Chapter 27 The Charm of Total Greed

Chapter 27 The Charm of Total Greed

Obviously, the appearance of this video made netizens feel a little unexpected.

Instructor Ding had to choose to block the barrage before he could clearly see the operations in this video.

The video lasts for more than thirty minutes, which is considered a long video, but for players of the game "Sisyphus", it is already incredibly short.

Because the current best record on the entire network set by anchor Heilong is also 49 minutes long!

At first, Professor Ding subconsciously thought that this video did not run the entire course. After all, the time was too short, and the official rankings had not been refreshed.

But after watching the entire video, Professor Ding fell silent.

This 33-minute video actually ran the entire distance!

The reason why there is no official record is because the player chose to push the boulder down the cliff just before arriving at the Garden of Eden, so this result was not recorded.

Why do this?

Lecturer Ding doesn’t know either.

But in any case, this video is indeed uncut, proving that the fastest completion time of the game "Sisyphus" can be compressed to 33 minutes.

What shocked Professor Ding even more was that this person's gameplay could be described in two words.

That is……

Totally greedy!

What is "greed"?

This concept comes from the speedrunning player group.

In the process of pursuing "the fastest clearance of a certain game", players will fix the clearance process and continuously optimize it.

During the customs clearance process, players often encounter a dilemma many times: Should they choose a safe but longer route? Or choose a dangerous but shorter route?

This dangerous but short route may require the player to solve a special bug, or use a special game mechanism, or simply place high demands on the player's operation.

It is often accompanied by extremely high risks, and once it fails, all previous efforts will be lost.

When players choose to try these high-risk operations in order to shorten the clearance time, it is called "greed".

For ordinary players, they tend to be more rational and conservative when it comes to the question of "should they be greedy?"

Take the two anchors "Black Dragon" and "Lao Lu" who are competing for the top spot at this time.

They never mindlessly pursue the fastest route, but prefer to break records by "squeezing toothpaste".

the reason is simple.

First of all, the fastest route must also be the one with the highest risk. There are many points that can be greedy and are actually very uneconomical. It's probably less than half the rate of success, but even if it did it would only add a minute to the record time.

If the success rate of the five key points is less than half, then the superimposed success rate will be less than 3%. This is a simple mathematical problem.

Obviously optimizing other places can break the record, so why take such a big risk to pursue the limit?

To successfully complete a full run, it may take two or three days, which is too risky.

This requires not only extremely skilled skills, but also a strong mentality and a little bit of luck, and even the latter two are far more important than the former.

Secondly, slowly breaking the record by squeezing out toothpaste can maintain the heat to the maximum extent.

Just like many Olympic champions, in the absence of strong competitors, even if they have the ability to directly improve the world record by a large margin, they often hold back and slowly break the record.

So all things considered, whether from a game perspective or from a realistic perspective, "all greed" is not a rational choice.

But the expert in this video seems to have no understanding of these hidden rules.

I directly chose "Total Greed"!

In other words, wherever the current route can be optimized or improved, the faster route has been chosen, regardless of how high the probability of failure is on this route!

The most shocking part of this "full greed" gameplay is of course the theme of this video "Five consecutive dragons fluttering their wings".

Lecturer Ding watched the five flappings of the dragon's wings over and over again without saying a word.

All I can say is, it’s amazing!

As the discoverer of dragon flapping, Professor Ding knows better than anyone how difficult this operation is. Whether it is the timing to start accelerating, the distance or the starting position, there are very strict restrictions, and the slightest deviation will lead to thousands of miles.

Of course, players will definitely choose to "record points".

But just like the driver's license test, even if you memorize the points, you will still panic when you get to the exam room, and you will still fail when you should fail.

But the man in the video is like a precise machine. Although there are some small flaws and mistakes, he was almost perfect in the five times the dragon flapped its wings!

The dragon flaps its wings five times in a row, and the visual effect is simply off the charts, and the audience will be amazed every time.

After watching the video, the viewers in the live broadcast room were also stunned.

"Let me go, who is this?"

"Who does Tai Chi!"

“A casual game is so complicated??”

"This operation is so smooth!"

"I opened my eyes by stabbing my butt with a knife. Can this game still be played like this? This dung beetle is flying in the sky with a ball of dung the whole time?"

"I thought anyone who played this game was polio, I was wrong!"

"Only people who have never played this game will think this operation is awesome. People who have played it are already on their knees. This is not an operation that humans can perform at all!"

"This is what racing is. Brother Quantan is awesome! It's not like Heilong and Lao Lu, who squeezed out toothpaste every day and went from 53 to 51 and then to 49 for three whole days. It’s okay now, brother Quan Tan will give you all a shark!”

While everyone was shocked by this "Brother Quan Tan", Heilong and Lao Lu, two anchors who specialize in broadcasting "Sisyphus" racing, also felt unprecedented pressure.

Because of this video, the game record was greatly compressed from 49 minutes to 33 minutes.

Although I don’t know why the author of the video took the initiative to push the boulder down the cliff and gave up uploading the record, the video is here and all the players have approved it.

In other words, all future "Sisyphus" players who want to pursue the limit and become the new number one must meet two conditions at the same time: first, complete five consecutive dragon wings, and second, the time ratio is 33 Minutes shorter!

Otherwise, it won't be recognized by anyone.

Heilong and Lao Lu were already sweating profusely. They each silently lit a cigarette and then started speedrunning "Sisyphus" again.

But this time, their goals all became "Fifth Dragon Wings".

And when Professor Ding finished watching this video, the trend in his live broadcast room also changed 180 degrees!

The audience was already a little tired of watching, but now that Professor Ding had successfully achieved 12th place, and also performed a successful dragon fluttering wings, everyone felt that it was almost over.

But the appearance of this video made their challenge spirit burn brightly again!

"Xiao Ding! Did you see that someone has already flapped their wings?"

"That's right, we can't lose! We are still ten minutes away from being number one in the world!"

"Now you are on the same starting line as Heilong and Lao Lu. It depends on which of you breaks the world record first."

"Run! Keep running! Let everyone see the strength of our Ding family army!"

Seeing the fans in the live broadcast room being so united, Professor Ding was also quite moved.

"Okay! Brothers, since you all think so highly of me and support me, then I will fight again!

"Although this game no longer has commercial orders, I will continue to play it for another week! Our goal is to challenge the Five Dragons to flap their wings and challenge the world's number one in this game!"

Lecturer Ding felt that the blood in his body was about to boil. He reopened the game "Sisyphus" and started the challenge again!

…

"puff!!"

Seeing this scene, Lilith almost spit out blood.

She never expected that Professor Ding would continue to broadcast the game even though he no longer gave her money.

And she didn't expect that the impact of this incident would go far beyond that!

Gu Fan looked at the various negative emotional reminders appearing in his field of vision. It was obvious that the situation had changed slightly.

Originally, with the withdrawal of a group of old players, the negative emotions generated by this game showed signs of recovery, but now, the negative emotions have begun to decline rapidly again, and they are getting worse!

Obviously, this video not only made the anchors sweat and made the top racing track of "Sisyphus" more interesting, it also made a large number of old players come back to the game!

Why did these old players who had previously reduced their negative emotional value quit the game?

To put it bluntly, it means temporarily losing the target in the game.

But now, they have a new goal. This video of "Brother Quantan" has inspired everyone who is playing "Sisyphus"!
