Starfall world.
After New Cassini, the second city "Neon Harbor" laid out by Wei Shan is on the right track.
The preliminary test of the agent model made him very satisfied.
The output models of the two cities are also fundamentally different.
The background of New Cassini is survival dilemma.
In this city that was semi-ruined after the invasion of the End-Law Clan, the residents have to face the reality of energy shortage and lack of materials every day when they open their eyes. The environment they live in makes them survive in the apocalypse every day.
They challenge Nightmare Trial Ground, essentially for survival.
In order to get rewards and ensure that you and your family have clean water and food, you have to endure the hardships in the dungeon.
This will to fight for survival is like a layer of natural armor.
The cruelty of reality already exists, so the horror experience in virtual scenes actually weakens the output of scare value.
But it's not without its advantages.
A mechanism that can be redeemed for rewards keeps residents' participation stable.
They will not give up challenges easily and will try their best to face their inner fears.
The disadvantage is that holding on for survival will greatly weaken the purity of fear.
Just like a group of survivors in the desert who are extremely hungry and thirsty, they will flock to it even if they can drink salt water, which can at least temporarily relieve the current pain.
Therefore, the overall shock value output of New Cassini is considerable, but the individual output is low.
Neon Harbor's model is completely different.
This city, which has not been affected by the war, is rich in material resources but poor in spirit.
Young people's desire for excitement has long been engraved in their bones.
They walked into the Nightmare Experience Hall in pursuit of more exciting experiences.
The mentality of coming for vanity and stimulation makes them far less tolerant of fear than New Cassini.
Without the shackles of survival pressure, their emotions are like undefended dams. Any disturbance in the virtual scene can trigger huge waves.
The advantage of Neon Harbor is that the individual output of the scare value is very high. Every heart-rending scream is worth the forbearance of multiple residents of New Cassini in the scene.
But the disadvantages are also obvious.
Their enthusiasm comes and goes quickly. Once a scene loses its freshness, it will recede like the tide. Lex needs to constantly use new copies to maintain its appeal.
Another benefit of the agent model is the agent itself.
Lex is a native resident of Neon Harbor.
He clearly knows what young people are chasing, what they are afraid of, and what kind of terror can accurately penetrate their nerves.
There is no need for Wei Shan to spend energy studying local culture, the agent itself is the best calibrator of horror scenes.
This kind of understanding of current society and personal experience of the growing environment are far more useful than searching for information.
After granting scene editing permission, it is equivalent to turning on the "automatic update" mode.
Lex will run Nightmare Experience Hall better and better, bringing him more fright value benefits.
With an agent, he can act as a hands-off shopkeeper.
From setting up the scene, to dealing with challengers, to updating the horror dungeon... it's all done by the agent.
This means nearly zero-cost content iteration.
He only needs to receive the shock value and occasionally throw out some Monster World small toys, so that Lex can willingly open up the market for him. The agent model is originally an experiment in decentralization.
The preliminary test was a great success.
As for which model we will move towards in the future, we don't need to make a decision yet.
He has plenty of time to wait and see which of the two modes is better, or whether both modes should be retained.
For the layout of Small World, you don't have to choose one from the other.
However, there are also problems that need improvement in the agent mode.
That is how to quickly send the exchange items to the agent when the agent redeems the items in the Nightmare Store.
He cannot stay in Small World anytime and anywhere.
Monster World is his main battlefield.
This is different from Wish Monster Soul. Players who plan for the doomsday Small World only need to have a priesthood in Small World.
Even if they do nothing, even if they are in Monster World, they can still continue to gain the power of Wish.
But the agent model he laid out is different.
He cannot predict when the agent will need to redeem rewards, nor can he stay in the city where the agent is located anytime and anywhere. There is currently no solution to this problem that can be completely let go.
He plans to set a time in the future, such as the day of each month to redeem rewards.
After the time is fixed, on this day he will transmit Small World from Monster World and issue redemption rewards to the agent.
He has been in Neon Harbor for some time now. He will return to New Cassini as soon as possible to check the development there.
There are still many matters that he needs to be responsible for in terms of urban construction planning and resource allocation.
Flying at full speed on the vehicle's flying skateboard, Wei Shan soon returned to the city above the ruins of New Cassini.
In the next two days, Wei Shan traveled around the city.
Check the recovery status of various facilities and the increase in daily resource output.
It is different from the agent custody model of Neon Harbor.
As the manager behind the scenes of this city, he feels that he has endless tasks to handle.
As soon as I came back, I found a lot of trouble.
The farmland to the east was contaminated by radioactive dust when End-Law Clan invaded, and the surface soil turned into gray-black hard lumps. Not even weeds could grow, let alone crops.
This kind of land only treats the symptoms but not the root cause by spreading Monster World's spiritual soil.
The function of spiritual soil is to speed up growth, but the food grown is contaminated by radiation and cannot be eaten at all.
He chose to seek help from his own mall for this problem and purchased some Purification props.
The land was carefully cleaned to remove all energy radiation.
After confirming that there was no problem, another problem occurred at Gear Gang.
It means that many engineering equipment cannot be started at all due to lack of energy modules.
Although the energy module factory still exists, the prerequisite for continued production is to repair the engineering facilities.
But without the energy module, the mechanical equipment for repair cannot be started.
There was no other way, so Wei Shan had no choice but to buy Energy Crystal from the mall, use the telekinesis converted from mental power to shape it into the size of an energy module and try to start the mechanical equipment.
As a result, the energy output was too large, and a mechanical equipment was instantly charged.
Wei Shan had no choice but to change the plan and consult the forum information to learn more about the output efficiency of Energy Crystal.
Then purchase the energy carving knife from the mall, embed Eagle Head Demon Monster Soul to carve three new energy tracks for Energy Crystal.
This solves the problem of missing energy modules.
What's even more troublesome is that many engineering equipment lack precision parts.
There is no substitute for it in this ruin.
Wei Shan had no choice but to ask Arms Dealer Guild for help, spending money to buy the parts made by players and install them for use.
If you encounter parts that really don't fit, you have to find the more professional Detailed Study Faction team. They are professional hand rub experts.
As long as you give Sacrificial Power, many problems can be solved.
Many problems in this ruined city depend on his blood transfusions.
At least before industrial capacity can be completely restored, he must personally assist in development.
Only when the entire city completely enters a stable operating state can he escape from it.
In the evening, he stood on top of the half-restored energy station and looked at the scattered lights lit by residents in the distance.
Those lights flickered on and off, like fragile fireflies, but they made him feel heavier than Neon Harbor's neon lights.
Neon Harbor's Lex only needs to worry about whether the nightmare scene is scary enough, and what he faces here is the real need for survival. The only good thing is that the shock value output of this city is 28 times that of Neon Harbor.
And it is still in the period of explosive growth, so there is basically no need to worry about the subsequent shock value output.
It's a bit bitter and a bit tiring, but at least there is hope for the future.
In the next two days, Wei Shan was still busy at New Cassini.
On this day, as soon as I finished the work at hand, a subordinate came to report in a hurry.
It means that the Iron Hand Gang in the Southern District secretly withheld part of the food and water that should have been distributed to the challengers.
Some residents resisted and were beaten in the arm.
Hearing these words, Wei Shan suddenly became angry.
After careful inquiry, I learned that similar incidents had secretly occurred several times.
These small movements are like bubbles in the tide, constantly popping up.
The specific reason is not difficult to understand Wei Shan.
The gang leader at that time was still trying to intimidate him, but the subordinate leader could no longer hold back.
They have never seen his methods outside of nightmare scenes with their own eyes. Perhaps they only think of him as a character who relies on "dream creation" to bluff people, and feel that the city cannot function without them.
After all, it is these gang members who are responsible for cleaning up the ruins and maintaining order.
In order to solve this problem, Wei Shan asked his subordinates to call all the leaders and subordinates of the eight major gangs to the abandoned mining area of East District in the city. This time, he wanted to completely solve this problem.
While waiting, the leaders and members of the eight major gangs arrived one after another.
Wei Shan stands in the air, and every time his eyes sweep over a face, the other person will lower their head.
When all the members arrived, he cast his gaze not far away.
There is a scrapped mining machine parked here. The steel body, which is more than ten meters high, is stained with rust, but it gives off a sense of oppression. There are still deep ravines on the ground where the tracks have run over.
Wei Shan raised his right hand at this moment and pointed at the mining machine.
Suddenly there was a tooth-aching sound of metal friction.
The hard alloy shell of the mining machine seemed to be grasped by invisible giant hands, and it instantly dented inward.
Mars burst out from the twisted folds of steel.
The behemoth, which was more than ten meters high, continued to shrink as Wei Shan's five fingers slowly closed together.
The crawler tracks, drill bits, and cab are squeezed together like paper balls.
The originally sharp metal edges have also been ground into blunt arcs.
Seeing this scene, all the gang members' eyes widened, and some even took a step back subconsciously.
Wei Shan slowed down the progress of compression, letting the sound of metal friction ring in the ears of every gang member Roar.
After a minute, Wei Shan let go.
The round metal ball that was lifted in the air suddenly fell to the ground, making a dull sound, and even the ground trembled.
After doing all this, Wei Shan smiled and turned to look at the pale-faced leaders:
"New Cassini is short of people to work, but there is no shortage of disobedient trash."
His eyes scanned every face:
"Now think about it carefully, which one is stronger, your flesh and blood, or the mining machine."
Hearing these words, members of all the major gangs felt guilty.
They knew that the various weapons they used were no different from toys in front of the terrifying life in human form. The other party wanted them to die, but they tried their best but could not cause any harm to it.
"From today on, I don't want to hear anyone secretly deducting resources. Except for the part you gave me for your work, if you want extra resources, you have to challenge Nightmare Trial Ground. Next time, let me know who is doing something secretly. You... including your person in charge, please write a suicide note in advance." Wei Shan's voice was not high, but it hit the hearts of the major gang members.
"Remember, whether I'm here New Cassini or not, you all must abide by my rules, otherwise I will come back to liquidate you."
"Next time anyone wants to try it, remember this scene."
After saying this, Wei Shan swung towards the metal ball.
Suddenly, the power of thought turned into a sharp blade, instantly cutting the metal ball into hundreds of steel pieces.
"Now, go back to work."
Wei Shan waved his hand, as if to drive away something insignificant:
"Don't make me repeat it a second time."
After saying that, Wei Shan took the lead and turned around and flew high into the sky, leaving a group of gang members frozen in place.
It wasn't until Wei Shan's figure completely disappeared that anyone dared to take a deep breath.
The sun was still dazzling, but the flattened and cut piece of scrap metal was like a silent warning, making everyone panic.
The current leader of Wild Wolf Gang turned around at this moment and glanced at his subordinates with a ferocious expression:
"Send everything back and don't make it difficult for me. I don't want to die because I'm implicated."
After hearing these words, the leaders of other gangs also spoke out and lectured one after another.
It is required that all the resources that were secretly stolen before are returned, and similar incidents will never be allowed to happen again in the future.
The purpose of Wei Shan's choice of joint liability is precisely to enable the leaders and leaders of major gangs to manage their subordinates well. This demonstration is also to warn them that if there is a next time, the consequences will be very serious.
Because their behavior has affected their own fright value income.
The trust that was finally built will be lost due to secret deductions by gang members, and re-establishing trust will be a long process. If New Cassini wants stability, sufficient resources alone are not enough.
These people must know who has the final say in this city.
After ending the intimidation, Wei Shan returned to the energy city in the city and entered a busy state again.
It gave him the feeling that the whole city was full of exclamation points, requiring him to trigger and complete it.
This is just a city.
With its current capabilities alone, it is difficult to develop multiple cities at the same time.
Only by mobilizing a "summoning mutual aid group" as soon as possible can this problem be completely solved.
It is far easier for everyone to make a fortune together than to work alone in Small World.
To clarify the idea, Wei Shan calls up the forum interface.
Not long after, a post was posted on the player forum:
[Friends are sincerely invited: Small World's frightening business, making huge profits]:
Posted by: Invincible Summoner.
Content:
Dear fellows who have both beauty, strength and wisdom, I have made it through the Summoning Stream road.
There was a lot of discussion about the fright Monster Soul some time ago, but the problem lies in the method of obtaining the fright value.
I see that many forum leaders have tried various methods, but they have not been able to find a channel that can continuously produce shock value.
But today, I officially announce that I have found this path.
The inspiration comes from the doomsday Small World that many top guilds plan together to harvest the power of Wish.
At that time, I was wondering if I could use a similar method to harvest the fright value in Small World.
After asking about Guidance, I locked on Meteor World.
It turns out that this world that was invaded half a year ago is very suitable for generating shock value.
Without further ado, let's get straight to the practical stuff.
At present, I have captured two cities in the Starfall world, using agent mode and survival pressure mode respectively.
Among them, New Cassini relies on survival pressure to steadily produce frightening value, while Neon Harbor relies on stimulating experience to burst into harvest.
After testing, both methods are feasible.
Especially the agent model, which allows Small World natives to operate the horror industry independently, and we can earn fright points while lying down.
The average daily fright value turnover of both sides has exceeded 13,000 points when converted into Sacrificial Power. The monthly income of Sacrificial Power is close to more than 400,000, and it is still growing.
But I can't handle everything by myself.
Especially when using the nightmare Monster Soul to weave new horror scenes, updates cannot be stopped and a very high output is required.
There are still ten or hundreds of cities to be laid out in the future...
Now recruit a group of like-minded brothers and go to Small World to harvest the fright value and become the strongest summoner.
After this post was published, the popularity skyrocketed.
A large number of players poured into the post to leave comments.
There were many speeches of inspiration that were unexpected by Wei Shan, and some fellow villagers even had evil ideas.
There was one comment that made Wei Shan's skin crawl.
The player who posted this comment was very imaginative and came up with an alternative way to obtain fright points.
What he said is so evil that even Wei Shan dare not think about it deeply.
As a player, he is not afraid of death, but it is difficult to face this fear Resistance.
Hidden World of Books:
After reading the post, I was confused. Why does the original poster always want to weave horror scenes? Obtaining the fright value Definition is never horror. Well, what this Monster Soul wants is fright, and fright can be understood as panic, panic, terror, etc.
So why do you keep watching horror content?
Non-horror scenes can also produce fright value, and can even produce a higher fright value than horror scenes.
Let me give you a reference case.
Suppose you are a challenger of a nightmare scenario and you enter the Mirage I weaved.
What appears in front of you is a closed room with an area of only ten square meters. You are about to face eight large, muscular gay men with a height of two meters and dark skin. For the next hour, you will be yelling at the sky and the earth.
Imagine eight muscular men approaching you slowly, smiling meaningfully at you.
During this period, the macho men will take turns saying earthy love words to you with a subwoofer voice, "My brother's muscles are stronger than your desire to live, etc." I guarantee that you will be more frightened than in a horror scene, and the fright value produced will be several times that in a horror scene.
This kind of fright is also accompanied by strong helplessness.
It's a scare more terrifying than death.
So brother, don't be too rigid when weaving dream scenes, and don't limit yourself to horror content. I suggest you do more work.
This comment "scared" Wei Shan, but also opened up new ideas for him.
He suddenly understood why Di Nian Bully always called them: beastly players.
These fellows are indeed very evil sometimes.
To be against them, in addition to the physical confrontation, you also have to endure the mental torture.
Sooner or later, he will go insane. You can imagine the kind of mental pollution the bully experiences every day.
Soon after posting, the chat group formed by Wei Shan flooded in with a large number of players who wanted to take the Summoning Stream route and hope to jointly layout Small World. However, Wei Shan was not chosen by all players.
He decided to give priority to recruiting a group of capable players in the group chat.
Only a large number of capable players can work together to protect the next operation of Small World.
It eventually developed into something like the doomsday Small World, which continuously produced resource benefits for them.
The rise of Summoning Stream is just around the corner.
The hot topic Summoning Stream on the forum has also triggered discussions among Pet Stream players about future development.
The advantage of Pet Stream, which is built with the control of Monster Soul as its core, is that it does not require early layout or even expend a lot of energy to explore the output channels of special resources.
Except for your own players, all creatures can be captured and turned into pets.
Even Tidal Rebellion Legion's Counter-Tide God, in theory, has a chance of being captured and turned into a controlled pet as long as it is weaker than the player, is on the verge of death, and is unable to resist.
The investment in capture is very small, and there is no need to go through the training process.
What intensity it was when you caught it will be what intensity it is from now on.
The only drawback is that the growth potential of the target captured by Pet Stream is too low.
With the rapid improvement of players' strength, Pet Stream must constantly change pet types to improve the strength of pets. The most popular pet at that time was the extremely malleable Book Warrior.
However, the level of mainstream players is generally around 100. The level of Shuyan warriors has also improved in the past two years, but it is no longer able to meet the needs of players. Players who play the control flow want pets that can significantly increase their combat power.
Obtaining the Shuyan Warrior is not easy. You need to stay near the Shuyan area, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive in the early stage.
Successful capture failed to bring about a surge in combat power.
This is completely different from the time when players were generally level 30-50, but the captured Shuyan warriors had a combat power of 80+. The power of a Shuyan warrior at that time could single-handedly challenge a team of thousands of players.
Therefore, the price-performance ratio of Shuyan Warriors is getting lower and lower with the development of the camp.
The Summoning Stream road that was hotly discussed in the forum this time made Pet Stream players feel the crisis.
They are all servants of Combat System. The once famous Pet Stream seems to be about to be overtaken by the fast-rising Summoning Stream.
In order to solve the dilemma, players in the unpopular Pet Stream forum started a discussion.
I think it's time to find a new channel to obtain powerful pets and let Pet Stream rise again.
But if you want to obtain powerful pets stably, it's not that easy to find.
Some time ago, a lucky team opened a channel to capture Soul Beast.
Soul Beast has the ability to devour and evolve. This type of pet has extremely high potential and is equivalent to a growth-type pet.
But this channel has long been cut off by the Soul Return Clan.
As a result, the price of Soul Beast in the current market has tripled in a short period of time, and no player is willing to sell the Soul Beast they purchased at that time. The battlefield intensity of the Soul Return Clan and Tidal Rebellion Legion is too high.
It's not that no players have tried to capture them on the battlefield, but the intensity of the battlefield is too high, and players cannot resist even the collision at the edge of the battlefield. Generally speaking, they will be swallowed up by the terrifying Spatial Rift within a few seconds.
To capture Soul Beast, more luck is needed, and it cannot be a stable source of pets.
Just when Pet Stream players were talking about it but couldn't find a suitable direction, a player came up with an idea.
The target is a force that has almost no popularity in the forum, but is deeply impressed by old players: the artifact clan.
