The Game System's Power: Updates Had Become More Frequent

This does not mean that the building is invisible.

Instead, everyone who sees it will be psychologically influenced to believe that it does not exist and will mistake it for a park.

It is also not visible among the electronic devices surrounding the building.

Electronic devices will only show that this is a park.

There is a saying, "The wise live in seclusion amidst the bustling city."

That's how this building is now.

At this very moment.

On the sixth floor of the building, in a small meeting room.

A group of people are discussing.

There were only three of them, two men and one woman.

They were all unremarkable, with ordinary appearances.

They are the mysterious operators of the Skyfall Game, and have never revealed any clues about themselves.

Only Gao Linzhi had seen a few of their peripheral members.

The male lead was about to speak when he said, "Gentlemen, we've already seen it."

"Facts have proven us wrong."

"Independent individuals are still very important."

"If it weren't for the independent players, we might have been kicked out of the Game System this time."

The second male lead nodded and said, "Mantou is right, we did make a mistake this time."

"We previously took the wrong approach, allowing Corporate Players to monopolize the game."

"Fortunately, we simply let it go, rather than deliberately supporting it."

"This still gives independent players some room to survive."

"Otherwise, this time, it might be completely impossible to continue operating."

The female lead, however, said smugly, "That's right, I've said it before, the talent of a free spirit is also very important."

There are no useless talents, only useless people.

"We need to propose a new ranking event to the Game System HarmonyOS. This event must be fair and free from interference from the offline influence of Corporate Players."

"That's true," the man nodded. "Unfortunately, we don't have higher game control; we only have the right to make suggestions and provide some design proposals."

"The dog system is just stupid. It doesn't understand which strategy is more advantageous. It's not perfect and is not at all like an ancient, advanced intelligent system."

Just as Gao Linzhi had suspected, there was indeed someone hiding behind the scenes of the Skyfall Game.

They just kept a low profile.

Because they are similar to operating companies; they only have the ability to make suggestions, but they don't have the authority to modify code or change versions.

They cannot directly interfere with the core source code.

In fact, this is similar to virtual online games in ancient novels.

One important setting is that game companies do not have the ability to modify internal game data, nor can they control Game Character.

This is to ensure fairness.

All game processes and game versions are generated and evolved automatically by the Game System's intelligent core.

From the players' perspective, this is fair...

They certainly don't know that AI itself does not represent fairness.

Because AI also has its own purpose.

Just like chess AI, can it be considered fair when compared to its opponent?

No.

AI doesn't exhibit fatigue or emotional fluctuations.

The same applies to this Skyfall Game system.

I will only accept some of their suggestions.

The second male lead nodded in agreement, saying, "We should strengthen the protection of independent individuals."

"It's a pity that we have to hide ourselves, and we can't expose ourselves either, so we can't directly step in to restrain those big companies."

"We don't have much power in reality."

"Compared to those big companies, it's still far behind."

"The Game System, while providing us with some assistance—we have some game slots and we know many of the game's mechanics—..."

"But there's no way to directly acquire high-level gaming talent, nor can one quickly cultivate overwhelming power."

The male lead said helplessly, "Yes, this Game System doesn't give us enough power to overthrow the current order ruled by large corporations."

"On the contrary, we need large corporations to maintain the real economic order to facilitate the Game System's invasion of the Skyfall World."

The female lead added, "In short, we must now strengthen the protection of independent individuals."

"Previously, we all thought that Corporate Players were the mainstream; Corporate Players were fearless, had strong execution and enforcement capabilities."

"Corporate Players are efficient and financially strong, so they can act as our front men."

"But now it seems that relying on just a few Corporate Players is far from enough to achieve the goals the Game System wants."

"This time it's extremely dangerous."

"Its power is bizarre; it's definitely not something the Game System can easily crush."

The man nodded and said, "So we must change our approach."

"We must strongly suppress a group of high-level Company Executive Players and completely crush them."

"We can no longer allow them to persecute independent individuals at will."

"There is a very critical situation: the Company Executive Players are still secretly hunting down casual players."

"Although, on the surface, the United Association prohibits hunting freelancers."

"However, the United Association lacks enforcement power, making it extremely difficult to get Company Executive to overcome their own profit-driven impulses."

"Yes, one game qualification represents one extraordinary powerhouse. Even if large companies have enough slots, it's still scarce for small and medium-sized companies."

"Currently, the total number of players is only over six million, which is still a scarce number compared to a population of over ten billion."

"Furthermore, the arrival of these strange occurrences has made game access even more valuable, since having game access allows you to hide in the Safe Zone of the game world."

"We must implement mandatory restrictions through game ranking events."

"The announcement we issued previously had another drawback: it was easy for loopholes to be exploited. For example, Company Executive Players could hire NPC puppets or in-game natives to hunt down casual players."

"Yes, we don't have direct access to players' game data, so we can't achieve real-time monitoring."

"If we could obtain player big data, those Company Executive Players wouldn't be able to act with such impunity."

The female lead complained, "Ultimately, it's because the Game System is an incomplete version; it has too little constraint on player behavior."

"That's right. We can't control the Game System right now. We can only offer suggestions and let the system's AI accept and resolve them."

"It's called artificial intelligence, but it's actually artificial stupidity."

"It only occasionally heeds our advice; most of the time, it does things its own way."

"Take the issue of in-game purchases for example. We've raised it before, asking them to open a player shop and a payment channel, but they refuse to provide that. They've only given one player the Pay-to-Win Talent."

"This is infuriating! If we could just spend money on in-game purchases, everything would be so much simpler."

After discussing it, the three operators made a final decision.

"We've designed a plan that emphasizes offline protection."

"The online protection for players will be largely resolved after the update."

"The biggest problem now is offline, especially protecting the families of offline players."

"This is troublesome."

"It's fair to say that most companies are eagerly searching for the true secrets of games, and we should pay attention to that as well."

"Before, they couldn't find them no matter how hard they searched, but now that they have superhuman abilities, our covert measures are probably no longer effective."

"After all, these people have grown rapidly through the Game System."

"Our methods of concealing ourselves will probably be discovered very soon."

"We just learned some skills in advance through the Game System; in essence, we're no different from those players."

"Those damn bastards, in the end, it could be cracked with just one move: bind their game qualifications to their souls, and they won't drop them even if they die."

"What a pity, that Game Poster seems to be a very important item; it's the only way to register in the Game System, making the game qualification extremely expensive."

"Furthermore, Game Poster can no longer be printed. I asked the Game System, and the total number is only 23 million, with 6 million already distributed. Therefore, the Game System will not bind them."

The female lead then said, "Actually Game System can't do anything about it either."

"If a player binds their account to the Game Poster but doesn't play it properly and only does casual gameplay, then it's a waste of a valuable game account."

"Yes, everyone knows that if a job is monopolized, the person in that job will quickly fall into a state of slacking off and will definitely not work hard."

"Only when positions are constantly being eliminated will those in charge feel pressure and be motivated."

By the end, all three of them felt helpless.

Ultimately, it comes down to the fact that the number of players the game can support cannot be expanded indefinitely.

Unlike regular games, you can't register as many accounts as you want.

If you don't log in, you won't waste game resources.

In this Skyfall Game, each game qualification represents a valuable human resource.

Therefore, it's impossible to keep someone bound forever. If you don't play well, you'll be defeated or even killed by others.

Therefore, in order to become powerful and to survive, one must play the game well.

If you're a casual player, there's simply no way you can play for an extended period of time.

Because you'll soon be hunted down and lose your chance to play.

They tried many methods, but most of them proved to be ineffective upon closer examination.

Most importantly, the Game System doesn't belong to them.

They don't have a strong ability to control games.

Just think about it, and you'll understand how precious a game qualification is when faced with enormous profits.

Having a game qualification signifies being an extraordinary powerhouse.

Moreover, they are powerful beings who can freely absorb blood to weaken others.

The three of them knew very well.

This mission, however, highlighted the necessity of Rogue Players.

But they acknowledge this point.

However, most companies still don't really care.

They still care about their own immediate interests.

On the contrary, they must believe that even without the laziest person in the world, there would be another player who could solve this problem.

They thought and thought, but still couldn't come up with a solution.

"We can only offer suggestions to the Game System."

"Add a Guest System, meaning one game pass can bring several or even a dozen guests."

"This way, players can bring their family members into the game's Safe Zone."

"The Safe Zone has now expanded."

"Ultimately, we don't control the core of the game. If we could control the core game code, we could solve the current problem simply by making a change."

"For example, we could increase players' PK (player kill) value, prohibiting Red Name players from entering villages. Or, we could make Game Poster randomly drop anywhere on Blue Star after a player dies, instead of dropping them nearby."

"Yes, we made this suggestion a while ago, but unfortunately the Game System didn't accept it or update the feature."

"Perhaps, it's simply incapable of doing that."

"If it can send players to another world, can't it send a Game Poster thousands of miles away? Even ten miles away would be great."

"That's true."

The three operators shook their heads.

"Alright, let's continue with our suggestions," the male lead said. "We suggest providing PvP protection for players below level 40, preventing them from being harmed by other players."

"At the same time, players below level 10 are prohibited from attacking each other. If their strength and experience are insufficient, they are not allowed to leave the Safe Zone. They can obtain basic experience through quests. Of course, this newbie protection only lasts for one month to prevent players from getting stuck at level 10 without leveling up."

"In this way, Rogue Players below level 10 can be guaranteed safety."

"Yes, one more suggestion: introduce Return Scroll so that players can quickly return to Safe Zone when they encounter danger."

"It should be cheaper than Revival Stone."

"Yes, it can provide more convenience for these Rogue Players; Revival Stone are still expensive."

"For example, players can have three free resurrections per day."

"Well said, let's give our suggestions quickly."

To the three of them's utter surprise, all their suggestions were accepted this time.

They were naturally unaware that this was because the two worlds had undergone tremendous changes, and the Game System had gained more power...

The game announcement was released again just two hours later.

"Bite!"

"Dear players, in addition to releasing expansion packs, we will also be providing many new player benefits over the next three months."

"Each player will have three free resurrections per day."

"After respawning, you will appear in your chosen Safe Zone."

"We highly recommend Safe Zone, 3078, and 219 Safe Zone Wolf Snake Island 3081..."

Good heavens, the players were immediately shocked when they saw the recommended Safe Zone.

"Look, even the Game System has approved it."

"These Safe Zone seem to be quite secure."

Wolf Snake Island quickly became famous.

This is quite natural.

After all, under Gao Linzhi's influence, few large companies dared to hunt Ordinary Player on Wolf Snake Island.

They were also worried that Gao Linzhi cause trouble for them.

Gao Linzhi, however, didn't care about this.

However, he keenly noticed that the Game System seemed to have become much more powerful.

This can be seen from the fact that the other party updates frequently.

Clearly, the other party has acquired a significant amount of the World Source.

As for how it was obtained, it was probably obtained by repelling the imperial court's attack.

This was also because the imperial court did not genuinely send anyone to fight, and instead chose to back down.

In this advance and retreat, the Game System has clearly acquired a considerable amount of its original power.
