Chapter 238 Anything that Is Unreasonable Must Have Deep Meaning
President Pei slightly changed the game content?
Li Yada was a little surprised.
In her impression, Mr. Pei seems to rarely make changes to the game content himself.
If you want to make changes, you usually have to talk to Lu Mingliang directly, and then Lu Mingliang will complete the specific changes.
But why did President Pei change it this time?
Do not trust me?
Li Yada thought about it, and there was no reason. If President Pei didn't trust me, how could it be possible for me to be the master planner?
With a little doubt, Li Yada returned to his workstation and looked at the changes to the game.
There aren't a lot of changes, but the main changes are focused on one weapon.
The Zen staff that was originally used to make up the number has an enhanced version with a glowing special effect. In addition, a special acquisition method has been made for this weapon.
Li Yada took a closer look at the weapon called "Purdue".
In terms of attributes, this is a weapon that is too strong in the early stage, and its damage is obviously supermodel.
However, the horizontal swing speed of normal attacks has not changed, and the forward and backward swings of the attack are very long, which is not easy to control.
Of course, when designing this weapon, like other two-handed heavy weapons, it has a jump cut setting, which can speed up the shot through some operations.
In other words, if a player who can play this game gets this weapon, it will definitely reduce the difficulty of early battles.
But at the same time, this weapon also has great limitations. Using it to play games other than the ending of the six reincarnations will not have obvious advantages over other weapons, and this weapon is basically useless by the second week. .
Li Yada was a little puzzled.
Why did President Pei deliberately make such a weapon?
Is it because President Pei can't beat him by himself, so he installed a back door for himself?
Uh, it doesn't make sense.
If President Pei thinks this game is too difficult, why not just lower the difficulty?
What's more, as a designer, President Pei doesn't need to clear the game.
Therefore, this possibility can be ruled out first, and it must be for other reasons.
Could it be that this move has another deep meaning?
Li Yada thought about it carefully. The current difficulty of the game is really too difficult for ordinary players. At the beginning of the game, if you touch the ordinary mobs twice, the players will be gone, which means that most players must work hard to be harmless.
Although blood-replenishing items will be available soon, compared to the amount of blood loss, blood-replenishing items still seem to be a drop in the bucket.
In the final analysis, it still has high requirements on the player's operation level.
So, is President Pei's weapon a rookie benefit? After letting the more proficient players get this weapon, at least they can clear the game and get through one of the endings?
Or, is this a manifestation of President Pei's kindness?
It should be possible.
Then...why hid it so deeply?
Li Yada noticed that the attributes of the old monk who would drop the Zen staff were slashed by President Pei, and he was already inferior to the mobs.
And its location is around the town. Most of the players who can hit it here have suffered a lot and killed a lot of monsters, and there is no reason they can't beat it.
Even if you accidentally roll over, you can't roll over six times in a row, right?
It's hard to think of what kind of player would die at the hands of this old monk six times unless it was sent on purpose.
Moreover, killing this old monk can get ordinary Zen staff and rosary beads, and the rewards of collecting weapons + powerful consumption items in the early stage are irrefutable for most players.
In short, the weapon "Purdue" is buried too deep, and I am afraid that 99.99% of players will not be able to trigger it!
If it is said that this weapon is an expression of kindness by President Pei to some players, why should it be hidden in such a place that most players cannot find it?
Li Yada fell into deep thought.
According to Bao Xu's predecessors, everything that is unreasonable must have deep meaning.
Now, the setting of this weapon is very unreasonable!
"Why did it die six times, and it was the seventh time that this old monk became an NPC that can communicate and interact?"
"What does this number mean?"
Li Yada searched thousands of degrees and found some information.
Although many statements are not uniform, it is difficult for Li Yada to determine which statement President Pei used, but it is still possible to roughly see the meaning of this number.
Of course, Li Yada doesn't understand Buddhism, Qiandu doesn't understand it, and the players don't understand either. Some specific meanings must be understood in a relatively shallow way, which is easier for players to accept.
Both "seven" and "nine" are relatively important numbers in Buddhism. For example, the saying of "nine-pin lotus platform" indicates that "nine" symbolizes the Great Perfection.
The meaning of "seven" is more, it also represents perfection, but there are also sayings that "seven" represents the small perfection.
In addition, it is said that when the Buddha was born, he would walk as soon as he landed, taking seven steps. The first six steps represent the six paths, while the seventh step represents enlightenment, so "seven" is also used to express transcendence.
"Die seven times, can it mean Consummation? It shouldn't mean that."
"Strictly speaking, it should have died six times."
"Then... should the first six times of death represent the six reincarnations, and the seventh time represent enlightenment?"
"So, the weapon you got can only be used to get through the ending of the six reincarnations?"
Li Yada synthesized the previous speculation and believed that this should be the most reasonable inference.
Dying six times represents the six reincarnations, which means that the six reincarnations have been opened for the player in advance. The seventh time I saw this old monk get "Purdu", he officially embarked on this ending route.
Not only can you jump directly from Huangquan Road to the Six Paths of Samsara to challenge the boss, but the weapons are also specially built for this ending.
It is conceivable that players should have two reactions.
The first is that after getting "Purdue", I am reluctant to think about it. I only know that I rely on the high damage of this weapon to carry out some less intense battles, and happily get through the six reincarnation endings.
The second is to be willing to give up the weapon of "Purdue" and use your own strength to fight other true endings.
Considering the original setting, the ending of Six Paths of Reincarnation is a false ending. The protagonist thinks that he has escaped from this desperate world, but in fact he has just entered the same reincarnation again.
And using "Purdue" to get through this ending will be even more ironic!
Players who choose "Purdue" represent choosing an escape mentality, daring not to face more arduous challenges, but just to protect themselves.
Give up "Purdue", pick up ordinary weapons, face stronger enemies and meet more difficult challenges, in order to truly escape from the sea of misery!
Thinking of this, Li Yada was about to be amazed.
Thinking about it now, although the original setting is not bad, it still lacks a little depth after all.
According to the original setting, this broken temple and the old monk are nothing more than an addition. Whether they fight or not, it will not affect the following content.
And the ending of Six Paths of Reincarnation, the game experience is not much different from other endings.
But after Mr. Pei made these changes, everything changed.
The addition of the supermodel weapon "Purdue" directly puts a dilemma in front of all players: whether to stay in the comfort zone and deceive themselves with a fake ending; or to go out of the comfort zone and find the world while suffering. the truth?
This approach allows players to have a deeper understanding of different endings, and also gains a stronger sense of substitution and immersion!
