In the office …
Qian Kun and a few of the system designers were monitoring the battles in World of Martial Arts.
There were more than one hundred battles going on at the same time, and the number was still increasing. Qian Kun only needed to choose a battle, and a large map would appear on the screen to show the details of the battle.
The players of the righteous path were represented by green dots on the map, and the players of the evil path were represented by red dots. The NPCs were represented by blue and orange dots respectively. It could be clearly seen that the players were scattered in various regions of the map, and they were all searching for their own fortuitous encounters.
Battles often broke out on the map, especially at the places where the righteous path and evil path intersected. The players of the evil path were scheming to cause trouble and kill people. When Emei Sect was invaded, it was a battle between sects. However, the evil path had not made sufficient preparations, which was why they were forced to retreat.
Based on the current situation, it was still too early to predict the final outcome. However, the number of open and secret fights between the players had already increased.
Qian Kun zoomed in and observed a huge battle that was happening near Wudang Mountain in one of the games.
One hour and twenty minutes had already passed in the game, and it had already entered the later stages. The healing herbs of the sect leader of Wudang Sect had been snatched away by two players from the evil path, so the sect leader had basically lost his fighting strength. A few players from the evil path had snuck into Wudang Mountain, and while the disciples of Wudang Sect were not around, they massacred them.
Even though there were still some NPCs with decent combat abilities in Wudang Sect, the game had already entered the later stages. The combat abilities of the evil path players had long since surpassed those NPCs. The disciples of Wudang Sect had rushed back the moment Wudang Sect was attacked, but it was already too late. When they rushed back, there were already corpses all over the ground. All their resources had been taken, and even the sect leader's treasure, Pure Yang Sword, had been snatched away.
The battle had caused the righteous path to suffer a great blow, and there were still a few traitors in the righteous path who were busy fighting among themselves. Before the martial arts tournament even started, the righteous path was basically done for …
In another battle, the evil sect players were still not familiar with the rules of the game, which gave the righteous sects a lot of time to develop. Once the three great sects completed all the quests, the righteous sects organized the martial arts tournament much earlier than expected. The evil sect players were still in a state of confusion, and the righteous sect's allied army had already arrived at the entrance of their sects in a mighty wave.
There was also a match where the Evil Sects were on the verge of death. However, during a crucial battle, a righteous player who had been quietly developing his strength suddenly made a mistake and threw a dozen or so Thunderous Fireballs into the crowd. Martial Union's Alliance Master was killed on the spot, and the leaders of the three great sects were also heavily injured.
This traitor player directly joined the Evil Faction, and while he was quietly developing, he unexpectedly obtained the Yi Jin Jing + Solitary Nine Swords + Ao Tian Divine Sword combination of the godly equipment, directly opened a matchless in the crowd, slaughtering all the players of the Good Faction and Evil Faction, and then happily became the overlord of the martial world.
…
In these hundreds of matches, the progress of the players was completely different. Since the choices of the players and the NPCs were not fixed, every time the scenario progressed, they would face countless different choices. Sometimes, a slight difference would cause a chain reaction, and the ending of the game would develop in a completely different direction.
"How is it? The progress of the game is normal, right?" Chen Mo asked behind Qian Kun.
Qian Kun nodded. "It's completely normal. The Divine Eye is monitoring all the matches, and as of now, there are no reports of any abnormal data. The data regarding these matches is also being collected."
"Hmm, it's still a beta version," Chen Mo said. "I'll leave the balance of the data to you guys."
Qian Kun smiled. "Don't worry, manager. It's all good!"
In World of Martial Arts, Chen Mo also put in the Divine Eye system, which was similar to PlayerUnknown's Battleground. He used artificial intelligence to monitor the series of events that happened in the game.
The original intention of the Divine Eye system was to prevent cheating players and the appearance of cheats, but the combat system in World of Martial Arts was different from PlayerUnknown's Battleground. The chances of cheats appearing were much lower, and it was also relatively easy to monitor and ban cheats. Therefore, for World of Martial Arts, the anti-cheating system in the Divine Eye was just a bonus. It was the icing on the cake.
The more important use of the Divine Eye was to collect all sorts of large data in World of Martial Arts and create data analysis reports for the designers to analyze and adjust some of the settings in the game.
Although the entire map was filled with all sorts of strange encounters, and the strange encounters were mostly random, when the players made their choices, there was still the risk of homogenization. If the players discovered that a certain place frequently spawned strange encounters with a high cost-performance ratio, then the players' choices at the start might become homogenized.
Although this homogenization was not fatal, it would still negatively affect the players' gaming experience. Through the large data collection of the Divine Eye, the players could dynamically balance the strange encounter quests that had a lower cost-performance ratio than the original settings, allowing the players to have more fun in the game and increase the balance.
If this task was given to humans, even the most basic balance would cause them to be similar. But after the introduction of artificial intelligence, the relevant data balancing work became very easy.
…
An hour and a half later.
Zou Zhuo and Old Qin were already very fat.
When the two of them were searching in the northwest of the map, they accidentally ran into Zhuo Feifan, the abandoned disciple of Wudang Sect. The guy was looting corpses with his teammates from Sky Dragon Sect. It was obvious that they had just finished fighting.
Zou Zhuo and Old Qin attacked resolutely and killed the two people in a very extreme manner. They were almost killed instead.
Fortunately, the two of them had a lot of resources, and Old Qin was suddenly possessed by a black soul. He went crazy and killed the Sky Dragon Sect disciple, or else it would have been hard to say who would have eaten who.
This time, they got even more resources. Aside from a lot of weapons, medicinal pills, and martial arts manuals, there were also a few very important items.
The qi skill Tendon Changing Classic from the scripture library, and the Seven-colored Flower that the sect leader of Wudang Sect needed to heal his wounds.
Zou Zhuo was originally puzzled. Since the guy had already become a traitor and joined Sky Dragon Sect, why didn't he just throw the two items away? Then, wouldn't the sect quests of Wudang Sect and Shaolin Temple never be completed?
But after reading the description of the two items, Zou Zhuo understood.
Tendon Changing Classic was the best qi cultivation method in the game, so the learning speed was very slow. If it was destroyed, it meant that he could not learn the martial arts, which would be a huge loss.
The same applied to the Seven-colored Flower. It was not only a quest item, but it could also be eaten as a medicinal herb. Its effect was to restore the user's HP and physical strength, remove all negative statuses, and temporarily increase the user's qi by 20%.
Who would be willing to destroy such a good thing?
