Nightmare Lord's virtual game

"Finally, more than 3 players have completed the 2.0 version of the mythical achievement mission.……"Zhang Xingyu murmured.

Ever since he took the lead in opening the Nightmare World 2.0 AI era, and since the launch of the most shocking"Follower System" in the Nightmare World, he has always been the only player to gain followers.

To be honest, it's really a bit lonely.

Having said that, Zhang Xingyu still has no idea of ​​lowering the conditions for obtaining followers. At least, in the 2.0 AI era, Zhang Xingyu will not lower the standards.

Recruiting NPCs to become players' followers is something that can only be done in the nightmare world, and Zhang Xingyu doesn't want his followers to ruin the streets.

Of course, the setting of"NPC followers" is not too unusual in games. In many games, the game character played by the player will recruit"followers" to help him in order to fight against a powerful enemy. career.

However, this"follower" is not"that follower". The followers in these computer games will only help the players in that game, and most of these help are very simple, and some can even be said to be... Characters that exist for"missions". For example, if a player wants to build a base in a certain ruins, he or she needs to recruit a lot of talents. The game will usually give the player instructions to recruit a specific talent, such as a construction boss. With the building header, the player's base can start construction, and the role of this building header is construction, including council halls, barracks, dormitories, etc. Once the player needs to build a certain building, the construction foreman will issue a task, usually Let the player collect the necessary construction materials. After collecting the materials, a"dang-dang-dang" animation will appear, and the building will be completed.

In addition, you can also recruit those who publish tasks, help manage the base, cook, etc. The most useful followers are combat companions who can complete tasks with the player.

The classic online game"World of Monsters" once had a similar mode, which was to build a fortress. However, this version was a failure because the fortress function was too powerful. Players were unable to come out of their own fortress, and the basic social interaction in online games was gone..

Players have already seen that these so-called followers are actually equivalent to NPCs in the game. The difference is that you established this base, and the people in the base are all your followers.

The followers of the nightmare world are different. They have completely broken away."NP～C"This concept is closer to the concept of"player". Just by allowing these followers to have the"Nightmare System", you can see the difference between these followers: not only can they add friends with players, but they can also enter the home system to eat with me. Chat, and even team up to enter various game worlds to play...

Really, followers of the nightmare world can do everything players can do - except that they cannot return to the real world!

If you want followers to perform various activities like players, you need to match followers with extremely powerful AI. This kind of AI cannot be achieved by the AI ​​intelligence level in today's world. It can only be achieved in the nightmare world.

On the other hand, because of the existence of the Follower Temple, a part of the followers' income from playing various games will be given to the players, which is equivalent to the players getting free income every day. The stronger the followers, the more they gain. The more benefits you get.

The follower system is actually equivalent to a development system, but this development system is quite special, because the NPCs who are developed are also"players" like players, and they can do the same things as players... To use a popular saying among players nowadays That is, it is equivalent to finding an"NPC to play with" in the game, or more directly, an"NPC wife" or"NPC husband".

Such an important and practical follower cannot be given to players casually - recruiting any followers not only requires players to complete a series of complex tasks, but more importantly, the key props needed to recruit followers: nightmares Water drops, this is the hardest part.

As the rarest item in the nightmare world, only a handful of players own the Nightmare Drop.

Of course, if the time comes, Zhang Xingyu will lower the recruitment conditions for some followers. After all, nightmare drops are too rare, which will lead to another problem, too few followers!

The 2.0 AI era has opened up the follower system. This follower cannot be too many, nor can it be given too little. It needs to be mastered at a certain level.

If there are too many, it will be a bad street, if there are too few... ordinary players will not feel the existence of followers at all!

The current situation has reminded Zhang Xingyu that version 2.0 has been open for some time. It is known that other NPC followers have appeared one after another recently. And because of the existence of nightmare drops, it can be expected that for a considerable period of time, followers are still extremely rare or even rare.

This is not possible, we must give players a visible hope!

So, how to come up with this"hope"?

A flash of inspiration occurred, and there it was!

Props for recruiting NPCs can be launched in the mall, and they need to be purchased with real-world money. They are not only graded, but also not cheap...

Zhang Xingyu can imagine the madness of players after this update was withdrawn.

After all, when it comes to"Game Wife""、"I believe most players will be crazy about these two things. They are the"dream lover". Finding a"virtual game wife" doesn't have as many troubles as in the real world: as long as we play together Just be happy!

"After the update is launched, a lot of players will definitely start crying. Hey, maybe there will be many players exclaiming: Why can't I take off my pants in the nightmare world even though I already have the XX version?!"

The picture was so real that Zhang Xingyu even thought about it.

"However, even if recruitment props that can replace Nightmare Drops are launched in the mall in the future, key NPCs, such as key figures in the game world, cannot be recruited using mall recruitment props. Mall props lower the conditions for players to obtain NPC followers. , these followers that players obtain must not be the best, such as the fireproof woman in"Dark Souls", the Iron Fist President in the"Persona" world, the perverted fox, and the"Elden Ring" world. NPCs such as Lani and Melina can still only be recruited through nightmare drops."

Zhang Xingyu couldn't help but think. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"In this way, it not only satisfies the desire of ordinary players to be unable to obtain followers - after all, krypton gold is enough. On the other hand, because the most popular NPCs can only be recruited with nightmare drops, it will not affect high-level players. Benefit"

"Perhaps this will cause dissatisfaction among gold-earning players. After all, they all earn gold, so why can't they get the best NPC followers... However, this update is originally an update that reduces the difficulty of obtaining them. They should be happy.……"

"Moreover, you will not always be ordinary followers. The home system has [Follower Temple]. These ordinary NPCs can be upgraded through the Follower Temple, including upgrading AI level, professional level, emotional system, etc... …This is the super development system, NPC wife (husband) development plan, players will be crazy about it!"

"There’s no need to worry about followers being ruined. After all, followers (Nono’s) have unique attributes, and those super-popular NPCs are limited.……"

"Yes, I am simply a genius!"

Zhang Xingyu even praised himself for his change.

"Phew, the 2.0 era has passed for a long time, and there are still too few players who have gained followers. Some players may have some complaints about this [visible but intangible followers] system... It’s time for an update."

"Then, set a condition for unlocking items in the follower mall... This update is almost done, well... add a new game."

Zhang Xingyu has no doubt that this update will cause a huge shock among players. After all, the follower system, which has always been only a distant view and cannot be played with, finally has news!

Just seeing this piece of news , Zhang Xingyu will probably gain a lot of excitement and energy.

There is still some time before the update, and while bored, Zhang Xingyu suddenly thought of something

"By the way, I remember that something happened in the country before. I don’t know if it has been resolved now.……"
