Qian Kun scratched his head, "Let players act as NPCs? Wow, that's a good idea. "
Indeed, how would they mix the players and NPCs? If the NPCs weren't smart enough to act as players, then it would be the other way around.
This meant that seventy NPCs and twenty-four players would act as more than one hundred Wulin characters, and only one of them would emerge as the leader or overlord of Wulin.
"To allow the players to blend in better with the NPCs, we'll need to provide some mechanisms.
"First, we'll remove the in-game voice chat function. Only players in the same party can chat privately, and the content will be kept secret. All contact between Wulin characters will be automatically done by the system.
"In other words, when players run into each other, the conversations they trigger will be the same as when NPCs run into NPCs, and when players run into NPCs. Daily conversations and small talk will be done by the AI. When it comes to a choice, the players will only be provided with the corresponding options.
"When making a choice, the players will only have a few seconds to decide. Correspondingly, the NPCs will also take a random amount of time to react. For example, a Wudang Sect disciple looking for a Shaolin Temple disciple to explore a certain location. The Shaolin Temple disciple will have ten seconds to choose one of the options. After choosing, the corresponding dialogue will be triggered, and the entire conversation will be completed by the AI.
"Note that the Wudang Sect disciples and Shaolin Temple disciples here could be players or NPCs. If the players don't reveal their identity, it's impossible to determine their identity from the game's mechanics.
"That's just a case of 'disguise'. The relationship between martial artists can also be hostile. Players can attack any martial artist at will, regardless of whether they are NPCs or players, but if they do so, they will have to bear the corresponding consequences. For example, making enemies, being hunted down by the sect for revenge, and so on.
"The players won't be able to determine how many of the twenty-four players are left. They only know how many Wulin characters are left. When a Wulin character is killed, if their corpse is found, or if they go missing for a long time, the news will spread, and all players will know about it.
"In other words, for the players, the core content of the game is:
"Survive to the end, gain enough Wulin, and fight for the position of leader or overlord of Wulin.
"There are no restrictions on what strategies players can use. Players can pretend to be NPCs and hide from the start until the end. They have ultimate skills, but they will look like normal soldiers. They can also reveal their identity as players in a flashy manner and kill all the martial artists. "
"In order to help players better achieve the goal of disguising themselves as NPCs, we will provide players with a perfect artificial intelligence system. For example, if Player A's strength (including Neigong and moves) was much higher than Player B's, and Player B wanted to sneak attack Player A, even if Player A himself didn't notice, his character would automatically dodge to reduce the damage he received. According to common sense, it's almost impossible for a weakling to mount a sneak attack on a powerful hero. "
"Therefore, in a situation where there is a great disparity in strength between the two sides, if the weak want to defeat the strong, we can't solve the problem with force. We can either use life skills or high-level poisons, or we can surround them with numbers."
"Next, it's the issue of player identity."
"All players will play the role of a young hero born in a certain sect."
"The sects in the game include: Shaolin, Wudang, Beggar's Sect, Xiaoyao, Emei, Tang Sect, Hua Shan, Eight Trigrams School, Hidden Sword Villa, Five Venoms, Heavenly Dragon, and Shifting Flower Palace."
"Nine righteous sects, three evil sects. The players' sect attributes will be bound to them from the start to the end, and they will need to wear the sect's uniform. In other words, the identity of players and NPCs will be directly marked in the game. When the players do something that goes against the sect's position, there is a possibility that they will be exposed. "
"Every sect has beginner martial arts and advanced martial arts. When the players contribute to the sect to a certain value, they can learn the advanced martial arts from their master. Apart from that, the map also has all sorts of fortuitous encounters, including martial arts, weapons, special items, and so on. The distribution is completely random. Kill a martial artist, and you can take all the items from him. "
"After that is the rules of the players' birth. There are 12 sects and 24 players, which means that each sect will be assigned two players. Players in the same party will not necessarily be assigned to the same sect. As long as there is one player in the party who survives to the end, the entire party will be declared the winner. In other words, the same party may be split into different sects of the righteous and evil sects. As for whether they want to take the righteous or evil path, it is completely up to the players to decide. "
"The players' beginner combat strength is completely equal, which means that the beginner combat strength of the twelve sects is the same. However, righteous and evil cannot coexist. The default goal of the righteous sects is to be the leader of the martial arts world, while the default goal of the evil sects is to be the overlord of the martial arts world. The righteous and evil sects are unconditionally opposed, and the righteous and evil sects working together is the same as betraying the sect. "
"Players who are born in the righteous sects must betray the sect if they want to be the overlord of the martial arts world (or vice versa). After the first betrayal, the opposing forces will accept them unconditionally. They can betray again, but they can only be alone. "
"Considering that there are only three sects in the evil sects and they are in a weak position, a corresponding balance has been made in the game mechanism."
"First of all, based on the background of the game, the world of martial artists is in turmoil, and all the famous righteous sects are facing danger. For example, Shaolin Sect's Sutra Library was stolen, Wudang Sect's leader was poisoned, Beggar's Sect's leader went missing, and so on. At that time, the three evil sects, Five Poisons, Heavenly Dragon, and Shifting Flower Palace, are eyeing the Chinese world of martial artists with hostility. They want to become the overlords of the martial arts world. "
"Players who are born in the righteous sects can not only search for fortuitous encounters on the map, but also complete quests from various sects. For example, if they help Shaolin Sect find the stolen sutra, they can obtain high-grade qi cultivation techniques, if they help Wudang Sect's leader cure the poison, they can obtain Taichi Sword Technique, and so on. As for the evil faction players, they have to do everything they can to cause destruction. For example, they have to find and destroy the herb that can cure the poison of the Wudang Sect Leader. After completing the mission, they can also obtain items or ask the Cult Leader for higher level martial arts. "
