Chapter 884 School system upgrade - privatization process
Chapter [-] School system upgrade - privatization process
After the announcement about the upgrade of the sect system was issued, the originally lively atmosphere in Jianghu seemed a little lifeless for a while, because the first impression was that the announcements issued by the game system seemed a little calm and bland. , It is quite different from what the majority of players expect and imagine.

Anyway, upgrading all the official sect systems is a big deal, right?

Anyway, this matter is directly related to the vital interests of all players in the world, right?
Anyway, in the past 20 years of the game, the game system has suddenly made such a big move, at least it has to create some pomp and momentum, creating a lively and celebrating atmosphere, right?
However, for such an important event, the game system just released the announcement step by step without any emotion and provocation, just like throwing a small stone into the sea casually, except for the sound of "Ding Dong". Outside of a bubble, there is nothing worthy of attention, as if telling all the players calmly - everyone should act as if nothing happened today, and continue to live as you want in the future!

What a disappointment!
However, just after everyone was disappointed and looked back at those few system announcements, many people's eyes gradually lit up again, because they gradually discovered that this game announcement, which is only less than [-] characters, although It seems simple and boring, but if you savor it carefully, you can find that there are many very interesting and unusual things hidden in it, which require players to use their subjective initiative to dig deeper.

Speaking of the reasons for the upgrade of the sect system in the announcement, everyone has long heard that the sect system will be upgraded, but no one knows why it will be upgraded, and no one has thought about it. Now after reading the system announcement Finally, everyone suddenly realized that it was not the game system, but the player himself who promoted the upgrade process of the martial arts system. To be more precise, it was actually Fang Jie, who became the great master of martial arts!
It is precisely because Fang Jie has become a master of martial arts, has the authority to establish a sect, and activates a certain process of the game, the game system will automatically start the sect system upgrade process.

As implied in the system announcement, after players have the authority to build their own sects, the player sects will inevitably have a severe or even subversive impact on the original official sect system, because anyone who has played the game should know that players What will the first sect or union established mean!
Usually, the first player sect or guild will have the supreme sense of honor and superiority in the game, and there will be a large number of high-level players who have not yet established a camp to join in to share this honor and superiority, and take this as an opportunity , to establish the status of the big brother among all player sects established in the future, which is what people usually call "the first guild".

The psychological and resource advantages obtained by the First Trade Union in the early stage are generally difficult to be overtaken by latecomers. Even if they are overtaken, the so-called thin camel is bigger than a horse. Under the social system like China that likes to rank seniority , as a veteran sect, this unique psychological advantage still exists. As long as it is not poorly managed, it is a sure thing to sit firmly in the top three of the Jianghu forces.

In the game "Net Gold", the game system seems unwilling to let the first sect established by the player have too many inherent advantages. Looking at the entire announcement about the upgrade of the sect system, a little analysis can lead to a conclusion Shocking conclusion - this comprehensive upgrade of the official sect system is actually a process of transformation from the official sect to the quasi-player sect, and to offset the impact and negative impact of the first player sect that may be born soon .

As we all know, the management system and hardware and software facilities of the previous official sects were all controlled by the game system. Players have only been "borrowing" the official sect system and various facility functions. Within the delineated range of this game system, there are only some extremely limited management rights.

But after the sect system upgrade this time, the management systems of all official sects will be fully handed over to the sect leader, and all the functions of the hardware and software facilities will also be taken back by the system. In other words, the game system will only hand over the models of the official sects. Although the player head has acquired all the management authority, the sect base he took over is just an empty shelf. If the entire sect is to operate normally, it must be like the player head of the self-built sect. Money is used to purchase facilities and activate corresponding functions from the game system.

In layman's terms, this is a process in which the public property controlled by the game system is transferred to the private property controlled by the player. In this privatization process, although the public property is placed in one's own sect base, it is not a free gift. Yes, compared with the sects built by players, they are basically the same. The only difference is that the game system provides a ready-made frame mold for the players of the official sects in advance, and the players only need to pay for it. I can activate this framework step by step for my use.

This form of turning from the official to the player's private sect has advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage is that as mentioned earlier, the head of the player does not need to waste brain cells for a series of trivial matters such as the site selection, layout, construction, internal system, etc. of the sect base, but only needs to rely on the original foundation to continue step by step. It is enough to build or improve, and the head player does not need to become a martial arts master to have his own school, so this type of school is also called quasi-player school.

There are advantages, but there are also disadvantages. It is also because the head of the quasi-player sect does not need to design its own sect layout and system, which makes the quasi-player sect much worse in terms of personalization.

For example, Shaolin Temple, after being converted to a quasi-player sect, although Du Chen, who was promoted to be the head of the sect, could change the name of the sect to a personalized name like "Old Forest Temple", but everyone knows that this is a self-deceiving approach, because the location of the sect's base No change, no change to the layout, no change to the institutional setting, no change to the sect's welfare function, no change to the martial arts system, only a name code, so "Lao Lin Temple" is actually Shaolin Temple, even to put it bluntly, it really changed It has become the "Old Forest Temple", but I am afraid it is not as good as the brand effect of Shaolin Temple.

Another example is the Wangqing Pavilion that Fang Jie is about to establish. If you rely on an existing official sect to build the Wangqing Pavilion, you will naturally save a lot of trouble, but if you can find a place to build your own sect base, its layout, facilities, functions, Benefits... and so on can be designed within the scope allowed by the game system. As a new school, its personalization is definitely far beyond other prospective player schools, and naturally it can attract the attention and favor of the majority of players.

Of course, in any case, from the perspective of operation and management, it is still much easier and easier for quasi-player sects than for players to build their own sects.

Because on the one hand, the quasi-player sect does not need to bother to build a base; The share of shares in the sect base, but the player's self-built sect cannot do this. After all, everything needs to be started from scratch. The head of the self-built sect cannot just buy a piece of land and let the disciples Sit there and practice leveling in the open air, right?
Not only that, from the point of view of the apprenticeship system, the quasi-player sect also has two apprenticeship methods like the self-built sect, one is the original apprenticeship system, and the other is the kind of apprenticeship that Fang Jie taught martial arts to old urchins System, that is to say, the head of the quasi-player sect can also teach his own martial arts to his disciples through the second teaching system. In this respect, there is no essential difference between the two.

Therefore, after Fang Jie browsed through the contents of the announcement about the upgrade of the sect system, he immediately realized that although the upgrade of the sect system was not necessarily aimed at him, after the upgrade of the sect system, the future situation will affect Wangqing The Pavilion is extremely disadvantageous. The reason why many people expected to join the Wangqing Pavilion was because the Wangqing Pavilion might be the first player sect in the game, but now the official sect has been upgraded to a quasi-player sect. The Jian sect is almost the same, and even has certain advantages. In this way, it may be difficult for Wangqing Pavilion to use the name of the player's No. [-] sect to seize various social resources at the beginning of its establishment. It may be difficult to achieve its goal.

While Fang Jie had a premonition that the upgrade of the sect system might have some adverse effects on the Wangqing Pavilion, at the same time, the leaders of the various sects in the world were secretly rejoicing and delighting.

The news that Fang Jie was going to build his own sect had spread all over Jianghu. Everyone knew what kind of negative impact the establishment of Wangqing Pavilion would have on his sect. If you are a god, but you can't erase this worry in your heart, now it's all right, not only can you be the head of a quasi-player sect without becoming a martial arts master, but you can also rely on the original hardware foundation and Human resources will reintegrate the faction. Even if the Wangqing Pavilion is established at that time, I am afraid it will not have much impact on its own power.

Of course, the chief disciples of each faction were overjoyed, except for a very few chief disciples who were confident to sit firmly as the master, the other chief disciples could not help but feel uneasy about whether they could get enough votes to be elected as the master. Even many leaders have already organized competent personnel overnight and launched a second round of canvassing and bribery operations. The reason for this is naturally because of the unusual format of this general election.

Before the announcement was released, most of the sect's chief disciples were very confident in themselves. After all, the game has been played for 20 years, and the status, power and prestige of each sect's chief disciples in the sect have basically reached a level that is difficult for ordinary people to shake In terms of military strength alone, the leader of each faction may not necessarily be the top master of each faction, but in terms of overall strength and personal leadership charm, he is definitely one of the best in the faction. However, the leaders of each faction who control the command and leadership of the core team of the faction are not worried at all about who can replace themselves and get more votes.

But after the announcement was released, many confident disciples of the sect were a little dumbfounded, because the announcement clearly stated that there are three ways to obtain votes, and the number of votes obtained by each method is far more than one. , there are many uncertain factors.

I won’t introduce the method of exchanging the upper limit honor points of sect battles for votes, but you must know that some sects often fight sect wars, such as the Iron Palm Gang and Wudang Clan, so the number of votes in the hands of their disciples is amazing. There are more uncertain factors, because some people may vote for one person when they vote, and some will vote for several candidates who are more favorable to them, and some may not even participate. Vote and sell the votes to others directly to earn some money. In this way, it is unknown who will be the head of some sects with low centripetal force and cohesion.

There are also some sects that have never fought a sect war, that is to say, all disciples of the sect have no honor points in the sect war, and can only get votes by exchanging their rankings for votes. The decisive role can only be the top [-] masters of the sect and the first disciples of the previous sect. If the [-] masters are divided into two or more hostile forces, the result will be even more unpredictable. For example, the Mingjiao, currently In this delicate state, no one can predict whether Zhuge Wuming will be elected as the head of the sect.

In addition, some sects that seem to be calm on the surface, but have accumulated a lot of contradictions inside, also have great changes.

For example, the Wudang faction where the "good old man" Fan Chaodan belongs to, because Fan Chaodan has always adopted the "moderate" and "checks and balances" approach when managing the sect, so that it has always regarded the biggest political enemy as a "grindstone" and did not kill it. Killing everything, this also gave Not Simple a chance to make a comeback and turn defeat into victory.

Another example is Shangguan Haoran, the beggar among the beggars and the former leader of the beggar gang. In this general election, Shangguan Haoran must use his status as the former leader of the beggars and the leader of the Clean Clothes Sect to sing against the beggar among the beggars. The extra votes obtained in the year of the apprentice, the votes in the hands of Shangguan Haoran are not much less than the beggars among the beggars, and there are certain conditions for competition.

In addition, generally speaking, players who can ascend to the position of the first disciple of the sect must have offended many people within the sect and established many political enemies. , so they were excluded by the high-level power. Most of these people in the opposition still retain some power and popular feeling in their sect, have a certain prestige and popularity, and their martial arts strength may not be much worse than those of the first disciples, or even stronger.

These people are usually intimidated by the leader of the sect who has mastered most of the power and resources. Perhaps they dare not take any action, and some even pretend to be grandsons in front of the leader. It is a method of voting by anonymous system. As long as you secretly gather your own people to unify their thinking, promise to win over a group of people with benefits, and then find a way to divide some people who belong to the first disciple force, it is very likely to get relatively more votes. Vote for the throne of the master!
So in general, this head election is actually a test of the overall strength and quality of the head candidates, allowing players to vote with honor points in exchange for votes, to see the hearts of the people after the transformation of the head candidates' personal charm; Let players exchange their rankings for votes to vote, to see the leadership and control ability of the head candidate, and how many high-level players among the masters of this faction can be convinced and willing to serve him; Obtaining votes is an affirmation of the overall strength of the previous chief disciples and their contributions to the sect, and it will not allow the disciples to completely dominate the general election.

It is precisely because of this that those leaders who have been incompetent, do not do much, occupy the latrines and do nothing, those who harbor evil intentions, play tricks, and calculate in every possible way, those who harm others for selfishness, selfish and selfish, There are also those first disciples who made the whole sect angry but still go their own way. This time it can be said that they are terribly guilty and have to rush around like a buddha. After all, if the general election is held according to this voting method, it is really hard to be elected as the head. It's hard to say...

Of course, those first disciples who are confident that they can be elected as the head of the sect can't rest easy, because according to the description of the third stage of the sect system upgrade, the game system only gives two weeks of free trial operation time. If you don’t spend a lot of money to open some basic functions of the school during this period, such as practice rooms, auction houses, warehouses, teleportation secret passages, master NPCs, etc., it will be really big, according to Fang Jie’s estimation Well, if the head of the sect can't spend money to build these infrastructures, once the two-week free trial operation period is over, there will definitely be a large number of players from the sect who will go to the sect with good welfare conditions to continue leveling. Doesn't the polished commander who bears the title of head of a sect want to cry without tears?
Fang Jie has Fang Jie's troubles, and the leaders of each faction have their troubles. As an ordinary player with nothing to do, although he basically has no direct interest in the general election, he also has his own problems. Worrying, because after the sect system is upgraded, many hardware functions of the quasi-player sect can no longer be used. Although this should be a problem that the player's head struggles with, who can guarantee that the head he has chosen is really as good as he was during the election? To be as conscientious as advertised, with "serving the people" as the basic principle of conduct?

In this regard, the vast majority of players who have read the relevant instructions on the upgrade of the sect system do not have too much hope, because no matter how rich the player is, it is impossible to fill the huge financial hole when upgrading the sect, so the only way It is to use the financial power in your hands to exploit the disciples. Of course, using the word "exploitation" may be a bit exaggerated, but anyway, the wool comes from the sheep. Players can imagine getting free from the game system like before. Gone are the days of benefits and functionality, as evidenced by the ancient tomb pie bird house.

When Fang Jie checked the system descriptions after the upgrade of each faction, he found that there are actually many ways for the head of the player to raise funds. On the contrary, it may attract more players sent by him to join. Therefore, it is a matter of human effort. The key is to see how the masters operate. At least Fang Jie feels that he is confident that Wangqing Pavilion will be able to operate smoothly after building his own sect.

Of course, Fang Jie only took a rough look at the system descriptions after each faction's upgrade. After all, each faction's system has its own characteristics, and they cannot be exactly the same. It would be too wasteful to read all of them. Time and energy were exhausted, and while Fang Jie was browsing the system description, Feng Lin also sent a text message, asking Fang Jie for help in planning some matters related to the upgrade of the Emei Sect. After getting this precious practice opportunity , Fang Jie agreed without saying a word, and conducted a careful study on the upgrade instructions of the Emei sect's sect system...
