Chapter 33 The Cunning Annan

Players open the "Forum" and see a LOGO that slowly jumps out.

【Frozen Water Port Conference Hall】

After the loading is complete, the swash text gradually fades away, and a very clean forum page is presented to the player.

There are only two posts, both of which were posted by the forum super administrator "Annan", and were pinned to the top and refined at the same time:

"What You Need to Know About the Misty Continent"

"General Regulations of the Frozen Port Council"

1. Post processing regulations:

1. Banned speech, divided into three days, one week, one month, no permanent ban.

2. Players cannot actively use the theme lock/delete function. If you want to use it, you need to x-on:Annan

...

Check out the forum rules.

After the players read it, they found that there was basically nothing to pay special attention to. Although this game looks very high-tech, the forum rules are not much different from other forums, except that watering, repeated posting, foul language, grave digging, advertising, and other remarks that violate local laws and regulations are prohibited.

The only thing that needs special attention is that there is no permanent ban on the forum... but the corresponding most severe punishment is changed to "severance".

The so-called severance is to delete the game "Misty Continent" and forbid to log in again.

In other words, players can warn newcomers like this in the future: "One more thing, your account is gone."

Another thing is that for security reasons, it is not recommended for players to publicize communication groups and organize offline activities in the forum. Once found, it will be blocked or deleted, but will not be silenced.

So the players couldn't wait to click on another post.

In this post, they can only see Annan's user profile picture.

It was a silhouette of Don Juan with his head down and concentrated on reading.

"...Is it Don Juan Geraint?"

Lin Yiyi let out a small yawn and tentatively wanted to download the picture - unfortunately it couldn't.

She snorted before continuing to look down.

One: Try to have a short and easy name. When addressing and introducing names to each other, they will not be translated into the world language, but will only be addressed by transliteration.

Two: Please treat the whole world as a real world, and don't try to develop and spread bugs of any kind.

three:……

This post is very brief compared to the other one. Mainly it's about what players can and can't do in-game...but basically there's not much nutrition either.

For example, "This game uses the Creation Engine, and 99% of the physical rules can be applied", "The internal beta version has an air wall, please don't try to leave the area of ​​the Northern Sea Territory", "In the future version, it will be open to the sky and the earth. Features and New Maps" and more.

Three points are more important.

The first point is that players must be careful in naming, changing jobs, and adding points, because there are currently no items to change names or wash points.

Although Lin Yiyi felt that it might be a bit late to put this sentence here. After all, if players want to see this forum, they must first create a good character... that is to say, they must add a good point and a good name.

Is this a warning to subsequent players?

Lin Yiyi also saw that it was mentioned in the post that the forty of them were all the first test players.

Because this game adopts a fully dynamic task distribution mechanism, the group of players in the second test must be different from their initial tasks. Because by then, the plot must have moved forward for a while. And all the missions that follow do not guarantee that the mission strategy will be effective.

Completing the mission itself will drastically change the personal story or the world story. So Annan made a special warning - please pay attention to the timeliness of the strategy.

The second point is that the copy mechanism of this game will contain elements of distortion, distortion, and psychological horror. and too many deaths in dungeons,

There may be irreversible consequences.

And if you have heart disease, high blood pressure, epilepsy, neurasthenia and other diseases...

...that's fine.

You can play to your heart's content without worrying.

By the way, when Annan was tinkering with the attributes of the players, he also discovered another thing:

It seems that he can really clear the erosion for the players.

He found the function of "zero erosion" in the management background interface of the player system. Although there is no limited adjustment, the player's erosion can be reset to zero with one click.

It's a pity that Annan can't reset his erosion level to zero at least temporarily...

But even if Annan can do it, it doesn't mean he has to do it.

If it is used as a function that already exists, players will be more careless when it comes to raiding dungeons. Moreover, it will be regarded as a job without any reward, distracting Annan's attention, and if Annan does not deal with it in time, it will also lead to condemnation.

However, if it is reversed there will be no problem.

Annan intends to put it in his prestige store, which has not yet been opened, as an extremely expensive special service option-requiring a lot of prestige in exchange for a "purification ceremony".

Let players get used to it from the very beginning, the copy has always been a difficult mechanism with high risk and high reward. Then players will see it as very hardcore. This way if someone is unhappy, the other players will fall back and attack him.

How to make players feel superior without knowing it is an esoteric knowledge.

After mastering this knowledge, you can flatter someone without a trace...or kill someone.

In this way, if there is really a player erosion too high and something goes wrong. Annan can even provide him with a credit service - deducting his future favorability in advance and purifying him first.

In this way, the purified players will be very grateful to Annan, and send out Teacher Fan's voice: "Thank you."

Obviously this is all one thing, and the work that Annan has to deal with is the same - who he will purify before, and who will he purify later. But he just took away what was originally available to everyone and sold it at a clear price, but instead it became an act of "generousness" that people would appreciate...

The art of manipulating the mind is so subtle that it can be called a spell.

And in this post, there is also the most important content that is marked in red for all players to notice:

"Please try to complete your role-playing, do what fits your status, and don't try to provoke or attack your own faction leaders. Because every faction leader also has the right to 'dismiss' players (see the General Chamber of Frozen Water Harbor). edition), although they themselves may not know they have this ability.

"After all faction leaders die, the game will be permanently closed."

The only current faction leader is Don Juan Geraint.

Frozen Water Harbor is also the only faction that players can currently choose from.

This means that Don Juan Geraint is the father of the players. Players must do everything in their power to keep him alive...

In fact, the setting of the faction leader is actually an escape route left by Annan for himself.

Only Annan knew that there was no such thing as a "camp leader" template in the original system. This is a kind of title that he specially set...

...for your own vest.

The identity of Don Juan Geraint may not last long. Once his identity is revealed, he may have to leave the frozen water port. So how does he guarantee control over the player?

That is to label the particularity of "Don Juan Geraint".

It is not for the players to obey the orders of "Don Juan Geraint" alone, but for them to obey and protect these "faction leaders".

Even if Annan changed his vest one day, he would still be able to control the player. He only needs to give his new identity the title of "Faction Leader", and he can directly inherit the business income of "Don Juan Geraint".

That is, players are responsible for playing the game.

Annan is in charge of playing these players.

This can probably be regarded as an asymmetrical confrontation game...

In order to keep quiet, players posted and chatted in the forum one after another. The external manifestation is that they followed Annan and walked slowly towards the frozen water port.

Annan left only two or three militiamen to protect himself. The rest were sent back by him to find someone to work.

They had to transport the captured black fire to the outside of the city-the location of Annan's ship. Dip the black fire in water and cover it with some leaves to at least prevent it from exploding in the sun.

Then, find someone to put out the fire.

Although Annan has largely suppressed the fire, his mana is also limited. This kind of work that ordinary people can do, there is no need to consume their mana to a dangerous value.

Anyway, the neighborhood is far away from the forest, and Annan has set up a fire isolation zone, so there is basically no need to worry about the forest fire. But just in case, it's better to find some people to see and put out the flames completely.

There's no harm in being cautious.

——Anyway, he doesn't need him to add to the night shift.

Likewise, Annan did not tell them that he could actually put out the flames. In this way, after the militiamen arrived, they found that the fire did not spread, but they would thank Annan for his pre-processing, so that the situation would not be the worst...

Just after Annan was forced to work overtime, now seeing others running around in a panic to work overtime in the middle of the night, a strong sense of joy suddenly filled his heart.

Add, you can add.

"I have to arrange accommodation for you."

Annan looked at the handsome guys and beauties around him, and he was in a good mood, and secretly praised his setting of "beauty only upwards".

Seeing that it was about to reach the Frozen Water Port, Annan happily asked Lin Yiyi who was closest to him:

"Do you have special needs, where do you want to live? Let me pay attention to you."

"...I want to ask, Master Don Juan, are you living alone now?"

Lin Yiyi was silent for a while, and asked faintly.
