"Reborn?!"
Mixue Bingtang obviously didn't expect Qi Ge's answer to be this, and looked a little surprised.
"You mean resurrection after death?"
Qi Ge paused for a moment, then continued:
“No, I’m not dead.
Rather than describing him as a reborn person, it would be more appropriate to describe him as a time traveler.
I returned from five years in the Yasa world to the time when the game was first launched.
For other players, Yasa World has just been open for more than a month.
For you, you may have known about the world of Yasa for more than a year.
But, for me, I know exactly how the Asian Sands world will change in the next five years."
“Time travel…isn’t that the same as knowing the future?
He also has 5 years of gaming experience from his previous life.
No wonder you are so strong, you are such a cheat!
Wait, that’s not right. If I say that I traveled to the world of Heroes, although it is very sci-fi, it can still be explained by science.
But time travel?! Isn't this too magical?! Isn't the speed of light unsurpassable?"
Mixue Bingtang was muttering something to herself, but she was thinking about something else in her heart.
"Ding Dong has helped me connect to His Majesty the Fortune, but His Majesty the Fortune has not responded.
In other words, what Qi Ge said is true."
She immediately asked:
"Then how did you come back to life?"
Qi Ge stretched out his fingers, made a 2, and said:
"This is the second round of questions. According to the rules we set beforehand, you will ask the first question.
Are you sure you want to ask this?"
Mixue Bingtang suddenly panicked and her eyes rolled around.
"Wait, I'm not sure. No, I'm sure.
Oops, let me think about it.”
Qi Ge could clearly see that Mixue Bingtang intended to delay time, but he did not stop her. Instead, he smiled and said:
"Of course, I respect your choice."
He picked up a glass of sugared coconut juice and sipped it slowly while pretending not to care, while secretly observing the reaction of the Mixue Rock Sugar out of the corner of his eye.
After more than a minute, Mixue Bingtang cleared her throat and said:
“I’ve decided to ask this.
How did you come back to life?
Qi Ge put down the sugar coconut juice and said calmly:
“In the fifth year of my previous life, I found the Tears of Yasha.
When I got the Tears of Yasa, the system asked me to tell you my wish.
At that time, due to my own wrong decisions, my guild was destroyed, I was left with a lot of debts, and my studio went bankrupt.
In fact, I could just give up the name of the studio and enter bankruptcy protection and assume limited liability.
But I was a little stubborn and didn’t want to give up.
In order to help me pay off my debts, several of my brothers went their separate ways, returned to their old jobs, and started their own game studios.
At that time, World of Heroes had already become an unparalleled phenomenal game, occupying more than 80% of the market share.
It is so difficult for them to compete with other studios in a market where only 20% of games are available.
However, they still used their stable but meager income to help me pay the interest from the debt collectors, and squeezed out a little from their teeth to support me to continue my activities in the world of Heroes.
You may not believe it, but even at that time, my stupid brothers still believed that I could turn the tables."
Qi Ge patted the table lightly and said firmly and persistently: "Then how can I let them down?"
Mixue Bingtang was shocked by the momentum that gradually .
In her eyes, Qi Ge's expression at this moment was somewhat similar to that of her father who loved her but was very strict.
She involuntarily straightened her back and adjusted her sitting posture.
Qi Ge continued:
“At that time, the remaining territory of the entire Heroic Soul World had already been divided up by the major guilds.
Starting from scratch is even harder.
If you want to survive, you have to do what others cannot do.
So I set my sights on the most precious treasure in the entire Heroes World - the Tears of Yasa.
I collected ancient books and searched everywhere, and finally found the conditions for the birth and acquisition of the Tears of Yasa.
When I got the Tears of Yasha, I heard a voice.
That voice was completely different from the system prompt.
He asked me what I wanted.”
Mixue Bingtang swallowed her saliva and became even more nervous.
Qi Ge raised the corner of his mouth and said with a smile:
"What do I want? I want to sell the Tears of Yasha, use the money to pay off my debts and start a new life.
However, the Tears of Yasa are bound and cannot be sold.
So I said this in frustration.
I made a mistake and I want to start over and fix my mistake, can you do that?"
Qi Ge raised his head and said with a smile:
“He said that He had made a mistake, too, and asked if I would be willing to help Him correct it.
At first, I thought the person talking to me was a staff member from the backend of the game, and I said it with a smile.
I don’t understand programming and I can’t fix bugs.
He said, then you go back and try it first.
At first, I didn’t understand what he said and thought he was joking. But when I woke up, I had already returned to the week before the Heroes Soul World was launched.
Seeing that Mixue Bingtang was already fascinated by what he was saying, Qi Ge made a final summary in a low voice:
"This is the whole process of my traveling from 5 years later to now."
Mixue Bingtang asked cautiously: "Qi Ge, the voice of the "He" you are talking about, is it male or female?"
"A female. I know what you want to ask. I guess it's her too."
“Hiss~ You were chatting and laughing with Mother Goddess Yasha?!
Wait a minute, let me calm down."
After listening to Qi Ge's story, Mixue Bingtang pretended to be in deep thought while screaming wildly in her heart.
"Hurry, hurry, Ding Dong, help me search for information about the Tears of Yasha!"
"Ding Dong reminder, insufficient energy. You need to upgrade Ding Dong 5 times before you can search."
"Five times?! Why didn't you just go and rob?! I put so much effort, spent a whole year, collected so many materials, and only let you upgrade once!
The next five times were more difficult each time, and I had to wait until some time to upgrade."
"Ding Dong reminder: five times is the minimum."
"Then help me check the possibility of me getting the Tears of Yasha."
"Ding Dong Tip: The probability is less than one in ten thousand, the default is 0"
"But didn't Qi Ge get it? Why is there such a big gap between me and Qi Ge?"
“Ding Dong reminder: There is a program contradiction in the core algorithm.
The Goddess of Wealth confirmed that what the Seven Pigeons said was true, and the database determined that the probability of the Chosen One from Yasha obtaining the Tears of Yasha was almost zero.
Program overloaded, unable to calculate, entering standby mode."
Mixue Bingtang widened her eyes in horror.
She understood exactly what Ding Dong meant.
Oh my god! Oh my god! What kind of legend is this? !
The seven pigeons that traveled back through time accomplished an almost impossible miracle!
She immediately understood why Qi Ge had developed to such a level in such a short time.
This also made her more scared.
It's over. How can I compete with this kind of person?
Qi Ge smiled slightly and said, "My question is, what is this creation of the true God that you mentioned?"
Mixue Bingtang was a little surprised: "You don't want to ask me if I entered the game a year early?"
Qi Ge shook his head and said, "Don't ask. I've already guessed the answer."
“Tsk…”
Mixue Bingtang pouted and said:
“The creations of the true God are things made by the true God.
For example, your Silver Spirit is a creation of the true God."
After saying this, Mixue Bingtang fell silent, trying to get away with it.
Qi Ge smiled and said, "Just this little bit of information is not enough. Your Majesty the Fortune does not approve of it.
Our rules state that we need to provide the other party with as much detailed intelligence as possible."
Mixue Bingtang's mouth kept opening and closing , but no sound came out.
As soon as Qi Ge saw her lip shape, he knew she was cursing.
Qi Ge smiled lightly and didn't take it to heart at all.
Mixue Bingtang hesitated for a long time, but finally had to confess:
“When I entered the game, there were eight kinds of creations of the true God to choose from: earth, fire, water, wind, sun, ocean, wealth, and peace.
After making the choice, you will not only get the corresponding creation of the true God, but also the corresponding identity of being chosen by God.
The specific function of each of the True God’s creations is worth a question, so I can’t tell you.
However, I can tell you that the peaceful creation I saw is different from your Silver Spirit.
So I infer that each true god may have more than one true creation."
When Mixue Bingtang said this, she found that it had not yet been judged as qualified, and she couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.
She felt that every piece of information she had was very important and she didn't want to tell anyone.
So she thought hard for a long time, racking her brains, but still couldn't think of what to say.
Seeing this, Qi Ge smiled and said:
“Since you don’t know what to say and what not to say, how about this: I’ll ask the questions and you can answer them if you think you can.
If you feel you can’t answer it, just skip it until the judgment is over.”
Mixue Bingtang nodded happily and said, "Sure! Let's do it."
"First of all, when you were choosing the True God's creation, wasn't there destiny and magic?"
“Yes, but the icon is black and I can’t select it.”
"Besides earth, fire, water, wind, sun, ocean, fate, magic, peace, and wealth, is there anything else?"
Mixue Bingtang tilted her head in confusion and said, "Of course not, are there any other true gods in the Yasha world besides them?
Ah, you can't say it's the Mother Goddess Yasha, right?
If possible, I would also like to choose Mother Goddess Yasa. Even a fool knows that the Mother Goddess’ true creation is the strongest.
Unfortunately not. ”
Mixue Bingtang didn’t know that there was a real god behind the nine major forces.
Qi Ge thought for a while and then asked:
"Then how do you determine whether something is truly created by God?"
Mixue Bingtang raised her head boldly and said in a shocking voice:
"I have no idea!"
Qi Ge: ???
"I didn't know you could still shout so loudly and confidently."
"Hmph! I'm so sorry, I'm useless. Is that not okay?"
Qi Ge had a toothache: "Okay, okay, okay."
"Then you have to tell me what the general characteristics of the True God's creations are, right? You don't have to go into too much detail, just give me a rough idea."
Mixue Bingtang was silent for a moment and said:
"The greatest characteristic of a true God's creation is that it is born with divinity, so it has infinite potential and a very high growth ceiling."
Is it similar to mythical troops?
Qi Ge was thoughtful.
Wait a moment……
The growth ceiling is extremely high and the potential is endless.
Yasha God's choice! Stupid player!
Qi Ge seemed to suddenly realize something extraordinary.
"Your questions are over. It's my turn."
Mixue Bingtang asked anxiously:
"Since you have returned from the future, will I become the strongest person chosen by the God of Yasha in the future, and will I lead the Yasha world to defeat chaos?"
Qi Ge hesitated for a moment and said, "Compared to the future, I prefer to call it the past life.
In this life, the trajectory of the world has changed a lot because of my existence.
But in your previous life, you were indeed the strongest chosen by all the Yasha gods.
As for Chaos, unfortunately, not only did Chaos fail to win, but it pressed on step by step.
Before I crossed over, the situation in the Yasha world was not very good."
"Ah! How could this happen?"
Mixue Bingtang suddenly slumped down in the chair in dejection.
Qi Ge asked doubtfully: "I am a little curious, why do you care so much about this issue.
Of course, this is not my question.
If you don’t want to answer, that’s fine.”
Mixue Bingtang was so depressed:
“It’s nothing to hide.
My real body is dead.
My dad told me that if I could lead the players to defeat Chaos in [World of Heroes], I could be resurrected and return faster.”
"But if you want to return, don't you have to wait for your body to be cloned?"
Mixue Bingtang looked at Qi Ge as if he were a fool:
"You've already talked to the Mother Goddess, and you're still asking this?
Whatever the technology side can't solve, the magic side can solve it easily!"
“That’s true.”
Qi Ge knocked on the table lightly and said:
“There is no shortage of smart people in our world.
From previous life to this life.
Whether it is various forums or video websites, there are endless speculations and arguments that the Yasha world is a real world.
It’s just that this information has never been officially confirmed and there is no consensus among the whole society.
Some people believe it firmly, some are half-believing and half-doubting, and there are also many who are dismissive.
And both of us can be sure that the Yasa world is real."
At this moment, Qi Ge suddenly realized that something was wrong.
"Wait a minute, your dad told you that if you can lead the players to defeat Chaos in the [World of Heroes], you can be resurrected and return faster.
That doesn't require you to be the strongest player, right?"
"How can I lead the players if I don't become the strongest?"
"Who said you have to be the strongest player to lead them?"
"My dad.
My dad said that humans are naturally wired to follow the strong.
Especially in a world like the Heroic World where the difference in individual strength is huge, everyone will listen to whoever is stronger. "
My god, what kind of second-year thinking is this.
Qi Ge touched his nose awkwardly and said, "Your father and you have never played online games, right?"
Mixue Bingtang was stunned: "Could it be that what my father said is wrong?"
“That’s totally wrong.”
Qi Ge knocked on the table.
“When a team of players goes to a dungeon to fight a boss together, the leader’s equipment and level are often not the best in the team.
The one with the best equipment is usually the main tank, who is responsible for resisting the damage from the boss.
In many cases, the team leader serves as a DPS (output) or nanny (healer), a profession that requires relatively little operation.
What’s the use of being strong?
No matter how strong a player is, if he can't lead a team to defeat the BOSS, no one will be willing to follow him."
Mixue Bingtang felt that what Qige said made sense, but still argued:
“But this is not just a game, this is the real world.
Besides, the combat mode in the Heroes' Soul World is not the kind of team-based dungeon-running mode you mentioned."
Qi Ge waved his hand and continued:
“The principle is the same.
Professional players from professional unions are a different matter.
For ordinary players, who will listen to you just because you are better than him?
In the real world, you have power and influence, and I can't do anything to you, so I can only listen to you.
In the game world, even if I can't beat you in PK, I can just log off and stop playing. What can you do?"
Mixue Bingtang was deeply shocked. She blinked her eyes and humbly asked:
“You seem to be right.
So, what should I do to become a leader among players? "
Qi Ge took a sip of coconut juice and said in a deep voice:
“The truth is actually very simple.
Take the team fighting the BOSS just now as an example.
Players will follow the team leader to fight the BOSS because they believe that the team leader can lead them to kill the BOSS.
They fight the BOSS not just for the sake of defeating it, but ultimately for the experience points from the equipment, treasures and experience points dropped by the BOSS after defeating it!
In other words, it's for the reward.
Rewards will stimulate players' brains to secrete dopamine, making them feel happy and making them feel that all the hard work they put in during the battle against the boss is worth it.
When players team up for PK, they do it for the sense of accomplishment of killing the bastard on the opposite side.
Players complete quests in order to receive recognition and rewards from the quest NPC.
Sometimes players even do things in the game that make no sense at all.
All of this, in the final analysis, is just for the sake of my happiness.
In other words, everything players do is for fun!
Whether you can lead players or not, the most important thing is whether you can make them happy.
As for whether you are strong or not, who cares? No one cares.
Your strength is just the capital that makes players believe that you can make them happy.
Even if you have absolutely no talent, if you can convince players that following you is fun, they will still follow you.”
Mixue Bingtang was stunned and shocked.
"So what I've been thinking is wrong?"
"Not only is it wrong, it's terribly wrong."
Mixue Bingtang stood there in a daze for a while, then suddenly jumped up.
"Master Qi Ge, I understand!
Please teach me how to become a leader among players."
Qi Ge turned the cup and said calmly:
“This is the experience I have accumulated from working in the gaming industry for two lifetimes.
How can you just teach me?
Let’s not talk about this for now.
I haven’t asked my question yet.”
Mixue Bingtang has a sincere attitude.
"Master, you can ask me anything you want, I will tell you everything I know!"
"Really? Then I'll ask."
"What is the object of the true God that you chose, and what effect does it have?"
Mixue Bingtang hesitated for a moment and said, “This is my biggest trump card, I can tell you.
But I need you to agree to form an alliance with me in front of the Goddess of Wealth, and you need to keep it a secret for me and not tell anyone else."
Alliance?
Hey.
What I like most is forming alliances.
"Of course. As the chosen one of the Fortune Church, you and I are naturally allies."
Mixue Bingtang took a deep breath and spread his palms flat in front of Qi Ge.
In her hand, a colorful gold coin was suspended.
“This is my true God’s creation, Ding Dong.
Dingdong has strong data analysis capabilities.
For most items in the Yasa world, it can help me estimate the value and rarity of the items.
Not only that, Dingdong can also make suggestions on my actions and plans.
In other words, I can collect more information with the power of Ding Dong.
I think intelligence and information are the real wealth.
With enough intelligence, many problems can be solved.”
At this moment, the colorful gold coins in Mixue Bingtang's hand flashed.
“Ding Dong reminder: Dear Seven Dove Apostles, hello.
According to calculations, your body and the host's body match up to 98%, and your personality matches up to 85%. It is strongly recommended that you get married.
The probability of giving birth to high-quality cubs..."
“Bang!”
Mixue Bingtang slammed Ding Dong on the table and said with a scary smile on her face:
"Don't worry about it, Ding Dong will occasionally have a brain frenzy like this .
Just knock it. "
Qi Ge: ???
Qi Ge nodded in astonishment, and responded in a trance: "Oh. This creation of yours is quite unique?"
Mixue Bingtang exuded a terrifying aura, and she put Ding Dong away with a forced smile.
"Hehe. Yeah. I think so too."
…
…
The atmosphere between the two of them suddenly became awkward and silent.
Qi Ge touched his cheek and quickly changed the subject.
"Well, it's a new round. Let me start asking questions first.
Although I have a vague guess, I'd still like to confirm it. Are there many beta testers like you?"
“At the moment I know that I’m the only one.
I have always suspected that there are others because I have seen so many creations of the true God.
Especially fate and magic I can't choose.
I would wonder if someone had already chosen destiny and magic before me.
But in more than a year in the Yasa world, I have never found anyone similar to me.
You, the only one, are now excluded.
So I can’t be sure.”
Mixue Bingtang's answer coincided with Qi Ge's idea.
He was silent for a moment, then said:
“Mi Xue Bing Tang, in your previous life, your strength was overwhelmingly stronger than other players.
The first three players, the second and third players combined are no match for you.
Moreover, as far as I know, all the top 40 players, except you, have logged off."
Mixue Bingtang's expression was blank: "That is to say..."
"You are most likely the only beta player."
Qi Ge paused for a moment and asked:
"Mi Xue Bing Tang, if you die in the game, can you be resurrected?"
Mixue Bingtang, who was in a daze, suddenly became alert:
"Why are you asking this?! Do you think I know too much and are going to kill me?
I, I warn you, this is the Hall of Wealth, and the Goddess is watching us all the time."
Qi Ge rubbed his forehead and said, "What are you thinking about? What good will it do me to kill you?
I want to know if there were other beta testers in the past, but they died halfway. "
Mixue Bingtang immediately returned to her expressionless look:
“Oh, I’m sorry to disappoint you.
I will be resurrected.
It's just different from your immediate resurrection.
Although I felt that I was resurrected immediately, each time I was resurrected, it was three days after my death."
