Chapter 22 The Only Immortal NPC
Free City, as the name suggests, means that you can do whatever you want in this city, and this is called freedom.
Of course, infinite freedom is definitely not allowed. It is too destructive to play, and it is ruined with a good game.
Especially when some players use plug-ins, this will make the game experience that players who do not use plug-ins have extremely poor experience.
The main focus of the game "Free City" is to simulate reality. Players can do what they can do in reality and do what is prohibited in reality. However, this is only theoretical.
If you do something that violates the law in reality, you will really be in a squad. In "Free City", those who violate the law will only be your game character.
Moreover, games are games. In order to take care of the player's game experience, the screen is just darkened when you are caught, and then some money is subtracted and it comes out again.
The same is true for being beaten to death. If you lose some equipment and money, you will come out of the hospital in a blink of an eye, and then you will "do your life".
This is not a problem of "low crime cost", it means there is no crime cost.
If there is no crime cost, there is nothing to say, and players will definitely be able to make it.
After all, game games are for players to play.
It is estimated that the only restriction is the limitation between players. For example, if a large number of players are killed, they will be targeted by all players. No matter who kills the player, they will receive high game rewards.
In "Free City", any NPC can be killed. As long as it is not caught by the police, it will not only not be fined, but can even make money by plundering corpses.
However, everything is exceptional. There is an NPC in the game that is inviolable by the Holy Spirit of Life, and it was voted by players.
Because of it, players organized a huge vote on their own, and then the game company responded positively and quickly made changes.
Of course, if players can do this, this NPC must have its own special features, which is also the purpose of Peng Ke's trip.
He sat in a taxi heading to the city center, looking back and forth nervously, because there were more and more players, and the more players, the more chaotic it means.
"Boom--"
A violent explosion suddenly occurred in front of him, and many cars in the field were scrapped directly, and then fierce gunfire sounded.
"Da da da da da da~"
"Tututututututu~"
"Bang bang bang ~"
The NPC at the scene began to run around in scattered ways, and even the car he was riding in was not driven. The driver opened the door and screamed and ran away, leaving only Peng Ke in the co-pilot messed up with gunshots and screams.
Fortunately, he loaded the [Vehicle Driving Mastery] module, and now he has a car again. He quickly moved from the co-pilot to the driver's seat, and then started the car and turned it into an alley to observe secretly.
Now he is very close to the city center of Liberty City, and there is no detour. He just came out of the base camp and took a little walk, then got into the taxi and headed straight to the center bar.
As he got closer and closer to the city center, more and more lively guys could see, which was right from what he guessed at first. Players did gather in prosperous places.
And as more and more players gather, the scene becomes more and more uncontrollable. I used to shoot randomly, but now this scene...
"Is this a gang fight? No, I've caught up with the wrong street fighting in the city. Good guy, there are at least a hundred or dozens of people on the side, and all the rocket launchers are on the bazooka."
Since the player's name cannot be seen in the npc mode, he quietly converted to the player mode, and was shocked the moment the conversion was completed.
"Damn it, it's all red names and gold medals! I can't afford to offend, I can't afford to offend, I'll escape."
He made up his mind and rushed into the alley with a kick.
Originally, he saw so many people fighting here and wanted to take advantage of the situation, but when he saw that he was full of red names and all four stars were above. He thought about it and he had to waste time here.
Just like being wanted by the police, there are stars in the red name.
If you do bad things or violate the rules, a wanted star will appear, and the police will start to want it. The more you want stars, the more comfortable you will be "served" by the police. From ordinary police to special police to the army, the more wanted stars are high, fighter jets can come.
The stars of the red player are called "Blood Star", and the red player is the homonym of "Bloody", so the red player is also called "Bloody Player".
The more bloody the other white-name players get more rewards to kill them, and then these white-name players will turn golden and then receive golden medals.
You will even get some achievements, such as "safety maintainers", "voluntary police", "blood nemesis" and so on.
When the game is running normally, players with these titles can not only get rewards in the game, but also receive real-world shopping mall discount coupons, physical gifts given by game companies, etc.
These are all the information that awakened people have received before. I don’t know if they are about to close, and these modes are still operating.
But seeing how fierce these people fight, there should be some, right?
Otherwise, why did the fight so fiercely? Is it just idle?
Well, okay, not impossible.
But no matter what, he must be right now.
With his proficiency in car driving skills, he rushed left and right in the alley, but he was blocked by a smaller alley without going far.
The car couldn't get through, so he had to get out of the car and walk.
When I got off the car, I looked at the attribute panel of the player mode and found that many attributes and equipment were universal.
Actually, it’s true that no matter which model is essentially him, the different modes are just changing a layer of skin. After all, he is just a mimetic, not a transformation.
So those protective equipment protects him likewise.
He was relieved that the player's identity was still a little free after all. As long as he was not killed by the first wave of concentrated fire, he would have the chance to turn defeat into victory and then reap the reverse.
After walking for a while, he finally saw the center bar, which looked like an ordinary bar, but the people here were not ordinary.
This place is basically the city center, with high-rise buildings next to it, and there are many players, but compared to other places, it looks much more peaceful and has no red names, just like a safe area.
"Magic, it seems that not all players like to destroy wantonly."
He lived in a safe and orderly country all year round, and this kind of place gave him a natural favor, so he quickly walked out of the alley where he was secretly observing.
There was a man in black suit guarding the bar at the door of the bar. The people who were watching the come and go, and I wonder if they were alert to the troublemakers. Anyway, he did not stop him when he walked in.
When he pushed the door open, there were many people inside and the lights were colorful. He thought there would be deafening noisy music, but he didn't expect it to be a gentle and nice singing voice.
Looking at the performance stage, a beautiful woman in a red dress, NPC, was singing affectionately, her voice was melodious and her figure was shaking. She had a big star aura, and the people below were also intoxicated.
Seeing this situation, Peng Ke was sure that the person on the stage was he who wanted to find an awakened person, which could force players to change the rules by force the game company. The most popular star in the entire "Free City" - Mulan.
According to his understanding, it has now become a symbol of "Free City" and is considered a relatively famous virtual idol.
Since Mulan is positioned as a singer, the development team has created a lot of good songs for it to "sing". In addition, the model design is beautiful, and human society is extremely sensible, so Mulan quickly became popular.
There are more things to do after it becomes popular. Mulan can be killed like other NPCs. Some people deliberately beat Mulan into a sieve in order to enjoy it or satisfy certain desires.
Now, those players who come to listen to and appreciate beauty will stop doing it, so they are fighting every day.
Later, as Mulan became more and more famous, the hot-strike incident became more and more serious. Finally, the players united and started a vote.
The development team also realized the value of Mulan and immediately agreed to the voting request, turning Mulan into the only NPC in this game that cannot be killed.
According to the information description, in the real world, Mulan has also debuted as a carefully cultivated virtual idol, and Mulan in the game is just a prototype.
But it does not prevent a large number of players from supporting each day.
What Peng Ke has to do is to guess a punch from the other party and see if he can obtain an immortal skill from the other party.
