Game "The End of Dynasty" 2 Ancient people traveled through time and changed the ancient times...
Lin Xiao felt that he had discovered a secret.
She suspected that there was something wrong with the NPC Zhou Tianzi in the game.
I don’t know if it’s because it’s too intelligent or something else, but there’s something wrong with this NPC.
NPCs generally cannot escape the game background settings. In the game background, cooking has never appeared, so NPCs should not pay attention to cooking.
The stir-fried dishes at the player's banquet were not the stir-fried dishes set in the game. Later, Lin Xiao hosted banquets for other NPCs. Every time, she deliberately asked other NPCs how the dishes were. None of those NPCs mentioned the word "stir-fried dishes". Even if Lin Xiao brought it up on her own initiative, those NPCs would only say things like "very delicious".
There is definitely a big problem with the Zhou Emperor!
Is it the NPC awakening, or something else?
Lin Xiao felt an excitement she hadn't felt in a long time. The last time she was this excited was when the game was first launched. She walked into this very real world and felt a scenery completely different from StarCraft.
Unfortunately, she was a student and she couldn't spend the whole day in the game trying to figure out the abnormality of Emperor Zhou. Every time she went online, various daily routines and in-game activities would take up nearly two hours of her time. If it was dark in the game, she would have to wait until dawn to go to the NPC.
After much deliberation, Lin Xiao decided to hand over this important task to mature adults.
Because the lifespan of interstellar humans is affected by cosmic radiation, compared to their time on ancient planets, human lifespan has more than doubled, and the average age of death is approaching 300 years.
In addition, technology is developing too rapidly and the amount of knowledge humans have is too vast. It takes a long time to learn everything even with the assistance of intelligent systems. Therefore, the current adult age for humans is 25 and the graduation age is 30.
The mature adult that Lin Xiao mentioned is her sister Lin Yao, who is 31 years old this year and became a qualified worker last year.
Lin Yao had just joined the big company and was quite busy with work. She had heard a little about the game "Dynasty's End" and had played it with the client for a few days before, but later put it aside because she had no time.
The company recently made a big deal. Manager Lin Yao received a lot of bonuses and was kindly promised three days of vacation by his boss. Lin Yao originally wanted to lie in bed and play StarNet to recover his health during these three days, but he didn't expect to be caught by the little sister and used as a spy in the game for her.
Lin Yao ignored his little sister's advice to him about the special NPC. Before going online, he was thinking: It's the NPC called Zhou Tianzi, right?
After logging in, I was thinking: Wow! This game is so fun! I need to level up! Emperor of Zhou? Zhou what? Emperor of what? I need to level up!
Every citizen has his or her own personal number. The holographic game is bound to the personal number. The substitute player can log in to other people's accounts for one hour, but not more than one hour, so Lin Yao can only log in to the account he or she registered.
Then he got addicted to it. When Lin Xiao came home from school in the evening, Lin Yao was still immersed in the world of leveling up, running quests and killing monsters everywhere.
After Lin Xiao came online and saw her sister's happy look, she knew that all her words of advice to her sister during the day were in vain.
My sister is not reliable at all!
Lin Xiao gave up and turned to the player community to collect information to see if there were any posts about the NPC Zhou Tianzi. Perhaps she was not the only player who discovered the problem.
Most players who play this game focus on the game mechanics. This is a common problem among StarCraft players. No matter the plot, art, or scenery, they are all no match for killing, killing, killing!
The second most popular game, "Star Wars", follows this pattern. If you click on the game rankings, you will find that nine of the top ten games follow similar patterns, with only "Dynasty's End" being the only one that stands out.
Lin Xiao estimated that similar games would appear in a while and follow the trend, but for now, "Dynasty's End" is still the only one that stands out among large-scale holographic story games.
Because people don’t care about the plot and NPCs, a large number of posts in the community are discussing how to beat dungeons and how to level up. This period is the Chinese Valentine’s Day event, and there are also many activity strategy posts.
When Lin Xiao was doing activities before, she was very happy to see the activity guide posts. Now she is not happy when she sees the posts that have dominated the forum.
It is too difficult to rely on human eyes to find posts related to NPCs and plots among the massive amount of hardcore strategy posts. Fortunately, there is the help of Star Network. Lin Xiao set the conditions and let Star Network screen the entire community. Soon, several unpopular posts were screened out, and the number of replies was less than 100.
The number of views of the community is in the billions, but in this case it is only a hundred, which shows that there are very few people interested in this aspect.
One of the posts caught Lin Xiao’s attention.
A Rational Discussion of the Special Status of the Zhou Emperor
It turned out to be a personal post by Zhou Tianzi. Lin Xiao clicked on it without thinking. There were several screenshots of Zhou Tianzi on the main post. Looking at the arrogant face that could be felt through the screen, Lin Xiao's anxiety subsided a lot.
The game will be played for many years to come, and she has enough time to explore the various puzzles in the game. There is really no need to be too anxious.
Lin Xiao calmed down and continued to read the post.
The content of the post mainly carried over the character setting of Zhou Tianzi and her importance in the entire plot of the game. Lin Xiao had previously substituted the situation of StarCraft for it and could barely understand it. If the Star Alliance really fought each other, it did not mean that the leader of the Star Alliance would be useless. As long as there was someone sitting in the position of the leader of the Star Alliance, no one could ignore her.
The post discussed the attitudes of NPCs from various parties and found that NPCs from other forces were very wary of Emperor Zhou, but also looked down on him, and their feelings were very complicated.
No one has ever mentioned that the Zhou emperor loved to eat stir-fried dishes.
Perhaps no one realizes that in the normal game world, cooking does not appear at all. After all, not everyone will go to each NPC's home to see what the NPC's kitchen looks like.
Lin Xiao: Is it because I’m too hardworking?
Unable to find any clues, Lin Xiao gave up. It was not until the next version update that she took up the question again.
After the version update, the storyline of the game world will develop. The biggest change after this version update is the addition of a soldier profession after the player joins the army.
Previously, players had very few professions to choose from, because most of the professions in the profession encyclopedia had prerequisites. For example, the official line required the player to be of noble origin, the merchant line required the player to have commoner status, the ranger line required the player to have commoner status, and the bandit line required the player to have a mob background.
Most professions will be banned due to the player's initial identity settings, and it is difficult to unlock them unless you spend money.
This is also a point that players of "Dynasty's End" criticize the planners for. They are really crazy about making money and are obsessed with money. Which good game requires players to spend money even to change professions?
The newly released soldier profession is very special. There is no restriction on the player's background. Players from any background can join the army.
However, this unrestricted area is only limited to Jingchang. The rest of the game areas remain the same as before. If you want to join the army, you must be a commoner and you must also obtain local citizenship.
Jingchang's unusual features attracted the attention of a large number of players. When Lin Xiao opened the community again, the screen was finally no longer full of strategy posts. Among the five strategy posts, there was one discussion post about Jingchang.
Since we are talking about Jingchang, we naturally cannot avoid talking about that special Zhou emperor.
Some action-oriented players have learned from NPCs that the reason why the restrictions on the soldier profession will be completely lifted for players this time is because of the military reform of the Zhou emperor, that is, the emergence of the military merit-conferring system.
This shocked a group of players. During the interstellar era, a lot of the history of the ancient planet had been lost, but most of the history still existed. Some important nodes would still exist even after thousands of years, such as the reforms made by the country where the First Emperor lived.
If I remember correctly, the system of conferring titles based on military merit was a system that emerged during the Qin Dynasty. It has nothing to do with the Zhou emperor, right?
Even if she was called the Emperor of Zhou, she should not have adopted the policies of the Warring States Period. There should have been a Qin State, and then a strong man appeared, and then reforms should have been carried out.
When everyone was discussing what was going on and whether it was possible that Emperor Zhou had merged with the Qin Shi Huang line, Lin Xiao sent a message to Lou, mentioning that she had heard Emperor Zhou say that he wanted to eat stir-fried dishes.
The player community was in an uproar. Lin Xiao had been searching for the truth for many days, even dragging her own sister into the pit, but she still couldn't find it. In front of the powerful player community, she couldn't even hold on for three days and it was exposed.
The King of Zhou traveled through time!
It’s not a time travel from the interstellar era, but a time travel from the 21st century!
An ancient man from a thousand years ago traveled to the world three thousand years ago, and then became the emperor, a character destined to be cannon fodder.
It’s so exciting!
So "The Last Dynasty" is not based on real history, but has its own plot line, and just uses scenes and some settings from real history.
The players were immediately excited. The colorful history is certainly very inspiring, but the plot of an ancient man traveling through ancient times to change history is even more exciting!
The historical background of "The Last Dynasty" is originally different from that in history books. Everyone tacitly assumes that this is an imaginary world based on ancient times, but unexpectedly, there are more exciting easter eggs contained in it.
Some players asked, if they told the time-traveling Emperor Zhou that they were players and could help him build Jingchang, how would the Emperor Zhou react?
If someone asks, someone will do it.
Lin Xiao was eagerly waiting for players' feedback, and then he saw a world notification.
[System: Player "The Strongest Interstellar Human" is suspected of disrupting the plot and is being issued a warning. Please note that the game contract states that the game plot is the underlying background setting of the game and cannot be changed or disrupted. After three warnings, the account will be permanently banned! The company reserves the right to claim compensation.]
I can’t afford to play this rubbish game!
All the planners of game companies know that the player group is a group of terrifying monsters. If they are not restrained, the first holographic game in the entire interstellar world will be ruined by the player group. If it is really ruined, even the system will go crazy.
Therefore, the fourth disaster must be prevented!
After all, there are only a few players who are really interested in the plot. Most players just want to play the game and don’t want to make trouble. The bankruptcy of the game company will not be good for everyone.
So the matter just passed, and Zhou Tianzi attracted a wave of fans of the plot. Later, when the plot was updated, two out of five posts in the community were plot discussion posts.
