Chapter 380 Entering the Information Age
Chapter 380 Entering the Information Age
Lucheng, Countermeasures Branch.
The third public beta had huge changes compared to previous ones, catching many people off guard. Like other places, players in the Lucheng branch also began to feel uneasy and their morale was hit.
"Oh! What should I do? It's ok for me to participate in the horror game. I can barely stand on my own feet. But now my parents have to participate too. Their brains have been frozen for a long time. They can't even use a smartphone. If I ask them to participate in the horror game now, isn't this sending them to their deaths?"
"And the frequency is so high, once every three days, who can stand this? If you want to kill us, just say it directly! Why beat around the bush like this?"
"I prepared a few horror props for my family. I hope they can be useful and help them survive in the dungeon."
"You gave them the props, but what about you? Are you still alive?"
"Haha, as for me, it depends on my fate. With the horror game being run like this, the difficulty is being piled up like crazy. I'm afraid there won't be many people on the entire Blue Planet left. How long can I live in peace?"
"I joined the Countermeasures Bureau to provide my family with a safer environment and to let them live in a special family area. Now that the horror game has come out, I feel like my previous actions were like those of a clown."
"I'm the same as you! It depends on whether the bureau can give us a way to deal with it."
"It's so dangerous! These are the rules of the horror game. Even though our bureau is powerful, we are only at the player level. How can we have the ability to interfere with the horror game?"
……
Amid the panic, Zhao Benkuan and other leaders of the bureau took the lead in discussing countermeasures with the think tank. After the discussion, they immediately called on all players in the bureau to hold a meeting to calm people's hearts.
Zhao Benkuan said sincerely: "Since it has already happened and has become an established fact, the only thing we can do now is to accept it."
"Please believe that the Countermeasures Bureau will do its utmost to ensure the safety of all members and their families. This is what we hope to do."
"For now, let's put aside whether we can do it or not. After all, the dungeon hasn't started yet, and no one knows what it will be like after the revision. However, we must do our best. Next, the Countermeasures Bureau will distribute a care package consisting of points and props to your relatives, as well as supporting learning materials. I hope it can help them with their situation in the horror dungeon..."
The think tank and leaders of the Countermeasures Bureau, including Zhao Benkuan, explained the countermeasures that they had discussed, which included many practical solutions, which made the players of the Countermeasures Bureau feel much more at ease.
The next thing to do is to wait for the horror game to start and see what the copy will be like after the third public beta begins.
……
……
Ping An Community.
Su Ming was paying attention to the changes in the latest public beta of the horror game. He also didn't expect that the changes would be so big.
"I didn't expect that the intermission growth world would be integrated with the horror copy."
"I can no longer use the long free time in the intermission growth world to cook food."
"The frequency of dungeons has increased, but it doesn't affect me much. Anyway, when I use the Future Jade Plate now, no matter how long it has been, it will only be a moment in reality."
"The lifting of restrictions on the circulation of intelligence and props may not have much effect on us, but it is a good change for ordinary players." He opened the group chat and search software and was able to see a large number of dungeon guides.
Previously, these would be blocked by horror games, and players who had not experienced the dungeon would not be able to understand the content. This would test their ability to adapt to changing circumstances. Now, they can accumulate experience faster by doing practical questions, and if they can get the original questions, they will make a lot of money.
These materials are shared by individuals, organized and released by the Countermeasures Bureau, and players are also teaching classes and providing one-on-one teaching.
With so many ways to obtain information, new players are dazzled and don't know where to start.
Many people are complaining.
"I'm a complete newbie, I want to ask, how many copies are there in this game?"
"I can't finish it! I can't finish it at all!"
"What I want to know more is, why are there several different versions of the same copy? Moreover, they are contradictory to each other. Which one should I believe?"
"Newcomers nowadays are so lucky. When I first came in, I couldn't find anything. I was completely in the dark and had to forge ahead with my head held high."
"Is there anyone like me who spent a lot of points and money to exchange for the plot fragments? I feel like an idiot."
"Well, those fragments of the plot are now worthless, if not worthless, they are worth nothing, right?"
"Yes! The price of the plot fragments has been very stable before, and it was considered hard currency. I didn't expect that a version update would directly cut it down."
"Unlike other game companies, horror games don't indulge anyone. This game doesn't beg you to play it. If you don't play it, you'll die."
"If you don't understand, just ask. Is there a team mode? I want to play the dungeon with my good friends. I can't trust people I don't know."
……
In addition, the evaluation of horror props has also been updated from the original five levels of inferior, ordinary, excellent, excellent, and perfect to a more intuitive one star to ten stars.
According to the statistics of the Countermeasures Bureau, the original defective and ordinary props correspond to one star or two stars in the new system, the excellent level is two to four stars, the excellent level is three to five stars, and the perfect level is five to ten stars.
In order to facilitate players to trade horror props, e-commerce platforms such as Taobao, JD.com, and Xianyu have also opened up special horror props sections. However, compared with traditional commodities, the pricing of horror props is not so fixed. Usually, each item has a different price, which is somewhat similar to the rules of the antique market.
The items with the largest rating span are the perfect-level items. As the highest-level items in the original evaluation system, the upper and lower limits differ greatly. It's like a test with relatively low difficulty. Both candidates get a perfect score of 100, but there is still a big gap between them.
Most of the existing perfect-grade props are rated at five stars and six stars, while the props in Su Ming's hands are rated at at least seven stars and can all be called top-quality.
[Owned items: 1. Future Jade Plate (cannot be evaluated, bound), 2. A tail (cannot be evaluated, bound), 3. Scythe (cannot be evaluated, bound), 4. God's Skull (cannot be evaluated, bound), 5. P-35-404 Browning Demon-Breaking Pistol (seven stars, bullets 0/7), 6. Ring of the Martyr (nine stars, 7 evil spirits), 7. Ordinary Stone Hat (six stars), 8. Octopus Kitchen God Magic Mirror (ten stars), 9. Black Flame Mad Dragon Power Motorcycle PLUS Version (six stars) 10. Water and Fire Twin Spirit Orbs (eight stars) 11. Antarctic Glory Dragon Slashing Sword (nine stars, glory value 66%) 12. Black Stick (nine stars) 13. Broken Monkey Face Mask (nine stars) 14. Exit Card Fragment (ten stars, 1/12) 15. Death Scarecrow (eight stars)]
