My players are all acting

Ten thousand grass and mud horses galloped past Zhao Haiping's heart again, but at this time the red armored guards had rushed over again to take him down.

He had no choice but to keep doing nothing, opened the box and took out the black jade unicorn, fumbled quickly and pulled out the sword!

In the end, he was stupid when he held it in his hand. The so-called sword was not much longer than his hand, a bit shorter than a dagger, and much narrower. It was not so much a sword as it was a large awl.

Fortunately, even such a "treasure sword" still receives the bonus of the talent skill "Sword Mastery". It took Zhao Haiping a lot of effort to kill two people and injure six or seven people. He was hacked to death with random knives.

As for Emperor Yanling, Zhao Haiping wanted to just throw the sword over there for a prize, maybe what if his character broke out and killed him with one blow?

It turned out that the emperor had long since disappeared.

Goofy!

Back to the original starting point.

This time, Zhao Haiping was not in a hurry to look at the new talent skills, but began to seriously think about how to pass the game.

Although he killed two guards last time by relying on the muscle memory instilled in him by the innate skill of "Sword Mastery", it also made him more clear: at present, his progress is still one hundred thousand short of clearing the dungeon. Eight thousand miles.

"Nie Rang's physical fitness and swordsmanship proficiency, this is the highest combat power I can have so far.

"Unless, I can get a Ren-level golden skill through character explosion, and it has to be a combat skill related to swordsmanship.

"The probability is too low. I don't know how many times I can die to get it. What's more, whether there is a non-level golden combat skill in the talent skill library of this dungeon or not.

"I can only consider the current combat power as the final combat power for customs clearance.

"However, apart from combat effectiveness, there are too many difficult problems to solve.

"If I'm a wooden barrel now, even if I get the 'Swordsmanship Proficiency', I can barely reach the normal level that a wooden barrel should have in terms of combat power. Everything else is a shortcoming..."

Zhao Haiping summed up the reasons for this failure.

When he was in the hall, because he couldn't control his body and expression, he was too scared, which caused the suspicious Emperor Yan Ling to become suspicious.

Although he fooled him a bit in a hurry, Emperor Yanling no longer trusted him, so he asked the little eunuch to fetch the ink jade unicorn.

Zhao Haiping wanted to take the initiative to contribute, but his words and deeds contradicted each other, and was seen through by the keen Emperor Yan Ling, which led to failure.

"That is to say, in order to achieve the close-up conditions, on the one hand, I have to be calm throughout the whole process, even if it is not enough to be calm, I must also behave innocuously, so that the suspicious Emperor Yanling trusts me initially; on the other hand On the one hand, when I came up with this idea, I had to choose the best time, or think of some ways to cover up my true intentions...

"It's too difficult!

"If I can take down the other two natural skills 'Confidence' and 'Eloquence', I may still be able to succeed if I add the three natural skills.

"But the mechanism of the game is limited, you can only get one talent skill.

"What's the matter?

"As a novice dungeon, there is no solution at all!"

Zhao Haiping frowned, a little suspicious of life.

He has played too many action games, and there are not many games that made him suffer. But at least in those games, he can still think of ways to improve after suffering.

Whether it is repeated targeted operation exercises, or looking for some special props that are helpful for customs clearance, at least there is an idea.

But in this game, he has no idea at all.

No matter how you look at it, it seems like an almost impossible goal to achieve.

"Could it be...that's why players are required to have excellent acting skills??"

Zhao Haiping suddenly thought of the requirements in the previous closed beta player recruitment announcement.

There is one point that is particularly emphasized: the acting skills are good, preferably at the actor level! Or if it fits the character, you can play in your true colors.

Before Zhao Haiping wondered, it's just playing a game, not making a movie, so why do you need acting skills?

Now he understands that the NPCs in this game are not ordinary intelligence!

The NPCs in other virtual reality games stand there stupidly like wooden stakes, only giving fixed dialogue options, or giving some simple intelligent answers, often like artificial mental retardation.

But what about the NPCs in this game?

Zhao Haiping looked up and was immediately dragged out and chopped.

Not only that, every subtle expression and movement of Zhao Haiping will be carefully observed by the NPC under the magnifying glass, and any abnormality will immediately arouse vigilance.

This NPC has passed the Turing test and is stress-free, right?

Sure enough, this game company must have a lot of background, not only with this kind of virtual reality technology with 100% realism, but also with such heaven-defying artificial intelligence technology.

Invincible!

Thinking about it this way, acting skills are indeed crucial in this game.

Because any behavior the player makes must fully conform to the role he plays, and there must be no "out of play" performance.

When making a movie, if the actor's acting skills are not good, the most he can do is let the audience play, get scolded a few times, and affect the box office.

But in this game, all NPCs are spectators. If the player's acting skills are not good enough and NPCs are allowed to play, there is only one dead end!

If the acting skills are not good, you can't even get close to the emperor, so how can you talk about assassinating and passing the level?

"It's outrageous, now I'm convinced, this game is indeed 100% authentic, not compromised at all.

"Ordinary players really can't stand it.

"Could it be that in order to play a game, I have to learn acting from a teacher?

"Forget it, try a few more times, if it doesn't work, quit first, and study the other three novice dungeons.

"Perhaps occupations like soldiers and rangers don't need such high acting skills. Assassin's occupation is still a bit too high."

Zhao Haiping calmed down and started the game again.

In fact, if this is a regular and ordinary virtual reality game, this kind of difficulty will definitely dissuade most players.

But this game is too technical!

Whether it is 100% fidelity or NPC's super intelligence, it is the only one at present. Compared with it, those about 50% of the virtual reality games currently on the market are like playing house, completely There is no attraction anymore.

Therefore, after Zhao Haiping adjusted his mentality, he was aroused to challenge and plunged into it to try to clear the level.

...

At this time, Meng Yuan was watching the performance of the players from the perspective of God with Little Lolita Canshang.

Players only know that the probability of qualifying for this internal test is extremely low, but there is no specific concept of how low it is.

The Meng principle is very clear about these data.

So far, the number of people worldwide who signed up for the closed beta qualification of "Dark Sand" has exceeded 100 million, and only a mere 10,000 people can get the qualification for the closed beta.

A real one in a million!

The number of applicants exceeding 100 million was within Meng Yuan's expectations. After all, the game's exposure is too high. The top news and social networking sites are super recommended. In addition, the appointment itself is free and there is no threshold. I made an appointment with the mentality of "three shots if there is a date or not".

As for why there are only 10,000 people qualified for the internal test, of course there is a reason.

"Dark Sands" is not a game, and there is no limit to the server capacity, but it is structured through the power of the sorter.

The UI and many game-like designs in it are just packaging to make players more convinced that they are playing games.

There are only a few people who Meng Yuan can really bring into the slice of history to complete the mission with him, because the more people there are, the more dispersed his power will be.

Therefore, it is the best choice to choose two or three players who are good in all aspects to substitute into the historical slice.

And now the reason for conducting an internal test is mainly to screen the most talented players through this method.

Although it doesn't take too much power to build a trial illusion for each player, the current 10,000 people have basically reached the limit. If you want to further increase the number of people, you have to find a way to gain power from historical slices and further enhance the ability of the sorter.

As for the screening and extraction rules, it mainly depends on the performance of these players in other virtual reality games and their real occupations.

Really hardcore gamers who have plenty of Platinum trophies for action games, puzzle games in other VR titles will have a better chance of qualifying.

In addition, people who are actors, history buffs, athletes, martial artists and other special professions in reality will also have a better chance of qualifying for the closed beta.

In fact, people with occupations such as police, soldiers, and firefighters are also very suitable, but their positions are too important. Meng Yuan doesn't want this game to affect their daily work, so that the world will be messed up before the historical slice of monsters invades. up.

Of course, the entire screening is done through the ability of the sorter. Although there may be some deviations, it is generally reliable.

This criterion is to select the person who is most suitable to enter the historical slice and help Meng Yuan complete the mission of the sequencer.

Just judging from the situation of the players in the Trial Illusion... it was a little bit different from Meng Yuan's expectations.

So far, Zhao Haiping's performance is the best, after all, he also successfully killed two red armored guards.

The situation for others was even more dire.

Someone walked on the steps and rolled down because of excessive tension and calf cramps;

Someone was spotted in the main hall because of his bad speech, and was dragged out and chopped up;

Some people tried to snatch the weapons in the hands of the red armor guards in a whimsical way, but they were hacked to death before going to the hall.

The situation of the other three trial dungeons is similar, but the way of death is different.

In a word, the degree of misery is almost the same, and the forms of misery flourish.

It is a very small number of people like Zhao Haiping who can persist in front of Emperor Yan Ling and think of words in the face of Emperor Yan Ling's questioning.

Meng Yuan also knew very well in his heart that in reality, players like Zhao Haiping were considered top quality.

But even so, they still haven't found any way to clear the customs.

The merchant conjured a meat bun in his hand and took a bite: "I just said that you are wasting your time. The trial illusion is used to screen the sorters, and it is extremely difficult. You shouldn't hold them too much." hope.

"What's more, as their assistants, they can obtain at most one sequencer ability in the illusion, which greatly increases the difficulty."

Meng Yuan sighed softly, and asked back: "Then didn't you realize that even though these players are so miserable, they are better than me, a genuine sorter, in the illusion of trials?

"At least most people have roughly guessed the mission goal of the customs clearance copy."

Shangshang was at a loss for words for a while: "...what you said makes sense."

In fact, Meng Yuan was a little uncertain about whether these players could pass the level.

Because the players entered as "assistants", it was equivalent to Meng Yuan giving them the abilities of the sorter.

The innate skill cards that players see are actually a special packaging of the sorter's ability. If Meng Yuan entered the history slice by himself, he would be able to carry three at the beginning, and he could carry more later as his abilities improved.

But as a helper, the player can only bring one at the moment.

This undoubtedly greatly increased the difficulty of clearing the trial copy.

Now Meng Yuan can only hope that the carefully selected players can make up for this gap with their outstanding talent and hard work.

But if you think about it on the bright side, players who can still stand out under such a difficult training must rely purely on hard power, and they must be very fierce!

Meng Yuan continued to watch patiently, looking forward to the performance of the players.

As a guide, participating merchants can watch the actions of all players at the same time, and only show Meng Yuan to see the progress of breakthroughs, which is equivalent to an intelligent OB system.

At present, Zhao Haiping is the fastest player to enter the state, so Meng Yuan naturally took a few more glances.
