Chapter 417 Core Gameplay, Causality

Chapter 417 Core Gameplay, Causality
Xiao Jie's promise to help if there were any problems was not just an impulse.

After all, the existence of the Pantheon is also a threat to him, but Long Xiang is his most powerful supporter at present. If he encounters trouble, Xiao Jie believes that he will definitely ask Long Xiang for help. In this case, if Long Xiang and the Pantheon fight, it is necessary for him to lend a helping hand.

However, he did not say everything and left some room for maneuver. After all, he had his own things to do.

When he returned to the hotel, everyone else was already waiting for him in the lounge.

"What do you think, Brother Feng? Why do the president and the others want to see you? Do they want you to hand over your power?" Bai Ze stood up and asked as he entered the lounge.

Xiao Jie glanced at them with a look of excitement, and saw that several people had inquiring expressions on their faces. Xiao Jie was not surprised, as they were all from the same guild. The people from the First Group would definitely tell the group about the loss of the city in Qiansong Town, and the people from the Second Group must have known about it by now.

We are not stupid and we can generally deduce how things will develop.

Xiao Jie nodded, "Yes, and I have already promised the president to hand over Luoyang Town to the management of the first group. I will not be responsible for the development in the future."

"Damn it, these guys are destroying the bridge after crossing it." Deidara suddenly got angry.

"That's right, Brother Feng, why should you give away the territory we fought so hard to conquer to them? It wasn't us who lost the city." Drunken Swordsman said indignantly.

Xiao Jie was a little helpless. He was quite open-minded and did not expect that his teammates would be so excited.

"You can't say that. After all, Long Xing Tianxia is the president. Long Xiang's plate was built by others. We are just borrowing chickens to lay eggs."

Haomie was more practical, "Brother Suifeng, the president wouldn't just want to take back the power without any words, right?"

Xiao Jie shook his head, "Haha, of course not. We have already discussed that everyone's advancement and job change will be fully supported by the guild. In addition, everyone's points will still be retained, and you can exchange them at any time if you want. Of course, you can also continue to hang out with the big group.

It is still the main treatment.”

Xia Yi Wushuang shook his head, "Come on, there aren't many good fighters among those losers. They are basically cheerleaders during activities. When they fight in a group, they still have to rely on us to fight. It's better for us to play on our own."

He, as always, hated the guild mode.

An Ran also said: "That's right, with our lineup, we don't need those rubbish to get in the way when we go to kill the BOSS."

Xiao Jie thought that that wasn't the case, ordinary players could at least help with the output.

For example, his ultimate tactic: if there are not enough players to help with output, it is basically impossible to kill the BOSS instantly.

But it is true that most of the players in the second group are just slackers, and there are not many who are really willing to work hard.

Of course there are masters, such as Strawberry Coke and those generals...

If you have more people, you can fight some particularly high-level BOSSes. By stacking output, you can grind the BOSS to death. The things it drops are not comparable to those of ordinary small BOSSes.

In general, there are advantages and disadvantages.

But no matter what, Xiao Jie is not going to lead this group anymore. There are too many trivial things, and he always has to consider the guild's plans, which is too restrictive.

He is still thinking about completing his game goals.

Although conquering cities and expanding territory is fun and can earn huge profits, Xiao Jie doesn't play games to make money.

Therefore, he is happy to see the transfer of power this time. As long as the benefits are compensated, he will just hand it over.

He comforted the crowd with a few words.

Xiao Jie got straight to the point and said, "Let's get together for another day tonight to discuss the next route to explore. Tomorrow we will go our separate ways. Everyone, take care of yourselves when you go back. Then I will lead everyone to explore the real 'core gameplay' of this game."

As soon as the 'core gameplay' was mentioned, everyone was no longer sleepy. Expanding territory and fighting for power and profit were not as realistic as becoming an immortal or a god.

"Xiao Jie, do you already have a plan?"

"That's right. Let me tell you in detail..."

Xiao Jie lowered his voice and everyone came over. Listening to Xiao Jie's plan, everyone showed excitement in their eyes.

--------

The next day, as the players' conference came to a successful conclusion, most of the players left one after another.

Xiao Jie said goodbye to everyone one by one, met with Long Xingtianxia and others for the last time, and then prepared to leave.

He and An Ran are both from Jiangbei City, and they thought they could travel together, but unexpectedly An Ran rejected his invitation.

"I'm going to fly back."

"Ah!" Xiao Jie was surprised, "You have mastered the transformation of the Snow Owl?"

In reality, using magic to transform oneself carries the risk of getting lost.

"I've already mastered it. Snow Owls are completely different from those spider spirits. I can handle their minds completely. Besides, do you think I can resist trying to fly?"

That’s right... If Xiao Jie had this ability to fly, he would definitely want to try it.

After saying goodbye to An Ran, Xiao Jie took Gu Feiyu and boarded the train back to Jiangbei City.

It can be seen that Gu Feiyu is quite curious about this game, especially after witnessing a big battle with his own eyes, he asked questions one after another.

Xiao Jie did not hide anything. On the way, he told Gu Feiyu about his previous gaming experiences and told him a lot of common sense about the game.

While listening, Gu Feiyu took out a small notebook and wrote down everything.

The next morning, the two returned to their home in Jiangbei City.

"Ah, Brother Jie, you are playing games at home now, why aren't you in the studio?"

"I've already given up the lease. The business of the post-production studio is too bad. I can't afford such a large venue."

Gu Feiyu sighed with some regret. He really missed the days when he worked in the studio. He played all day long, had plenty of instant noodles and Coke, and was surrounded by brothers who he could talk to. He fought with others in the game every day. It was simply the life he had always dreamed of.

It's so much better than going to school or work.

Xiao Jie patted his shoulder and opened the door with the key.

This was not Gu Feiyu's first time here, so he was quite familiar with the place.

"You can use this computer. It's the one your brother Han used before." Xiao Jie pointed to the computer on the right.

"Your room is on the right, your brother Han's old room. There are food and drinks in the refrigerator. You're welcome. It's just like the old days."

Gu Feiyu settled down quickly and couldn't wait to start the game.

Sitting in front of the computer, Gu Feiyu was already a little impatient and looked at Xiao Jie eagerly.

Xiao Jie was not in a hurry.

He took out the card and waved it in front of Gu Feiyu. "Although you have already decided, I still want to warn you one last time. Once you die in the game, you will die in reality as well. So are you sure you are ready?"

Gu Feiyu also showed a rare serious expression, "I am very sure, Brother Jie. To be honest, I have died once, and I have long been indifferent to life and death. Since there is such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, I must give it a try, and I am very confident in my gaming skills."

"Okay, let's get started."

Xiao Jie didn't waste any more words and handed him the card. Gu Feiyu directly turned on the computer and logged into the website.

"You need to register an account before entering the game. Just enter this activation code." The account registration is completed quickly, and the games are ready, so you can enter directly.

Xiao Jie looked at Gu Feiyu's screen and was somewhat surprised to find that Gu Feiyu was not born in Ginkgo Village, but in a place called Longjing Village. The large map showed it in Longhua Prefecture.

It seems that the player's birth place should be random.

Looking at the vivid and slightly gloomy scenery on the screen, and the shirtless man standing in the center of the screen who looked quite like himself, Gu Feiyu was very excited. He took a deep breath and began to familiarize himself with the operation.

"Brother Jie, is there any official information for this game?"

“No, the information is all collected by the players themselves. I will invite you to the guild group, and you can just go to the group database to check it out.

By the way, don’t rush to leave the village. I will send you some equipment and game coins and arrange your career path. I will pick you up and help you level up later.”

Xiao Jie didn't have the conditions at the beginning and could only go with the flow. Now that his brother wants to practice his trumpet, of course he has to arrange all kinds of resources.

Of course, professional props, upgrade routes, and martial arts techniques must all be top-notch.

Unexpectedly, Gu Feiyu shook his head and said, "No need, Brother Jie. I think forget about the equipment and gold coins. As for the career path, I think it's better for me to explore it slowly by myself."

Xiao Jie was stunned and speechless. A normal person would be happy if a big boss provided resources to him. But he didn't have the conditions at the beginning and could only study it slowly on his own. Now that you have the conditions, what are you still studying?

But he knew that Gu Feiyu was a man of ideas, so he was definitely not being impulsive. "Oh, why do you want to do your own research? Don't you trust my information?"

Gu Feiyu shook his head. "No, Brother Jie, it is precisely because of the magic of this game that I don't want your help, because I think I have discovered a hidden mechanism in this game."

"Oh, tell me."

"According to your previous description, there are many hidden adventures in this game that can be triggered, but these adventures are one-time and highly random, is that right?"

Xiao Jie nodded, "That's right."

"That's the reason. Brother Jie, there are many reasons why you have achieved what you have today. One of the important factors is that in the early stage, you relied on step-by-step exploration and accumulation, encountered several adventures, and gained advantages that ordinary players do not have.

That’s why it gradually took off and eventually became the top of the game.

The reason why you can trigger an adventure seems accidental, but in fact it is causally related.

For example, when you get incense at the beginning, it’s because you know nothing about the game and can only get a little bit of information by getting close to the village chief, and you end up getting incense unexpectedly.

For example, if you don’t have money to buy equipment in the early stage, you can only chop wood and herd sheep, and you will learn the sword skills, trigger an adventure, and obtain the beast language. Learning the beast language will provide you with a huge advantage in the later stage...

Imagine if you had money, resources and information at the beginning, then you would have no such needs at all.

You can just get a set of equipment, learn some martial arts, and then go out of the village to fight monsters and level up, but if you do that, you will miss out on a lot of things, and your development path will be completely different, and you may not even be able to achieve the current level of success.

So if you want to really get into the core content of this game, you must have enough demand for it.”

Xiao Jie was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Gu Feiyu could think of so much based on the few words he said along the way.

He said thoughtfully, "So you think the worse you are in the early stages, the easier it is to trigger an adventure?"

Gu Feiyu nodded, then shook his head: "It's not that simple, the character's needs only provide players with a direction to work towards.

As players work hard, they may encounter the possibility of triggering an adventure. However, to truly trigger and complete an adventure, it still depends on the player's own observation ability, adaptability, and character.

Just like the protagonists in ancient legends, in those stories the protagonists always face a huge difficulty, a desperate situation, or a fatal crisis.

Then the protagonist triggers an adventure in order to save himself.

If you are chased by monsters in the deserted mountains, you will definitely encounter a Taoist priest who performs exorcism.

Only when your parents are seriously ill will you meet a miraculous doctor.

Only if you fail in the exam, you have a chance to meet extraordinary people.

Only when you are almost dying of thirst in the desert will you pick up a bottle containing the genie.

The final outcome of the story will of course depend on the protagonist's own judgment and actions, but if there is no crisis and situation at the beginning, then the subsequent story will definitely not happen.

For example, if you have a lot of money and good equipment, even if you try hard to get close to the village chief, he may not burn incense for you because he thinks you don’t need it at all.”

"So what you mean is that because I am too powerful, I don't encounter crises or difficulties, so it is difficult for me to trigger adventures?"

Gu Feiyu said decisively: "That's right, because you no longer have the opportunity to trigger an adventure. Only extremely hungry people will go to great lengths to find food and discover ingredients and delicacies that have never been discovered in the past in unexpected places. Many delicacies were invented in this way.

But if a person has no worries about food and clothing, he naturally does not need to work hard. "

“So I think that in the early stage, you can’t have any support from equipment or money. The more external help you have, the harder it will be to trigger the opportunity. You can only follow the popular development route step by step. The Longxiang Guild has so many resources, but I haven’t seen them train many masters.

On the contrary, the harder it is in the early stages, the more you need to dig into the details of the game to improve yourself, and the easier it is to trigger adventures. Brother Jie, you are the best example. "

Xiao Jie nodded thoughtfully, "Okay, then do what you want, but don't try to be brave. If you encounter danger, just find me. Also, you must think carefully before adding points. If you want to choose a magic profession, you need advanced attributes, you can find them in the group database, don't click randomly."

"Hahahaha, Brother Jie, are you still unsure about me? Just wait and see."

Gu Feiyu took out a notebook and placed it next to the keyboard. He pressed his fingers hard and then controlled the character to wander around the village.

Xiao Jie watched Gu Feiyu wandering around the village, looking here and there, greeting and chatting with NPCs, and even joking with the aunt who was feeding chickens.

His ability to adapt to the game was as strong as ever, and he quickly got the hang of communicating with NPCs through voice.

Let Gu Feiyu explore it slowly on his own... I hope he can give me some surprises as always.

Xiao Jie no longer paid attention to it. It was time to take care of his own things.

He turned on his computer, logged into the game, and walked out of the inn. He noticed at a glance that Luoyang City was much more lively than usual - the people in Long Xiang's group had obviously withdrawn, and their speed was quite fast.

When I arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, I saw Hongfu Qitian and Longteng Sihai were there, discussing the development direction of Luoyang City with the City Lord.

His management authority was taken back yesterday, but his position as vice president remains.

"Ah, Brother Suifeng, you're online. The president has gone to Xiaofeng City to have a meeting with the governor. I'll take over here first. Oh, by the way, the president sent you something. Remember to pick it up at the post station."

Xiao Jie thought, so fast? I don't know what it is.

He said hello and left, heading straight for the post station.

I chose to pick up the mail, and sure enough, there was a package inside.

First are the three monster inner elixirs.

One tiger demon's inner elixir, one wild boar demon's inner elixir, and one roe deer demon's inner elixir.

It should be that they were obtained by a group while doing tasks around Qiansong Town. The quality is very average.

There is no rush to use it. Just keep it as a reserve of spiritual energy. I don't think I can develop any good skills with it, and I don't think there will be much spiritual energy left.

Next is a skill book.

This is it! Xiao Jie was surprised and delighted when he saw the book.

"The Eagle Transforms"!
