Unfolding the red dust fire, Fang Cheng began to listen to the voices of the players at this time.

"The more I played, the more confused I became. I'm obviously a detective, why can't I solve a single case? ”

"My role is painful, and I can understand the pain. There's nothing more painful than knowing that there's something hidden here, but you don't even have a clue to it. ”

"Who am I and where am I? I want to go on a killing spree, but who can I kill? ”

The red dust and fire of "Wonderful Life" have turned into a chaotic milky white, and this is also within Fang Cheng's plan.

Based on his previous experience, he switched his approach and made his style of play more varied.

Since players love to hunt for Easter eggs, make them part of your plan.

I make you think you've found an easter egg, but it's still under my control, and when you find out that the original path is a more interesting path, my heart to ask can be accomplished.

Looking at the milky white red dust fire, Fang Cheng felt that it was quite interesting to fight wits and courage with players like this.

opened station B, and Fang Cheng found that the videos related to "Wonderful Life" are also increasing.

Previously, the relevant videos in the game were the fastest gameplay of each class, as well as the preferences and specialties of each NPC in it.

Now, though, the video has become a way for each class to inspire Hardmode.

Through some detailed adjustments, each class character can perceive the anomalies of this world, and then sink deeper and deeper into the strange atmosphere, and begin to be confused.

After the confusion has accumulated enough, the player will fall into the confusion with his own character, and then realize that it is better to play normally.

Feeling that the situation was already okay, Fang Cheng decided to start the next step.

"Huang Ping, is the ranking system okay?" Fang Cheng asked.

"That's it." Huang Ping nodded, "But boss, are you sure you only add one racing leaderboard?" I don't think the focus of players is here anymore. ”

"It's okay, just a race leaderboard. Make one for each class, so that the player can focus on the race. ”

After all, a lot of confusion has accumulated, and it's time for players to return to the key point of the joy of ignorance.

Soon, after a small update, the racing leaderboard was launched.

After discovering the update to Wonderful Life, players excitedly updated the game, but after discovering that the update was a leaderboard, they were even more confused.

I thought that this update would be a supplement to Hardmode, making it a little clearer for players to play this mode.

But no one thought that the updated content would be this.

We haven't even cleared Hardmode yet, so why don't you let us race?

This leaderboard is basically for ordinary players, but with high difficulty, who will challenge the normal difficulty!

You are an insult to our game skills, you know!

But right away, players felt that speedrunning was actually quite fun.

Leaderboards also served as a diversion, with some players giving up on continuing to explore the game's puzzles and starting to chase their way up the leaderboards.

For speedrunning, a variety of new and efficient gameplay methods have been discovered, and more game mechanics and collocations have been revealed because of speedrunning, making the game more diverse.

And some professions exist for speedrunning, which makes the speedrunning of these professions particularly ornamental.

For example, the Angler's speedrun is to catch a hundred kinds of fish, and in order to achieve this goal, players need to know where all the fish come from, know their habits, and then use different items to match them, and finally achieve the goal of catching all the fish.

The anglers were hooked when they saw the video, and the non-anglers also found that the first player had an amazing hand speed and awareness, even if they didn't chase the puzzles, they were extremely entertaining, and they found that even without the puzzles, there was a lot of interesting content in this game.

Looking at the red dust and fire that had been transferred, Fang Cheng was very satisfied.

As soon as his combination punch came out, the players finally understood what they wanted to express, making him feel that his arrangement this time was not in vain.

The problems that may arise have been curbed by themselves, and the game feeling of "Wonderful Life" has approached the feeling that they want to give players, and it is also very suitable for Fang Cheng's ideas.

Although there are still some hardcore players who are constantly pursuing the truth behind it, there are very few of them.

As long as their numbers are small enough to a certain extent, then they can preach for themselves.

Thinking of this, Fang Cheng couldn't help but laugh softly, feeling that his great ascension was right in front of him.

Unlike Fang Cheng, who was satisfied, Qian Xiaohao and the others were still studying these puzzles diligently.

Together with Eric, he joined a group called "Hardcore Gamers", and the players in this group are out-and-out hardcore players, and there are many program bosses in it, who are rumored to unpack the game for a rumor, and then test the rumored powerhouse at the program level.

Their goal is to debunk all the urban rumors in the game and make the secrets of the game less and less every day.

But even if it was them, they also folded in front of "Wonderful Life".

At present, the anchor line has been abandoned by them, and the Avengers route is the closest to the truth that has been verified so far.

In this career line, players take on the role of a falsely accused detective who wanders through a large vice city in order to clear his name, mediates with various forces, and discovers the truth about his own false accusations by visiting various people.

This class line is also considered to be the most exciting, and the player has to constantly move between the various factions, and the feeling of dancing on the tightrope is addictive.

In normal mode, players can get help from a lot of people, bright dancers, police detectives who are cold on the outside and hot on the inside, gangsters, and beggars on the side of the road...... These people will become good helpers for the player, and then help the character complete his revenge.

However, once in Hardmode, these people will disappear one by one, and the enemies in the game will become even more hateful.

Even if the boss in normal mode is defeated, there will be more clues that the real culprit is someone else, and the player's character will get caught in a web and get lost in the sprawling city.

When Qian Xiaohao entered the group, he saw that the people in the group had made some breakthroughs last night, and someone had already put their latest progress in the group, but with it came more puzzles.

Opening the documents in the group, Qian Xiaohao found that the unknown puzzles had accumulated to thousands, but they couldn't even solve the original puzzles.

After reading this document, Qian Xiaohao returned to the group and found that another big man had announced the suspension.

[No, these puzzles give me a headache and I can't continue.] I'm going to play Racing Mode for a while, and I'll talk about it for a while. 】

The other party did not leave the group, but the other party should not come back for a while.

Searching for these truths is an unpleasant process, and many people suspect that Hardmode is an infinite mode that has no end at all.

The player will only keep looping through the appearance and solution of the puzzle, but will never reach the truth.

Or rather, there is no truth to this game at all.

And if you return to the original normal mode at this time, you will find that the normal mode is unexpectedly fun, and the tormented soul finally walked to its own oasis at this time, and it will be difficult to come back.

Qian Xiaohao: [Another one, I feel like everyone has started to play Racing mode recently, and not many people play Hardmode anymore.] 】

Erik: [It's the same on my side, my audience told me to stop playing Hard Mode, saying that there was no end to this mode, and that they were tired of watching it. Qian Xiaohao, do you want to give up too? 】

Qian Xiaohao: [I won't be for the time being, I feel that unlocking the secrets of this game has become my daily routine, and I am ready until I can't stand it anymore.] 】

Erik: [I'm the same, I feel like I'm not going to solve these questions, it's always a bit incomplete.] It's just that it's really a bit tiring. 】

They were the first to discover Hardmode, and if they couldn't beat Hardmode, they would always feel like the problem wasn't completely over and would always hang in their minds.

After exchanging yesterday's experience with each other, Qian Xiaohao called the maid, and then logged in to the game through the game cabin together.

They have ended their single-player mode and can now play together in multiplayer.

According to their previous discoveries, in multiplayer, when multiple players choose the same class, their main quests will merge with each other to become the same main story.

All choose the Avengers, who appear in Vice City and meet together in a roadside café.

It's also the easiest place to trigger Hardmode, as if you write a mysterious symbol somewhere, the eyes of the people around you will change and a new story will unfold.

After completing this pre-task, the three of them ordered a cup of coffee, but none of them spoke.

The next process, they have gone through many times, nothing more than contact with a mysterious NPC, and then go to talk to a guy who talks very riddles, and then complete one task after another, kill in the mysterious laboratory to face their clones, and chat with the guy who looks exactly like them by the way.

The process is already very clear, and it is very clear where I will die in the end, and there is no passion for playing.

Pointing to a place not far away, the maid said: "In normal mode, there will be a very cute girl there, and there will be an achievement in sending her flowers more than ten times, and then you can send her clothes." There is an item in the game that is the Emperor's new clothes, and when you give them to her, she will scold you for being perverted, but if you go to her house at night, you will find that the so-called Emperor's new clothes are actually mosaics. ”

Qian Xiaohao lay on the table and asked weakly, "What are you talking about?" ”

"I would say that I feel like normal mode is more fun than hard mode. As long as you don't trigger this mess, then it doesn't exist. Don't you think it's a wonderful thing? ”

Looking at the exhausted maid, Qian Xiaohao knew that the other party had also reached the limit.

After all, it's a hassle to sort out the puzzles, and the mysteries seem to be solvable, but in fact they are completely clueless, making one wonder if there is no truth at all.

The words of giving up were on his lips, but he couldn't say it.

It's rare for him to be so attentive to a game, but in the end it is such an ending, and he is really unwilling.

Eric turned the coffee cup in front of him and said helplessly, "Let's be honest, I didn't play Hardmode last night. ”

"Huh?" Qian Xiaohao raised his head and looked at Eric suspiciously.

"My dad came back, and I played Fighter mode online with him once. I have to say, after playing hard mode, and then playing normal mode, you will find that normal mode is unexpectedly fun. I used to think that normal mode was too monotonous, but now I find that monotony is fine at all. ”

"It's okay, I don't blame you." Qian Xiaohao sighed, "It seems that we have ended here, and we will simply ...... Wait a minute! ”

In a flash of inspiration, Qian Xiaohao felt as if he had discovered something.

Facing the maid, he asked, "Do you remember the incident when I was playing the anchor before, and that female college student lost control?" ”

"Remember, what's wrong?"

"Why is she out of control?"

"There is no follow-up mission, so we can only force a necessary mission. This is part of the game mechanics...... I'll it! ”

The maid sat up suddenly, then looked at Qian Xiaohao and said, "I see! ”

Eric also understood, looked at Qian Xiaohao and said, "You are really a genius, why didn't we think of it!" ”

Qian Xiaohao's method is actually very simple, that is, to cut.

Chop off all the side quests on an NPC, and he will only be able to perform the most necessary tasks in the end.

And the game's mechanics force NPCs to perform quests, so it will happen that NPCs will use all means to complete their only quest.

Spreading out the notes they had taken with each other, they found that they had summed up a lot of important NPCs in their past explorations.

However, these NPCs all have different quests attached to them, and they don't play the main quest until the player completes some quests, which leads to more and more puzzles to complete.

After understanding the plan of action, the maid asked, "Then how do we cut the branches?" ”

"It's very simple, if the NPC corresponding to the branch line is gone, won't the branch line automatically disappear?" Qian Xiaohao said immediately.

"You mean, those NPCs?" Eric asked.

"It looks like that's all there is to it. We'll need to calculate the relevant side of each NPC and then reduce the other person's quest to just the main story, which can be a cumbersome process, but I'm sure we can do it. Alright, let's get ready to do it. ”

After drinking their respective coffees, the three of them stood up.

They changed themselves into black suits, put on sunglasses, loaded their pistols and opened the safe, and walked towards their goal.
