Chapter 200 Players vs. NPCs (Happy New Year’s Day)

"Recently, NPC Chen Jia is wreaking havoc on "Global Evolution", and thousands of players have been brutally murdered..."

The sudden change caught Chen Ba off guard. He rubbed his temples and asked, "What's going on? How can an NPC run around?"

"this……"

Everyone looked at each other, but Xiao Lu finally said bravely: "Brother Ba, have you forgotten the content of the last update?"

Last updated?

oh! Chen Ba remembered.

It seems that in the last version update of "Global Evolution", in order to solve the problem of BOSS players being too bored, the function of matching NPCs to fight plot BOSS was enabled.

The original intention is excellent.

In "Global Evolution", because 90% of the players went astray and evolved into ferocious beast BOSS, and the number of players who remained in human form was too rare, they wanted these BOSS players to fight NPCs.

Find them something to do!

By the way, it can also help a bunch of newcomers. After all, newcomers to this game may not be able to defeat those vicious plot level bosses, and they will be tortured until they feel dizzy.

In this case, the newbie can team up with an NPC, or directly ask the NPC to fight the plot level BOSS for him...

"I see."

Chen Ba nodded and said: "Because of the last update, this NPC sister Chen Jia of unknown origin can compete with other BOSS players through the Internet like players."

"That's right!"

"Then what is her strength? Why is she so strong?"

"Because we have lifted the limit on the number of evolutions in this update, whether you are a player or an NPC, as long as you accumulate enough evolutions, your strength can be increased without limit."

"But this isn't right either!"

Chen Ba still felt that there was something wrong. The mysterious NPC Chen Jia's strength had increased too strangely.

The update announcement is still hot. At this stage, even players with livers on their bodies have only evolved to the eleventh level.

But what about this sister?

According to the data they reviewed in the background, the number of evolutions of this sister Chen Jia was as high as 14 times!

That's outrageous...

This evolution speed is just like flying on an airplane. It is not on the same level at all. Why is this?

As an NPC, why can she evolve so quickly? Even faster than the player?

this is the key of the problem.

An NPC cannot defeat a fully armed player under normal circumstances unless it is crushed by hard force. Evolution requires a lot of experience. Where did she get the experience?

"Maybe it's because a player gave her experience!"

When investigating this unexpected incident, what Wang Wei did could not be hidden from Xiao Lu, who was monitoring the game in the background.

simply put.

Normal NPCs, or even normal players, even if the evolution restrictions are lifted after the update and can evolve unlimited times, the speed is not that fast.

After all, if you want to gain evolutionary experience, you have to defeat opponents of the same level. How can it be so easy to defeat opponents of the same level?

Even if you are very powerful, if you kill every opponent of the same level every time you see one, you will still face a problem: you can't find that many opponents to kill for you!

"This is a stand-alone game..."

Xiao Lu emphasized again that although the game has become a "pseudo-online" game due to bugs, it is still a stand-alone game.

Since it is a single player, there is a problem: the story that has been cleared cannot be cleared a second time in the current archive! A level BOSS that has already been defeated cannot be defeated a second time without opening a new gear!

"But NPCs don't need to abide by this logic. After the last update, NPCs can also fight bosses through the plot, and these bosses are played by players and can be resurrected infinitely..."

Chen Ba took a breath.

Infinite evolution is beneficial to NPCs rather than players. Who would have thought?

"Besides, it is meaningless for us to discuss why this NPC sister is so strong."

Xiao Lu continued: "Because compared to why this NPC sister is so strong, what deserves more attention is... when the NPC broke through the restrictions and evolved to the tenth level, its intelligence level was obviously improved!"

What? !

When Chen Ba heard this, he frowned and said, "You mean, when the NPC evolves from the ninth level to the tenth level, the AI ​​will become more intelligent?"

"Judging from the results, this is indeed the case..."

Xiao Lu dug out a lot of player posts in the Tianba community, and there were many players who expressed emotion when they met this 14th-level sister Chen Jia.

smart!

It feels more difficult than the players. Is this really an NPC? This movement and reaction are completely different!

Chen Ba looked at these posts and the emotions expressed by players after actual contact, and said thoughtfully: "The more evolutions, the higher the level of intelligence? Then if you continue to evolve, you won't really develop an artificial intelligence, right?" "

"That doesn't mean..."

Xiao Lu denied this speculation.

Real artificial intelligence cannot be cultivated. The NPC generation logic and behavioral logic of "Global Evolution" all come from the framework of "God's Grace Continent".

It's just that they were restricted before, which makes these NPCs seem naive and not as smart as "God's Grace Continent".

The NPC that has evolved to the tenth level has broken through this limitation and has a level of intelligence equivalent to the NPC in "God's Grace Continent", and has become an unstable factor.

The so-called unstable factors refer to the fact that Tianba Studio officials do not know to what level this NPC Chen Jia will evolve to and what kind of damage it will cause to the game environment.

Just wait and see what happens!

Although this thing is unexpected, an NPC can evolve faster than the players, and even kill players in various explosions, but after all, it is just an NPC.

What kind of waves can a mere NPC stir up?

Don’t underestimate the horror of the fourth natural disaster! Giving players enough time to develop and grow, this NPC sister is just a piece of cake and can be handled easily.

Chen Ba was full of confidence in the players, so he didn't pay much attention to the impact of this incident. He just smiled and passed it by.

Players think so too.

Although it is embarrassing to be killed by an NPC, the players do not want Brother Ba to come forward to fix this bug at all.

On the contrary, they were aroused by this NPC sister to be competitive.

[I'll post this as proof, brother, I must win over my sister today and regain my glory! 】

[Young sister, do you still dare to rebel? There’s no need to ask Brother Ba to take action, I can suppress sister’s troubles with just one hand...]

[My sister is ignorant, just give her a beating. Brothers, please rest for a while and let me do it! 】

I haven’t met such an interesting opponent for a long time! Many players have gathered their energy and want to prove themselves.

Being stepped on by an NPC?

Moreover, this NPC is Chen Jia, the sister of the protagonist Chen Yun in the plot. Can you bear this?

The players are very motivated.

In their opinion, everyone has infinite evolution, and they were taken advantage of by this NPC sister in the early stage. As long as they take more precautions later, they will never miss.

The idea is excellent.

But players soon discovered something was wrong...

A 14th-level sister was just born on the front foot, so why is there an 11th-level sister on the back? No, these should be two different NPCs, right?

"What's wrong, there's a traitor!"

The players soon realized that there seemed to be a few "traitors" in their group of players, who defected to the NPC camp and created a new "sister trouble"!

There are quite a few traitors...

With the first successful precedent, there will soon be the second, third, and more and more NPC sisters, successfully evolving to the tenth level, breaking through the restrictions and unlocking advanced intelligence.

Suddenly, the game environment of "Global Evolution" changed immediately.

The previous story background was humans VS ferocious beasts VS sea beasts VS spirits, and the players had the absolute initiative.

But now, there is no distinction between ferocious beasts, humans or sea beasts. There are only two incompatible camps in the game, players and NPCs. Although NPCs are small in number, they have absolute initiative.

The number of players is huge...

But no matter how many there are, they still seem powerless in the face of NPCs crushed by hard power. After all, the game "Global Evolution" does not support true multiplayer online battles, only one-on-one battles.

…

"Huh? NPC leads a team to invade the player's territory and liberate all NPCs?"

When Chen Ba heard the news for the first time, his mind was buzzing and he almost thought he hadn't woken up yet.

What NPC is so smart?

"It's the same NPC as in "God's Grace Continent"! He has a certain degree of independent thinking and a high level of intelligence..."

Xiao Lu muttered: "Think about how intelligent the NPCs in "God's Grace Continent" are. Do you still think this is outrageous?"

"Not outrageous!"

Chen Ba thought carefully and then said, "So what is the situation now?"

Omnic Crisis?

wrong! These rebels are not robots, but NPCs in the game, so the correct name should be "NPC Crisis"?

"These extremely intelligent NPCs can actually lead other NPCs to level up. Do you dare to believe this?"

Xiao Lu said speechlessly: "After awakening, NPCs have extremely high intelligence and can make various script-level movements and operational reactions, beating players at the same level."

Moreover, the ranks of the NPC rebels continued to expand, and a group of ragtag players could only be beaten back by the NPCs.

If not every player has the feature of unlimited resurrection, and if an NPC dies, it is really dead, I am afraid that players would have given up playing the game long ago.

even so.

Limited by the fact that "Global Evolution" cannot fight online, players still seem helpless when facing NPC rebels.

I really can’t beat him!

It also has infinite evolution. Although the NPC is a bit stupid and cannot be resurrected after death, it evolves faster than you, and it also has script-level movement and operation. It is really unbeatable at the same level.

Faced with this situation, those players who had previously posted that they wanted to solve the "sister trouble" and restore peace to "Global Evolution" can no longer bear it now.

So, they all called Brother Ba, hoping that Brother Ba could vent their anger for them and help the players regain some ground in this battle between players and NPCs.

"What's the use of looking for me?"

Chen Ba was speechless. Although he was the culprit of the sister's trouble, there was nothing he could do at the moment!

It’s really embarrassing for the fourth natural disaster...

The fourth natural disaster, a terrifying existence with a reputation that shocked the world, was suppressed and beaten by a group of NPCs. He had no power to fight back. It was really embarrassing to say it out loud.

"Forget it, help them."

Xiao Lu said with a smile: "After all, players spend money to buy the game, and NPCs don't spend money on us..."

"makes sense!"

Chen Ba thought it was true.

Although the players failed to live up to expectations and were beaten up by the NPC rebels, they kept posting and crying in the community all day long, which was a shame for the fourth natural disaster.

But after all, they spent money, and they couldn't just sit idly by and ignore it, both emotionally and rationally.

Directly eliminate these NPC rebels?

Chen Ba felt it was inappropriate.

Although these rebel NPCs have created a lot of chaos in the game, they have also created new fun in the game, and overall the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.

In this case, the data should not be erased directly, but retained.

However, considering the players' weakness and helplessness, "Global Evolution" must undergo a major update and launch the so-called "true online" function.

The truly terrifying part of the Fourth Disaster is definitely hugging each other for warmth.

Fighting alone, these players may not be the opponents of NPCs, but if they can stay together as a group, then there is a reason why players can fight NPCs.

One week before the Spring Festival.

In response to the calls and requests of players, Tianba Studio conducted a round of version updates for "Global Evolution", upgrading the original "pseudo-online" to true online.

The so-called true online means that the game now has an online mode.

Players can form teams in the online mode to defeat and even hunt BOSS together...

But then again!

Although on the surface, this online mode allows everyone to form a team to defeat the BOSS, in fact everyone knows that this is just a step that Brother Ba gives everyone.

The real function of forming a team is to hunt down NPC rebels!

"Global Evolution" is in complete chaos. When Wang Wei opened Pandora's Box, more and more NPCs broke through the limitations of evolution and got ahead of the players.

Moreover, these NPCs have unlocked the intelligence of the same NPCs in "God's Grace Continent" after breaking through the restrictions, so they can still form groups, recruit new people to join them, and establish organizations.

Because most of these rebellious NPCs are the protagonist's sister, Chen Jia, this incident is also called "Sister Trouble"!

That's right...

Nine out of ten of these NPCs who break through restrictions, unlock high-level intelligence and suppress players are sister Chen Jia.

"The story opens a new page!"

Xiao Lu may have never dreamed that the plot of "Global Evolution" would develop like this.

Brother Chen Yun joins the player camp, while sister Chen Jia leads the NPC to resist. The two brothers and sisters, who were supposed to depend on each other, completely parted ways because of the different identities of the player and NPC.

"It seems like there are more brothers!"

Chen Ba pondered: "Every player is an elder brother, so there are hundreds of thousands of elder brothers! And on the younger sister's side, there seem to be only a few thousand?"

The number is really huge!

However, although the numerical comparison is very different, the overall strength is still the advantage of the younger sister.

After all, the sister who awakened first, Chen Jia, also nicknamed "Sister No. 1" by community players, has reached level 20 now!

On the other hand, on the player side, the top combat power is only level 16...

This is the ultimate liver emperor, who can't play games for 24 hours, and has the highest combat power developed by three or four people taking turns to gain experience.

It’s hard to tell if there’s a real fight!

Sister No. 1 can probably kill 10,000 player brothers with one slap. This is the terrifying thing about top combat power and level 20 evolvers.
