Chapter 343 A Random City!
On the first day that Night City opened its doors to welcome guests, it turned out to be extremely lively.
However, one big difference from the metropolis is that the main force maintaining order here is not an official force like the Metropolitan Police Department.
In the metropolis, after the player makes an incident, the appearance of the police is regular, and the distance from the police station will also affect the time to rush to the scene.
But in Night City, that's not the case at all.
What maintains the order are more intertwined mafia forces.
According to the world view that has not been fully revealed by the "John Wick" movie, the ruling force in the dark world is the High Table (High Table). Except for the "elders" who are still outside the discussion, power and influence are almost supreme.
The rules are strict and bloody.
But because the film is always unfolded from the perspective of John Wick, until Lin You came here, the main creative team did not explain the following things clearly, and there was no such thing as a detailed set set.
So in fact, a large part of the entire dark empire is still hidden in the fog.
Fortunately, Lin You doesn't have any obsession with morals and cleanliness in this area, and he does all kinds of adaptations and even random things.
In the game "Quick Chase", he simply didn't make these forces and characters in advance.
He didn't even show Fan Rui the plots of the next two movies.
Let Fan Rui do whatever he wants based on the information he gave in the first movie.
He followed behind and stared, as long as it didn't affect the follow-up plot or cause logical bugs, he wouldn't intervene.
Unless it was a particularly serious plot bug, Lin You would stop it and reveal some information to Fan Rui.
It is also for this reason that Fan Rui's team already knew that the game "John Wick" before the development of the game was completed, there must be DLC.
Under Lin You's "stocking" concept, apart from the main plot of the game "John Wick", Night City has completely become a colorful and vivid city with distinctive characters and amazing content!
Here, if you do something out of the ordinary in public, it will almost certainly trigger a special event, and the accident will definitely come before the police!
When Ah Hao was chasing the spirited boy who bombed the street, other strange people such as other spirited boy, drag racing party, passing gangsters, gangsters who joined in the fun, etc. joined in halfway.
And the participation rate is extremely high, yelling excitedly and destroying together.
They may randomly help one side, or neither side, or even attack people on both sides at the same time.
Ah Hao was deeply hurt by it.
But he was by no means the only one suffering from it.
In the metropolis, if you openly pull out a gun on the street, passers-by may run away screaming "Ah" and avoid you.
But in Night City, if you openly pull out a gun, there may be 3, 5, or even 10 people around you with their guns.
They may hold their guns and see what you're up to.
It may also be preemptive, giving you two shots without saying a word "bang bang" to "stop the crime" in advance.
It's even possible to see who you want to fuck, and maybe join you.
Everything is possible!
Just highlight a random one.
After wandering around Night City all night, the players who participated in the closed beta finally understood what a "Crime Capital" is and what it means to be "the highest crime rate in the country for ten consecutive years"!
This mechanism is actually an idea that Lin You came up with after he discovered that Fan Rui had stuffed Night City with a bunch of gangsters, gangsters, killers, criminals, etc. for the player's game experience.
Simply put, it is "adding more randomness".
Different areas of player influence are divided in different locations. Once the player makes any excessive action, the "special NPC" within the range will hear the sound.
And before they take action, the system will roll a polyhedral action dice to randomly determine their behavior.
The original version of dice only has six behavioral logics: "attack, wait and see, neutral, help, shout, and create chaos".
But later, this dice was led by Fan Rui to add more mechanisms, which became more and more complicated, with more and more options, and even more secondary action dice were added.
The final result is that the Night City outside the main mission is almost completely based on randomness.
This has led to the fact that even if they perform the same behavior in the same place, the NPC may have a completely different reaction, which in turn leads to a completely different result...
Although these tasks are invisible to the players, it is quite difficult to even summarize them through observation.
However, NPC's behaviors are becoming more and more abundant, and the details are becoming more and more vivid, which are all visible to the naked eye.
After losing all the money in the casino, Super Tomato has been doing various attempts after completing a few tasks.
I hope to be able to sum up the general law of this mechanism, but after a whole day, I can't figure it out at all.

Outside of the game, Fan Rui and Shen Ping's team attached great importance to this internal test, and almost all members watched from morning till night.
Even people from other teams would take time to read the players' feedback after work.
After all, everyone has boarded the big ship of Yunmeng, and almost most of them have put their careers on virtual reality without hesitation.
And the masterpieces in virtual reality games undoubtedly represent the most advanced concepts and technologies, so it is impossible for them not to pay attention.
Although this "most advanced concept and technology" is not serious enough - Yunmeng is currently the only company that is making virtual reality games.
In other words, no matter what kind of game Lin You leads people to make, this game will naturally become the "most advanced" one...
No competitors, just so happy.
Of course, in a company, it is impossible for everyone to be particularly motivated, and there are always exceptions.
In Yunmeng, this person is their boss - Lin You.
Lin You only paid attention to the situation of several players at the same time at the beginning, and when he found that there was nothing wrong, he asked Xiaomeng to help keep an eye on them, while he quickly put down his work mentality and became a pure spectator.
And after witnessing A Yi's wonderful journey, he didn't even watch the live broadcast in the afternoon.
——Anyway, it’s only the first day, and the combat skills of the players are all Lv.1. Even if Lin You gave him an extra experience bonus, it would take at least the third day to unlock the spear fighting technique and combat induction.
You can't just rely on the tasks of the Continental Hotel, you have to trigger some additional random tasks.
In short, in the afternoon, Lin You honestly went to find Xu Chun, and continued to learn boxing and knives.
He now takes some time to practice almost every day.
——Sometimes I practice in reality, and sometimes I practice in the virtual world.
Anyway, since he made the decision, he has never missed his daily homework. From this point of view, Lin You is still ruthless towards himself.
It was just that in the process of practicing, there was one thing that made him feel a little regretful.
His favorite practice environment, of course, is the virtual world.
In the real world, after half an hour of high-intensity boxing practice, he would have to stick out his tongue, sweat profusely, feel sticky all over his body, and feel extremely uncomfortable.
But in the virtual world, not only will he not sweat, he can even directly eliminate fatigue. No matter how tired or hard he is training, he can return to full state with one click after training.
However, even if he can bring the experience of the virtual world to reality through the wireless headband and accelerate the training in reality, there is no way to bring the training traces and muscle memory on his body.
In other words, when he practiced boxing in reality, he gained a point for every point he practiced. Whether it was muscle strength or body flexibility, he would slowly improve.
But when practicing boxing in the virtual world, only routines, skills, and experience can be increased.
This determines that although he likes the ease of the virtual world, he has to spend a lot of time training in reality.
After all, the final confrontation still has to be carried out in reality.
So it is really a sweat, a harvest.
As for his specific gains since he started training for a week...
Familiar with two sets of basic boxing, a few basic moves of swinging a knife, plus the basic movements of practicing the stability of holding a gun.
Nothing else.
Lin You once asked that he hoped to conduct confrontation training earlier.
After all, his goal is not to become a peerless master. Even after realizing that he has no talent and that second-rate masters will have to work hard for several years or even ten years, he has already let go of his dream of martial arts in reality.
I plan to go to the game to experience the joy of heroes after the game is launched.
His purpose is to experience the most realistic confrontation and enrich Yunmeng's sensory database.
In order to make the combat system of future games more "real" and more exciting.
But the eleven masters including Xu Chun said: If you have no foundation at all, fighting against is just playing around, similar to swinging eight fists, and slashing with cold weapons is even more blind. Feel.
So Lin You could only be patient, and according to the plan they gave, calm down first, spend at least two months to build a reasonable foundation, and spend another month to practice the skills of confrontation.
Finally, with the help of various augmentation systems in the virtual world, you can experience the feeling of confrontation with some masters.
Only when you have a certain amount of confrontation experience and have a certain familiarity with these masters can you enter the final step: realistic confrontation.
——When the masters gave way to him.
Estimated time-consuming - 3 and a half months.
Even if it is a cramming-style single-item improvement, this is already a very, very exaggerated speed. It is only possible to achieve this step thanks to the dedicated teaching of eleven masters, coupled with the powerful help of the virtual world.
What else can Lin You say about this?
practice chant!

In the focused training, the time passed quickly, and it exceeded the off-duty time in a blink of an eye.
On Lin You's way home, the student party dismissed get out of class one after another, and the office workers went home from get off work. Night City will usher in a small wave of new troops.
Compared with the players who came in for the first time, although they have one less game time, they also have a big advantage: information advantage!
During class and work hours during the day, most of them saw the live games of many beta testers, and they already had a rough understanding of Night City.
After finishing dinner in a hurry, I immediately knew what to do as soon as I logged into the game.
Those who want to do quests go to pick up quests, those who want to drag racing go to drag racing, those who want to go to nightclubs go to nightclubs, and those who want to visit the Cowherd's shop go to the Cowherd's shop.
——Although in Ah Yi's place, the appearance of the duck shop caused him a lot of trauma, but in fact, this place is also a paradise for some players!
As for drag racing, Night City is not limited to the death race. There are more than a dozen relatively safe underground car races, with different locations, tracks, difficulties, and bonuses. The choice is very wide.
And most of them will be randomized to the player's opponent.
Ah Hao didn't meet him, purely because he was still in the closed beta, and there were too few players who had found the place.
As for Shui Hua, who ran all the way back after school, under the eyes of her mother who was about to roll to the sky, she quickly finished her meal without any ladylike appearance, put down her chopsticks and ran all the way back to the bedroom.
What she wants to play, she has already thought about it in school!
