When I write a bug it becomes the core gameplay.

Chapter 679 The Second Method (Updated)

It was understandable that Lilith was angry.

After all, this BUG, ​​let's call it a BUG for now, directly destroys the underlying logic of collecting negative emotions in the game "Against the Heaven's Path" from the root.

What makes the players unhappy is exactly what Lilith wants.

This set of internal circulation mechanism from the Qi Refining Stage to the Mahayana Stage is like a perfect negative emotion generator. It can even be said that the game "Against the Heaven's Will" was made just for this vinegar.

But with the death of NPCs, everything has been reshuffled, and players can completely transform the entire server according to their own ideas.

People like Lecturer Ding who are responsible will establish more relaxed rules.

If one is completely irresponsible, one can give players absolute freedom and turn the entire server into a jungle where the strong prey on the weak.

Although theoretically, players will still have some negative emotions, the number has been greatly reduced compared to before.

Once players find fun in transforming the world of immortal cultivation and start hunting monsters in an organized manner, both kryptonian and zero-kryptonian players can get what they need and find their own fun in the game...

That would be big trouble!

Just think about it, a game where paying for money can bring emotional value, and playing without paying for money can make money and eat pork ribs, is simply the ultimate nightmare for Lilith, even more terrible than the situation after the bug in "Endless Fantasy Tales 2".

Gu Fan waited for Lilith to finish her rage before explaining, "Boss Li, this is indeed an oversight in the design.

"But I have to be honest. This natural real person thing is something you designed yourself."

Lilith stared, "Huh?"

Gu Fan continued, "Boss Li, you said at the time that the Natural Real Person is the combat ceiling of the entire server, and is an existence that players cannot defeat no matter what realm they break through to.

"So when we were designing it, we had two options. One was to lock his health directly, so that he had no health bar at all. The other was to have him have four stages like now, and the health and attribute values ​​of each stage would increase exponentially, so that all the combat power of the entire server would be tied together, and no one could move him with a little finger.

"Ms. Li, you finally chose the latter."

Lilith's voice gradually lowered: "I...you didn't oppose me at that time!"

The reason for choosing this option is, of course, because of negative emotions.

Locking blood is not conducive to creating negative emotions.

Imagine that when Lecturer Ding challenged the Natural Man for the first time, he found that the Natural Man had no health bar at all.

And then? Nothing happened.

At most, Teacher Ding was disappointed for a moment, thinking that Nitiantang was cheating, and there was no further news.

Other players will not have any negative emotions because of this.

But the second plan is different. When Lecturer Ding first fought against the Natural Man, he had the illusion that he could defeat him when he reached the Great Perfection of the Mahayana Stage.
When I reached the Great Perfection of the Mahayana Stage, I discovered the second stage and harvested a large wave of negative emotions;

Afterwards, Lecturer Ding must have thought that six Mahayana Great Perfection masters would be able to kill him, or that they could gather the strength of the entire server to fight together, but he was devastated to find that there were actually three more stages.

Of course, this idea is actually too optimistic. In fact, even if the whole server were to unite their forces, it would be impossible to defeat the second stage of the Natural Real Person, let alone the third and fourth stages.

In Lilith's expectation, even if there was a bug in this game, such as the player's combat power increased tenfold, a hundredfold, or a thousandfold, and a large group of people joined in a group fight, the fourth-stage natural real person would be enough to kill everyone.

By then, players will be able to deeply feel what it means that heaven and earth are cruel and treat all things as straw dogs, and what the unshakable iron laws of the world of cultivation are!

But I never expected that there would be something like the Nine Dragon Plague that could be stacked infinitely!

"Then you didn't take any measures to deal with the Kowloon Plague!" Lilith said angrily.

Gu Fan explained: “Yes, President Li.

“Once a player infected with the Nine Dragon Plague leaves a certain range of the Ancient Corrupted Claw Dragon, his body will explode and die.

“And once the health of the Rot Claw Dragon drops below 30%, it will no longer spread the Nine Dragon Plague.

“After the Nine Dragon Plague simply bounces between players a few times, it will be enough to kill a Mahayana cultivator instantly.

"So theoretically speaking, the Nine Dragon Plague cannot spread to the Savage Realm."

Lilith became even angrier: “Theory, theory, I don’t want to hear theory!
"Can't we take that Taoist companion out with us?
"If this Taoist companion had been designed to be mortal, there wouldn't have been these problems!"

Gu Fan sighed silently: "What President Li said makes sense.

“But there was a consideration in designing this Taoist partner to be immortal.

"The cultivation level of this Taoist companion is linked to the owner, so it won't be very high. If it can be killed, it will basically be useless.

“If you take them to the Savage Realm to hunt, they might die if you’re not careful; or if you take them to kill people, they might be struck to death by the heavenly calamity.

"In that case, this one and only beautiful Taoist companion in the entire server won't be very attractive to players at all, so how can they compete with the A-level dealers?

"If we don't involve Class A dealers, where would the negative emotions come from?"

Lilith was speechless for a moment.

The discussion at that time was that this Taoist partner must be attractive enough to the players so as to encourage everyone to roll up the A-level dealers.

The fight between Instructor Ding and Brother Li, including the subsequent splitting of the six major sects into two factions and the frantic absorption of their own people's cultivation, was all triggered by this Class A dealer and his beautiful Taoist partner.

From this point of view, the beautiful Taoist partner must be attractive, otherwise the players will not be so excited.

But this beautiful Taoist companion is just an NPC after all. Good looks are only one aspect. It would be best if she also has certain functionality.

Because this Taoist companion is basically uncontrollable, and can't be taken care of during a fight. If it dies, should the player give it a resurrection pill to revive it? If the player only gives it a resurrection pill once it dies, then the player becomes a sucker, and will only let the Taoist companion stay in the cave forever and will not bring it out.

If you don't bring it out, others won't be jealous.

So after comprehensive consideration, everyone felt that it would be sufficient to just let this Taoist companion live.

At most it can be used to kill other small players, and it won't cause any serious consequences.

But I didn't expect that when combined with the Dragon Plague, the completely unexpected gameplay of being hungry would appear inexplicably.

Lilith was very angry. It was obvious that she was unwilling to accept this coincidence.

Just as she said before, there are only two ways to bring out the Dragon Plague!

It won't seem so deliberate.

Lilith was so angry that she kept changing channels and checking the situation of each "Against the Gods" anchor one by one.

As she was changing, she suddenly stopped.

Because the host was complaining crazily and seeing the negative emotions exploding, Lilith felt a lot better.

"What is he complaining about?" Lilith asked curiously.

The anchor complained to the audience, "How come the guy who's on the list is such a moron? Instructor Ding showed us how to kill a natural person, but he didn't want to!

"I'm really impressed. What's the pleasure of being a dog for the real nature? A normal player, number one on the Tianjiao Ranking, a big spender, doesn't even dare to resist the NPC. How cowardly is he?

"Okay, I see clearly now. He's not a coward. He just thinks that he is the biggest vested interest in maintaining this set of rules, so he's unwilling to do anything.

"Damn it, it's so hard to snatch my Taoist partner. This server is so rotten. I really want to switch servers tomorrow."

After listening to the host's complaints for a long time, Lilith finally figured out the cause and effect.

After Instructor Ding successfully used the Mad Dragon Plague to kill the Natural Master, players from other servers naturally became eager to make a move.

After all, no one wants to keep playing games under this kind of involutionary mechanism and make themselves sick.

But the problem is that the only most beautiful Taoist companion in the entire server is in the hands of the top spenders on the server.

If he is unwilling to cooperate, then the plan cannot be implemented.

This is exactly what happened to the players on this server.

The player who possesses the beautiful Taoist companion is a Class A dealer himself, and he does not want to kill the Natural Real Person.

Because if Natural True Man exists, he can get goods from Natural True Man and control the sales channels of Nine Dragon Pills on the entire server, making a fortune.

Not only him, but the entire sales chain under him relies on this channel.

If Natural Master died, the price of Nine Dragon Pills would stabilize, because there would no longer be a big supplier like Natural Master. Players would have to go to the Wilderness Realm to collect materials themselves, and then find disciples of the Formless Pill Alliance to refine pills, and then produce and sell them themselves.

In short, not every Class A dealer is as obsessed with defeating the Natural Man as Lecturer Ding and Jian Shang. Not fighting is the choice that best suits their interests.

Seeing this, Lilith couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Phew, that's good! It seems there are still some reasonable players out there!"

However, the next second, the anchor suddenly said: "Hmm? Wait, maybe it's not just the Taoist couple who can bring out the Mad Dragon Plague?"

He seemed to have thought of something. As a disciple of the Eclipse Spirit Palace, he took his ghost general puppet to the Savage Realm.

As a pet, the ghost general puppet can naturally be summoned and dismissed.

After finding the ancient Corruption Claw Dragon, the anchor operated carefully, causing himself to be hit by a relatively low-damage move and be infected with the Mad Dragon Plague.

The next second, the Mad Dragon Plague jumped onto the Ghost General Puppet.

The anchor cannot directly let the Ghost General Puppet take the damage from the Corruption Claw Dragon and be infected with the plague, because the Ghost General Puppet does not have much health and can easily die suddenly.

But the mad dragon plague transmitted from the anchor is different. It will not cause any damage before the first jump.

The moment the message was passed, the host dismissed the pet!

In terms of the pet system, "Against the Heaven's Path" also adopts a conventional design, where pets have three functions: summoning, dismissing, and abandoning.

If it is disbanded, it will only temporarily stop appearing, but it can be summoned at any time.

If you give up, you will disappear forever.

After dismissing the pet, the anchor ran away, and was then directly blown to death by the plague outbreak effect.

But he didn't care at all and chose to reincarnate immediately.

There is an NPC at the reincarnation point, and it is very close to the sect. When the host summoned the ghost general puppet again, he knew that he had it!
Because the Mad Dragon Plague jumped wildly between the NPC and the surrounding players!

The anchor shouted excitedly: "I knew it! There is a second way! I brought out the Mad Dragon Plague!"

Amid the wailing of players, the terrible plague continued to bounce and spread, countless NPCs exploded and died, turning into blood flowers one after another, while the host shouted excitedly. This scene had a taste of black humor.

Lilith was stunned.
