Chapter 21: Siren Town

Although Bai Liu knew that his plan had a chance of success, he had to say that the final result was much better than what he had expected.

The props in the game seem to have a bonus effect, the burning state of these barrels of highly concentrated alcohol is much more exaggerated than the burning level of alcohol that Bai Liu has seen in real life, and so is the bright flashlight that lit up people's eyes before.

As the sun rises on the beach and the sky brightens, these light-fearing, diurnal mermaids gradually dive beneath the surface, out of sight.

Bai Liu confirmed that there weren't any mermaids around before separating his mind to tap the panel.

He hadn't gotten around to looking at it before, being too busy barbecuing, ah no, fighting off mermaids, but now Bai Liu looked at the information on the panel and didn't resist narrowing his eyes.

[Sidequest: Jeff's Bloody Conspiracy, 90% complete]

Andre has been killed, the driver has been burned to death by Bai Liu, and there is still ten percent of this side quest left to be completed...... How do I push this 10% of [Bloody Conspiracy]?

[Points balance: 684, do you want to buy props?]

Bai Liu stared at the suddenly high points figure for a while, he scratched the panel and tapped to consult the points breakdown, and found that more than five hundred points came from [Charge].

That is, he tossed around last night, and over eighty percent of his points were not earned from completing tasks from the game system, but from relying on those [viewers] to reward him.

Bai Liu thought for a moment - in other words, [audience] points are better earned than game points, and a lot more of them.

It doesn't quite make sense because the rewards of the game itself are lower than the rewards outside the game, which will make players play negatively, which will make them make trade-offs to please something outside the game, or just stop playing, and just use some gimmicky tactics to attract viewers, and wouldn't it be better if they just rewarded the viewers?

Especially in the case of points can be directly purchased props, if the points obtained by rewards is sufficient, for Bai Liu, he can buy a lot of props, and then violently pass the game, so the game will not have any experience at all.

Bai Liu would never design a game like this, and he doesn't think this system will either.

There must be some sort of reward within this game that balances the reward system inside and outside of the game so that players want to get their rewards from inside the game more than outside of it.

Bai Liu's fingers repeatedly flipped the coin, all the quest rewards in this game are instant, that is to say, completing the quest will immediately get the points reward, but there is one thing that is an exception---

--that's the monster book.

This kind of reward that you can only have if you collect all the pages of the book, and you have to pass the level before it can be given out, usually speaking, this kind of reward that is only given out after the end of the level, the weight of it should be very big.

But Bai Liu now looks at the reward points and thinks he's still underestimating the weight of monster books.

Bai Liu Now I feel that the rewards given at the end of the monster book might not only be big, but also very valuable and the kind that can't be easily purchased by points, so as to balance the rewards mechanism in and out of the game.

Bai Liu flipped open the monster book and looked at each page for a while, finally his eyes stopped at the completely unlocked page of [ King Seiren ] and paused.

The Monster Book of Seiren Town - King Seiren (2/4)

[Monster name: King Seiren]

[Weaknesses: None at this time (Players are not required to explore the monster's weaknesses.)]

[Attack method: ???? (Unknown, to be explored)

[Note: For wandering god-level NPCs, the danger level is extremely high, please explore with caution]

This one has to explore the attack method ah ...... From the previous few monsters, the attack is that they launch the attack and the player is done exploring here.

But when a monster of King Seiren's caliber attacks, Bai Liu feels certain that he will be gg.

But it wouldn't be this miser's style to let Bai Liu let go of such a big, fat reward here, knowing full well that it's there.

If Bai Liu knew how ferocious this NPC was and had heard all the deeds of this bug-like rumored NPC, he might have given up.

After all, to do the game well, the most afraid of things is bugs, bugs because it is not the game itself, there is no logic, the player is not able to fight against the bugs.

But Bai Liu doesn't know that now.

Not only do not know, Bai Liu also took this npc as a guard boss to see, think defeated the other side, the reward that must be greatly, and the game must have a solution, no matter what the boss, that will inevitably have a way to fight against it.

Bai Liu stared for a moment, tsked softly, closed the monster book, and opened the game store: [I want to buy props]

What kind of props do players need? Recently, there is a price reduction promotion for Bubbles in the Water, may I ask the player if he needs any?

Bai Liu took a look, and sure enough, the [Bubbles in the Water] prop in "Siren Town" has dropped from 70 points a piece to 40 points a piece.

The popularity props column next to [Bubbles in the Water] has added [Highly Concentrated Alcohol], a prop that Bai Liu had bought before, and [Highly Concentrated Alcohol] has gone from 9 points a barrel to almost 13 points a barrel.

Bai Liu smiled at the price change.

He guessed correctly that the process of the game on his side would feed back to the audience and cause a change in their buying preferences, like a live bandwagon.

As long as Bai Liu can hit the same effect with other cheaper props, players will flock to buy them, causing a shift in the prop price curve.

And this Town of Sirens is supposed to be a copy of a game that doesn't have a very large user pool, which is why the price goes up and down so quickly.

For example, Bai Liu used a 3d projector and a flashlight to pass the [Siren Wax Museum] map, the regular solution for that map should be to use the Flame Torch to pass, but Bai Liu used a few persistent props to pass it easily, and also dicked the effect of the consumable props, the Flame Torch.

For about the same price, players would definitely prefer to buy long-lasting props, so the price of flaming torches went down, while the price of 3d projectors climbed.

This time, Bai Liu is doing the same trick again, in order to [bubbles in the water] this moment the price is lower, he can save a sum of money in the middle of the price difference.

Bai Liu smiles: [I want to buy a bubble in the water]

Okay, 40 points. Thank you for your patronage.

Wang Shun, who had traveled all the way from the death comedy section to the single-player section, approached the small TV in confusion as he saw Bai Liu preparing to buy a bubble in the water.

After confirming that Bai Liu had really bought a water bubble, Wang Shun fell into an even greater confusion: "...... Why did he start buying water bubbles again? "

"The back of Siren Town is almost all land chases as I recall, there's not much use for water bubbles ah ......"

Next to a player who also followed the reasonably analyzed: "Now Bai Liu points more, and he did not know that the back are basically land chase station, may be to buy a just in case, anyway, is not expensive, only forty."

"He now has over six hundred points spend forty to buy himself a bubble in the water, the equivalent of an insurance policy, alcohol is still a little too risky after all."

But Wang Shun has followed Bai Liu along the way, and already has an understanding of the man's style of spending all his points on the blade of a knife.

Previously Bai Liu preferred to take the risk of buying wine selected a relatively high-risk, low-investment program, rather than spend more points to buy bubbles in the water and pick a low-risk, high-investment program.

But now to avoid the risk, instead of spending an extra 50 points to buy an air bubble in the water just in case this practice ......

Wang Shun inexplicably felt that Bai Liu could not do such a thing.

Even Wang Shun had the extremely absurd idea that Bai Liu was only buying Bubbles in Water now, that is, he was manipulating the price through his own series of operations, in order to wait for the moment when Bubbles in Water dropped in price, so that he could buy it and save money.

Wang Shun muttered to himself as he thought.

Because he was lost in his own thoughts, Wang Shun's volume wasn't low, after his self-talk was heard by the spectator player next to him.

This player did not hold back to retort: "You're not going to become this what Bai Liu's brainwashed fan, right? And manipulate the price?...... He's a newbie, he hasn't been out of the game yet, I admit he's a bit of a thing when it comes to playing the game, but manipulating the price of props this, it's really a bit too much."

This player attitude is somewhat perfunctory and casual: "I think he just experienced such an exciting night, but also be scared not clear, as soon as he saw the money immediately buy a few props that can save his life, he used alcohol before I think it is still a big component of gambling ......"

This player said to the end also a little deflated whispered muttered: "is to bet on the operation, there is no big deal, actually rely on this rushed to the single player division. "

This player talked about here between the look of a few points can not be suppressed jealousy, seems to think that Bai Liu can rise to the [single-player game partition] here, although a few points of brains, but most of the speculative bets to win just.

The forums were also buzzing with discussions about Bai Liu's alcohol-based fish kills, and after an initial wave of praise, the number of people who mocked Bai Liu for taking advantage of the situation gradually increased.

Much like this player who is judging Bai Liu, most of them have a dismissive and sour, [I'm on I'm on] attitude:

[What's in this operation, and I thought of it at first, but why would I pick the higher risk option when there are more secure options put in front of me?]

[Harm, it's just a pretender, it's not the first time I've seen it, are there fewer pretenders over at Dead Comedy?]

I laughed me to death, but also bought nine bottles of alcohol, used four bottles, there are five bottles put aside not to use to raise mermaids is it? Those blowing this set of operations to save money, I give you to buy the math to calculate the account roar, here eighty-one points, than the original water bubbles are more expensive eleven points Oh!

[Blow, some people just close their eyes and blow, right? This pass of his is really useless except for the nice visual effect.]

And this stuff after the pass get reward points, without saying anything immediately bought the water bubble, is not fucking concede, think alcohol can not or the water bubble is good, have the ability to continue to use alcohol to burn ah, I see you follow up on land how to burn, the mermaid wax statue can not be burned at all!
