When I write a bug it becomes the core gameplay.

Chapter 553 Extra Content of the Physical Book
In addition, physical books have another function, which is to obtain a small amount of additional resources.

They are mainly treasure chests that fall from the sky, or fish, meat, fruits, or a small number of experience books for upgrading, weapon strengthening materials, etc.

The things are not much, but the feeling of achievement is still very happy.

Of course, does the absence of the "Fantasy Book" really seriously affect the gaming experience?

That’s not the case at all.

If played normally, the game content is absolutely complete. If Hou Ji didn't know "Fantasy Book" or didn't see Zhuge Jun playing "Fantasy Book", he wouldn't feel that anything was missing.

But with Zhuge Jun playing next to him, the comparison between the two made Hou Ji feel that he missed out on a lot of content.

Zhuge Jun nodded and said, “It’s really fun!
“I won’t talk about things like the added sense of ritual, the added sense of exploration, the corresponding Fantasy Book in the game, and the new dialogues. The key is that there is also a very practical function, which is to show the way!

"I discovered this by accident. Look, this page."

Zhuge Jun said as he turned the Fantasy Book back to the first page of the first chapter.

The first page can be seen as a large three-dimensional map of the entire chapter. The elements on it basically correspond one-to-one with the map in the game, and the proportions are also consistent. There is no distortion due to the enlargement of some iconic landscapes.

When Zhuge Jun uses the handle to click on those iconic buildings, there will be corresponding introductions. This has been tried.

But more importantly, when he scans other areas of the page, he will actually get feedback.

In some places, the controller was unresponsive.

But in other places, the handle vibrates slightly.

Hou Ji was a little surprised: "What does this vibration mean?"

Zhuge Jun explained: "It means there is a puzzle or treasure chest here that I haven't found yet."

Hou Ji's eyes widened: "Damn, there is such a function? It seems I have to buy a copy..."

I have to say, this feature is a lifesaver in the big world mode!
When is the most painful time to explore the big world?

Of course, it is most painful when the exploration degree of a certain area reaches 99%.

Since the entire map has been explored almost completely, who knows where the remaining 1% is.

If the game itself does not give any hints, then the player can only go online to find a running video, follow the video to run the entire map, and fill in the gaps.

But this is definitely very inhumane.

Although following the game can ensure 100% no omissions, many players do not like this. They feel like they are at work and completely lose the fun of freely exploring the big world.

Therefore, many games will provide corresponding prompt mechanisms.

Among these, the stupidest approach is obviously to turn all playable elements into markers on the map, which is what all canned games do.

Generally, players are given some kind of special props, so that they can use this prop to roughly determine the location of the missing props on the map.

This way, in 99% of the cases, you don't have to turn the entire map upside down.

This item also exists in Endless Fantasy Tales 2, and it is obtained from the reputation officer in each country.

Players can increase their reputation by completing tasks in the current area, exploring the map, or fulfilling certain specific requirements. Once the reputation level is reached, they can receive special rewards from the area.

This exploration item is unlocked at reputation level 3 and is relatively friendly.

In the early stages, players can achieve their goal by doing more tasks and handing in some supplies.

But after using this item, it only searches for treasure chests or puzzles in a certain area nearby. Its range is roughly the distance between two teleportation points.

If it is not there, the player needs to change the teleportation point and continue searching.

Moreover, after using the props, only a treasure chest icon will be displayed directly on the map, with no other prompts.

The tips in "Fantasy Book" are even more interesting. Players can use the controller to scan the map. When they scan to an area with a treasure chest, the controller will vibrate.

It feels like minesweeping.

After scanning, players can refer to the areas in the "Fantasy Book" to find the treasure chests or puzzle content they missed.

The range itself isn't particularly precise, but it feels like looking for treasure on a treasure map.

In addition, there are many small easter eggs hidden in the "Fantasy Book", and you have to scan it to find them.

Zhuge Jun flipped a few pages back in the Fantasy Book and came to the end of the first chapter.

There is a blank frame here for stamping.

“After completing all the tasks in this chapter and reaching 100% exploration, you can ask the staff to stamp it.

"You see, this stamp is designed for each chapter, and the shape is different."

Hou Ji was somewhat helpless: "Isn't it just a poke? What's the point?"

Zhuge Jun shook his head: "This is wrong!

“The check-in points at the amusement park and the small booklets with stamps from various tourist attractions, what’s the point of those things?
"Actually, there is no meaning to it, it's just collecting! It's a sense of ritual!

“Anyway, I plan to do a good job of stamping this booklet and make it 100% perfect.” Hou Ji nodded: “Well, what you said makes sense. This is also part of the game experience, which is quite fresh.

“It can enhance the gaming experience, and the treasure-hunting function is quite practical.

“Then I’ll buy one too.”

Soon, Hou Ji also came back with a new "Fantasy Book".

It's not just him. Almost every player who comes to the experience store to play "Endless Fantasy Tales 2" has a copy. This thing is becoming popular very quickly.

There are also many people who don’t play in the experience store, but still come specifically to buy the book + reading pen or handle package.

This is enough to show the popularity of this physical product.

While playing, Zhuge Jun suddenly thought of a question.

“Oh, by the way, I want to ask where is the Liver Emperor?
“I went to his live studio and saw that he hadn’t been broadcasting for more than a year, and he’s not even broadcasting now.

“Shouldn’t it be?
"If it was because Endless Fantasy Tales 2 didn't have good reviews at the beginning and he was afraid of being attacked and didn't dare to broadcast it, then the reputation of this game is actually pretty good now?

"Or is it that there are some special rules within Against Heaven that prohibit all staff from broadcasting? To prevent spoilers?"

Zhuge Jun is not sure what is going on, but judging from the current situation, the Liver Emperor seems to have disappeared from the face of the earth and has never broadcast live again.

He didn't think much about it. After all, the Liver Emperor was a free agent and didn't sign any time contract with the platform. Maybe he would soon become financially independent as the chief planner of Against the Heaven. So he didn't have to broadcast it.

Or continue to experience the game.

……

At this time, at the headquarters of Nitiantang.

The hardcore gamer is carefully checking players' reviews of Endless Fantasy Tales 2 on his computer.

Actually, the reviews are okay.

At least compared to before the game was officially launched and the trial version, the reputation of the official version seems to be slightly improving.

Even in the Emperor's own live broadcast room and fan group, people often ask him when he will come back.

But the liver emperor knows very well that this is all an illusion!

As the chief designer of Endless Fantasy Tales 2, he knows better than anyone that the game is still in its early stages.

The previous beta version was just an appetizer. As for the main course, we will have to wait until the first fifteen days of the nesting phase are over to know.

Therefore, the liver emperor thought that he should not show up in public.

Starting a live broadcast now can indeed bring you some benefits as the main planner of "Endless Fantasy Legend 2". Just chatting with the audience, you may be able to gain a lot of popularity.

But at what cost?

The price is that once the game reaches the stage where you finish baiting and start to collect the nets, you will definitely be scolded.

At that time, all the heat coming from the front will turn into a boomerang and stab you.

"God bless, God bless..."

The liver emperor feels that he has done the best he can and can only leave the future development to fate.

……

Two weeks later.

"Endless Fantasy Legend 2" has ushered in a new version.

Of course, this game is different from other games. It doesn’t actually need to be updated. Everything is determined from the beginning.

However, unlike stand-alone games, many key data of "Endless Fantasy Tales 2" are stored in the background, and there are legal risks in randomly unpacking it. If there is no special motivation in the early stage of the game, few people will mess around.

The new version of "Endless Fantasy Tales 2" is opened completely according to the server time. At this time, the main task of the first chapter has come to the final end.

In addition, after the main quest is completed, some character legendary quests and side quests will be activated, which, together with the exploration activities on the large map, will constitute the game content for the next two weeks.

Of course, another very important point is the update of additional activities and UP card pool.

The upper half of the card pool is closed, the lower half of the card pool is opened, and two new UP characters appear.

In addition, the official will also provide some limited-time activities, such as various challenges, puzzles, mini-games, etc., to increase the fun.

In short, for most players, this rhythm is just right.

Those hardcore gamers who play for more than ten hours a day may be a little impatient, but most gamers who can only play for two or three hours a day can just have a fulfilling experience.

Zhuge Jun and Hou Ji came to the experience store to continue their journey.

The first thing, of course, is to see what characters are in the new UP pool.

Although you don't have to draw, what if you happen to come across one that matches your XP?
