Chapter 1714 Update Announcement (Please Ask for Another Subscription)

"This may be because the time has not come yet, so you have not heard about the specific situation of the Nine-Color Crystal. However, Liu Qindong has already changed his account, and finally found the whereabouts of the Nine-Color Crystal. It seems that this task is directly It is bound to Liu Qindong."

As soon as Liu Xing finished speaking, Mobius continued: "No, the information about the nine-color crystal should be related to a stall book called "Unsolved Miscellany"! Because this is the first time I heard about the nine-color crystal. I saw it in this book. I was shopping in the night market with other people, and suddenly I saw a person selling this kind of crude magazine. The title of the book was basically So-and-so's Miscellany and So-and-so's Unsolved Mystery; at that time, Liu Qindong and Several other players were participating in a module, but at that time they had to wait a few days before progressing to the next plot, so they bought a few magazines when they had nothing to do, because although this kind of street stall book has many disadvantages, But it’s enough to pass the time.”

"It turned out that the book "Unsolved Miscellaneous Talks" that Liu Qindong was assigned mentioned nine-color crystals, but the general content should be that if the nine-color crystals can be collected and made into a set of jewelry, they can bring benefits to the wearer. Lucky, and let’s take a king I’ve never heard of as an example; except for the nine-color crystal, the other contents of this magazine are anecdotes copied from the Internet, or UFO and water monster incidents. Yes, but the final article is very interesting. It seems to mention Glaaki, the King of the Lake! Because the author mentioned that the Loch Ness Monster, the Sky Monster and other famous water monsters all over the world are actually the same one."

"Huh? This is a bit interesting. Under normal circumstances, no matter how big the author's imagination is, he would not have thought that two water monsters separated by half the world would be the same one, unless he believed that there are a large number of water monsters between the earth. Connecting channels allow water monsters to travel to the other end of the earth along these channels! Moreover, as long as you read the news about these famous water monsters, you can find that in addition to the basic plesiosaur shapes, these water monsters also have other shapes such as big fish. The shape is different, so it doesn’t look like the same water monster." Liu Xing said with a smile.

"But the problem is that the author's conjecture is correct, because in the parallel world based on the Cthulhu mythology, 80% of all kinds of lake monsters are faked by locals to attract tourists. The possibility is Glaki! After all, this guy has a passive skill - he can appear in any lake on the earth. That's why Liu Qindong and I still remember this magazine and the Nine Color Crystal by the way. It exists, but it’s just that street vendors like this do not know which small workshop they were printed in, not to mention that the articles have no author’s signature at all.”

"That's true. I remember that when I was studying, there was a second-hand bookstore at the school gate. Books from street stalls like this basically cost one yuan each, and some famous magazines only cost about two yuan, so there were no smart phones at that time. When I had a computer, I liked to buy used books like this and read them in school; and even though my home already had a computer at that time, my family didn’t care much about me. As long as my academic performance didn’t drop too much, or I stayed up all night playing games or something, that was fine. But at that time, as long as I could turn on the computer, I would probably play various games, or watch the latest anime movies, etc. Then I would check various information on the computer when I had time."

"So the various mysteries of UFOs and unidentified creatures mentioned on the covers of these street stall books made me feel very fresh, so I would buy such a local stall book every now and then. However, I later found that the content of this kind of street stall book was repetitive. The rate was very high, so I turned around and bought "Story Club" or something like that; but now that I think about it carefully, these stall books are indeed not signed by the publisher or author. It seems that they are scraped from the Internet and then typeset them casually. It was printed after that, but it is also the memory of the young people of our generation, so it is normal for Liu Qindong and others to buy it."

Liu Xing said with some emotion: "I still remember that I used to like to put these extracurricular books under the textbooks and peek at them, and then put them in the pile of books after class. As a result, one of my classmates accidentally knocked them out during class one day. I had a few books, and then an extracurricular book in the middle appeared at the top, and was looked at by the teacher on the podium; but then again, I remember that food was mentioned in the extracurricular books I had read before. Ghouls, deep divers, and mythical creatures like Byakhi are just other names, so the layout of the Cthulhu Run game lobby had already begun at that time."

"Well, I think it's normal to have content about these mythical creatures, or the ones mentioned in these stall books are not those mythical creatures, because mythical creatures like ghouls and deep divers are found all over the world. There are relevant records in folklore.”

Mobius continued: "But I suspect that Liu Qindong, who changed his character card, may have heard about the Nine-Color Crystal through other means, and then thought of this local stall book, so he went specifically to look for this kind of stall book. , and finally he found it, so Liu Qindong relied on this book to start the plot line of Nine Color Crystal! Of course, I also heard that there might be a book on the street stall in the Cthulhu Running Game Hall. All kinds of information, because the essence of the Cthulhu Run Game Hall is still a game composed of various data and codes, so some bugs may appear."

"Bug? I've heard of this, but it's quite normal. After all, the Cthulhu Run Game Hall has created so many parallel worlds. It would be strange if there weren't some bugs." Liu Xing said with certainty.

"Yes, the reason why I was able to escape from the Cthulhu Run Game Hall to the real world was probably because there was a bug in the Cthulhu Run Game Hall while advancing the plot, or a memory overflow or something like that. The situation caused flaws in the originally monolithic parallel world; as for the special information that appeared in the street books, I suspect that there was a problem with a certain code in the Cthulhu Run game lobby, which caused these to appear in the magic book. The contents of the book appeared in these stall books.”

Mobius analyzed it very seriously: "Then, the Cthulhu Run Game Hall is too lazy to modify this piece of code, because these stall books are generally not discernible to players, and most of the time these stall books are just They are sold in used bookstores or street stalls in some small cities, so it is difficult for players to access these street stalls. As for those NPCs, they are not considered in the Cthulhu Run game hall, because the Cthulhu Run game There are ten thousand ways to deal with these NPCs in the lobby."

"What you said seems to make sense, but there is also a possibility that the Cthulhu Run Game Hall did it intentionally, and its purpose of doing this is to wait for a destined person, or to make players think that this is A bug, and then I searched everywhere for the same type of street stall books! Take the local stall book that Liu Qindong read as an example. It can be said that there is no really useful content at all! The first thing is about the existence of Glaki. I believe it will be helpful to Kesu Anyone with a certain knowledge of the Mythology of Lu or the Cthulhu Run game knows that Glaaki can appear in lakes all over the world, not to mention the players in the Cthulhu Run game lobby who have seen this local book."

"Then there is this nine-color crystal. After reading the whole article, you can only know that there is such a thing, and when you don't know the existence of the nine-color crystal, you will regard this article as some folklore; even if you already Knowing the existence of the nine-color crystal, we can't find more useful information from this article, so this rounding is equivalent to knowing nothing! Therefore, we must suspect that the Cthulhu Running Group Game Hall is playing tricks. Or is announcing the existence of these important props in advance equivalent to a very secret update announcement?"

"Oh, I think it makes sense to hear what you said, Liu Xing. I remember a few years ago, didn't we require major game companies to announce the various probabilities for drawing cards out of boxes? To ensure that players can be sure that they will probably How many resources can you spend to get the props you want? As a result, some game companies have begun to make adjustments, such as putting a question mark in the lower left corner of the preview image of the card drawing interface. Only when you click on the question mark can you see the specific probability, or when updating Announce a certain picture with small fonts to mark the probability; of course this is much better than announcing some false probabilities. I remember a game that announced false probabilities. As a result, the wealthy players directly used a bunch of numbers to do experiments to verify that the probability was Fake." Mobius said with a smile.

Just as Liu Xing was about to laugh a few times, he suddenly remembered that Ao Guanhai had told him that the Cthulhu Running Group game hall was indeed designed according to the game, and company shareholders like them could not directly interfere with the Cthulhu Running Group game hall. To operate normally, you must also abide by the various regulations of the Cthulhu Run Game Hall.

So now the question comes. A normal multiplayer online game will definitely be updated frequently, because the game must constantly introduce new ones to bring players a better gaming experience, so as to retain active players; so after experiencing Players who experienced the boom of online games more than ten years ago should know that many popular online games have lost a large number of players due to version updates. The most common one is that due to the need to update content on time, there is no time to polish the plot copies. Or the values ​​of equipment props are unreasonable.

"God of War" is a good example. The plot in the early stage was very attractive to players, but in the later stage, the time interval between updates became shorter and shorter, which caused the plot to become more and more stretched, and finally collapsed completely.

Of course, the Cthulhu Running Game Hall has never worried about the loss of players, because the players hope that this game will prosper more than the Cthulhu Running Game Hall and will never stop serving. . . If stopping the server can allow all players to automatically unbind, then players should still hope that the Cthulhu Run Game Hall will close down as soon as possible.

However, Liu Xing has also seen the update announcement of the Cthulhu Running Game Hall, and also heard that several important versions were updated before he entered the Cthulhu Running Game Hall, but overall, the Cthulhu Running Game The update speed of the lobby is very slow, and it never mentions what specific updates it has. . . In addition to the announcement about the launch of limited-time gift packs in the mall.

So according to Mobius, the Cthulhu Running Game Hall should be supposed to introduce to players what updates it has made. After all, although the Cthulhu Running Game Hall is not a human being in the game, it is in the game. There is also some human touch.

Therefore, Liu Xing was a little suspicious that the real update announcement in the Cthulhu Running Group game hall was actually placed on those stall books by "people" such as Ao Guanhai, so that Ao Guanhai and the others would comply with the regulations in the Cthulhu Running Group. The game lobby requires announcements when updating, but the introduction of these updates is placed in stall books that most players will not pay attention to, and even if some players see these stall books, they think this is Some ordinary folklore or strange stories, in short, the kind that are forgotten after reading them.

In this way, Ao Guan Hai and their purpose will be achieved.

So why do Aoguanhai do this?

That is to control important props such as the nine-color crystal and its supporting plot modules in your own hands!

Take the Nine-Color Crystal as an example. If the Cthulhu Game Hall mentions the Nine-Color Crystal in a certain update announcement and states that the Nine-Color Crystal has been installed in a parallel world, then even if it only mentions the Nine-Color Crystal When it comes to these four words of Nine Color Crystal, players in that parallel world will also look for various crystals around them when they have time to try to open the plot line of Nine Color Crystal.

In this way, no one knows how many players will start the plot line of Nine Color Crystal, and the influx of a large number of players into the plot line of Nine Color Crystal will cause the next modules to evolve into confrontation modules. There are several camps. In short, the nine-color crystals may never be collected together in the end, or a large number of players must be sacrificed to reunite the nine-color crystals!

The most important thing is that it is difficult for experienced players in the Cthulhu Running Group game lobby to get a qualitative improvement. The battles between each other are pure luck games, so novice players in the Ghoul area want to overturn the Cthulhu area. It's not impossible to become a boss player, and it's not difficult either!

Therefore, who knows which player the nine-color crystal will fall into at that time!

Therefore, "people" such as Ao Guanhai put the important contents of these update announcements in street books in order to circumvent the rules of the Cthulhu Running Team game lobby, so that they can selectively tell these contents to a certain player. , so that only these selected players can open the corresponding module!

As for the occasional player who stumbles into the mod, that doesn't matter.
