Chapter 2701

For example, ban the magic card?

"Hmm..."

After thinking carefully, Dak felt that this was very feasible.

Banning the use of magic cards in the secret room level is the key to improving the fun and puzzle-solving.

Of course, after cracking the level, you can still use magic cards to kill the treasure chest ghosts.

Thinking of this, Dak soon had a specific idea.

Temporary banning of magic cards is indeed a key idea, but if you only rely on your brain to solve the puzzle, the design of the level will be limited.

Therefore, he decided to design a batch of prop cards that can be used in the secret room level while banning magic cards, and then guide students to use special prop cards to solve puzzles and pass the level.

In this way, the sense of disobedience can be eliminated by designing the pass props into a style that conforms to the theme of Halloween or masquerade.

"Well, first, the [Pumpkin Bomb]!"

"Using the [Pumpkin Bomb], you can blow up some obstacles, generate impact force, and blow up objects such as blocks."

"Then there is the [Ghost Hand]."

"Using the [Ghost Hand], you can grab special spirits or certain objects made of spirit materials."

"Another [Vampire Cloak]."

"Using the [Vampire Cloak], you can gain a short-term floating ability when jumping from a high place. One card can be used ten times."

...

Based on the existing knowledge in his mind, and then slightly re-skinned.

Dak quickly drafted a variety of prop cards with special functions.

These prop cards are of general type, and most of them can only be used once.

By killing ordinary ghosts in the castle, prop cards can be dropped.

In addition, he also designed a [Key Card] specifically for finding and opening secret rooms.

[Key Card] can also only be used once, and each [Key Card] is numbered [aabbb].

[aa] is the floor, and [bbb] is the serial number.

For example, the first secret room on the first floor is [01001].

The shape of the [key card] can be designed into various ghosts and elves.

Students can find the secret room hidden in the castle under the guidance of the elves.

Then he continued to design prop cards.

In addition to [Pumpkin Bomb], [Ghost Hand], [Vampire Cloak], there are [Elf Bow], [Eye of Medusa], [Titan Grip], [Weird Ice Tool], [Mummy Bandage], [Witch Candy], [Ghoul Mask] and other props.

[Elf Bow] is divided into [Elf Bow], [Fire Elf Bow] and [Ice Elf Bow].

[Fire Elf Bow] can shoot rockets and ignite combustibles.

[Ice Elf Bow] can shoot ice arrows and freeze objects.

Each [Elf Bow] is equipped with ten arrows.

[Eye of Medusa] can stop the movement of certain objects, causing an effect like time stopping, which lasts for ten seconds.

During these ten seconds, hit the stationary object multiple times. When the stationary state ends, the object will fly out in different directions according to the strength and angle of the hit.

[Titan's Grip] is a glove. After wearing [Titan's Grip], the arm can be transformed into a giant's hand with hard skin, which lasts for one minute.

[Monster Ice] is a jet prop equipped with cold air, which can produce an icicle on the water surface. The icicle lasts for 30 seconds. A [Monster Ice] can produce a total of three icicles.

[Mummy Bandage] can forcibly bind two or more objects together and can be used until a roll of bandage is used up.

[Witch Candy] also has various varieties. Blue candy can dive, red candy can resist fire and cold, green candy can control plants, white candy can be invisible, black candy can turn into steel skin... and so on.

[Ghoul Mask] After wearing it, it can be regarded as the same kind by ghosts and monsters, which lasts for one minute.

…

“The key to level design is the diversity of solutions. Don’t stick to fixed solutions.”

“The same level can be solved using different solutions or different prop cards.”

“If you want to re-attack a level, you must obtain the [Key Card] of the corresponding level.”

“In this way, students who fail to attack once can exchange with students who have multiple [Key Cards] of the level.”

“Similarly, the remaining [Prop Cards] can also be exchanged with [Prop Cards], but it must be stipulated that they can only be exchanged one for one.”

“In the past Halloween activities, socialization was reduced in order to compete for credits, and there was almost no communication between students.”

“For this year’s Halloween activities, I hope to see a group of students gathered together to discuss the strategy of the secret room level.”

Dax’s thoughts flowed like a spring, and his writing was like the wind. His mind became more and more active and energetic.

This process of designing activities was unexpectedly addictive.

But at two o’clock in the morning, he forced himself to put down his pen temporarily and go to bed.

After all, tomorrow is Wednesday, and the first class is Professor Bode’s magic language class.

...

Dake slept until 7:30. It took him only half an hour to wash, eat breakfast, glance at the newspaper, and rush to the classroom.

When he arrived at the magic language class, Professor Holder Bode hadn't entered yet. The classroom was full of a cheerful atmosphere.

This year's Halloween happened to be on Sunday, and the masquerade was on Saturday night.

They had enough time to go to Traveler Street to buy all kinds of costume props, or directly buy a dress-up card.

After two consecutive days of study and life, the third-year students became active again, and their minds were full of Halloween.

Dak had also had such a period. If he had not been given the responsibility of event planning, he should be thinking about what role he should play in the masquerade.

However, after becoming the person in charge of the masquerade, he no longer had to worry about the choice of role playing.

He listened patiently to the conversation of his classmates and gathered inspiration from their words.

Diana and Rose turned around to ask

about his costume at the masquerade. Dak blinked and teased: "I'm going to play the professor."

"Hey, professor?" Diana was surprised and confused.

Rose quickly said: "Then I'm going to play the bad student."

Dak smiled and said: "Just kidding, my position this year is professor... um... professor?"

Speaking of professor, Dak's mind suddenly had inspiration again.

He immediately took out his notebook and buried his head in writing.

"Halloween should not be a festival for students only, professors should also participate in it."

"In the past, Halloween activities were not suitable for professors to participate, but this year's secret room level prohibits magic cards, so even if professors participate, they may not necessarily have an advantage."

"But professors cannot compete with students on the same level."

"They are not allowed to kill ghosts, so they cannot obtain [prop cards] and [key cards] from it."

"If you want professors to participate, you have to give them a new, appropriate identity."

"Let me think about it, for Halloween... candy merchants?"

"Right, duel!"

"Got it!"

Dark's mind moved and he had an idea.

Since professors cannot obtain [prop cards] and [key cards] by killing ghosts like students, then give them an identity that can obtain [prop cards] and [key cards].

In the masquerade, they deliberately played the role of [candy merchants], running around the castle with backpacks full of candy, and appearing randomly anywhere.

Once students meet the [Candy Merchant], they can duel with him to get credits.

If the duel fails, they have to pay one to five prop cards.

Betting more prop cards can get more credits at a time.

After obtaining the prop card or key card, the [Candy Merchant] can also open the secret room, attack the hanging card, and get on the list of points, but cannot open the clearance treasure chest.

As for the hidden treasure chest, it is first come first served.

In addition, professors can only use a fixed set of cards that matches the grade of the student when dueling with students.

Dak is not going to make more restrictions on the [Candy Merchant] in terms of rules.

If the [Candy Merchant] wants to, he can also chase the students to duel.

In this way, this year's masquerade will be more intense.

…

"So, professors who want to be [Candy Merchants] can sign up from today."

At noon, Dak waited for Professor Mitia in his office and discussed the specific rules with him.

Professor Medea was originally uninterested, but when he heard about the "Candy Merchant", he immediately became excited.

Although it was also interesting to eat melon seeds and watch the students running around in the castle behind the surveillance.

But how could it be more interesting than participating in the masquerade in person?

Of course, there are also people like Dak who think it is more interesting to watch the fun.

He sorted out his notes and handed over the prop design drawings and some of the secret room level design drawings to Professor Medea.

He was responsible for the prop design and level design, but the production of these prop cards and the production of the secret room level needed to be arranged by Professor Medea.

In addition, the distribution of the secret room level and the hidden location of each secret room level also needed to be considered by Professor Medea.

As for the rest of the ghost design and boss design, etc., they will continue to be used, with only micro-innovations.

And this part of the disposable magic guide card, in fact, has been prepared long ago, and does not need to be remade.

When Professor Medea left the office with the design drawings, Dak continued to reproduce the secret room level design in his mind.

Of course, he did not copy it completely. He also adjusted the levels by combining the culture of this world and the design of the prop cards.

But this is secondary creation standing on the shoulders of giants after all. He used magic to activate his thinking and quickly produced drawings, as if it was a high-speed mechanical engraving.

If anyone saw this scene, they would be amazed.

Hundreds of design drawings were easily completed in just one afternoon, and most of them were high-quality levels. Among them, a small number of levels were extremely difficult, and the points obtained after passing the levels would also be very rich.

…

After dinner.

Dak also handed the remaining secret room level design drawings to Professor Medea, asking her to tell him if it was not enough.

After this afternoon, Professor Medea also compiled a list of professors who were willing to participate in the masquerade.

When Dak got the list, he saw the name of Professor Lily Laplace at first glance, and couldn't help but frown, with an ominous premonition.

Except for Professor Lily, most of the professors on the list are old professors who participated in the summer camp.

Among them, of course, there was Professor Gatling, the developer of the magic cannon technology.

Fortunately, except for Professor Lily, none of the deans of the branch schools attended.

Dak checked carefully and found that Principal Arte's name was not on the list, so he was finally relieved.

But he quickly reacted.

Even if there was only Professor Lily, it would be enough to give people a headache.

He was really afraid that Professor Lily would play the role of the "Candy Merchant" and chase the students in the castle in a panic with a strange laugh.

"No matter, I have completed 99% of my mission. Even if there is a problem with the remaining 1%, it can't be all my responsibility."

Dak spread his hands and decided to give up thinking.
