Chapter 534: The Action Begins

Ten days passed in a flash, and it has been more than a month since the opening of version 2.0.

The overall situation is good, the number of refugees who have been sheltered continues to rise, and the raging beast herds have been killed one after another. Players have integrated into the new version, running around, contributing to the overall progress of the main task. In addition to disaster relief, A competition is secretly staged.

These days, Nagokin's policy has achieved results. As the saying goes, strong women are afraid of being entangled. Under the persistent propaganda work of Gedora's propagandists, players joined the Gedora camp with the mentality of trying. Han Xiao was not surprised. It is the player's nature to try different possibilities, not to mention that the two camps at this time do not conflict with each other.

The image of Gedora in the hearts of players is very weak. After all, this is the first time I have personally contacted the faction. It does not seem like Han Xiao is an old friend. However, although Gedora is not as good as the Black Star Mercenary Group, the benefits are also Yes, the technological products on the magic side are indeed attractive.

Nagokin is quite satisfied with the progress of the recruitment, and Black Star has no intention of intervening.

However, just when he was happy, a video quietly appeared on the player forum, causing an uproar.

After ten days, Roubao released a new video. He now has a large number of fans, and the video has attracted a large number of players to watch. However, the latest video is not a sequel to the Black Star series, but a side story. article, titled "Aquamarine: The Old Times"

"It's not the Black Star series, tsk, disappointed."

"Extra story? Interesting, I don't know what it is."

"International practice, blow the roots before watching."

After making complaints about it, the player opened the video, full of anticipation. Although most fans wanted to beat Roubao to death, the video quality of Roubao has always been very good. It mainly focuses on joy and humor, and they can basically have a good time.

As soon as the video started, it didn’t have the customary opening remarks of meat buns, but went directly to the content. It was extraordinary at the beginning. The nuclear bomb rain fell from the sky, hit the earth, and a huge mushroom cloud rose. Everything was silent until the explosion After that, the background music played slowly, as if pulling the audience into the picture at once.

Most people are familiar with this video. It is the video of the Six Nations bombing Germinal Headquarters. Then the screen changes and jumps to some tragic war scenes. It seems that some themes are unclear, and the audience is talking about it.

"What is this episode talking about? Why haven't I understood it yet?"

"It felt a bit chaotic for more than a minute."

Just when the audience was wondering, in the war scene, the narration suddenly sounded. It was Keton’s voice, with a trembling and weak tone, slowly confessing the crime. The order of Dun's testimony was broken up to match the screen, and at the same time, the audience could understand the original meaning of the sentence. This kind of editing strengthened the contrast between the screen and the narration, giving it a sense of stream of consciousness.

As Keton narrated, the atmosphere of the video gradually became agitated and sad.

At the back, the war scene and the interrogation scene are interlaced to enhance the effect, and at the same time let the audience understand the theme of the video more intuitively, which is the truth of the old era of Aquamarine. With the cooperation of the picture, the theme is expressed in detail, fully showing Sad atmosphere. Black Star only appeared at the end of the video. With him as the core, Meat Bun summed up the plot again. This time, Meat Bun did not use humor, but made this video with a slightly heavy and sensational atmosphere. Compared with the previous period, the effect is also very good.

Ten days ago, Han Xiao used some means to let Roubao interrogate Keton to learn the truth of the old era. He was 80% sure that Roubao would share this secret with other players. Roubao was a video producer, and This plot about Seablue Star is very suitable for making videos, and it is very eye-catching.

As expected, Roubao has a keen sense of news materials, found the value, and made a video. He thought he was lucky enough to learn the secret, but he didn’t know that he was secretly guided by Han Xiao. After getting along for a long time, Han Xiao Xiao is already very familiar with how to use the meat bun as a public opinion weapon. He only needs to provide fragmented materials, and he doesn't need to worry about the quality of the video made by the meat bun. He is a professional.

The response to the video was intense, and the audience was shocked. They didn't expect the side story to be such an explosive secret, and Seablue Star suddenly became the one who received sympathy.

And Gedora didn't have a very obvious image in the players' minds. After the video was rendered, it was labeled as "high above", "arrogant" and other labels.

The vast majority of players are pragmatic and value benefits and rewards. However, this is not the only motivation for acting. Players have their own preferences. Sometimes the importance of likes and dislikes even exceeds interests. Few people like to be superior and represent authority people.

What's more, after version 1.0, most of the players have feelings for Seablue Star, and they are automatically substituted into Seablue Star's side. Immediately, they feel indignant towards Gedora and have a very bad impression.

Fighting against "authority" has always been an activity that most players love to see.

The impact of the video slowly fermented, and the players were excited. They posted continuously on the Seablue Star forum, and the collective behavior was more likely to stir up emotions. It seemed that Gedora had become a heinous guy overnight.

Some players even chanted slogans - tonight, we are all Hailan people!

Han Xiao paid close attention to the situation of the forum, and the goal was basically achieved. The public opinion was nothing more than elevating himself or attacking the enemy. He did not distort the facts. All he did was to expose the "secret". Since the citizens of Gedora have done this kind of thing, Regardless of whether she was instructed or not, Gedora had to take up the pot.

——For the time being, it can be regarded as seeking some justice for Seablue Star.

Originally, Gedora's welfare was not as good as its own mercenary group, but now that its status is not good, its attractiveness suddenly plummeted. If this is the stock price, it is basically equal to a continuous limit.

Under the chain reaction, Nagokin's recruitment situation took a turn for the worse, and some players who originally wanted to join also gave up their thoughts. Anyway, some people have already tried the water, and the Gedora camp does not have any special benefits, so there is no need to go there.

The number of players in the Gedora camp dropped sharply, and even many players who had joined the Gedora camp returned to Black Star's embrace.

Nagokin was completely at a loss. Didn't he be fine a few days ago? Why can't he recruit other people all of a sudden? What's the problem?

He was puzzled, how did he know that there were a lot of public opinions that were not conducive to Gedora in places he could not see, and he was completely kept in the dark.

"If I get involved, Gedora probably won't be able to recruit anyone."

In the room, Han Xiao browsed the trends of the forum and let out a sigh of relief.

Although he and Nagokin fought side by side, in essence, he saved each other. If he hadn't intervened in Nagokin's mission, Nagokin would have been crippled long ago.

Nagojin Pidiandian ran over to pick the fruits of victory, thinking that he would not be angry, and his heart was too big. Since he was unreasonable, Han Xiao had no choice but to talk about physics, and severely hacked a wave of Gedora. The mood is sunny.

After throwing Gedora's problem to the meat bag ten days ago, Han Xiao didn't care about it anymore, but concentrated on building the organizational structure of the Black Star Mercenary Group. As more and more players were recruited, this matter was taken care of. He put it on the agenda, not only for the convenience of management, but also for the players to have a goal to strive for, so that the players can see a system that can climb up.

This matter is more important. It affects the fighting spirit of the player, which is equivalent to having a bright future in life.

The day before yesterday, Han Xiao officially set up a level system for the mercenary group. Mercenary players of different levels have different discounts for purchasing faction goods and enjoying faction services. They are divided into six levels. The first five levels have no fancy names. From "one star" to "five stars", it is intuitive and simple, and it can be understood by individuals.

In fact, he originally wanted to use a cooler title, but after thinking twice, he finally chose an easy-to-understand route, just like the Sky Ring Allied Forces, the simpler it is, the more it can highlight the difference in level.

And the sixth level is the highest level, named "Black Star Eighteen Riders". To get this title, the benefits are obviously much higher.

Since the seats of the "Black Star Eighteen Knights" are determined by the leaderboard, they are competitive—this is a money-burning machine specially prepared by Han Xiao for guilds and local tyrants.

Players can check the position level in the Black Star Mercenary Corps in their personal mercenary files, but the players don't have an interstellar communicator yet, so they can only check their files through Philip for the time being.

There are three factors that determine the level of a mercenary, one is the credibility of the personal mercenary file, the other is the current faction relationship, and the third is the total contribution value to the Black Star Mercenary Group.

Credit needs to be accumulated by completing employment, and players can continue to do tasks to increase their personal credit.

The current faction relationship is also easy to understand. For example, players who have just joined the Black Star Mercenary Group are all one-star mercenaries. If they want to be promoted to two-star mercenaries, one of the prerequisites is that the faction relationship reaches [Friendly], that is, the current contribution It is above 1000 points, and after the promotion is completed, there is no need to maintain the current contribution point, even if the contribution point is spent, the level will not be reduced.

The total contribution is the highlight. For example, if there are 3000 contribution points, 1000 points are spent, and the total contribution point is still 3000 points, which is equivalent to all the contribution points accumulated in history. From one star to two stars, a total contribution of 20,000 points is required.

As soon as the level system was launched, players studied the system with curiosity, and soon discovered that the place where they could take advantage of the loopholes was the total contribution.

Because the faction relationship is below friendly (1000 points), 50 Enals can be exchanged for 100 contribution points. If the current contribution is between 1000 points and 3000 points, 500 Enals can be exchanged for 100 contribution points. Think, as long as the current contribution is controlled below 1000 points, the total contribution can be increased at the smallest cost!

With this discovery, many players were overjoyed, feeling that they had found a shortcut.

Han Xiao had expected it a long time ago, he likes players to feel that they have made money.

The reason is very simple, as long as the current contribution reaches 1000 points, if you want to save money, you must spend the contribution points in your hand, and the contribution points can only be used to buy faction goods, and players have to spend extra Inal to buy things. Constantly going back and forth is equivalent to urging players to consume, and players think that accumulating total contribution points is earned.

Moreover, the other two factors that affect the mercenary level are rigid requirements, and there is no way to take advantage of loopholes, so players cannot use shortcuts to quickly increase the mercenary level.

The "shortcut" of the total contribution is actually a conspiracy by Great Technician Han, who uses the player's psychology to deliberately leave a "loophole" for the player to discover by themselves.

There are a lot of newcomers in the mercenary regiment, and now there are only dozens of high-level players who follow him at the earliest. The system that Han Xiao set up is not low. Judging from the progress of the players at this time, he estimates that within one or two versions, the basic No player can reach the highest level, this is the long-term layout.

"The formal planning of the mercenary group has just started, take your time." In the room, Han Xiao leaned on the back of the chair, crossed his legs, and said to himself.

As long as enough players are recruited, the player's strength is equivalent to his own power, and he has enough patience to wait for the players to grow.

Didi——

At this moment, an emergency notification popped up on the communicator.

He turned on the virtual screen, glanced at it casually, and what jumped into his eyes was the urgent news that the Dusky Star, which had been silent for a long time, attacked several alienated disaster planets!

Han Xiao's eyes were fixed, his expression was solemn, and he sat up straight.

"It's finally started..."

Thank you for the rewards of Yangcheng Kochiofu!

Thanks for the strange 6000 rewards!
