Chapter 237 Whatever is unreasonable, there must be a deep meaning
Mr. Pei changed the game content a little?
Li Yada was a little surprised.
In her impression, Mr. Pei rarely seems to make changes to the content of the game personally.
If you want to change it, you usually say a few words directly to Lu Mingliang, and then Lu Mingliang will complete the specific changes.
But why did Mr. Pei change it himself this time?
Is it because I don't trust me?
Li Yada thought about it, there is no reason, if Mr. Pei doesn't trust me, how can he let me be the mastermind?
With some doubts, Li Yada returned to his workstation and looked at the changes to the game.
There aren't many changes, but the main ones are focused on one weapon.
The Zen staff, which was originally used to make up the numbers, has an enhanced version, added a glowing effect, and made a special way to obtain this weapon.
Li Yada took a closer look at the weapon, called "Purdue".
In terms of attributes, this is a weapon that is a little too strong in the early stage, and the damage is obviously supermodeled.
However, the swing speed of normal attacks remains the same, and the forward and backward swings of attacks are very long, which is not easy to control.
Of course, when designing, this weapon, like other two-handed heavy weapons, has a jump slash setting, which can speed up the shot through some operations.
In other words, if a player who can play this game gets this weapon, it will definitely greatly reduce the difficulty of the early battle.
But at the same time, this weapon also has great limitations, and using it to play game content other than the six reincarnation endings will not have a significant advantage over other weapons, and this weapon is basically useless in the second week.
Li Yada was a little puzzled.
Why did Mr. Pei deliberately make such a weapon?
Is it because Mr. Pei can't beat himself, so he planted a back door for himself?
Uh, it doesn't make sense.
If Mr. Pei thinks this game is too difficult, why not just lower the difficulty?
What's more, Mr. Pei, as a designer, doesn't need to clear this game.
Therefore, this possibility can be ruled out in the first place, and it must be for other reasons.
Could it be that this move has another meaning?
Li Yada thought about it carefully, the current difficulty of the game is indeed too difficult for ordinary players, and the ordinary monsters at the beginning will be gone after touching the player twice, which means that most players must strive to be harmless.
Although you can get the blood replenishment item soon, compared to the amount of blood dropped, the blood replenishment item is still a drop in the bucket.
In the final analysis, there are still high requirements for the player's operation level.
So, is Mr. Pei's weapon a rookie benefit? After getting this weapon, players who are more familiar with the game can at least clear the game and get through one of the endings?
Or is this a manifestation of Mr. Pei's benevolence?
There should be such a possibility.
That...... Why hide so deeply?
Li Yada noticed that the old monk who could drop the Zen staff was slashed by Mr. Pei, and he was not even as good as a mob.
And its location, and around the town, all the players who can fight here, most of them have already suffered a lot and killed a lot of monsters, so there's no reason why they can't beat it.
Even if you accidentally overturn, you can't roll over six times in a row, right?
Unless it is deliberately sent, it is difficult to think of what kind of player would die at the hands of this old monk six times.
Moreover, killing this old monk can get ordinary Zen staff and prayer beads, and the reward of collecting weapons + powerful consumable props in the early stage is impossible to refuse for most players.
In short, the weapon "Purdue" is buried too deeply, and I'm afraid 99.99% of players will not be able to trigger it!
If this weapon is a manifestation of Mr. Pei's benevolence to some players, why hide it in such a place where most players are impossible to find?
Li Yada fell into deep thought.
According to Bao Xu's predecessors, where there is something unreasonable, there must be a deep meaning.
Now, the setting of this weapon is very unreasonable!
"Why did it take six deaths and the seventh time for this old monk to become an nPc?"
"Does that number mean anything?"
Li Yada searched on Qiandu and found some information.
Although many statements are not uniform, and it is difficult for Li Yada to determine which statement Mr. Pei is adopting, it is still possible to roughly see the meaning of this number.
Of course, Li Yada doesn't understand too advanced Buddhism, Qiandu doesn't understand it, and the players don't understand it. Some specific meanings must be understood in a relatively shallow way, which is easier for players to accept.
"Seven" and "nine" are both relatively important numbers in Buddhism, for example, the saying "Nine Pins Lotus Terrace" shows that "nine" symbolizes the Great Perfection.
"Seven" has more meaning, it also represents consummation, but there is also a saying that "seven" represents small consummation.
In addition, it is said that when the Buddha was born, he walked as soon as he landed and walked seven steps. The first six steps represent the six paths, while the seventh step represents enlightenment, so "seven" is also used to express detachment.
"Dying seven times, can it represent consummation? That's not what it means. ”
"Strictly speaking, it should have died six times."
"So...... Should the first six times of death represent the six realms of reincarnation, and the seventh represents enlightenment? ”
"So, the weapon you got can only be used to open up the ending of the six realms of reincarnation?"
Li Yada synthesized his previous speculation and believed that this should be the most reasonable inference.
Dying six times represents six reincarnations, which means that the six reincarnations are opened for the player in advance, and the seventh time I see this old monk get "Pudu", he officially embarks on this ending route.
Not only can you jump directly from Huangquan Road to the Six Realms of Reincarnation to challenge the boss, but the weapons are also specially built for this ending.
As you can imagine, the player should have two reactions.
The first is that after getting the "Purdue", I can't think about it, I only know that I rely on the high damage of this weapon to carry out some battles that are not so high, and happily open up the six reincarnation endings.
The second is to be willing to give up the weapon of "Pudu" and use his own strength to fight other true endings.
Considering the original setting, the Six Realms of Reincarnation ending is a false ending, and the protagonist thinks he has escaped from this desperate world, but in fact he has just re-entered the same reincarnation.
And using "Purdue" to get through this ending will seem even more ironic!
Players who choose "Purdue" represent choosing an evasive mentality, not daring to face more difficult challenges, but just to protect themselves.
Only by giving up "Purdue" and picking up ordinary weapons can you truly get out of the sea of suffering by facing stronger enemies and facing more difficult challenges!
Thinking of this, Li Yada was simply stunned.
Now that I think about it, although the original setting is not bad, it still lacks a little bit of depth after all.
According to the original setting, this broken temple and the old monk are nothing more than an addition, whether they are beaten or not, it will not affect the content behind.
And the ending of the six reincarnations, the game experience is not much different from other endings.
But after Mr. Pei made these changes, everything became different.
The addition of the supermodel weapon "Purdue" directly puts a dilemma in front of all players: is to stay in the comfort zone and play a fake ending to deceive yourself; Or do you step out of your comfort zone and suffer while searching for the truth about this world?
This approach allows players to have a deeper understanding of different endings, and also gain a stronger sense of substitution and immersion!
