Compared with "Infinite Horror", "New Adventurer Adventures" and "Mercenary Legend" are not that popular. After all, the quality of games does vary greatly, and it’s hard not to accept it.
"Infinite Horror" allows players to become a low-level adventurer and experience all kinds of incredible adventures. Although these adventures are often a little scary, and even have the nickname "Game of the Brave", it is undeniable that its excitement is beyond imagination - experienced adventurers have experienced it and rated it as at least as good as real-life adventures. Eight points similar. As for the two points deducted, one point is because things are too bizarre. Most real-life adventures are very dull and not so weird. The other point is because things are too dangerous and the mortality rate is too high. Real-life adventures are really not that scary. of. If real-life adventures are this bizarre and have such a high mortality rate, then the adventurer profession is extremely risky and no one in their right mind should want to do it.
From another perspective, the name is indeed correct. This game is indeed exciting and terrifying.
The other two games are not so exciting. "Adventures of a New Adventurer" is a simple word game. It mainly talks about how a person who knows nothing about adventure prepares for adventure and how to experience the first few adventures. An adventure story. For those who have no adventure experience or have never played this game, it can be regarded as an interesting popular science. For those true novice adventurers, it is also a useful channel to supplement necessary knowledge. But once you play it a lot and become familiar with the content, it becomes boring.
"Legend of Mercenaries" is much more interesting than "Adventures of New Adventurers". For one thing, it has graphics, and the graphics are quite exquisite. In particular, the images of various monsters are very lifelike. If you have played it, If you misidentify the monster in reality, you definitely have a problem with your eyes or your brain; secondly, it is also very rich in content, covering a variety of common tasks, from finding lost objects to exploring underground mazes and killing scary monsters. Everything you need.
This game is actually very popular, and people line up every day waiting to experience it, but the number of people queuing up is far behind compared to "Infinite Horror", and it's not on the same level at all. If a person is not in a hurry to play, he can play it almost effortlessly as long as he makes a reservation a day or two in advance.
And there is another reason that determines the difference in popularity of the three games. The "Infinite Horror" game console—assuming that the crystal cylinder that looks like a coffin for people to lie in is also a game console—is not for sale to the public. Players who want to experience it can only come to the Temple of the Mask of the Void. The game consoles of the other two games are all sold to the public. As long as you build an altar to His Majesty the Mask of the Void at home and keep worshiping it every day. The offerings can be fruits or food, and you can use it stably.
Over the years, many wealthy families in Gars City have bought game consoles in their homes. Even for middle-income families, several families can buy one together, and everyone will take turns to play.
Due to the influence of game consoles, the entertainment life of Gals City residents is relatively poor—at least that's how it seems to many people elsewhere. They don't often go to the opera, and they don't have much interest in other cultural projects. What they are most passionate about is returning home and playing games. A famous scholar even once commented on this city: It is a sea of money, but a desert of culture.
"Is it really that exaggerated?" Sui Xiong came to Leon's office and chatted with him about the game console. As they chatted, they came up with this comment. Sui Xiong was shocked when he heard this and asked doubtfully: "Have the Gars people really turned into an Internet addiction army?"
"Internet addiction army? What is that?"
"They are a group of poor people who are said to need a certain Professor Yang to shock them... Have the people of Gals City really reached the point where they spend almost all their spare time playing games?"
Leon smiled and shook his head: "How is that possible! But for most wealthy people in Gars, apart from eating, drinking, going out to relax or travel, the most common entertainment is indeed games. Their main game is 'Mercenary Legend', last time I counted, there are probably more than 20,000 regular players in the entire Gars."
"F*ck... 20,000 people?!" Sui Xiong was shocked, "I remember that game console cost 500 gold coins, right? 20,000 people, isn't that tens of millions of gold coins?! The Gars people are so rich ?!”
"You miscalculated. In fact, most players buy a game console together with several people. It is rare for one person to own a game console. According to my statistics, currently, on average, every five people Or so, owning a gaming console.”
Sui Xiong did the math and couldn't help but click his tongue in surprise.
One game console for five people would cost an average of one hundred gold coins per person. One hundred gold coins is not a small amount. Generally, it only takes one or two thousand gold coins to kill a more dangerous wanted criminal.
Moreover, there are 20,000 players, with an average of 100 gold coins each, so the total adds up to 2 million gold coins! Two million gold coins is also not a small number! Even the treasury of the Blue Moon Kingdom may not be able to take out so many gold coins at once.
"How rich are the Gars?" Sui Xiong couldn't help but ask.
"Absolutely, after all, it is accumulated over the years. And Carissa has held several subsidy activities for purchasing game consoles... Calculating it piecemeal, the average expenditure of each player on game consoles is actually less than 60 gold."
"Less than sixty gold coins is a lot!"
"It's a lot for farmers, but for a prosperous big city like Gars...how to put it, although it's still a lot, it's still valuable in general." Leon said, "And, even the most The simple 'Adventures of New Adventurers' can also be used to acquire the basic knowledge of adventure. Moreover, it also comes with a basic literacy teaching system - think about it, it can be used to learn reading and literacy alone, and sixty gold coins are enough. Not much, right?"
Sui Xiong thought for a while and nodded.
In this world, learning to read and write is indeed a very expensive thing. With only sixty gold coins, you can buy a set of tools that can be used for many years to help people learn basic common language. When you think about it, it doesn't seem very expensive.
"So, the literacy rate of us Gars people is actually very high." Leon said with a smile, "After the scholar made such criticism, Carissa was very unconvinced and organized a large number of people to argue with him. , there were thousands of citizens in front and behind him. He had never seen such a scene of so many scholars swarming in. He was so frightened that he peeed and ran away immediately. "
Sui Xiong couldn't help laughing after hearing this.
It would be great if gamers on earth could be so powerful!
