Chapter 366: Achieve Immortality!
The thoughts in Lu Ming's mind were turning faster and faster, and becoming clearer and clearer!
The setting of “one deduction per week” is absolutely a stroke of genius!
However, this setting
Although it is cruel enough and worthy of criticism, problems also arise.
Wouldn't that be too dissuading?
After all, not all players are patient cultivators.
What if players find it troublesome and simply give up deduction and stop playing the game?
If the player really doesn't deduce, then what's the point of the "entry selection" he worked so hard to come up with?
The key to this game is the entry! After the simulation is complete, you will be given one of three options.
Entries can affect attributes, trigger special tasks, and even change the direction of subsequent plots.
Soon, Lu Ming's mind was like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, continuing to run wildly on the road of how to make players love, hate and scold him.
He needs a mechanism, one that forces players to deduce.
They even go crazy to deduce the mechanism, but it also makes them feel deeply painful.
Lu Ming's eyes were burning, and a new concept emerged in his mind.
If players can't play games every day, then give them something to hope for.
"How about... a server-wide competition every week?"
Lu Ming suddenly had an idea and his thoughts became clear.
There's a competition every Sunday.
It’s called: Zhoutian Competition!
Just like in the world of cultivating immortals, the battles between sects and geniuses take place once a week, with all servers starting at the same time.
Players must use their own deduced characters and match them randomly.
"If you win, not only will you get a reward, you can also randomly steal one of the opponent's entries!"
"If you lose, one of your character's attributes will be dropped randomly!"
"The entry is gone. It's like waiting for a week in vain. It's all in vain!"
Yes! It has to be cruel!
This is the cruelty of the world of immortal cultivation! Only the winner can eat meat!
When it comes to cultivating immortality, how can there be steady growth?
Either soar into the sky or perish!
This is even more painful than not being able to draw a card!
Because you can't draw it, it just means "you didn't get it".
Losing an entry means "losing what you should have", which are two completely different emotions!
The emotional gap between them is enough to turn a Buddhist player into a "fury warrior" in an instant.
Write a 10,000-word essay on swearing in the comments section!
The setting of this kind of competition is just right for players to develop a "gambler mentality".
I am upset after losing, but there is still a chance next week.
I was overjoyed to win, but I became even more addicted.
Moreover, a buffer mechanism should be added to the number of deductions.
For example, the number of deductions can be stacked, but the upper limit is five times.
For example, if you haven't been online for two weeks, you can do a "three-game losing streak" in the third week.
However, no one would be stupid enough to "save it and not deduce it."
After all, if you don't push it, there will be no entries, no characters, and you will just be a waste when the Zhoutian competition starts.
However, the big match is the main rhythm point that widens the gap!
"So, this stacking limit is actually 'virtual'. Basically no one will use it. Instead, it will force them to be more cautious."
Lu Ming has even prepared for the players' inner struggles and conflicts:
"Should we do the deduction this week? Or wait a little longer? No, the competition is next week, and waiting any longer would be a waste of time!"
"Forget it, let's just push it, otherwise we won't even be eligible to participate."
This kind of entanglement and contradiction is the daily life of players.
"But, what do we do on weekdays without the big competition? We can't just order a simulation once a week."
Lu Ming thought for a moment:
"Or, just give players some light content on a regular basis."
"For example, sweeping up spiritual medicines, spiritual mines, and daily chores can be done in just over ten minutes every day."
“It’s best to do something so boring that players hate it, but they have to do it anyway.”
"For example, if you click once a day, you can get some spiritual medicine. When you accumulate them, you can make pills for your character to increase his lifespan or cultivation level."
"For example, if you dig spiritual ore every day, you can refine weapons and increase your character's attributes."
These things do not require complicated operations. Just click the button, complete the small animation, and get the reward.
"Hey, this kind of thing is great."
"And you can just hang out every day! And you can also earn entries in your daily life!"
"But daily actions are risky. If you encounter an irresistible danger, your character will die instantly!"
"But there is no risk of death when deducing!"
“This is the difference between having simulation and not having simulation!”
Simulation means safety.
Even if you deduce a seemingly ordinary plot,
But you may encounter monsters or step on traps in the process, but it is just a virtual drill after all, so it doesn’t matter if you die.
But if you really just wander around in your daily life...
hehe.
That would be really asking for trouble.
The character is dead and the players are cursing.
That’s a huge difference!
Then, in order to increase the strategy and depth of the game, Lu Ming came up with another setting.
"Win the Zhoutian Competition once and you can cultivate one more character!"
"Players can develop up to 5 characters, and each character can have up to 6 attributes!"
"This is also a setting that forces players to participate in the competition!"
This setting is also to give players something to play with, in case some unlucky person dies suddenly during a daily task!
If there is only one character, there will be no fun!
Moreover, this setting directly changes the game from a single-player deduction to a team development.
Players can no longer fight alone, they need to think about the positioning of the character, the matching of entries, and the combination of tactics.
Is it five-to-one? Or three cores and two supports?
Do you stack burst attributes and kill enemies instantly? Or do you choose survival attributes and play a war of attrition?
Players will go crazy trying to assemble their own "Dream Team"!
And this concept of "team" greatly increases the pain of "being reduced to ashes".
But, most importantly,
The weekly simulation can still only be used on one character!
No matter how many characters you have to choose from, you can only have one person simulate!
“That way, the structure becomes clear.”
"Playing hard to get is the long-term strategy."
Lu Ming went over the entire process again.
The first part is [Simulation and Deduction]
This is the big head.
A weekly deduction! A guaranteed entry!
Entries can be given to characters, and the characters will take the entries to the last Sunday competition!
In the Zhoutian competition, all players are matched together and a ranking list is created!
The loser drops an entry! The winner advances!
The second part is [Daily Chores]
Just click a button and it will be solved in ten minutes.
Boring? Yes, it's boring.
You can also hang out occasionally.
It seems casual, but it actually contains a mystery.
Maybe you can get a small entry for free, which makes the game very exciting.
It is also possible to "encounter an accident" and the character may die suddenly.
Various main lines, interlocking
The logical loop is perfectly established.
"Well, the framework is set up, the next step is... a name."
Lu Ming held his chin, and a hundred names flashed through his mind.
"Xiandao Simulator"? Too straightforward.
"I'm a Slick Immortal Cultivator"? A bit silly, but not quite calm enough.
"Derivation into Immortality"? It lacks momentum. No, no.
Then, Lu Ming thought of the ultimate goal of the game:
Players deduce, practice, and compete in the Zhoutian competition... isn't it all for the sake of immortality?
"Achieving enlightenment...immortality..."
Lu Ming's vision gradually became clear.
“It’s called ‘Certificate of Immortality’!”
