He hadn't had time to read it before, because he was busy with barbecue, ah no, it was fighting against mermaids, but now Bai Liu looked at the information on the panel and couldn't help squinting his eyes.

[Sub-task: Jeref's Bloody Conspiracy, 90% complete]

Andre has been killed, the driver has also been burned to death by Bai Liu, and there is still 10% progress in this side mission... How to push this 10% [Bloody Conspiracy]?

[Point balance: 684, do you want to buy props? 】

Bai Liu stared at the suddenly rising number of points for a while, then opened the panel, clicked to view the details of the points, and found that more than 500 points were from [Charging].

That is to say, he spent a whole night last night, and more than 80% of the points were not earned from completing tasks in the game system, but from rewards from those [spectators].

Bai Liu thought about it—in other words, [spectator] points are easier to earn than game points, and they are much more.

This is unreasonable, because the rewards of the game itself are lower than the rewards outside the game, which will make players passive in the game, make players make some trade-offs in order to please things outside the game, or simply stop playing and use some The gimmick means to attract the audience, wouldn’t it be good to let the audience give a reward?

Especially when the points can be used to buy items directly, if the points obtained by tipping are sufficient, for Bai Liu, he can buy a large number of items, and then violently clear the level, so that the game will have no experience at all.

Bai Liu would not be able to design this kind of game, and he felt that this system would not be able to either.

There must be some kind of reward in this game, which can balance the reward system inside and outside the game, so that players want to get rewards from inside the game, rather than outside the game.

Bai Liu flipped the coin over and over again on his fingers. All the task rewards in this game are instant, that is, you can get points rewards immediately after completing the task, but there is one exception——

——That is the monster book.

This kind of reward that can only be obtained by collecting all the pages of the book can only be issued after clearing the customs. Generally speaking, this kind of reward that is issued after the end of the customs clearance should be very important.

But now Bai Liu looked at the reward points and felt that he still underestimated the weight of the monster book.

Bai Liu now feels that the rewards given at the end of the monster book may not only be big, but also very precious, and they are the kind that cannot be easily purchased with points, so as to balance the reward mechanism inside and outside the game.

Bai Liu opened the monster book, looked at each page for a while, and finally his eyes stopped on the page [Siren King] which was not unlocked at all, and paused.

【"Siren Town Monster Book" - Siren King (2/4)】

[Monster Name: Siren King]

[Weakness: None (players are not required to explore the monster's weakness)]

[Attack method:? ? ? (unknown, to be explored)]

[Note: It is a wandering god-level npc with a very high level of danger, players are requested to explore carefully]

This is to explore the attack method... Judging from the previous monsters, the attack method is that they launch an attack, and the player will complete the exploration here.

But for a monster of the Siren King's level, Bai Liu felt that he would definitely be gg when he launched an attack.

But to let Bai Liuming know that there is such a big and luscious reward here, and let it go, it is not the style of this miser.

If Bai Liu knew how cruel this npc was, and had heard all kinds of deeds of this bug-like rumored npc, he might have given up.

After all, when making games, the most feared thing is bugs. Because bugs are not part of the game itself and have no logic, players cannot fight against bugs.

But Bai Liu doesn't know now.

Not only did he not know, but Bai Liu also regarded this npc as a gatekeeper boss, and felt that if he defeated the opponent, the rewards must be huge, and the game must have a solution, no matter what the boss is, there must be a way to solve it against,

Bai Liu stared at it for a while, clicked his tongue softly, closed the monster book, and opened the game store: [I want to buy items]

[May I ask what props the player needs? Recently, there is a price reduction promotion for bubbles in water. Do players need it? 】

Bai Liu took a look, sure enough, the item [Bubbles in Water] in "Siren Town" has been reduced from 70 points each to 40 points each.

And [High Concentration Alcohol] was added to the popular item bar next to [Water Bubbles], an item that Bai Liu had bought before, and [High Concentration Alcohol] increased from 9 points per barrel to almost 13 points per barrel.

Seeing the price change, Bai Liu smiled.

He guessed right, the process of his game will be fed back to the audience, causing the audience's purchase orientation to change, just like live streaming.

As long as Bailiu can use other cheaper items to achieve the same effect, players will flock to buy them, which will cause changes in the item price curve.

And this "Siren Town" should be a copy of the game with a small user pool, so the price fluctuates so quickly.

For example, before Bai Liu used a 3D projector and a flashlight to pass the map of [Siren Wax Museum]. Hit the effect of the consumable item Flame Torch.

At a similar price, players are definitely more willing to buy persistent items, so the price of the flame torch is reduced, while the price of the 3D projector is increased.

This time, Bai Liu repeated his old tricks, in order to reduce the price at the moment of [bubbles in the water], so that he could save a sum of money from the price difference between them.

Bai Liu smiled: [I want to buy a water bubble]

[OK, 40 points, thanks for your patronage]

Seeing that Bai Liu was about to buy bubbles in water, Wang Shun, who had rushed all the way from the death comedy section to the single-player game section, approached the small TV in bewilderment.

After confirming that Bai Liu really bought a bubble in water, Wang Shun fell into even greater confusion: "...Why did he start buying bubbles in water again?"

"I remember that after "Siren Town", it was almost all land chases, and there was no place where bubbles in the water were used..."

Next to him was a player who followed and analyzed with reason: "Now Bailiu has a lot of points, and he doesn't know that there are basically land chase stations behind him. Maybe he bought one just in case. It's not expensive anyway. forty."

"He now has more than 600 points and spent 40 to buy himself a bubble in water, which is equivalent to buying insurance. Alcohol is still too risky after all."

But Wang Shun followed Bai Liu all the way, and he already understood Bai Liu's style of spending all his points on blades.

Before, Bai Liu would rather take the risk to buy alcohol and choose a relatively high-risk and low-investment plan, rather than spend more points to buy bubbles in water and choose a low-risk and high-investment plan.

But now, in order to avoid risks, instead of spending an extra 50 points to buy a bubble in the water, just in case this kind of practice...

Wang Shun felt inexplicably that Bai Liu could not do such a thing.

Even Wang Shun had an extremely absurd idea, that is, Bai Liu only bought the bubbles in water now, because he manipulated the price through a series of operations of his own, in order to wait for the moment when the price of the bubbles in the water dropped, so that he could save money by buying them.

Wang Shun murmured to himself while thinking.

Because he was immersed in his own thoughts, Wang Shun's volume was not low, and his soliloquy was heard by the audience player next to him.

The player couldn't help but retort: ​​"You're not a fan of Bailiu, are you? Manipulating the price?... He's a novice, and he hasn't released a game yet. Things, but manipulating the price of items is really a bit too much."

The player's attitude is a little perfunctory: "I think he was so scared after such an exciting night, he immediately bought a few props that can save his life when he saw the money, I think he used alcohol before. The ingredients are big..."

At the end of the game, the player murmured softly, "It's just a gambling operation, it's nothing special, and it actually made it to the single-player division with this."

When the player talked about this, there was a bit of jealousy that couldn't be suppressed. He seemed to think that Bai Liu could be promoted to the [Single-player game division].

The forum was also full of discussions about Bai Liu's use of alcohol to kill fish to pass the level. After the initial frenzy of praise, more and more people ridiculed Bai Liu's opportunism.

Similar to this player who is judging Bailiu, most of them have a disdainful and sour attitude of [I can do it]:

[What is this operation, I thought about it at the beginning, but there is a more secure plan in front of me, why should I choose a higher risk plan? 】

[Ham, it's just pretending to be weird, it's not the first time I've seen you, isn't there a lot of pretending to be in the comedy of death? 】

[Laughing to death, I also bought nine bottles of alcohol, used four bottles, and kept the other five bottles for raising mermaids, right? For those who boast that this operation saves money, I will buy it for you. Here are 81 points, which is 11 points more expensive than the original bubbles in the water! 】

[Blow, some people just close their eyes and blow, right? His way of clearing the level is really useless except for the visual effect. 】

[And this product got reward points after clearing the customs, and immediately bought the bubbles in the water without saying anything How to burn it after landing on land, the mermaid wax figure can't be burned at all! 】

Wang Shun's emotional voice attracted several players and spectators.

The players on the small TV in the [Death Comedy] division are either those who like to play very excitingly to attract attention, or those who don’t want to play to death, but they don’t know how to play garbage and play to death all the way .

Therefore, the audience wandering here in this partition screen also likes to watch these players play tricks to death, but these few audiences who were attracted by Wang Shun looked up at the screen and reached out to touch the wax figure of the mermaid Bai Liu, and they were still a little surprised "Wow Oh" uttered.

An audience opened their eyes and said: "I have learned a lot. This is the first time I have seen this kind of death method. I went to touch the monster by myself. What is he going to do?"

Wang Shun also turned his head speechlessly to talk to these audiences. He pointed at the white willow on the screen that was touching the wax figure of the mermaid, and said with a bit of resentment:

"I followed him all the way from the central screen. This player gets points very quickly, almost hundreds of points in one go. Do you know what he used to buy?"

"Hundreds of points?" The audience was also surprised. He glanced at the time record on the small TV, "It's only the second day of the game, and the points are hundreds? This is an excellent performance, so it will fall to (death) Comedy) division?"

Before the audience finished speaking, Bai Liu in the small TV was already sticking his face to the wax figure of the mermaid, and even traced the lines on the wax figure of the mermaid with his fingers, which made the expression on the audience's face crack.

The audience couldn't laugh or cry: "But it's not surprising that this person plays this way here,... What did he buy? If there are useful props in Siren Town, one hundred points can buy quite a lot, such as flame torches and water The bubbles add up to about 100 points, this is the best prop for customs clearance."

"No, he didn't buy either of these." Wang Shun said quietly, "He bought nine barrels of high-concentration alcohol."

"Isn't it?!" The audience looked at the small TV in disbelief, a little dumbfounded: "...Nine barrels of alcohol?! No one has ever bought that thing, right?"

Wang Shun nodded: "According to common sense, the flame and light intensity of alcohol burning are too low, it should be useless to mermaid wax figures and mermaid sailors..."

While talking, Wang Shun looked at the small TV strangely: "What's the matter, he has touched it for so long, why hasn't he started to be alienated by these wax figures?"

Other viewers also frowned and leaned over: "It's been five minutes... He should have been completely alienated by the mermaid wax figure, and his mental value has dropped to 0..."

Bai Liu lightly touched the wax figures of mermaids looking up at him with his fingertips. His expression was casual, like a sculptor playing with a piece of art at random, rather than a player touching a monster.

There was no trace of fear on his face, and he was still talking to himself, as if he was talking to the wax figure:

"Sure enough, your face hasn't changed into my appearance. When those mermaid wax figures tried to attack and hatch me before, their faces would become like mine, but your face hasn't changed at all. It's still in the cocoon form of mermaid wax figures. Alienate me by touching, because you've-"

Bai Liu smiled: "——I have someone else's face, you are the amulet of those sailors, you are the cocoon of those sailors, it is impossible to hatch me again."

The mermaid wax figure under Bai Liu's hand had exactly the same appearance as a sailor he had just seen on deck.

Looking closely, Bai Liu found that the paint on the surface of these wax figures had peeled off, and the material looked very brittle, which was different from the wax figures he had seen in other places. Looking closely with a flashlight, these wax figures were as fragile as a layer The shell can transmit light, and it seems that it can be broken with a poke, just like the cocoon of a butterfly after shedding its shell with a chrysalis.

These wax figures are exactly the same as the mermaid wax figure called [Amulet] at the front desk of the hotel, and the mermaid wax figure of the amulet is also called [Cocoon Form] in the monster book.

If Bai Liu's guess is correct, the mermaid wax figures in this warehouse are the amulets of the sailors on the ship, and they are all their [cocoons], and cocoons do not have the ability to attack, because the mermaid wax figures have changed from [chrysalis] to [cocoon] ], which means that the bugs inside have turned into butterflies and gone out, leaving only an empty shell.

Those sailors who roamed the ship were the monsters trapped in the wax figure.

[Refresh of "Monster Book of Siren Town" - Mermaid Sailor (3/4)]

[Monster Name: Mermaid Sailor (Butterfly State)]

【weakness:? ? ? (to be explored)]

[Attack method:? ? ? (to be explored)]

Wang Shun and the audience in front of the small TV were stunned.

Wang Shun lay on the small TV watching this refreshed monster book, and said in disbelief: "...I have watched the customs clearance video of Siren Town so many times, but I have never found that there are no monsters to hide here. Even Mu Shen, the holder of the highest score record in a single copy of "Siren Town", didn't realize that this place is a cocoon instead of a chrysalis."

"Don't you usually have to be chased by these amulets to trigger the mermaid sailor monster chase, and only the mermaid sailor can unlock this page of the monster book?"

"Why does Bai Liu know that there is no need to hide from the wax figure below? And he has easily swiped out the third page of the monster book so early?"

The audience was also completely stunned: "Damn! I'm afraid he wants to collect all the monster books of "Siren Town" to pass the level... This is too awesome. The last time the one who collected all the monster books of "Siren Town" was Mu Shen Bar?"

"Impossible!" Wang Shun came back to his senses and immediately denied it. He pushed up his glasses and finally looked at Bai Liu with appreciation and regret.

Wang Shun sighed and shook his head, "He's unlucky, the monster book on the second page is a wandering npc."

"The Siren King has no weakness. To collect all the pages of the Siren King's monster book, players need to explore the attack method, and if they want to explore this, they must wake up the Siren King and attack the player, but the bug-level npc always Attack, the player will definitely die."

"What?! He spawned a roaming npc?!" The audience suddenly yelled loudly, looking up at Bai Liu with reverence, "This is the first time I've seen a roaming npc appear in the game. The players who are alive, those players who have been spawned are all trying to quit the game, but this person is still playing, isn't he panicking?"

"Don't be intimidated if you don't know." Wang Shun said with a smile, "He is a newcomer."

The excited and loud conversation between the two attracted many spectators who came to watch.

Bailiu has a god-level wandering npc here and the news that a three-page monster book was refreshed on the first day attracted many tourists who came to see it.

The audience in the death comedy zone likes players like Bai Liu who take a slanted sword.

"Enough to play!"

"Okay, okay, I like the way he's going crazy to death but can't die."

"Don't be cowardly, just do it! Go! Bai...what is it called Bai, let me see..."
