Chapter 885 The Four Major Systems of the Quasi-Player Sect System (8000 words)
Chapter [-]: The Four Major Systems of the Quasi-Player Sect System
In order for a sect system to operate benignly and normally, the problems involved are naturally various. In the past, these problems were automatically managed by the game system, so players did not need to worry about it at all. Now that the sect system has been upgraded, the game system After handing over the entire sect system to the head of the player to manage, it can be said that it will be a great test for the management and overall planning ability of the head of the player. Even if Feng Lin thinks that she is already a smarter type of person, even There was also the assistant of the game messenger Hua Yuexuan, who also had to send a text message to seek help from Fang Jie, who in her opinion was the best at theoretical analysis and research.

Since the head election has not yet started, and the sect system has not been handed over to the players, Feng Lin only had a paper exchange with Fang Jie through text messages based on the content explained in the relevant sect system. Operation, I am afraid that we will have to wait until after the head election to have the opportunity to formally contact and understand. As for whether Feng Lin can be elected as the head of the Emei faction... As long as there are no accidents, this should be a firm matter.

After a careful study of the system upgrade instructions of the Emei Sect, Fang Jie concluded that under normal circumstances, the system of a sect can be divided into four major systems, namely: "hardware facility system", "Software function system", "NPC management system" and "financial administration system", under these four major systems, there are many small systems divided into different categories. The four major systems also complement each other and are related to each other. It is under the full control of the head of the sect.

The so-called "hardware facility system", as the name suggests, refers to any hardware facilities related to the martial arts base, such as the area covered, the layout of the base, the architecture of the martial arts, indoor and outdoor decoration, furniture furnishings, labyrinth secret passages, etc. A series of visible objects, All belong to the jurisdiction of this system, and the head player can carry out a series of planning, design, construction, improvement, upgrade or recycling through this system.

Of course, since the hardware facility system of the quasi-player sect has basically been finalized, the actual operation that the player master needs to do is to spend a lot of money and building materials to activate these hardware facilities that originally belonged to the game system, and gradually remove them from the game system. Buy back share control of these buildings.

Take a simple example from martial arts architecture.

"Practice room" is one of the necessary hardware facilities for each sect, and there are three practice rooms of Emei School, ranked according to the level of construction: "Wanxing Temple", "Woyun Temple" and "Huazang Temple" .

After the upgrade of the Emei sect system, as the head of the quasi-player sect, Feng Lin naturally didn't need to choose another place to build a practice room. However, at the beginning, none of these three practice rooms could be used. No entry is allowed, and if you want Emei disciples to enter the practice room to practice leveling like before, the player leader must spend a certain amount of building materials to enable the use of its hardware facilities from the game system.

However, it is not enough just to enable its use function, because the area of ​​the practice room is so large, and there are millions of Emei disciples, even if one hundred people share one practice room, it is far from enough.

How to do?
Then we can only activate the "Dungeon" function through the "Software Function System". Money and building materials upgrade it, increasing the number of its copies.

As for how much money and building materials are spent to open a copy of the practice room, the relevant system introduction did not explain, it only said that the head of the player can experience it by himself, but according to Fang Jie's estimation, the cost of the unit copy may not be too much , but the number of copies is astonishing, so the total cost is definitely astronomical!

Moreover, this is not over yet. As mentioned earlier, there are three practice rooms of the Emei Sect, and the lowest level of practice rooms is "Wanxing Temple". A lot of funds and building materials are needed to upgrade and expand the copy of "Wanxingan" practice room or open the corresponding functions, but the practice room of "Wanxingan" only has the most basic functions. You can only perform basic operations such as meditation and samadhi cultivation, but there are no welfare functions such as auction houses and warehouses.

In order for our practice room to have these welfare functions, in addition to enabling the corresponding functions through the "software function system", it is necessary to spend money to upgrade the building level of "Wanxing Temple" to a full five-star level. After activating the next-level training room "Woyun Temple", you can activate its use function and purchase a copy of the higher-level training room for the disciples to use. If you want to upgrade the training room to a luxurious training room, you can add martial arts and To use the venue function, self-service catering function, and 10% practice bonus function of the Bronze Practitioner, you have to upgrade the building level of "Wanxing Temple" to the full five-star level, activate the practice room of "Huazang Temple", and Enable the corresponding function.

On this basis, if you want to further improve the practicability of the practice room, you can also purchase some furniture and decorations with beneficial effects from the game system through the "hardware facility system", such as calligraphy and painting, wall carvings, blood beds, ice beds... ... and a series of special props. However, these gadgets belong to the category of luxury goods, and their value is quite high. If Feng Lin wants to get a set of such buff props for every practice room, it is absolutely impossible.

You must know that the above is only a small branch of the hardware facility system in the entire sect system. A series of details such as pricing and sales, if all the details of the entire hardware facility system are explained clearly, it may take three days and three nights to finish.

Therefore, just from the above example, one can imagine how huge and complicated the entire hardware facility system is. It is a complex job with a large head, and it can be predicted that once the head disciples of the sect are promoted to the head, it is basically impossible to have time to improve their martial arts strength, and it is possible to completely transform from a martial arts player to a purely daily manager of the sect. An administrative player who takes affairs as his own responsibility.

As for the "software function system", if it is explained conceptually, it is those "soft standards" that are invisible and intangible to enable a certain function's flexibility, gain, and expand its use authority. "Soft standards", that is, even if these standards are not met, nothing will happen, but if these standards can be met, you can enjoy corresponding functions and services and improve game efficiency.

In layman's terms, if Feng Lin does not activate the training room of the school through the hardware system, players will not even be able to enter the door of the training room, that is, they cannot use it at all, but if the dungeon function and other benefits are not activated through the software function system In terms of functions, although the disciples under the sect are unhappy, at least there is still a place to stay. It is nothing more than a little less efficient game. Therefore, the level of operation and maintenance of the software function system by the player master directly determines the welfare of the players of the sect under his jurisdiction. Good or bad, on the other hand, whether a sect can continue to grow and develop under the management of the player leader, the key depends on how much it invests in software function systems and whether it can attract a large number of players to join.

One feature of this system is that its functions can be opened partially, or in stages and in batches.

Still take the practice room of the Emei Sect as an example. As I said before, if you want the practice room to accommodate enough people, you must spend money to activate the dungeon function through this system, and then upgrade it to increase its dungeon capacity. More advanced practice rooms with more welfare functions also involve this system, but during this period, if you have financial difficulties, you can open a small number of copies of the practice room first, and even if you encounter financial difficulties when opening a certain copy If there is a problem, you can also pay part of the funds to temporarily use the practice room in a rented nature.

However, if it is rented, the game system will charge a certain amount of rent every day according to the shares owned by the dungeon, and will not stop collecting rent until the shares of the dungeon of the practice room are completely bought by the player. Of course, this involves "financial Some settings in "Administrative System" will not be mentioned for now.

It is only said that through this system, the head of the player can flexibly control the welfare of the disciples of the sect according to his own financial affordability, and even use this to win over or motivate the disciples under the sect. Function, after its game efficiency increases, the enthusiasm will naturally increase, and it will be more sincere to the player's master, and vice versa.

Now that the hardware facilities are available and the software functions are enabled, all the disciples have their own luxurious practice room to live in. The remaining problem is how to practice leveling and do tasks, whether it is leveling or doing tasks, It is indispensable to deal with sect NPCs very frequently, so a responsible player leader should operate the "NPC management system" next.

The so-called "NPC management system", as the name suggests, is the daily management and maintenance of the NPCs of the sect. This NPC includes not only the existing sect NPCs, but also some butler NPCs that help players handle daily affairs.

The reason why this system exists is, on the one hand, that the quasi-player sect is transformed from the officially set sect, and the NPCs of its sect are each radish and pit with their own existence value and meaning. Their value and significance are not only It is reflected in supporting the daily operation mechanism of the entire sect, and it is also reflected in the fact that they involve some public tasks and puzzles. In other words, none of these sects' NPCs can be missing, and the game system does not allow one if there is one missing.

On the other hand, sect NPCs also have a lot of work to do. If they are missing, the daily operation of the sect is likely to fail immediately. For example, if the head of the NPC is gone, how can the mission of this sect be returned?How can I get the cheats?In addition, the head of the player is an individual, not a supercomputer, and many things cannot be done by himself. There must be a related butler-type NPC to help him handle some simple and cumbersome affairs.

Therefore, even if the head of the prospective player's sect is [-] reluctant, they must let the NPCs of these sects stand where they should stand. To do this, the head of the player must spend money from the game The system purchases or leases related sect NPCs, and also guarantees that these sect NPCs will be replenished anytime and anywhere after the accidental death of these sect NPCs.

Regarding the purchase and rental prices of NPCs, the game system has unceremoniously listed a specific calculation formula: system purchase price of each sect NPC = total sum of all skill levels of the sect NPC * its highest martial arts level * 10 (gold), the system purchase price of each butler NPC is 10 taels of gold, and the rental price is charged at one-thousandth of its sales price per day. If it dies during the lease period, it will be charged at the sales price.

Take the Emei Sect as an example. The head of the sect, Master Fengling, possesses 20 full-level skills. The realm of "Grandmaster" is level 500, so the purchase price of the system is a full 1 million taels of gold. If it is leased, it is 10 taels of gold a day, and if it dies, the 100 million taels of gold will still be deducted!
Another example is Zhou Zhiruo of the Emei Sect. Although her general martial arts skill level is only 300, unfortunately, because she inherited the settings in "Yi Tian Tu Long Ji", Zhou Zhiruo's Jiuyin magic has reached the realm of "a generation of masters" , so when calculating its highest level of martial arts, level 10 is still used as the formula coefficient, and its price is not much cheaper than Fengling Shitai.

Therefore, the money spent on purchasing these NPCs alone is a very considerable figure, and the head of the player must be mentally prepared that some extremely powerful players may kill these NPCs during the mission. , especially in the Grandmaster series of missions, there are assassination missions to kill NPCs of various factions, so if it is not done well, some player heads can go bankrupt just by supplementing the killed NPCs.

Of course, at the beginning of the sect system upgrade, the game system kindly retained the existing batch of NPCs. Fang Jie, who was sweating a little, breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Feng Lin might be worrying about gain and loss at this moment, right?
In fact, Feng Lin is in a good mood at the moment, because even if Fang Jie starts to do the mission of assassinating the master and goes to the Emei faction to kill NPCs, based on the friendship between the two for many years, Fang Jie will not be shameless in the Emei faction. Special killing, Fang Jie may give some NPC subsidies or something at that time, so that Feng Lin will not be ruined by him, and other sects, Fang Jie may not be so scruples. It is more beneficial to the future development of the Emei Sect, so Feng Lin's mood is naturally very smooth.

Naturally, Fang Jie didn't know that he would become the number one public enemy in the Jianghu who would make the heads of various sects bleed because of his task as a master. At this time, he had already put all his energy into the research of the sect's "financial administration system" , and even made a key analysis and exploration of it, because in his opinion, compared with the previous three systems, the "financial administration system" is the most fundamental, the most important, and the most able to determine whether a sect can operate well The essential.

The "financial administration system" is naturally a system that manages the two systems of the school's finance and administration, and the supreme authority of the player's sect is also embodied through the two aspects of "finance" and "policy".

The sect's financial system generally includes two corresponding branch systems of income and expenditure.

There are many income systems for a sect, or ways to obtain income, and they are generally associated with the three major systems of hardware, software, and NPC.

Specifically, the head of the player sets the fee standard for collecting the poll tax through the management system, and the game system automatically deducts the corresponding poll tax from the bank accounts of all his disciples in units of days according to this standard. There is no upper limit on the amount, it can be 1 tael of gold a day, or 1 taels of gold a day. In short, jokingly speaking, the specific amount depends on the mood of the head of the sect that day.

Of course, having said that, if any sect really dares to set a lot of poll tax because of a bad mood, it is definitely the result of self-destruction of the Great Wall. Therefore, in terms of the setting of poll tax , as long as the head of the sect wants to make a difference, he should adapt to local conditions, grasp the propriety, and try to obtain as much tax revenue as possible without dampening the enthusiasm of his disciples.

The second main way of earning income is that the head of the player can sell or lease some hardware facilities and software functions in the school base to raise funds for the school's construction.

To give an example, let’s take the practice room of the Emei Sect as an example.

After Feng Lin unlocked the access to the practice room and the functions, if Emei disciples want to use the practice room to enjoy its functions, it does not mean that they can use it if they can use it. Confirmation, after all, it takes a lot of money to open the permissions and functions of the practice room. Feng Lin is both the head of the sect and the funder who opened the functions. The practice room is provided to the disciples for free.

If Feng Lin is rich and powerful, and gives the practice room to his disciples for free, then there is nothing to say, but it is obvious that, let alone Feng Lin, even a second-generation ancestor like decadent and blood-less may not have so much money to squander, so In terms of the use and allocation of practice rooms, the head of the sect must adopt certain charging and incentive strategies.

For example, it costs 1 taels of gold to open a copy of the ordinary practice room of the Emei Sect. If Feng Lin wants all the disciples under her sect to have their own practice room, it will cost at least tens of billions. This is obviously impossible, so solve the funds The solution to the problem is to sell the right to use it to the disciples while opening a copy of the practice room.

During the sales process, Feng Lin can sell at a price higher than the cost price to earn the difference, or sell at a lower price to relieve the pressure on her disciples, or sell at a discount or even give it away for free, so as to win the support and praise of her disciples. Naturally, these sales strategies have their own advantages and disadvantages, and it depends on how Feng Lin handles them.

However, in Fang Jie's view, from a long-term perspective, the best way is to open some copies of the practice room first, and then rent them out in the form of lease, and then gradually increase the number of copies of the practice room with the rent, because if a sect develops If it is good, there will only be more and more disciples under the sect, and the demand for practice rooms will only increase. This is actually the same as real estate development. It is impossible to buy land from other sects, so the most profitable way is to let the population of Mount Emei continue to appreciate, and then act as a "charter woman" to collect rent.

Of course, there are still some special circumstances that need to be treated differently. For example, can Feng Lin give certain preferential policies to the core disciples of the Emei Sect who have the authority to use the practice room?For example, can the sect disciples who have made outstanding contributions to the Emei Sect be rewarded with a rent reduction or a house for free?For example, those players who idle around in the Emei Sect all day long, and even go against the head of the sect to shake the morale of the army, can they take back their right to use the practice room as a punishment?
All in all, after some research and analysis, Fang Jie feels that there is a lot to be done in terms of the right to use and ownership of the practice room, not to mention that the various gain functions of the practice room can also be sold and sold to his disciples. Leasing, if done well, can be very happy and profitable.

However, when it comes to the issue of use rights and ownership, it must also be explained that since the game system has privatized the martial arts system, the ownership and use rights of all hardware and functions purchased by players will also be Owned by the player.

For example, if a player buys a copy of the practice room from the master, if the master confirms the transaction through the management authority, then the ownership and right to use the copy of the practice room will belong to the player permanently. Even if the player leaves the sect, the practice room still belongs to him, and if the player does not need the practice room for some reason, he will not It can be sold to the master or the game system at a discount for recycling. Similarly, the master can also sell any hardware facilities or functions of the faction to the game system for recycling at a discount anytime and anywhere.

One more thing that needs to be explained is that the leader of the player only has the right to use the copy of the practice room that he has opened. As for the ownership, it belongs to the disciples of the whole sect and belongs to the public property. During this period, no matter whether the training room is sold to the disciples of the school or sold to the system for recycling, the recovered funds will be deposited in the public fund account of the sect instead of entering the player's own pocket.

This so-called "Sect Public Fund Account" is actually a sect account that is temporarily managed by the head of the sect for the construction of the sect and its daily operations. No matter what kind of formal channels the head of the sect obtains funds, such as poll tax, hardware Sales rental fees, etc., will be deposited as sect funds into a sect public fund account that all disciples of the sect can check at any time. The head player can only indirectly use the money in the sect public account to conduct various operations for the sect , and cannot be withdrawn, and its use is supervised by all disciples.

Therefore, don’t think that after the head of the player has control of the financial power, he can use the public for personal gain and do whatever he wants, and don’t think that the money of his disciples will flow into the pocket of the head of the player. With this “Sect Public Fund Account”, although corruption cannot be completely eliminated The occurrence of a class of vicious events, but at least to a certain extent, it can limit the abuse of public funds by the player leader and increase the transparency of the use process.

In addition to the above two main ways of accumulating funds for sect building, sect leaders can also raise funds through other methods, such as selling various sect secret books and learning permissions for martial arts tricks in the form of buying and selling.

As we all know, in the past, players had to use a certain amount of sect contribution points to obtain martial arts secret books or learn martial arts tricks from their masters. Now, after the sect system has been upgraded, the head of the player can prepay some money through the sect financial management system. Money is used to buy martial arts cheats from the game system, and then handed over to the NPC responsible for distributing martial arts cheats to increase the price for sale. It can also directly increase the amount of martial arts contribution points required to learn martial arts tricks, and earn the difference in the middle martial arts contribution points.

Here we still take the Emei School as an example.

Feng Lin only needs to take out 50 martial arts contribution points from her martial arts fund account, and then she can purchase a copy of "Linji Twelve Villages" through the game system, and the player can receive a copy of Emei School's top internal strength "Linji" from Master Fengling. Fenglin can adjust its sales price between one time and five times the cost price.

That is to say, if Feng Lin is kinder, she can sell it at a price of 50 martial arts contribution points, which is equivalent to the price of the middle-level martial arts cheats of the previous martial arts. However, if Feng Lin is a little greedy, she can adjust the price up to 250 million. Points of sect contribution, if converted according to the current market exchange price of gold and sect contribution points, Feng Lin can earn at least 30 taels of gold for every copy of "Linji Twelve Villages" sold, and at most 200 million taels of gold.

If the player wants to learn the ultimate trick of "Linji Twelve Villages" after learning "Linji Twelve Villages", he will have to spend another 100 million points of martial contribution, and Fenglin can also be within the range of one to five times. Adjusting the cost of his study is equivalent to earning a lot of martial art contribution points from it.

Of course, these are only theoretical data, and the price difference earned will be automatically transferred to the sect fund account. Feng Lin can't get cash, and Feng Lin can't do anything if she wants to buy and sell privately to earn some private money. After all, this During the process, all financial statements were made public to her disciples, and she could only trade at a fair price at most, and it was impossible to speculate.

What needs to be specially explained here is that the Martial Fund account is composed of two accounts of different nature, one is an account stored in units of gold, and the other is an account stored in units of martial contribution points. The ratio of 1:1 and 2:1 is mutually applicable, that is to say, the head of the player can exchange 1 tael of gold in the fund account for 2 points of martial contribution in the martial contribution account through the system, but in turn, 2 points of martial contribution It can only be exchanged for 1 point of martial contribution, and whether it is martial contribution or gold, it can be used as a martial fund.

Speaking of this, I have to mention the nature of the contribution points of the sect. Generally speaking, the use of the contribution points of the sect is similar to the use of gold. It can be used to upgrade buildings, open functions, or use To buy various martial art props, there is no actual difference between the two.

But in essence, gold is still the only hard currency in the game, and the contribution points of the sect are only a special currency for the construction and development of the sect. The reason is that players , you can get additional rewards for the contribution of the sect from the game system, and after spending the contribution points of the sect through the sect system, if the player leader adopts the strategy of earning the difference, these contribution points of the sect will be stored in the account of the sect fund .

In other words, martial contribution points are essentially a kind of welfare currency provided by the game system for players. When players pay poll tax or purchase martial arts welfare facilities, they can use martial contribution points instead of gold for transactions. , In this way, the actual expenses of the players are greatly saved, and for the head of the player, making full use of the contribution points in the contribution account of the sect to develop the sect is also an effective means to avoid anger and resentment due to excessive expropriation .

Therefore, from the perspective of all the above income methods, in fact, the wool is still on the sheep. One is the "sheep" of ordinary players. The sheep of the game system, on the surface, has privatized the official sect to the head of the player, and recovered a large amount of game coins from the player and the head of the player, but in fact, due to the existence of the contribution points of the sect, it will at least Half of the wool was returned to the player, ensuring the normal operation of the game.

It can be seen from this that with the joint efforts of these two "sheep", it is actually not impossible for those players with insufficient financial strength to operate the sect normally, at least Fang Jie believes that, If a player's master's management, overall planning, marketing and other abilities are strong enough, even if he is poor and white, he will definitely be able to operate a sect normally, and even gradually develop into a giant. what fantasy...

(The new sect system is very large, and I can’t finish it all at once. This chapter has written more than 8000 words, and the rest will be explained in the next chapter, or I won’t be able to finish it today and have no time to update.)
