Sitting on the chair, Fang Zheng nodded while looking at the information in front of him.
He got these from Bai Yasha, mainly to see what the routine of this world's gift game is. Now it seems that the routine of this world's gift game is quite simple. To put it simply, there are two types.
Just like what Shiroyasha had asked Kuon Chidori and Kasukabe Yō before - it is divided into "challenge" and "duel".
The so-called duel, like the one between Fang Zheng and Garde, and between Fang Zheng and Snow White, is that both parties make their own bets, determine the rules, and the winner takes all.
But if it's a challenge, it's like the speed challenge between Kasukabe Yo and the Griffin. The organizer proposes a game, and you go to challenge the levels. If you win, you get a prize, and if you lose... of course there will be a loss.
However, generally speaking, the risk factor of a challenge is not low. For example, in the competition between Kasukabe Yao and the griffin, the griffin is betting on its dignity and honor, while Kasukabe Yao is betting on her life. This is an example of the two sides not being equal, so the difficulty of the game is increased. The griffin is a mythical beast after all, and Kasukabe Yao is just a mortal even if she has the gift, so if Kasukabe Yao does not put enough stakes, the griffin will not agree to compete with her.
This is just like Fang Zheng and Snow White. If Snow White can't offer enough stakes, Fang Zheng won't pay any attention to her.
According to the information provided by Baiyasha, each community will provide some challenging gift competitions, most of which are based on the legends of their community, such as the Twelve Trials or the Minoan Labyrinth. If you can pass them, you will naturally get a gift, but if you can't pass them, then... well, it's terrible.
In addition, there are also some gift games held during festivals, most of which are of a gladiatorial nature. In short, the gift games in the box garden are quite dangerous and require certain abilities and strengths, otherwise there is basically only one way to die.
As for the gifts themselves, they are divided into two types, one is ability and the other is equipment. The "power" of Kuon Asuka belongs to the former, while Kasukabe Aori's "Life Catalog" belongs to the latter. According to Kasukabe Aori, she was originally just a sickly girl who couldn't even get out of bed and walk. Later, her father gave her this wooden sculpture called "Life Catalog", and she got better and had the ability to gain the characteristics of other animals by making friends with them.
What Fangzheng is doing now is actually equivalent to holding a "gift game" with no time limit.
The other party needs to pay money as a reward, and what they get is game time in the Gift Game. At the same time, the things obtained in the Gift Game can also be used in reality - Fang Zheng is the God of Games after all, if he can't even do this, he is too weak. In fact, even if he is asked to make Frostmourne in front of him now, Fang Zheng said there is no problem.
Maybe it's even better than the one Arthas has.
Fang Zheng is sure that this "Gift Game" he designed will be a big hit, because the professional skills and equipment in the game can be used, but at the current level of the game, the improvement after entering the game will not be too great. After all, this is an online game, and it is normal for equipment to be constantly updated and abilities to be constantly upgraded.
It's not like in many myths, where you get a piece of equipment and it will last you a lifetime.
Of course, Founder also made some adjustments.
For example, in the game, a player's durability will be reduced every time they die, and if the durability of their equipment is reduced too much, they have to return to the city to repair it. But Fang Zheng certainly won't simply punish the players of this world for death. On the contrary, he has set another rule, that is, every time a player dies, a certain amount of time points will be deducted - yes, Fang Zheng said that this gift game uses a point card system, and if you die a few times, you can't even enter the game!
Not only that, Fang Zheng also referred to the 60-level version of World of Warcraft and set up new professions. In addition to the warrior, hunter, thief, priest, shaman, mage, and warlock professions, players can also choose the additional paladin, druid, demon hunter, and death knight by paying for DLC. Four "DLC limited professions".
To put it bluntly, the rewards given by Fang Zheng's gift game are not particularly powerful, but it can provide most ordinary box garden residents with the ability to participate in those powerful gift games!
So, as for games, they should come from the masses and go to the masses. We should not follow the upper-class elite route, but develop and improve the entire population. Considering the dangers of the sandbox world, the residents here are obviously very concerned about improving themselves. If they can be provided with a low-risk game mode that can obtain a certain degree of improvement by spending money, time and energy, they will definitely not miss this opportunity.
Of course, this would not only expand the influence of Tiandao Palace, but also allow Fang Zheng to absorb divine power. When these players used the equipment and skills in the game, and used the thinking methods in the game to fight, they would be considered as Fang Zheng's followers, and thus would be able to provide him with more game divine power. This would be like a snowball effect. The more players that participated, the stronger the divine power Fang Zheng could obtain, and the more powerful the equipment and monsters he could create with the divine power.
Maybe one day, when Fang Zheng, the God of Games, breaks through the limits of his powerful divine power, he will be able to create a Deathwing with just a wave of his hand.
“Hehehe…”
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng couldn't help but laugh out loud with satisfaction. In this way, as long as the game of Tiandao Palace was rolled out throughout the entire box garden, it would only be a matter of time before this box garden world became his own divine domain!
When most of the residents in the box garden have the game equipment and skills he provides, then this world itself will be swallowed up by Fang Zheng. The remaining gods and Buddhas can't cause any waves at all!
This is peaceful evolution!
But before that...
"You've been staring at me outside for half the night. If you have something to say, just tell me. I'm going to bed soon, okay?"
Fang Zheng put down the information in his hand and turned to look out the window in boredom. As he spoke, he saw countless thick vines suddenly appear outside the window, which was originally empty. They directly knocked the window open, and then in mid-air, a girl wearing a red coat, a black shirt and trousers quietly emerged from the darkness and slowly landed on the windowsill.
She has beautiful long golden hair and blood-red eyes. Well... just these features are enough to guess her identity.
"Who are you?"
"I'm Leticia."
The beautiful blonde girl spoke calmly.
"I used to be a member of No Name."
"Come to think of it, Black Rabbit did say that all the companions of the community were captured by the Demon King... You are one of them, right? Um, please take a seat."
Fang Zheng stretched out his hand and pointed at the chair opposite.
"So, what brought you back this time? Judging from your appearance, you didn't escape. Did you come here to kill all your former companions on behalf of the demon king?"
"No, I am no longer a member of the Demon King."
Hearing Fang Zheng's question, a trace of sadness flashed in Leticia's eyes, and then she lowered her eyes.
"Would you like a cup of hot tea? Or blood? I know a vampire who likes to drink heated blood... Which one would you like?"
"Just plain tea, thank you."
Leticia sat opposite Fang Zheng and looked at him.
"In fact, I was sold out by the Demon King a long time ago. Now I am nothing more than a property of the community."
"Oh... that's really bad luck."
Fang Zheng shrugged.
"So what's the matter with you coming here this time?"
"I originally heard that Kuro Usagi was planning to rebuild the community as 'No name', so I secretly asked someone to help me come here, hoping to persuade her to give up such a stupid move... To be honest, I was really angry, because they must know how difficult it is to rebuild the community as 'No name'."
"I also asked Kurotogi and Ren."
Fang Zheng nodded.
"Just like you thought, I also think that without the name and flag, it is meaningless to guard a barren land and struggle to hold on. As the saying goes, if you keep the green mountains, you will never worry about the lack of firewood. If you ask me, they should rebuild a new small community, grow up down to earth, and then try to take back what they have lost from the devil. But unfortunately, they insist on protecting their homeland and waiting for their lost companions to come back."
"What a bunch of idiots."
Hearing this, Leticia gave a bitter smile, then she looked at Fang Zheng again.
"But at this time, I suddenly learned that a new community had formed an alliance with 'No name' and easily recaptured a godhood holder, so I came here. I want to know why you want to form an alliance with 'No name'?"
As she spoke, the blonde girl stared at Fang Zheng with her bright red eyes.
"I have heard about your situation. You are a newcomer who was just summoned to the Little Garden, but you defeated Garde easily. Although the beast itself is not a very powerful contestant, many people are still puzzled by how you defeated it without using any gifts and completely abiding by the rules of the game. Not only that, you even made the followers of the water god bow down to you. With your powerful strength, even if you start from scratch, you will surely be able to quickly become a powerful community. However, you allied with such a weak 'No name'... So, I want to ask you, why did you do this?"
"Since you asked, it doesn't hurt for me to tell you."
Facing Leticia's gaze, Fang Zheng smiled and stared at her.
“I want to gain the world.”
"……?"
"To put it simply, I hope to become the owner of this small garden. I want to make this world mine. Do you understand what I mean?"
"You...what are you talking about? This is simply impossible!"
Hearing this, Leticia widened her eyes in surprise, stood up and looked at Fang Zheng.
"How do you know if you don't try? Your community once dominated the entire East District, so you should be able to understand this idea. However, my goal is not the East District, but the entire Little Garden. To do this, of course I will have conflicts with many powerful beings. However, if I go to their doors one by one and kick them, it will seem rude and disrespectful, and it will be tasteless."
"But what does this have to do with your alliance with 'No name'?"
“It’s very simple.”
Fang Zheng snapped his fingers.
"The goal of 'No name' is to defeat the demon king and take back their flag and name. What about me? As long as we continue to expand, we will encounter similar things sooner or later. In this case, our interests are the same. Not only that, 'No name' will also encounter a lot of trouble. Defeating the demon king means that they will grow stronger again, attracting more enemies and attention. Hmm... maybe you can understand it this way. In my opinion, 'No name' is mainly responsible for attracting hatred, while we, the Tiandao Palace, are mainly responsible for dealing damage... Do you understand?"
"It seems like I understand a little bit, but it also seems like I don't understand a little bit..."
Leticia tilted her head and frowned slightly, while Fang Zheng waved his hand.
"But it doesn't matter. I almost understand what you mean. In short, you want to see my strength and see if I am just bragging. That's fine. If I remember correctly, you should have fought with the Demon King. Then you should have a deep understanding of how powerful the Demon King is. So why not play a game with me? I believe your question will be answered soon."
Hearing this, Leticia's eyes lit up and she nodded.
"I agree."
Soon, the two left the villa and came to an open space behind the base.
"I say, can we play a game of grace?"
Fang Zheng looked at Leticia opposite him and put forward his own suggestions.
"Like if you lose to me, you'll come back here or something?"
"This is a very attractive proposal, but unfortunately, my current identity is just someone else's property, and I don't have the qualifications to choose the gift game on my own."
“What a pity.”
Fang Zheng shrugged, then he looked at Leticia again.
"Then let's do this. The rules are the same as in Garde. As long as you can hit me, you win. I will still stand here and not use any grace. However, since this is not a grace game, it won't lead to any deaths."
"Then let me see what you can do."
Hearing this, Leticia flew into the air again, then she stretched out her hand and took out a crimson card. Then, with a flash of light, a spear appeared next to Leticia's hand. Then, the blonde girl clenched the spear and stared at Fang Zheng.
"I am coming!!"
As she said this, Leticia raised the spear in her hand high up. At the same time, jet-black wings spread out from behind her to both sides. Then, Leticia gripped the spear tightly and aimed at Fang Zheng. The next moment, she dropped from the sky like an arrow and shot towards Fang Zheng!
