Chapter 152 Players forced an epiphany
"Congratulations to the players for successfully completing the first interstellar war."
"Unlock new features, merit points, and unlock the merit point mall."
"The system will issue corresponding merit points to players based on their respective contributions in this battle."
With the appearance of this system announcement, players also became a little curious and introduced the merit points.
"Holy crap, I originally thought we had developed very well, but now it seems that I thought too much. We haven't even fully unlocked the functions of this game yet." After seeing the merit points, he introduced a player sighed.
After hearing what this player said, the people next to him nodded in agreement, "Yeah, but that's understandable. After all, in other games, the level you have reached and what you unlock are clearly written down."
"But this game doesn't write anything. For example, when I play other games, the level 10 unlocking system and the level 15 unlocking lottery are all marked. This game is a purely random trigger."
"But there is also an advantage to doing this, which greatly increases the exploration and fun of the game."
The players were discussing that the sudden reward points also caught their attention.
"Brothers, how many merit points have you received?"
"Holy shit, I just got 8 merit points."
"8 points is not enough, I only got two points."
"Brothers, I just took a look at the mall. The merit point mall is divided into three levels, elementary, intermediate, and advanced. There are also quite a lot of products in the merit point mall, such as regular troops, hydralisks, velociraptors, etc. For sale.”
"Then I took a look and found that the price of a velociraptor is one merit point, which means that when converted, this merit point is almost equal to 10,000 evolution points."
"Damn, this is a bit outrageous. It is equivalent to saying that the man who was assigned 8 merit points just now is equivalent to a reward of 80,000 evolution points."
"What's the use of this? Although the proportions are almost the same, brothers, don't forget that these merit points cannot be traded for evolution points. If you buy units and resell them, you will definitely lose money."
"Damn it, I'm thinking about selling every day. To be honest with your mentality upstairs, you probably haven't played high-level units before.
I understand this game now because the loss of death is huge. Most of us players rarely deposit money and work hard to get rid of the liver.”
"It took a lot of effort to make some evolutions. I bought a high-level unit, and then it died. I feel that the battle damage in this game is very high, and it makes the thief feel distressed when he dies."
"For this reason, many of us don't dare to buy too advanced units. Many players are even thinking about investing 30,000 to 50,000 evolution points and getting a Velociraptor or a Hydralisk."
"Sell the other evolutionary points that should be sold."
After hearing what this player said, other players nodded in agreement.
Indeed, there is nothing wrong with what this player said. A large part of them did this. Many of them were desperate during this period, and then used their points to buy a similar unit, and the rest Just sell them all.
Of course, their plan is essentially correct.
However, after experiencing so many wars, the player who spoke before seemed to have discovered a clue.
"Brother, you're right. The death penalty in the game is too high. To be honest, I really don't dare to buy that kind of advanced unit."
After hearing what this player said, the player just now continued.
"Nothing wrong, your idea is the same as my original idea. I am different from you. I can barely be regarded as an old player."
"I knew that this game could make money, and then I started working on it full-time." At this point, the player sighed.
"Then I thought about buying a fierce armored beast and playing with it all the time. After all, the price of the fierce armored beast is not too outrageous, and it is within the range that I can afford."
"Then I will exchange all the evolution points I earn over time into soft girl coins."
"This operation, in my opinion, is the most suitable operation for this game."
After hearing what this player said, many people also think there is nothing wrong with this routine.
But just when everyone agreed, his next words made everyone start to reflect.
"Brothers, but is this really the case? After so many wars, large and small, haven't you found any problems?"
"What's the problem?" After hearing what he said, someone became curious.
"War is very cruel, and a creature called cannon fodder is bound to appear in war."
"And everyone who thinks the same as me, yes! Everyone who thinks the same as me is cannon fodder. Don't take any chances. We are cannon fodder."
"Although on the surface it seems that there is no problem for us to be cannon fodder, after all, everyone has to be this thing and there is no way to escape."
"Many people may have this mentality after knowing that they are cannon fodder, but let me tell you the truth, there is no cannon fodder in this game."
"It's just because we have turned ourselves into cannon fodder. To put it simply, it is our own doing."
After hearing what this player said, others became less and less understanding.
"Brother, what do you mean by this? I can't understand it anymore." "To put it simply, our idea is wrong, it was wrong from the beginning."
“This game seems like you can get it for free, but in fact if you don’t invest, then sorry, you will never get it for free.”
"Take me as an example. In so many battles, I died three times in total. I died three times. Although after each battle, whether it was to replenish troops or mine mines, I bought a new armored beast, and I also exchanged some soft girl coins.”
"On the surface it looks like I'm very successful, but in fact it's not like that. Let's take the salted fish we are most familiar with as an example. The operation of this product is obvious to all. To put it bluntly, it's hard to explain in just one sentence."
Who would have expected that Xianyu would be displeased as soon as he finished speaking, "Hey, hey, hey, it's hard to say what I mean, I have a lot of good operations."
"I understand everything about your operation, so there is no need to forcefully defend it."
"But the problem is precisely this kind of operation here. After experiencing so many battles, he has not recorded a single death."
After hearing his words, the players at this moment vaguely understood something.
"Only many people will say that salted fish is willing to spend money, and salted fish is willing to give up your liver. But we think about it conversely, aren't most of our players also very lazy? There are many who are online 24 hours a day, 12 hours and 14 hours a day."
"Why did we end up like this?"
"In the final analysis, we are reluctant to invest in it."
"I won't go too far. If those of us who play Velociraptor and Armored Beast all play Ghost Hydralisk in this battle, will we die so miserably?"
Upon hearing this, the players all shook their heads instinctively.
"Yes, it's just because we exchanged all the money for soft girl coins, so our troops are not strong, and it can easily happen like this. If there are battle losses, we have to make up for them, and we have to waste our time. .”
"We will never be able to complete the most primitive basic accumulation if we continue to operate like this. We have been repeating the process of death buying."
"There was no problem before, but now there are merit points. It seems that after we die, we gain merit points and use the merit points to make up for the battle losses, making our losses even lower."
"But don't forget the evaluation of merit points. Based on the contribution we made in the battle, I would like to ask how much contribution we cannon fodder-level troops can make. It's amazing. After death, the contribution is just enough. Buy a new one.”
"But by doing this, we will always repeat the process of death purchase, and the money earned from Xianyu will evolve and improve our strength, and then we can also get a lot of merit points and point distribution in each battle. For players, The gap between us will become wider and wider.”
"Even when there were no merit points before, Xianyu's operation could put us at a great distance, but now we have merit points?
This distance will get bigger and bigger. Maybe many people will say that Xianyu has invested all his money in this. In fact, he has not withdrawn many soft sister coins. ”
"But don't forget the troops in Xianyu's hands, that are his assets."
"I bet that the money Xianyu got from selling this unit is many times more than most of us who withdraw cash after making a small amount of money at the beginning."
After hearing this, the players immediately understood this matter. Although on the surface they seemed to be harvesting wool, they were actually making money.
Most of the money they earned was wasted internally, and adding up the points consumed by their dead units was enough to purchase a stronger unit.
The lower the number of deaths, the more they will save.
This is what you really earn, not the small amount of money you earn every time you die in a battle and then replenish your troops, and then get a few ten thousand or twenty thousand points.
"I understand."
"It's numb. No wonder I found that the more I fought, the poorer I got. This is where the problem lies for a long time."
"Yeah, I'm confused too. In fact, I'm also an old player and have fought three large-scale battles. After each battle, I found a very embarrassing problem, that is, after the soldiers died and were replenished, hey, there was no money. ”
"Yes, I was quite happy when I was playing, but in the end I found that I couldn't make a dime."
After hearing the discussions among the players, Xianyu coughed twice, "I didn't expect that you would discover this in the end."
"You are right. In fact, if you want to make money in this game, you must invest. As the monsters in the later stages become more and more difficult and you want to survive, the requirements for your arms will become higher and higher. .”
"But many people are reluctant to evolve high-level arms, thinking that they would be in trouble if they died."
"It's a pity that none of you have thought about this problem. The mortality rate of high-level soldiers is undoubtedly much lower than that of low-level soldiers. Many times, after a battle, high-level soldiers will lose at most half of their health, while low-level soldiers will lose at most half of their health. The rank troops are almost dead.”
"In this game, only those who survive can make money, and those who die may end up losing money if they replenish their troops."
"As for this, I saw through it long ago when I entered the game. It's a pity that you have only figured it out now." Xianyu said in a tone full of hatred that iron cannot be transformed into steel.
"When you are numb, you can brag about your awesomeness."
"He's just a blind cat catching a dead rat. He only thinks about it as an afterthought after hearing it analyzed by others."
"Still my wise saying, is it so difficult to admit that others are better than you?"
"Haha, a wise saying? Didn't anyone tell you that even your wise saying was copied?"
Salted fish:. . . . .
