The Top Players Were Shocked-and Threatened to Quit!
At the same time.
The others also began handing in their respective items.
The rankings began to refresh rapidly.
The rankings kept changing.
The rankings on the Overall Ranking change so rapidly that it's dazzling.
However, no matter how the rankings change, the number one spot remains unchanged.
Half an hour later.
Other players' highest event score was only a little over 2000 points.
A score of over 2000 is actually not low.
After all, these materials are something that many Ordinary Player have never even heard of before.
They only found out they could get these materials after the game event was announced.
Because most people only have one life, they don't have the opportunity or the courage to go outside and farm monsters in large numbers.
All I can do is move bricks and buy a few monsters to farm.
However, obtaining these items requires certain prerequisites, and the drop rate is low.
So it's normal that you haven't seen it.
If the drop rate is less than one in ten thousand, it's normal to not get anything even after killing a hundred or so monsters.
At the same time.
In the Official Built-in Group.
Many experienced gamers have already reached a consensus.
"The case is solved; no more guessing."
"Yeah, I bet this Canxue powerhouse's talent is definitely related to spending money on in-game purchases."
"He's the only one who can recharge his account in this game."
"That's right, that's why we were able to invest so many sacrificial materials from the start, directly securing first place."
"Damn it, isn't this game incomplete? The in-game store is completely inaccessible. There's a recharge ad, but the recharge failed!"
"Why is it that his talent can be boosted?"
"We want to top up our accounts too!"
"That's right, I have a whole ton of gold stored up at home, but I just don't know where to put it!"
"Damn it, Number One Handsome in the World, admin, come out and explain! This is totally disrupting the balance!"
"Let's just all quit and let the pro play single-player by himself, @everyone," Empty 2086 said, holding his breath.
"That's right, how does he manage to have so many sacrificial materials?"
"They're not even going to act anymore!"
"Rough!"
"Come out, come out!"
"Administrator, come out!"
Almost every member was shouting.
Because of Gao Linzhi's score, it was practically an insurmountable chasm.
This is different from the last time we went out to sea.
Last time, I was able to use my professional advantage to steal a prize.
This time, I really have no tricks up my sleeve.
This was supposed to be an event to test your ability to farm materials. It was supposed to be about who could organize and command, but then suddenly a pay-to-win monster appeared.
Those who frequently play online games know one fact: there's really no way for free-to-play players and whales to compete.
One ranking list defaults to players who spend money on in-game purchases.
Their anger wasn't that Gao Linzhi could spend money on in-game purchases, but rather that only Gao Linzhi could spend money on in-game purchases.
They are not without gold; in fact, to be conservative, their gold is more than a hundred times that of Gao Linzhi.
Some people are actually agents of certain large companies.
Finally, the administrator, "The Number One Handsome in the World," spoke up:
"Dear players, player talent privacy is highly confidential within the game."
"Even I don't have the authority to know."
"I'm just a customer service representative from a game outsourcing company."
"Only official game personnel have access to this core data."
Upon hearing this, the crowd erupted in an uproar.
"Just as I thought, I knew you, the Number One Handsome in the World, weren't all that capable."
"Yes, this group doesn't even belong to him. He's just an administrator. People come and go, and he has no say in anything."
This coup forced the Skyfall's Most Handsome to expose his weaknesses.
There's no way to keep showing off without real ability, unless you're the protagonist with a lucky aura from the story that keeps you on a winning streak, like Zhang Haogu who rose through the ranks three times in a row.
He was unable to calm the crowd down.
"Can you get in touch with official game personnel?"
"If I could, I wouldn't expose my weaknesses; I would just keep showing off." The Number One Handsome in the World reverted to the tone of a normal gamer and said helplessly.
Everyone could understand this guy.
He's just an outsourced customer service representative; even if you drive him to his death, it won't make a difference.
They're expert players, after all; they know where the core of the problem lies.
Someone immediately said, "If you can't contact them, how did you become an administrator of this group?"
"Yeah, why did it have to be you?"
"Because after I activated the Game Poster, I received a notification from within the game inviting me to be an administrator of the Official Game Group, with the same benefits as you guys, how could I possibly refuse?" said the Number One Handsome in the World.
"I see. Aren't you afraid of being scammed?"
"This game is so amazing, even if he's cheating me, I'd willingly accept it."
Then someone else said, "That's really unfair to us."
"Yes, how do we contact the game's official team?"
"How can we continue playing like this?"
"Exactly, what's the point of playing? He can buy things from the store to participate in promotions, but we can't."
"Alright, you still want fairness? When you were kids, you had all sorts of summer camps and winter yacht trips, but did you ever see ordinary kids stop playing with you because of that?" Jiangnan1912 suddenly blurted out.
Seeing this, the Number One Handsome in the World quickly chimed in, "The words may be rough, but the reasoning is sound."
"No matter what, we have to play this game. Playing games is great; if it can solve the allocation problem, we should play more games."
"That's true, Kongkong, isn't your own talent also incredibly freakish?"
"That's right, I know what your talent is. It's the ability to reduce your own presence, an essential talent for stealing BOSS treasures," someone echoed.
Clearly, there are still people who want to curry favor with the administrator, who Number One Handsome in the World.
"And you, your talent is severe injury transfer. Once you are severely injured, you can immediately move to the safest place nearby."
"Your movement range can also increase as you level up. I heard it's already reached 10 kilometers now. Doesn't that mean you're practically invincible unless someone can kill you instantly?"
"With the Revival Stone, your talent is already incredibly overpowered."
With someone stirring things up, the resentment in the group dissipated considerably in an instant.
Some people, thinking about their own talents, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Yes, this kind of life-saving talent is amazing."
"I also know someone in our group who is born with a long lifespan."
"His lifespan is more than five times that of an average person; if an average person lives for 80 years, he could live for 400 years."
"Plus, we've given him a 500-year data lifespan, so he could live for 2900 years!"
"I wonder if the lifespan will also be increased by 5 times. If so, I can live an extra 2,500 years. Wouldn't that be even more overpowered?"
"That's right, that guy's talent is terrifying, but he doesn't have Immortality because he doesn't trust the game's official team and doesn't dare to join this group!"
Seeing the chaotic scene in the group, Empty 2086 couldn't help but feel angry.
"What are you all doing, meddling in this?"
"Now is a golden opportunity; we must find a way to contact the official team and fix the game's bugs."
"He can spend money on in-game purchases, but we can't. No matter how many strategies we have or how good our skills are, we still can't win!"
"That's right," Riding the Wind to Beat Luo Shao, "A bunch of idiots. If we don't solve the problem of recharging, we are just Ordinary Player. No matter how good we are at the game, we can't compete with the big spenders who recharge hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars."
No matter how sophisticated your tactics are, they can't compare to someone who throws money at the problem.
"I've been playing games for decades, and I've never seen an ordinary player outplay a whale (a player who spends a lot of money on the game)."
"Some people might outmaneuver the pros once or twice using tricks, but they can't win all the time. Some people like to disrupt the game and make the pros suffer every day, but the end result is that their accounts get banned!"
"If we can't also recharge, no matter how well you play, he can still make money. Tell me, when there's a conflict, who will the game developers side with?"
"When conflicts arise between us, which have actually happened several times already, haven't we always come out on the losing end?"
"Clearly, any game that wants to operate long-term will more or less favor high-spending players in its mechanics; this is determined by the game's core gameplay."
"At best, it's relatively fair, but if you're put on the same gambling table as a super-rich person who can recharge infinitely, and you're not allowed to cheat, even if you're a god, you still can't beat them."
Upon hearing this, everyone except Jiangnan1912 finally realized what was going on.
What they fear is not falling behind on any ranking list.
That's not really that important.
After all, many people don't necessarily need to be number one.
After all, the world's richest person only changes a few times.
They'd be lucky to dominate just one island.
What they feared was the words Riding the Wind to Beat Luo Shao: "Account ban!"
Their accounts cannot be banned!
Having experienced the joy of this real game, how could they possibly tolerate having their accounts banned?
That's absolutely unacceptable.
"No way, we have to spend money on in-game purchases too!"
"Yes, the Number One Handsome in the World, you have to find a way to open up recharge channels for us!"
"That's right, you don't want everyone in the group to leave, do you?"
"If we're not mistaken, your benefits are directly linked to the number of group members."
Someone succinctly pointed out the weakness of the "Number One Handsome in the World".
That's right, the reason he rushed out to explain was that he panicked when he saw everyone about to stop playing.
In reality, these people are unlikely to stop playing or leave the group.
However, since you can add back the items after canceling them, it's possible to cancel them all at once.
That was a huge mistake in his work.
He does indeed enjoy enormous benefits.
It's very simple; his lifespan benefit is based on the longest lifespan among all people.
In other words, the more members in the group, the more likely he is to enjoy lifelong benefits.
If a person doesn't have that, then he only has his original lifespan.
"Ah, if that's the case, then that's so unfair!"
"Those of us who honestly participate in the activities are destined to fall behind!"
The crowd then began to stir again.
"I've never seen an ordinary person outdo these big influencers."
The Number One Handsome in the World said helplessly, "You guys can be turtle spirits. There are many of you, so you can take turns squeezing out the resources."
"Let's release one or two lists for now."
"To show my understanding, and because I know how you feel, I'll give you a little compensation by revealing a game preview."
"These activities will continue to be carried out in a cycle, except for some temporary events."
"Things like the Grand Voyage, rituals, and monster sieges all happen in cycles."
"You can start preparing now."
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.
"That's true."
"In this way, as long as we occupy enough islands and accumulate enough resources, we won't be afraid of him anymore."
"Yes, our advantage is that we have more people."
Kongkong became furious upon hearing this.
"This brat is not worth discussing things with!"
"You bunch of idiots!"
"If we don't solve this problem now, the gap will only widen in the future. He might just show up and wipe us out!"
However, no one took his words to heart.
The main problem is that there's no way to contact the authorities right now.
In reality, nobody has this channel.
They searched countless places, countless people, countless connections, and countless organizations.
No one knows who developed this Skyfall Game, or why it was released into this world.
The problem is that even though it was launched, it was a defective product.
There is no resurrection, no recharge, no NPCs, and no Safe Zone.
It's so different from regular online games!
"So you can start saving up your items now. If you save up a lot, he naturally won't be able to beat you."
"Even if he can top up his account, the items he can buy with money are definitely limited."
"The game store should have purchase limits, otherwise he would have more than 120,000 points by now."
Hearing this, everyone quieted down for a moment.
And at this time...
"Pig Realm 3001," who rarely speaks, suddenly said:
"That doesn't make sense. If he uses gold to recharge, and the game store provides him with these materials, then why should we players have to work hard to upgrade the village ancestral hall?"
"Yes, by directly sourcing materials in bulk from the online store, we eliminate the middleman."
"That doesn't make sense."
"That's right. Since the game has an in-game store, you can just upgrade the ancestral hall yourself."
"Yes, we've figured it out with your game. You're trying to use the power of us players to conquer this world."
"But now that we have these sacrificial materials, why should we go through the trouble of gathering them?"
"Why not just create an unlimited exchange system, give all the gold to the Canxue whales, and let them exchange it themselves?"
"Yes, I just remembered, didn't we used to be able to exchange points for Revival Stone?"
"Why can't the game have an event where you can exchange gold for items?"
"That's right. If we can't make in-game purchases available for the Number One Handsome in the World, then let's try a different approach. Let's allow players to directly exchange gold for game items, just like this Sacrifice Event."
The Number One Handsome in the World did not answer.
Clearly, he hadn't been entirely truthful either.
Does he really believe him when he says he's a temporary worker?
"Damn it, that bastard is faking his death again."
"We must have hit the nail on the head; he has a way of organizing this event!"
"Damn it, find him and shoot him!"
"That's right. The fact that he pretended to be dead means he knew some inside information and wasn't just helpless."
"I suspect this guy is actually an operator for a DLC."
"In other words, although he is not the developer of the game itself, he has the authority to propose certain event plans and submit them to the game's official team for implementation."
"Yes, that explanation is reasonable."
"So he was also worried that we would quit the game."
