap in this small step could be judged.
(No, you can't think too much...... Concentrate on the first move first. )
Lin Qi refocused on his moves, and since the distance might not be enough, he tried to use footwork to adjust.
After adjusting his breathing, Lin Qi looked forward and met Yan Xiaoshi's eyes.
A faint smile.
Lin Qi took a step forward suddenly, narrowing the distance between him and Yan Xiaoshi in one breath, and the long sword in his hand slashed down diagonally.
Yan Xiaoshi calmly took a step back, raised his long sword to meet Lin Qi's attack. The long sword crossed an arc, just defusing Lin Qi's attack, which was quite interesting to the feeling of Tai Chi unloading.
However, the direction of this unloading force happened to be the direction of Lin Qi's original move, Lin Qi struggled to balance his body, and swept out horizontally with his backhand.
Yan Xiaoshi took a step back and dodged Lin Qi's sweep.
Lin Qi's footsteps were just solid, and he couldn't follow up any further, and even if he attacked again, he could only swing in the air. So Lin Qi also interrupted the last blow and stopped his offensive.
