Compared to Infinite Horror, Adventures of the New Adventurer and Legend of the Mercenary were not as popular. After all, the quality of the games was indeed very different.
Infinite Horror allowed players to transform into low-level adventurers and experience all kinds of incredible adventures. Although these adventures were often a little scary and even had the nickname "The Game of the Brave", it was undeniable that the excitement of these adventures was beyond imagination. After experienced adventurers had experienced them, they said that they were at least 80% similar to real adventures. As for the two points that were deducted, one was that the matter was too bizarre. Most adventures in the real world were very ordinary, and there were not so many strange things. The other was that it was too dangerous, and the mortality rate was too high. Adventures in the real world were not that scary. If adventures in real life were so strange and had such a high mortality rate, then being an adventurer would be extremely dangerous. No one in their right mind would want to do it.
From another perspective, the name wasn't wrong. The game was indeed exciting and scary.
The other two games weren't as exciting. 'Adventures of a New Adventurer' was a simple word game. It mainly talked about how a person who knew nothing about adventures prepared for them and experienced the first few adventures. For people who had no experience in adventure and had never played this game before, it was an interesting science. For real adventurers, it was also a useful way to supplement their necessary knowledge. But as long as they played it enough and became familiar with the content, it would become boring.
On the other hand, "Legend of the Mercenary" was much more interesting than "New Adventurer's Adventure." Firstly, it had graphics, and the graphics were quite exquisite. The various monsters were very realistic. If anyone who had played it mistook the real monsters for the real ones, they would either have a problem with their eyes or their brains. Secondly, it was also very rich in content. It covered all kinds of common tasks, from helping people find lost items to exploring underground mazes and killing terrifying monsters. There was everything you could think of.
This game was actually very popular. People queued up every day to try it, but the number of people queuing up was far less than Infinite Horror. They were not on the same level at all. If a person was not in a hurry to play, as long as they booked a day or two in advance, they could almost play it effortlessly.
Moreover, there was another reason that determined the degree of popularity of the three games. The "Infinite Horror" game machine — assuming that the coffin-like crystal cylinder that allowed people to lie in could be counted as a game machine — was not for sale. If players wanted to experience it, they could only come to the Void Mask Temple. The game consoles of the other two games were sold to the public. As long as one built an altar dedicated to His Majesty the Void Mask at home, and continued to offer sacrifices every day in the form of fruits or food, then it could be used steadily.
Over the years, many rich families in Gars City had bought game machines. Even for middle-income families, a few families could buy one together. Everyone could take turns to play with it.
Because of the influence of the game console, the entertainment life of the residents in Gars City was relatively poor — at least in the eyes of many people elsewhere. They didn't go to the opera, and they weren't interested in other artistic projects. What they were most passionate about was returning home to play games. There was even a famous scholar who commented on this city, "This is an ocean of money, but a desert of culture."
"Is it really that exaggerated?" Sui Xiong came to Leon's office and talked to him about the game console. As they chatted, they talked about this comment. Sui Xiong was shocked and asked doubtfully, "Have the people of Gars really become an army of internet addicts?"
"An army of internet addicts? What is that? "
"It's a group of poor people who are said to need a certain Professor Yang to give them an electric shock … Have the people of Gars City really reached the point where they almost spend all their spare time playing games?"
Leon smiled and shook his head, "How is it possible! However, for most of the rich people in Gars, in addition to eating and drinking, going out to relax or traveling, the most common entertainment in their spare time is indeed games. Their main game is' Legend of the Mercenary. 'Last time I counted, there were about more than 20,000 fixed players in the entire Gars City. "
"Damn … 20,000 people?!" Sui Xiong was shocked. "I remember that the game console of that game seems to cost 500 gold coins, right? 20,000 people, isn't it tens of millions of gold coins?! Are the people of Gars so rich?! "
"You're wrong. In fact, most players buy a game console with a few people. It is rare for one person to enjoy a game console alone. According to my statistics, at present, on average, every five people have a game console. "
Sui Xiong calculated and couldn't help but marvel.
Five people for a game console, that was an average expenditure of 100 gold coins per person. 100 gold coins was not a small number. Generally, it was only one or two thousand gold coins to hunt down a dangerous wanted criminal.
Moreover, 20,000 players, on average, each person had 100 gold coins, so it added up to two million gold coins! Two million gold coins was also not a small number! Even the treasury of the Kingdom of the Blue Moon might not be able to take out so many gold coins at once.
"Are the people of Gars so rich?" Sui Xiong couldn't help but ask.
"Almost. After all, it is the accumulation of many years. And Kalisa has held several subsidy activities to buy game consoles … Piecemeal, the average expenditure of each player on the game console is actually less than 60 gold coins. "
"Less than 60 gold coins is also a lot!"
"For farmers, it is a lot, but for a bustling big city like Gars … How should I put it, although it is still a lot, it is still valuable in general," Leon said. Leon said, "Moreover, even the simplest 'Adventures of a New Adventurer' can be used to obtain basic knowledge about adventuring. And it also comes with a basic literacy teaching system. Think about it, just using it to learn to read and write, 60 gold coins is not a lot, right? "
Sui Xiong thought about it and nodded.
In this world, learning to read and write was indeed a very costly thing. Only 60 gold coins could buy a set of tools that could be used for many years to let people learn the basic common language. Thinking about it this way, it did not seem to be very expensive.
"So, the literacy rate of the people of Gars is actually very high," Leon said with a smile. Leon said with a smile. "Back then, after that scholar criticized her, Kalisa was very dissatisfied. She organized a large group of people to debate with him. There were more than a thousand citizens. He had never seen so many scholars flocking to him, so he was scared shitless and immediately ran away. "
Sui Xiong listened and couldn't help but laugh.
If the players on Earth could also be so strong, how good it would be!
