When I write a bug it becomes the core gameplay.

Chapter 678: Making Rules (Updated)
free!

In the game "Against the Sky", this is such a rare word.

From the first moment of entering this game, players are caught in an endless involution. No matter if they spend zero money, little money, medium money or heavy money, no matter how much money they spend, even if they break through the original involutionary environment, they will soon find themselves in an even more involutionary environment.

Obviously, all of this is the underlying design of the game "Against the Heaven's Path".

The ultimate point of this involution model is that Natural Immortal becomes the agent of the world rules, suppressing all top players who have cultivated to the Mahayana realm, so that no matter how hard all players try, they can only act within the rules and regulations of the law.

People cannot be killed indiscriminately.

The Nine Dragon Pill must be purchased from Natural Master.

In order to maintain the sales channels of the pills, everyone in the server has to eat them.

But now, after a mad dragon plague that swept across the entire world of immortal cultivation, all the NPCs were taken away without a single one left. All that was left in the world were the empty shells of the sects and a large number of players who had returned to the Qi Refining Stage after repeated explosions.

"Who still has Nine Dragon Pills? Sell me some?"

"Go buy it at the auction house. The auction house is still functional, but it's a bit more expensive."

"You are so stupid. Why are you still taking Nine Dragon Pills? There are no sect evaluations now, and there are no competitions between sects. What's the point of rolling your balls?"

"Just practice natural body training and play slowly. Do you think you can catch up with those kryptonians by taking the Nine Dragons Pill? You might as well stay in shape and enjoy the game."

"Hmm? That's right. There are no more NPCs, and no more sect rewards. Even though everyone is losing, if everyone is losing, then no one is losing. What a genius!"

"Just treat this game as a hunting game and play it slowly. Rich guys can pay to maintain the server and sell materials, and poor guys can sell materials to earn money to buy themselves ribs. Isn't that great?"

"But without the laws of the immortal world, won't the big guys be able to kill the small guys at will in the future?"

"Yeah, what if they keep chasing us and killing us? I don't think my secondary account can even afford the Resurrection Pill, right?"

"Find Xiao Ding! He is the one who caused this mess, so of course he has to clean up this mess."

"That's right. Let Xiao Ding administer justice. Those who kill people indiscriminately should be reduced to ashes. Anyway, the name of this game cannot be changed. If there are really such bad players, it is normal to kick them out of the game."

Players started discussing it all, with different opinions and suggestions on the future of this server.

But obviously, no one can guarantee what the server environment will look like.

Lecturer Ding has also started a small meeting.

"Brother Ding, what should we do?" Jian Shang asked.

Instructor Ding was also bewildered: "How should I know this? Brother Quan, Brother Liang, what should we do?"

When it comes to something that requires thinking, Lecturer Ding’s brain capacity is completely insufficient.

Chen Tingquan has many ideas, and Liang Chun is a designer, so it is indeed a good choice to seek help from them.

Liang Chun is obviously the most excited about the current situation.

"Don't panic, this is a good thing!
“Although the world of immortal cultivation was very stable before, this stability was built on inward-looking and strict rules.

"Now, I don't know if it's a bug or a mechanism, but the Mad Dragon Plague has overturned the old order of the entire cultivation world, and from then on this server is truly dominated by players.

“I think that as the actual decision-maker of the entire server, the Technology Cultivation Supplement Company must immediately establish a series of rules and measures.

“Like many national war games, attendance, assessment, and combat strategies are not the original rules in the game, but after the players make them themselves, they can also firmly implement them.

"It's just that I put the energy I used to manage the Technology Xiuxian Supplement Company into managing the entire server."

The examples Liang Chun mentioned are not uncommon.

For example, in some national war games, players fight against each other on a large sandbox map, establish territories, and build a country.

In this kind of game, there are not too many official rules, they just restrict the underlying rules.

For example, if a piece of land belongs to whoever conquers it, another person can also grab it at any time.

However, in order to enhance the cohesion of the entire country and to stand out in the national war, players will take the initiative to formulate very detailed rules.

For example, the land already occupied by an ally cannot be seized, and it is first come, first served; the grids where the allies have paved the way cannot be flown at will, and permission must be obtained in advance; the land within five grids around the ally's base or within three grids around the fortress cannot be seized by default.

In addition, based on the data of each battle, red envelopes will be given to the top three players in terms of kills and sieges; and corresponding resource allocation will be made based on the attendance rate of players in the guild, etc.

These rules are all made by the players themselves, but they are necessary for powerful guilds and powerful countries.

There will be dedicated players to enforce these rules. After receiving a report, they will check the logs to verify. Once someone is found to have violated the rules, they will directly ask for the land to be returned.

Those who refuse to change their ways despite repeated admonitions may even be kicked out of the guild and fall repeatedly.

The current status of "Against the Heavens" is somewhat similar.

The original underlying rules have been completely destroyed. If nothing is done, the entire server will become a pure jungle world where the strong prey on the weak.

When a high-level monk saw a low-level monk fighting a monster, he would kill both the monk and the monster at the last drop of blood. After all, there would be no fine for killing someone now.

If no one is in charge, the bad money will inevitably drive out the good money, and a large number of players will leave.

Who will take care of it?
Naturally, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. Lecturer Ding and Jian Shang are now the highest combat power in the entire server, and they are also core members of the Technology Xiuxian Supplement Company. Naturally, this matter falls on them.

"So what specific rules should be formulated?" asked Lecturer Ding.

Chen Tingquan said: "Hey, I know this!
"The most basic rule must be this: Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty established three laws: those who kill people will be put to death, those who injure people and steal will be punished.

"That is, if you kill someone, you must pay with your life, and if you injure someone or steal something, you must pay the corresponding amount of money to atone for the crime.

“This is equivalent to the basic rules above various subdivision rules.

"If we were to re-enact the law, it would be nothing more than these three:

"First, if someone kills someone, he must pay with his life once. If the circumstances are serious, such as damaging the body, the bones must also be crushed and the ashes scattered. If the person commits the same offense repeatedly, the number of deaths will be doubled.

"Secondly, for the resources in the Savage Realm, the collection is on a first-come, first-served basis. If you are hunting the Nine Dragon Monster, the first attack will determine the owner. Unless the player is far away from the Nine Dragon Monster and is out of battle or dies, other players can take over.

“Those who steal monsters must compensate the original players for all their gains.

“Third, transactions outside the auction house in the game may involve deception, such as tricking newbies into buying some materials or elixirs at prices far higher than the market price. Once verified, the illegal gains will be confiscated three times and returned to the deceived.

“These things require you to organize a group of people to keep an eye on them. If someone reports something, you must immediately check the battle records and transaction records submitted by the other party to verify it.

"If it is not true, then the false accuser will be given a warning the first time and punished the second time.

"If it is true, we will contact the criminal within 24 hours and ask him to plead guilty and accept punishment. If he refuses to admit his guilt or pretends to be dead within 24 hours, we will send a law enforcement team to kill him until he pleads guilty and accepts punishment."

Liang Chun nodded: "Well, this is a good idea.

“The first batch of rules should not be too detailed, because if they are too detailed, people will not be able to remember them and it will be difficult to enforce them.

“First, set the most basic rules and follow them for a period of time.

"Once everyone is familiar with and accepts it, and some friction outside the rules occurs, we will slowly add and delete rules."

Teacher Ding couldn't help but sigh: "My goodness, why do I feel like I have been given a burden that doesn't belong to me..."

Although he had run a high-tech immortality supplement company before, the management was very simple, and it was nothing more than leveling up, promoting, and selling medicine.

There is no need for him to take action to uphold justice, as the NPCs will naturally do those things.

But now, without NPCs, the order of the entire server depends on him to maintain.

In fact, Lecturer Ding has command of the strongest group of high-level fighters in the entire server. Theoretically speaking, if he wants to be an emperor and act tyrannically, he can do it.

For example, all players are forced to pay tribute to him, and those who refuse to obey will be killed, and those who still refuse to obey will be killed over and over again until their bones are turned into ashes.

As long as he uses the money of the poor to fatten up the high-level fighters and make all these high-level fighters stand on his side, there is almost no possibility that his rule will be overthrown, and this server will only gradually turn into a ghost server.

But there was no way, Lecturer Ding was the anchor and he couldn’t afford to lose face.

It is not ruled out that someone who spends money on other servers might conduct this kind of social experiment, but that person will definitely not be him.

"It's really annoying. I originally just wanted to play this game to experience the science and technology cultivation, but how come it turned into a business simulation game...

“Okay, I will hire you as a think tank to formulate specific rules.

"At 9 o'clock tonight, I will announce to the entire server and establish a new order. By this time tomorrow, everyone must abide by this new set of rules, otherwise they will be severely punished!"

Although such rules may cause opposition from some players, after all, some people are born to love freedom. After finally breaking free from the NPC's rules, now they have to enter a new set of rules? They will definitely be unhappy.

But most people also know that there is no order without rules. In order to prevent the entire world of immortal cultivation from becoming a pure jungle society where the strong prey on the weak, basic rules are also necessary.

……

While Teacher Ding was racking his brains to come up with new rules, Lilith was furious with shock on her face.

"Gu Fan!!

“What is going on again!!”

The plot where the Natural Master takes action and suppresses all the geniuses of the time is what Lilith wants to see.

However, the Nine Dragon Plague swept across the entire world of immortal cultivation, and Natural Master died due to countless layers of the Nine Dragon Plague as countless players continued to die. Lilith had never expected this plot.

Although the situation on the scene was developing in an uncontrollable direction, Lilith needed an explanation.

"Why is it like this again? There just happens to be only one way to get rid of the Nine Dragon Plague! Isn't this too much of a coincidence! I would tolerate even if you had two methods!!"
