When believers of the God of Games enjoyed the joy of the game and loved it from the bottom of their hearts, Xi Wei, as the God of Games, would receive divine energy as well.
In fact, before Xi Wei transmigrated, the God of Games was born from such divine energy, and he survived until the fall of Tierra.
That was why Xi Wei immediately turned his attention to this when he thought about how to obtain new divine energy.
Rewards were just motivation for the Players to play the game. What truly made the Players happy was the game itself.
Of the three games that tested the waters, the most popular was neither 'Thunder', which consumed the most divine power to make, nor was it the poker game that Xi Wei had the most faith in. Instead, it was' Tierra Blocks', the least eye-catching of the three.
Naturally, it was Tetris, a game that Xi Wei had copied from Earth.
Tetris was a magical game back on Earth, and it had been played on countless platforms since its birth in 1984, even winning the Guinness World Record in that regard.
It was simple, easy to understand, and filled with magic that made people want to play it again and again.
Almost anyone who had played video games would have heard of its name, and it was still shining brightly on various gaming platforms even now.
Moreover, as the granddaddy of the three games, Tetris had all the advantages of the three games. It could be played as soon as it was picked up, and it did not require much effort. Moreover, the feedback was excellent, and every time a player cleared a row, they would feel a great sense of achievement.
Compared to Thunder, which was more hardcore and required a longer time to complete, Tetris was a casual game that allowed players to play casually during their breaks. It could not only relieve the boredom of carrying bricks, but it could also soothe the restlessness after killing in the dungeon. It was a perfect use of the players' time.
Moreover, it was cheaper than Thunder, and could be started with 1 game coin, which made it no surprise that it was popular among the Players.
Now, the first thing that Players said the most when they met had changed from 'Have you cleared the dungeon?' to 'How many points do you have?', and heaven knows what would happen after a while …
On the other hand, Thunder was highly praised among the Players, with some even believing that it was a trial given to them by the God of Games and that they could change class to a knight if they passed. However, the other Players refuted the idea that all classes could play the game. Still, each stage took too much time, and aside from those who waited in the black hut to be revived, the Players would only play a round or two at night before resting to satisfy their gryphon knight cravings.
On the other hand, the poker game Great Revolution that Xi Wei had high hopes for was almost dead. While it wasn't to the point where no one was interested in it, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it was completely deserted.
But thinking about it, it was normal.
After all, Xi Wei had made the poker game out of a whim based on how popular games like Fight the Landlord were back on Earth, and hadn't considered the reality of this world.
That being said, this world already had similar gambling entertainment, and the Players had little to no interest in poker, which was why it was not as popular as the other two games. Secondly, unlike Thunder and Tierra Blocks which could be played with coins, Great Revolution was a game similar to Dou Dizhu and required at least four players to start.
Players weren't the type to laze around at home and play games all day, and it was impossible for them to stay on the gaming platform all the time. Moreover, there were just over two hundred Players at the moment, and it was exceedingly difficult to get four players to play.
It was precisely because of these various reasons that the poker game was failing miserably.
Still, Xi Wei wasn't discouraged. When the number of Players increased in the future, such games with a certain degree of social interaction would become the most popular.
Some might think that Xi Wei's creation of that electronic sea was to cripple the Players, but that wasn't actually the case.
Even in the society before Xi Wei's transmigration, it wasn't hard to find that those who were often criticized for being addicted to games were usually students.
On the other hand, adults, especially those with proper jobs, were almost never addicted to games. At most, they would play a round or two of fast-paced games like League of Legends after work.
The reason was simple. It was because students did not have the pressure of life, nor did they have a clear goal to strive for. They would only get addicted to games when they had poor self-control. In contrast, adults had financial pressures and were busy at work every day. They did not have the time to get addicted to games. Even those who liked to play games when they were young would often throw them aside after buying game consoles and various AAA masterpieces when they grew up …
As for why there would always be people who would criticize games as the root of all evil, it was naturally because some useless parents didn't have the ability to educate their children. However, their pride was so strong that they wouldn't find fault with themselves, and would instead try their best to find other reasons. In such times, video games were clearly the best scapegoat, and were often dragged out for all sorts of target practice.
By the way, it was also worth mentioning that web novels and animations were the Three Scapegoats in the world of children's education.
On the other hand, the Players of this world were essentially Xi Wei's believers. Their lives were barely at the level of prosperity, but almost everyone understood that such a life wasn't easy to come by. The God of Games wasn't a religion that could be openly proclaimed in other cities, and if they didn't work hard to improve themselves, they might face a calamity like Tierra's fall in the future.
Moreover, carrying bricks and clearing dungeons would provide the Players with game-like feedback, which was why they wouldn't get addicted to games, and merely treat it as a pastime after meals.
That's right. Xi Wei was certain that his Players wouldn't become people who would get addicted to games day and night!
"Why can't I get into the top thirty?! Or should I say, how do those guys survive when the entire screen is filled with magic? Are all the Players who could get into the top thirty of Thunder's leaderboard monsters?! "
Feeling strangely tired, Marni put down the game while cursing. But just as he was about to head to the forums to post, his vision blurred.
In the next split second, he appeared beside the Lifestone.
Gaping at the familiar sight before him, Marni muttered in surprise. "I actually played for three whole days?! No, I have to level up and replenish my EXP … but before that, I'll play a round of Tierra Blocks to relax. Steam platform, activate! "
Xi Wei: …
Hmm, probably not.
