Chapter 230 A cheap, rare and recognizable gift
Although Lilith’s first impression was that it was unreliable, she still listened carefully.
Qin Fengliang said: "Mr. Li, as I just said, the key is the imbalance of the reward mechanism. Because the reward conditions at this time have become "defensive driving to avoid accidents", the difficulty of achieving it is not It is particularly high, and a lot of positive emotions are obtained. On the contrary, when an accident occurs, the player has become accustomed to it, and there are less negative emotions. As one goes, it becomes a loss-making transaction.
"At this time, What if we could set a reward condition for players that is more difficult to achieve?
“For example, we tell players that if they can maintain a zero-accident record in the game for a long time, we will give them a small prize?”
Lilith seemed to understand: "Isn't the small prize you mentioned so small and perfunctory?"
Qin Fengliang nodded: "Mr. Li, you are really smart, you understood it right away! Yes, this little prize The prize is very small and perfunctory! I think it’s enough to spend a few dozen yuan to make a simple sign. Don’t spend three digits.”
Lilith became interested: “Listen to what you said. Say, it is indeed a solution!”
The key to the problem now is that the player has no negative emotions when he crashes, but successfully avoids a traffic accident, but will generate an excessive amount of positive emotions.
But what if you set a goal, such as avoiding 100 accidents in a row in the game, and you can get a small prize?
Then the player will aim to "avoid 100 accidents".
In this process, once you fail, you will gain a lot of negative emotions!
Especially when a player persists for more than 90 times and loses the whole game by accident, the negative emotions will explode directly.
You know, if a thing is divided into three links, and the success probability of each link is 50%, then the success probability of the whole thing is only 12.5%.
It is very difficult for players to "avoid accidents" in the game. Even for players with better driving skills, the chance of success is less than 50%. If you want to avoid 100 accidents in a row...
Then this success rate is so low that it can be ignored.
In this long attempt, because the player has a higher goal of "avoiding 100 accidents in a row", the positive emotions gained from a single "avoiding accidents" will be diluted.
Just like when playing a MOBA game, if a player's level is diamond, and his goal is just to kill well in the golden game, then he will easily achieve the conditions, and it will be easy to be satisfied and happy.
But what if his goal is to become the king? Then the whole process will be full of pain.
So, Qin Fengliang’s method seems to be theoretically feasible!
And the best thing is that even if this extremely harsh condition is met, the official prize is only a piece of junk worth tens of dollars!
Of course, gold trophies will continue to be given out, but certainly not to these people.
At that time, even if a player really tries his best to achieve this condition, he will eventually find that his prize is not a gold trophy, but a cheap, inferior, broken sign worth only a few dozen dollars. This negative emotion will definitely explode again!
Although Qin Fengliang said that this method can only be used as an assistant, Lilith somehow felt that this method was more reliable than the previous method!
"Very good! This is a good idea! You are indeed my think tank!" Lilith stood up and walked around twice excitedly.
Qin Fengliang was also a little proud, but he still said modestly and low-key: "Wherever, Mr. Li, this is what I should do.
"But there is a problem, Mr. Li, the current game is no longer available for sale. Has it been changed? So how to add this condition? "
Lilith smiled slightly: "Isn't this difficult to handle? who I am? I am Lilith, the No. 1 producer of Hell who prepares for a rainy day!
“Of course I was prepared from the beginning!
“When I was making the achievement system of this game, I had already set some extreme situations. ”
Lilith said as she excitedly opened the official store page of "Road Rage Simulator" and found the achievement list.
There is one of them.
『Road ghost: 66 hours of driving in total, no violation record. 』
This achievement is not impressive.
You must know that the game's achievement system is basically divided into different levels, such as ordinary level, Gold Cup level, Platinum Cup level, etc.
For general games, the more difficult an achievement is to achieve, the higher the level of the achievement.
Assuming that "defeat the first BOSS in the game" is a normal level achievement, then "collecting all the achievements in the game" is a platinum level achievement.
But the achievement system of the game "Road Rage Simulator" obviously does not follow the routine. The outrageous achievement "Road Rage Simulator" turns out to be just an ordinary achievement.
This achievement may not seem like much at first glance, but there are two pitfalls buried in it.
The first pitfall is "66 hours". Because this time is relatively long, players may mistakenly think it is 66 hours in the game, which is 660 minutes or 11 hours in reality.
But in fact, this 66 hours is 66 hours in reality!
As for why the number 66?
I think the number "6" is a negative and evil number in the context of Western culture, and is the code name of the devil. If a being bears this mark, it is considered an enemy of God.
And 666, repeating 6 three times, represents extreme imperfection, extreme impurity, doing all bad things, etc.
In fact, Lilith originally planned to set 666 hours, but then she thought about it. If the conditions were too outrageous, no one would try it, and naturally there would be no negative emotions, so she finally struggled. , or reluctantly chose the number 66 as a compromise.
The second pitfall is "no violation record."
Players will subconsciously think that as long as they don't crash, the problem is that the game's traffic regulations also include a rule that requires correct treatment for those injured in the accident!
In other words, if a certain link is missing in the treatment, time will also be interrupted and counted from the beginning.
With this achievement system, Lilith can successfully implement Qin Fengliang's plan. As long as the player can complete this achievement, the official will give a "special gift"!
These four words will definitely make players think about it, but in fact, this gift will only be an ordinary sign worth tens of dollars.
Lilith couldn't help but want to laugh when she thought about the moment when the players received the sign after having contributed countless negative emotions, and then unboxed and saw the gift.
When the time comes, there will definitely be another huge wave of negative emotions!
What a profit, what a profit!
Lilith stood up immediately: "Okay! Then I will find someone to customize this set of signs!"
……
……
June 21st.
Saturday.
Gu Fan yawned and came to Nitiantian Game Experience Store.
Sui Tao arrived on time, but the experience store was still as empty as before.
"Store manager, do you want some coffee?" Sui Tao asked.
Of course there is a coffee machine in the experience store, and Sui Tao knows how to use it.
"Okay, let's have a latte." Gu Fan found a seat and sat down casually, turning on the TV.
There were no well-known anchors this morning, they were all small anchors. Gu Fan randomly found a live broadcast room where "Road Rage Simulator" was being played, and drank coffee while watching it.
"By the way, Sui Tao, I have a small matter that I would like to ask your opinion on.
"Tell me, is there such a sign, or other similar things, which itself is not worth much, only a few dozen Dollars can be displayed on the car. However, it is irreplaceable to a certain extent and cannot be easily copied.
"Is there any?" Gu Fan asked.
Sui Tao was stunned for a moment: "Huh?"
This question made him a little confused. For dozens of dollars, it must be irreplaceable to a certain extent?
This is unlikely, right?
The small commodity business in China is so developed that even the pure gold trophy launched by Nitiantian can be counterfeited if you want to. It just depends on whether the counterfeiter is willing to bear the cost.
What if it’s just a gadget worth tens of dollars? That would be easier to copy.
Sui Tao thought for a while: "Store manager, I think it is useless to work on materials and shapes, so we can only work on high technology. For example...make a QR code?"
Gu Fan couldn't help but be stunned.
Huh? QR code?
It seems to be a solution!
Last night, Lilith found him and asked him to customize a batch of small prizes, similar to signs, as gifts for the players.
The quantity does not need to be large, dozens are enough.
As for what exactly this thing is used for? Which players will it be distributed to?
Lilith didn't mention it at all. Apparently, she was being clever again and wanted to be wary of Gu Fan.
So I just asked him to customize such a batch of signs without making any specific requirements at all.
But after Gu Fan thought for a moment, he had a vague guess.
Why are there only a few dozen copies of this small gift? Obviously, the conditions for obtaining this small gift must be very strict, and among so many players, not many can achieve it.
At least in Lilith's opinion, dozens of copies are completely enough.
And why is this small gift so cheap, only worth a few dozen dollars?
The reason is also very simple. Lilith must be collecting negative emotions again.
As for the specific conditions for achievement, it must be related to the achievements in the game. However, there are several difficult achievements in the game, and Gu Fan is not sure which one it is, but no matter which one it is, it does not affect the customization of this sign.
Lilith did not require the sign to be identifiable, and she even deliberately did not mention it, just to let Gu Fan create something that could be copied.
In this way, the sign itself has no recognition and no scarcity, and it can further collect the negative emotions of players!
But how could Gu Fan be fooled by this?
Since you didn’t mention it, of course I’ll just do it!
