Idle game leads to another world.

Chapter 5: Tutorials are important

Li Chengxi glanced at the resource list in the upper right corner of the screen. The gold coin column read 2500 (originally 2000, plus the bandits' 500), and behind the gold coin number, there was a word '-175'.

This is probably the number of gold coins that have been prepared for spending but have not yet been taken out of the warehouse.

"The lack of resources in strategy games is indeed a problem..."

The biggest difficulty of this type of game is operation, which is why there is a saying that as long as you learn how to operate, you can win even if you just use a basic attack.

Of course, this is also the most fun part of strategy games.

Therefore, when playing this kind of game, Li Chengxi never uses any modification methods. After all, it will become meaningless if modified, and he will quickly lose interest.

But it's different now.

Although there are many unclear aspects of this game, in Li Chengxi's opinion, it is almost like raising a tank of goldfish. It is very interesting to observe the goldfish's every move every day.

He considered every two seconds and immediately cut out the game screen.

There is no information about the game AAI on the Internet. Li Chengxi tried it last night. So it is not possible to ask Feng Ling Patriarch like in other games.

But as long as one's thinking does not slip, there are always more solutions than problems. Li Chengxi skillfully found the CE modifier in the computer.

Short of money?

This is not a problem at all in the game!

–‐‐——–‐‐——

"It still doesn't work. This game can't grab the memory at all, and floating point modification is completely useless..."

Including the most commonly used CE modifier, Li Chengxi changed seven or eight of them but to no avail. He was completely unable to make any modifications.

After taking a look at the modification experience posts summarized by the Internet experts and confirming that all methods have been tried, Li Chengxi had no choice but to close the browser and switch back to the game screen.

After working on this for several hours and having lunch, the conference room was already empty.

Li Chengxi switched the floor display, but could not find any trace of Viola. He felt that she might have left the castle.

Exiting the castle screen, the screen now displayed a 45° overhead view of the Leon Fortress. Just as he was about to look for Viola in the city, Li Chengxi suddenly noticed that several small dots at the city gate were moving towards the distance.

Zooming in, I saw that I was not seeing things; a group of three cavalrymen were riding away from the city.

"A scout?"

Opening the map function, you can see that the originally regular circle detection area has become irregular. Although the map size can only be regarded as a speed change of one pixel, if you look closely, you can still see that it is getting bigger.

"The broken microphone on the computer still works? Did Viola hear me?"

If you think about it carefully, even if she didn't hear it, Princess Viola is now on the run, so she would definitely send scouts to check out the situation nearby, so that if they encounter bandits again, they can give them an advance warning.

Li Chengxi reduced the scale of the map and looked at the area outside the city explored by the scouts.

The shape is very irregular, and in some places the 'fog of war' forms clear right angles with the boundaries of the explored areas. In addition, the mountains are shown on the screen, and it feels like this Leon Fortress is right in the mountains.

The scouts heading south mostly moved along dirt roads. Occasionally there were some slightly flat areas, but there were definitely mountains not far away.

Scouts heading north could see large plains and farmlands, and even two or three village-like signs appeared on the map.

Li Chengxi casually clicked on the nearest village, and the screen shifted to a bird's-eye view of the entire village. Rows of simple thatched cottages and villagers carrying hoes appeared on the screen. Even the cat yawning on the roof and the dog wagging its tail after the farmer could be seen clearly.

By moving the camera and roughly counting the number of houses in this village, it feels like a small village of several hundred people, called Hain Village.

Li Chengxi noticed that there was a clickable triangle mark on the side of the signboard with the name of Haien Village at the entrance of the village. Clicking it immediately brought up a drop-down menu. It clearly showed the population and resources of the village, and at the bottom it was marked in red font, "This gathering place has no believers and no temples. Relationship: Neutral"

"It should be a neutral force that will surrender only after certain conditions are met, right?"

Similar settings are not uncommon in strategy games, and you can tell what's going on at a glance.

Li Chengxi exited the village screen and clicked on Leon Fortress again.

On the side of the city gate's name, there is also a triangle drop-down menu that can be clicked. After clicking it, a brief summary of the city's resources, population and other information will appear. The difference is that at the bottom it says "This gathering place has a small number of believers, no temple, and relations: friendly."

Who does this "Relationship: Friendly" refer to? To Viola? Or to the Demon King God played by the player?
It is still important to confirm this point. After all, some places may welcome Viola, but may not accept the belief in the Demon King God.

However, you can wait until there are more samples for reference in the future. There is no need to rush to figure it out for now.

Li Chengxi then zoomed in on the game screen, and could even see the stones and weeds on the pixelated ground. He then reached out to the screen and touched it carefully and quickly.

His fingers were easily sucked into the screen, and Li Chengxi also had a clear sense of touching the ground.

Looking at the faith value consumption next to it, only 1 point was consumed.

The height of the camera will directly affect the range of your hand when you reach into the game. When it is pulled to the highest position, you can crush a country with one finger, and when it is pulled to the lowest position, you can just touch the soil on the ground.

Of course, the consumption of faith value will be different for different influence ranges. The larger the range, the higher the consumption of faith value.

I just don't know if there are any other restrictions.

"Is this Mr. Li Chengxi? There is a package for you."

The sound coming from outside the door startled Li Chengxi who was thinking. He looked up and found it was the courier.

The courier was also puzzled by Li Chengxi's reaction. He took two steps towards the store and saw Li Chengxi's laptop under the cash register. He immediately showed an "I understand" look...

I always feel like he might have misunderstood something.

–‐‐——–‐‐——

Li Chengxi couldn't wait to try whether he could use the microphone to talk to the NPC, so he deliberately found a headset that could be delivered on the same day and placed an order, so he bought it in the morning and it arrived in the afternoon.

Fortunately, the headphone jack on the side of the computer comes with a dust cover, otherwise, with this Iraqi laptop, the connector might have been clogged with dust.

So, now that I have a headset, how do I communicate with NPCs?
Emmm...

Li Chengxi thought for a moment and decided to try going to Princess Viola.

He used the mouse to move back and forth between the areas, but he underestimated the difficulty of finding people.

Even though the resource list of Leon Fortress shows that the population is only over 15,000 people, it is still very difficult to find someone on the screen who has gone nowhere.

If you change to other strategy games and want to find a certain general or other character, you just need to type the name in the search box in the character column, but Li Chengxi has never seen such a thing as a character list in the game AAI.

It was not until he had looked around the city for half an hour that he remembered that there was an unnatural blank space above the name of the settlement and the list of resources.

Perhaps, that is the search box of this gathering place?

I reopened the resource list of Leon Fortress and clicked the blank space above the list. Sure enough, a cursor for typing appeared on it.

Therefore, guidance for new users is very important.
