Chapter 631 The truth of the Central Society(1/3)
"Aren't you ashamed? No, no, no, I just have confidence.
As long as you are a member of the Central Society of Information, you will definitely be interested in the information I want to tell you.
Of course, I can tell you honestly that the information I am going to tell you now can also be obtained through other channels, but it will never be as detailed as what I tell you, and it will definitely waste a lot of your time.
After all...that Ms. Alina, as the grassroots manager of the society, has a very limited sense of responsibility for us low-level members...Or do you want to take a gamble on whether you will be taken seriously by the other party?
Of course, at least I personally do not recommend such risky gambling.
The first thing you must believe is... Sir, your time is actually very limited, and it is far less squanderable than you think."
And when the zombie wizard in front of him said his last words without any warning, Liu Yifei had actually subconsciously believed the other party's proposal... at least 80% of the time.
Because the more he understood the convenience that the entire "society" organization could provide him, the more curious Liu Yifei became to know... what is the "price" behind all this?
First of all, Liu Yifei will definitely not believe in such nonsense as "because strength is the biggest reason for him to obtain convenience".
In this virtual magical world, strength is indeed the necessary prerequisite to obtain everything, but can this bit of strength be called "strength"?
joke
He's just a loser who doesn't even have a single spiritual level. In the eyes of NPCs, he's just a weakling.
If Liu Yifei can still transform into the legendary dragon form at this moment, then he may have reason to enjoy all this.
But if it's just "the academic level enters the master level"... maybe other players will have to wait for a while, but it won't be too long anyway, right?
Under normal circumstances, current players can already upgrade their academic level to basic level nine. However, if you choose any corresponding lord knowledge and add it to "advanced", you can actually upgrade the corresponding academic level to level 12.
, and that is the cap of the "expert level".
Just take one more step... It's just a small step, or like Liu Yifei, who by chance can get an extra reward of "corresponding to the basic academic level +1", or wait until he breaks through the spiritual realm in the future and can go further, "Thirteenth academic level"
"It won't be difficult if you think about it.
At that time, these "central societies" from all walks of life will have to face "hundreds of millions" of new members!
And this will cause many new problems, such as...the complete collapse of the "resource system"!
Originally, players needed to consume a lot of resources whether they were manufacturing items or building territories. However, as the level of players increases, the level of mainstream resources consumed also continues to increase.
The inevitable result of this is that the prices of mid- to high-level resources are rising day by day on the world map!
Not only that, but the prices of low-level resources have also increased accordingly [Although there is also the issue of inflation, the increase in players' gold production power will inevitably cause value fluctuations, and even the prices of goods sold in the system store are not
Nothing remains the same. At present, the only items with truly fixed prices are the various military merit exchange items in the "Honor Store"].
This entire "economic system" rises from the most basic resource extraction to the struggle for power in resource areas to the competition and crushing between large and small territories. It can be said that it determines the entire "values" of this virtual world to a certain extent!
After all, if there is no conflict of competition for "survival resources", then a mere "hate" is obviously not enough to support the intricate and long-lasting war among the eight tribes of the alliance.
In a fundamental sense, the war between the eight ethnic groups is originally a competition to expand their own living space, and then more complex and specific ethnic conflicts and hatreds against rice will be derived.
All of this is "reasonable" in itself.
However, if the "Learning System" does not want to fundamentally destroy the world view and values of a whole set of game simulation construction, then it must abide by the "law of conservation of matter."
That is to say - the various resources provided by the society are not "changed" by the system, but are supported or even directly provided by certain institutions, such as "states" such as Diastino.
So a new question arises: How can the society obtain this unconditional supply of resources? How can players enjoy this supply of resources?
And even if all of this is "not a problem", there is still a very fatal problem in the end that the NPC forces will never sit idly by... that is, once tens of thousands or even hundreds of millions of players meet the requirements in the future,
After entering the "society" qualifications, they will frantically gather resources through this method and drain all the essence and blood of all NPC forces!
A resource allocation of 10 "units" per month for a person of any level "King Level" and less rare... Multiplied by an astonishingly large number of groups... Even if these NPC forces can afford it, what happens next?
Players, especially those with money, will definitely spend money to collect these resources as soon as possible and then use them for territory construction.
It only takes a month. It can be said that the player base can completely eliminate the gap between the original game and NPCs!
Even if you are still inferior to the opponent in terms of absolute strength, don't forget that the player itself is an "eternal" army!
And the academic level of this army has reached the master level... so through repeated attrition and human sea tactics, even the legendary level... or even the epic level existence can't withstand it, right?
Wouldn't that mean that NPC forces are digging a hole to bury themselves???
Given the amazing intelligence shown by the intelligent units in this game, would they do such weird things?
Regardless of whether others believe it or not, Liu Yifei definitely doesn’t believe it.
In fact, after experiencing the functions of the "library" and "material room" before, Liu Yifei had several guesses:
First, these "conveniences" are certainly not free. Players must pay some kind of "labor" in exchange for them.
Second, Liu Yifei estimates that even these "conveniences" will not be "permanent". For example, it is a provision to receive free resources. As long as each player receives this thing even once, the number of billions of players in the entire game will be reduced.
It will cause an extremely terrible consequence! Even if one tenth of the players receive it once, it will cause immeasurable damage to the system world itself! Therefore, this "welfare" will inevitably be restricted or even "harmonized"!
For example, only higher-level members will have this kind of benefit in the future...or this is simply a temporary benefit, just a means to temporarily gain limelight among players and make other people envious and want to join as soon as possible.
For example, after the number of player groups in the society reaches one hundred, one thousand or ten thousand, this system will be completely abolished, etc. There are many ways.
In short, Liu Yifei had a hunch that what he was enjoying now should be advanced and generous treatment, and whether this kind of treatment was in terms of quality or quantity, it would not be easy for him to enjoy it for a long time...
Liu Yifei had this understanding before, but it was not until the "zombie wizard" in front of him clearly pointed out that "your time is actually very limited" that it was almost a showdown, and Liu Yifei confirmed... that he was indeed responsible.
, it’s just that I don’t know this “responsibility” for the time being...
I don’t know if the “female ghost” named “Alina” has forgotten to tell me...
All right
In any case, at least the other party's "intelligence" really impressed Liu Yifei. Without much hesitation, Liu Yifei agreed to the other party's "request for cooperation" and even directly established a divine contract. Obviously, this zombie wizard is still relatively careful...
"So...what do you want me to do for you? We've been shopping here for a while. If you don't hurry...I'll have to leave and rest."
But what surprised Liu Yifei was that after the other party signed the contract with him, he had no intention of leaving the "exhibition room" in a hurry. Instead, he took Liu Yifei and continued to "hang out" here.
"Ah, it seems you are quite anxious... Hahaha, you are indeed the younger generation!
But speaking of it, you 'adventurers' are really in trouble. You are obviously the eternal undead, but you still have to rest every day... Is this the price of the goddess of the world's protection for you? Speaking of which... it's really a waste of time.
ah"
The zombie wizard didn't seem to be in a hurry. He continued to look around in the exhibition room, and even had time to complain about the "work and rest system" of Liu Yifei and other players.
But in the eyes of the truly sleepless undead, maybe this setting is really "troublesome", right?
After all, there are only eight hours out of the 24 hours a day that you are not online... It is equivalent to wasting one-third of your time. Even if you are an "immortal undead", it is equivalent to wasting one-third of your "life"...
It's a pity that Liu Yifei doesn't seem to want to discuss this "protective measure" with him. After all, players are not real undead. If the game company cancels this rigid rule, it is conceivable that some "level-up madmen" will definitely not
The intermittent twenty-four hours of continuous fighting, and the subsequent problems caused by this...
Don’t underestimate it!
In the early days of the birth of "virtual games", it was precisely because there were no safeguards that tens of thousands of people played in them almost sleeplessly, leading to the eventual "sudden death" of n many people due to heart and lung failure.
phenomenon, this is no joke!
At this point, it is already an era when virtual games have become popular and various research theories have long been formed. Everyone understands these principles. In addition to occasional complaints from players, most people actually consciously abide by these regulations. After all, the game is played.
No matter how cool it is, no one is willing to risk their lives for it.
After silently rolling his eyes at the other party, Liu Yifei could only continue to follow him around.
But not to mention, the space of this so-called "finished product exhibition room" is really not that big. If it weren't for being "restricted" by one person in some way, I'm afraid Liu Yifei would still be very interested in having a good time here.
But as for now... probably only a certain zombie who just found a free labor would feel in a good mood.
If he still has the concept of "good mood"...
However, it seemed that Liu Yifei didn't want to pay attention to him. The zombie wizard laughed dryly and finally said something that Liu Yifei was very interested in:
"By the way, newbie. Do you understand what 'contribution' is?"
"Uh...contribution?"
Liu Yifei couldn't help being stunned.
It is said that after Liu Yifei met the "Faceless Man" and received the "White Skull" badge representing membership of the Central Wizarding Society, Liu Yifei already learned that the so-called "contribution" was directly linked to his qualification level.
The greater your contribution, the greater the authority you can enjoy in the main hall of the society, and your badge level will also increase.
But as for what kind of behavior can be regarded as "contribution..."
The "faceless man" didn't say anything, and the name "Alina" had such an attitude... To be honest, this is the biggest question Liu Yifei has been wondering to this day!
After all, the welfare benefits in this "society" are so high. It would be false to say that Liu Yifei doesn't want to upgrade his authority level as soon as possible. But judging from the meaning of this zombie wizard...could he be planning to give some advice?
Liu Yifei was just stunned for a moment, but the zombie couldn't help but hold his forehead and lamented:
"So, we have been wandering around for so long in vain? They are really a stupid generation... Are you really a newly born genius among the 'adventurer' family? It seems that your ability to comprehend is very good.
It’s limited…”
"Wait! Do you mean..."
"Yeah, what are you still doubting? What you see in front of you are the 'contributions' made by other society members in the past, the crystallization of their wisdom."
At that moment, the zombie wizard's words were like thunder and lightning, igniting a terrible idea in Liu Yifei's mind! And this idea was questioned almost instinctively by him almost the moment it came up... because it meant "creation", it meant
There are almost unlimited "possibilities"! It also means that what I am about to come into contact with... is probably the highest level secret in the world of Heroes of Might and Magic OL... creative abilities!
To be continued...
