Nightmare Lord's virtual game

Also in the second round, Xiesta's situation is much better than that of other ordinary players, because ordinary players basically follow the normal route to enter the village, which is the route Xiesta is taking now. However, in the first round, the players were hastily arranged to Xiushui Village. Most players have not even figured out the situation (there are also a few "overthinking" players who are still thinking about the problem of Fujira Village). They don't know many villagers. Suddenly, thick fog broke out, and the Huangquan Banquet came.

There are too many factors that are unfavorable to players in the "Werewolf" game. For example, the player did not help the reporter Ma Gong when he was looking for a place to stay, or helped more than he could do. Ma Gong might also stay in the car at night like the cameraman... Obviously, the two of them would not survive a day. At the Huangquan Banquet the next day, without Ma Gong, the pressure on the players increased exponentially. Many players could not bear the pressure, or said the wrong words at the banquet, or did something extreme, and were directly executed by the villagers.

Even if you help reporter Ma Gong survive the first day, there are still many death traps in the game, and players can easily die.

Because they die too early, the first death of most players is basically meaningless... They are not familiar with the situation in Xiushui Village, do not know the specific legends, and are not even familiar with the villagers of Xiushui Village.

In this regard, although Xiesta died in the first round, her familiarity with Xiushui Village exceeds that of more than 99.9% of Nightmare players.

The probability of death triggering in the hidden route is indeed lower than that in normal play, but there are still some, and a few still require certain reasoning ability to avoid... Data statistics from the Nightmare World show that about 500,000 players have triggered the hidden route, of which 450,000 are hidden routes that they actively choose in the second round, and more than 50,000 are directly entered in the first round.

However, only Xiesta can survive to the last day of the hidden route.

This hidden route is a "must-die" route from the beginning of design. No matter how you choose, you will die in the end. The difference lies in how long the player can survive.

The longer you live, the more likely you are to get valuable information. For example, Shesta got the "real legend" and the key "raccoon dog". In addition, there is the gameplay of the "Yellow Springs Banquet", the information of each villager, etc., which can be said to be a lot of gains.

For detectives, intelligence is the most powerful weapon. Only with weapons can they fight back.

This is also the reason why the hidden route exists and why the game has three lives, because in theory, without knowing anything, basically no player can survive the Yellow Springs Banquet.

Of course, the hidden route is not absolutely impossible to pass. After all, the game's clearance conditions are to choose one of two, not both. So if you just survive, the hidden route is also possible, but the requirements are extremely strict, which can be said to have reached the point of perversion - relying on combat ability to survive.

Killing countless mad dogs in the fog, even including "humanoidBOSS wolf", "giant wolf" and other powerful existences... This requires players to have super strong combat power, powerful skills and weapons, and absolute familiarity with the terrain...

These all need to be found by players in the game, because there is no way to use the home system for hidden routes.

Zhang Xingyu feels that if he wants to survive in the hidden route and complete the game, he is probably the only one who can do it, because he knows who has weapons in the village, where there are hidden passages, where is suitable for fighting, etc.... And the most important one is to see through the "truth" of Huangquan Ji Feast.

The last one is very critical, because even if the player brings powerful weapons and combat skills through the home system, it is very difficult to survive through the battle, which involves the second completion of the game Condition "Uncover the truth", players need to know what the "Yellow Spring Taboo Banquet" is, including the origin of the Yellow Spring Taboo Banquet, true and false legends, operation methods, rules, etc. One of the important questions is:

Is the Yellow Spring Taboo Banquet man-made or a supernatural phenomenon.

If it is man-made, how does it operate, such as the formation of fog, how pollution is triggered, how werewolves kill people, etc.

If it is a supernatural phenomenon, what caused this supernatural phenomenon.

Even if the player can guess it, it is useless, because this requires evidence. The truth is not what you think in your heart, but the truth that needs to be proved.

If the player cannot prove the truth, then in the myth challenge, the Yellow Spring Taboo Banquet The principle of the feast is "supernatural phenomena caused by gods", which means that players need to fight against strange supernatural phenomena, and it is almost impossible to win.........

Whether Huangquan Ji Banquet is a supernatural phenomenon or man-made is actually a huge controversial point in the original work. Because after playing the first few rounds, most players feel that Huangquan Ji Banquet is absolutely impossible to be man-made, it is a "supernatural phenomenon". However, later, as the protagonist gradually solves the mystery, this "supernatural phenomenon" is proved to be man-made!

Because some of the explanations are a bit far-fetched, many players who have played the game think it is ridiculous - it is better to say "supernatural phenomenon"!

Is it a supernatural phenomenon or man-made? In the end, the game did not give a final answer. However, in the post-game talk, a tricky method was used to explain that the male protagonist Fang Shi Yangming's ability, one of the demonic prototypes, the ability of the "trickster" (detective).........

Although the original work did not have a final answer, Zhang Xingyu felt that this was just right. Although the answer of the trickster could not be said to be perfect, it was very interesting. So in this game, Zhang Xingyu also gave all players this ability. Of course, because of the "incomplete" system, the players did not know that they were given this ability, nor did they know the specific triggering conditions of this ability.

Although she survived to the last day in the hidden route and obtained a lot of important information, in the second round, Shesta was still very cautious.For example, at the beginning of the game, she did not show that she was familiar with Xiushui Village, nor did she use her knowledge of what was about to happen to find out the information about Huangquan Ji Banquet. She only investigated and inquired based on the information obtained in the second round and reasonable speculation. She was very cautious, even a little too cautious.

However, this caution is also one of the reasons why Xiesta was able to survive to the last day in the hidden route. If the player reveals what is about to happen, or some information that outsiders should not know, it will easily arouse the vigilance of Xiushui people-Xiushui Village and Fujiliang Village do not have a good relationship, and the player came through Fujiliang Village, which is easy to be targeted. Now he is talking about those things...

-What do you want to do? Tell me, are you a spy sent by Fujiliang Village!

There are many players who were executed at the banquet because of this situation.
