Chapter 237: Human quality player

After two more days, Bai Li noticed a strange phenomenon when he was sorting through his game forum private messages. Soon, 90% of the private messages he received were urging him to upgrade the virtual reality game builder again. Yes, that was right. Now that the virtual reality game builder had been upgraded to A level, there were still a lot of fellow netizens leaving messages for Bai Li, humbly asking when he could upgrade to S level.

The upgrade cost of an S level virtual reality game builder was 10 billion, while the number of players that could be accommodated was one billion people, and the game could reach 99.9% realism.

The fellow netizens were so confident in Carefree Farmstead’s ability to draw money that they couldn’t wait for the good news that the game would be upgraded again the next day.

However, it was impossible to upgrade so soon. The earliest time would be next month.

Bai Li filtered out that part of the private messages, replied uniformly, then looked at the remaining 10% of the private messages. Therefore, some people’s messages came into his line of sight.

Diffraction-derived diffraction, [LiLi, please save my ears. Could you let the players in the game learn skills in reality that can also be used normally, OK? QAQ]

Si Si, [Help me, help me, help me, help me. My brother, he is crazy. Every day he goes around with a strange drum ‘dong dong dong’ knocking, and says he is learning music to cultivate the emotions. The patrol police have come to the door several times. The neighbors are looking at us with strange eyes. Woo, woo!]

123456, [Young man, you tell your grandmother. Is this long strange thing with a few holes in it really a musical instrument? My little granddaughter now takes it every day to blow, and although there is a sound, it is so hard to hear. She said the skill of blowing the flute is learned from the game you designed…[picture]]

Cat 5, [[a piece of audio] LiLi, you should be fined. This instrument that is called a suona, the sound from it is too terrible! My boyfriend said he heard people playing it in the game, and it can be good. I had him give me a performance, and the result of the song almost sent me running. My heart is still thumping now, and I’m so angry that my boyfriend and I had a fight!]

Smoky Lan, [[an audio] LiLi, LiLi, you are the legendary God Ba! I learned how to play the guqin in the game, then I bought an antique product from TaoTao. I tried to play it a few times, and it sounded so good! I never knew I had such a talent!!!]

“…”

There were two audio clips, the former like a hundred ghosts howling, the latter like a mountain spring tinkling.

Messages like these were not particularly numerous, adding up to about two hundred. The content alone made Bai Li a little puzzled. He didn’t know what they were talking about. Was he, the game developer, not concerned enough about the game? He did not reply to these messages at first, but went to the forum to find out what had happened in Carefree Farmstead in the past two days that he did not know about.

Through that investigation, he found the source of the issue.

The incident came from a convergence of several events.

One, the 288th Newbie Village game host Missie, drifted in the sea for more than ten hours, and had just reached the end but in the next second was transported back to his starting point, which made the majority of his fellow netizens very sympathetic to him, so in the forum they were building a high building for him, live. The reward of that broadcast room had also accumulated to a new height. This was considered another sense of fame.

Secondly, a 2nd newbie village player, Leaf, reached the conditions for going to the Mysterious Ancient City, then took the token given to him by the Old King at the entrance of the village and immediately traveled there. As a result, he didn’t even finish one street’s worth of shopping in the Ancient City, but he came back with a big purchase after being sent out of the city, then he had a brief encounter with Missie at the entrance to the city, which was almost not worth mentioning.

The third, was related to the player, Leaf. After he went back to his village, his stall at the entrance of the village attracted a lot of the same village players to come shopping. The musical instruments he brought back from the Ancient City and their learning methods were a big hit among the players. The players who were lucky enough to buy the instruments played them in turn, and those who didn’t grab them ran out of the game to TaoTao to buy those same musical instrument items after spending 10 gold coins to learn the skills.

When he put those three things together, Bai Li knew how the rumors really came about. It was just that those players who bought instruments from TaoTao couldn’t resist practicing in reality. However, there were some differences between virtual and real. While they had learned in the game, it couldn’t be said that they could also learn in the real world. Everyone had a different talent as an instrument player.

They were just confident and brave enough to think that they could reach the playing level in the game if they practiced a few more times.

That was affecting their friends and relatives around them: brother and sister, couples, and even grandchildren. Actually, even a pair couldn’t escape. As they “enjoyed” some from the unconscious malice of those close to them. It was very painful.

Just from reading those words, Bai Li deeply felt their pain, especially the grandmother’s message. He could even imagine an old man dying of disease, as he sat up in shock, and his fingers trembled and pointed to his “unfilial” granddaughter. When he thought of that grandmother, he was very sorry!

Of course, if there were extremely poor performances, there would also be some that were played well. For example, the player called Smoky Lan who played the guqin. The audio she sent over sounded pretty good to Bai Li, a novice. If she could keep up the hobby, in time, she would become a good guqin player.

However, such a situation was just an example. For the vast majority of Interstellar people, the Ancient Blue Star era instruments were a strange existence. It wasn’t even possible to appreciate them, not to mention to use them.

Bai Li had thought that these musical instruments, when passed down in Carefree Farmstead, might become an opportunity for the Interstellar people to regain their interest and love for music and art, and enrich their daily life.

Therefore, he was probably going to have to apologize to those fellow netizens who came to him for help. He would not only not control the matter, but may have to quietly push it forward.

The game provided only one tune for each instrument at the beginning. Those players wanting to get new tunes would need to find NPCs and do tasks to get more. This was the fastest and most rapid method, but it depended on luck.

The other method was for players to look up information related to their instruments on Starnet, and perhaps find the handed down tunes, bring them into the game, practice, and also quickly and skillfully master them.

All he had to do was to wear the vest of a good Samaritan, and send a few familiar tunes to Starnet every once in a while.

Bai Li uploaded a few pieces of music to Starnet the same day, and said that he had accidentally found them in an ancient book and decided to post them on the Starnet for everyone to enjoy. In addition to the tunes, two of the songs had complete lyrics.

He didn’t know if Interstellar people would be able to sing them successfully. After all, the style of those tunes was mostly soft and gentle, and nowadays there was a big difference between the military songs and war songs that made people feel so passionate after listening to them.

After he uploaded the scores, Bai Li spent some time comforting the poor fellow netizens who left him messages, then stopped paying attention to the matter and turned his head to his own business. His offline time was practically filled with taking care of the crops in his yard, treating his brother’s Genetic Collapse Disorder, and spending time with his boyfriend. However, he was enjoying himself and wasn’t dissatisfied.

What Bai Li didn’t expect was the perseverance of the Interstellar people, which far exceeded his imagination. For those players who bought instruments and tried them in reality, it took two or three days to accept the fact that they didn’t also learn how to use the instruments in reality amidst the whimpers of their family.

They hadn’t learned, but the strict point was that their brains conveyed the ideas they already knew, but their hands, or if they needed to use their mouths or even other parts of the body, said they needed more practice. It was like saying that a certain instrument, when used by beginners, would make a sound like sawing wood. It was pretty much the same situation.

Dawn came. The dream ended, and the players, overwhelmed by excitement, found themselves about to die socially. Their relatives, friends, and neighbors, all discovered that they had learned a super scary skill from the game that could be used to a maddening effect, and the louder the sound and the more intense the playing, the more pronounced the effect.

Players, TAT.

That discovery made their world sink for a while, but when they recovered a little, they heard a rumor that “this year’s hottest virtual reality game Carefree Farmstead also had a day to flop” circulating around their house, and the source of the problem was actually them.

Who would have thought that their personal curiosity and exploration of ancient musical instruments would become a black spot on Carefree Farmstead and make some people resist it? This was a big deal!

Have those people forgotten that Carefree Farmstead was a virtual reality game with a “Spiritual Pacification Estimate” of 90%? The effect of the treatment of Genetic Collapse Disorder wasn’t only visible to the naked eye, but also better than other games, right? Now because they have played more suona and drums, they have lessened the good impression of the game that they hadn’t even started to play. How could this be?

“Why not? Anyway, I am not Therian, and not affected by Genetic Collapse Disorder. Carefree Farmstead, this game that I watched in the live broadcast is really fun, but it’s too difficult to grab a place in the game. Instead of waiting, why shouldn’t I go to find other games to play?” A certain player’s neighbor said.

After he heard his neighbor’s words, that player’s mind became a mess, and he thought he had to do something to restore the impression of his favorite game in the minds of others, otherwise he would become the sinner of the whole game! So he quickly boarded the game, gathered all the players he knew who had also bought musical instruments from TaoTao together, explained in a few words the problem he had encountered, and tried to get everyone to help him with ideas to save the game’s reputation as soon as possible.

As a result, the crowd looked at themselves, then looked at each other, and no one said anything for half a day. It was only after a long time that someone in the crowd sighed quietly. “Ahem, it’s useless to look for us. I was talking to a good match not long ago, and heard others say that I am at home every day with a stick going, ‘toot, toot, blow.’ Today, that person came to me and said that we have different interests, and to forget about the matchmaking thing.”
