Chapter 315 Never underestimate players

Cangniao formed a small group and brought his teammates in for a discussion.

Kuratori said solemnly: "I am not someone who is easily swayed by money."

The teammates nodded in agreement: "I understand, unless it is too much."

…

In the end, everyone happily succumbed to the charm of money.

And after pulling Zhui Feng into the group, the last teammate instantly became very easy to find...

The next step is to get in touch with the team and practice teamwork.

Chai Feng also has to practice together, otherwise it will be a complete embarrassment on the field.

He didn't come here to embarrass anyone.

The core players and Krypton players, represented by Cangniao and Zhuifeng, are just a part of the competition.

Countless players are calling friends and looking for teammates.

In a formal competition, there is no system to randomly match your teammates. Forming a team of 5 people is a mandatory condition for registration.

Regarding this, each club has the most margin - this is the way they are most accustomed to playing.

Zhang Muyu also joined the club after the [Free Day] event and returned to the game as she wished.

Although his team failed to survive the chaotic "Legion War" at the time, his performance was still eye-catching.

The keen fighting sense and tenacious fighting will that he had in the VR era were brought into the virtual world without any damage, and he was even stronger than then!

Compared with the rest of his teammates, the gap is obviously widened.

In the chaotic "Legion War", he persisted until he ran out of ammunition, and after killing thirty-one opponents, he still tried to charge with cold weapons, and finally fell helplessly on the way to the charge.

This performance immediately brought him a large number of team invitations.

Faced with numerous opportunities, Zhang Muyu did not choose to return to his previous club [Ming Lei], but joined Lin Shun's [Fanzhou].

At this moment, he is already running in with four new teammates, including Lin Shun, in preparation for the game.

The winning rate in training matches is also steadily improving.

After being disappointed too many times, he no longer dared to think too much and just played training matches wholeheartedly every day.

I just hope to be a little stronger, a little stronger...

"Block World (tentative name)".

Lin You came to this virtual world under construction and was speechless after seeing the names they gave.

"Are they so disgusted with cubes?"

Looking at the busy employees, Lin You did not rush to interrupt, but observed the development progress.

He had just taken two steps when Xiao Meng suddenly said in his ear: "Master, there is important news in the mailbox!"

"Really?" Lin You opened the panel and Xiao Meng had already prepared the email for him.

That was the reply from the review department. It was worded in a strict and measured way, without any official talk or procrastination.

After Lin You read it, he felt that he could sum it up in one sentence: "In principle, it is possible, but it requires rigorous investigation and demonstration."

For Lin You, this basically means stability.

Technically, Yunmeng had no problem, and Lin You didn't intend to steal the chicken.

Therefore, the process of investigation and demonstration is nothing more than a few more procedures. The investigation team came to Yunmeng to have a look, ask questions, and conduct experiments.

There can be no accidents.

Seeing the good news, Lin You was in a good mood and walked quickly to the employees to observe their progress.

Xiaochun is working with several female employees to make the appearance texture of [Plant Block].

Under Kochun's hands, [Plant Blocks] are not all the same, but have various appearances such as [Grass Blocks], [Moss Blocks], [Shrub Blocks], [Arbor Blocks], [Leaf Blocks], etc.

This "one block, many looks" concept is also implemented in a large number of other blocks.

Even the same appearance has different texture variations.

——Of course, this kind of change does not need to be designed separately. Most of them can be generated and adjusted through algorithms, which can save a lot of work.

At this time, what Xiaochun and several employees are doing is designing green plants on the surface of the [Plant Cube].

Instead of drawing the plants on the surface of the block, they actually grow from the surface of the block until they are about a palm high from the surface of the block.

Lin You looked at this block, and then at the [Obsidian Block] in the design next to it: Under the dark surface rock, the lava tracks shone brightly and flowed from time to time, flickering on and off.

Looking back at the row of [wooden cubes] behind me, the texture of the bark is completely different depending on the type of tree.

But no matter what kind it is, the rough bark and ravines on the surface of the block are extremely delicate, and it feels like you can feel the invasion of time and wind and frost.

There was also a [Snow Cube] under production. When Lin You got closer, he could even see some snowflakes that had not completely melted, with clear and delicate six-petal fans.

…

Lin You looked at these blocks under construction, and for the first time he worried about the performance of the mirage...

"Sister Chun, what is the minimum effect of these blocks under dynamic material adjustment?"

"The lowest?" Xiao Chun was a little surprised to hear this question.

She glanced at Lin You in confusion: "Phantom can run smoothly even in Metropolis. Now it's just a pile of blocks. There shouldn't be any need to lower the texture, right?"

Lin You shook his head.

"The smooth running range of a metropolis is actually only within a one-kilometer radius centered on the player. Beyond this range, not only will the modeling be blurred, but all functions and mechanisms will be suspended to reduce equipment pressure."

It is worth mentioning that the operating mechanisms of single-person and multi-person metropolises are different.

Based on the foundation of the virtual world, as long as the server algorithm interaction can withstand it, people can enter the metropolis unlimitedly.

The more people there are, the more idle synapses are involved and contribute fuzzy computing power, and the less pressure there is on the host.

Moreover, from the perspective of brain development, it allows idle cranial nerves to move within a reasonable range and has beneficial effects such as promoting the development of brain nerves in children and preventing Alzheimer's disease in adults.

But the same cannot be said for single-player games.

In a single-player state, the use of the brain's fuzzy computing power is very restrained - although it still looks amazing, it is purely because the brain has too much advantage in this aspect.

And there is another point that is easy to overlook: the buildings in the metropolis are not really made of bricks.

Many buildings are simply "one-piece" and do not actually take up much computing power.

Only when it is damaged will feedback effects be given through real-time calculations.

But when players play "Block World (tentative)", every building is built up of blocks as "bricks and stones".

So if the player builds something that is too large in scale, although he or she will be fine, the host machine may really be scrapped!

"If what players build does not exceed a radius of one kilometer, then there is really no problem."

Lin You paused, and then said to Xiao Chun: "I'm afraid that players will directly build an entire metropolis, even a larger and more amazing creation than the metropolis."

"Isn't it possible?" Xiaochun subconsciously retorted: "With the scale of Metropolis now, we have so many people joining in, and we have special development tools, and it takes so long. It will cost at least a lot of money for the players to build it themselves.

Most of a year?"

Lin You smiled helplessly: "Half a year is not a long time."

In previous games, it would be an exaggeration to say that large projects lasting one or two years were everywhere.

But to say there are very few would definitely be a lie...

"Never underestimate a player."

After thinking about it, Xiao Chun nodded and operated the [Plant Block] in front of him a few times.

Lin You saw that the plants on the surface of the block were blurred for a moment, but they soon returned to their original appearance.

Then Xiaochun said: "Okay."

"Ah?" Lin You was puzzled.

It wasn't until he got closer and took a closer look that he discovered that the capillary fibers on all the plant leaves were gone, and only the main veins were left on the leaves. Finally, they no longer had the texture of green plants to the touch, becoming as smooth as a piece of paper.

It does seem like a lot of things have been saved, but——

"This is not enough..."

"Not enough?" Xiaochun really felt that it was a bit exaggerated this time.

"I don't know much about hardware, but with this kind of material, to reach the performance limit of the console, tens of millions of blocks would have to be used, right?"

Lin You said helplessly: "Ten million is actually not a lot..."

Projects that use tens of millions of blocks are indeed large projects and cannot be accomplished by ordinary players.

But this does not mean that tens of millions is the limit.
To be continued...
