I am GSD, a sword that explodes stars

Chapter 86: Sunk Cost Caution

In Fengling Dojo.

After trying to practice sword moves for a while at night, Tingfeng had a general idea of ​​what he was doing.

As players, they can easily get started with a profession and master some skills, but they cannot tell whether they can use the skills proficiently and apply them in siege dungeons.

They still need a lot of practice to allow the body to gradually form a kind of muscle memory.

In the ever-changing battlefield of fighting monsters, you must fight for your life with more precise timing and dexterity.

So as long as you practice hard, no matter what profession you are, you shouldn't be killed instantly as soon as you enter a dungeon.

After understanding this, he found the Fengling Dojo gym owner, Glenn Freys, and explained his thoughts.

"My old friend entrusted you to me in the hope that you could bring out your excellent talent for cultivation and become a powerful man."

"I can totally understand why you want to become a disciple at the Ghost Swordsman Dojo after hearing about Lord Ivan's deeds."

"If I were young and came across a dojo founded by a strong man like Lord Ivan, I would also try to see if I could become his disciple."

"Since you have made up your mind, then go ahead."

When Glenn Freys saw the disciple who had just joined yesterday and asked for his opinion, he paused, turned his back to Ye Li Ting Feng, and spoke slowly.

"Thank you Master Ge Lan for your help. If I learn something in the future, I will never forget your generosity and teachings."

Ye Li Ting Feng didn't expect that when he proposed to change his school of thought, Master Ge Lan would actually say such a thing.

The person in front of him didn't seem like a programmed NPC, but more like a master who didn't want to disappoint his friend and was intent on guiding his talent and training him into a truly powerful man.

"Go ahead. The fact that you came to tell me about it shows your feelings."

"If you fail to become my disciple, the door of Fengling Dojo is still open to you."

Glenn Fress was certainly not in a very happy mood because a talented disciple he had just accepted was leaving. However, after hearing these words, his mood and expression eased a lot.

Ye Liting Feng nodded and left Fengling Dojo.

After logging off, I filled in some more details on the guide I wrote last night and posted it on the Oracle player forum.

Titled "Nighttime Rules in the Sgri Region"

"Hello everyone, I am Ye Ren Ting Feng, we meet again."

"I reached level 10 yesterday afternoon and arrived at the Sgri area in the evening."

"Following the guide provided by Liver Emperor No. 1, I successfully found a career that suits my taste and completed the job change."

“And it also verifies that some of the ideas he provided are indeed correct.”

"If you want to become a master in this game, you must put a lot of effort into practicing combat techniques."

"This game also emphasizes reality more than expected. I will talk about this in detail below."

"But from what I understand now, even if the game Oracle opens a krypton gold channel in the future."

“If those who spend money want to become a real boss, they must also pay the cost of practice. Only by becoming a high-level player can they truly unleash the power of spending money.”

"Otherwise, having equipment and props alone may not be enough to overcome the difficult dungeons that we will inevitably encounter in the future."

“That’s all for the preface and summary.”

"Next, I will explain to you the nighttime rules in the Sgri area, and why this game places great emphasis on reality."

"There are different rules during the day and at night in the Sgri area."

"During the day, players have a high degree of freedom and can wander around. As long as they don't take the initiative to provoke, the NPC will not show its malicious side."

"But at night, after seven in the evening to be exact."

"The group of NPCs in the back streets of the Sgri area who engage in underground occupations such as poachers, assassins, and eavesdroppers will begin to become active."

“They have a more ruthless character.”

"Be careful not to take out too many gold coins from your backpack at night, causing your valuables to be exposed."

“Don’t be too curious and run around everywhere, or try to follow an NPC if you see one that seems to have something.”

"These actions may lead to attacks, thefts, and robberies by NPCs."

"And there are rules for each pub at night." "For example, if we want to go to various pubs for entertainment at night, we must abide by a hierarchical and orderly rule."

"As the tavern continues to receive guests, those of lower rank can only sit in the back seats in order."

"Otherwise, those NPC drinkers will regard it as a provocation and will then hate you. Just the gaze of a high-level NPC can make a person faint, and may even cause them to become furious and attack."

"The above are some of the nighttime rules in the Sgri area that I know about. I hope it can help you."

The poster listened to the wind at night.

After posting this, he began to write a new guide, which was about the Ghost Swordsman Dojo.

It’s not that he didn’t want to hide and change his job secretly.

Instead, it is calculated based on time. Apart from a few players who level up faster and will reach level 10 faster, the majority of players will successfully reach level 10 by tomorrow or the morning of the day after tomorrow at the latest.

When a large number of players arrive, even if he doesn't mention the Ghost Swordsman Dojo, other players will soon learn of the existence of the Ghost Swordsman Dojo.

Therefore, he might as well just post a message now and charge for informing people, so as to provide more information and options to those who are more interested in the swordsman profession.

He can use the money he earns from the information gap to prepare for the future.

Although the game does not have a pay-to-win channel yet, it does not mean that players cannot conduct offline transactions.

It is common practice to use real money to exchange for in-game money and props.

At least for now, gold coins can be traded and circulated, and are not labeled as non-tradable.

However, Ye Tingfeng didn’t think that since he had announced more options, all 3,000 players in the game would choose the Ghost Swordsman profession.

After all, everyone has different preferences. Some players like melee professions, some like ranged professions, and some prefer auxiliary professions.

Listening to the wind at night while writing a new post.

Some other players gradually noticed this new post.

"Going to the tavern in the game to have a drink and relax, there are still these rules?"

"Just sitting in the wrong seat can be seen as provocative, but it's okay. This makes me more and more interested."

"What? I can't just become a big boss by spending money? Then why should I spend money?"

"The same character performance, in the hands of a clumsy player and a skilled player, has always had two different styles of painting, I think it's okay."

"If I accidentally anger these NPCs and get killed in the town, can I take revenge on them after leveling up?"

"It's hard to say. Let's see the strategy of Boss Ye Li Ting Feng."

"Based on the authenticity of these NPCs, if you get angry and get attacked, you may be chased and killed by the NPCs, making it impossible for you to level up, and you need to open a new account before you can retaliate."

"Of course, all of this is just speculation. If there are any brave brothers, you can give it a try and set an example for everyone."

"The sunk cost of training again is so high, so forget it."

"This guide is very useful. Thank you for sharing it with Ye Li Ting Feng."

The information revealed in this guide caused some players to feel that it was too real.

It also made a group of fearless players decide to observe and not cause any trouble for the time being, considering the sunk costs.

After all, in other games, you may change your job and start fighting monsters after just playing for a dozen minutes.

But if they want to reach level ten in this game, they really have to face the impact of death again and again and kill goblins to improve themselves.

In their eyes, the energy and time spent on this are more expensive than spending thousands of dollars on in-game items.

Players are like this, if they don't spend any money and just play for fun, they can just throw it away.

But once they have invested a certain proportion of cost in the game, such as money, energy, and time, the more they invest, the more difficult it is to give up a game.

Even if there are some operational problems in subsequent game updates, as long as they are not too outrageous and cause massive anger.

Then only a small number of players will choose to quit or not invest more, but most players will choose to tolerate it.

Thanks for the reward from July’s rest of life.
