Boss Rabbit held out his big white hand. A giant blue screen lit up.
On the screen, transparent figures were outlined with names underneath them.
[Zhuqi], [Zhulili], [Kal'tsit], [Po], [Meiyatu], [Liu Changqing], [Ghost Laote], [Guangli], [Rococo], [Qin Huanya]...
There are more than a thousand densely packed names appearing on this blue screen. These characters have different shapes and sizes, and include men, women, young and old.
The clothes they wore were a mixture of Chinese and Western styles, including armor, robes, cloth, ritual robes, cheongsams... Su Mingan even saw people wearing Hanfu, Lolita, bikinis...
A variety of character images are arranged one after another, as if asking "Please choose your hero."
"These are the NPCs in the eighth world." Boss Rabbit said, "You can choose a replacement for your clone from among them. After the replacement is successful, your clone is best to patrol the site without arousing suspicion from other NPCs - because once the clone is killed by any unit before completing 100% of the patrol progress, it means that the mission of the person in power has failed."
"I see." Su Mingan nodded.
He immediately began to screen these NPCs of various shapes and sizes and select suitable replacements.
Frankly speaking, one can tell what type of world a world is by looking at all the NPCs in it. But judging from the appearance and clothing of these people, Su Mingan was completely unable to make an accurate judgment.
...The way these people dress is a "cultural hodgepodge", a mixture of not only Chinese and Western styles, but also a combination of ancient and modern styles. Apart from being able to judge that this is not a future technological world, it is impossible to tell what specific type of world this is.
These characters were not introduced, only given names, and he could only judge their identities from their clothes.
Su Mingan thought for a moment.
First of all, if you want to choose a replacement NPC, you must not choose the one who is obviously the big boss of the faction. The boss has many subordinates around him, and it is easy to see that there is something wrong with the clone.
Second, don’t choose the one that is particularly weak.
Third, choose someone who seems to have simple interpersonal relationships and should not have many familiar aunts and uncles around him.
Fourth, don’t choose those who look easy to bully. The clone should try to avoid fighting with the top players.
Su Mingan's mind was clear, but looking at the rows of NPCs with only names, he felt a little confused.
Through the previous copies, he has understood that judging a person by his appearance is not advisable, and it is very foolish to judge a person's identity by his appearance - after all, in the original Seventh World, who would have thought that the viscount who seemed ordinary at the beginning would be the god of the final BOSS Yunshang City?
Judging a person's identity simply by his or her appearance is a very blind act.
He raised his eyelids and glanced at Boss Rabbit.
The rabbit's pair of eyeballs flashed mechanically under the pink light. At this moment, it did not have the spirituality it had before. It looked like a rabbit-shaped robot.
...like a machine possessed and controlled by someone behind the scenes.
"You have two minutes to choose." Boss Rabbit said, "Now, all players are in the process of allocating their initial identities. In another two minutes, everyone will be teleported together."
Su Mingan looked at the panel again and was still thinking - it would be impossible to make a choice just by looking at the character's appearance, which was almost like a blind choice.
But after thinking for a while, he had a new idea. From the perspective of game mechanics...he might have a better choice.
"Boss Rabbit... No, the organizer." Su Mingan raised his head: "Can I know the information about this instance in advance?"
"No, you still have one minute and forty-five seconds to choose," said Boss Rabbit.
...Can't we get any information in advance?
Su Mingan has learned that, based on the Trili Town copy in the fourth world, a purely "competitive" world would require a "guide" to introduce the rules of the entire world.
In the Trili Town dungeon, it was the key figure "Mayor" who introduced the rules.
...According to the clues Noel told him, the eighth world is a multi-copy game that requires collecting things like 'Silver Stars'...The rules of this world should be similar to a level-breaking copy, which requires players to go through small levels one by one and use them to determine the final 'only' winner.
Based on what Boss Rabbit had just said, 'In two minutes, everyone will be teleported together', he could guess that in a multi-copy competitive world like the Eighth World, the copy needed an initial 'rule introducer' to allow players to understand the rules of collecting 'Silver Stars'.
This "rules introducer" may be an NPC from the original dungeon world, but in this case, the NPC introducing this overly game-like mechanism would be a bit ooc.
Therefore, he thought that the more likely possibility was to let the spokesperson Boss Rabbit introduce the rules at the beginning.
So, Boss Rabbit...
——Is it considered a replaceable "NPC"?
Su Mingan found that he seemed to have found the best option.
