My players are all actors

Chapter 71 Start Speedrun Planning!
The players had a lively discussion.

Although some of the puzzles and plots in this dungeon have already been concluded, the discussions among the players did not stop there.

The reason is very simple, the strategy for this dungeon is at most half done so far.

No one can give a "Second" or even higher evaluation now!
According to the mechanism of the game "Dark Sand", the current Trial Illusion is actually a mock exam. After the players can get a high rating in it and a perfect speed pass with a high score, the players will be screened to enter the highest difficulty to re-challenge.

At that time, everyone can experience a multiplayer cooperation mode.

Therefore, players have shared their experiences on the forum, including some details in the dungeon and unconstrained ideas and so on.

For example, some assassin players pointed out that so far, the two initial identities of "folk husband" and "member of theatrical troupe" have seen obvious advantages. The members are directly related to the storyline of Burning the Theater.

But the status of "small trader" does not seem to have any special advantages.

Many players think that this identity may be just a confusing option, or it may be convenient for players to choose different birth places and times, so as to better grasp the dynamics of the dungeon, and it is not necessary for each initial identity to make obvious functional differences.

However, this player felt that small traders seemed to be more convenient to summon Xiangyong, or assassin players could also use their identity as small traders to assassinate individual thieves alone.

But since he was following the normal process of the strategy before, he hadn't had time to try it yet.

Players have said that they can try it tonight. If they find any new mechanism, it will definitely improve the clearance score significantly.

Players of different professions also shared their own experience.

Everyone found that in this dungeon, as long as the task of correcting Yang Xinyan's identity is completed, Yang Xinyan will complete the theater line by himself.As for Shadow Waiter's problem, there are actually many other ways to solve it.

For example, the assassin player can ambush in the shadow waiter to find Xu Baihu on the only way to intercept him, and the ranger player can lure him away alone first, which can also create favorable conditions for the townspeople to attack the theater.

As for the literati players, you can use the awe-inspiring righteousness to influence some members of the troupe in the theater, and let these people go to summon Xiangyong together with Yang Xinyan. Haoran Zhengqi summoned more local braves, and attacked the theater by virtue of the difference in numbers.

The solution is not unique, as long as the player can meet the requirement that the strength of the townspeople summoned is stronger than the thieves, the level can be passed.

In short, before finding the correct solution, the players were very confused, but after fully grasping the contents of the dungeon, they found that the dungeon was not as difficult as initially imagined, and there was still a lot of room to spare.

As long as you keep trying, you can always find the optimal solution.

……

At the same time, a roadside bun shop.

Du Gang brought two drawers of steamed stuffed buns and two bowls of soy milk: "I see that you are progressing well, it seems that you are in the list of the first batch of players to clear the level.

"How about it, am I right in recommending it? Is this game fun?"

Sitting opposite him was a short-haired, heroic-looking girl who took a steamed bun casually: "Well, it's really fun, I never thought that there would be such a real game now.

"But it's still not enough to make up for the psychological trauma of your niece not being admitted to the police academy."

This short-haired girl is Xia Ruoling, the assassin player who was the first to successfully kill Shadow Servant and get the city defense map. Du Gang is her uncle.

Due to the failure of the police academy exam, she was rather disappointed, so Du Gang just recommended the game "Dark Sand" to her, and especially recommended the profession of assassin.

The original intention was just to divert her attention, but she did not expect to be played by her.

Du Gang drank soy milk: "Hey, your words are superficial, aren't you?

""Dark Sand" is not a simple game, it is a very important scientific research project.

"It can trace the source of our DNA memory and collective subconsciousness, and bring back many obliterated histories. In other words, you players are all agents who travel through history. This job can be compared to that of archaeologists, policemen, and soldiers. Well!

"I think it might be a blessing in disguise for you not to be admitted to the police academy. We don't lack you as a policeman now, but "Dark Sands" is short of talented players."

Xia Ruoling obviously didn't believe it: "Really?
"Uncle, I know you have a special job and can't ask more questions, but I'm curious, is the scientific research project "Dark Sand" really so powerful? Can it really trace the real history through DNA?"

Du Gang nodded seriously: "Of course, can I still lie to you?

"In short, with your level of knowledge, you won't understand the principles of this cutting-edge science if you tell them too much. You just know that it's right to play this game down-to-earth, and it will only become more and more popular in the future."

Xia Ruoling asked suspiciously: "It's obvious that you don't understand these scientific principles, so you can't explain it to me!"

Du Gang hurriedly shook his head: "That's impossible!"

He and his colleagues in relevant departments must know the real inside story of this game, but they can't tell anyone.Because once it is said, it means that the other party can no longer play this game, and can only be absorbed in and become the "staff" of this game.

Xia Ruoling ate two more buns: "Okay, I see.

"I'm going to try speedrunning tonight to see if I can get the score as high as possible.

"The ultimate test of 100% pain perception sounds quite interesting. In reality, catching thieves may still be injured. The game is exactly the same as in reality, and you don't have to worry about getting injured or dying. I suddenly want to try it."

……

It was close to 10pm.

in the sorter space.

Meng Yuan was carefully flipping through the discussions of the players, not forgetting to take notes.

He also cleared the level last night, but just clearing the level is not enough, he has to be on the list.

Players are all rolled up now. After finding the normal customs clearance process, everyone will start to try some unconventional customs clearance processes.

Therefore, the ratings on the list will definitely get higher and higher, and Meng Yuan must try his best to score as high as possible, otherwise he will only be able to operate in the dark.

In his collection of player posts, there's a lot of speculation about boosting ratings, all waiting to be tried tonight.

"According to the conventional speed pass idea, speed pass is actually to determine the customs clearance process and distinguish between links that can be optimized and those that cannot be optimized.

"Taking this dungeon as an example, I think Tang County Magistrate's death in battle is a link that can be optimized. If we go to fight, the battle will last longer. It's better to call Xiangyong directly."

But soon some players raised objections.

"No, no, I think you just said the opposite. Although County Magistrate Tang will definitely die in battle, the more thieves killed at this stage, the weaker the thieves will be after that, and the easier it will be for us to carry out the mission. So definitely We have to kill as many thieves as possible in the first stage."

"We can also recruit Xiangyong ourselves. Can the route be optimized? If we can recruit enough people early, can't we attack the theater faster?"

"I don't think fast clearance is necessarily a high score, right? What is the point of this game? Acting! We must restore the image of the characters as much as possible and make the development of the dungeon more realistic in order to get a high score, right?"

"Then if I play the role of Su Xianjun and sing in an opera, will I get extra points if I sing really well?"

"It should be possible, but there is a problem with playing Su Xianjun, how can the shadow waiter on the roof solve it?"

"Tell Yang Xinyan the information and let Yang Xinyan and Gao Ze solve it? Anyway, this game has such a high degree of freedom, as long as you think about it, there will always be a way."

It has to be said that the players really have a lot of brains, and such a vague rule can hardly be figured out.

For this spirit, Meng Yuan just wanted to praise them.

He didn't mean to only show the players the ratings of "C lower" or "D upper", the key is that he doesn't know the specific scoring rules.

Again, he is just a game developer, not a designer, so most of the time he can only rely on the players.

In short, in three days, Meng Yuan worked hard with the players, and then he can officially enter the history slice and face those real monsters!
