Creating a Virtual World

Chapter 276: The meaning of the other world (first update)

Views:

The summer season between Jun Lin Tian Xia and Yue Dong He Zi is still going on. Juan Can Yun, with only a quarter of his health left, is facing Feng Yi, who is also known as a genius under Jun Lin Tian Xia.

If Juan Canyun wins this game, he will create a history... a history called one against four.

This is a record that has never been seen in the seven-year history of the Dissension Alliance!

President Yin, as the boss of Leaping Nuclear, did not go to the scene to watch the game. He is now watching the game with the Tiangong live broadcast gadget in the base of Coke Fanatics. But in addition to watching the game, he is now negotiating with Bubble... about the regional battle for New World Plaza.

"Don't you think the gameplay in the other world is too boring?" Mr. Yin said to Bubble who was sitting opposite him.

"You want to use this method to make us withdraw... The competition for New World Plaza is too clumsy, isn't it, Boss Yin?"

In preparation for Mr. Yin's visit, Bubble arranged the negotiation location in the most luxurious building in the Coke Mania base... which was actually a wooden house, and also invited Coke Mania's rarest and most popular NPC, the Dragon Speaker Weisser... to personally serve tea and water.

That's right! Bubbles is just showing off that he has a dragon whisperer sister.

It’s just that there is very little work for Weisser and Youmi to do recently, so Coke Mania has temporarily shifted the focus of the strategy to the other world.

Weisser held two cups of hot tea in her hands and placed them in front of Bubble and Yin Zong respectively...

When she handed the hot tea to Mr. Yin, Mr. Yin whispered "thank you".

Weisser was a little surprised and stood on the other side with the plate.

Bubble glanced at Weisser's expression and felt that something was not right, so he tapped the table lightly with his hand to get Mr. Yin to focus his attention on him.

"I'm just stating the facts. Have you read the reviews of the Inner World DLC on the Tiangong game platform?"

Mr. Yin's eyes were always on the duel between Juan Canyun and Feng Yi, but his fingertips moved to give the bubble an interface.

The game Holy Spirit has launched two large-scale updated versions classified as DLC on the Tiangong game platform, one of which is "Expedition to Brand Island".

The DLC of Brand Island has received rave reviews on the Tiangong game platform.

For example, the rich game plot, diverse monsters and island ecosystems, and diverse NPC recruitment and construction systems have greatly expanded the gameplay of Holy Spirit! If you separate Brand Island and make a game, it will be a big hit! '

And 'I feel like I can play the Brand Island DLC for another ten years!'

'The players who build houses are grateful to the game planner for launching this DLC. I spent the whole night building a house because I almost cried because of the conscience of this game.'

'Holy Spirit·The Sims Expansion!'

Players have given positive reviews for the Brand Island DLC and even went so far as to review the main body of Holy Spirit. It should be noted that reviews of DLCs can only be made by players who can play Holy Spirit.

Brand Island has been open for less than two months, and Holy Spirit has updated the large DLC of the Underworld. However... the update of the Underworld has made many players dissatisfied.

Because the gameplay in the other world is really too little compared to Brand Island!

Bubble took a quick look at the comments below the other world.

The reviews for the Otherworld DLC are mixed. Among the many reviews of the Otherworld DLC, Bubble only looked at the ones with the highest likes rate.

This review is more than a thousand words long.

Bubble took a quick look at the game reviewer's ID, which was 'I am also someone who owns Freya', a very tough ID, and his review was also very tough.

'The Holy Spirit's inner world was hastily launched this time probably because of the arrival of the holographic projection era. Although the inner world has opened two highly realistic maps, the Upper City Riverside Area and the River City Pedestrian Street Area, it has also once again contributed amazing modeling details and picture effects to the players.'

'But the gameplay of the whole inner world is too big and empty due to the rush. The excellent game content in Holy Spirit, such as immersive NPC interaction, a large number of side quests and hidden quests with multiple options and endings, and various surprises that can be found during exploration, all no longer exist in the inner world. Some are just fighting with players for treasure chest monsters, and there are boring and tedious regional battles. PS: If it weren't for the 630,000 and the fact that challenge tickets can be sold for money, I might have lived with my wife on Brand Island for the rest of my life. '

Bubble looked through the reviews about the DLC "The Other World" and he slapped his head and realized... why didn't he think of it

The other world is really boring. For a newbie like him, after the initial sense of wonder of accidentally entering the real world...what he has to face is a big and empty other world.

Maybe advanced players can have fun challenging the guardians of the inner world, but Bubble would really rather stay in the base of Coke fanatics and chat with the two Dragon Speaker sisters.

"I have asked some people to investigate the forums. Now, in addition to fighting for treasure chest monsters to exchange for money, players go to the other world to take pictures, see the scenery, and play parkour with some players who have wall-climbing skills."

Mr. Yin threw another interface of the 4396 trading website to Bubble. The price of the challenge ticket on the 4396 trading website has been reduced to the point where one can buy one for about one to three gold coins.

The price is still falling, which Mr. Yin had expected a long time ago, but the challenge coupons purchased from Jia Nai Bu Jia Pricing at the beginning were not useless.

The Leaping Nucleus has already occupied a park area in the upper city, and the Leaping Nucleus has spent the rest of the challenge tickets on a fierce battle with the Coke Mania in the New World Plaza.

Now all the Holy Spirit players in the whole server know that challenge tickets are valuable, so some full-level players will run to the other world to "move bricks" when they have nothing to do.

This type of brick-moving party is very common in major online games. In almost all online games, ordinary players who have no money make money by moving bricks, and rich players only need to spend money to purchase the resources from these brick-moving parties.

But Holy Spirit has the Brand Island DLC as a precedent, which makes the brick-moving gameplay in the inner world really boring, so boring that most players will not stay in the inner world for too long after moving bricks every day.

No matter how beautiful the scenery is, you will get bored after looking at it for a long time. There are many interesting story lines and plot missions waiting for them to experience in Brand Island and the Holy Spirit's main world. There is no need for them to spend all their time on this boring brick-moving work.

Of course... there are some 'hamster gangs', 'squirrel gangs' and 'worker ant gangs' who are players who do brick-moving for fun, but these players only account for a minority after all.

The final conclusion is…

"It's okay in the next one or two weeks while everyone's novelty has not worn off. But what about a month later, a year later? The other world will most likely turn into a 'ghost server'." President Yin stated his conclusion.

"This... is impossible. The game officials have created such a realistic world, so they should find a way to improve it! Hotpot Prince, don't try to lie to me. I won't give you the New World Plaza." Bubble will not be fooled by President Yin again.

"What's the next update?" Mr. Yin glanced at the black tea that Weisser handed to him. He could only smell the fragrance of the black tea but couldn't taste it, but that wasn't the point...

"Let me put it this way, the purpose of the other world is not to increase the players' 'gaming experience', but to provide 'benefits' to the players?" said Mr. Yin.

"What do you mean?" Bubble frowned and began to think about what Mr. Yin was talking about.

"After the opening of the inner world, how much has the number of visitors to your Flower Plaza increased?" Mr. Yin asked again.

"Three times! The number of customers has tripled in fifteen days. If Jun Lin Tian Xia hadn't stabbed us in the back, it would have been even more! On the first day, my dad called me and asked, 'Do you have any idea why the number of customers at Fanhua Square has increased so much?' My answer was, 'How the hell should I know?' But I kind of regret that Fanhua Square didn't charge admission at that time."

There was a sense of pride in Bubble's voice when he mentioned this. There were three factors that led to the surge in visitor flow in Fanhua Square. The first was that the holographic projection of the Holy Spirit appeared in Fanhua Square, and the second was that professional players appeared in Fanhua Square.

The most important factor is... the fight between players and Thorne is so exciting!

Nowadays, some elderly people who have nothing to do go to Fanhua Square to watch real-life martial arts movies. They don’t know what the Holy Spirit is, and they don’t even know what VR games are. They only know that a peerless master beats up all kinds of masters with tree branches in Fanhua Square every day.

This incident was reported in the news several times, which only made the flow of visitors to Fanhua Square continue to increase. Bubble even considered charging admission to the group of people to watch Thorne's battle.

"This is the benefit that the other world of the Holy Spirit gives back to you. This is the benefit that you get from joining the Holy Spirit Fund. But this game also uses the same method to give benefits to other players. Did you know that, Zhao?"

"Everyone knows Xiao Ye! Damn it! I remember now... This guy eats pizza at our Fanhua Square every day!"

When Bubble was mentioned by President Yin, he suddenly remembered that there were three guardians in the Flower Square. Thorn was someone that no player could defeat at this stage, so the other 630,000 players could only watch.

But the difficulty of the other two guardians is only difficult and normal. After defeating the difficult guardian, you can go to the pizza shop in Fanhua Square to exchange it for a pizza set.

So Zhao Mingwei stayed in Fanhua Square for a while, both in the game and in reality.

He is a typical internet addict who is willing to sleep on the street just to surf the Internet.

If it's time to eat lunch, use the challenge ticket to defeat the difficult level guardian, and then exchange it for a pizza ticket to eat pizza.

"How can you say it's freeloading? Didn't you pay for it?" Mr. Yin said.

"Yes... I paid for it. The Holy Spirit Fund paid for it, but it seems that part of it was advertising fees I paid?"

Bubble was also studying the Holy Spirit Fund. He spent 2.5 million in advertising fees to allow Thorne to come to Fanhua Square to guard 630,000.

However, the official did not embezzle the 2.5 million Holy Spirits, but instead gave them back to the players in the form of pizza coupons, clothing coupons, and other things.

"This game is too conscientious. If I came across the game Holy Spirit when I was broke, I would probably cry. Does this game company really not make money?"

Bubble probably won't be able to experience the kind of life that Zhao Mingwei has... being penniless and having to rely on playing games to barely make a living.

"The game of Holy Spirit does not need to make money, and its ambition may be greater than you and I imagine." Mr. Yin suddenly said again.

"Ambition, to kill disputes?"

Bubble glanced at Mr. Yin's live broadcast interface. Juan Canyun had forced Feng Yi into a desperate situation with only a quarter of his health. Although he was also in a desperate situation, the record of defeating four enemies at once was right in front of him.

PS: Let me talk about the reason for the slow updates during this period. The plot problem during this period is the conflict between the rhythm of the novel's plot and the update of the game version. The update interval of a major expansion pack of a game is at least half a year, and at most a year. This is a very normal thing, but for the sake of the plot rhythm, the development of the story cannot go on like this for one or two years. The result is that many things on Brand Island were not finished before entering the new world, such as the pet system, the recruitment system, and the contact with the NPC in Shenyou Town. These were not written in time before entering the inner world. I sorted out the plot and found a solution. The story of Brand Island and the inner world complement each other, and the inner world is a "big and empty" world, Brand Island and subsequent new maps will be used to fill the "empty" of the inner world. I don't know if you understand... If you don't understand, it doesn't matter, just watch me write.
