Chapter 35: I'll Show You a Secret
"What do you mean?" Mr. Sa asked: "Isn't that a well-written plot?" ”
Catching sheep: "There is no plot in this game that cannot be changed in theory, and it was mentioned in the article "Research on the Possibility of Preservation and Construction Plans in the Neutral Theater" that the emergence of scorching mountains is actually a lose-lose situation. ”
Mr. Sa was puzzled: "Why is it a lose-lose?" Isn't it normal to come out of the novice village again when the player level is reached? Besides, we didn't lose anything......"
Teacher Xia: "You haven't read that article, it's more troublesome to explain, but I ask you so."
"If the local reputation you accumulated at the lower ranks is not ruined or 'outdated', but will continue to increase in value as you become stronger, is that considered a win?"
"Of course it's a win!"
Mr. Xia: "Yes, that article gives this example: what will happen if the McKara Mountains are defended by the player and built as a base area? You compare what kind of life we lived afterward, don't get involved in too much reality, and think about it as a game character. ”
Mr. Sa fell into deep thought.
He served as a trainee hunter for more than half a month, brushing the prestige of the Lord's Mansion.
Then the light fell from the sky, and the mountains of Maikala were burned into a scorching valley.
Later, rescue teams from various countries arrived, and a group of like-minded hunter players were recruited by the Emerald Leaf Court from the Whispering Forest.
They started with the basics of standing guard, patrolling, and delivering letters, and were later reorganized and sent to the Blighted Marks to fight the corrupted monsters.
If you stand from the player's point of view, it's nothing more than a different place to farm monsters and level up to do tasks.
But if you bring in the perspective of NPCs, isn't this just filling with human lives?
It seems to be really miserable.
"But that's too far-fetched, isn't it? Isn't this a parallel time and space? He wondered.
"No, it has a basis, Nash equilibrium."
"Rational people will choose the optimal solution, but doing both the optimal solution may lead to a lose-lose situation."
"For example, in the situation you see right in front of you, do you think Heine's choice is reasonable in terms of results?"
Mr. Sa immediately agreed: "This is too reasonable. The prestige of the manor and the lord's mansion has been brushed up, and he actually made friends with the tail king, and now he can even swagger into the manor to get the clue of the withered bow. ”
"But what if you go back to the beginning and think about it from the player's point of view?"
"This ......"
Mr. Sa was silent.
Fourth-level paladins, the surrounding NPCs won't make a move.
Their only ally is a necromancer who has lost its blood golem......
The most reasonable option, of course, is not to make a move.
Catching the Sheep: "It seems that you also thought that from our perspective, this battle should not have happened at all. First of all, there is no chance of winning, and secondly, it is no good to win, Osewell's body is there, who dares to pick it up?
"Actually, that group of vassals also thinks the same, they all have their own trade-offs. From a rational point of view, the best solution is to get close to the alien race and turn to Shikoku, and the result is to sit back and watch the mountains be destroyed, and everything is over.
"As for the server opening formation, although I haven't experienced it, I'm also a player and know how to choose. Looking at Heine's many options now, the player can definitely do better than him, but the result? Players don't choose that way at all, which is why Scorching Mountain was born. ”
Mr. Sa sighed.
"Alas...... Now think about it, you're right.
"In fact, the farm's energy storage well was discovered the next day, and the player's self-healing speed in the mine was accelerated, and the monsters would also lose blood by themselves, so everyone rushed over to kill the blood beasts and carrion corpses.
"Later, this incident alarmed the Lord's Mansion, and they sent someone to investigate, but the NPC was blocked by the player, and then it was gone, and now I think it's probably because Donald got in the way.
"And career options...... You also said that the NPCs fell to the four countries, who can be more thorough than the players? After all, there are many tasks and rich rewards over there, who cares about the two jujubes in Ebony Town? If you think about it, this novice village is really ruined in our hands. ”
Catching the sheep hurriedly said: "That's not going to be Mr. Sa, just reflect a little, don't judge yourself, it's just a game." ”
"Well, not for me."
Mr. Sa smiled bitterly.
I usually don't see him feel so emotional, but once it starts, he can't stop.
"It's good if you don't know, but now it's good to know...... It's not a good taste.
"I have a strong sense of substitution when I play this game, and I have defended the lord when many people scolded him.
"Later, when I was displaced, I was taken in by the Green Leaf Court, and I was so moved at the time, it's just a spiritual night elf, okay, I vowed to protect this family......
"Although it was sent later, this kind of ...... You know the feeling of 'as long as people are around'? ”
The two echoed in unison: "I understand, I understand, we understand Mr. Sa too well." ”
Mr. Sa couldn't help but laugh and scolded: "You know a ...... Forget it, Heine is done, worthy of my big brother! ”
Teacher Xia: "What are you talking about, it's obviously Brother Yang!" Heine? It's just a reckless man! Will he step on the devotion? Can he hit a T? ”
Catching sheep: "Ah, yes, yes......"
…
Heine listened to the words of the three of them, and unconsciously hooked the corners of his mouth.
I have always insisted on the initiative and had the desired effect.
Like themselves, they began to think from a standpoint.
This means that they are also starting to integrate into the world.
But it also made him more and more curious about the article.
……
George soon returned, examining Olsewell's body before embracing Heine with excitement on his face.
Then he walked over to the group of worried people.
After a brief conversation, George's face quickly turned cloudy, and he was even angry.
But this time instead of jumping and roaring, he suppressed his anger.
An assassination, a betrayal, a finger in the face and an insult.
Coupled with the declining and vanity of this group of people now.
He's growing at a pace that's visible to the naked eye.
He had understood the situation of his father, his grandfather, and many others.
"I will, ladies and gentlemen."
George took a deep breath and calmly replied:
"I will keep the body of the Knight of Olsewell well until the people of the Eternal Dawn come.
"I will write a letter of apology, apologizing to Eternal Dawn and making it clear that you have nothing to do with this matter, and that I am bent on doing it.
"If your business and industry are affected, I will bear all the losses."
"Time will tell if you choose wisely."
The old mage concluded, looking at Heine's side.
"As for this ......"
"I understand that I should put him in prison and wait for the Eternal Dawn to be disposed of, right, Master Naga?"
George asked with a non-smirk.
Naga's face froze, and then he dismissed the thought.
"No, I'm just glad you have such a loyal retainer."
……
When it got dark, the farce finally came to an end.
In preparation for tomorrow's Day of Mercy, many people are busy until late at night.
When Heine was called to the study by the lord, the entire lord's house was lit up.
George seemed to have drunk a lot of wine, and his face was drunk, but his eyes were calm.
As soon as he entered the door, he said loudly:
"You've done a great job today, Heine, and I'm very, very, very happy with you!"
"Here's what I'm supposed to do."
"Don't say those kind words, Heine, although we haven't known each other for a long time, I know that we are the same kind of people."
He stared at Heine, his eyes burning.
"Remember the day you told me about the Haunted Farm......
"Actually, you already knew about the activities of the Golden People, and deliberately asked me to investigate there, right?"
Heine was shocked.
It's a good thing he didn't bring the skeletons with him.
George saw through the fact that none of the three guys could see through it.
Seeing that he didn't answer, George smiled:
"I don't blame you, Heine, I don't blame you, I thank you!
"You helped me tear off the hypocritical face of Eternal Dawn and drive away Donald!"
George staggered to his feet suddenly.
He slapped hard at the corner of the huge portrait behind him, and the piece suddenly dented.
A heavy mechanism sounded, and a door appeared in the corner.
George looked back at Heine with a frenzy in his eyes:
"Follow me, my ally, it's time to show you our greatest secret!"
