028 Exchange
After Hua Qiluo left the game, Xiao Gongju wandered around in the public space and seemed boring. It just so happened that Xiao Gongju had gained a good survival value in the previous script, and the exchange was already open. Xiao Gongju was just going to go shopping and maybe he could find two handy equipment.
The exchange is much smaller than the public space, just like shopping websites in front of a huge screen. The things in the exchange can be roughly divided into these types. One is the system mall. Of course, this thing can be opened anywhere, even in the player's private space. The items sold are all big goods, consumables, whiteboard equipment, fashion and materials.
The second type is the things that players auction. When they see this part of the things, Xiao Gongju has to praise these guys who take out equipment and skills to auction, "Brave Merchants!" and they dare to call out thousands of survival values with dilapidated quality equipment. As for the exquisite equipment, there are very few, with the starting price basically around 5,000, and the high ones are tens of thousands. This is the heart of the people. Even if they can't use things, people are unwilling to sell them at a low price. The market is in the most primitive state. The final price of the equipment and skills is in the supply and demand state. No one knows how much the things they take out are worth. So even if the price is inflated, you may meet a fool?
The third type is puzzle. No wonder Xiao Gongju didn't see anything related to puzzles in the player auction center. It turned out that this thing was collected by the system as a special prop. It could not be traded for survival values, but could only be exchanged. In other words, players took out their own puzzles and put them in the auction house. Players in need would exchange them with their useless puzzles. As for what the auction players could exchange for, they could only leave it to fate. The only principle of trading is to exchange for puzzles, high-level puzzles for advanced puzzles, and perfect puzzles for perfect puzzles. Before we figured out this way of playing, there were very few players who dared to take out puzzles for auction, and the ones they took out were all very unpopular and difficult to make up a whole set, such as [Judiom: River] and [Judiom: Push Cart], high-level and perfect puzzles can't be seen at all.
The fourth type is strange, which is related to the game. Some simple explanation materials are relatively cheap, such as equipment grading instructions, such as only ten survival values, which is a supplement to the system without an official website. However, Xiao Gongju is not ready to exchange this basic information, because with the establishment of the internal order of the game and the formation of a small social system, there will naturally be some large-scale social organizations that will publish these things on the Internet, and then these money-spending things can also become free products at your fingertips. But other strange things are that Xiao Gongju cannot exchange them even if he wants to exchange them. For example, this data called [Hell Demon Classification Exploration] is priced as a chaotic crystal. When Xiao Gongju attempts to exchange it, the system will prompt:
【Your balance is insufficient.】
"Is this his cat a currency similar to survival value or a prop similar to consumables? It's inconsumable." But Xiao Gongju can still confirm it very clearly. The value of this type of information is definitely far beyond those that can be exchanged with survival value. "I'm afraid these things will be of great help to the strategy script..."
After checking many similar information, such as [First Explanation of the Foundation Stone Ability] and [Summary of the Development Direction of Newcomers], Xiao Gongju summarized three props that can be exchanged for similar strategy information: Chaos Crystal, Order Gem and Balanced Mercury. After searching all the information that can be exchanged with survival values, Xiao Gongju found that there seemed to be no information that could be explained by these three props. After finally giving up wandering around the exchange and preparing to return to the private space. Since the system did not explain it, it indicates that this kind of thing is not something that players need to know at this stage. However, its importance is unquestionable. Xiao Gongju only remembers it in his heart, hoping to find something in future scripts.
Since this chapter has a relatively small number of words, now interspersed with a paragraph of [Equipment Grading Instructions] this document worth ten survival values:
Equipment can be divided into: ruined, ordinary, excellent, perfect, legend, magical artifact
Downfall: old, flawed, but better than nothing.
Normal: Everything is normal for this equipment, and using it reasonably will help you.
Excellent: A reliable and good equipment, like a trustworthy partner. (Exquisite quality equipment can theoretically have at least one attribute or one special effect)
Perfect: Flawless top equipment, rare and powerful. (Perfect quality equipment must have special effects or attributes)
Legend: The coveted equipment is enough to improve the user's strength level.
Artifact: A unique existence often has the power to destroy the world.
"It's better to be single-order..." Xiao Gongju, who returned to the space, guessed that it was almost dawn. The multiplayer script took several hours, and chatted with Hua Qiluo and wandered around the exchange meaninglessly. Of course, this time was calculated by Xiao Gongju based on the time flow rate of the previous script. Although it may not be accurate to what time, the gap will not be too big. "Although I was playing with my eyes closed, I was still a little tired mentally. Is it because I was exposed to too much information?"
Just like if a person keeps dreaming while sleeping, his mind will be drowsy and extremely tired when he wakes up the next day. Not to mention the "dream" that completely preserves memories, the system will check before the player scheduling the book. If the player's "fatigue value" is too high, the system will not allow the player to continue playing.
"It's better to arrange a single-player plot, the speed is also fast... there is no need to worry about a few pig teammates..." Thinking of this, Xiao Gongju stretched his finger towards [Single-player Survival Mode].
The multiplayer survival mode will evaluate the players in line and generate scripts based on the strength of the players in the team. In order to take care of the level of different players, the world view of the multiplayer mode will be relatively large, and you have enough main tasks to ensure that each player actively participates in the game. Some side tasks will generally be provided to help improve the gains of players with "learning to spare" skills. In order to balance the benefits between players, some props will also be placed in some strange places. This is a compensation for hard-working players who have poor puzzle solving ability and are not very powerful. This also causes the corresponding extension of the game time in multiplayer mode, and of course smart players will also have high returns.
As for the first multiplayer script that Xiao Gongju experienced, the difficulty can be said to be quite low, and it is compatible with exploration, and has multiple elements of puzzle solving. The first multiplayer script is more like a novice task in multiplayer mode, allowing players to familiarize themselves with the gameplay of multiplayer mode. It explicitly or implies how players explore the plot, find branches and other things that the system hopes that players can do. There are many things that this mode can do, and it is also the most important mode of this game. In addition to the slightly higher combat effectiveness of the BOSS in the script at the end, Xiao Gongju's first multiplayer script was slightly more powerful, of course, because Xiao Gongju ranks players like Chi Jun and Hua Qiluo, and has not dig deep into the main line and other reasons. It can be said to be a standard low-intensity multiplayer mode template plot.
Before Xiao Gongju entered the next script, there was another place worth paying attention to in City S. City X was originally a small town, but with the continuous investment of federal infrastructure, it has gradually become a satellite city in City S. In addition to what should be, the most famous place is Qingshan Mental Hospital, which is comparable to the national forest. It is the world's leading medical institution. Of course, according to the federal nature, this is just a research institute and scientific research institution covered with the outer skin of the mental hospital. Moreover, mental illness is not enough to maintain the operation of such a large-scale institution.
Somewhere deep on the fourth floor of the underground, the underground buildings of Qingshan Mental Hospital are all scientific research institutions, and are built completely according to the standards of resisting nuclear strikes. Around a coffin-shaped petri dish in the laboratory, a group of white coats are busy. Unlike doctors, the group of white coats are printed behind them... and they are all single words, with eyesight [Tao], [Devil], [Technique], etc. A naked adult male lying in the culture medium with bubbles, with various catheters inserted all over his body. Judging from his appearance, he is nine points similar to the Chi Jun that Xiao Gongju had just met in the script.
"No heavy metal reaction..."
"The electromagnetic band is normal..."
“No external signal intrusion…”
"No abnormal pulses, high-energy reaction..."
"All body indicators are completely normal..."
Several white coats were fiddling with high-tech products in the room, constantly reporting the monitoring results to the miserable green screen. The white-bearded old man on the upper head seemed to be a superior and listened to the monitoring results of the white coats, but as his brows gradually bulged, he was obviously not very satisfied with such a result. It was not until a young man with the word "medical" on his back ran to him and whispered a few words, the other party's brows gradually stretched out...
"So that's it, I'm hypnotized, right?" The old man with a white beard chased his beard and asked, holding a plastic piece similar to a brain-supplementing CT in his hand.
"Yes." [Medical] The young man stood with his hands down and did not dare to look at the old man. "Based on the shadow of the brain, we suspect that Captain Li was blocked with some physiological cognition. After joining several psychologists to test Captain Li, we can be sure that he was hypnotized. Subconsciously, he has recognized the existence of the multiverse arena... He has cognitive impairment in the doubts that normal people may have and the rationality of events. It should be that he passively avoided such problems in the process of thinking."
"Interesting, I really think 'they' are omniscient and omnipotent..." The old man with a look of old gratitude was in a good mood. "No matter how cunning the hunter is, he still shows his feet? Even as foxes, we are the strongest one."
"Continue to monitor Captain Li for twenty-four hours, and report immediately if there is any abnormality." The white beard waved his hand, and the white coats immediately became busy again. "In addition, report to the superior immediately, draw elites to form a reserve team... I believe that 'they' will not stop..."
The supernatural power has never disappeared in this world... It's just that the forms of expression are different. The definition of a psychic is not as simple and crude as imagined. Just like you may think that the Calabash is a psychic, which can become bigger, fire-breathing, invisible, etc.... But the eyesight is extraordinary, the hearing is strong... Are humans with different brain structures even considered psychics? Energy radiation is a psychic, but it never represents psychics. The world is far more complicated than we imagined.
Now we're back to the multiverse arena:
As time was waiting for the queue passed... Xiao Gongju's eyes immediately turned dark, and he entered [single survival mode]
【Single-player survival in the current mode (normal)】
[This script will likely generate possible branches, hidden tasks and cracked worldviews]
[Win the script to pass the level: randomly get a skill card that can be learned or equipped props, one puzzle]
[Screen Generation...]
【Loading starts, please wait.】
Finally, the light once again occupied the world in front of Xiao Gongji, and as usual, the plot CG was played... This time the plot seemed to take place in an amusement park.
Chapter completed!
