When I write a bug it becomes the core gameplay.

Chapter 578: The Revival of the Fountain of Sighs

The black dragon felt a little drowsy.

He has transformed into a ruthless mouse-clicking machine, and just wants to quickly skip these conversations, complete the corresponding tasks of each monster, and break free from this cage.

During this period, viewers in the live broadcast room also offered suggestions and thought that the problem could be solved with a clicker.

However, Black Dragon tried it and found that it didn't seem to work.

For regular plot dialogues, you can use the clicker, but there are many different options in the game that need to be clicked.

For example, when an NPC asks a question, the player has to give a response, and the response options may range from three to five.

If it were similar options in other games, it would not be a big deal, because most games would not make any essential difference to these options. They would not affect the subsequent direction of the plot, but would only cause slight changes to the next line of the NPC.

So for these games, just choose the first option without any hesitation.

But Endless Fantasy Tales 2 is different. Although you can generally choose any of the three to five options, there will be some very simple questions in between, and you cannot answer them incorrectly.

For example, key information that the NPC has repeatedly mentioned in previous conversations and specially marked with different color fonts will also appear in the questions.

At this point, there may be only one or two options out of the three to five options that are correct.

If you choose the wrong one, the NPC will think that the player has not grasped the key information and will adjust the conversation to the front and repeat it.

Moreover, all the options in the game will be randomly shuffled, and the correct options will not appear in the same position in most cases.

This is a bit like the human-machine verification of many websites.

In order to verify whether the logon user is human, the website has developed a variety of verification methods, such as selecting traffic lights from a pile of pictures, or simply dragging the sticker fragments to the designated position, etc.

This test may seem simple at first glance, but it is extremely difficult for AI, so it can accurately distinguish between real humans and AI.

This feature in Endless Fantasy Tales 2 is similar to it in some ways, in that it is very easy for humans but very difficult for clickers or even AI.

Players like Heilong, even if they quickly skip the plot, still have to take a glance at the plot text because skipping the plot itself requires a basic waiting time.

Just these two glances were enough for him to answer these key questions correctly.

But if it is a clicker, there is a 100% chance that the plot will be repeated, which will seriously waste your time and you may even fall into an endless loop and be unable to get out.

As for more advanced methods, such as scripts or mods...

No one has developed this thing yet, and even if it is developed, it cannot be used indiscriminately, because this is an online game. The client will automatically verify the integrity when logging in, and will deny access if it finds that the client file has been tampered with.

For example, you can log in correctly only after repairing the client.

In a nutshell, Against the Heaven even created a special function to prevent players from mindlessly going through the plot with a clicker. Players have to click and watch it themselves!

Even if the threshold is very low, so low that players like Black Dragon who never read the plot can answer it correctly, it is enough to make people feel annoyed.

"Damn it! When will this game have a one-click skip function? I've had enough!"

When has Black Dragon ever suffered such injustice?

When he played "Ascension" or "Blood of Lies" before, although there were dialogues in the game, the content of those dialogues was very short and could be skipped by simply clicking. Even if he didn't understand the plot at all, it would not affect his completion of the game.

As a result, when it comes to "Endless Fantasy Tales 2", I am forced to accept the bombardment of massive plot texts and I am powerless to do anything.

……

On the third day, Black Dragon finally finished this plot.

Escaped from the cage.

"Damn it, what a huge loss!"

According to the original setting of the game, whether it is the Seventy-Seven Living Fathers in the Land of Earth or the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons in the Land of Lightning, the standard game time to complete them all is about twenty hours.

Heilong kept skipping the dialogues. He had done it once before and was quite familiar with the locations of these monsters and the corresponding decryption methods. In addition, some unnecessary content was streamlined in this mode, so the total game time was less than fifteen hours to complete.

But compared to the profits of this gameplay, it is still very unprofitable!
15 hours to exchange for 9 cigarettes, it would make even the black slaves cry.

Of course, the game duration and rewards will vary depending on the task. Some side quests may be completed in 5 hours or even less, but can be exchanged for 2 or 3 draws. The time and reward are not completely proportional.

At this time it all depends on luck.

The only somewhat humane aspect of this gameplay is that it can only be performed once a week.

If this could be done without limit, the Black Dragon would go crazy.

On the one hand, he felt that this gameplay was pure brute force, and the benefits were totally disproportionate to the effort, so he didn't want to play it again; but on the other hand, these 1000 game coins were right there, and he could get them with just one click, which was really hard to resist...

If this gameplay is unlimited, then the Black Dragon will feel like there is always an itch tickling him, and he will always feel uncomfortable all over.

In fact, Lilith originally planned to make it unlimited, but finally gave up the decision reluctantly. Because if it is unlimited, there will inevitably be a large number of studios and liver agents to carry out related businesses, which will increase the possibility of players giving liver agents gold coins, which is not a good thing, because recharging Nitiantang will also help players to have more negative emotions; on the other hand, it is also to slightly control the output of game coins.

If there is really no restriction on the output of game coins in the game, and there are many hardcore gamers who play it all day long and accumulate a lot of draw points, then the negative emotions generated when drawing cards will be greatly reduced.

Of course, once a week is also to give players some psychological buffer time.

This will prevent them from getting sick of the game all at once, and the negative emotions that arise later will be greatly reduced.

In short, Heilong breathed a sigh of relief. At least he didn't have to worry about going to jail this week.

Continue testing Lie Hunter.

"Hey, what's going on with this Heaven-defying thing? It's getting more and more outrageous.

“During the period since Endless Fantasy Legend 2 was officially launched, there has been big news every week and every version!

“How was this done? Was it intentional or accidental?
“Who on earth was the cutie who came up with this plot replay feature? He should be pulled out and shot a hundred times!

“All players are responsible for this kind of person continuing to be a designer!

"Oh, the liver emperor, huh? Brothers, go get him!
"What? He hasn't appeared online since he joined Anti-Heaven?

"Emmm, guys, why are you talking like the hard-working guy has gone to the fraud park?"

Heilong was playing while chatting with the barrage.

It has to be said that even a die-hard fan of the game Against Heaven like him couldn't bear it anymore and started to attack crazily.

Of course, Against the Heaven never cares about players’ attacks, and even makes people feel that they enjoy it a bit.

Therefore, naturally there won’t be too many players on the Internet defending Nitiantang or attacking those players who criticize Nitiantang.

What? You attacked Anti-Heaven?
Well done, keep pushing!
Anyway, Against the Heaven is pretending to be dead, so the players who support Against the Heaven can only popularize some basic knowledge and set things right, and the fight between the black and white pieces will generally not develop into a large-scale war.

After all, whether it is a charge skill or a support skill, it cannot be released on an unselectable target.

As we chatted, the topic inevitably turned to the liver emperor.

"Endless Fantasy Tales 2" is the work of a hard-working person. He is the chief planner, and this was made known to the world when the game was first launched. It is difficult for players not to know this.

So when players encounter these incredible gameplays, they will definitely curse the hardcore players first.

I thought that as an amateur anchor and mod author, Gan Di should be a lockable unit, but I didn't expect that he became unselectable after going to Nitiantang.

He never did any live broadcasts again, nor posted any updates, it was as if he had disappeared from the face of the earth.

Some players even started to make jokes, saying that the liver emperor did not go to Nitiantang, but was deceived by online fraudsters and went to the park, and everyone quickly called the police to save him.

Black Dragon was playing with a lot of curses and swearing, which was due to his dissatisfaction with the card draw being wrong, and also because of the anger of reliving the plot of being in jail.

However, at this moment, a new task prompt message popped up on the screen without any warning.

This is a new legendary quest: Revival of the Sighing Spring.

"Ok?"

Black Dragon was stunned for a moment, then vaguely realized something: "Could it be that..."

He quickly clicked on the task tracking and started completing the task.

Although he is an idiot about the plot, Black Dragon also knows that a legendary quest like this that pops up suddenly without any warning is most likely a character enhancement quest.

For example, the "Qinglin's Immortal Special Training" and "Ningyun Zhenjun's Special Training" that appeared before strengthened Qinglin and the hero respectively.

However, this mission does not contain the keyword "special training", so whether it is a character enhancement mission or not will only be known after completing it.

The plot is very simple. The hero temporarily returns to the Kingdom of Wood and finds that a small part of the originally closed forest area of ​​the Kingdom of Wood has been unlocked. Here, a turbulent spring water flows.

This is a spring deep in the forest. It is the source of life for the forest and is also called the "Fountain of Sighs" or the "Fountain of Immortality".

Because it is different from ordinary spring water, not only is its volume extremely large, even as vast as the ocean, it also contains extremely terrifying and abundant power of the water element.

The player's task is to temporarily calm a branch of the raging spring water and let the flooding water return to calm.

There are still some common puzzles, and of course, there are also plot contents related to the characters.

After a little trouble, Black Dragon successfully completed it.

And after completion, that special interface popped up on the screen again.

"Fountain of Immortality" Greylin, basic attributes, skill multipliers, all have corresponding changes!
