Chapter 86 Guide to upgrading the system (first update)
Yuanchu Altar.
After these days of observation, Qi Sheng discovered that the live broadcast room opened by the player "Li Zheng" of the Gan Emperor Group has become the permanent number one on the live broadcast popularity list.
Many players will enter Li Zheng's live broadcast room during the resurrection cooldown time to watch and eat.
During the daily meal group chat, there was even more barrage, and the live broadcast room was extremely lively.
The brave performance of Li Zheng and other Gandi players, as well as their crazy hunger-fighting tactics, earned them the nickname: Hungry Wolf Group on the forum.
Their performance was in stark contrast to Lu Xing, who had retreated and given up.
There are also enthusiastic melon-eaters who have made a batch of emoticons for them.
For example: Stop eating (kick over the table), hunger training begins (the back view of the Gan Emperor group entering the cafeteria), a macho elbow attack, I am the king of the cafeteria, stay up late and eat crazily (players of the Gan Emperor group close the door and eat), Bang, the food is gone (the new student from the Four Eyes tribe looked at the plate being knocked over to the ground with a desperate expression), wait.
These screenshots of the live broadcast room, accompanied by text, have become popular resident emoticon pictures of the same level as the Explorer series of emoticons and the God of Wealth series of emoticons on the forum.
The difference is that the emoticons of Li Zheng and others are generally used when publishing positive content.
The God of Wealth series and Explorer series are generally used in negative content reviews.
What makes Qi Sheng a little regretful is that he still cannot know the specific situation of the Nichao Legion through Li Zheng and others, as well as who Nichao is and where he is now.
The first training camp is just one part of the huge territory of the Nitide Legion, and it is impossible to trace the specific location of Nitide.
However, Qi Sheng is not in a hurry about this issue.
On the days when Li Zheng and others entered the training camp, the growth rate of the player army also increased significantly.
During this period, the terrifying black tide was raging again, and he issued another round of game qualifications.
Now the total number of players has reached 17523, the sacrifice power income has increased during this period, and everything is developing in the established direction.
The biggest gain is undoubtedly the successful containment of three new origin monsters.
These three animals were originally hunted and collected by players in the "Bone Buried Wilderness" north of the Earth Fissure Furnace. They are:
[Slowness (the beginning of the third generation)]:
Introduction to Yuanchu's characteristics: Domain-type characteristics. After being released, a domain is generated centered on itself. Targets entering the domain are dragged by the power of the domain, and the action efficiency is limited (mental power is continuously consumed during the release period. The coverage range can be adjusted freely, the larger the coverage range. , the higher the mental energy consumption continues).
The monster with this characteristic is a 3-meter-tall black stone with various complex spiritual patterns engraved on its surface. Its hunting level is level 34. It moves slowly in battle. The released domain ability also causes "slow motion" to players who are close to it. .
It was the "God King", the president of the Shentang Guild, who led the guild members to win through a protracted battle that lasted for 2 hours. During this period, in order to maintain the battle consumption, they spent nearly 1,500 sacrificial power on purchasing potions in the mall.
[Ben Lei (the beginning of the second generation)]:
Introduction to Yuanchu's characteristics (active): Continuously consumes mental power to turn into a lightning ball, causing electric shock damage to the target in contact with it, with a physical paralysis effect (the specific paralysis effect is affected by the target's physical strength, the higher the physical strength, the lower the impact)
The monster with this characteristic is a ball of lightning surrounded by arcs, and its hunting level is level 23.
The containment location is an area full of animal bones to the west of the Boneyard Wilderness.
The hunting battle process was very fierce. The original monster of Benleiyuan was called a melee nemesis. It would be paralyzed by electric shock as long as it came into close contact. In the end, it was difficult to contain it by a group of individual players through remote consumption tactics.
Squad players are also rewarded handsomely.
[Roaring (The Origin of a Generation)]:
Introduction to Yuanchu's characteristics (active): Centered on itself, it releases a cone-shaped sonic offensive outwards, causing continuous mental shock damage to the target. After the damage exceeds the target's critical point, the target will fall into mental disorder and dizziness. Wait for negative status.
The original monster with this characteristic looks very much like a brown bear in the real world. It has red and blue hair. It is extremely large and reaches five meters in length. When it stands up, it is full of oppression, like an iron tower blocking the front. Its hunting The level is level 39.
In addition to having strong physical fitness and terrifying healing ability, the most terrifying thing is that the roar will spread forward in a cone shape. Players affected by the roar will fall into a state of top-heavy and confused confusion, and completely lose their combat effectiveness in a short period of time. .
The process of containing Howler was extremely difficult.
The 18-man team that initially discovered this origin monster was all killed shortly after fighting Roar. Afterwards, a large number of players who came after hearing the news launched wave after wave of offensives by relaying life-heaping methods. Roar with all your strength to kill and contain.
The successful containment of these three new life souls has also added a lot of new combinations to the Xingmai School's construction.
Especially the "slow" life soul is regarded by players as the strongest life soul in the version.
The single test effect of Slow Life Soul seems to be suitable for melee players. It can delay the target's action efficiency and improve their own melee attack efficiency.
However, in subsequent tests, players found that domain-type life souls are more powerful when used in combination with other legal system life souls in their original form.
For example, Slow + Bone Fire + Breath + Restraint.
In the main form, the four abilities are combined and released to generate a field of ink flames centered on itself and covering outwards, causing continuous group damage to targets in the field, and all targets within the coverage area will be slowed down and restrained. Characteristic effects.
Or use Thunder + Slowness + Breathing + Restraint to create an arc-wrapped field centered on yourself, with astonishing lethality.
But the only drawback of this combination is that it consumes too much mental power and covers a radius of 20 meters. Even the level 15 air-eating life soul could not last for more than 1 minute in the test, and it would be empty of mana in a short time.
Apart from the problem of excessive consumption, the performance of Slow Life Soul in the test was perfect.
Let the bound life soul that was originally at the bottom rise up.
Originally it could only control a single target's restraint, but when combined with the Slow Field, the effect became a large-scale group control, and the strength made a qualitative leap.
But at this stage, most players only use it during testing.
The price of the Slow Life Soul at 4,000 sacrificial power points and the short battery life are always problems that players cannot get around.
At least until the legal life soul can provide higher mental strength and faster mental recovery speed, the slow life soul cannot be popularized, and only a small number of individual players without a team are willing to buy inlays.
The three newly adopted souls have also made the containment of Qidian a hot topic.
The reason is related to the newly collected life soul "Ben Lei".
The special effect of running thunder is to transform into a thunder ball, causing electric shock damage to the target in contact. The lethality is stronger than the ink flame characteristic of bone fire.
However, after using the special ability, the player's action efficiency is slow and the player can only contact the target by rolling.
The shortcoming of insufficient mobility makes the player group not very interested in Ben Lei Life Soul.
Until the player "Dark Night is Coming" provided a new idea on the forum.
That is the preliminary star pulse combination concept of Yufeng (Qidian) + Moyan (Bone Fire) + Qi, which completely ignited players' enthusiasm for Benlei Life Soul.
The performance of this combination in the demo video amazed all players.
The night is coming, which transformed into a lightning ball. With the blessing of Yufeng Life Soul, it flew in the air at an extremely fast speed. Then it released the characteristics of the ink flame, and immediately transformed into a "thunder and lightning fireball". After contacting the simulated monster in the test scene, the monster's body surface The electric arc swirled, and then ignited into raging ink-colored flames, and test monsters fell in pieces wherever they passed.
The night is approaching and this star pulse combination is named "High Speed Electric Fireball".
Super high movement speed, coupled with the dual elemental strikes of thunder and fire, coupled with the continuous mental power of breathlessness.
The strength has surpassed all star pulse combinations that players are using.
Many players followed suit and went to test it, and every player who experienced this combination praised it repeatedly.
This star pulse combination completely solves the problem of poor mobility of the magic soul.
Qidian, which has been dormant for a long time, has once again become a target in the eyes of many players.
But this problem has never been resolved.
Unlike other Origin monsters that players have taken in, Qidie is very cautious and cunning, and will fly high at any slightest sign of trouble. It cannot be captured by gang fights or traps.
What makes players eager for the wind-controlling soul crazy is that Lu Xing, who carries the hope of the whole village, is unwilling to participate in the war at all.
He put on a posture that he would never come out of the mountain until his magical skills were accomplished, and scattered his team everywhere to hunt evil spirits and monsters every day, ignoring all kinds of persuasion from forum players.
During this period, some players also thought about finding a player with a weak character like Lu Xing to take in Qidian on Lu Xing's behalf.
But the problem is that players who are willing to participate in the war cannot be timid at heart, and Qidi is not willing to fight against such players at all.
Perhaps this was the reason why Qi Die chose Lu Xing.
Players cannot find an effective way to contain Yufeng Life Soul for the time being. In addition to revenue, Qi Sheng also discovered a series of potential problems in the game settings during these days of observation.
One of the issues that needs to be solved most is the coverage of the ability to guide clones.
In the eyes of players, the role of the guidance clone is to provide target analysis information and provide consultation service answers for various function settings.
But in Qi Sheng's eyes, in addition to the above two functions, the guidance clone also has three hidden settings: space teleportation, extraction of all things, and purification.
In terms of space teleportation, when players contain original monsters or perform remote transactions, the guidance clone is responsible for completing the task.
In terms of extraction of all things and energy purification, when the player kills monsters and evil spirits (when destroying the stable life structure of the target), the extraction function of all things is released by the guide clone, extracting the flesh, flesh and energy after the death of monsters and evil spirits, and then injects them into the player's body after purification and transformation. , and take 30% and send it back to Dizhong Village.
Although the guidance clone's intelligent processing system is controlled by the guidance body, it is more like a branch node of the challenger system, integrating various functions.
Including Qi Sheng's observation of the player's situation, in addition to the player's own perspective, the perspective of the guidance clone is also often used.
It can be said that guiding clones is a key part of the Challenger system connecting players.
But now, the strength of the guidance clone is not suitable for players.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
These are created together with the player's body to guide the clone to extract the killed monsters and evil spirits. The coverage range is about 150 meters in radius, including the analysis range, which is also 150 meters.
At this stage, the strength of players using the magic-based output star pulse combination has increased rapidly, and the target range of the output attack is getting wider and wider.
Especially the perceptive long-range strike flow of Eagle-headed Demon + Bone Fire.
Players with the highest level of this genre can already accurately hit targets 200 meters away through sensory vision.
This leads to an embarrassing problem.
The target has been killed by the player, but the ability to extract everything cannot cover the killed target. The player needs to enter the range before the kill prompt will appear and then feedback will be obtained.
This issue clearly needs to be resolved as soon as possible.
As the player's level continues to increase, the strike distance and range of the released ability will gradually increase.
The super-wide coverage strike of the avatar "Meteor and Fire Shower" described in the forum description can be completely realized.
If the intensity of guidance cannot keep up, it will seriously affect the player's growth efficiency.
How to solve this problem, Qi Sheng has already thought of a way.
The guidance clone is composed of the extended tentacles of the Challenger system. There is no sacrificial power consumption for the use of the regular ability, but it requires sacrificial power to be strengthened by continuing to extend the tentacles.
At this stage, the creation cost of each guidance clone is 300 sacrificial power points (with a coverage radius of 150 meters). This cost is already included when creating the monster body (1000) for the player.
According to the guidance test, every 50-meter coverage increase requires 100 sacrificial power points.
In other words, spending money can solve the problem of the strength of the guidance clone.
But Qi Sheng decided to pass this part of the expenses on to the players.
Although it is his job as the behind-the-scenes controller to improve the system, it is obviously more appropriate to leave the matter of sacrificial energy to the players.
After repeatedly testing the new settings with the guide, Qi Sheng decided to officially release the "Guide Update System".
That afternoon.
The update reminder rang in the minds of all players.
The player forum also updated an official certified post detailing the update content at the same time.
[Challenger Tips (Update Tips): The game is about to be updated to version 1.5. This update will add a new function "Guideline Strengthening" to the function panel. The specific content is as follows]:
Posted by: Guidance (Official Certification)
Introduction to the Guidance Strengthening System: Consuming sacrifice power can increase the strength of guidance and obtain more unlocked functions.
Guide Lv1 (initial):
Function introduction:
1. Analyze target information and provide detailed introduction feedback.
2. After the player kills evil spirits, monsters and other beings, the player is assisted to extract the flesh, flesh and energy of the hunted target and convert them into life soul evolution points and sacrifice power rewards. The coverage radius is 150 meters. Each time the level is upgraded, 100 points of sacrifice power are spent. Each time After upgrading, the coverage area can be increased to 50 meters.
Guidance Lv10 additional function: Customize the guidance shape.
Detailed introduction: After the guide is upgraded to level 10, the custom appearance modification function can be unlocked. Players can adjust the guide’s facial features through the custom interface, and add details such as hairstyles and accessories to create a unique guide display image (player You can choose to display it externally or set it to be visible only to yourself).
(Tip: This update is an online update, so players do not need to go offline to wait.)
……
After the update was released, it sparked heated discussions among players on the forum.
The number of replies to the official update post soon exceeded 1,000.
Evil Butcher: Damn, it turns out that the guide has a hidden setting of coverage. I asked why the target guide that is far away cannot give analysis information. It needs to be closer to successfully analyze... I looked at the balance of the sacrifice, and it felt heartbreaking. .
Raging Chicken: Hahaha, let you play magic all day long. The magic genre is the son of the version. Now there is an extra cost. Are you happy? It doesn’t matter to us in close combat. The 150-meter radius coverage is completely sufficient, at least when we can fly and escape. , it must be enough to smash a mountain with one knife (arrogant face when moving bricks.jpg)
Dark night is coming: I discovered this hidden setting three days ago. I am currently playing in the legal system. After the ink flame fireball is accurately guided to kill the target beyond a certain distance, I have to run over to get the prompt and success of the hunt. As a reward, I thought this meant that the core settings would not change. Unexpectedly, a guidance upgrade system has been released, and there is one more point for krypton sacrificial power (eat dirt and lift the table.jpg)
The chubby little hamster: Wow, the game finally has a customization function. I really like this setting. Let me think of some guidelines on how to customize the shape of a hamster. I have to give up the water polo form. The little devil form? Angel form? Suddenly, there are so many ideas in my mind, which is very exciting.
The Dark Land is so fun: When I saw the guide upgrade system online, I suddenly thought of a question. When will the dog official launch the skin and dress-up function? You can also buy it with cash. They will design a few sets of handsome clothing styles for us. I'm tired of wearing the black cloth clothes that come with the system. This rag can't complement my handsome face at all.
Lightning Five Continuous Whip: I’m also looking forward to the fashion function. I don’t know if the official comment dog can see it. I only have a black cloth suit, which is too simple. As a master who controls the clone thunder technique, the black cloth suit is too simple. I'm so cool, I strongly request a black robe with magic stripes.
Gamer: I think black cloth is very good. I don’t care whether it has fashionable features or not. I won’t buy it anyway (funny.jpg)
Is this a beaver? Reply to the game bricklayer: Hey, busy people still have time to go to the forum to read posts. I checked the time and I will have to start a group fight again later (group fight countdown.jpg)
……
Regarding the content of this update, players actively participated in the discussion on the official post.
In addition to the upgrade function of the guide, many players focused on the fashion function, saying that the clothing in the game is too monotonous and there are no other options except the black cloth that comes with the system.
I hope that the official can introduce some beautiful costumes for players to choose and use. Many players have even expressed their willingness to spend extra money for costumes.
However, the fashion function has no practical significance in Qi Sheng's eyes. Whether it is present or not does not affect the player's strength.
As for the cash recharge mentioned by players, it is even more useless.
Credit currency is essentially just a string of numbers, which can only be used within the Human Alliance. It is not recognized by other races outside the Human Federation, let alone in the monster world.
In contrast, sacrificial power that can be converted into all things is the real practical currency.
But meaninglessness is one thing. Qi Sheng feels that he really has to consider the needs of players.
Meeting players’ needs essentially enhances their gaming experience.
This will also help the development of player legions.
He plans to bind the fashion function with the "armed vehicle" function that will be launched later, and design multiple sets of equipment for players to enhance their use. At the same time, each armed vehicle comes with additional fashion display effects.
But until Chao Dimension completes the production of the armed vehicle function, he will not consider launching the so-called fashion function for the time being.
This can be a side feature, but it's never the focus.
