The lights left no shadows on the sandbox table, making it appear as bright as day.
The miniature audition map was set out under a glass cover, spanning an area of about two pool tables.
Half an hour before the curfew, Wu Jin was still changing angles, adjusting the parameters of the sandbox table, and observing the changes they caused over the whole map.
Half hills, half grassland.
When the wind speed reached 33m/s, the lower reaches of the river would overflow its banks, crests of waves appearing and breaking, landslides occurring on all three hills. The soil under the forest of broad-leaved trees was loose, while the ground under the conifer trees was hard... In a state of extreme cold...
A series of notes were quickly marked down in Wu Jin’s notebook.
It was the same map, but completely different playing conditions could be created simply by changing the game system.
If he was right, the audition had been PVP (player against player), while the elimination match would be PVE (player versus environment).
The overall rhythm of the game had changed from players fighting each other to dealing with a disastrous environment, and the scarcity of resources under the ‘law of the jungle’ would increase dramatically.
Wu Jin suddenly remembered the popular online games from a thousand years ago.
In PVE instances, players would be faced with instance bosses whose attack and defense stats were countless times higher than their own, but following the principle of fairness in a game, there was usually some kind of rule that could be followed in order to win.
If it was possible to find the rules for this game––
Wu Jin’s gaze landed on the single ‘mathematics’ entry in the timetable, then moved to ‘firearms’.
Even before planning to lay down in the woods to seriously focus on drafting up a series of plans, he had better prevent himself from being shot to death first!
Wu Jin let out a heartfelt sigh.
A week passed by in a flash.
Red was still conscientiously helping Wei Shi punch in. Caesar was immersed in his over the top, sticky sweet video calls, asking his sugar mommy, ‘am I your cute little rabbit’ every day, to the point where even Wei Shi’s gaze seemed to suggest that he was looking at a mentally deficient whenever he looked at Caesar.
Their other roommate––Silver Thread Roll’s Thin Fire, came and went like a shadow, and could occasionally be spotted doing live broadcasts to his fans in the woods.
Wu Jin came to a sudden realization, “He... and the Silver Thread Roll sniper Thin Water have similar names...”
Zoe, who was to one side, said coolly, “They’re brothers. Thin Water sends out on average three Star Blog posts a day to draw in votes for Thin Fire, and he even sent over some of the rich fans from his live broadcasting channel in order to help him build momentum.”
Wu Jin was surprised.
Zoe added another sentence, “He’s going the same style route as Thin Water, useless but damned coquettish.”
The summer breeze blew gently as Thin Fire stepped out of the woods, deliberately lowering his voice and making it more appropriate for his male god character settings, “Darlings, did you think of me, hmm?”
Wu Jin’s hair stood on end.
Thin Fire was still going, “Thank you XX Love Spreads Fire for the Large Treasure Sword. Hm? I won’t rap today, but singing is fine, what do my babies want to hear...”
