Chapter 68 The Lost Heart
Gu Fan talked about several different monsters in succession.
Lilith was stunned: "But there are no such things in heaven!"
Gu Fan sighed softly: "What we are making is a game, not a promotional video for Paradise. This is all about artistic expression. Isn't this normal!
"You have this kind of relationship between hell and heaven, and you are still considering saving face for them?"
Lilith showed an expression of deep approval: "Huh? What you said makes sense!
"Michael has plotted against me like this, and there is no need for me to save face for him! He must be smeared!
"Your suggestion is very good. Angels should have such ugly faces in the human world!
"Besides, I didn't say this is heaven, this is just the Kingdom of God, hehe!
"Any other suggestions?"
Lilith looked at Gu Fan expectantly.
Gu Fan frowned, pretending to be racking his brains, and finally squeezed out an idea from his mind.
"I think the online mechanism of this game can also be slightly changed."
Lilith flipped through the design plan: "Really? I think this networking plan is perfect.
"This game supports up to 16 people online, and up to five "Fire Thieves" can appear in the Kingdom of God at the same time.
"And I've written down the fire thief's refresh rules very clearly."
Gu Fan shook his head: "The rules are very clear, but there is a problem: the more games there are such online gameplay, the faster the loss of players will be!
"Just think about it, this game is so discouraging that even if the players can gather sixteen people to play together, they will definitely run out quickly.
“On the first day there were ten, and on the second day there were none left.
“Everyone has a bandwagon effect.
"For those games that are very good to play, this may not be a big problem, but for the game "Fire Thief", the problem of player churn is very fatal."
Lilith was very curious: "But what can we do?
"Let me think about it... add some robots to this game?
“But the robot will be spotted by players at a glance.
"Do you have a better way?"
Gu Fan said: "That's what I think.
“When the player quits the game, we can leave him a ‘cyber tombstone’ in the game.
“When these players exit the game, their characters will become mummies in tattered clothing, retaining their character names and general appearance, and continuing to do hard labor and simple tasks.
“We can also add an official setting and call them ‘disheartened ones’.”
Lilith was a little confused: "But what's the difference between this and what I said? Why don't we just add some robots to the game?"
Gu Fan shook his head: "No, although they are both robots, there are still differences.
“If they were just ordinary robots, players would not have any feelings for them.
“But if it is a robot with a friend’s ID, appearance and wearing friend’s equipment, then it will have some special meaning to the players.
“Perhaps players will recall the days when they played with their friends, which will help inspire players and keep them in the game for a while longer.
“Or maybe when they see these friends still doing hard work, they will dilute their frustration a little bit and feel, ‘He is worse off than me’.
"Players may even wonder if this 'Cyber Tombstone' has some new hidden gameplay? After searching for a long time, I found that there is not.
“Not only does this create negative emotions, it also allows them to stick with it for a little while longer!”
Lilith thoughtfully said: "Well...it does make sense.
"But this seems to only affect players who are hard workers, right? What about players who are fire thieves?"
Gu Fan said: "Why don't we let the Fire Thief players also encounter them?
"In the Kingdom of God, "Heartless" monsters may appear randomly. These monsters wear the equipment of the player's teammates, look similar, and will also emit the voice that the teammates once said.
“After meeting the players, these losers will pounce directly on them, infect the players into new losers, and then move away all the belongings of the players!
"If we feel that these heartless ones are not strong enough to pose a big threat to the players, we can also combine them with the "Heaven Guards" who only have armor left!
"In this way, you can create another wave of negative emotions, why not?"
Lilith couldn't help but exclaimed: "What a great idea! In a crisis-ridden environment, hearing a person speaking the voice of a teammate appears, but when you think that your teammate is actually dead, it should instantly frighten the player!"
Gu Fan added: "However, as a 'disheartened person', whether it appears within the country of God or outside of God, a rule needs to be issued to restrict it."
Lilith asked: "Why are there restrictions? I want them all!
"Just allow the same 'disheartened person' to appear inside and outside God at the same time. Those outside are just slaves, and those inside are monsters.
"Anyway, just give me an explanation for the world view setting! Let's just say... The Kingdom of God is full of dangers. After the angel kills the "Fire Stealer", he will turn his body into a "Heartless One" and stay there forever. In the Kingdom of God...
"But the fire thieves will be resurrected infinitely in the Kingdom of God through the "Altar of Divine Fire". As they die again and again, the Kingdom of God will become more and more dangerous, and the number of lost people will overrun...
"Hehehe, it's interesting to think about it!"
Lilith can already imagine the scene of players being "sieged by zombies" in the Kingdom of God by those who have lost their hearts.
She stood up and walked about the living room very happily.
"Okay, then I will revise the design plan again. If everything goes well, it can be developed immediately!
"By the way, there is one more thing I have to leave to you.
"It's those little gifts!"
Speaking of "little gifts", Lilith's expression became a little ferocious, as if she was reminded of some bad memories in Chen Tingquan's live broadcast room.
“Damn it, I originally wanted to screen out the threatening targets among the players and focus on them, but I didn’t expect that there were so many players who cleared the level!
"I remember this Chen Tingquan, huh, he'd better not fall into my hands in the future!"
Lilith said this with gritted teeth.
Apparently, Lilith made this questionnaire on the game clearing screen, mainly because she felt that not many people would be able to clear this game.
If there are some people who can pass the level, it means they are dangerous objects that need to be focused on. Use some small gifts to deceive their personal information. In the future, whether it is soft or hard, you can make arrangements for a rainy day.
But what she didn't expect was that there was a bug in the game and too many people had cleared it!
The game process of "Destiny Wolong Legend" is not long. If you play it normally, a game will only take an hour at most.
After players know the bug of "Wolong Ce Nesting", if they play it carefully several times, at least 70% of the players will be able to pass the level.
There are too many players who have cleared the level, and the law cannot be held accountable!
This is also guarding a hammer.
Even if there are not many players who actually fill in their contact information and address, they account for at least nearly 30% of all players, which is not a small number.
Lilith just remembered the biggest one, Chen Tingquan.
Gu Fan asked nervously: "Mr. Li, how are you going to 'thank' him? Can you arrange a one-day trip to hell? If you really go for further study, Chen Tingquan's treasure appraisal ability should be able to make great progress."
"Especially for those foreign cultural relics, you can tell at a glance whether the door is open or not."
Speaking of this, Lilith was visibly discouraged.
"Although I really want to arrange for him to be a guest in hell,... this matter is a bit difficult to handle. Our hell has limited influence on the human world, and the most I can do now is give him a nightmare.
“And even so, there is still a chance that angels will discover it and affect our plans in hell.
"So, let him go for now!"
Gu Fan chuckled in his heart. Sure enough, it was just as he guessed.
Previously, Professor Ding found two key bugs in succession, but Lilith was unable to do anything to him. This shows that hell demons are strictly restricted in the human world.
If you really want to do something outrageous, angels won't just sit idly by!
But here comes the question, why is it that no one cares about me when I was cut off by the devil and forced to sign a contract... Do time travelers have so no human rights!
Lilith sighed silently: "Why don't we just refuse to pay for these small gifts? Although I can't receive the negative emotions generated through this form, at least I will let out a bad breath!"
Gu Fan almost spit out a mouthful of old blood and quickly advised: "This is inappropriate!
"Mr. Li, our Nitiantian Game Company is a serious company after all, and we still have to do what we promise players.
"If we default on our debt now, if the next game is boycotted by players and they don't come to play it, then won't the negative emotions collected by "Fire Thief" be reduced?"
