Chapter 93: How to Obtain Merit (Fifth Update)
In order to better experience the world of "The Healer" in the official version, Chen Rang specially purchased a Kirin VR all-in-one machine and placed it in his study.
Before the official release of "The Healer", he had used an all-in-one VR machine to experience other games from Fangcheng Studio, and felt that VR was an absolute plus for these games.
But compared to Mu Kui, these games are really boring.
Entering the official version, Chen Rang found that the game's graphics have become more delicate, the operation feel has become more in place, the senses between people and the game world have been further improved, and the authenticity of the game has once again achieved a qualitative breakthrough.
The place of birth was still the same as before, a place in the Lost Valley. He continued to move forward along the path. He walked through the woods full of eyes, waded through the black river, avoided the night owls in the sky, and continued along the glowing path. Moving forward, we finally saw the abandoned Taoist temple.
The girl dressed in white sat beside the bonfire, and the red bonfire reflected her beautifully.
She was still the same as she was more than a month ago, perfect and beautiful, and the corn cob in her hand was still screaming and making an inhuman sound.
Seeing Chen Rang walking over, she raised her head and said in the same cheerful voice as she remembered: "Hey, you're here again. Who is in your body today?"
Sure enough...
she didn't remember me...
but Seeing the familiar smile of the other party, Chen Rang was ready to re-establish feelings and said seriously: "I am..."
Before he could finish his words, the girl held her belly and started laughing.
Wiping away the tears of laughter from her eyes, she stood up and gave Chen Rang a big hug.
Mu Kui's voice sounded in her ears, soft and long, with the taste of memories, as sweet as cotton candy.
"You're kidding, I remember you, Chen Rang. Welcome back, my partner."
The somatosensory gloves conveyed the feeling of the hug.
Memories poured out like running water, making Chen Rang sigh from the bottom of his heart:
This game...
is great!
Holding Chen Rang's hand, Mu Kui walked in front and said as he walked: "The merits on you are gone, but it doesn't matter, we can just make more... Okay, actually, your previous merits are with me, but I Eat them all."
"You still want to eat merit?" Chen Rang held the other person's hand and asked doubtfully.
"Of course, we messengers of heaven rely on merit to live. But we actually will not die. When our merit is gone, we will return to heaven, and we will come again next time." "Why is there
such a weird setting? !"
"I don't know. We messengers of heaven need to rely on merit to exist. Of course, you can also use these merits to strengthen yourself, just like before."
Chen Rang nodded, indicating that he understood.
"When you come back this time, you need to follow the official version. Wait a minute while I prepare my emotions." After
coughing, Mu Kui covered his head and said mysteriously: "You are a distant stranger..."
"Is it so fun?"
"It's okay. Shut up and listen to me. This world has been corrupted by disease, and the core of the planet has become the source of disease. It releases disease every moment, and all living creatures are affected by it. Decay, turn into filth. And you, my partner, join me on the journey to save the world. By the way, there are still 2.4 million doctors like you." "
So many!"
Mu Kuiwu Shut up, and said with a snicker: "You don't think you can handle everything by yourself, do you? The power of a single doctor is very small, you need to unite." "Will I meet
those doctors?"
" Of course, we are distributed on four different planets. Different planets have different climates, and there are even human survivors in some places. How about, partner, are you interested in exploring this world with me? Let’s put those delicious Eat it all over. Oops, I forgot that you don’t have the function of taste buds. Hahaha, look at you, look at you!"
Looking at Mu Kui who unscrupulously exposed his scars, Chen Rang felt a little angry, but more importantly kind.
In a world full of decay, it's nice to have a companion like this.
In Chen Rang's view, the world of "The Healer" is no longer a game, but a home.
A home that carries one's dream of traveling through time and is supported by a partner.
"Okay, don't talk nonsense there. Have you figured out where to go next?"
Chen Rang, who was awakened by Mu Kui, thought for a while, and then said: "Backwater Lake? There seemed to be humans there last time. Traces, I want to go shopping."
"Okay, let's go."
The world of "The Healer" is an open world. Players need to rely on merit to cast spells, repair the way of heaven, and expel evil spirits to gain merit.
The fastest way to obtain merit is to complete the tasks of local residents, so as to obtain the most merit.
You can also get a lot of merit by killing huge sick beasts, but sick beasts are monsters where disease energy enters the body and forms a demonic core in the body.
They may be extremely powerful, or they may come and go like the wind. Before accumulating a lot of merit, you must hide far away from these monsters, otherwise your life will be in danger.
After deciding on the next stop, Chen Rang was just about to set off when he heard rapid breathing.
Turning his head, he saw a wild boar as tall as one person jumping out behind him, looking at them with red eyes.
The wild boar's body is surrounded by black air, and the large carbuncles look like distorted faces. Moans are constantly coming from inside, as if they are mournful cries from the underworld.
Seeing such a guy, Chen Rang immediately blocked Mu Kui behind him, but was immediately pushed aside by Mu Kui.
"You have no merit at all, why are you standing in front of me! Just don't move, I'll lure it away!"
After saying that, Mu Kui ran away, with the wild boar chasing after him, but not long after, Mu Kui After running back in a detour, a princess held Chen Rang in her arms and rushed towards the distance.
Behind them, a dozen diseased wild boars appeared and ran towards them.
Chen Rang's face turned pale when he saw these guys.
"Elite monsters appear as soon as we come up. Is this place so dangerous?"
"You haven't been here for more than a month. What's wrong with more monsters?"
"The monsters here even breed by themselves!"
"What do you think! You Domestic animals don't breed!"
This setting left Chen Rang completely speechless.
For creating such a realistic setting in a place like this, Fangcheng Studio, you are so cruel!
The wild boar chased closely, and the distance between them narrowed little by little.
In the end, Mu Kui was trampled to pieces, and Chen Rang, who was being held in his arms, disappeared into thin air.
When he woke up again, he found that he had returned to his original state.
During the beta version, he never encountered a powerful enough monster and was so absorbed in the interaction with Mu Kui that he completely forgot that this world is essentially a very dangerous world.
Monsters are everywhere and evil spirits abound. The whole world is actually a mess and there is no paradise.
After correcting his thoughts, he suddenly heard Mu Kui's voice: "Hey, you're awake."
"Well, Mu Kui, you..." Turning his head, Chen Rang was stunned.
He is a player, his body is anchored by the spirit gathering array, and he can be resurrected without limit.
But Mu Kui is different.
She is essentially an NPC here and does not have the function of infinite resurrection.
Although she can use merit to repair herself, she has not seen much merit in her body for a long time.
After being attacked by the wild boar monster this time, Mu Kui's body was riddled with holes.
Her clothes were full of mud, the skin on her body was cracked, and there was nothing underneath.
Realizing that Chen Rang was looking at her, she restrainedly covered the damaged area with her clothes, then smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I was running too slow."
"You should have lost mine then! You can definitely run away by yourself. "
Oh, I forgot. I'll do it next time."
Looking at Mu Kui, who stuck out her tongue and tried to be cute, Chen Rang knew that the other party wouldn't abandon him next time.
She is Mu Kui, a puppet of Heaven and a tool to help her purify the world.
But she is Mu Kui, a delicious foodie, a person who criticizes herself from time to time, but always puts herself first.
The burden of saving the world is too heavy. Players are just here to play games and cannot bear such a big responsibility.
But for Mu Kui, Chen Rang felt that he could do anything.
Helping Mu Kui, who was covered in wounds, Chen Rang had strong confidence in the game for the first time.
He wants to accumulate merit and save the world.
He doesn't want to be the savior of the world, he just wants to be one man's hero.
On the seventh day after the game was officially released, the game finally entered a stable period.
The number of downloads has exceeded three million, and it is developing towards four million.
Mu Kui in the game is a very good setting. Mu Kui with diverse personalities is an extension of the laws of heaven. Different Mu Kui has different personalities and is a good helper for players to explore the world.
The cute appearance and changeable personality make Mu Kui the most popular NPC in the game. Although some people have more than normal admiration for the NPC, most players still regard it as a good partner and grow and improve together.
Staring at the mortal fire represented by "The Healer", Fang Cheng found that overall, the tone of the game was developing in the direction he wanted.
The blue flame is burning, and players are playing the role of doctors, constantly saving the world and slowly repairing the world's diseases.
Looking at the players' performance with satisfaction, Fang Cheng felt that he did a good job this time.
This time, his restrictions on the players are stricter, and the players can only choose to obtain merit and improve themselves.
And judging from the feedback from players, they also like this way of playing.
The area of the four planets is extremely large, and as the players' strength increases, deeper areas will be opened, where there are more terrifying diseases and deeper secrets. I believe players will have a great time.
Taking a long breath, Fang Cheng felt that he was stable this time.
The blue red dust fire has no abnormal color and is pure and flawless, representing the players' consistent pursuit of merit.
If this demonstration is successful, let Mu Kui come here from the mirror universe, so that every player will have a good partner by his side!
Because of the smooth progress, Fang Cheng could feel that his Dao Heart was rounding out. He only needed to warm it up for a few more days until the Red Dust Fire was completely stable, then he could complete the Dao Heart.
While Fang Cheng was repairing his heart, discussions about the game were also in full swing in the unofficial group of players.
There are many unofficial groups for Fangcheng Studio's games, and each group has a different purpose.
Some are to find more and better female NPCs, and some are to study better playing methods.
Because the types of games are different, the functions of the group will also be different.
The most discussed group at present is the merit group.
Players have already understood the general gameplay of "The Healer". Whether the player is raising a wife, a sister or a daughter, a large amount of merit is necessary.
Therefore, what players in the group discuss most is how to obtain merit.
[The merit is not enough...]
[Me too, I want to feed my sunflowers more but I can't. 】
【I want to have a magical power so that I can fly to the skeletons in the sky and explore them. But the magical power of flying requires 30,000 accumulated merits. Where can I get so many merits? ]
[Me too, I tried my best to help a group of victims get out of trouble, and helped them get rid of their illness. In the end, I had three hundred merits. If I had known earlier, I would have learned more offensive spells and then caused trouble for the disease. ]
[No, it's troublesome to get rid of the disease. It was hard to find a place, but it was gone in a few seconds. It was still slow to refresh the disease, so it was troublesome to change places back and forth. ]
[Although, but...can't this game have a krypton gold function? I'm absolutely blown away! 】
【Me too, this is the first time I hope a game can offer monetization, even if there is only a monthly card, I am willing. 】
【If you want merit, can't you just release animals? Last time I released a group of vipers in my community, and I feel full of merits now. ]
[Group leader, please call the police and kick this guy out. How did this person get in! ]
While a group of people were sighing, a player asked doubtfully: [Um, is merit so hard to come by? ]
[Group leader, call the police, kick...wait! ]
I saw a player named Xiemenheidao throw out a screenshot, which was clearly his merit in the game.
Seeing the opponent's merit count, all the players took a breath.
Emma, I am afraid this person is not a good person in ten generations!
With more than 10,000 merits, he stands out in the game group, and players are asking how the other party has so many merits.
[When I was exploring, I realized I couldn’t go back, so I prepared to jump off the cliff and return to my birth point. But when he landed, he accidentally killed an NPC. ]
[Is this okay? Where does that merit come from? 】
【That's it. Afterwards, I discovered that this guy was a famous thief in the neighborhood and had several lives on his body, but I accidentally killed him. 】
After reading the description of the evil heretic, the players fell silent.
This game imposes restrictions on player behavior. Players cannot engage in behavior that will deduct merit, and generally defaults to criminal behavior.
But the evil heretics seem to have pointed out a clear way.
Who has stipulated that killing people cannot gain merit?
Sorry for the long wait. I wasn’t very satisfied with the chapter I wrote before, but I feel much better after revising it.
