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! 】
These dozen or so mermaids are like dolls in a garbage dump, twisted into a certain posture in the net, staring at the people on board with eyes fixed on their eyes, with hideous or terrified expressions on their faces, and marks of being bitten all over their bodies , as if being bitten to death by some ferocious deep-sea fish and thrown into the net.
Bai Liu looked at the faces of these shattered [mermaids] under the light of the searchlight, breathing slowly.
The faces of these mermaids are exactly the same as those of the twelve missing tourists in the newspaper.
The sailors on board were whispering joyfully:
"They will be made into wax figures and sent to the wax museum..."
"But the Wax Museum will only have four wax figures coming out tonight, because there are only four tourists, what about the extra mermaids that were salvaged?"
"Let's put it in the bottom warehouse first, you can satisfy our greed first..."
The caught mermaids were quickly sent to the rear, and it was unknown where they were transported.
The three tourists, Bai Liu and the others, could eat some fresh common sea fish caught along with the mermaid, and soon these sea fish were prepared and delivered to Bai Liu.
These sea fish seem to be contaminated with the smell of mermaids, and the taste is particularly strange after being cooked.
The three people except Bai Liu were sucking/sucking their fingers frantically at the fish that was brought out.
The fish was pushed to the center by the sashimi steak, and the wet fish head was held and chewed by Lucy. Lucy ate it so fast that even the hair on her cheek was eaten.
Lucy brushed the oily hair out of her mouth, and smiled at Bai Liu: "Bai Liu, why don't you come over to eat, the fish tonight is really fresh."
The small white eyes of the fish head in Lucy's hand stared at Bai Liu with reluctance.
Andre is biting a fish tail in his hand, and his teeth are sharp. He has become very fish-like, and his eyes are almost invisible from the front. They are located on both sides of the face. The nose is completely sunken and too wide A foul-smelling blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
Jeff used a fork to cut open the fat belly of the fish. He seemed to be able to maintain his sanity, but the movements of his hands became faster and faster, mechanically stuffing the fish into his mouth.
The sailors stared at Bai Liu, they put the plate full of sea fish in front of Bai Liu forcefully, showing strange smiles: "If you don't eat fresh fish, it's a trip for nothing, Mr. Bai."
Bai Liu wanted to refuse, but another instruction popped up on the panel in front of him:
[Mission Tips: If you don’t eat the fish presented by the sailors, the fishing activity will be considered a failure]
Bai Liu was silent for two seconds, and ate a piece.
This sea fish meat has a very strange sour smell at the entrance, but when the meat passes through the throat, it becomes a normal sea fish meat with fresh and sweet taste.
All the fish in front of Bai Liu began to have a strange allure, even a person like Bai Liu, who has always had a moderate appetite, could not help but want to eat nonsense when facing the table full of fish Hesse's impulse.
The sailor saw that he had eaten, and left with satisfaction.
Bai Liu tried her best to keep her mind clear, not to look at the fish on the table, got up and stood by the sea with the sea breeze blowing, and lowered her head to smell the metallic smell of the coin in her heart.
The smell of coins calmed Bai Liu.
He can probably deduce something.
After the Siren King was salvaged, he fell into a deep sleep and lost some ability to this sea area, causing the dead people in this sea area to become / mermaids, resurrected from the dead, and returned to the world. This is actually a It was a legend, but the mermaid corpses of the twelve tourists just now verified the authenticity of this legend.
People who die here can indeed turn into mermaids.
But the question is why in such a small remote sea area, why can so many mermaids transformed from dead people be produced, and it is not enough to fill the entire wax museum? Why are there so many dead people in this sea area.
When Bai Liu saw the twelve salvaged tourist mermaids, he finally understood why this sea area produced so many mermaids.
Because this is a dumping ground.
The bodies of those missing tourists were estimated to have been thrown into this sea area, and then salvaged by these sailors as some kind of large fish, made into/watered by mermaids into wax figures.
But I just don't know who killed those tourists...
Bai Liu had a vague guess in his heart, this is a town of robbery, most of the missing tourists in this town have lost their property, Bai Liu can see from the astonishing number of robbery and disappearance cases in the newspapers, Siren Town is not a folk custom Very rustic place.
The town had gotten rich not so much from tourism as from the robbery that came with it.
Is there a fatter lamb than a tourist from afar?
Such a vicious place, with so many tourists dead, Bai Liu tends to be tourists who were robbed and assassinated and then dumped in this place. Of course, it is not ruled out that the mermaid came ashore to hunt and kill.
But judging from the mermaid's habit of fearing strong light, it is estimated that it is difficult to go ashore to hunt tourists during the day, and at night, during the popular tourist season in Siren Town, these mermaids are all caught up for tourists to watch. Very unlikely to kill...
Wait, Bai Liu is so fiercely connected in series——
The mermaid fishing activity is to catch mermaids only if someone dies in this sea area. If there are no dead people here, there will be no mermaids.
For example, Bai Liu and the others caught up the missing tourists last time during their fishing activities...
The residents of this town may have intentionally killed people, dumped their corpses and then raised /mermaids, and then turned it into a gimmick of /mermaid fishing, which was used to make tourism to attract more tourists, so that they could rob more conveniently.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!

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! These dozen or so mermaids are like dolls in a garbage dump, twisted into a certain posture in the net, staring at the people on board with eyes fixed on their eyes, with hideous or terrified expressions on their faces, and marks of being bitten all over their bodies , as if being bitten to death by some ferocious deep-sea fish and thrown into the net. Bai Liu looked at the faces of these shattered mermaids under the light of the searchlight, breathing slowly. The faces of these mermaids are exactly the same as those of the twelve missing tourists in the newspaper. The sailors on board were whispering joyfully: "They will be made into wax figures and sent to the wax museum..." "But the Wax Museum will only have four wax figures coming out tonight, because there are only four tourists, what about the extra mermaids that were salvaged?" "Let's put it in the bottom warehouse first, you can satisfy our greed first..." The caught mermaids were quickly sent to the rear, and it was unknown where they were transported. The three tourists, Bai Liu and the others, could eat some fresh common sea fish caught along with the mermaid, and soon these sea fish were prepared and delivered to Bai Liu. These sea fish seem to be contaminated with the smell of mermaids, and the taste is particularly strange after being cooked. The three people except Bai Liu were sucking/sucking their fingers frantically at the fish that was brought out. The fish was pushed to the center by the sashimi steak, and the wet fish head was held and chewed by Lucy. Lucy ate it so fast that even the hair on her cheek was eaten. Lucy brushed the oily hair out of her mouth, and smiled at Bai Liu: "Bai Liu, why don't you come over to eat, the fish tonight is really fresh." The small white eyes of the fish head in Lucy's hand stared at Bai Liu with reluctance. Andre is biting a fish tail in his hand, and his teeth are sharp. He has become very fish-like, and his eyes are almost invisible from the front. They are located on both sides of the face. The nose is completely sunken and too wide A foul-smelling blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. Jeff used a fork to cut open the fat belly of the fish. He seemed to be able to maintain his sanity, but the movements of his hands became faster and faster, mechanically stuffing the fish into his mouth. The sailors stared at Bai Liu, they put the plate full of sea fish in front of Bai Liu forcefully, showing strange smiles: "If you don't eat fresh fish, it's a trip for nothing, Mr. Bai." Bai Liu wanted to refuse, but another instruction popped up on the panel in front of him: Mission Tips: If you don't eat the fish presented by the sailors, the fishing activity will be considered a failure Bai Liu was silent for two seconds, and ate a piece. This sea fish meat has a very strange sour smell at the entrance, but when the meat passes through the throat, it becomes a normal sea fish meat with fresh and sweet taste. All the fish in front of Bai Liu began to have a strange allure, even a person like Bai Liu, who has always had a moderate appetite, could not help but want to eat nonsense when facing the table full of fish Hesse's impulse. The sailor saw that he had eaten, and left with satisfaction. Bai Liu tried her best to keep her mind clear, not to look at the fish on the table, got up and stood by the sea with the sea breeze blowing, and lowered her head to smell the metallic smell of the coin in her heart. The smell of coins calmed Bai Liu. He can probably deduce something. After the Siren King was salvaged, he fell into a deep sleep and lost some ability to this sea area, causing the dead people in this sea area to become / mermaids, resurrected from the dead, and returned to the world. This is actually a It was a legend, but the mermaid corpses of the twelve tourists just now verified the authenticity of this legend. People who die here can indeed turn into mermaids. But the question is why in such a small remote sea area, why can so many mermaids transformed from dead people be produced, and it is not enough to fill the entire wax museum? Why are there so many dead people in this sea area. When Bai Liu saw the twelve salvaged tourist mermaids, he finally understood why this sea area produced so many mermaids. Because this is a dumping ground. The bodies of those missing tourists were estimated to have been thrown into this sea area, and then salvaged by these sailors as some kind of large fish, made into/watered by mermaids into wax figures. But I just don't know who killed those tourists... Bai Liu had a vague guess in his heart, this is a town of robbery, most of the missing tourists in this town have lost their property, Bai Liu can see from the astonishing number of robbery and disappearance cases in the newspapers, Siren Town is not a folk custom Very rustic place. The town had gotten rich not so much from tourism as from the robbery that came with it. Is there a fatter lamb than a tourist from afar? Such a vicious place, with so many tourists dead, Bai Liu tends to be tourists who were robbed and assassinated and then dumped in this place. Of course, it is not ruled out that the mermaid came ashore to hunt and kill. But judging from the mermaid's habit of fearing strong light, it is estimated that it is difficult to go ashore to hunt tourists during the day, and at night, during the popular tourist season in Siren Town, these mermaids are all caught up for tourists to watch. Very unlikely to kill... Wait, Bai Liu is so fiercely connected in series The mermaid fishing activity is to catch mermaids only if someone dies in this sea area. If there are no dead people here, there will be no mermaids. For example, Bai Liu and the others caught up the missing tourists last time during their fishing activities... The residents of this town may have intentionally killed people, dumped their corpses and then raised /mermaids, and then turned it into a gimmick of /mermaid fishing, which was used to make tourism to attract more tourists, so that they could rob more conveniently.
