Monday, All Saints’ Day.
[I hope readers will remember our domain name Taiwan Novel Network →𝔱𝔴𝔨𝔞𝔫.𝔠𝔬𝔪]
Around seven o’clock in the evening, Wei Miao locked the door and put on a virtual helmet on the bed.
She wanted to go online in advance to see the specific rules of the entertainment mode.
[Iris recognition in progress... passed, welcome back! ]
[Announcement: The limited-time entertainment mode · All Saints’ Night is online and will be officially opened at 20:00 in the evening! ]
[Game rules: This entertainment mode is an asymmetric confrontation. A total of five players join in one game, one plays the role of a soul hunter, and four play the role of foreign travelers in the same camp. Players can choose their own roles. The basic mode of the dungeon is escape. ]
[Mode selection: Initial · Balanced mode - complete plot and escape process; Advanced · Rampage mode - directly enter the escape process, and some mechanisms have been changed. Players can choose the mode by themselves, and the rampage mode will be opened after the first round. Regardless of the mode, the player's attributes will completely follow the copy character and be fixed, and all entries, costumes, and identity markers will be disabled. ]
[Matching mechanism: This copy is independent of the ranking and the rank is calculated separately. The score is obtained through the settlement mechanism. In addition to the match of the first round, the players must be the same as the first round. The score difference between players in the same round is no more than 5. The traveler camp can form a multiplayer team. ]
[Please note: This entertainment mode is a single copy! In order to prevent players from obtaining relevant information through various channels before experiencing the first round, thereby destroying the plot experience and competitive fairness, the copy will activate the forgetting mechanism! In the first round, each player's relevant memories in the copy will be completely blocked and unlocked after passing the level. Multiple rounds do not trigger the forgetting mechanism. ]
[Settlement mechanism: During the event opening time, players can play unlimited times, but only the rewards of the first round will be settled. Subsequent multiple rounds of play will only give scores, comments, and wins and losses, and no more rewards will be obtained repeatedly. There is no curtain call at the end of the copy. ]
[Tip: The live broadcast right is banned by default in the first round. 】
The mechanisms of this entertainment mode have been specially designed. Wei Miao looked at the panel and began to think.
The rules of the game only explain the opposing camps and the number of people, but did not go into detail.
The mode selection shows that this is not a simple escape game. The crucial first round will include the plot, which may affect the final evaluation.
The matching mechanism was somewhat beyond Wei Miao's expectations. Unexpectedly, the entertainment mode has disrupted the player level again. With the three major bans and fixed attribute mechanisms, everyone is standing on the same starting line again.
A newbie with a disguise coefficient of 0 may match a big guy with a disguise coefficient of 35. After two weeks, those with high scores may not necessarily have a high level. They may also be heavy entertainment players who love entertainment games very much and rely on the number of games to pile up their scores.
Fixed copies will definitely be summarized by players in the end. People with a high number of games are more familiar with the copies. Even rookies can steadily improve after playing a hundred games.
As for the black team... Masquerade has long proved with examples that it will increase the strength of multi-row players.
The most eye-catching thing is the unprecedented "forgetting mechanism"! The Masquerade has demonstrated an unknown method of transmitting information through an invasive brain-computer interface, instilling language knowledge into the player's mind, or stimulating the brain to forget.
This time, it targets the dungeon-related memory, and it is not a simple forgetting, but a blocking. This kind of invasive and mysterious method is amazing, and one has to admire its efforts to maintain the balance of the game.
Wei Miao can already foresee the scene of fierce debate among players on the official website about the forgetting mechanism, and the method is shocking.
Unlimited play satisfies some idle players very well, and the system of only settling accounts after one round effectively protects the players' livers. No curtain call means that players cannot expand their social circles through the entertainment mode.
After roughly understanding the overall framework of the entertainment mode, the Masquerade also gave the details of the game operation.
[Winning conditions: Soul Hunter wins-kill all travelers before the end of the dungeon. Traveler wins, and one of the following three conditions is completed-at the end of the dungeon, there are still travelers alive; collect 10 holy lights before the end of the dungeon; ban the soul hunter at all times during the day. 】
【Instance process: At 9:00 a.m., players enter the instance at the same time and appear in the designated location, Sabo Town. Today is the All Saints' Day in the town. Players cannot leave Sabo Town on their own. 】
【Instance process is divided into three periods. Daytime: 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Nighttime: 6 p.m. to midnight. Hunting time: midnight to 6 a.m. the next day. 】
【During the day and night periods, travelers can use the "portable camera" to search for soul hunters and ban them; soul hunters transform into ordinary human appearances, lose special abilities, but cannot be killed. During the hunting period, soul hunters and travelers will enter a specific map, the Requiem Realm, to fight. 】
【Warning: If a player violates the regulations of Sabo Town during the day and night periods, he is likely to be arrested by the authorities in advance. If a player is successfully arrested by the authorities, the game is considered to have failed, the other party automatically wins, and the instance ends. 】
【Holy Light: The collection props in the instance only appear in the Requiem Realm during the hunting period. Refreshes randomly on the ground, and refreshes every 30 minutes. The total number of Holy Lights is 10 (excluding the extra gains from special skills). 】
[Special Mechanism · Candy Machine: Players can obtain All Saints’ Day candy by completing the commissions of special residents. There are three candy machines distributed in the Requiem Realm, and each candy machine sells different props. The appearance of the candy machine is similar to a small vending machine. Players can select props and pay for candy. Please note that soul hunters cannot use props. ]
[All Saints’ Day Candy: Also known as Odin brand candy. It looks fashionable and has a unique taste. It is highly sought after by people, so it is expensive, but its source is always unknown. In All Saints’ Day, it can be circulated as a special currency. ]
Specific pictures of holy light, candy machine and All Saints’ Day candy are also given next to the rules.
Holy light is a ball of golden light the size of a lead ball. It can only illuminate a few inches around it. It looks tangible and intangible, and is composed of pure light.
The shell of the candy machine has beautiful colorful stripes, about one person tall, and there don’t seem to be many slots behind the glass plate.
Wei Miao looked carefully and didn’t find the coin slot.
The packaging of the All Saints' Day candy is a small and exquisite pumpkin head, and the cracks of the eyes and mouth are sealed with gray velvet film, and the round red candy inside can be vaguely seen.
Unfortunately, the rules do not provide maps of Sabo Town and the Requiem Realm.
This time, there are too many dungeon mechanisms and it seems a bit complicated.
From the perspective of winning conditions, travelers have more options than soul hunters.
Combined with the character panel, the advantages and disadvantages of both sides can be analyzed more comprehensively.
