The Purpose of the Game and the Design of the Mission
At this very moment.
In the Official Built-in Group.
A live broadcast is also underway.
The live stream content clearly showed Zhang San and three others completing a game mission.
"The Skyfall's Most Handsome: Fellow expert players, please feel free to offer suggestions for improving the quest process. Those whose suggestions are adopted will receive a reward from the game's official team."
What benefits?
"One set of purple-tier materials."
"Damn, that's really stingy," said Empty 2086.
"Could you be a little more generous and give me a Revival Stone?"
"Ah, this is not bad. For a newcomer, a suggestion gets you a purple-tier reward. Very satisfied," said Ah Kai District 47.
"District 47, the old island district, I'm in awe of you, sir! You must have been one of the earliest members? How come you only just got into this private group?" Riding the Wind to Beat Luo Shao in surprise.
"Hehe, I don't know why, suddenly after doing a task, it prompted me to join the built-in group. Strange, why are you all from the new island region?" Ah Kai District 47 asked in confusion.
He looked around and realized that the group of twenty or thirty members were all from the new district.
It must be at least 1000 districts.
People like him in the two-digit range are extremely rare.
"We were puzzled too. We asked the administrator before, and the administrator said that the old members all had a way to be resurrected. For our own safety, we left the group," Empty 2086 explained.
Ah Kai suddenly realized, "I see, that explains it."
"It turns out that people from the old district have all left the group."
"It seems that once I master the Method of Revival, I will also have to leave. Indeed, this group makes it easy to establish connections, and where there are connections, there are curses."
Upon hearing this, the others suddenly realized what was happening.
"I see."
"Before, I thought the group benefits were amazing—500 years of lifespan plus one free resurrection per year—but now with Revival Stone, Safe Zone, and even the Longevity Water, it's become pretty useless."
"That's true. It's a double-edged sword. For the strong in the old districts, exposing themselves to the eyes of others is a major hidden danger in itself."
"That's right, this is a potential problem, we can't do it this way."
At this point, someone said, "Alright, alright, let's not get off-topic."
"Now, back to the main question: what suggestions do you have for this task? I think we should first ask your Operations and Planning: what was your purpose in creating this task?"
"Yeah, are you trying to Screening Players, train them, or just Giving Benefits to Retain Players?"
At this moment, the administrator "The Skyfall's Most Handsome" spoke up:
"The goal is to see which players can proactively discover the anomalies they encounter during this mission."
"It means being able to detect abnormalities in one's own memory during the mission."
"Any player who can detect anomalies will be Objects of Key Cultivation and Observation."
"They will gain access to Additional Exchange Channel Revival Stone."
Upon hearing this, everyone's hearts stirred.
This is Revival Stone!
The hardest form of Hard Currency today.
Just like how the Stone of Jordan is used as an equivalent in Diablo 2 Battle.net Trading, the Revival Stone has recently become General Equivalent in the auction house for High-end Items and Equipment, materials, and even skills.
After all, you never have to worry about inflation with this kind of thing.
Some people might complain about having too much food and it will rot if they can't finish it, but who would complain about having too much life?
At this point, someone spoke up, "Then this improvement is simple."
"You need to give some hints, some clues."
"We can't just Resetting the Target's Memory so abruptly, without any warning, and even lower their intelligence, like we did just now."
"In this way, you've turned talented and promising players into idiots."
"Yes, there's not a single clue. Even the Detective Poirot, Sherlock Holmes, and Di Renjie couldn't solve it."
"That's right, that's exactly it."
That's just the way it is.
The administrator somewhat agreed with what the others said.
"What kind of hints should we give? For example?"
"It's very simple, resetting memories like this places too high a demand on the player."
"It should be like letting players experience an Infinite Dreamscape, allowing them to deduce from certain details that they have had their Memory Reset."
"For example, in a dream, a top can keep spinning, but in reality it won't."
"You can tell if you're dreaming by watching the top spin."
"And it's the same now; we need to give players a way to discover that their memories have been reset."
"That makes sense."
"But what method should we use?"
"That's simple. For example, an item's State Change every certain period of time. When a player finds that their Memory Reset, the result doesn't match the item's current state."
"For example, his initial memory was that the item was red, but after a period of time, the item has turned green."
"After his memory is reset, he will believe the item is red, but it turns out to be green."
"He'll start to doubt whether he's remembered correctly. As similar incidents happen more often, he'll discover a huge discrepancy between his memory and reality."
"Many things should have already happened, but the outcome doesn't match my initial memory."
"In this way, he can guess that his memories have been tampered with."
"For example, if his hands and feet are injured, but in his initial memory, his body was intact, then he could also discover that his memories were incorrect. Why don't his memories match reality?"
The administrator nodded repeatedly.
At this point, someone else asked, "If that's the case, what exactly are you trying to achieve by selecting these players?"
"Heh, the selected players will naturally have to deal with even greater anomalies, and with this world."
"Everyone knows, the conflict between us and the imperial court is inseparable, and the conflict with the strange forces is also irreconcilable. Sooner or later, we will have to confront them in a full-scale battle," said the Skyfall's Most Handsome.
"So, what's most terrifying for us is that the supernatural has altered our memories."
"Wouldn't it be ridiculous if a loyal warrior were suddenly altered in his memories and turned into a weirdo, or into someone working for the imperial court?"
Everyone nodded. "I see."
"It seems that the first thing to overcome is the Mental Defense."
"Furthermore, it is important to promptly identify and correct any errors in your memory."
They understood.
People with this trait will become the focus of the game's development program.
They will be part of the game's Core Team.
If Gao Linzhi knew about this, he would understand why the other party had arranged the mission in that way.
Why did you have to put Zhang San and the other three through all that trouble?
The purpose was actually quite simple.
This is to filter out players who can proactively discover that their memories have been altered.
These people are very important to the game.
They will be an important tool in the game for fighting the supernatural.
The game will also Resource Tilt to them.
I have to say, the game is really impressive.
