4 The correct way to play sandbox games
Seeing the other party's huge figure from far to near, Lin Chi, standing on the steps, narrowed his eyes slightly.
——This guy is obviously an NPC. And, he should be here to send the task.
Thinking of this, several wrinkles appeared unconsciously between Lin Chi's eyebrows.
Of course he knew that people should not behave like a person, but that was in the real world. There are many NPCs in the game that can be used to infer features based on their appearance.
What's more, there are some more hateful guys...
When Lin Chit thought of the npcs he had encountered in the brain imaging role-playing game that made players hate, he felt powerless.
According to his experience, npcs that will disgust players in role-playing games are generally divided into two types—
Lin Chi was thinking, the fat man in a suit and tie had already stood in front of him and said bluntly:
"Boy, you are the champion of this ghost place, right? I have a 'dirty job' here, and the reward is good. Can you help me?"
Immediately afterwards, a prompt only he could see appeared in front of Lin Chi's eyes:
Start the mission: Kill and silence.
"Is this task a little too straightforward?" Lin Chi complained.
Before he finished speaking, the two bodyguards behind the fat man had already stood up from left to right. The two dark figures were full of oppression, and the every move was full of threat.
Seeing this scene, Lin Chi frowned again, and was about to ask the other party for details of the task, he saw the fat man curling his lips disdainfully and slowly said: "You must understand, you don't have the right to refuse. I'm not justifying you..."
"The first type." Lin Chi sighed.
"What did you say?" asked the fat man.
"It's okay." Lin Chi shook his head.
——The first of these is the plot characters with a very bad attitude towards players.
No one likes to be humiliated while playing games, and this disgust will increase several times in near-real intrabrain imaging games.
However, in some games, even NPCs that cannot be skipped in the main plot will speak ill of players and may even beat players.
The most depressing thing is that as long as this kind of NPC is judged by the system as a "friendly camp", even if the players are so angry that they have no way to do anything. They can only curse and complete the tasks they assigned.
However, in a sandbox game like "War Paradise", there may be other solutions.
Thinking of this, Lin Chi suddenly spoke, "Let's go and talk later?"
While speaking, he reached out to the back of the ferrous metal building in the arena, the unmanned alley shrouded in the shadows.
"What do you mean?" The fat man's little eyes narrowed into a slit.
Lin Chi could see that the IQ level of this NPC is indeed higher than that of the audience in the arena, but it is not much higher. He is completely unaware of this trap that seems obvious to humans.
As for the two bodyguards next to them, they are even more similar to those who are mentally retarded. In such a conversation, there is no need to care about them at all.
"If you need to kill someone, I have weapons here to show you. It's not very convenient to be on the street." Lin Chi explained.
The fat man nodded almost immediately, led his two bodyguards and turned to the uninhabited corner behind the arena.
——This kind of crappy lie that will be exposed instantly by humans with normal intelligence has become a "reasonable" reason for NPC.
Realizing this, Lin Chi didn't say anything else, but just reached his right hand under the gray cloak and quietly held the cold pistol handle.
Following the fat man and two bodyguards, I came to the end of the dark alley behind the arena that no one would notice. The fat man in a suit said, "Two days ago, a bastard from a slum came from a slum who killed one of my bodyguards and took away his gun, which made me feel embarrassed. All you have to do is kill her..."
"Oh." Lin Chi pretended to listen, looking for an opportunity to start.
When he killed the boxer just now, he had noticed that there was no exact damage number in "War Paradise". The damage calculation rules are not like games, but are more similar to the real world.
Now my pistol proficiency is 1, and there are still five bullets left. Although my proficiency is really low, I should still hit it within a distance of less than three meters.
Thinking of this, Lin Chi looked down at the hands of the two bodyguards behind their backs and the pistol holsters hanging around their waists.
Then, he began the countdown silently:
Three, two, one.
Take action!
At that moment, this old player, who had been through many battles, moved his body like a divine helper, and pulled his gun at lightning speed!
Bang!
A shot smashed the head of the bodyguard standing on the left, and Lin Chi's right hand was numb by the recoil. His power attribute was completely enough to use a pistol, but his too low proficiency forced the shooting difficulty.
"ah!"
Seeing the bodyguard being killed, the fat man screamed in horror and began to run backwards. Another bodyguard quickly drew out his pistol and aimed at Lin Chi's chest!
Seeing that the other party was about to resist, Lin Chi, who had no time to aim, fired three shots in a row, and another bodyguard in front of him fell down with blood.
At this time, the fat man had already run out of ten meters and was about to rush to the street.
"He's going to call the police."
Realizing that the situation was not good, Lin Chi held the handle of the pistol with both hands, aimed at the opponent's unprepared back in a standard shooting posture, and pulled the trigger again without hesitation, firing out the last remaining bullet.
This shot was hit in a misstep without any suspense.
"Damn proficiency." Lin Chi cursed, turned around and looked at the ground beside him, and then immediately found the available weapons.
He bent down and picked up a dark red object beside the wall. He lowered his body and rushed towards the direction of the fat man's escape.
At the same time, an inventory popped up in his field of view, and a series of prompts appeared:
Bricks.
Melee weapon (throwable).
Item Level: Normal.
General weapons, you can use them without proficiency. The minimum strength value is required: 7. The power value is required to reach the maximum attack power: 12.
"Black bricks are civilian weapons that can be seen everywhere, and can exert great lethality in the hands of experts. They can be said to be a must-have item for traveling at home. I have them all in the world in my hand!"
Without time to pay attention to the item introduction, Lin Chi, with his physical attributes that are higher than ordinary people, rushed behind the fat man in two steps, raised his brick and smashed him towards the other party's head.
With a crisp sound, the battle was over.
After throwing away the blood-stained bricks, Lin Chi looked around and confirmed that his actions had not been seen by others, he began to check the gains of this battle:
Except for the pistol proficiency reaching 2 points, other attributes have not changed at all. The previous task called "Murder Silence" has also changed from a yellow-compleable state to a gray-compleable state.
However, for Lin Chi, who had never wanted to take on this task, this kind of thing was completely irrelevant.
"This is the correct way to play the sandbox game." He laughed.
After fumbled on the fat man's body, he found three thousand dollars in cash and a car key. In addition, there was also a blurry photo.
——In this way, killing the mission npc in "War Paradise" not only does not punish, but can also loot the spoils.
However, things shouldn't be that simple.
Lin Chi knew very well that if there was no punishment for killing NPC, players could make a fortune by crazy slaughtering NPC, and the difficulty would be too low.
In this type of open world game, there will be a punishment mechanism for killing people, such as...
Before Lin Chi could go back and plunder the bodies of the two bodyguards, the chaotic footsteps and a gloomy male voice came from the entrance of the alley in front:
"I heard the gunshot just now, right here!"
Before he finished speaking, he saw three flat-headed men wearing long black windbreakers and sunglasses appear at the entrance of the alley and look at each other in front of him.
The men had dark blue erectus hanging on their shoulders, and the erectus was painted with rough shield patterns. Their right hands were pressed on the gun holster at their waists, and they were obviously ready to pull the gun.
At the same time, two purple four-pointed stars appear in the upper right corner of Lin Chi's vision, and the explanation is also thoughtfully in words next to it:
You've reached the wanted index 2. City guards are trying to arrest you, and they may use deadly force.
"I admit that you are still stronger now..." Lin Chi whispered.
Chapter completed!
