NPCs in the free world are all highly intelligent NPCs. Unknown technology has already made the behavior patterns and thinking logic of these so-called NPCs almost the same as human beings. It was originally necessary to abide by the "virtual world" communication rules to interact with them. Later, most of the interactive players became more and more accustomed to getting along with them in a real way because of this completely indistinguishable result. This mode of getting along has naturally undergone various changes over time, and now there are countless regular "strategies" for chatting with NPCs and seeking information and benefits from them. In the development history of virtual reality games Appearing one after another, these so-called "NPC talking skills" naturally follow the experience accumulated in psychology and sociology for thousands of years. However, no matter how much they change, the way they are used is still inseparable from exploration and utilization. It is derived from the way of "human psychological activities".
Therefore, players who have become accustomed to this kind of gameplay can clearly tell the difference between an ordinary NPC and an NPC that has lost the support of their hearts.
"Those enemies are like puppet soldiers created using simple logic patterns when the earliest virtual reality technology came out."
After placing the packed suitcases in each corner of the tent one by one, Duan Shanhe's young-looking face once again showed a calmness and stability that was inconsistent with his temperament: "Don't look at me with that look. In order to concentrate on my cultivation, I have specifically experienced some of the worlds created by the virtual technology of the old era. Because the gap between it and the current world is too big, it left a deep impression on me."
"It seems that Duan Fenglei has invested a lot of capital in you." So Duan Qing also put away his doubtful eyes: "In other words, those NPCs just follow simple rules, right?"
"Why this kind of 'controlled NPC' appears, I have no way of knowing." Duan Shanhe, who seemed to want to dress up as a real knight-errant, turned around and sat on a bench and took out a piece of paper he had just taken out. A red hairband was tied on his forehead: "I was just trying to capture those people's intentions and the next battle direction based on intuition during the fight, but with little success, and then I tried other experiments. came to this conclusion.”
"Only within the Magic Empire has such an individual existence appeared, right?" After holding his chin in thought for a while, Duan Qing continued in a low voice: "Can I draw further inferences: The Magic Empire has mastered some kind of Black technology can turn people into emotionless machines?"
"Although this definition needs to be more precise, but... now is not the time to discuss this." An invisible cloud shrouded Duan Shanhe's young face: "Since he claims to have inherited the mantle of the ancient magic empire, If they are a group, then they have some way to control other NPCs and force them to fight for them - this possibility naturally exists. Over time, people who are deprived of self-awareness and controlled will also change. Let’s get more and more.”
"...People from the empire, principality, and other major forces, do they know this news?"
"I just told my eldest brother and second brother about this matter. Whether this inference is valuable enough to inform other forces will be left to them to judge."
"It seems that they did make a judgment and then called me over... hum."
Facing the indifferent and calm answer of the young man in front of him, Duan Qing, who was standing at the door of the tent, also frowned like the word "Chuan": "Judging from the trends of the empire and the principality, they currently have no such threat. 'On alert, as for the Council of Mages..."
"Judging from your fights with these 'controlled' enemies, have they grown in strength?"
Putting aside the issue he was currently considering for the time being, Duan Qing asked another question. Duan Shanhe, who was slightly surprised, only moved his eyebrows slightly, and then regained his original composure: " No, these enemies are not strong. Although they do not have any fighting style due to what I guess is a 'mental deficiency', they are still not strong enough to outshine those below."
"Of course there are no opponents who can impress you." Duan Qing sighed with a bit of luck for some reason: "This... should be considered a good thing."
"I don't know what the relationship between the name you want to ask about and you, but from my perspective, it is really disappointing that there is no opponent worth fighting." The young boxer looked at Duan Qing's face There was a little more excitement in his calm eyes: "If such an opportunity arises again, I will not let it go."
"I know what you want, but we really don't have much time now." Unwilling to meet such eyes, Duan Qing curled his lips and turned around: "Wait a moment, anyway, you should know what we are going to do next. What are you preparing for, when the time comes——"
"Oh, you two!"
An exaggerated voice came from above the tent, accompanied by a head with fluffy hair that appeared from among the rocks above their heads at some unknown time. It looked like he had just experienced something. The embarrassment of the fleeing head then rolled down the height of the two people with the same dilapidated body, and fell on the ground in front of Duan Qing in the same exaggerated posture: "Finally, I finally found a living." People!"
"Who are you--?"
Duan Shanhe seemed to be very interested in the result of this person appearing in front of him without any sound. Sitting on the spot, Duan Shanhe's sharp eyes ignored the player who appeared in front of him who was dressed like a beggar, but before he could look at him, The ID name above the visitor's head reacted, and the player's huge enthusiasm enveloped him as he climbed up with difficulty and collided with the earth wall erected by Duan Qing out of desperation: "Oh! It hurts, it hurts, it hurts... …”
"Is this how you treat an old friend who went through all the trouble to come and visit?"
Covering his nose and falling to the ground again, the beggar rolled and shouted at the wall: "You 'iron caltrop'!"
"No matter how affectionate I am, I can't accept the enthusiasm of this 'international flower' like you."
Duan Qing, who appeared from behind the earthen wall with an expressionless face and gradually walked forward, responded to the opponent's verbal attack as quickly as possible: "This is me. If it were other people in the camp, you would pounce on me like this." , the only alternative would be to get split in half with a sword."
"Your Excellency, Blossoms."
****************************
"What a tearful goodbye."
Duan Qing has been taken to another corner of this floating foundation. The beggar player who settled down amidst the hustle and bustle then shouted to the surroundings with an excited tone. The water flow generated by magic also followed mercilessly. His dancing was extinguished, and what followed was a towel for wiping: "Calm down first and change your clothes - how did you get yourself into such a mess?"
"If it were you who tried your best to come here with a Level 5 number, you would have turned into what I am now." The excited expression turned into a bitter look, and he wiped his flowers with a towel. He answered Duan Qing's question: "Let's not talk about the battle. The people guarding the bridge of Freedom City don't believe me, and the new alliance guarding the Endless Bridge Lighthouse don't believe me either, so I can only find a way to sneak over on my own. "
"It seems that the safety protection rules of the black hole teleportation array need to be further strengthened." He said this with hatred, and Duan Qing retracted his gaze towards the central teleportation entrance: "Otherwise, if a flea like you is released again, Come here, will my camp still be safe in the future?"
"Ha, as long as there is a place under human control, there will always be loopholes." He didn't care about Duan Qing's performance at this time, and the voice of the flower blossom became a little dull because he was trying to wipe his movements: "I You can make a bold guess: During this period, the number of players who have 'smuggled' to your side is as high as eighty, if not a hundred, right?"
"..."
There was a bit of helplessness in Duan Qing's eyes as he looked down at the other party. After all, Duan Qing curled his lips and sighed: "Okay, you're right, let alone Yumeng. During this time, it has penetrated into I guess there must be dozens of young men here."
"The way to deal with this kind of situation is never to 'block' - you should understand this better than me." Pulling the towel off his head, the handsome face of the flower blossom also changed from the fluffy Under the messy hair, he appeared: "But you still have such strict control. Players who are not under the New Alliance are not even allowed to go. This is simply the worst of the worst."
"The reason why we closed the road is not because of this, it is purely because the maximum capacity here is limited. After the renovation here is completed, it is only a matter of time before it is completely opened." Duan Qing looked around expressionlessly, Then he raised his eyelids again: "Are you here to give us advice? If so, leave as soon as you finish wiping."
"You—hey, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't! Don't rush to chase people away."
Knowing that his handsome face, which is well-known in the professional world, and his ID name that is so dazzling to others, are of no use to the man in front of him, the brocade of flowers that was almost thrown away by Duan Qing's magic rolled up from the ground: "Of course there is a reason why I finally came here! If I hadn't contacted you outside for a long time and you didn't respond, I, a person who has announced my retirement, wouldn't have rushed to create a small account and come to find you! "
"..."
The magic energy condensed in his hands gradually dissipated, and Duan Qing, who was silent for a moment, slowly spoke again: "Is it because of the competition?"
"You really guessed it right."
He crossed his arms and nodded, with a satisfied look on his face: "This time, the 'face-to-face confrontation between the old and new UEFA Cup', I have thought about it for a long time, and my conclusion is: you have more future."
"What, are you going to go all the way on the road of explanation?" Duan Qing, who was still expressionless and stared at the other party coldly, then waved his hand: "Let's go, let's go, we don't need explanations here for the time being. .”
"Is there anything wrong? How dare you manage a game without commentary?" Fanhua Sijin shouted in disbelief: "Even if it's just to increase publicity, you should be missing this part, right? Otherwise, How can the vast number of ordinary viewers in front of TV and the Internet understand the mystery of a game of your level?"
"Although I strongly agree, it's a pity that the competition we hold does not have so-called TV audiences and online audiences." Duan Qing crossed his arms and replied: "There is no studio, no live broadcast, and no commentary booth - understand ?”
"Understood." Then Fanhua Sijin patted the towel in her hand to the ground with extremely slow movements: "You want to have an online competition, right?"
"I know what you want to say: You can also arrange something similar for online competitions." Duan Qing blocked Flowers's words in advance: "But this type of arrangement also requires a lot of manpower and material resources. We currently don't have such a budget. , let alone that kind of energy.”
"Isn't that easy to say?" Patting her chest, which was covered with novice clothes, Fanhua Sijin immediately stood up again with a face of self-recommendation: "I specialize in this line of work! This time, I will just come to deliver the goods to you directly. It’s warm! If the conditions are right, we can handle everything from screening, broadcasting, publicity to schedule organization for this competition!”
"We will not pay wages, nor will we provide any manpower or material resources." Duan Qing was still racking his brains to get rid of the trouble in front of him: "This is a loss-making business that can no longer lose money. I advise you to give up as soon as possible."
"Losing money? Humph."
He let out two proud chuckles, raised his head to the flowery brocade with his hands on his face, and assumed a posture that he thought was extremely cool: "Are you too underestimated of your own name? In your name The number of clicks and traffic generated by the battle post posted online has made everyone on the old website smile from ear to ear."
"If they really came here just for my name, I'm afraid they will be disappointed." Not wanting to imagine what the scene was like outside, Duan Qing had no choice but to bite the bullet and replied: "I But we didn’t say that we were going to leave the game in person, and the purpose of our competition was definitely not able to satisfy the curiosity of those guys who were watching the fun.”
"That's for those new players who don't know you and have just entered this virtual world in the past three years." Fanhua Sijin gradually put down her hand: "For those players who have experienced the ancient times, just It’s enough to see you as a living person again, if you don’t believe me, just watch.”
"There are more and more people who look like you when I first met you, and they are coming from all over the world."
He pointed at another well-dressed magician player who had just appeared in the portal and was looking around, and said this with a smile on his face.
