Chapter 6 Creating a Game World

After a brief investigation, Rhodes got the information he wanted.

Priest Anna's sacrifice ceremony is seven days later.

This is a decision jointly discussed by the Knights Templar, the Cathedral of Light and other high-level officials!

There was no coercion, and the sacrifice was of Anna's own free will.

Rhodes was still very surprised at first. After all, the word "sacrifice" is never a complimentary word, and it has nothing to do with "voluntary".

But in the City of Dawn, this is a very high honor!

because.

Not just anyone is qualified to sacrifice himself and hang high in the sky to become the shining star.

The threshold for self-sacrifice itself is frighteningly high, and the strength of the soul needs to reach a peak that is difficult for ordinary people to reach.

In the past, there were not many people who sacrificed themselves in the sky.

But basically they are all sages who are leading the trend of the times, and the sacrificers who are closest to the present are also famous.

for example.

Saint Hilda, who once led everyone to rediscover the "human heart";

Otis, the strongest knight who blocks the darkness, survives a hundred battles, and protects all sentient beings time and time again;

Meg, a mentor who preached and taught until her death and devoted her life to education.

Therefore, sacrificing oneself and transforming into a star has become one of the highest honors in the City of Dawn.

What's more important is that these self-sacrificers almost always choose to take this path when their life span is about to expire.

Essentially equivalent to passing fire!

And Anna is still a young girl

It is not difficult to see from here that the City of Dawn is lingering under the apocalypse, its "luck" has been declining, and it has reached the point where it needs to drink poison to quench its thirst!

Anna is still young, her soul is already strong enough to hang high in the sky, and her talent and talent can be imagined.

If we were in a prosperous era, she might have the possibility of becoming a great sage in the future.

But now, Anna has to sacrifice herself.

Thinking of this, Rhodes couldn't help but sigh.

Without the support of national destiny, even the proud man of heaven is just a speck of dust.

Even if Anna's sacrifice could create hundreds of elf envoys, it would still be like putting out firepower.

What's more, who can guarantee that the achievements of the one hundred newly born elves will be higher than Anna's?

but.

He is back!

after one day.

One hundred floors of the Tower of the Sun.

After completing the investigation, Rhodes looked at the book of rules suspended in front of him, his eyes slowly turned golden.

The emotional color in his eyes disappeared little by little, and only the endless runes were flowing, as if he was no longer a living being, but the incarnation of divine law.

The essence of these is actually knowledge and information. It is the application of Godhead and the Book of Rules that Rhodes mastered through a day of exploration.

For Rhodes, the godhead is the rules, the authority, the kingdom of God, the network, and a supercomputer with unlimited computing power!

certainly.

The premise of all this is that Rhodes has enough divine power to burn!

For Rhodes, who had just refined his godhood, divine power was too precious, and he made this decision with great determination.

As soon as he entered this state, Rod suddenly felt that the whole world was different, and countless information continued to pour into his heart.

【Location: City of Dawn.】

【Area: 24.41 square kilometers.】

【Population: 186,000.】

[Organisms: 17,470 species.]

[The composition of the world: the spiritual world, the present world, and the underworld.]

As more and more information was read, Rhodes understood more and more about the City of Dawn.

The spiritual world is where elves live. It is not essentially a separate space. It overlaps with the real world but is not in the same dimension.

but.

Most of the elves who live in the spirit world are unconscious, which are the so-called "elves".

The elves that the elf envoys make contracts with are usually newborn elves of this kind.

certainly.

There are also high elves in the spirit world, but these highly intelligent elves basically do not sign contracts with living creatures.

The elves are mapped to reality and are the stars in the night sky.

The stronger the elves, the brighter the stars.

For this reason, the spiritual world is also called the "star world".

The so-called "self-sacrifice hanging in the sky" in the City of Dawn is essentially to change the form of the soul through a specific transformation ritual, turning it into an energy body similar to that of elves, thus lowering the threshold for elves to make contracts.

The core reason for such embarrassment is that the sun goes out.

In order to thrive, human beings have extracted the power of the earth's veins so much that the world has been exhausted.

As the real world declines, the entire spiritual world also declines, and the number of elves decreases sharply.

Therefore, it is becoming more and more difficult to open the Star Road to contract elves, and the power of law in the world has been declining.

And all this leads to a vicious cycle!

As for the underworld, it is the destination of souls after death, and is also the source of undead creatures and the source of resurrection power.

Perhaps it is due to too much death in this world and the curse of the gods, but the power of the underworld is so terrifying that dead creatures emerge in endlessly, and even begin to devour the present world.

"This is a world approaching death. If you want to save the world, you must have enough elves!"

Rhodes clearly understood the importance of elf envoys, so the players summoned in the future must also become elf envoys.

"But the decline of the spiritual world is too serious. It consumes too much energy to open the star road to communicate with the spiritual world. The number of native elves is also a problem. It may not be enough for each player to have one."

"It's not about scarcity but about inequality. Now that I've decided to take action, I can't continue to encourage the trend of sacrifice. Players may still need a stage of transition before they can become elf envoys."

"Players are very satisfied. If you can draw a sword, you may be satisfied."

As his thinking deepened, Rhodes' ideas became clearer and clearer.

The most interesting thing about the game world is that it is simpler than the real world!

As long as you provide feedback on achievements and implement the equation "hard work will make you stronger", even if it is just a simple "broach light", players will be so excited.

In this way, the goal of the early stage of the ‘game’ is clear.

"The growth of the players is regarded as the 'martial skill' itself, or it can be called the 'preparation stage for the elf envoy's contract'."

"Of course, this stage should not be too long. Let's tentatively set it at level 20."

"The resources in this world are quite limited. The purpose of calling players is to save the world. Players are more positioned as warriors, so they need to grow up as soon as possible."

"Therefore, the positioning of the game is also about 'development', rather than the player profession and the diversity of gameplay."

"So, players don't need to contract too many elves, and they don't need to think about changing jobs. They just need to continue to follow the specialization route."

"As for fighting bosses, I prefer group cooperation."

"No matter what kind of creature, once it is confirmed to be the enemy, its ultimate fate will inevitably be destruction. It makes no difference whether it is a solo fight or a righteous group fight."

"However, training cannot be too simple. If the players don't work hard, how can I, the boss, drive a luxury car and live in a mansion?"

"In the early transitional stage, players need liver level and liver skills; after forming an elf, they need to work hard on the liver elf's level and favorability. Of course, they can also add weapon level."

As Rhodes continued to think deeply, he became more and more clear about the question of "what type of game he needs."

Considering that this is a world approaching the end of the world and supplies are scarce, players must not obtain too many resources.

but.

Rewards are too demanding and are not conducive to motivating players to work hard.

Wanting the horse to run but not letting it eat grass is even more taboo in the game world than in the real world!

For players, even an "achievement" or "title" without any improvement can be regarded as part of the "harvest".

However, these cannot trouble Rhodes.
