Chapter 354 Connecting Metropolis and Night City
Although he handed over the task to Fan Rui, Lin You was not completely relieved.
If Qin Songyun is given the task, then after Lin You embeds a dynamic grading system into Night City, he will happily fish for it.
But now it's Fan Rui...
As a result, in the next day and a half, apart from practicing boxing, Lin You would cast his gaze over from time to time to see what Fan Rui had changed.
——No way, he has to be careful, lest Fan Rui get too excited and confiscate him too much.
Lin You is actually a conservative when it comes to being awkward in games.
He has been very careful about the content of this aspect.
——This time it was done like this, it is really Fan Rui + City of Sin, these two keywords met together and produced a chemical reaction.
But even so, under Lin You's intervention, all the custom shops are at best marginal, and there is no place that really crosses the line.
Don't talk about "this series", it is impossible for all NPCs to appear.
——Not only the custom shop, but also the whole game has no full-fruit NPCs.
The largest ones are two clubs with striptease performances.
One man and one woman, two performers, extremely fair, and players are not allowed to get too close to the stage.
And it was only after loading the dynamic grading system that Fan Rui took off the tops of the NPC in the 18+ version.
As for 17+?
Look at the nipple stickers!
This scale is much more disciplined than most 17+ movies!
These netizens just know how to let go of the scale, but don't even think about it——
If you really let go, while you are feasting your eyes, your future and even your current girlfriend will also be feasting your eyes!
Before falling in love in the future, do you have to sign a "Virtual World Non-Interference Agreement" first?
Or, why don't we just stop dating in the future and live our own lives?
Think about it, there are a bunch of ethical and moral issues.
Lin You's solution to this is: don't touch it at all, and put the problem on hold.
When the virtual world is large enough in the future, there will naturally be enough sociology experts and scholars to take the initiative to discuss and help him think about these issues.
Before that, let's brush aside the edges a little bit, give players some benefits, and let it be entertainment.

On Thursday, after the game was packaged and submitted for review again, Lin You finally breathed a sigh of relief, and began to think about a previous idea again——
After "John Wick" is released, should it be directly embedded on the side of the [Metropolis·Public Edition], so that the two cities can be connected?
In fact, because of the same all-age rating, the current "Paradise" has already been embedded with the public version of Metropolis.
Players can walk to the entrance of the amusement park when they are shopping in the metropolis, and walk into the world of "Paradise".
In the personal version of Metropolis, you still need to buy a ticket to enter the amusement park, which is still the same as before, but in the public version of Metropolis, you no longer need to buy a ticket.
After all, "Paradise" itself is a free game.
Now that "John Wick" is on sale, it is completely possible to embed Night City directly, and then add a circular extension system to process the edge of the map to filter players on the Red Gate Bridge.
Players who bought "John Wick" can directly drive into Night City.
Players who haven't bought it will continue to drive on the infinitely extending road of the Red Gate Bridge.
This is technically possible.
With the dynamic grading system, there are no more obstacles in the review system.
The only question that makes Lin You hesitate is: Do you want to do this?
This looks really cool, but the problem is also obvious: the 500 yuan price of "Quick Chase" will become a barrier to entry.
You can get in if you pay, and you can't get in if you don't.
At the moment, this is not a problem.
At least for now, more than 99% of players who have access to the public map of the metropolis will buy "Wick Hunt".
——When there was no dynamic grading system, Lin You didn't dare to make such a guarantee. After all, some players are really one year younger...
But next week, the permanent residents of the metropolis will double again, reaching 30,000, and it is very likely that there will be players who do not intend to buy "John Wick".
And as time goes by, there will be more and more players like this.
In the end, the nature of the 500 yuan may even change from "buying a game" to "a ticket to enter Night City".
"No!" Lin You suddenly patted his forehead forcefully, "You're being stupid again!"
With his and Xiaomeng's technical capabilities, there is a better solution:
First connect the two cities together, and players who bought the game can directly enter their own personal Night City world.
Players who haven't bought the game are still temporarily unable to enter, but they can be shown a month-long [Night City opening countdown].
During the countdown, refer to the Metropolis public version to make a Night City map dedicated to shopping and tourism.
When the countdown reaches zero, it will be fully open to players.
At that time, players can directly enter the public version of Night City with no missions, no drag racing, and no battles. They can enjoy the scenery, go shopping, and visit the characteristic industries of Night City.
Isn't this the best of both worlds?
The territory of the virtual world has expanded, and players have an extra cool way to enter Night City.
Even players who haven't bought the game will be able to prostitute a virtual city for nothing after a month.
As for the one-month prohibition period, it is not only used to make the public version of the map-it just removes some content, and it can be done in two or three days.
The real effect is actually - to prevent players who buy the game from losing their mentality and feel that they are being taken advantage of.
Money always comes with some special treatment.
——Of course, the special treatment is not only the sequence of time, but also the difference in consumption.
In Lin You's design, the currencies of Night City and Metropolis are not universal.
He hasn't thought of a good way to design a common currency in the virtual world, and this matter is too important to be casual, so he would rather put it aside for the time being.
This will lead to, in his design, players who have not bought "John Wick" can only rely on Lin Youfa's "subsistence allowances" for consumption after entering Night City. unlikely.
With the idea set, Lin You stood up and prepared to work. Connecting two virtual worlds is not that simple.
For this reason, Lin You intends to use his strongest technique——
"Xiaomeng come to help"
"Xiaomeng is here" Xiaomeng's voice was full of vitality as always.

When Lin You was preparing for the launch of "John Wick", the players were also preparing.
After all, it is already Thursday afternoon, and the game will be officially launched at 10:00 tomorrow morning.
Players who have followed Super Tomato for four years can't wait!
Of course, for most players, the preparation they can do now is to visit the game forums more, look at the tasks and random events that have been summarized so far, and find ways to upgrade, make money, and adjust weapons in the early stage.
In addition, that is to go to bed early at night, prepare instant noodles when you get up early the next day, or prepare lunch and dinner in advance.
If there are wives, husbands, boyfriends and girlfriends, they should be appeased in advance.
——If it happens that your significant other has the same interests as you and also likes to play games, that is of course a different matter.
In addition to ordinary players, there are of course some not-so-ordinary players, and their preparations are special.
For example, Super Tomato is still seriously studying the skills of playing cards.
In the past few days, he didn't do anything else, and the video was off. He played poker live in the metropolis every day.
Even not only playing by himself, but also pulling other up masters to play together, which led to the phenomenon of multiple up masters collectively dragging pigeon videos.
The last time Xia Yi was with Splash in the casino, she tried to use the traditional "peeking at the cards" technique to get out, although she was finally discovered by the casino waiter, and her chips were confiscated and thrown out.
But before they were discovered, they had already won five hands!
This fully proves that tricks are completely feasible!
For this reason, Xia Yi teamed up with Xiao Mei and a few water friends in the live broadcast room. In her metropolitan real estate, she used a few cards bought at a convenience store to study how to send signals to her teammates at the gaming table without a trace. .
Xia Yi regrets that Shui Hua has to attend class and cannot practice together.
Splash also felt that it was a pity. She felt a very special joy in winning by cheating under the noses of the casino.
Of course, what she regrets even more is that when everyone enters the game tomorrow, she will have to sit in the classroom and review.
This means that after the game is released tomorrow, the splash who loves surfing the Internet has to completely isolate himself from the Internet.
Otherwise, it will definitely be spoiled before school is over.
That experience was too bad!
In fact, this is also the choice of many players who don't like spoilers-isolate from social networks.
Of course, those who plan to cut off from social networks are all players who are not cruel enough, and those who are cruel enough have already asked for sick leave.
In addition to these people, there is another group of people whose situation is even more tormented——
Tomorrow there will be several groups of contestants in the "League of Assassins" group match.
Fortunately for professional players, they are professional and can completely restrain their desire for new games.
There are even some professional players who have no desire for new games at all. They just regard playing games as a job.
But for non-professional players, it is very tormented!
Although the game didn't start until 6 pm, it was an offline game, so we had to arrive early in the afternoon.
And to be honest, the game is going to be played at night, and the game will be played under the watchful eyes of countless spectators. Can you really play a new game in the morning calmly?
At least Kryptonian player Zhuifeng regretted entering the group stage for the first time...
Especially after entering the group stage, now that they have been suffering consecutive losses.
They have already become the last number one in their group...
Chasing the wind, as the shortest board in the team, will always be used by the opponent as a breakthrough point in the game. Even if the teammates try to use it as a bait, it is useless to trick the opponent-the combat effectiveness is too poor.
To put it bluntly, Zhuifeng is the one with the lowest "role strength" among all the players participating in the group stage.
In the game, character strength * player ability = actual combat power.
As for Zhuifeng, regardless of character strength or personal ability, it is okay compared with ordinary players, but compared with players on the field, it is really a bit of a dish.
He has only one feeling - the game experience is extremely bad!
He also had to accept a reality: in the arena, the power of money has limits.
——Of course, it may also be that he doesn't have enough money...
Chasing the wind is very sure that it is no longer possible to qualify for the group stage. By the end of this week, they will definitely be eliminated.
He really wanted to play a new game straight away, but getting along with his teammates for such a long time and playing together, he was more or less emotional.
Seeing Cang Niao and other four teammates working hard to study their opponents, and not intending to give up at all, he couldn't bear it...
"Oh, what a crime—" Zhuifeng sighed, "Why doesn't Yunmeng go on sale today or on Saturday?"
After sighing, he still joined his teammates to study the opponent together and prepare for tomorrow's game.
Some people persist, and naturally some people will show up badly.
Coincidentally, Zhuifeng's team's opponent - the non-professional team that was second to last in the same group and destined to be eliminated, has already soaked in the game forums, preparing for the new game.
If the preparation is sufficient and the luck is not too bad, then in tomorrow's match, the team of Zhuifeng and Cangniao is likely to usher in their only victory in the group stage on the eve of the end of the offline match!
It's just that right now, they still don't know anything about it, and they are still making preparations for the battle that is almost doomed to lose in their hearts.
