Game Design: Is that okay, CaiGou?

Chapter 226 I came to be a cyber hunter, not a cyber college student (please subscribe)
Teacher Ma carried the shotgun on his shoulder and walked towards the observation tower according to the location display on the map on his mobile phone.

The mountain trails are rugged and difficult to walk, but Teacher Ma never tires of it.

"This is hunting, it has that flavor!"

"With this game, why should I play Russian fishing?"

"That's right... Fishing is no longer popular in Russia, and hunting is no longer popular!"

"I voluntarily leave the Fishing Cult and become a cyber hunter!"

In the live broadcast room, a large group of water friends posted comments to express their inner excitement.

[Visibility - When the prey sees you, it will use leaves or other objects to hide your body and reduce your movement speed. 】

[Sometimes we want to move faster, but that’s not the case when hunting. Your prey can hear you from a mile away. When stalking your prey, you must keep your speed slow to avoid detection. 】

Teacher Ma, who was originally sprinting, saw the system prompt and immediately slowed down.

As expected, being a cyber hunter is not that easy. For players who are just getting started, there are minefields everywhere and they need to learn everything from scratch.

But isn’t that the joy of hunting?

Teacher Ma trekked for more than ten minutes and found a small pile of artificial gravel not far away.

[Handwritten note - I leave this note here, waiting for someone who is destined to come find me. No matter who you are, I wish you a safe journey. Go north to find the outpost closest to you. There is an unusual tombstone nearby. You must do not miss it! 】

"Hey! Is this a side mission?" Teacher Ma smiled and said: "When something goes wrong, there must be a monster. I knew there must be something in this kind of exploration location."

[Experience Points - Earn experience points to upgrade your character level and unlock player skills and weapon skills. Experience points can be obtained by hunting prey, completing tasks, discovering attractions, and collecting collectibles. 】

[Hey, you got started quickly——]

【Unlock local knowledge! 】

[Experience value reward +100! 】

Teacher Ma nodded with satisfaction, and then continued to move towards the observation tower, measuring the distance on the ground with his feet.

A quarter of an hour later.

Teacher Ma panted as he climbed up a low mountain. He couldn't stand it anymore. He first rested for a while on the mountainside, and after his body's various parameters returned to their peak, he started heading towards the observation deck on the top of the next mountain.

Climb the low mountain.

Teacher Ma saw a lookout tower made of rough wood standing quietly.

It has weathered and looked dilapidated. The main body of the observatory is made of thick wood. The wood has not been modified too much and retains its original natural texture. Every piece of wood looked mottled.

[Animal sounds - can reveal the general direction of nearby prey. Listen, do you hear that? The sounds of prey can help us determine their location. 】

Teacher Ma raised his shotgun and looked around carefully through the magnifying glass. He found that there were no traces of animals, so he didn't pay too much attention. After all, the mission was the first priority.

He climbed up to the lookout and took in the beautiful scenery of the reserve, feeling filled with emotion.

"The scenery is so beautiful... Even if you don't hunt and can only fish in this protected area, it is still a beautiful thing!"

"Upstairs, how useless are you? Do you think this is fishing in Russia? This is "Hunter: Call of the Wild" and I am not hunting here but just fishing? Am I out of my mind?"

"To be honest, these basic teachings are not that easy when compared to the distance and trek in the open world!"

"Who says it isn't?"

In the live broadcast room, the water friends were chatting, while Teacher Ma was observing from the observation deck and started teaching.

[See the scenery over there? Let me tell you! It’s a view you’ll never tire of, and from here you can see many of the spectacular hunting spots in the area. 】

[Belmont is not the only camp set up by Hope. It is also famous for another reason, which is the railroad bridge along the old Northern Pacific area. 】

[If you are hunting black-tailed deer, be careful of these railroad bridges. They can also serve as hunting vantage points. I hunted a white-tailed deer on the Ronache Bridge. 】

A whole map of the Leiden Lake District appeared in front of Teacher Ma's eyes, which showed all kinds of information. The area he had explored was just the tip of the iceberg.

However, because the map is drawn so professionally, ordinary players cannot understand it at all.

[Observation Tower Teaching·Side Mission·Map Drawing——]

[Players are asked to draw a simple map from Hope’s camp to the lookout! 】

"I'm guessing! Let me state in advance that this is just my guess!"

Teacher Ma took out his mobile phone and said to everyone in the live broadcast room:

"There must be professional books on map drawing in the database here. Do you believe it?"

When the water friends heard this, they all laughed.

"This is nothing but speculation. Isn't it obvious that this is lice on a bald man's head?"

"I don't even have to guess, there must be one!"

"Yes, I'm sure there is!"

"No... you also need to learn how to draw a map? Is it so difficult to be a hunter?"

"Hey, what do you think, upstairs? Do you really think the hard-core real-life hunting game produced by Taipingdao is that simple?"

The one-sided attitude of the water friends also made Teacher Ma dumbfounded.

He opened the database on his phone, searched for keywords, and a large number of professional books on map drawing popped up.

no way!
You can only learn!
Fortunately, this task is just to make a simple map, and the system map of mobile phone navigation is used as a guide, so the difficulty of making it is not too high.

Teacher Ma opened a professional book, sat on the observation deck, and read through it.

【Basics of Map Cartography——】

[This book comprehensively and systematically introduces the basic knowledge of map drawing. The book contains eight chapters in total——]

[Chapter 1: Maps, introduces map features, classifications and functions. 】

[Chapter 2 Cartography, describing the formation and development, architecture and research content of cartography. 】

[Chapter 3: Mathematical foundations of map cartography, including spatial reference system, map scale, map orientation and navigation, and map projection knowledge. 】

[Chapter 4 Map Symbols, including map types and functions, map visual variables, map symbol design principles and methods map...]

In the live broadcast room, netizens saw Teacher Ma, who did not listen to what was going on outside the window and only read the books of sages.

"You have to be an experienced thief. Aren't you talking about a hard-core real-life hunting game? How about teaching newbies how to teach hunting and tracking first, and then map drawing?"

"Hahahaha, it's too hot!"

"It doesn't matter that the old thief has not officially participated in the game plus education special exhibition in the past two years, but the games he produced have reached the key points!"

"Famous Cyberspace Postgraduate Entrance Examination Teacher: Isn't this just the job? Let's do it!"

"Really, in this huge game area, with so many anchors, if you want to say who is least likely to lose his job and who has the most stickiness of players, it must be Liuliu, a famous cybermaster."

"That's for sure. Who can replace Liuliu's position in the field of cyber education? Her name is a golden sign."

After spending more than an hour, Teacher Ma drew an extremely simple map and barely completed the task.

"Finally completed! The difficulty is indeed not easy..." Teacher Ma stretched his waist, and then received a system prompt——

[Don't forget to stop at one of the outposts, where you can find most of the items you need. 】

[Third step of the task - outpost teaching]

Han Ting: "..."

Player: "..."

Outpost teaching?
no! Again?
I'm here to be a cyber hunter!

I’m not here to be a cyber college student!

Old thief, please clarify the situation for me——

Soul pale!

"Just play this game, and you won't make a sound once you play it!" "Hahaha, I visited a few live broadcast rooms and found that they are still stuck in the second step of drawing the map! Lao Ma, you are progressing quite quickly. !”

"What's this called? It's called making the taller one out of the short ones!"

"Lao Ma, hold on, persistence is victory!"

Teacher Ma reluctantly put on his outdoor backpack, walked down to the observation deck with his shotgun, and walked towards the outpost according to the guidance of the mobile phone map.

"I haven't forgotten that there is a side mission at the outpost!"

"let's go!"

Teacher Ma walked through the forest, listening to the sounds of animals in his ears.

[Warning call - If an animal makes a warning call, it means that they have noticed your movement, hide behind the cover and move softly to ensure that the animal is not downwind of you. 】

Teacher Ma quickly stopped and hid behind a boulder. He lay down quietly, carefully raised the shotgun and looked around with a magnifying glass.

I found a white-tailed deer leisurely looking for food at the foot of the hillside not far ahead.

[Shooting - Aim at the fatal organs of the prey, such as the heart or lungs, to achieve a fatal hit. The wind direction and distance from the prey will affect the accuracy of the shot. 】

This is the first prey that Teacher Ma has actively discovered since entering the game, except for the white-tailed deer that must appear in the novice tutorial.

"Hey..." Teacher Ma held his breath, carefully aimed at the head of the white-tailed deer, and pulled the trigger.

"boom--"

A violent gunshot sounded, causing birds and beasts to scatter.

The white-tailed deer ran away, jumped a few times, and disappeared deep into the forest.

Teacher Ma stood up and crawled, ran to the area where the white-tailed deer had been feeding, and carefully observed the grass, but found no trace of blood.

"Oops!" Teacher Ma slapped his thigh and said regretfully:
"I shouldn't be greedy. Why should I listen to the system prompts? With my shooting skills, what kind of head can I shoot? It's so small, how can I hit it!"

In the live broadcast room, netizens saw this and posted a barrage——

"Look, let me tell you that after the shooting training in the novice tutorial, animals will not only be difficult to find, but they will also be difficult to kill, right?"

"No, what's your marksmanship? Aiming master, right?"

"You can let go of this? What, wilderness philanthropist?"

"With your shooting skills, I can shoot even more accurately than you with my presbyopia!"

Teacher Ma was regretful to death, but when he saw the barrage, he was even more heartbroken.

But this is just a normal day in the career of a cyber hunter.

What's the use of regretting when the prey is gone?

He calmed down and walked more skillfully in the forest, avoiding branches and making noise. He paid attention to animal traces and feces when moving, and even distinguished the sounds of animals.

Unfortunately, until Teacher Ma arrived at the outpost, there was still no harvest, not even a hare was found.

[Outpost—As long as you find the outpost in the area, you can quickly travel to the outpost in the future. You can purchase new gear at the outpost, accept challenges, and rest. 】

Teacher Ma's eyes lit up when he saw the system prompt.

Brand new equipment?

Fast travel?

Side mission?

He walked quickly to the outpost. There was a simple hut made of rough wood in the courtyard. Players could enter the game and replenish various physical values.

There are several scattered huts around, all with their own functions.

[Unlock outpost: open fast movement and facilities]

[Experience Point Reward +100]

【Cash Reward +100】

【Is this place nice? It’s rare to find soft beds here, so don’t forget to stock up on food and gear before heading out. 】

[Hello, do you remember the guy named Hope I mentioned to you before? He seems to be in some trouble lately. 】

[He went camping in Belmont a few weeks ago and came back last night to find the campsite in a mess, some food had been stolen and the crime scene looked chaotic. 】

[I don’t know if it was an animal or some troublesome tourist, but I was stuck in a pickup truck all day and couldn’t investigate. 】

[Listen to me, I know you may have other plans, but you are the most suitable person in this forest to solve this incident. I would be very grateful if you could go to the crime scene. 】

[Task: Step 4: Investigate the traces found at Hope's main camp in Belmont. 】

[Hope came here two years ago, he said, to get away from the hustle and bustle. 】

[I heard that when he was serving in the army overseas, he lost his family in an accident, which was a big blow to him. I guess when out in the wild, everyone just needs to take care of themselves and it will be easier that way. 】

[To be honest, he is not the most cheerful partner, but he has achieved this peaceful life on his own. Let's go together to find the murderer who destroyed the camp! 】

Is this an expansion of the worldview and the announcement of the main plot?
Teacher Ma accepted the task without hesitation. Although he knew that he would have to run for a long time, he was still very happy because the third level of teaching did not seem to require learning any knowledge.

That's right!

For players, this alone is enough to make them happy.

However, before going to the main camp in Hope, Teacher Ma decided to sharpen his sword before chopping wood and upgrade his equipment first.

He quickly came to the vending shop.

A wide range of products are displayed in the live broadcast room.

When the water friends saw it, they immediately clapped their hands and said -

good! well!

This game is really getting more and more punishing!

I can only fish with one rod and one hook.

Forget it if players have a shotgun for cyber hunting!

What the hell are all these heavy firepower weapons?

"No wonder the map is set in a foreign country. If it is set in China, it will probably be difficult to pass the review, right?"

"Actually, the player's psychological acceptance is also considered... It's okay if you ask me to shoot any coyote, but if you ask me to shoot a unique protected animal in our country, I won't be able to pass the psychological level."

"That's really the truth!"

When Teacher Ma saw this, he said with emotion: "Look, let's see what professionalism is!"

"The weapons store has cured my phobia of lack of firepower!"
