The game has started, there are absolutely no bugs this time

Chapter 89 I will take care of your wife and children
Who exactly is this 'I am not Cao Zei'?

I haven't heard of it. How did they find the hidden gameplay that Gu Meng couldn't find so quickly?

But if he wasn't a headline-grabber...

Maybe he really is gifted and has discovered an evil path himself?
Because no one mentioned that there was a Minotaur gameplay when Youxuan was in internal testing, so internal staff couldn't leak the information even if they wanted to.

Just read the text below.

"As we all know, the game 'Three Kingdoms: Minotaur Simulator' retains the high degree of freedom that gaming metaphysics always possesses."

The Dragon King was furious: "How dare you! The game I made is clearly called "Crouching Dragon: Fall of the Sky"!
Uh, something seems wrong.

Oh, the game I made is called "Total War: Mount & Blade"!
"It has a high degree of freedom and a wide variety of gameplay options. I don't know what kind of cutting-edge technology this game uses, perhaps similar to recent American blockbusters that utilize some kind of artificial intelligence. In many activities, in addition to the normal options, many dialogues allow players to enter their own input. This rule is especially important when recruiting NPC teammates and improving their favorability..."

"Everyone should have felt through repeated experimentation that when you're making friends with and recruiting NPCs, saying things they like to hear can really increase your chances of success and reduce costs."

"On the other hand, if someone speaks with a rude attitude but speaks beautiful Chinese, then unless they have a masochistic personality, the recruitment requirements will definitely be raised, and the initial favorability will also be lower."

"Although recruiting these NPCs is troublesome and the maintenance costs are high, they all have growth potential. You can train them as generals or counselors. After training them in the Romance mode, you can exchange them for a set of armor and weapons. Later on, they can at least defeat a hundred people at least one at a time. They can defeat regular troops above level three at one hundred. Stronger NPCs at level four or five can also defeat a hundred people at one. And except for special events, they generally cannot die!"

"If I could bring 18 NPC generals with me, charge into battle, and move freely among thousands of people, I could experience the feeling of being Xiang Yu. It would be so cool."

"However, NPC teammates are different from normal soldiers. These hero units often have initial attributes of 30, 40, or even 60 or 70. Each player has a recruitment limit. Unlike soldiers, players can lead thousands of people after a short development, and even tens of thousands if they specialize in military tactics. In the later stages, they can even lead even more soldiers."

"In an army, the threshold required to reach more than ten NPC units is very high."

"If there are more, the player should set up separate units, letting them engage in business or patrol and suppress bandits independently. If they already have a base, they can be made into chief clerks, county magistrates, or prefects. In short, try not to keep them all together."

"If there are too many NPC companions in the same army and the protagonist does not meet the requirements, it is easy to end up like Yuan Shao. They will quarrel among themselves, and the various skill bonuses provided to the army will actually be reduced."

"This upper limit is related to many attributes. In addition to the protagonist's leadership skills, charm, and persuasion skills, there are also honor points, reputation points, good and evil tilt, and even hidden attributes such as compatibility, which refers to their mutual perception and their relationship with the player."

"The NPCs in this game are very intelligent. Some of them dislike each other and even quarrel with each other."

Below are some screenshots and short videos, including one where NPCs who are sworn enemies stab each other, and the one who survives apologizes to the protagonist.

No matter how you deal with it, the money spent on recruiting and training the dead NPC, the experience gained, and the equipment you bought for him can no longer be recovered.

The NPC that survives is likely to be disloyal. If it is not dealt with seriously, the morale of the team will be low and it will be difficult to lead the team. It will also be more difficult to recruit NPCs next time.

"So the question is, how can we recruit NPCs at an infinitely low cost? And once we recruit them, how can we prevent them from conflicting with each other?"

It's quite good at keeping people in suspense. By the way, Gu Meng feels that this is a little different from what the title says, right?

Where is the Minotaur?

Also, the situation where NPCs kill each other is too extreme. Generally, NPCs that can be recruited are those who have a deep blood feud with each other.

They have different personalities: one is righteous and the other has evil values.

They won't fight each other for the sake of the players. At most, they will quarrel and then give the players an ultimatum: it's either me or him.

Tragedy is likely to occur unless the players treat them very poorly, use rhetoric to lower their favorability towards the players as soon as they join the team, and ignore their warnings.

This kind of thing is basically the players' own fault, and Gu Meng has already tested it.

If it is really easy to cause great losses to players, Gu Meng will change this setting himself. This game is also not a game that abuses the player.

The only game that You Xuan found really a bit cruel was Pure Love Warrior Simulator, which was engraved on the pillar of shame, and Gu Meng took it as a warning.

"The answer to all this is the Minotaur!"

"I discovered this bug because I couldn't find any wild female generals."

"Even the female soldiers are relatively few. Whenever I meet a peasant woman who joins the army, I will treasure her and protect her in the middle of the team. If one dies, I will want to reload the game." Gu Meng: This kid is really good at playing.

In fact, after the soldier-type NPC is upgraded to level six, a small number of them can be promoted to become general-type NPCs through encounters in each battle. However, the maximum level of female soldiers is generally four, which means it is difficult to transform them into female generals.

Soldiers are very easy to die. The whole army charges forward in f1f3, and no matter whether you are a man or a woman, they will be killed together.

It is difficult for generals to die.

"I really want to form an all-female regiment, but normal means are not enough to achieve it."

"So I took a fancy to my subordinate's family."

unbelievable.

"These NPC generals and counselors belong to hero units, and their descendants actually also belong to hero units."

"After they grow up, if they have done their father a favor and have not wronged him, they will also join the protagonist. In fact, they are set to follow the protagonist in the game, but it is not displayed before they reach adulthood."

“When a person is killed, he dies.”

"Having descendants means having a wife"

"The family of a hero unit is still a hero unit. Is it possible that after joining the army, their invisible wife is a female general template that is very rare in normal games?"

"Maybe it was the blessing of Cao Cao's god, I soon discovered that it was true."

"They really are the template for heroic units!"

"In Romance mode, they can fight very well after a slight upgrade. And as long as I don't suffer a complete defeat, they won't die, at most they will be seriously injured."

"And they all have good personalities, unlike those normal rare female generals NPC who are difficult to serve, and the wife group requires low consideration for others."

"As long as the player's charm value is slightly higher, they won't even quarrel in front of the protagonist, and will serve them carefully, which is very comfortable."

Here are some more screenshots, and you can see that this player named 'I am not Cao Zei' has led an entire female group of 100 people.

They are all female generals. Not only do they all have charm, but it is suspected that this person has carefully selected them.

Moreover, the basic level is low and the development potential is great.

You can add points as extreme as the players.

In addition to a few functional female generals with increased intelligence who serve as guides, scouts and medics.

The rest can be slightly upgraded and strengthened, so that they can defeat one hundred regular troops in field battles.

The level is lower than that of normal NPCs, and the maintenance fee is not high.

The fact that the team is small and all its members are elite means that its mobility is also very high. This is an immortal cavalry legion of 10,000 people with a consumption of only a hundred people!

unbelievable!

“The specific method is as follows”

"First, select a random low-level NPC in the wild who is married and has a good-looking wife."

"Befriend him later, but don't become his successor yet."

"It's all about giving cheap gifts to win favor—someone has figured out a trick. You can buy local specialties from out of town. As long as it's far enough away, you can type in the phrase 'a gift from a thousand miles away is worth more than a little,' and giving something worth just a few dollars will increase your favorability."
