Compared with "Infinite Horror", "Adventures of New Adventurers" and "Mercenary Legend" are not that popular. After all, the quality of games does vary greatly, and it’s hard not to accept it.

"Infinite Horror" allows players to become a low-level adventurer and experience all kinds of incredible adventures. Although these adventures are often a bit scary, and even have the nickname "Game of the Brave", it is undeniable that its excitement is beyond imagination - experienced adventurers who have experienced it have rated it as at least as good as real-life adventures. There are eight points of similarity. As for the two points deducted, one point is because things are too bizarre. Most real-life adventures are very dull and not so weird. The other point is because things are too dangerous and the mortality rate is too high. Real-life adventures are really not that scary. of. If real-life adventures are this bizarre and have such a high mortality rate, then the adventurer profession is extremely risky and no one in their right mind should want to do it.

From another perspective, the name is indeed correct. This game is indeed exciting and terrifying.

The other two games are not so exciting. "Adventures of a New Adventurer" is a simple word game. It mainly talks about how a person who knows nothing about adventure prepares for adventure and how to experience the first few adventures. An adventure story. For those who have no adventure experience or have never played this game, it can be regarded as an interesting popular science. For those true novice adventurers, it is also a useful channel to supplement necessary knowledge. But once you play it a lot and become familiar with the content, it becomes boring.

"Legend of Mercenaries" is much more interesting than "Adventures of New Adventurers". For one thing, it has graphics, and the graphics are quite exquisite. In particular, the images of various monsters are very lifelike. If you have played it, I have misidentified the monsters in reality, so I definitely have a problem with my eyes or my brain. Secondly, it is also very rich in content, covering a variety of common tasks, from finding lost objects to exploring underground mazes and killing scary monsters. Everything you need.

This game is actually very popular, and people line up every day waiting to experience it, but the number of people queuing up is far behind compared to "Infinite Horror", and it's not on the same level at all. If a person is not in a hurry to play, he can play it almost effortlessly as long as he makes a reservation a day or two in advance.

And there is another reason that determines the difference in popularity of the three games. The "infinite horror" game console—assuming that the coffin-like crystal cylinder that people can lie in is also a game console—is not for sale to the public. Players who want to experience it can only come to the Void Mask Temple. The game consoles of the other two games are all sold to the public. As long as you build an altar to His Majesty the Mask of the Void at home and keep worshiping it every day. The offerings can be fruits or food, and you can use it stably.

Over the years, many wealthy families in Gars City have bought game consoles in their homes. Even for middle-income families, several families can buy one together, and everyone will take turns to play.

Due to the influence of game consoles, the entertainment life of Gals City residents is relatively poor - at least that's how it seems to many people elsewhere. They don't go to opera very often, and they don't have much interest in other literary and artistic projects. What they are most passionate about is returning home and playing games. A famous scholar even once commented on this city: It is a sea of ​​money, but a desert of culture.

"Is it really that exaggerated?" Sui Xiong came to Leon's office and chatted with him about the game console. As they chatted, they came up with this comment. Sui Xiong was shocked when he heard this and asked doubtfully: "Have the Gars people really turned into an Internet addiction army?"

"Internet addiction army? What is that?"

"They are a group of poor people who are said to need a certain Professor Yang to shock them... Have the people of Gals City really reached the point where they spend almost all their spare time playing games?"

Leon smiled and shook his head: "How is that possible! But for most wealthy people in Gars, apart from eating, drinking, going out to relax or travel, the most common entertainment is indeed games. Their main game is 'Mercenary Legend', last time I counted, there were probably more than 20,000 regular players in Gars."

"What the hell... twenty thousand people?!" Sui Xiong was shocked, "I remember that the game console seemed to cost five hundred gold coins, right? Twenty thousand people, isn't that tens of millions of gold coins?! The Gals have so much money money?!"

"You miscalculated. In fact, most players buy a game console together with several people. It is rare for one person to own a game console. According to my statistics, currently, on average, every five people Or so, owning a game console.”

Sui Xiong did the math and couldn't help but click his tongue in surprise.

One game console for five people would cost an average of one hundred gold coins per person. One hundred gold coins is not a small amount. Generally, it only takes one or two thousand gold coins to kill a more dangerous wanted criminal.

Moreover, there are 20,000 players, with an average of 100 gold coins each, so the total adds up to 2 million gold coins! Two million gold coins is also not a small number! Even the treasury of the Blue Moon Kingdom may not be able to take out so many gold coins at once.

"How rich are the Gars?" Sui Xiong couldn't help but ask.

"Absolutely, after all, it is accumulated over the years. And Carissa has held several subsidy activities for purchasing game consoles... Calculating it piecemeal, the average player spends less than six months on game consoles. Ten gold coins.”

"Less than sixty gold coins is a lot!"

"It's a lot for farmers, but for a prosperous city like Gars... how should I put it, although it's still a lot, it's still valuable in general." Leon said, "Moreover, even the simplest 'Adventures of New Adventurers' can be used to acquire basic knowledge of adventure. And it also comes with a basic literacy teaching system - think about it, just for learning to read and write, sixty gold coins is not a lot, right?"

Sui Xiong thought about it and nodded.

In this world, learning to read and write is indeed a very expensive thing. Only sixty gold coins can buy a set of tools that can be used for many years and let people learn basic common language. Thinking about it this way, it doesn't seem very expensive.

"So, the literacy rate of us Gars people is actually very high." Leon said with a smile, "After the scholar criticized it like this, Carissa was very dissatisfied, so she organized a large group of people to debate with him, and there were thousands of citizens before and after. He had never seen so many scholars flocking to the scene, and he was scared and ran away immediately."

Sui Xiong couldn't help laughing after hearing this.

It would be great if gamers on Earth could be so powerful!
