Although Bai Liu knew that his plan had a chance of success, he had to admit that the final result was much better than he had expected.

The props in the game seemed to have a bonus effect. The burning state of these barrels of high-concentration alcohol was much more exaggerated than the burning of alcohol that Bai Liu had seen in real life. The same was true of the high-intensity flashlight before. It was so bright that it almost blinded people.

As the sun rose over the sea and the sky brightened, these mermaids, who were afraid of light and hibernated during the day and came out at night, gradually dived under the sea and disappeared without a trace.

Bai Liu confirmed that there were no mermaids around before he turned his attention to opening the panel.

He had not had time to look at it before because he was busy grilling, no, fighting the mermaids. However, now Bai Liu looked at the information on the panel and couldn't help but squint his eyes.

[Side quest: Jelf's bloody conspiracy, 90% completion]

Andre has been killed, and the driver was burned to death by Bai Liu. This side quest still has 10% of progress to complete... How do we complete this 10% of [Bloody Conspiracy]?

[Points balance: 684, do you want to purchase the item? ]

Bai Liu stared at the suddenly soaring points for a while, then he opened the panel and checked the points details, and found that more than 500 points came from [Charging].

That is to say, he worked hard all night last night, and more than 80% of the points were not earned from completing tasks in the game system, but from rewards from the audience.

Bai Liu seemed to be thinking about something - in other words, audience points are easier to earn than game points, and there are many more of them.

This is not very reasonable, because the rewards of the game itself are lower than the rewards outside the game, which will make players passive in the game and make them make some choices in order to please things outside the game, or simply not play the game. Wouldn't it be better to directly use some gimmicks to attract the audience and let the audience reward?

Especially when points can be used to purchase items directly, if Bai Liu has enough points from rewards, he can just buy a lot of items and then brute force his way through the game, which would make the game completely useless.

Bai Liu would not design this kind of game, and he thought that this system would not be able to do so either.

There must be some kind of reward in this game that can balance the reward system inside and outside the game, making players want to get rewards from within the game more rather than outside the game.

Bai Liu repeatedly turned the coin over and over on his fingers. In this game, all the mission rewards are instant, which means that you can get points immediately after completing the mission, but there is one exception -

——That’s the monster book.

This kind of reward is only given after collecting all the pages of the book, and it can only be issued after completing the level. Generally speaking, this kind of reward that is only issued after completing the level should be very large.

But now, looking at the reward points, Bai Liu felt that he had underestimated the importance of the monster book.

Bai Liu now feels that the reward given by the monster book at the end may not only be large, but also very precious, and the kind that cannot be easily purchased with points. This is the only way to balance the reward mechanism inside and outside the game.

Bai Liu opened the monster book and looked at each page for a while. Finally, his eyes stopped at the page "Siren King", which was not unlocked at all, and paused.

[Siren Town Monster Book - The Siren King (2/4)]

[Monster Name: Siren King]

[Weakness: None (players are not required to explore the monster's weaknesses)]

[Attack method: ? ? ? (Unknown, to be explored)]

[Note: This is a wandering god-level NPC, the danger level is extremely high, please explore with caution]

This requires exploring the attack method... From the previous monsters, the attack method is that they initiate the attack, and the player has completed the exploration here.

But if a monster of the Siren King's level were to attack Bai Liu, he felt that he was doomed to fail.

However, it is not the style of this miser to let Bai Liu know that there is such a huge and lucrative reward here and then just leave it alone.

If Bai Liu knew how cruel this NPC was, and had heard all the deeds of this bug-like NPC in the legend, he might have given up.

After all, when making games, the thing we fear most is bugs. Bugs are not part of the game itself and have no logic, so players cannot fight against them.

But Bai Liu doesn't know now.

Not only did Bai Liu not know, he also regarded this NPC as a boss guarding the level. He thought that if he defeated the opponent, the reward would be huge, and the game must have a solution. No matter what boss it was, there must be a way to fight it.

Bai Liu stared at it for a while, then he uttered a soft "tsk" sound, closed the monster book, and opened the game store: [I want to buy props]

[What props do players need? Recently, there is a discount promotion for underwater bubbles. Do players need it? ]

Bai Liu took a look and found that, as expected, the prop "Underwater Bubble" in "Siren Town" had been reduced from 70 points to 40 points.

Next to [Water Bubbles], there is now [High-Proof Alcohol] on the popular item list. This is an item that Bai Liu had bought before. The price of [High-Proof Alcohol] has increased from 9 points per barrel to almost 13 points per barrel.

Looking at the price changes, Bai Liu smiled.

He guessed correctly that the gaming process on his side would provide feedback to the audience, causing changes in their purchasing preferences, just like live streaming sales.

As long as Bai Liu can achieve the same effect with other cheaper props, players will flock to buy them, causing the prop price curve to change.

Moreover, this "Siren Town" should be a game copy with a small user pool, so the price fluctuates so quickly.

For example, Bai Liu used a 3D projector and a flashlight to pass the "Siren Wax Museum" map. The conventional solution to that map should be to use the flaming torch, but Bai Liu passed it easily with several persistent props, and even outperformed the flaming torch, a consumable item.

At similar prices, players would definitely prefer to buy durable items, so the price of the flame torch is lowered, while the price of the 3D projector is increased.

This time Bai Liu used the same trick again, because the price of [Bubbles in Water] would drop at this moment, so he could save the money from the price difference.

Bai Liu smiled: [I want to buy an underwater bubble]

[OK, 40 points, thank you for your patronage]

Seeing Bai Liu preparing to buy underwater bubbles, Wang Shun, who had rushed all the way from the death comedy area to the single-player game area, approached the small TV in confusion.

After confirming that Bai Liu really bought an underwater bubble, Wang Shun fell into even greater confusion: "...Why did he start buying underwater bubbles again?"

"I remember that the rest of "Siren Town" was mostly land chases, and there wasn't much use of underwater bubbles..."

A player who had come over nearby also made a well-reasoned analysis: "Bai Liu has a lot of points now, and he didn't know that the rest of the game would be mostly land pursuit stations, so he might have bought one just in case. It's not expensive anyway, only forty."

"He now has more than 600 points and spent 40 points to buy himself an underwater bubble, which is equivalent to buying an insurance policy. After all, alcohol is still too risky."

But Wang Shun had followed Bai Liu all the way here, and he already had some understanding of Bai Liu's style of spending all his points on the most important things.

Before, Bai Liuning was willing to take the risk to buy alcohol, which was a relatively high-risk, low-investment option, but was unwilling to spend more points to buy bubbles in water, which was a low-risk, high-investment option.

But now, in order to avoid risks, I spend 50 points to buy an underwater bubble just in case...

Wang Shun inexplicably felt that Bai Liu would not do such a thing.

Wang Shun even had an extremely absurd idea, that is, Bai Liu was buying the underwater bubbles now because he was manipulating the price through a series of operations, waiting for the moment when the price of the underwater bubbles dropped so that he could buy them and save money.

Wang Shun muttered to himself as he thought about it.

Because he was immersed in his own thoughts, Wang Shun spoke loudly, and his mumbling was heard by the spectator player next to him.

The player couldn't help but retort: ​​"Are you a crazy fan of Bai Liu? And you're manipulating the price?... He's a newbie who hasn't released any games yet. I admit he's good at playing games, but manipulating the price of items is really too much."

The player's attitude was somewhat perfunctory and casual: "I think he just experienced such an exciting night and was scared. When he saw the money, he immediately bought some life-saving props. I think he used alcohol before because he was gambling..."

The player even muttered at the end: "It's just gambling, it's nothing special, but I actually made it to the single-player division with this."

There was a hint of uncontrollable jealousy on the player's face when he talked about this. He seemed to think that although Bai Liu had put in some thought to get to the [Single Player Division], it was mostly a win by taking shortcuts.

The forum was also heatedly discussing how Bai Liu passed the level by killing the mermaid with alcohol. After the initial wave of praise, more and more people began to mock Bai Liu for taking shortcuts.

Similar to the player who was judging Bai Liu, most of them had a disdainful and sour attitude, with an "I can do it too" attitude:

[What is this operation? I thought of it at first, but there is a more secure plan in front of me. Why should I choose a higher risk plan? ]

[Oh, what a pretentious person. It's not the first time I've seen one. Aren't there enough pretentious people in death comedies? ]

[I am dying of laughter. I bought nine bottles of alcohol, used four, and left five unused for raising mermaids? For those who boast that this operation saves money, let me do the math for you. The eighty-one points here are eleven points more expensive than the original bubbles in the water! ]

[Some people just brag without thinking, right? His method of clearing the level is really useless except for the visual effect.]

[And after clearing the level, this guy got the reward points, and he immediately bought the underwater bubbles without saying anything. He must have given up and thought that alcohol was not good and the underwater bubbles were better. If you have the guts, continue to burn with alcohol. I'll see how you burn it when you land. The mermaid wax statue can't be burned at all! ]
