I am a demonic cultivator, not a capitalist with a conscience.

Chapter 354 Let's begin (66)

Chen Yu went crazy for half a day before finally stopping in the afternoon, satisfied, and then completed the entire plan.

Although he had been severely delirious before, with the help of his self-healing ability and inspiration, and by visualizing two symptoms in himself, Chen Yu was back to his energetic self after a short rest.

Patting his plan, Chen Yu said excitedly, "The new dream will follow the large-scale dream model. This dream will involve the deployment of a large number of employees and will require a lot of magic power, so Xu Youran, you don't need to spend too much money for now."

These words brought tears to Xu Youran's eyes; it was the first time she had ever heard such a beautiful voice.

"But you'll need to help with the processing of fruits, herbs, household waste, and various other things. Sometimes you might have to work overtime, but I'll pay you four times the overtime pay."

"Mr. Chen, I want to follow you for the rest of my life!"

"At the factory, some people stayed to continue rebuilding the factory, while others came to help with modeling. I know that everyone's skill level may not be comparable to that of professionals, but as long as we invest enough time, we can also create a good enough piece of work."

Seeing Chen Yu's excitement, Jiang Qiao also became interested.

She raised her hand and asked curiously, "Mr. Chen, what is the dream mode this time?"

"Search and raid to be stopped."

"what is that?"

"Search is searching, fight is combat, and retreat is withdrawal. This gameplay hasn't appeared in Changsheng Prefecture yet. I don't know if it exists in other parts of the Great Qian World, as I don't have the qualifications to explore there, but I suspect it doesn't. Because if it did, there should be similar works here."

After letting Jiang Qiao and Xu Youran process this, Chen Yu continued, "The following content is its core gameplay. Players can choose different identities to enter the dream. They can enter directly as Lone Wolf, or they can enter as an identity from a previous dream of Chenguang Co., Ltd."

Jiang Qiao thought for a moment, then suddenly realized: "This connects the previous dreams together, so the new dream is essentially a sequel to all the dreams!"

"That's exactly right. So this involves a lot of new mechanisms and new growth models. I'm planning to have Zhong Zheng come over and help. Hasn't he arrived yet?"

"They're here already, under the chair."

After retrieving Zhong Zheng's head, which consisted of only one head, Chen Yu placed it on the table and continued, "Later, I'll also call Luo Tong and the other three over. The graduates from Cultural High School will also come to help; we'll need to give them some training. Let's continue with the dream gameplay. Once players select an identity and enter the dream, they can explore a different type of map. Different maps will have different mechanisms, different terrain features, and different treasures. Finding these treasures is called searching."

Jiang Qiao thought for a moment, then said, "I understand. Different treasures have different uses, right? For example, enhancement injections, prosthetic bodies, etc."

"Yes. At the same time, we will establish a recycling mechanism. Unwanted treasures can be sold directly, and the reward points can be used to enhance the acquired items. We also provide a lossless recycling function."

Jiang Qiao imagined the process and realized that it would be quite satisfying to obtain high-reward items in one go.

"I understand searching, but what about fighting?"

"Combat. Each time you enter the map, we'll set an upper and lower limit. You can only enter if your total points from your items are within that range, and the total value of all items on the map will be determined by this range. Inside the map, players can fight each other. If you kill an opponent, all of their items will drop, but there will be a loss, equivalent to a percentage taken from the dream world, though there's a chance it won't happen. There's also an insurance concept involved here, namely the Contract Star Lord's insurance. It provides a certain number of slots where stored items won't drop upon death." Zhong Zheng mentally simulated the scenario, feeling that winning would be exhilarating, but losing would be incredibly frustrating.

However, if you enter the map empty-handed, find high-value items, and put them in the safe so you can take them with you even if you die, that's pretty awesome.

As he continuously simulated various scenarios in his mind, Zhong Zheng discovered that even the process of fighting was full of strategic maneuvering, which he found increasingly interesting.

"What is withdrawal?" Zhong Zheng asked curiously.

"Retreat. Players cannot evacuate immediately after entering the map; they must wait for an evacuation point to appear. Of course, players can also choose not to evacuate."

"Why not evacuate? Run away as soon as you find something good."

"If you don't evacuate, the outermost part of the map will disappear, which is called shrinking the circle. Then, a new batch of supplies will be spawned, and the value of these supplies will be one level higher than before. At this point, players will have to face a choice: whether to run away or stay and wait for another wave. After a certain number of waves, all players who did not evacuate will die and lose all their supplies."

After listening to Chen Yu's explanation of the rules, Zhong Zheng pondered for a moment, then said, "That's too ruthless..."

"With insurance, it's not too bad. Greed and caution will constantly vie for control during this process, and the moment you escape will be incredibly satisfying. Different people will choose different tactics, such as ambushing people at the evacuation point in advance, or sneaking in naked to steal big items. These are all different ways of playing the game."

"I understand. So what's the point of those previous works?"

"Homestead System. Resources obtained from the map can be used to strengthen your homestead. If you come from 'My Factory,' you can strengthen the factory in the dream world and give you additional boosts. At the same time, you can also choose different growth paths in different dreams, and the resources and points needed to improve your strength also need to be obtained from the map."

Zhong Zheng was so excited that he tried to get up, but he almost rolled down instead.

Changing direction slightly, he asked excitedly, "What type of factory is it?"

"The puppet strategy allows you to use the resources you acquire to strengthen and modify your puppets. In the mid-to-late game, you can even customize your own puppets. However, while the puppets are powerful, they are also large targets. If they appear on the battlefield, they are likely to be focused down. You need to do some careful numerical calculations here."

"What kind of novel is 'The Heavenly Origin Inspector'?" Xu Youran asked curiously.

"The 'Disease Stream' allows you to purchase vaccines, inject yourself with the disease, and then gain the positive effects of the disease. This stream has a strong combination of diseases and doesn't require many points, but it does require regular injections of the antidote."

As they revisited each dream, they were pleasantly surprised to discover that each dream seemed to develop its own unique characteristics and take different paths.

Although achieving balance is a difficult task, a surprising approach can be taken here: through continuous and subtle adjustments, a balanced effect can eventually be achieved.

After explaining the gameplay of this dream in detail, Chen Yu looked at the others and said, "This dream requires a lot of manpower and financial resources, and I feel that this summer vacation is the most suitable time. The factory is being rebuilt, the students have just finished the college entrance examination, and Tianyuan has the most spare manpower at this time, which can be used to create this dream. This is our first attempt at a large-scale dream, and whether it succeeds or not, it will be a huge asset."

"Gentlemen, let's begin!"
