CHAPTER 465: CHAPTER 163: OVERCLOCKED DIVINE POWER, RATIONAL SOLUTIONS
But there is no doubt that this seems to be the most reliable choice among the three schemes.
It not only retains the players’ memories but also allows players to continue creating value in the Monster World, albeit completely severing all ties with reality afterward.
In fact, he doesn’t need to explain to any player and can directly reveal the truth about the Monster World.
But he didn’t want to disrupt the construction of his envisioned Player Corps and wanted to retain the creativity players should have.
The fourth solution is to make players into growth-type NPCs with different appearances, allowing them to integrate into the player community and fight together after retaining their memories.
Essentially, this is no different from a player.
But in other games, NPCs are an important component of the game world, and their presence has a profound impact on the game’s experience, narrative, and gameplay, enriching the game world view.
However, NPCs transformed from players are still essentially players, not natives, and can provide an extension of background knowledge.
They cannot provide store purchases, mission releases, skill learning, or a series of auxiliary tasks, nor can they drive the unlocking of the world’s exploration plot.
It’s essentially just a player with changed skin.
As this group gradually increases, players will be shocked to discover that player-like NPCs even begin to occupy the development space of ordinary players.
As players themselves, they can understand the competitive relationship between other players and themselves, but when NPCs from their own camp become competitors hindering their growth, it can severely affect the normal players’ gaming experience.
The Moon Eclipse Clan is bound to get flak.
As for designing them as "street-standing NPCs" to provide additional services to players.
The Challenger System he designed incorporated all features, whether it’s the store or other functions that can be summoned directly by the panel, with large accompanying functions including in-town functional buildings, making street-standing NPCs superfluous.
Choosing this way neither creates value nor utilizes players’ bodies, and it is better to decompose into sacrificial power and release more player qualifications.
The fifth solution, declaring to have mastered consciousness upload technology in the name of the Moon Eclipse Clan.
Players who have gained the Monster World can upload their consciousness to the game even if their real bodies die, to continue existing in a player’s way.
In the eyes of other players, the deceased player is still the same person.
The sixth solution....
How to choose, Qi Sheng fell into deep thought.
Is there a better alternative?
[Boss, how about gradually feeding back the game content to reality?]
Guidance’s words left Qi Sheng a bit stunned.
If it’s the players’ bodies in the game, their life span will be very long and will gradually increase as their strength grows.
Theoretically, as long as players can maintain a state of growth, their life span can approach infinity.
But if the abilities are fed back to reality, there is an obvious conflict with his envisioned Catastrophe Player Corps.
It loses the definition of the word "player."
Unpredictability, creativity, destructiveness, and collective action abilities make the Player Corps the most uncontrollable "catastrophe."
The method of feeding back abilities to reality and extending players’ life spans is indeed feasible but cannot be feedback in a way that reveals the truth.
Amid the surging thoughts, a brand-new idea emerged in Qi Sheng’s mind.
Is it possible to present this idea in another way?
For example, launching a life transformation project in the name of the Moon Eclipse Clan.
Players can participate in the transformation by consuming sacrificial power to improve their physical fitness and lifespan.
Essentially, this transformation project only reflects the game player’s attributes back to the real body, transmitting to the Monster World after each game login.
Assuming Player A participates in the transformation project and consumes N points of sacrificial power, they can obtain a 1% attribute feedback of the player’s body in the game.
Doing so can extend players’ real-life spans while allowing players to continue generating sacrificial power revenue in the Monster World.
However, only attributes are fed back, without accompanying Life Soul characteristics and other abilities.
Special abilities will only be fully opened to all players if the Black Tide crisis erupts on Earth and has affected the growth of the Player Corps in the Monster World.
However, after this technology emerges, it will inevitably cause a serious impact on real currency.
The price of sacrificial power will no longer just skyrocket.
After linking with real life spans and abilities, it will inevitably replace all currencies and become truly a resource-based currency.
The actual value that sacrificial power can purchase is enough to drive all races in the world crazy.
As for explanations, this doesn’t need to be explained at all.
The various races of the Earth Alliance do not know much about the Moon Eclipse Clan.
Yet, many of the technologies used by racial forces are provided by the Moon Eclipse Clan.
This is also the reason why, after the exposure of the Monster World game, the races of the Earth Alliance are shocked but can still understand it as a black technology of the Moon Eclipse Clan.
The genetic modification technology of the Moon Eclipse Clan is inherently powerful, and the Human Clan’s Genetic Warrior project originated from the primary genetic technology provided by the Moon Eclipse Clan, with the veteran player "Da Tie" being a Genetic Warrior who underwent genetic technology modification.
Therefore, life modification already has a technological foundation in reality.
The Moon Eclipse Clan is nicknamed the Upper Realm Beings by netizens of various races in the Earth Alliance. It is normal to master technologies unimaginable to other races.
In fact, every year, the Moon Eclipse Clan launches new technologies that make various races’ eyes light up.
So, this concept is entirely feasible.
As for the issue of continually extending lifespan and gradually exploding real population, there is nothing to worry about.
Insufficient resources, the Monster World will make up for it.
He even feels that a player scale of 15 billion is still too small for the Monster World.
The Reverse Tide Army consumes tens of billions of warriors in partial wars each year; with the resource scale of the Monster World, Earth’s population can rise enough to bear it.
As for the possible external doubts about why sacrificial power is needed as the currency for life transformation, players will mentally fill in the blanks without needing an explanation.
In the briefing, the No. 1 Governor of the Moon Eclipse Clan already thoroughly explained the Star Network’s definition of the "Monster World" game, as a gift to the various races of the Earth Alliance and as the cornerstone of union among the Earth Alliance.
Even if the Moon Eclipse Clan does not say anything, there is no problem.
After all, the Moon Eclipse Clan never gives any explanation to the various races of the Earth Alliance when launching any new technology or project.
Just like after the Dark Land release, when various races request additional qualification quotas, the Moon Eclipse Clan never pays attention.
He can even add some consumption goods to improve real problems based on this technology.
For example, holding a monthly auction for items on Earth in the name of the Moon Eclipse Clan.
Items can be life-extension drugs, special resources, and new technologies, allowing players to bid with sacrificial power to buy them.
After launching the real auction mode, it can even replace fraud methods like lotteries, prize wheels, and blind boxes in the game to recover sacrificial power.
For example, a bottle of Basic Blood Replenishing Potion costs 10 points of sacrificial power in the Monster World.
But auctioning it for ten thousand points in reality would not be too much because it can solve real physical issues.
Whenever lacking sacrificial power, just open a real-life auction, allowing players to willingly pay for premium services.
