Chapter 3354 Teammate Selection (Part )
In the office of Arkham Sanatorium, Schiller was looking at the design drawings of the sanatorium. When the sanatorium was first built, it could be said to be very advanced, with a beautiful environment and luxurious decoration. It was simply the best choice for recuperation of body and mind.
But after all, more than a decade had passed, and although the decoration here could not be called outdated, it was no longer so competitive. Several sanatoriums near Long Island were decorated in their own unique styles, attracting many new wealthy customers. However, Arkham Sanatorium has always relied on old customers to maintain its existence.
After Schiller discovered that other people's houses had been recently renovated, he also began to consider the idea of the sanatorium. The decoration style and details that seemed very good at the time now looked more and more awkward.
So Schiller has been looking at various decoration cases recently, preparing to pick his favorite one and renovate Arkham Sanatorium.
Since the place was to be renovated, it was natural that it had to be closed. Schiller studied the map for a while, then began to pack up.
The advantage of the gray fog was that he didn't have to pack a suitcase, he just had to take the things he used to use. The most important thing was that he had to take the kitchen utensils and ingredients. After eating Sichuan cuisine in Kamar-Taj, Schiller searched for a lot of Sichuan recipes and prepared to cook it himself.
In fact, the other ingredients are fine, but the key is that the chili here in the United States is not very good. Schiller went to several Chinese supermarkets and Mexican restaurants to buy the chili he needed. Now this is his treasure.
After packing up almost everything, Schiller went to the garage downstairs to drive. Although taking the shuttle was faster, the Brooklyn station was too far from Schiller's clinic, so Schiller decided to drive there.
Unlike Los Angeles, New York's traffic situation has improved significantly after the establishment of the air transportation system, and there is basically no congestion.
Brooklyn was still prosperous and bustling. A second-hand clothing store and a bakery had just opened on the street where the clinic was located. Seeing Schiller's car parked in front of the clinic, the gray-haired old man at the newsstand on the corner nodded to Schiller.
Schiller raised the shutter door in front of the clinic, which was still as clean and tidy as ever. He went to the kitchen to put down the kitchenware and ingredients, and then his cell phone rang.
"Hello? Tony? No, I'm not in the nursing home right now... Really? It's online already? I haven't checked it yet..." Schiller said, holding the phone between his shoulder and ear while busy with the things in his hands, "I'm busy. I'll call you when I'm done. Okay, bye."
Schiller hung up the phone and placed the seasoning bottles in the refrigerator door in an orderly manner. After closing the refrigerator, he called up the Doujie interface. Stark just told him on the phone that the two-person event was online.
I don't know if there's a time difference between the Transcendence and here, but the event was launched at noon. Schiller usually only checks the Doujie news at night, so he doesn't know yet.
He was sitting in the living room, and his consciousness appeared in the Doujie space. As soon as he entered, he saw a huge banner: "Double event is now online, invite your friends to join the Doujie."
"It looks quite decent," Schiller said to himself.
As a result, he couldn't laugh anymore the moment he clicked on the event interface - this is a fucking pay-to-win event!
The most eye-catching thing about the event interface is not the gameplay, but the various krypton gold gift packages. No wonder the Molecule Man came to find him specially, it turned out that he was waiting for him here.
Schiller checked the specific contents of the gift package and found that it was mainly for selling tickets.
That's right, the ticket to this damn two-person event is not free, it can't even be purchased with points, but must be purchased with real money.
The krypton gold function of Doujie has been online for a long time, and it is not complicated. After clicking on the recharge interface, there is a scale on it. Put your things on it, and the system will automatically evaluate how much it is worth.
This automatic evaluation system is connected to the maintenance system of the Marvel and DC universe administrators. Everything in the universe shows its true quality and importance here. The more important the things you bring out, the more Doujie coins you can exchange for.
Of course, there are many things that are not collected, such as intelligent life and living things that can breathe, celestial bodies, important resources that affect the operation of the universe, non-renewable resources in the universe, etc.
What is more encouraged to be traded are products of intelligence, such as technology, machinery, artifacts, etc.
This is a rule that was thought up by administrators from both sides. It is mainly intended to suppress entropy increase by recycling some large mass items. Although the effect is not very significant, it is better than nothing.
The krypton gold system has a strong computing power, and the currency converted from quality is very accurate, so it is difficult to pass off inferior goods as good ones, and it is very stingy. Many very good technologies can only be exchanged for a small amount of money. Even a technology giant like Stark does not have many Doujie coins.
So how much money does Schiller have? The answer is zero. He never spends money. He plays online and plays alone offline. He doesn't spend coins, and he just wants to keep company.
As a result, the first major event since Doujie was launched turned out to be a pay-to-win event. Schiller can only say that there is no competitor, otherwise you will go bankrupt in a minute.
Then he realized that Stark called him to scold him, but he probably realized from his tone that this didn't seem to be his design, so he hung up the phone.
Schiller ignored the large number of gift packs and started searching the event interface. Then he saw a small flashing icon in the lower right corner. After clicking it, two rows of icons appeared.
If he was not mistaken, this should be a battle order.
People who don't play games may not know that the so-called battle pass requires not only krypton but also hard work. After buying a gift package, you can't get all the items at once, but you have to gain some experience in the game to unlock the rewards level by level.
However, because it can maintain daily activity, this gift pack is slightly cheaper than other gift packs. In addition to the key props, there will also be some extra small rewards, which is a relatively mild way to spend money.
Schiller checked the details of the battle pass for the Duos version and found that this version was not very demanding. Only those who participated in multi-group battles needed the extremely expensive tickets. Single-group Duos battles were free to enter.
As long as you participate in a single-group duo queue, you can get experience rewards, which can be used to unlock the rewards of the battle pass. Every 10 levels of the battle pass will give you a ticket for multiple-group queues, for a total of 6 tickets.
There are also other rewards such as points, props, card drawing coupons, etc., and a set of interior furniture package is given to decorate the interior of the house in the Doujie base.
Schiller thought about it and felt that it was reasonable. Because if there were five groups of two people, that would be ten people. It would be quite resource-intensive to design a scenario that could accommodate these ten people. Just the setting of the scenario would require a lot of thought, and the game would take a very long time.
But if it is a single group, that is, there are two people in total. The amount of exploration and combat for two people is not that large, and the script can be set to be simpler, so it can be free naturally.
Moreover, there is another problem with duo queuing, which is the coordination. If multiple groups are allowed to queuing directly, everyone will practice in this scenario.
This kind of large-scale scenario has a large amount of plot and high difficulty. It is possible that an unskilled duo will not be able to complete it. This will greatly dampen the enthusiasm of both parties.
Therefore, designing tickets for large-scale scenarios and making small two-player scenarios free is actually forcing players to practice in small-scale scenarios first, and then participate in large-scale scenarios after they have mastered the cooperation.
Schiller checked the rewards for the small two-player dungeon again and found that they were pitifully small. In other words, the main reward was actually the battle pass experience. Not buying the battle pass was equivalent to wasting time.
The battle pass was not expensive, only 45 Doujie coins. Schiller still had some good things that could be exchanged for money, such as the golden honey wine he got from participating in the group dungeon. This thing was not as good as the red wine that Naya gave him, and Schiller had no use for it for a long time. It was worth exchanging it for money.
Pure energy can be exchanged for money, but the exchange rate is not much. It can be said to be a big loss. Even Schiller, who has plundered all the demon gods in the universe, is not willing to exchange energy for money.
Schiller thought about it, took out the bottle of golden honey wine, and weighed it on the scale. But probably because it had been opened and used, it could only be exchanged for 20 yuan.
Schiller went back to the inventory and found a lot of junk, most of which were duplicate collectibles. When he put them on the scale, he could actually exchange them for more than 100 yuan.
"That's enough." Schiller quickly picked up the extra junk. He didn't plan to spend too much money, just buy a battle pass. He didn't know if he could get back the money he spent when the founder of Doujie distributed dividends next time.
Schiller bought the battle pass and connected with Stark in the battle world. As expected, Stark complained about how unreasonable this krypton gold system was.
But his main complaint was that the latest version of his suit could only be exchanged for more than 200 yuan. Schiller wanted to hang up the phone.
"Honestly, Schiller, I think the two of us can queue up for a dungeon, how about choosing an unlimited fighting dungeon?"
"Think clearly, Gray Mist and I are two separate entities. Are you sure you want me to fight with you?"
"Ah?" Stark was obviously a little confused. He said, "You and Gray Mist separated? Then how do you fight in the ring?"
"I don't have to play," Schiller said simply, "Isn't it okay for me to just play the limited copy?"
"What? Didn't you read the instructions for the battle pass? If you queue up for the same dungeon more than three times in a row, your experience will be reduced..."
Schiller quickly opened the battle order interface. He searched for five minutes before he found a nano-level prompt pattern below. After clicking it, it really mentioned the rules that Stark mentioned.
It may be to balance the number of people in the match, or it may be that the transcendents have learned bad habits and have to mess with elo, anyway, they don't allow you to queue for only one type of dungeon. If you queue for more than three times in a row, the experience will be reduced, and if you queue for more than five times in a row, no experience will be given.
In other words, this activity is mandatory PVP, and you have to fight even if you don't want to. Otherwise, the battle pass will definitely not be full.
Stark laughed triumphantly at the silence from Schiller's end. Schiller hung up the phone with a snap.
"Okay, okay, you're coming for me, right? Then don't blame me for being rude."
Schiller was actually a little unhappy at first, but he suddenly realized that he and Pride were now independent individuals. So wouldn't Pride also have to go to the ring?
Schiller immediately felt happy when he thought that Pride was also going to fight.
