Chapter 473 Gu Fan’s Little Treasury
"Doing the opposite?" Lilith became interested.
Qin Fengliang explained: “Why do players like to play strategy simulation business games?
“Personally, I think there is a very important reason: I like the pleasure of being in control of everything.
"Watching a small country on the border rapidly develop and expand under my hard work, with various indicators rapidly improving, and finally conquering the north and south to dominate the world, this will bring me a huge sense of accomplishment.
“And during the game, even if I fail, I won’t feel too much frustration.
"Because I know that there is nothing wrong with the game, but I am too bad. If I try it again, as long as I can make up for my previous mistakes, or simply follow the guide carefully step by step, I can achieve different results.
“So traditional business strategy simulation games give players a lot of positive emotions.
"This is a game where as long as you work hard, there is a high probability that you will be rewarded."
Lilith nodded slightly: "Yes, indeed."
She is also very aware of this, so she tried to avoid this as much as possible when making "The Legend of Destiny Crouching Dragon" and "The City Abandoned by Gods".
It’s just that the solution at that time was not very mature and had loopholes.
Qin Fengliang continued: "So it is very simple for us to collect negative emotions, just do the opposite!
“Make business simulation games into two-player games, with one player playing the role of the leader and the other player playing the role of the bureaucrat.
“Leaders have higher authority and can formulate policies, and can even confiscate the houses of bureaucrats.
"However, the player who plays the role of a bureaucrat will not be eliminated. Even if the bureaucrat he plays at this time has his house confiscated, he will be reincarnated into the successor bureaucrat.
“Although the bureaucrat has less power, he will be responsible for the implementation of specific policy guidelines.
“For some policies he doesn’t like, he can do so without making any efforts to advance them.
“If some data that is unfavorable to him appears, the bureaucrat can choose to modify the data or even directly conceal it from the player who plays the leader.
“Players who play the role of a bureaucrat can also choose to betray the country or even usurp the throne under the right circumstances.
"So, the two players engaged in intrigue and turned the strategy simulation business game into a PVP game. As a result, wouldn''t negative emotions keep coming?"
The more Lilith listened, the brighter her eyes became: "Huh? This is indeed a good idea!"
Qin Fengliang mentioned before that the shortcomings of traditional strategy and management simulation games in generating negative emotions, but after the introduction of the two-player mode, all of them were solved!
For example, there is no serious frustration in traditional strategy games.
Players will know clearly that it is their own fault. After restarting the game, they can just make up for their previous mistakes or refer to the guide to get a good ending.
But after the two-player mode, the situation is completely different.
Even if they lose, the player doesn''t know the specific reason. Is it because he made the wrong choice, or is another player messing around?
When most players encounter this situation, they will prioritize other people''s problems, which is commonly known as passing the blame.
If we do it all over again, we may not be able to solve this problem.
Because the situation changes every time, the other player may not cooperate 100%. Even if they want to refer to the strategy, the two may not be able to reach an agreement.
Not to mention the kind of fun-loving person who specializes in making trouble. If you happen to play with such a player, you will really have one in your life.
As for the various small frictions and accidents in this process, they will continuously generate negative emotions.
Of course, special circumstances where players cooperate sincerely are not excluded.
For example, if one player is a licker and cooperates with the other player unconditionally, then both parties are unlikely to have too many negative emotions.
But after all, this situation is rare.
Qin Fengliang added: "Not only that, Mr. Li, this approach also has a good point, that is, you don''t have to worry too much about fake-AI.
"Because the really important decisions are made by the players."
Lilith nodded suddenly: "Oh, yes!"
Why was it so badly tricked by fake-AI?
The main thing is that in stand-alone games, players and AI interact.
This interaction can easily lead to unexpected special situations.
But in two-player mode, even if the player interacts with the AI, it will only make the situation more confusing.
For example, the leader player himself has begun to doubt the bureaucratic player. At this time, an NPC played by a fake-AI suddenly reports that the bureaucratic player has a tendency to rebel...
Good guy, it’s exciting just thinking about it!
This doesn''t even have to knock the dog''s brains out.
It’s hard for a player to trust another player, and it’s even harder for a player to completely trust a fake-AI.
The original player-AI mode is like a stable binary movement, and the movement patterns are easy to identify.
But now, due to the introduction of another player, the chaotic system of player-player-AI is finally formed, and it suddenly becomes confusing.
"Okay, good!"
Lilith was very happy. She stood up and took a few steps excitedly. The previous decadent mood caused by "Blood of Lies" was instantly swept away.
Of course, for Lilith at this time, "Blood of Lies" can still do a lot of aftermath work, and can also try to make a death struggle.
But after having the idea for a new game, she almost immediately abandoned "Blood of Lies" and focused solely on the new game.
"Have you decided on a specific background for a business simulation game?" Lilith asked excitedly.
Qin Fengliang shook his head: "No, Mr. Li, you also know that I am not very good at these details.
"I just provided a general direction. It''s up to you to make the decision on what to do specifically."
Lilith nodded: "Okay, it''s not easy for you to do this, thank you for your hard work!
"Leave the rest to me!"
Although it is determined to be a two-player strategy management simulation game, there are actually many optional backgrounds.
For example, you can do ancient war themes, modern business management themes, future science fiction war themes, or apocalyptic survival themes...
Almost most of the story backgrounds can be seamlessly connected.
“Okay, I’ll give this matter another serious thought.
"If it succeeds this time, you will be the first to succeed!"
Lilith left with great ambition. …
…
The next afternoon.
The corner of the second floor of the cafe near the villa area.
“You’ve been doing really well lately, and the positive sentiments Heaven has been collecting have hit a new high.
"Keep up the good work, keep up the good work."
Xamil''s glasses were put aside, her expression was dignified, and she felt more like a leader than Gu Fan.
He just picked up the coffee on the table and pretended to take a sip, then he couldn''t help but frown.
"It is too sweet."
Gu Fan didn''t say anything, he just secretly complained that if it''s too sweet, you should order American...
However, Chamille said it was too sweet, but he kept drinking it, and his whole mouth seemed unethical.
Gu Fan coughed twice: "Of course, Mr. Xia, if I collect positive emotions for heaven, I will definitely go through fire and water!
"Although Mr. Li...oh no, the **** **** demons were wary of me in every possible way and tried every means to marginalize me, I still withstood the pressure and successfully completed the task.
"Mr. Xia, do you think my commission can be increased slightly?
"I don''t want more, just add 5% more."
Chamille put down the coffee, thought for a moment and said: "5% is still unlikely, but if it is within my authority, 2% should be okay."
Gu Fan was very happy: "No problem, 2% is not too little for me."
Chamille was a little curious: "I actually want to know how many positive emotions you have on hand now?
"You don''t have many signs of using positive emotions to create happiness or good luck. Are you saving them all?"
Gu Fan said seriously: "Of course these positive emotions are used to leverage more positive emotions for heaven, how can I use them for enjoyment?
"I''m not that kind of person."
The corner of Chamille''s mouth twitched slightly: "Come on, you humans really don''t have a word of truth in your mouth.
"But it doesn''t matter. If you don''t have this quality, you won''t be able to fool the clever Lilith.
"As long as you continue to do your best for heaven, I can turn a blind eye to many things."
Gu Fan secretly cursed, what does "smart Lilith" mean?
Heaven and Hell also have very good matching mechanisms, right?
Heaven elected Chamuel, the angel they thought was the best, to compete with Lilith. As a result, Chamuel felt sympathy for Lilith''s IQ.
This is really a bit difficult.
As an angel, Chamier could indeed see traces of Gu Fan using positive emotions.
As an ordinary person, Gu Fan''s use of positive emotions is limited to two aspects, one is happiness and the other is luck.
Not only can it be used on others, but it can also be used on yourself.
Taking happiness as an example, Gu Fan can choose to consume a certain amount of positive emotional values ??to increase the happiness that a certain group of players derives from the game, thus leveraging more positive emotional values.
Similarly, Gu Fan can also directly use positive emotional values ????on himself to make himself happy.
But if you use these positive emotional values ????on yourself, Chamier, as an angel, can see the traces.
That''s why Chamier was surprised, because so far, Gu Fan has shown no signs of using his positive emotions for himself.
Is this human being so determined?
Generally speaking, it’s hard to control your curiosity and not try it, right?
Obviously, Gu Fan thinks that he is walking on thin ice at this time. What if he is too happy, loses vigilance towards Lilith and overturns?
It is very likely that one mistake will lead to eternal regret.
When the time comes, we can’t count on the angels taking care of everything.
So far, Gu Fan has been carefully using positive emotions to leverage more positive emotions.
Either to create some special coincidences, or to target a certain group of people and enhance the happiness they get from the game.
With such careful calculation, the positive emotion value accumulated by Gu Fan has reached an astonishing number.
Specifically: 2.59 million.
This should be a number that would make Chamuel jealous.
After all, the positive emotion value that Xamil gave Gu Fan for the experiment was only 1 million, but Lilith would be very happy after collecting hundreds of thousands of negative emotion values.
Of course, Gu Fan didn''t intend to tell anyone this number, including Chamille.
As for why he hoards so much like a hoarding rat, of course it comes from Gu Fan''s sense of worry.
He was worried that Lilith would suddenly slap her head and cause a big problem one day.
If he really encounters that kind of special situation, a large amount of positive emotions will be the confidence for him to make a comeback, and it will also be the insurance for him to continue to lurk.
Of course, Gu Fan''s commission is 10%. Considering that these games have generated at least 40 million positive emotional values ??for Paradise, Xamil should also have a rough idea of ??the positive emotional values ??that Gu Fan actually received. Estimate.
But she didn''t know how much Gu Fan spent.
Therefore, Chamille could not know the exact number in Gu Fan''s small vault.
"Can you predict what Lilith will do in the next game?" Chamier had already finished his coffee.
Gu Fan shook his head: "Of course I couldn''t predict it.
"If it was just her, she could still try to guess, but she should have some other think tanks.
“I don’t know much about these think tanks, so naturally I can’t make predictions.
"But it doesn''t matter. After all, the soldiers will block it, and the water will cover it. After the game design is figured out, we can slowly think about countermeasures during the development process."
