Chapter 184 You can’t refuse the lottery, right?
When Lind first entered the Banshee Dream, he grasped its characteristics. It seemed like a place of punishment and horror, but as long as he changed his mindset and regarded death as part of the game, the Banshee Dream would be more attractive to the undead than ever before.
Pigeon Rush is a relatively niche game type, with characteristics such as randomness, one-way, high punishment, and high degree of freedom.
High penalties don’t mean no one likes it. Starting over again after death is the charm of the roguelike game. There are new surprises in every game.
Because of the various weapon combinations and the randomness of the game, you can get a brand new experience every time you restart the game, which is worth chewing over and over again.
In a game, you can combine different weapons to build your own build, finally create the most perfect final form that matches your inner imagination, and then crush the enemy. This is the core fun of the rogue game.
And the fun does not disappear after completing the game once. On the contrary, you can try and play the game as many times as you want, because every game is different, which will only make it more fun.
For the NPCs living in this world, the [Banshee Horn] is a very terrifying cursed weapon. The prerequisite for its use is that someone has completed a normal sacrifice trial. If there is even the slightest mistake, the only outcome will be death.
Even if you stumble to the altar on the top of the mountain, you will still be overwhelmed by a feeling of powerlessness when facing the corpse dragon on the top of the mountain. In the end, all your hard work only brings you the chance to leave alive.
But for the undead, death and resurrection are part of their game.
Aside from the fact that their level would drop if they forcefully advanced to level 11 by drinking a potion, the penalty of death was not too great for them.
At this stage, the points required to redeem a spell potion are not many, and the undead can easily get them.
Compared with the punishment, the new game mechanism is more popular with the undead.
There are many weapons and equipment buried in the Banshee's dream, and the undead can obtain them through killing, looting, and stealing.
These weapons allow the undead to quickly increase their levels without limit in a short period of time.
At level 21, 31, or even 41, your attributes become stronger and you can perform more difficult moves, which is something that the undead, whose level cap is currently locked at level 10, cannot experience.
It's worth it just for one fun game.
In front of the square, the bodies of the undead exploded and turned into ashes, but they would soon run back excitedly.
"I took a weapon and it directly raised me to level 30!"
"I got a sword that can shoot torrents of fire and night. I can snipe from 100 meters away. It's so cool, but the damage is a bit low."
"That set of armor is so cool, I wonder if it will appear in the game in the future."
Excited discussions like these filled the square of Star Dragon City.
For dozens of hours, the undead people madly entered the banshee's dream to "die", with smiles on their faces, moving forward courageously. Every death brought regret, but successfully moving one step closer to the top of the mountain made them excited.
But Selina, the female ghost guarding the dream, became more and more confused.
She guided the undead forward in countless dreams. In the beginning, some undead would talk to her, but later they rushed out as soon as they appeared, leaving Selina speechless several times.
As a large number of undead people started to explore the game, relevant data and strategies for the monsters in Banshee's Dream were gradually studied out.
Some people even try to study the ecology of monsters by analyzing their habits.
The most popular one is of course the weapon encyclopedia.
The weapon illustrations were organized into tables and listed one by one.
Moreover, this fight is not just a pleasant game for the undead. They are more focused on challenging stronger enemies, and their killing skills are rapidly improving under the threat of "death will come again".
It is precisely because there is no chance to relax that this game becomes so emotionally charged.
Keep moving forward, fighting, moving forward, and fighting again. The short time and no chance to breathe provide a great catharsis for the undead.
But soon the undead people encountered a new problem. The Banshee Dream Dungeon was indeed fun, and they could experience all kinds of new weapons and equipment that they had never seen or heard of, as well as various BOSS battles, but the points consumption was a bit too much. The points cost for entering the dungeon once was indeed not high, but they died quickly.
Some undead people who felt sorry for their points chose not to experience it anymore. Not everyone likes to kill crazily. There are also many enthusiasts of social farming.
Lind held a star dragon stone in his hand, his eyes fixed on the light refracted after entering the gem. He had already figured out how to make the undead voluntarily continue to drop points into the Banshee's dream, and the method lay in the stone in his hand.
After the undead complete various tasks and submit them, the territory pays them points and money as rewards. The two parties have only completed the transaction preliminarily.
The real transaction is completed when the undead use their points to redeem various services in the territory.
Points are exchanged for path potions, skills, special trap props, etc. Only then can the two parties truly complete the transaction.
However, many undead people have no need to spend points, yet they earn points every day. The accumulation of a large number of points means that Lind has a lot of responsibilities waiting to be fulfilled.
Whether they are planning to stock up a large amount to exchange for traps, or buying out various potions, Linde will be under tremendous pressure in warehousing and other aspects.
The production lines west of the Honglong Mountain foothills are also under tremendous pressure.
Therefore, how to make the undead waste points quickly is something Lind must consider.
It is impossible for him to actually deliver all the services one by one, as that would make him a merchant who sells at a low profit but in large quantities. This would not work even if he could earn dozens of times the profit through the information gap and exchanges with the undead.
What he wants is to take all the profits and provide as little service as possible.
Banshee Dream solves this problem to a certain extent. Points must be paid to enter. If successful, Lind can also get a chance to use the [Banshee Horn].
Win twice!
But there are still undead people who are reluctant to spend their points, and do not like the game mode of Banshee Dream. Or to put it more bluntly, this mode is fun to play, but what can I get even if I clear it?
Their stingy behavior is like a butcher's knife hanging over Lind's head, which may be stabbed down at any time and anywhere.
This is the time to use the Star Dragon Stone in Lind's hand.
The Star Dragon Stone, made from [Gold Medal] and various gemstones, was given a unique currency function by Lind.
Recently, Duomei is replicating a super-large mechanical magic circle inside Star Dragon City. Every day, undead people come to "sell their physical strength" to provide energy.
There is a huge room under the Lord's Hall in Lind, which is filled with various machines and glass jars for storing energy.
There is enough energy, although the computing power is much worse. Many undead people have found that the Lion Badge is not as smart as before, but it doesn’t matter. The pure code program can still make the Lion Badge work. The only difference is that it is not optimized well and causes lag.
As long as you give points, that group of Mediterranean undead people will be very happy to come and help.
The Star Dragon Stone has a unique number, which is bound to the number of the Lion Badge as currency, ensuring that it cannot be used by anyone other than the person himself.
After use, the Star Dragon Stone will turn into a waste stone, waiting to be recycled and re-injected with a new number, and then re-bound to the undead, so that it can be used as currency again.
As for its function, it is also very simple.
lottery!
Fighting and killing may not attract you, but you can't refuse the lottery, right?
You draw from the jackpot with your eyes closed, but I put the rewards in with my eyes open.
【Today's 10,000 words】
It's very funny. I drank two cans of Red Bull last night and planned to write 10,000 words. Then, because I drank too much Red Bull, I felt upset in my stomach. I stayed up late, but I had diarrhea and kept going until three or four o'clock.
