Chapter 1370: Chapter 356: Trading Reform, Super Squatter_4
Relaxed and enjoyable, not tiring at all.
Even while traveling, a group of summoned beasts could carry him along.
After obtaining the player qualification for Monster World, he set himself the goal of becoming a Summoning System player, which is also the origin of his game ID.
But before the appearance of the Nightmare Life Soul, the Summoning System couldn’t form a complete faction at all.
The only feasible "Control" Life Soul was actually for capturing pets, not the orthodox Summoning System gameplay.
Captured pets couldn’t even grow with the player and required additional Purification fees, not to mention they couldn’t be resurrected upon death.
This type of gameplay at most could be called Pet Flow.
Until the appearance of the Nightmare Life Soul, giving him hope for the rise of the Summoning Stream.
But this Life Soul has one drawback.
Where to obtain Shock Value.
Scaring one’s own players would be suicidal.
If you provoke a group of players, you’ll definitely be camped at the Resurrection Point and killed.
The few proposals currently being tried on forums are all about scaring monsters in the wild.
For example, by suddenly confronting a monster when it’s eating, you could startle it and produce Shock Value this way.
But methods of obtaining Shock Value like this are too cumbersome.
They can’t form a sustained production cycle like mainstream gameplay, and finding suitable targets to scare wastes a lot of time.
It can only be considered a rogue way.
During this period, he’s been thinking about how to make obtaining Shock Value more relaxed and enjoyable.
After repeatedly checking the Life Soul Library and the background information shared by various Research Party players.
He found a feasible plan.
In the Life Soul Library, there’s a Fourth Generation Life Soul called "Nightmare."
The trait effect allows the weaving of dreams.
In battle, spiritual power is consumed to drag the enemy’s consciousness into a woven dream scene for combat.
The way to weave dreams is simple; it can generate corresponding content in the dream scene through imagination, and the Nightmare Scene can be archived in advance for immediate recall.
(PS: Nightmare Life Soul related introduction in Chapter 227.)
Then, could he weave terrifying nightmares with "Nightmare," and drag monsters into the Nightmare Scene to obtain Shock Value this way?
He searched the forum for related information.
He found that players had already proposed similar Shock Value acquisition strategies on the forum.
But in actual use, this plan has many drawbacks.
First, the Nightmare trait can only be cast on a single target.
Although multiple targets can be dragged into the Nightmare Scene through the "Scattered Arrow" Life Soul.
The spiritual power consumption would also multiply.
Each target dragged into the Nightmare Space enters with a strong resistance will; they won’t sit idly by.
Destroying the Nightmare Scene and other behaviors would increase spiritual power consumption.
And scaring opponents isn’t the core attribute of the Nightmare Scene, but combat is.
Unless you make the opponent cooperate and be scared without destroying the Nightmare Scene, but that’s clearly impossible.
The strategy-releasing player believes this plan’s spiritual power consumption intensity is too high, unless a fast-recovery type Life Soul like Energy Absorption is contained in the future.
It’s impossible for practical use at this stage.
The player who released this strategy post also published many test videos and test data in the post.
After reading the post, Wei Shan was incredibly disappointed.
The data proves the plan’s feasibility is extremely low and far from being as easy as he thought.
So he chose to continue reading the materials, trying to come up with a more reasonable plan.
Ultimately, he found the answer.
The inspiration came from an early post.
At the time, a player, inspired by Tourist No. 1, posted a strategy post that shocked the forum.
The situation was that the player, while exploring externally, unexpectedly discovered a Teleportation Array leading to a Small World.
Not far from the Teleportation Array, he also contained a Sixth Generation Primordial: Prayer.
The original force that constructed the Teleportation Array wanted to create doomsday and then gain the Power of Prayer as a Savior.
As a result, they screwed up.
Not only could they not contain the Praying Primordial, but they also led their group to Destruction.
After the player took over, there was fierce discussion about how to use the Doomsday Small World.
Some players suggested continuing the Ghostly Clan’s strategy, appearing as a Savior to gain the Power of Prayer.
But there was one unsolvable problem with this plan.
The demands of the Small World beings would gradually increase with the improvement of living standards, and their desire for God’s endowment would steadily rise.
Ultimately, they would inevitably propose wishes that players couldn’t satisfy.
The only seemingly feasible way was an extinction-rebirth cycle.
But the time cost was too high.
And the posting player, with the help of Tourist No. 1, proposed a more perfect plan: the Divine Calendar.
Players don’t need to satisfy any demands of the Doomsday Small World beings, only need to provide spiritual support.
Then multiple divine posts are established, with players bearing the Praying Life Soul rotating to take the divine position.
Praying for wealth, rain, luck, offspring... whatever the Small World’s beings want to pray for, they don’t need to have firm beliefs in any god; they can make their judgments via the "Divine Calendar."
Faith transitions from specific gods to the Divine Calendar.
The player only needs to occasionally impart miracles.
The plan continues to this day, and top guilds basically buy the divine posts on the Divine Calendar, using them to cultivate Healing Support.
The continued development of the Small World also brings sustainable Power of Prayer profits to these top guilds’ early investments.
This post inspired Wei Shan greatly.
