"I really shouldn’t underestimate the notes," Feng Xue comnted. As she browsed through the player’s own ga forum, she spotted that player surnad Lincoln who had died, which made her lips twitch. She thought the note for the "Acupoint Master" equipnt was already dangerously misleading, but the puns were even more hazardous.
For instance, this gaming helt—everyone else just used it to enter the ga, but the guy nad Lincoln put it on and instantly died from a swelling head...
Although there was no evidence, Feng Xue simply didn’t believe that this was a genuine case of sudden hydrocephalus causing death.
She shook her head, skipped over that piece of information, and quietly waited for the players to return. Contrary to her expectation that players would rush in as soon as the server opened, her six young apprentices hadn’t logged in directly.
But, thinking about it, it made sense. The ga itself had no settings like experience points or levels, the core gaplay was about exploring the world rather than leveling up.
While there were inevitably players who felt "antsy" if they hadn’t played for a month, before the ga had the capability for full monetization, most people besides a few strears and professional players weren’t going to log in early in the morning like her.
Or rather, players tended to be more pragmatic. Even if the ga was entertaining, work and other commitnts were still priorities. As for quitting their job to play a new VR ga just because it was launched...
Unless they were Reborn, that simply wasn’t happening!
...
As a player’s character loitered around the big pagoda tree village for quite a while, nurous nearby player groups had already sought her out. Seeing the old players increasingly gathering, Feng Xue quietly enabled the feature for queuing up at the factory to claim a Gundam.
Feng Xue was a person who kept her promises. Since she had promised those who worked as "screwdrivers" old players that they’d receive chas, they certainly would. As for those newbies and newcors who hadn’t turned any screws, sorry, but please just watch from the sidelines.
What’s the most important thing about playing online gas?
Is it the intensity?
No!
If you like character developnt, go play mobile gas!
If you like to challenge yourself, go play Souls-like gas!
Playing online gas is all about feeling superior!
I have sothing others don’t, even if it’s just a non-attributed trashy costu, it’s still a top-tier treasure.
Not to ntion a cha, which was overwhelmingly powerful among the current player classes!
But it was a pity, maybe because the Gundam squadron only appeared on the last day of the beta test, the news about mass-produced Gundams and the Gundam factory didn’t spark much discussion. Those who claid that turning screws could earn a Gundam were mostly considered bragging or tricked by NPCs. After all, from a simple cognition that effort equals reward, the idea that turning screws in a smithy for a month would earn a Gundam seed too fantastical.
However, it didn’t matter that no legend had ford yet. Once these few hundred players started riding their Gundams around, wreaking havoc in the ga, it wouldn’t take long for corresponding legends to form, whether it would be "Two Hundred Gundam Protectors" or "Turn Screws to Get a Gundam" depended on historical opportunities.
Feng Xue was actually quite curious; if a player could bring back the "Turn Screws for Gundam" legend into reality, would turning screws in reality yield a Gundam?
One by one, Gundams ca off the assembly line. Feng Xue intentionally turned off her powers to check whether the machines were able to operate autonomously.
As it turned out, the "Follow the Map" power did have a function to "add rules" in so sense. Even after she shut off her powers, the chas produced on the assembly line were still True Objects, with performance no different from the ones she produced with her powers, although the rate of perfect products dropped slightly due to chanical variance, which was more in line with normal conditions.
Of course, if this factory were to beco mythical in the players’ legends in the future, that might be a different scenario altogether.
He did not plan to interfere too much with this matter; he even intended to hand over the factory and its supporting industrial system directly to the village chief. Infinite City, with its setting as the pinnacle of cha, made an ordinary assembly line redundant for him, as he could craft ordinary chanical bodies by hand. Instead, he preferred to use this opportunity to experint with the unique traits of Kaidan in the ga.
For instance, would the native inhabitants of this world turn into Kaidan after death because of the factory?
Could Daikachi Village possibly beco an independent Kaidan-like Infinite City in the folklore of "Real World" players?
And wouldn’t the factory add certain traits to the ga’s Kaidan, potentially influencing its next ga choice to select a sci-fi world involving cha?
Of course, he knew this world was the Real World, but considering Infinite City’s own capability to select worlds, he believed these massive Kaidan might also possess the ability to subjectively choose worlds.
If this was indeed true, the ga world’s selection chanism was then understandable—
Initially, players, influenced by novels, gas, animations, and movies, as well as the deteriorating state of online gas in reality, developed a collective desire to play imrsive virtual reality gas, forming the early basis of the "Mystery Ga Company" Kaidan.
Subsequently, possibly due to influences from online novels, this Kaidan further ingrained the setup of imrsive virtual reality gas and acquired related powers.
Thus, the first fully imrsive virtual reality ga was born.
And why was it set in Martial World?
That was easy to understand.
After all, the initial inner tests all concentrated in Yan Country indicated that the Yan people were primarily building this Kaidan, possibly because of abundant population, national peace, or the influence of online gaming novels.
When the Yan people wanted to play gas, they faced several issues.
Firstly, since it was a ga of fantasy, it needed to be a masterwork.
Considering the poor gaming environnt in Yan Country, it had to have its own unique style, rather than just imitating others.
What kind of ga has its own style?
Many independent gas had already demonstrated the answer—
Gas that incorporate cultural elents of Yan Country.
That is: Martial Arts, Immortal Arts, Myth.
Then, Kaidan began to capture worlds, but considering the strength issue of Kaidan itself, worlds related to Myth and Immortal Arts were obviously tougher to capture. Even if captured, players might not enjoy much of a gaming experience, hence Martial World naturally beca the new gaming world.
Although all this was just Feng Xue’s speculation, he felt it was really worth trying out, especially compared to the almost randomized world selections of Infinite City, this world’s capturing thod clearly appeared more subjective.
If this experint succeeded, he could next fully manipulate players into leading this ga’s Kaidan to capture worlds he desired as ga settings, and he would no longer need to rely on Infinite City’s randomness.
The only problem might be that the cycle could be sowhat lengthy.
As Feng Xue perfected his plans for probing and experinting in his mind, he wasn’t worried at all about a GM’s Descent; indeed, if there really were a GM in this ga’s Kaidan, he would actually look forward to their Descent.
After all, who would want to solve riddles when they could have a direct conversation?
Just as Feng Xue reflected, a subtle flow of information suddenly entered his vision. Following this stream of information, one end undoubtedly connected to the six exclusive machines he had produced, and the other end—
Who could it be if not his bargain apprentice?
