Chapter 94 The Infertile Warrior
"Brother Ba, I always thought you were a game producer!"
"Isn't it?"
Chen Ba's face was full of question marks. He didn't understand what Kun Kun meant.
If he is not a game producer, what else can he be? A Cybertronian? A M78ian? A Pig's Feet Fanian?
"No, I mean..."
Wang Kun waved his hands and said with a strange look in his eyes: "Are you here to cause trouble? Take a look at those expensive games you made. Which one is the real stuff?"
Forget about the cattle herding simulator.
It might be because Brother Ba was a rookie at that time and had not yet mastered the art of "cooking defense", so the defense flavor was not that strong.
The house speculation simulator is amazing! Brother Ba probably got the real estate developer's advice and went to a sales office for further study. The carefully designed mechanisms such as "floating interest rate of mortgage", "fateful reincarnation loan" and "second-hand house transaction" have won the praise of many veteran game producers.
During the "Star Emperor" period, Brother Ba's skills had greatly improved, and he broke the barrier between virtuality and reality in one fell swoop, allowing the game to shine into reality.
The light of digital in the fairyland illuminates the graphics card industry from ancient times to the present and into the future. Those who praise Brother Ba’s true name will see the light in the mining disaster! Wang Kun originally thought that this should be Brother Ba’s limit.
But he never expected that Brother Ba's hand could reach so far, and his amazing ability to make money across different industries shocked everyone, who exclaimed that Brother Ba was invincible.
“Ahem!”
Being teased by his good brother like this, even though Chen Ba was very thick-skinned, he still felt a little embarrassed.
He decided to defend himself.
"It's not that "Jayne's Adventure" is so popular, a lot of UP hosts and individual players came to us to ask for authorization..."
"I didn't expect things to turn out like this, but when someone offers money to me, how can I not accept it?"
Chen Ba was also helpless.
He has high expectations for the game "Divine Grace Continent", hoping that it can break through the one million sales mark, appear on the TGA stage, and become a well-known figure in the gaming industry.
The result...
One million sales were indeed achieved!
Moreover, it took only four months from the early access version to the official release to achieve sales of one million copies across all platforms, which can definitely be called a huge success.
However, although the result was satisfactory, the process was different from what he expected.
Who would have thought that a good 2D role-playing game could become a video playback software? "It's really outrageous!"
Wang Kun couldn't help laughing and said, "But having said that, The Adventures of Jayne is really good. I can't sleep well if I don't watch an episode of Jayne every day."
The Adventures of Jayne has 24 episodes! All 24 episodes are full of high energy and no boring moments. In the latest episode, Jayne, a poor farm boy, has been awarded the title of knight by the king for his meritorious service in sweeping away monsters.
He still couldn't forget Vivian.
Even though he became the viscount of the kingdom, a trusted human friend of the elves, and the savior of the dwarves, Jayne still could not forget his dead lover.
A young and beautiful noble girl is pursuing him. She is a gentle and kind girl. If he hadn't met Vivian, perhaps Jayne would be happy to marry her and spend his life with her...
The reason why "The Adventures of Jayne" became popular is not because of how well the video was made, but because the NPC "Jayne" was flesh and blood and portrayed very down to earth.
Following his perspective, the audience saw the most realistic customs and culture of another world as if they were there.
Not just Jayne! In the game "Shenn Land", every NPC, regardless of their status, longevity or short life, has a colorful life.
Wang Kun likes watching this very much.
In addition to him, many people also like the life experiences of NPCs such as OB, which is also the most mainstream gameplay of "Shennong Continent" at present.
Instead of pushing the main storyline and going through a clichéd "brave man fighting the devil" drama, it is better to focus on a certain NPC and see his growth experience.
This is so addictive!
What does it mean to have tens of thousands of NPCs? If one NPC is an anime about another world, then there are more than 10,000 toilet paper anime about another world, enough for you to watch until your next life.
Oh no…
Wang Kun seemed to have thought of something and suddenly asked, "Brother Ba, I forgot to ask you, can the NPCs in "Shen'en Continent" give birth to children?"
This is so crucial!
If you can't give birth, the game will be fixed on these 10,000+ NPCs. Although that sounds like a lot, it's not as many as you might imagine.
The reason is simple.
Among these more than 10,000 NPCs, some NPCs' experiences are not "dramatic", and some are short-lived, dying while the player is pouring a glass of water...
Excluding those NPCs who are not suitable for locking perspectives and cannot serve as male protagonists in other-worldly animations, there are only about six or seven thousand truly suitable NPCs.
Among these six or seven thousand NPCs, although each NPC has different experiences and stories, their experience stories can also be divided into exciting and ordinary.
That’s why Wang Kun wanted to know, if NPCs can have children when they marry each other?
If you can't have children, that's bad!
The copyright library of "Shennong Continent" is not rich enough. Maybe after a while, when all the NPCs with interesting story backgrounds have been used, this game... Oh no, no, no one will open the video player.
"I'm sure you can have a baby!"
Chen Ba glanced at him strangely and couldn't help but complain: "What makes you feel that these NPCs who can pick up girls, fight monsters and make money by themselves can't have children?"
Are you kidding me! The NPCs in Shen'en Continent are generally silent and can do anything except that they are not very talkative. Giving birth to a child and fighting the devil are just a piece of cake.
"There is a Divine Grace Calendar in the game, you should know about it, right?"
"Know!"
"According to the background of the game, the advent of the hero is in the year 1020 of the Divine Grace calendar, and the game also starts from this point in time..."
Chen Ba explained: "As long as you don't pause or exit the game, the time in the game will slowly pass and enter the 1021st or 1022nd year of the Divine Grace Calendar."
As game time passes, NPCs will gradually age and eventually die.
In this process, old NPCs disappear and new NPCs appear. Because NPCs are automatically generated by the program, if one group dies, another group will be generated. What's the big deal? "Not only can NPCs have children with NPCs, but heroes and NPCs can also have children, but..."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"But what?"
Wang Kun was very curious. Why did Brother Ba stop talking halfway? What was wrong with a hero having a baby with an NPC? "You know, heroes have a more sour taste. It's normal for them to have an elf or dwarf wife."
Chen Ba said awkwardly: "Some heroes, a small group of heroes, you know, all of them marry ugly wives."
There are village elders, muscular men, old ladies, and even skeletons and slimes in the derivative DLC...
If a brave man marries these wives, can he have children? What will the children be like?
To be honest! As the game's main planner, Chen Ba simply couldn't imagine a scenario where a hero and a slime got together and gave birth to a child.
That's too abstract.
Therefore, in the game "Divine Grace Continent", the probability of a hero being "infertile" is extremely high, and having a child is actually a low-probability event.
"If the spouse is a normal-aged human NPC of the opposite sex, then the probability of having a child is about 10%!"
"In the first year of a player's marriage to an NPC, the probability is 10%, 9% in the second year, 8% in the third year... until ten years later, the probability drops to zero."
After shaking his head, Chen Ba immediately added, "If the spouse is an elf, dwarf or orc NPC of the opposite sex, the probability is only one-third of that of a human NPC."
"As for the others, like the undead, dragons, slimes, muscular men, and the old-fashioned novice village chief, my assessment is that they can give birth, but the probability is about the same as buying a lottery ticket!"
The probability of a brave man giving birth to a child is very low, which is actually a very reasonable thing.
After all, although the hero is a human being, he comes from another world, and the humans in another world and the humans in the Continent of Divine Grace may not be the same thing.
Even if the hero and the NPC fall in love and eventually have a child, it may not be a good thing.
"Why do you say that?"
The hero's infertility was already shocking, but I didn't expect there would be more explosive news. This made Wang Kun extremely curious, wondering why it was not a good thing for the hero to have children? Could it be that if the hero and the native NPC of the Shen'en Continent were to combine, they would give birth to a monster with an unknown old age and covered in red hair? "Life span issue!"
Chen Ba shook his head, first denying Wang Kun's guess, and then explained: "The hero and the NPC of the hero team are protected by an unknown force. They will not age or die naturally before the demon king is destroyed."
But other NPCs can’t!
If you join a team of heroes and keep delaying the progress and not fighting the demon king, then these NPC teammates and the hero himself are actually in a state of "immortality".
The children born by the brave are not on the list of the brave team, so they will age rapidly and eventually die.
This is actually normal.
After all, although time passes slowly in games, it is still too fast compared to the real world.
Maybe the hero was still playing a certain copy when he received the news of his son's death. This is very normal.
After all, the children of a brave man are no different from ordinary NPCs except that the brave man has the right to name them. They will also grow old and die.
Moreover, the children of the brave are born with a high degree of favorability towards the brave, but cannot be recruited into the brave team, so this is an unbreakable curse.
It is best not to have children! Giving birth is troublesome, and it is also uncomfortable when the child dies. Infertility is good, at least there is no such trouble of "the old send the young away".
"Reasonable!"
"If we don't do this, and the heroes give birth to children casually, given the promiscuous nature of those harem players, it won't be long before the Divine Grace Continent becomes the heroes' back garden." Wang Kun agreed deeply.
A brave man really can't live randomly.
Otherwise, if the hero is promiscuous and has countless affairs, wouldn't the illegitimate children be all over the Shen'en Continent in a few years?
There is no doubt about it! Given the horror of the Fourth Calamity, this kind of thing is bound to happen, even if the hero is corrupted and abandoned by the NPC.
Don't overestimate the moral integrity of the players! In order to prevent the hero from ruling the Shen'en Continent with the "Many Children, More Blessings System", it is very reasonable to give him a sterilization.
