Chapter 948 The righteous and evil sects
Translator 549690339
âQian Kun raised his hand and asked,ââso, manager, is the entire game going to be similar to Wulin legend?ââ â
âChen Zhao nodded,ââyes, but itâs much faster. The game was roughly divided into three stages, the first stage was the novice stage, completing the missions of the various sects and fighting in the wild to improve their own strength; In the second stage, the resources of the sects would be integrated. The Orthodox sects would compete for the leader of the martial arts world, while the evil sects would compete for the Overlord of the martial arts world, in preparation for the final battle. In the third stage, the righteous and evil sides will have a decisive battle, and the leader of the martial arts world or the Overlord of the martial arts world will be decided. ââ â
âQian Kun frowned,âbut I still feel that the righteous sect is stronger. The righteous factionâs Alliance master could lead nine sects, while the evil faction only had three. This gap was simply too great, and it was very difficult to use NPCs to balance it out. After all, by the time the players get their hands on all sorts of high-level martial arts, most of the NPC soldiers will just be sending themselves to their deaths. ââ â
âChen Zhao nodded.ââThatâs right. But youâve forgotten one thing. The righteous and evil have different ways of doing things.ââ ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âââSpecifically, the righteous sect canât be exterminated, but the evil sect can. In the early stages of the game, all righteous sects had their own problems and could only defend. Even if the problem was solved, the righteous sect could not attack other righteous sects. Even if the players wanted to attack, the leaders and NPCs of the righteous sects would not agree. If the player insists on doing things his way, he might even be expelled from the sect. ââ â
âââBut the evil faction is different. At the beginning of the game, the evil faction is at full health and can attack the righteous faction. Once they are successfully annihilated, they can plunder a large number of martial arts and resources, and their forces will expand rapidly.ââ â
âââIn other words, in the early and middle stages of the game, the righteous and evil factions are in a tug-of-war. The righteous faction had to think of ways to defend against the evil factionâs attacks and recover their strength, while the evil faction had to think of ways to reap more benefits while the righteous factionâs strength was greatly damaged. The schemes and intrigues between the two sides in the early and mid stages will directly affect the power balance between the two sides during the final battle. ââ â
âââUm, manager, I have a question,ââ su Jinyu said. Since this is a zero-sum game, What should I do if Iâm a decent player and thereâs a player whoâs much better than me?ââ â
âYou have three choices First, find a fortuitous encounter, fight in the wilderness, and improve your strength to surpass him. Second, poison him or even collude with the demonic sect to kill him. Of course, doing so was equivalent to betraying him, and there was the risk of being expelled from the sect. Third, follow him obediently and let him be the leader of the martial arts world. ââ â
âSu Jinyu,ââhuh? Whatâs the point of following him?ââ â
âChen Mo smiled and explained,ââthis game is a zero-sum game, but that doesnât mean you have to be first in every round.ââ It was like eating chicken. Under normal circumstances, one could only eat chicken once every two or three days. Itâs already good enough to get the title of the chief of the martial arts world once every two or three days in this game. ââ â
âââWhat if we canât obtain the alliance leader? Was there no difference between the second and last place? Of course not. We will determine the ranking of the players based on the order of their death and give them rewards. When you canât deal with a decent player, you can follow him first, hang in there, and then think of a way to trick him later. ââ â
âSu Jinyu thought for a moment.ââThen, would there be 24 players? six evil players would die as soon as they came up, and the remaining 17 righteous players would all follow a Big Boss and shout â 666â?ââ â
âChen Mo smiled,ââtheoretically, thatâs possible, but the probability is very low. ââFirst of all, we will have a balance mechanism between the forces. If all the evil faction players die, then the righteous faction players will rebel and directly obtain the appreciation of the evil faction and some high-level martial arts. Secondly, players were all pugnacious. How could they just sit back and watch you become the leader of the martial arts world? Whether it was in the open or in the dark, there would definitely be players who would join forces to get rid of you;ââIn addition, if a number of decent players survive in the end, the rest of the players will be ranked according to their overall score (including their combat power, tools, etc.). If you shout 666 like a salted fish throughout the game, then the ranking reward you receive in the end is basically not much different from turning into a crate when you land.ââ â
âââTherefore, the rules of this game are relatively fixed, but it is impossible to predict how it will develop, because every player has their own ideas. If you trust others too much, you may be sold and earn money for others. Of course, as the designer, we are happy to see the situation where the players set traps for each other. ââ â
âââThen ... Whatâs the profit model for this game?ââ asked Qian Kun. â
âââSame as PlayerUnknownâs Battlegrounds,ââ Chen Mo said,ââyouâll be charged for buying the game. The money you earn in the game can be used to buy a special appearance. You can use cash to trade and weâll take a transaction tax.ââ Of course, in order to prevent the players from being exposed to the special appearance, all NPCs and players will be randomly given a special appearance after entering the game, just like how the robots are given skins in League of Legends. ââ â
âââUnderstood.ââ Qian Kun nodded.ââI have one last question. The mechanics of world of martial arts are much more complicated than PlayerUnknownâs Battleground. How do we solve the difficulty for players to get started? Also, isnât this game not very friendly to disabled players?ââ â
âChen Mo explained,ââitâs simple, matching mechanism.ââ Just like in PlayerUnknownâs Battleground, each round was graded based on the playerâs performance, and the players with similar points were grouped together. In addition, in order to take care of the players with bad skills, the game will come with a combat assistance system. ââ â
âââTo put it simply, if two players have the same starting attributes, whoever has the best technique will win. This is like how everyone in PlayerUnknownâs Battleground is a contest of marksmanship. If your technique isnât good, then youâll have to practice.ââOther than that, if you obtain a special martial art, it will make up for your lack of control to a certain extent.ââ â
âââFor example, if you obtain a top-tier internal strength skill like muscle-bone strengthening Scripture and practice it, your health bar will be much higher than others. It will be very difficult for ordinary fist and palm techniques to cause you any harm. Or if you obtained a top-tier body movement technique like ââcarefree travelââ, then you would have a very high Dodge attribute. The system would automatically help you Dodge, so it would not be easy for others to hit you. If you get the âTai Chi Sword techniqueâ, even if your slash is off course, the system will automatically help you correct it. Itâs similar to micro-self-aiming. ââ â
âQian Kun was shocked,ââdoesnât that mean that if A player obtains a bunch of ultimate skills, he can just use an a-skill to pass?ââ â
âChen Zhao shook his head. The Wuxia World was a world with low magic. Even if you had peerless martial arts, you might not be able to defend against poison or defeat the siege of the top ten Masters. Even if a master who was weaker than you attacked you, he might still be able to kill you. Just like in Dark Souls, it hurt to slash others, but it also hurt to be slashed by others. You must know that while youâre busy looking for a side adventure, others arenât idle either. Itâs difficult for players to have A big gap between them, so itâs almost impossible to directly attack. ââ â
âââTaking ten thousand steps back, if youâre really that amazing and got all the top martial arts, then you should really hang the others up and beat them up. Itâs like a master bullying a noob in League of Legends and PlayerUnknownâs Battleground. ââ â
