Players’ NPC daddy

Chapter 561 Only the dead can stand in the reversed world

The Penguin still remembers the awkward expressions on the geniuses' faces when they came up with the "World Series" plan as an emergency measure, as if they were quite resistant.

At the time, he did not understand this situation, because PVP rankings between players are normal marketing and inevitable. Even stand-alone games will compare speedrun times, not to mention large-scale online games.

Even if there is no formal ranking competition like the World Series, players will spontaneously compete with each other openly or covertly, and many guilds also have such rankings within themselves.

Although most of the players knew that they had no chance and were just joining in the fun, those who could compete became very enthusiastic.

Top players cannot resist the temptation of being the world's number one. Even if they are not the world's number one, they will still want to be ranked second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth. As long as a player has the ability to enter the leaderboard, he will work hard for it.

So there shouldn't be any problem in creating a more formal official PVP competition... but in fact the problem is a bit big.

[Twelve Beasts], these twelve items can directly enter the top 32 of the World Series, and the solar map of their locations has also been made public.

Basically all the top players started looking for the [Twelve Beasts], which led to behaviors such as chasing and blocking resurrection points, which would deteriorate the game environment.

This is actually not a problem. The real problem is the relationship between NPCs and players.

Players began to mechanically and repeatedly grind materials and skills in pursuit of perfection and powerful equipment, and would simply ignore requests from NPCs. They had to prepare for the World Championships and had no time to take on such small tasks.

The core of this game is to interact with NPCs, constantly accumulate data, and constantly produce wonderful changes. This is magical, the story between players and NPCs will become one mission after another, which is the biggest difference between this game and other games.

However, because of the World Series, players have become indifferent to NPCs. This will not worsen the reaction between NPCs and players, it will only stop, but stopping the reaction is the biggest adverse reaction.

At least before the World Series ended, players' attitude towards NPCs was probably the same as that of parents busy at work. At most, they would simply say hello, and sometimes they would not even show up at all.

When players are eager to pursue strength, NPCs are nothing more than tools for them. Only NPCs with special tasks can arouse their interest, and they will not even look at other passers-by NPCs.

In the past, although players also pursued strength, they were very leisurely and wandered around the world at will. However, the official ranking of the World Series is like a whip, forcing players to run wildly in one direction.

"This is such a bad operation. It ruins the gaming environment." Penguin slammed his forehead on the table. This was a problem that had accumulated over time. It was not discovered at the time, and by the time it emerged, it was already impossible to stop it.

"There's nothing we can do about it." Cook patted Penguin on the shoulder and said softly, "You should know that it's meaningless for you to repent now. You might as well work a little longer. And by the way, go order me an Orange C Americano."

"Is there any difference between drinking that stuff and being tortured?"

"I just need to torture myself now. Otherwise, what should I do if I fall asleep?"

The penguin glanced at the kitchen utensils quietly, her hair was disheveled and her eyes were red, like a female ghost.

Recently everyone has been staying up all night, fearing that the second phase of the Golden Country will emerge.

In fact, the best solution at the moment is to stop the World Series and not gather the Twelve Beasts. Or to stop the Twelve Beasts from dedicating their consciousness to the sun and prevent any changes to the map for the time being.

As long as the map of the Golden Kingdom does not float up, those monsters will not appear in large areas in the areas where players are active.

"Actually... we just need to think of a way to allow players to explore the reversed world." Penguin tried to offer some suggestions to help. "Let players explore the reversed Golden Kingdom, obtain special jobs, and even fight the target monsters in advance. I believe that with the ability of the players, even if they don't obtain special jobs, they can still find a way to eliminate the target enemy."

"This is the biggest problem. Before the Sun Ceremony is completed, only the dead can stand on that land." The muscular otaku with glasses poked his head out from a pile of documents and said helplessly, holding his glasses.

"Even if you use a gadget that reverses gravity, it can only be used in a closed environment, and El Dorado is an open space."

"Dead people..." Penguin pinched his brows, feeling as if he had seen something related to this somewhere before.

The penguin's eyes moved left and right, and he spotted the kitchen utensils swaying around like a female ghost.

"Ah! That prop!"

Penguin suddenly had an idea and took out a very thick box with a setting collection on it from his workstation. Although it was called a setting collection, it was actually just a collection of various inspirations from geniuses. The paper inside was of different colors, and some were even just a small sticky note.

This is his joining gift, called a treasure box.

The penguin rummaged around inside for a while, then pulled out a piece of paper with "Chinese Horror" written on it.

"Does this item allow the player to move in a state similar to that of a dead person?"

"This, this..." The geniuses looked at each other and no one gave an answer for a long time.

“Could it be that they haven’t made it yet?!”

"It's made, but this item is an Easter egg. There are only a few related tasks. It all depends on whether the player has the imagination, so..."

Simply put, geniuses have their own reserve and will not interfere with the normal operation of the gaming world, let alone do low-quality things like spoiling Easter eggs.

"The problem is, we need this Easter egg." Penguin slapped his forehead in pain. He couldn't be the one to reveal it.

Just when they were in a dilemma, the geniuses' mailboxes began to beep, and the lights in the studio began to flicker. Along with the note in Penguin's hand that read "Chinese Horror", the geniuses' breathing subconsciously became rapid.

"Don't be afraid, I have been practicing martial arts for twenty-five years just for this day!" The otaku with glasses stepped forward.

"This is just a mass email, but the only person who knows our email address is...tsk." Kitchen Utensil smacked his lips and opened the email, which contained a link.

"I bet this link must be a virus. This guy wants to get his god account back as soon as he gets the chance."

"Not necessarily. The Golden Country is her project, and she won't allow her project to be affected." Kitchenware clicked on the link. It was an unsent post, and after she clicked on it, the post was sent.
