Chapter 465: Divinity and Representativeness(1/2)
After visitors come online, players will indeed feel a lot more convenient.
The first thing to bear the brunt is the price of services. In the past, most of the work that could only be done by players or system NPCs is now borne by tourists. This has brought about a sharp decrease in prices and a sharp increase in service quality, showing a situation where a hundred flowers are blooming. Many people did not have or were very poor before.
The service industry that few people are involved in is flooded with tourists seeking various channels.
Secondly, high prices have been effectively suppressed.
The end of the war for the national server and the online arrival of tourists. This decrease and increase finally caused the exaggerated exchange rate market to suffer a heavy setback. In the end, it did not break through the 1 to 300 mark, and plummeted from the highest point of 298 to 201.
Nearly one-third of the total, many bankers who took over the orders at high positions, retail investors suffered heavy losses, and several major trading markets were flooded with blood, and the victims were everywhere.
It feels like there are people doing every job, just like in reality. Even being a beggar has competition. In the game, everywhere is overcrowded.
Since then, people have been the core element. The reduction in the price of human resources has led to the vigorous development of all industries. The number of players several times higher is really cheap and high-quality. The system and Magic Network have been given a shot in the arm. Originally,
The 6-layer Magic Network, which still needs to be 'brewing' for a period of time, has entered the 'mature' stage ahead of schedule.
You can start building the 7-layer magic network.
But neither Bei Gaoyang nor Xiao Ai wanted to start building the 7-layer magic network so quickly. Firstly, the reason is that the 6th test has only started less than 3 months ago (reality), and the bonuses from tens of millions of players and tens of millions of tourists have not yet been fully digested.
, the "invasion" of such a number of earth factors adds too heavy an exotic color to the Magic Network, and it involves the incorporation of a mysterious rule.
In other words, the fit between the Magic Network and the mysterious rules has been reduced, causing high-level and deep-level instability problems. Naturally, there is no problem at the low-end and shallow levels, but when it comes to high-end and deep levels, it will
There will be problems such as poor operation and incompatibility with the Canaan world.
It takes time to digest, guide players and tourists to adapt to the atmosphere and rhythm of Canaan, gradually change their concepts, and clearly distinguish between online and offline. It is best to immerse yourself in the atmosphere of Canaan after going online.
Old players have already experienced this, but new players and tourists still need time to hone their skills.
Secondly, several times the number of players also brings various problems.
The first one is the confusion of ‘the concentration and definition of sentient beings’ beliefs’.
It gives me a headache just to talk about it.
The most intuitive manifestation of this is that the false gods of the system have not benefited from the skyrocketing population base. Instead, the influx of huge amounts of distracting thoughts has diluted the belief foundation that was finally built among the player group.
Players in China are generally practical 'believers'. Although players in the international server are more likely to integrate into religious cultural narratives, they more or less carry offline religious cultural narratives, and it is equally difficult to convert them.
Religious culture has been formed thousands of years before the earth. Whether in terms of logic or cultural attributes, their teachings have no advantages. In terms of attracting believers, they can only rely on game content.
The content of the game is naturally a set of levels, equipment, and combat power.
This becomes too utilitarian.
Developing faith among players and tourists is a long-standing problem. I expected tourists to come online and make up for quality with quantity, and this is indeed the result.
See, both factors involve ideas and software.
And the last one.
Xiao Ai didn't say it, and the false gods of the system never mentioned it, but Bei Gaoyang knew what they were waiting for.
Before the start of the 6th Test, at the 'Ideological Unification Meeting', he promised that after the 6th Test started and stabilized, he would solve the problem of the divinity of the false gods.
Divinity!
Human beings have humanity, and gods naturally have divinity.
Divinity is not power, but the attribute of gods. It is the first step towards the sacred temple and the beginning of transcendence into divine beings.
Human nature is complex, divinity is pure. With divinity, it is no longer a false god. In academic terms, it can be called a divine creature, but in popular terms, it is a demigod.
Divinity is 'refined' from the concentration and definition of the thoughts of itself and all sentient beings, and naturally contains a certain 'representation' of mysterious rules.
What is ‘representative’?
It refers to a thing, a phenomenon, an idea, a knowledge, a mechanism rule... embodied and refined into a symbol. This symbol can be light, darkness, suffering, or happiness.
, it can be the sun, it can be the moon, it can be magic, it can be cursed... Divinity naturally contains this kind of 'representation', becoming the representative of such phenomena, things, concepts and understandings, etc., and thus has a certain authority.
The so-called incarnation of light usually refers to the authority possessed by this ‘representative’ theory.
The so-called master of light usually refers to the "uniqueness" of this "representation".
The latter is a true god, while the former is a demigod. Only those who are proficient in mystical knowledge can distinguish them clearly from these honorific titles, titles and prefixes.
Since the rise of the Twilight Conference, this kind of knowledge has rarely been spread to the world, and many spellcasters have forgotten it or have even never been exposed to it.
People in the world take the superior gods as "natural" and "existence since ancient times", but they don't know that they are actually just rising stars who have defeated the previous wave.
Divinity is still extremely self-centered and selfish. This is determined by 'representation'. It is black and white and does not allow any room for ambiguity. Once divinity is condensed, within the authority of 'representation', no noise can be tolerated.
, Otherwise, 'representativeness' is not established.
Therefore, this is not just an issue of 'divinity', but also involves the fundamental plan of the relationship between Bei Gaoyang, the Demon Network and the false gods.
Some people may say, why do we need a system god? As the inventor, founder and owner, wouldn’t it be enough for Bei Gaoyang to control the entire Magic Network by himself?
Bei Gaoyang wanted to, but he couldn't.
Just like the formation of the magic network "Abyss" is not dependent on his subjective will, the emergence of the system gods will also not be changed due to his rejection and resistance.
What is God?
Strictly speaking, it is a certain sustenance of human nature and a natural need of the spirit and soul. As long as human nature exists, divinity will definitely exist. As long as thought and thinking exist, divinity will definitely be born.
This is one of the core narratives of the occult.
Not to mention Canaan, the level of civilization and the knowledge and vision of the earth far exceed Canaan. Hasn't it also affected the history of human civilization from the beginning to the present?
Two weeks after the visitors were officially launched, Bei Gaoyang and Xiao Ai finished taking inventory. Just when Xiao Ai was about to leave, Bei Gaoyang said, "There is one more thing."
Xiao Ai turned around and waited for his instructions.
Bei Gaoyang's fingers tapped on the handle of the seat, "Where are those people from the civilized world currently?"
“Swiss national dress.”
"It's pretty fast," Bei Gaoyang said with a smile, "What did the system detect?"
"Some small private actions of the operating agents are within the control of the system. Don't worry, sir."
"Well, I miss you through the magic net!" Bei Gaoyang didn't know if he was mocking or sighing, "Ye Gong is such a dragon. If they really let them tear apart the veil and meet each other, maybe this longing will no longer exist, right?"
"Both sides have ambitions. Relatively speaking, the ambitions on the Canaan side are bigger, more intense and more direct."
"Gods, they are always so aggressive and possessive..." He told a cold joke that no one would want to laugh at. Bei Gaoyang's palm touched his chin. After thinking for a while, he couldn't figure out the point, so he let it go, "This matter
You have to keep a close eye on it, you don’t have to worry internally, but be careful about outsiders bypassing the system. After all, the magic network only has 6 layers, and it cannot be completely foolproof in terms of spell level."
"OK."
"Also, I heard that there is a lot of trouble on Earth?"
"Yes, the dissatisfaction of tourists is mainly reflected in some basic system support, such as the recovery and delivery of character bodies on and off the line. Because there is no support in this area, tourists have to bear a huge cost, plus they are relatively different from players.
Weakness in accessing resources, so..."
"What are the opinions of the operating agents?"
"Most of them are not willing to spend such resources. Of course, if the system sells orders, they must have their original intention."
"The system can't pay the bill!" Bei Gaoyang said, "Why, the tourists don't let the system intervene, so they want to eat from the big pot? Tell them that this is what the real Second Life is like."
"OK."
"But if there are tourists who intend to switch to the public server, similar basic services can still be provided."
Xiao Ai's eyes looked strange when he heard this, and Bei Gaoyang laughed and said, "Try it, the public server also needs to be filled by the population, otherwise when will it be developed? By then, the national server will be prosperous, and the public server will still be remote and primitive.
, not pretty on the face.”
If something doesn’t look good on the surface, isn’t it because it’s poaching the national costume?
It’s all systematic. Aren’t all the national and public servers on the plate?
No one would believe this reason.
Xiao Ai didn't specify, but nodded in agreement.
With her as the de facto ‘central brain’, there are many loopholes in the so-called national service tourist contract. It is not difficult to find corners, and it also prevents the operating agents from finding faults.
“One last thing”
Xiao Ai seems to know what this last thing is.
Starting from the 6th test, the pseudo-gods of the system, including her, have been waiting for a long time to wonder if he was going to default on his debt.
Divinity.
I don't have it yet.
Bei Gaoyang sighed in his heart, of course, he doesn't want any divinity. If he must, it must be the magic network.
Only if the magic network condenses the 'uniqueness', he will consider this aspect, otherwise it will be more gain than loss.
Achieving divinity does not come without a price.
In the process of pure and condensed detachment, many things will be abandoned and evolve into a completely new self, and he is not yet ready for this.
Divinity is divinity, it is what I promised after all.
To be continued...
