Chapter 27 The Charm of Total Greed


    Obviously, the emergence of this video made netizens feel a little unexpected.


    Lecturer Ding had to choose to block the barrage before he could clearly see the operations in this video.


    ?The video is more than thirty minutes in total, which is considered a long video, but for players of the game "Sisyphus", it is already incredibly short.


    Because the current best record on the entire network set by the anchor Heilong is also 49 minutes long!


    At first, Professor Ding subconsciously thought that this video did not run the entire distance. After all, the time was too short, and the official rankings had not been refreshed.


    But after watching the entire video, Professor Ding fell silent.


    This 33-minute video actually completed the entire race!


    ??The reason why there is no official record is because the player chose to push the big stone down the cliff just before arriving in the Garden of Eden, so this result was not recorded.


    Why do this?


    Lecturer Ding doesn’t know either.


    ??But in any case, this video is indeed uncut, proving that the fastest completion time of the game "Sisyphus" can be compressed to less than 33 minutes.


    What shocked Lecturer Ding even more is that this person’s gameplay can be described in two words.


    That’s it…


    Total greed!


    What is "greed"?


    ?This concept comes from the speed pass player group.


    ?In the pursuit of "clearing a certain game as quickly as possible", players will fix the clearance process and constantly optimize it.


    During the clearance process, players often encounter a dilemma many times: Should they choose a safe but longer route? Or choose a dangerous but shorter route?


    ?This dangerous but short route may require the player to solve a special bug, or use a special game mechanism, or it may simply place high requirements on the player''s operation.


    ?It is often accompanied by extremely high risks, and once it fails, all previous efforts will be lost.


    When players choose to try these high-risk operations in order to shorten the clearance time, it is called "greed".


    For ordinary players, they tend to be more rational and conservative when it comes to the question of "should they be greedy?"


    ?Take the two anchors "Black Dragon" and "Lao Lu" who are competing for the top spot on the list at this time.


    They never mindlessly pursue the fastest route, but prefer to use the method of "squeezing toothpaste" to break records.


    The reason is simple.


    First of all, the fastest route must also be the one with the highest risk. There are many points that can be greedy and are actually very uneconomical. It''s probably less than half the rate of success, but even if it did it would only add a minute to the record time.


    If the success rate of the five key points is less than half, then the success rate after superposition will be less than 3%. This is a simple mathematical problem.


    Why should we take such a big risk to pursue the limit when we can break the record by optimizing other areas?


    To successfully complete a full run, it may take two or three days, which is too risky.


    ?This not only requires extremely skilled skills, but also a strong mentality and a little bit of luck, and even the latter two are far more important than the former.


    Secondly, slowly breaking the record by squeezing the toothpaste out can maintain the heat to the maximum extent.


    ?Like many Olympic champions, in the absence of strong competitors, even if they have the ability to directly improve the world record by a large margin, they often hold back and slowly break the record.


    So all things considered, whether from a game perspective or from a realistic perspective, "all greed" is not a rational choice.


    ??But the master in this video seems to have no understanding of these unspoken rules.


    I directly chose "Total Greed"!


    In other words, wherever the current route can be optimized or improved, the faster route has been chosen, regardless of how high the probability of failure is on this route!


    ?The most shocking part of this "total greed" gameplay is of course the theme of this video "Five consecutive dragons fluttering their wings".


    Lecturer Ding watched the five times the dragon flapped its wings over and over again without saying a word.


    I can only say that I am shocked!


    As the discoverer of dragon flapping, Lecturer Ding knows better than anyone how difficult this operation is. Whether it is the timing to start accelerating, the distance or the starting position, there are very strict restrictions, and the slightest difference will lead to a huge difference.


    ?Of course, players will definitely choose “note points”.


    But just like the driving license test, even if you memorize the points, you will still panic when you get to the examination room, and you will still fail when you should fail. But the man in the video is like a precise machine. Although there are some small flaws and mistakes, he was almost perfect in the five times when the dragon flapped its wings!


    The dragon **** its wings five times in a row, and the visual effect is simply overwhelming, and the audience will be amazed every time.


    After watching the video, the viewers in the live broadcast room were also stunned.


    “Let me go, who is this?”


    “Who does Tai Chi!”


    “How can a casual game be so scrolling??”


    “This operation is so smooth!”


    “I opened my eyes by stabbing my **** with a knife. Can this game still be played like this? This dung beetle is flying in the sky with a ball of dung the whole time?”


    “I thought anyone who played this game had polio, I was wrong!”


    "Only people who have never played this game will think this operation is awesome. People who have played it are already on their knees. This is not an operation that humans can perform at all!"


    "This is what racing is. Brother Quantan is awesome! It''s not like Heilong and Lao Lu, who squeezed out toothpaste every day and went from 53 to 51 and then to 49 for three whole days. It’s okay now, Brother Quan Tan will give you all a shark!”


    ?While everyone was shocked by this "Brother Quan Tan", Heilong and Lao Lu, two anchors who specialize in live broadcasting of "Sisyphus" racing, also felt unprecedented pressure.


    Because of this video, the game record was greatly compressed from 49 minutes to 33 minutes.


    Although I don’t know why the author of the video took the initiative to push the boulder down the cliff and gave up the upload record, the video is here and all players have approved it.


    In other words, all future "Sisyphus" players who want to pursue the limit and become the new number one must meet two conditions at the same time: first, complete five consecutive dragon wings, and second, the time ratio is 33 Minutes shorter!


    Otherwise, it won’t be recognized by anyone.


    Heilong and Lao Lu were already sweating profusely. They each silently lit a cigarette and then started speedrunning "Sisyphus" again.


    But this time, their goal has all become "Five Dragon Wings".


    By the time Professor Ding finished watching this video, the trend in his live broadcast room had also changed 180 degrees!


    The audience was already a little tired of watching. Now that Professor Ding has successfully achieved 12th place and also performed a successful dragon fluttering wings, everyone felt that it was almost over.


    But the appearance of this video made their challenge spirit burn brightly again!


    "Xiao Ding! Did you see that someone has already flapped their wings?"


    “That’s right, we can’t lose! We are still ten minutes away from being number one in the world!”


    “Now you are on the same starting line as Heilong and Lao Lu. It depends on which one of you can break the world record first.”


    "Run! Keep running! Let everyone see the strength of our Ding family army!"


    Seeing the fans in the live broadcast room being so united, Professor Ding was also quite moved.


    “Okay! Brothers, since you all think so highly of me and support me, then I will fight again!


    “Although there is no commercial order for this game, I will continue to play it for another week! Our goal is to challenge the Five Dragons to flap their wings and challenge the world’s number one in this game!”


    ??Lecturer Ding felt that the blood in his body was about to boil. He reopened the game "Sisyphus" and started the challenge again!


    …


    “Poof!”


    Seeing this scene, Lilith almost spat out a mouthful of blood.


    She never expected that even though she would no longer pay, Professor Ding would still continue to broadcast the game.


    ? And she didn’t expect that the impact of this incident would be far more than that!


    ??Gu Fan looked at the various negative emotional reminders that appeared in his field of vision. It was obvious that the situation had changed a little bit.


    ??Originally, with the withdrawal of a group of old players, the negative emotions generated by this game showed signs of recovery, but now, the negative emotions have begun to fall rapidly again, and they are getting worse!


    ?Obviously, this video not only made the anchors sweat and made the top racing track of "Sisyphus" more interesting, it also made a large number of old players come back to the game!


    ??Why do these old players who used to reduce their negative emotional value quit the game?


    To put it bluntly, it means temporarily losing the target in the game.


    But now, they have a new goal. This video of "Brother Quantan" has inspired everyone who is playing "Sisyphus"!
