Hidden Rating Mechanism!

This silly Kaza was captured by the Green Vine Civilization after being defeated in the Tree Spirit Abyss Instance.

It then transformed into a weapon or tool of the Green Vine Civilization.

Later, when the Green Vine Civilization suffered a defeat in Lin Ye's Instance, Kaza was taken back by Lin Ye as a trophy.

With each change of hands, Kaza's personal statistics have become a thoroughly multi-handed commodity.

Eight-handed, bursting-with-juice stuff.

Actually, when Lin Ye first saw the weapon he had plundered, he couldn't help but laugh.

What value would it have to me to plunder one of these things?

But then I thought about it again, and realized that this thing actually does have some value.

Firstly, from a practical technological perspective, this Species Modification Technology could, to some extent, help the future evolution of Space Marines and Psionic.

Just now in the Instance, after seeing the Green Vine people's Plant Technology, Lin Ye had an idea: as he plunders more and more technology from other civilizations, could he add more characteristics to his own units...?

Of course, the technological significance is secondary; the key is its deterrent effect.

Because the Kaza who was plundered was not the Kaza of Azure Star, but the traitor Kaza, the Kaza who had been modified by the Green Vine Civilization, and who already possessed some of the characteristics of the Green Vine people.

If viewed through the traditional eyes of the Azure Civilization, it is actually an ugly monster.

Such trash must be placed in the most conspicuous position in the Instance, so that the people of Azure Star and the people of other civilizations in the Universe Arena can see the fate of traitors!

"Haha!" Alice laughed mischievously as well.

"Interesting! As expected of our owner, you have an amazing imagination!"

"I'll design a giant cage outside the Forbidden City in Earth Online and lock that damned guy Kaza inside!"

"Betraying his master, he must receive the harshest punishment in the Instance for all eternity."

As if her brain had been awakened, Alice began to have all sorts of sudden and whimsical ideas.

"Master, I've decided to forever preserve this NPC's memories with Instance update, so that he will forever feel the most genuine pain throughout the long river of time."

That's ruthless!

Artificial Intelligence truly possesses the ability to learn by analogy.

When it comes to being cunning and ruthless, she's second to none.

There are actually two types of Instance NPC. One is permanent memory, which means that the NPC's memory will be reset every time the Instance reopens.

In essence, NPCs in this model are just tools.

Another type is the renewable memory, which constantly updates itself based on the data collected each time Instance is opened. In a sense, such NPCs actually have autonomous lives.

In the Solar System Online Instance, only Ding Chang is an NPC with updatable memories.

If Kaza were set up as an NPC like that, he could indeed experience pain forever.

Feel the pain of being imprisoned for thousands of years.

"Okay, let's do it your way."

"This guy must receive the cruelest punishment!"

Lin Ye no longer cared about these minor details.

Since it doesn't affect the difficulty of the Instance at all, let Alice do whatever she wants if she wants to.

Lin Ye inspected the Creation Space again, and after confirming that there were no new discoveries or oversights, he exited the space.

Next, the most important thing for Lin Ye to do is to have a proper negotiation with Divine Firmament.

"Divine Firmament, I want to make some modifications to my Instance."

[Divine Firmament prompt: Honorable Civilization Guide, you are free to modify your Instance within the Creation Space —it's your prerogative!]

"I'm not referring to the content of the Instance, but rather the Instance mechanics."

"I want to know what methods can be used to break the limit of 1 million Star Yuan per Instance."

This is Lin Ye's biggest concern right now.

You can only get 1 million Star Yuan each time. It will take forever to accumulate tens of millions of Star Yuan.

Even if Azure Civilization launches 10 Instances operating simultaneously, it cannot guarantee that the Instances managed by the other District Head can achieve 1 million Star Yuan per instance.

This promotion process will be exceptionally long.

Of course, if you spend a lot of time on it, you can gradually accumulate enough to advance to the Star Yuan level, but what Lin Ye dislikes most is wasting time.

The reason he dared to negotiate with the Divine Firmament was that he had figured out that the Divine Firmament actually valued the presentation of various exciting Instance more than the balance of the War Zones.

It has always been this way!

In other words, all the rules are actually set by the Divine Firmament, and given enough conditions, the rules can be modified to a small extent.

[Divine Firmament Reminder: The 1 million Star Yuan reward/penalty is a basic rule of the War Zone 112, a target set based on the average Level of the War Zone, and theoretically cannot be modified!]

[But as Designer who created Stellar-level Instance on my first attempt, the Divine Firmament can reveal a deeper rule!]

[When War Zones are divided, they are integrated based on the combat strength of each civilization. If a civilization has enormous potential, far exceeding the strength of other civilizations and the maximum strength of War Zone, then the allocation of War Zones is actually unreasonable.]

[Only if you prove that your Instance is far superior to the War Zone's Level, and that your civilization shouldn't have been assigned to this War Zone, can this basic setting be changed! The ultimate goal is to allow civilizations that don't belong to this War Zone to advance and leave as quickly as possible!]

[...]

Sure enough, there was a hidden mechanism at play.

Although it was explained in a complicated way, Lin Ye understood the reasoning immediately.

This is clearly the Hidden Rating Mechanism from some ranked games on my previous life on Blue Star.

When allocating War Zones, it is impossible to fully analyze a civilization, and it is also impossible to rule out the possibility that some civilizations may suddenly erupt.

This results in some civilizations having a very high actual hidden score.

Under this mechanism, a civilization with a high hidden score can achieve a higher score in a single match than an average civilization.

Then leave the War Zone as quickly as possible.

Skilled players should challenge even more skilled players; don't stomp on weaker opponents in lower-ranked matches and ruin the gaming experience for others.

To put it simply, the War Zone mechanism of the Divine Firmament works on the same principle.

After hearing Divine Firmament's explanation, Lin Ye smiled and let out a long sigh of relief.

They really did leave an opening!

If that's the case, then things become much easier to handle.

"Divine Firmament, then please tell me, how can you prove that your Instance far surpasses the average strength of the War Zone?"
