When I write a bug it becomes the core gameplay.

Chapter 615 Immortal Cultivation Group
"In that case, I will take you to the Songyang No. 3 Middle School of my Henggang Sect."

After Pharmacist Qian finished speaking, he took Chen Tingquan on a flying sword and headed to a new area as he did before.

On the flying sword, Chen Tingquan was looking at the scenery whizzing by below while thinking about some questions.

"Lecturer Ding should have already broken through to the second level of Qi Refining? Then has he already triggered a similar plot?
“…By the way, he is directly at the headquarters of the Eclipse Palace, so he doesn’t need to go through these meaningless competitions.

“After going to the intermediate division, I have to work hard, otherwise according to the master of the double-door, if I slack off even a little, I will be eliminated from the bottom.

"That is to say, this primary division area is mainly based on single-player gameplay, which can be regarded as a kind of protection for those players who are not good enough.

“If players are determined to give up, they can just stay in the primary division forever, and then go to the outskirts of the wild world to dig up some materials and sell them for money.

"If you want better resources, you have to roll inward layer by layer."

Soon, a brand new group of mountains appeared in Chen Tingquan's sight.

The buildings here are similar to the Henggang Sect buildings I have seen before, but they are obviously much more magnificent.

The entire branch is located on a group of mountains. There are different buildings on each hilltop, and there are many immortals flying back and forth. It looks busy and lively.

What was different from before was that Chen Tingquan saw the players, because they had IDs on their heads, which were obviously fundamentally different from those NPCs.

“So this should be a seamless entry into the online area, right?
"Not bad, not bad. It looks quite lively. Although this game seems to have a lot of problems, it is a new game from Against the Heavens after all, so there is no need to worry about its popularity."

The biggest fear of online games is that no one plays them. Without enough players, all matching mechanisms and online gameplay will become like water without a source and trees without roots.

Therefore, many online games will fall into the dead end of player loss, server rollover, more player loss, and eventually server shutdown.

But after all, "Against the Heaven" is backed by the previous reputation of "Against the Heaven", so there is no need to worry about the popularity of the game.

The number of players Chen Tingquan saw at this time was just right, which should be the effect of the dynamic matching mechanism of this game.

After landing, Pharmacist Qian said, "Okay, just practice hard here. The layouts of the various branches of our Henggang Sect are basically the same, so there shouldn't be any problems with adaptation.

"I hope that the next time we meet, it will be you joining the Wuxiang Dan League and coming to me to report the good news, instead of you being eliminated from Songyang No. 3 Middle School and coming back."

After saying this, Pharmacist Qian boarded his flying sword and left.

Chen Tingquan opened the map and took a look. This intermediate branch of the Henggang Sect was indeed not much different from the previous primary branch. Although the map and buildings were much larger, the overall layout remained unchanged.

The training rooms, martial arts arena, alchemy room and other buildings are basically still in the familiar area, and he is very clear about the uses of these venues.

"Hey? Brother Quan? Is it really you?"

Chen Tingquan heard a familiar voice, turned around and saw that it was Liang Chun and Li Wenhao.

"Hey? You two are here too?
"You guys also chose the free start?"

Chen Tingquan was quite surprised.

Liang Chun is an independent game designer. Everyone knows that he likes to play games with Li Wenhao.

As an online game, the host of "Against the Sky" must invite friends to join together for warmth, which is also very normal.

However, Chen Tingquan did not expect that they, like him, chose to start with a free character, instead of charging 648 like Lecturer Ding to directly upgrade to the six major sects.

Li Wenhao shook his head: "I chose the free start. Liang Chun started as a disciple of a small sect with a score of 198."

Liang Chun sighed: "Oh, I got fooled! I said at the time that from the perspective of a game designer, the 198 identity must be the most cost-effective. Who would have thought that Ni Tian Tang was really not a human being!"

In this scenario, players can adjust the microphone settings by themselves. The initial default is to press the button to speak and automatically receive the voices of all other players. You can also choose to change to a free microphone or only listen to friends or players from the same sect, etc. The options are very free to set.

And thanks to the latest noise reduction technology, even if some people's microphone quality is not good, the problem of microphone spraying or exploding when using the free microphone can be basically avoided.

In addition, in the state of free communication, the farther the character in the game is, the smaller the sound is, achieving a good simulation effect.

The three of them got together and chose to speak as friends, and the world became a lot quieter.

After a brief chat, Chen Tingquan finally understood the mental journey of these two people.

When they first started playing, they were also confused about the three identities.

Of course, Li Wenhao wanted to choose a free start.

As a streamer who loves playing independent games and stand-alone games, he was not very supportive of the spending level of pay-to-win games. He was even more confused when he saw this opening: What's going on? I haven't done anything, and the character selection interface asks me to pay? No way! Liang Chun analyzed the situation from the perspective of a game designer.

First of all, since three different identities have been designed at the beginning, the free identity must be the worst, there is no doubt about it.

Secondly, the identity of 648 is obviously prepared for rich people, and only a very small number of people will choose it. Therefore, this identity should not have any special and exclusive high benefits, because doing so will easily lead to being scolded like a dog.

So he made a judgment: 198 should be the most cost-effective gear, so he chose this one!
After entering the game and studying it for a while, I found that 648 is really the most valuable gear.

This is really unbearable.

The two of them had a lot of trouble yesterday, and even went to the Wilderness Realm to die twice. Although Liang Chun started with 198, his combat power was still not comparable to that of a kryptonian like Lecturer Ding, and he couldn't lead Li Wenhao to walk sideways in the Wilderness Realm.

The two were taught a lesson by reality, so they had to go back to practice seriously, and one after another they came to the intermediate branch of the Henggang Sect.

Liang Chun started with 198, so his progress was obviously faster and he arrived earlier. Li Wenhao and Chen Tingquan both started for free, so their progress was not much different, so they were one step behind the other.

Everyone was very happy to see acquaintances in this place.

“Let’s complete today’s training mission first, and then form a group to go to the Savage Realm.

"When the strength is similar, the resources obtained by the team are almost evenly distributed, which should be more cost-effective."

The three of them couldn't help but look forward to today's wild world, as if they had found a little joy in playing hunting and fighting games.

"By the way, Brother Quan, I think we can set up a cultivation group here. It feels like it should be something similar to a guild. How about the three of us form a group and try it out?" Li Wenhao said.

Chen Tingquan was stunned for a moment: "Immortal Cultivation Group? Why is this name so strange..."

Li Wenhao didn't take it seriously: "Hey, can it be weirder than Songyang No. 3 Middle School? Anyway, if you join the group, there are some benefits, but you can only join disciples of the Henggang School."

Chen Tingquan nodded: "Okay, let's make one then."

Soon, Chen Tingquan joined the study group called "Tou Fangfang".

"No, the name you gave it..." Chen Tingquan couldn't help but complain.

Li Wenhao laughed and said, "I just named it randomly. It's okay, Brother Quan. If you are not satisfied, you can change it later."

Chen Tingquan sighed and said nothing more.

By now, he had roughly figured out the general social structure of the game: at the top were the six major sects, followed by ordinary large sects, such as the Henggang Sect, and within the Henggang Sect, there were headquarters, senior branches, intermediate branches, and primary branches.

Within the branch, players can freely form various cultivation groups and make rapid progress as a group.

Each group will be ranked, and if they rank high, they can get some rewards from the sect.

But if you want to be promoted, for example, from a mid-level division to a high-level division, then all members of the group must be promoted together, otherwise the only option is to kick out the members who are holding you back. Or, the promoted members can leave the group first, and then create a new group after reaching the high-level division.

"It seems that this is not bad. This game still retains a little bit of humanity."

Chen Tingquan couldn't help but sigh.

Before in the Savage Realm, he deeply felt the huge gap in combat power between civilian players and krypton guys. Instructor Ding did nothing but exploded with anger and killed him.

If the wild world is full of kryptonians like Lecturer Ding, how can ordinary players survive?

But now it seems that the production team of "Against the Heavens" is still a little humane, and there are still some settings to restrict this.

First of all, if a kryptonian kills a civilian player by mistake, he will have to pay compensation, which is very expensive, and the more he kills, the more expensive it becomes. Even a kryptonian will feel the pain.

Secondly, this game also has a soft matching mechanism, and civilian players and krypton guys cannot get together most of the time.

Common players gathered in ordinary sects, and even when they formed groups, they were all competing with each other. The kryptonians were all concentrated in the six major sects, and within each sect, kryptonians were competing with each other.

Only in the wild world will the two have more intersections, and they are most likely not in the same area.

Because the strength of ordinary players can only reach the outskirts of the wilderness at most, the kryptonians have gone to explore deeper.

Thinking of this, Chen Tingquan felt a glimmer of hope.

Of course I can't compare with the krypton guys, but we are all zero-krypton players. If I practice hard, I should be able to stand out, right?
