My anime character is in the infinite flow search and fight

If the normal difficulty maps are meant to familiarize them with the rhythm of combat and allow them to rise again after going bankrupt, then the secret difficulty will undoubtedly be the next stage.

Not only do you have to do PVE, but you also have to do PVP!

Since it's a game about searching and fighting, it's impossible for it to be without PVP content.

Even in Qiu Hai's modified reincarnation game, PVP is an indispensable element—after all, it's the fastest way to recoup reward points and upgrades.

However, this was something the girls were less willing to accept.

"PVP...does that mean you have to fight other players?"

Chihaya Aine muttered softly, though she was already somewhat aware of the situation, she was still reluctant to engage in such a cruel 'fight'.

"Our mission conflicts with theirs."

Koki Yamoto buried half her face in her scarf and said quietly.

"Although I haven't seen the movie, I've already done a classified mission once. When you're matched into a team in a game, whether it's the main quest or a side quest, there's always something that conflicts with it."

"Even if it's just to get more reward points, we'd still be willing to take action to deal with the locals."

Is it not possible to simply search and withdraw without fighting?

Yes, of course there are.

Even if you're playing a game where there's no public chat, there are still various codes and village rules to ensure everyone can peacefully evacuate from the final evacuation point, instead of fighting to the last one in a zero-sum game.

Ultimately, the "search, attack, and withdraw" mode isn't an absolute zero-sum game like PUBG, where the winner takes all. Often, fighting to the bitter end results in losses for both sides.

In a cyclical game where the prisoner's dilemma doesn't exist, such rational choices are actually more likely to appear!

After all, Qiu Hai's improved reincarnation game removed the option of annihilation. At least on the classified difficulty, he was not willing to do something that forced them to fight to the death.

But there's something in this world called ELO.

Although Qiu Hai wouldn't force them to fight to the death, he didn't mind at all matching the rats who wanted to avoid battle with some aggressive players and CS players during matchmaking.

"I've watched Resident Evil 2 several times, and I think I understand the general plot."

Toyokawa Shoko took a deep breath, clearing her mind of all unease, and spoke as calmly as possible.

Because it was a confidential difficulty level continuing the Resident Evil map, she was able to know the 'plot' before entering.

This is undoubtedly a huge advantage—but I imagine it's the same for the other side!

Although several different beginner maps have appeared in the God Space recently, Resident Evil is still the most popular and common 'knife-running map'. Even non-newbies are often happy to enter this formulaic knife-running world to earn reward points.

So, it's best to completely abandon the naive idea of ​​gaining a huge first-mover advantage by understanding the plot!

All I can do now is to do my best to fulfill my responsibilities!

"Our mission is to escort Angela, the daughter of Dr. Charles, one of the developers of the T-virus, out of Raccoon City. She is currently trapped in a school in the city, and we must complete this before dawn the next day, because Raccoon City will be destroyed by a nuclear bomb then."

Although she had already discussed it with Chihaya Aine before entering, Toyokawa Shoko decided to explain the specific actions first because of this new teammate!

And incidentally, he also took over the leadership of the team without even realizing it.

Yamoto Koki didn't seem to have many objections either. She just glanced at the deep night outside the window; it was probably around ten o'clock at night.

"According to the description of the main god, our team should be stronger than the other side."

Yamoto Xiaoji said softly

"So instead of doing the main quest, perhaps we should go straight to their location."

"What about that little girl?" Chihaya Aine disagreed.

“Actually…without us, she would have been saved naturally.” Toyokawa Shoko hesitated for a moment, then frowned.

If everything proceeds according to the 'plot,' then in the story of Resident Evil 2, the female protagonist Alice will naturally lead the survivors to rescue the doctor's daughter and eventually escort her to the evacuation point.

If you do that, you can indeed catch your opponent off guard.

"But if we do that, we'll lose the help from the original protagonist. Is that worth it?" Chihaya Aine countered.

Indeed, whether it's worth it or not, no matter what choice you make, there will always be regrets.

Toyokawa Shoko looked conflicted, but suddenly, Yamoto Koki stood up.

She gazed solemnly at the deep night outside the window and said in a low voice...

"Watch out, there's something there—get out of the way!!!"

Almost simultaneously, a massive amount of bullets poured out of the darkness!

Toyokawa Shoko and Yamoto Koki dodged immediately, while Chihaya Aine took several bullets on the spot. If she hadn't been wearing the Titan bulletproof armor, those few hits would have sent her straight back to the God Space.

boom! boom! boom!

Amidst the heavy thuds, like stone pillars repeatedly striking the ground, a gigantic figure emerged from the darkness.

“STARS!!!”

A deep, muffled sound emanated from the three-meter-tall behemoth, and from the figure clad in a black straitjacket, carrying a Gatling gun in one hand and a rocket launcher in the other—

Without a doubt, it's only the Nemesis, the boss of Resident Evil 2!


"Why did we have to fight the boss right at the beginning?!!!!"

A scream of agony pierced the still night sky, but at the same time, she also fired three armor-piercing grenades from the grenade launcher on her wrist!

A crimson flame ripped through the night sky, and in the instant it exploded, it played a symphony with the ground that dispelled the stillness of the night.

Amidst the roaring sound, one man-eating creature after another from the darkness swayed and staggered toward this place.

……

"As expected, we were matched in as the weaker party first."

He patted the heavy seat of the armored vehicle beneath him, revealing a confident expression.

"It was worth all the time my sister and I wasted; we managed to get perfect battle preparations!!!"

"We, as the weaker party, have been compensated by the 'stronger'!"

"Oh? So it seems you had this planned all along?" Sato asked with a smile.

"But how did you come to this conclusion?"

“ELO.” The white ahoge (cowlick) twitched a few times as the loli (little girl) gave a calm summary.

ELO, short for Elo rating system, is a competitive rating system based on statistical principles. It was originally designed by Hungarian-American physicist Arpad Elo for rating chess players. It uses a logistic function to calculate the probability of a player winning or losing, which is then used as the current rating for both players. The difference between the two ratings determines the expected win rate.

However, this data model, which originated from statistics, is now mostly used in the gaming industry.

Moreover, it can be described as—infamous!

The saying "good performance is punished, bad performance is rewarded" perfectly describes ELO!

The better you perform and the higher your hidden MMR, the more likely you are to be matched with bad teammates and strong opponents. Conversely, the worse you play, the worse your opponents are likely to be, and the stronger your teammates will be.

After guessing that there were hidden points in the God Space, Blank, a super experienced player, had already guessed that this mode would most likely have an ELO mechanism.

As gamers, there's no doubt they don't like ELO, even though their skills are so good that they basically have no opponents in any game who need to worry about them.

ELO itself is a mechanism that uses mathematical models to go against human nature, but it is undeniable that the existence of the ELO mechanism has greatly increased the activity of many games, and at the same time, to a certain extent, ensured the player stickiness that game developers need.

As the saying goes, "where there's a policy, there's a countermeasure," and players who deeply resent ELO have long since developed many strategies to counter it.

This applies to everything from the most basic strategy of losing streaks and intentionally feeding kills to lower hidden MMR, to the "chicken claw" strategy of deliberately dying without killing anyone.

In the God Realm, the brother and sister were matched with teammates stronger than themselves through the ELO mechanism they had tested, as well as—the 'momentum' they could leverage!

However, their goal is not simply to complete the main quest.

"So, young man, what exactly are you and your sister planning?"

A glint of interest flashed in Sato's eyes, and he asked with great amusement.

He wasn't angry, even though, strictly speaking, he had become an ELO victim used by the siblings to leech off others. He was more curious about what they wanted to do.

"Uncle Sato, you must have seen the Resident Evil movies before you came here, right?"

He raised his finger, seemingly confident.

"Instead of simply following the plot, we should look at acquiring reward points from a broader perspective, such as—"

"Completely change the entire world of cinema!"

Chapter 28: 28. The Friendship of Peeling Garlic!

Because of the different timelines, when Blank entered the game, the other pair hadn't even entered yet.

When Qiu Hai, who was watching from behind the scenes, discovered that the brother and sister were promoting their ELO system, he was initially embarrassed, but then he showed an indifferent expression.

This ELO—it wasn't something he created himself!

The original God Space itself has an ELO mechanism, so how could someone who's involved in the "breeding" strategy not have an ELO system?

Suppressing the strong motivates them, while giving the weak a chance poses a threat to the strong. Whoever wins will prove that they are indeed superior.

Therefore, stronger teams will enter the cycle world later, or be matched with a weaker team that will drag them down. Weaker teams, on the other hand, will enter the cycle world first, gaining an early advantage and being matched with a stronger team to strengthen themselves.

So ELO and the like have always been a tradition of the Main God Space!

However, it's true that pure ELO is easily exploited, and I probably need to strengthen my skills in this area from multiple angles...

"people!!!"

Just as Akimi was lost in thought, Doro skipped and jumped, tossing her pink hair like a propeller, and pounced into Akimi's arms.

"Drink some Coca-Cola!"

She smiled and handed him the Coke, which Qiu Hai took without even looking and opened.

Pfft~~~~~

The thoroughly shaken cola splashed all over Qiu Hai's face, while Doro had already run off laughing.

Akihime shook off the sticky liquid from his clothes, not angry at all, but looking at Doro and sighing.

"Doro, I've been busy lately."

"...Is he angry?" Doro stared at Akimi's expression, then paused, his chubby face showing disappointment and panic.

"Doro knows he was wrong and will never do it again... Doro just sees you've been so busy lately and haven't had time for him. He's about to leave too..."

Seeing the pink-haired little thing's downcast expression, Qiu Hai picked her up, then magically produced a fresh 'Orunji' and handed it to her with a smile.

"It's my fault, it's my fault! Come on, come on, fresh and delicious, brand new O-Runji~~~~"

"Oh, thank you!" Doro excitedly accepted the yellow Orenji, his lips curving into a wide smile, his eyebrows arching into crescents, revealing a silly grin, and then he stuck out his tongue—

"Wow!!!!"

Seeing Doro's expression turn sour from the lemon, Akimi burst into a gleeful laugh, then let go of Doro and ran away.

"Hey, don't run! You're going to be a rat today!"

Enraged, Doro grabbed an inflatable hammer that appeared out of nowhere and started chasing after Akimi, bouncing around.

......

“STARS!!!”

Accompanied by the deafening roar of the pursuers, Chihaya Aine, forced to take the lead as the main firepower, was suffering terribly.

After all, the skin of this thing is really tough!

Even though Garth's armor-piercing steel-core bullets penetrated the tracker's bulletproof vest, they could not cause any direct physical damage that would affect his life.

Even with its body pierced and hollowed out, this monster, modified from the T103 model, still exhibited an excessive level of regenerative power and vitality.

The biohazard world of the main god is clearly not just a movie; it also incorporates elements of games, such as the stalker in the game—

That's incredibly tough!

Although slightly inferior to Jill Barnhardt, the "beautiful" monster from the same game, she was still a monster that could stand up unscathed and chase the protagonist even after being hit by Claymore mines, RPGs, and heavy machine guns in turn!

Based on these numbers, this BOW is truly the most terrifying weapon in urban warfare.

The heavy weapons that Chihaya Aine carried were indeed a bit of a stretch to deal with such a monster.

Conversely, the Tracker doesn't rely on physical weapons like the Tyrant; with a control chip implanted in him, he can skillfully operate a Gatling gun and rocket launcher.

Chihaya Aine, who was still considered human, didn't have the guts to take such an attack head-on.
