Chapter 58:
Hello agents, this is Taozi, the AI assistant of Idol Academy (hereinafter referred to as Ouyu). Regarding the recent feedback from a large number of players, that is, questions related to the character star-raising mechanism, Taozi will serve as the official representative and give the following explanations and answers.
1. What's the matter with the star promotion mechanism? Why was it not mentioned in the previous publicity and internal testing.
Answer: The character star-raising mechanism is a hidden setting in the game, which is included in the settings of each character. That is, in theory, each character has the possibility of rising stars. Because it is difficult to trigger, no character has reached the trigger condition during the internal test, and this setting is related to the growth mechanism of the character itself. AI judges that changing the setting will affect the growth of the character, so this hidden setting has not been eliminated.
Considering the difficult trigger conditions, the promotion did not focus on the description.
2. What kind of requirements are fulfilled in order for the character to be promoted?
Answer: In theory, except for the five-star character that is the highest limit of the game, every character has the possibility of star promotion. Specifically, the character needs to break through its own star level, reach or far exceed the level of the next star, and have a certain training value. After this condition is met, there is no need for players to apply, and the system will automatically increase the star rating after settlement.
I hereby remind players that the star-raising mechanism is not easy to achieve, please don't try it rashly to avoid wasting resources.
3. Why can the character "Xingdou" be promoted?
Answer: According to the answer to question 2, the character "Star Dou" has been tested by the system, and the ability value has exceeded the one-star category, and the one-star character growth standard cannot be used for numerical calculation. After being verified by AI, he already has two-star ability and has training value, so a reasonable star-raising operation has been carried out.
4. Does it affect the plot and card pool?
Answer: The presentation of the characters in the plot is related to their own settings, the player's choice of routes, training programs and other factors. The plot of each character is a reasonable action simulated by the player's current choice. The star change of a single character will not greatly change the relationship between the characters, and the impact on the personal plot is only 0.17%.
After the simulation test, the impact of the star-raising mechanism on the card pool is within the controllable range, and the probability of affecting the player's card drawing and game balance is 3.82%, which will not have a big impact on the card pool.
Remind once again that star promotion requires a lot of resources, which is almost the same as that of drawing cards, so you need to try carefully.
5. In addition to these problems, what changes?
Answer: The original character card face still appears in the card pool. Star upgrade is a special mechanism, and the card face after star upgrade will not enter the card pool.
The initial card face of a character who has been upgraded will be based on the highest star level achieved, and the corresponding draw probability will be reduced to balance the game. The old card faces of the characters that have been upgraded are stored in the character illustration, and the card face can be switched. The characters who have been upgraded will not perform the star drop operation, and the resources required from the initial star rating to the current star rating will be reduced…]
The rest is the appeasement compensation given by the game official for this riot, which seems to be some resources and physical supplements.
Xingdou didn't read the compensation part carefully, and only read the previous part about the rising star carefully.
After reading this, the question that originally puzzled him finally got the answer-why did nothing special happen, but he was promoted to star.
Xingdou lowered his eyes, spread his hands, and stared at it quietly for a while, as if he wanted to see the so-called power of control, and then slowly closed into a fist and whispered softly: "...because the value is enough Do you like others?"
He never knew that he still had such a road to star rise, and he could change it in such a way.
A long time ago, he placed the hope of rising stars on the players, hoping that they would like him and help him make requests and change the settings. But relying on the so-called liking is really too illusory, and he is unwilling to please other characters, giving himself more possibilities to be liked by players, so this road was quickly abandoned by him.
His existence, and finally from this hatred, should be a change that should be on par with other characters.
In order to achieve this, he needs a strength that cannot be ignored, so he does not dare to relax for a moment, and strives to grow in his own way.
However, Xing Dou didn't expect that the road he thought was still very long, actually took the first step in this form.
What is this? A matter of course? Or a surprise?
He couldn't make an accurate evaluation of this matter for a while, but just made it clear - from then on, at least his path was no longer groping in the dark, but turned into a difficult peak.
I can't see the top of the cloud and fog, and I don't know how far to go, but there is always a way forward.
"Don't worry, this is the beginning." Xingdou warned himself, calming down the secretly surging emotions due to the rising star, "After that, we must continue to work hard, explore the limit of ability, and move up step by step. Walk."
He glanced at the forum, and the players under the announcement were already noisy, discussing hidden settings, discussing the difficulty of character promotion, discussing the rewards given... It seems that there is nothing particularly noteworthy for the time being The news, Xing Dou exited the page, closed his eyes for three seconds, opened them again, packed up his mood, and walked to the bathroom.
He looked at the dark-haired boy with a cold expression in the mirror, and said silently: "I can't stop yet."
For Xingdou, this is just a slightly special day, and there is no change in what to do.
Today is also the first day after the game, and the post-match review was originally scheduled to take place.
Yang Yu sat down on the seat, lying on the table weakly, like some kind of cartilaginous animal, lazy and unwilling to move.
"What did you do last night?" Anmas sitting on the other side raised his eyebrows, looking at Yang Yu, who was about to turn into a pool of water, quite novel. Usually Yang Yu is quite energetic, looking around, it is rare to be so loose.
"I didn't do anything." Yang Yu yawned again between answers, his eyes wandering, "I won the first place yesterday, I was lying in bed and recalling the process of the game, and suddenly I was so excited that I couldn't sleep. , I got up and watched the video of the game, and I accidentally saw the early morning when I watched it."
He frowned, his face full of regret: "I didn't expect it to take so long, it's too uncomfortable to get up today..."
Anmus was silent for a moment, and didn't say that he actually re-watched the video, but it was not too late. Rather than being excited, he was more about studying his own shortcomings this time and analyzing the strengths of others.
But he doesn't speak, someone else will.
"I originally thought that self-discipline was the most basic requirement, but I realized later that in some people's concepts, there is no such word at all."
The ironic statement grabbed the attention first, and then Xia Yuan, who arrived, glanced at Yang Yu, who was paralyzed on the table, and dismissed it.
"Before you say that, cover up your own dark circles." Yang Yu sneered, turned his face, and was too lazy to care about this guy.
Xia Yuan's face darkened due to the uncontrollable excitement, and he sat far away from Yang Yu and stopped talking.
Xing Dou and Wen Lun are classrooms that go back and forth.
To Yang Yu's surprise, although Wen Lun had the usual faint smile on his face, he also looked like he had not slept well. Also seems very tired.
"That guy also has such a personality?" Yang Yu muttered, always feeling that the words like passion and passion were associated with Wen Lun, and he was getting goosebumps.
But the facts do vary.
Wen Lun was exhausted because he took the initiative to stay up late. He was also watching videos, and even entered many groups and internal discussion threads, actively speaking and diligently recording. If it wasn't that most of these were related to Star Dou, it would be considered serious study.
Seeing Yang Yu muttering in his heart, no matter what happens, only Xing Dou here will always be calm and calm, like a mountain forest that cannot be blown down by the strong wind.
Xingdou did not know that Yang Yu gave him such an evaluation. After sitting down, he did not click on the learning video as usual. Instead, he clicked on the forum and scanned it at a glance, ready to get it from the analysis posts of the players. more intelligence.
Although players like to exaggerate from the post describing him, but they have different perspectives, as audiences, they should have different ideas and opinions, maybe it can help him find More directions for improvement.
Sometimes there are even internal beta players who reveal some future information. For Xingdou, who has almost forgotten the memory in the dream, it is tantamount to knowing the next event in advance and making adequate preparations for it. .
The time they experience in the game is completely different from the player outside the game.
The big event that players say a week later may be a week or a month for them.
After all, the player's experience time in the game can be directly covered by Skip, or a description of "one month later", but for them in the game, it is a real passage of time. It's like Xingdou has been studying in the academy for almost two months, but for the players, it has only been two weeks since the server started, and the first big event has just started, and the plot has not gone much.
Speaking of the problem of different perspectives, Xingdou noticed another thing when he browsed the post, and it was also an idea that many agents gave him when they said different things to him in the third game.
Xingdou understands that he has only one player, so many players have chosen to cultivate him, and the training direction and progress are different. Which one is he facing?
If you guessed correctly, maybe those "star buckets" are him, not him.
He, as the main body, lives in the world of the idol training academy, and the players are probably exposed to the split data derived from his data.
Xingdou does not doubt that if there is a split, he is the main body. The evidence is the mainline experience information disclosed on the forum, which is all his experience. Some characters who have cultivated Xingdou said that things that he had never seen before were part of what he had done.
The events are scattered and may not all fire.
These values gathered on the split will be aggregated by AI to generate the training value of the ontology, and the ontology, that is, his actions will affect the selection of the split, which is equivalent to a cyclical feedback process.
According to this guess, the next agent route, nine times out of ten, is not a real player coming to them, but a group composed of many players' selection tendencies, which can represent them to a certain extent people.
Xingdou was thinking a little, not sure what kind of agent he would meet, but he hoped that the agent would not interfere too much with his study and life, at least give him the space to make his own decisions .
While he was immersed in his thoughts, Gong Guangxi had already arrived in the classroom, followed by Feng Xuesong.
The blond teacher stood on the podium, swept over the sluggish students below, and said with a chuckle: "It seems that everyone was actually very energetic yesterday, so you shouldn't be sent back so early. , we still have a chat."
The kind words contained unspeakable threats, and all the students immediately shivered, sat up straight, raised their heads, opened their eyes wide, and looked at the teachers, trying to show that they were full of energy looks like.
Facing this scene, Gong Guangxi raised the corners of his mouth, and said earnestly: "Don't force yourself, you should go back to rest when you are sleepy. After all, if you want to become an idol, you should have a good schedule. of."
"No, no reluctance." Many people answered quickly, shaking their heads like a rattle, completely denying their sleepiness.
"Really? Then I'm relieved."
Gong Guangxi laughed, and stopped talking about the deep and shallow dark circles on the students' faces, and turned around and talked about this competition: "Although I said it yesterday, but for the sake of To create a little atmosphere, I'll say it again - congratulations to everyone who won the game and successfully got a limited-time ticket to continue the idol career."
"But I think you also understand that this is just the beginning, and the difficulties and pains in the future may be much stronger than now. I sincerely hope that everyone can give full play to their talents and walk smoothly in this direction. on the road."
With these words as an opening remark, he began the replay of the third game.
In order to avoid the students fighting each other, private revenge and other actions, only the class director and the students themselves know the number of votes each student won in the third game, Gong Guangxi will not Say these.
What he wants to say is to combine the performance of the students with high votes in the first two games and personal characteristics, how to get more audience's attention, how to get a deeper impression, Fight for your own memory.
Gong Guangxi does not advocate creating a completely false self, but only creating a character set for the general public.
"You know, as idols, we are also ordinary people." The former top idol said this calmly, "Being ordinary people is destined to have shortcomings, likeable and attractive Disgusting places. There are even some flaws that we can't change, like height, like voice."
" But it is the mission of idols to show what you like and bring more hope and yearning to people. You don't have to be persistent for those shortcomings, and do your best to show your beauty, that's enough People who have been living with fake masks are not idols or actors, they are just clowns living in their own world who dare not face the real voice of the outside world.”
He doesn't know if what he is doing now is right, he deliberately acts as a villain, deliberately ignores those seemingly vague good intentions, suppresses emotional fluctuations, and lives calmly and restrained.
Maybe one day, he means maybe, he feels that he has gone far enough, and he will be willing to unload the inexplicable heavy burden a little, and look back at the ones he has forgotten behind him.
Even then, many things were gone and never came back.
At the same time, Yang Yu's expression did not change, he still looked at the teacher with seriousness, but his hand under the desk suddenly tightened for a moment.
Wen Lun's smile gradually faded, and she glanced coldly at herself reflected in the glass. The pink-haired boy's expression was innocent, and the pure black eyes seemed to shake a little in the sunlight red.
"Real..." He sneered silently.
After the review, Gong Guangxi mentioned another thing.
One of the rewards for the last game - the opportunity to participate in the performing arts.
It is said that the school has given three choices for the students of Class A to choose. One is an opportunity to participate in a TV series or MV, the other is a chance to be a guest in a small concert, and the last is a temporary guest of a variety show.
Participating in a TV series or MV, the role requires the students to interview and get the corresponding role. The school only provides the corresponding opportunity, and there is no guarantee that everyone can get it.
The guests of the small concert are equivalent to temporary substitutes. If the protagonist of the concert needs to rest or there is an accident, the guests can help to maintain the concert. But in the same way, if the protagonist of the singing thinks that there is no need for the guests to appear, it is not without the participants sitting on the bench from beginning to end.
If you can't prove that you can make this concert even better, even if you succeed as a guest, you still risk being excluded.
The same is true for variety show guests. The school will give out a lot of cooperative variety shows, but at most, it will help students get a place as a guest. As for how much attention this guest can get, and how long he can stay under the host's arrangement, it all depends on his personal ability.
This award gives the students the opportunity to be exposed to the public for the first time, so that they, who were still in school, were exposed to the real idol career for the first time The idol life watched by thousands of people.
It is also a test from the school - if you are not worthy of your virtue, if you are not worthy of your name, then this reward will become an alternative whip.
Each student can make their own choice from these three options, and it is not required to be bound by the whole class. After all, idols are a road that requires more personal ability towards the end.
After listening to Gong Guangxi finishing this unexpected reward and getting permission to discuss, the buzzing voice of the students below rang out.
This is indeed a reward that is both risky and rewarding. It is in line with the style of the idol training academy. It will not give benefits to students for no reason, nor will it give meaningless punishment.
Xingdou looked at the three choices written on the screen, and his heart swayed.
Accordingly speaking, he has the memory in the dream, even if he is not familiar with the body, he should understand which of these activities is more suitable.
Unfortunately, the star in the dream debuted very reluctantly, and several commercial activities and performances were not successfully held. Even if it is finally held, most of the time it will fail because of the number of participants. Not only will it fail to recover the money for the performance, but it will also be a waste of time.
So for him, this performance is also very rare.
Performing TV dramas and MVs means that he can get a fixed role, no matter how many scenes, even if there is only one second of footage, it is still an appearance. Later, when others watch this TV series or MV, they will always see his figure.
But it takes very good acting skills to be successful. Wanting to get a role means competing with many seniors who have been in the show business for a long time, maybe seniors, or seniors with more seniority. But there is no doubt that their acting skills are better than his who is still in the groping stage and still has many shortcomings.
If you rashly choose to compete for the role, you may lose quickly and go back to school in despair.
Compared to TV dramas, the competition for the role of concert guest is weaker. With the recommendation of the school, the success rate of being a guest in a certain senior’s performance is relatively high, at least compared to other wild people. It is easier to sit firmly in the guest position.
But if it is a senior's concert, then the difference in strength between the senior senior and the junior junior, or the strength gap between the novice player and the rookie is a big problem. This time, the school gave them the opportunity to show their faces. The first impression on the public may not be too deep, but it is still an important beginning related to themselves.
Quite a good impression.
Maybe they will be compared with seniors from time to time after participating, and they will be said to be not very good.
It is relatively easy to obtain variety shows and concerts in the guest seats, and participating in variety shows does not require much mature acting or singing skills. Sing or perform, others will praise the venue.
But this is the situation of general variety shows. Before you are not sure which variety show it is, you may choose this one, and you may be unlucky to choose survival in the wild.
This is not without precedent. There was a female star agent who did not understand the program situation, confused the variety show that the artist was going to participate in with another show, and actually let the female star participate in the wilderness survival variety show. Follow-up female stars abruptly changed from weak hands that can't be mentioned to real men who can carry the tripod, so I won't repeat them.
Although the current variety show does not have a script, the control of the venue is still determined by the host.
If the guest makes the host unhappy, maybe they only have a few words of self-introduction, and they will sit quietly and silently to the end.
These three options have advantages and disadvantages, and Xingdou really can't make a decision at the moment.
"Xingdou, which one do you want to go to?" The pink-haired boy who came over at some point had a smile on his face, blinking as if curious.
"It's none of your business."
Xingdou avoided him, frowned for a moment, and drew a circle on an option.
He looked at the line of words he had chosen, and worries arose in his heart: I hope this is not too much a tossing activity.
