In the Diablos cave of Wildspire Waste.
Accompanied by a mournful cry from Diablos, it fell to the ground and died.
Ben couldn't help but laugh loudly: "Awesome!! Just a Diablos! A weak chicken!"
Looking at the Diablos corpse on the ground, Ben couldn't help but take a picture and send it to Zack on social media.
Two minutes later, Zack sent a message: "Holy crap, Ben, why did you switch to the gunlance? Didn't you aspire to be a katana Azure Star?"
"What katana? I don't understand what you're saying? Besides, I'm doing this for the team, aren't you guys complaining that the katana easily hits teammates by mistake? So I switched." Ben selectively forgot some things.
Although the katana was indeed very cool, when faced with the rampaging Diablos, he chose to abandon his faith.
Not just Ben, many other players who were stuck were also like this.
They joined these shortcut methods one after another, fully enjoying the joy of cheating.
And after these players defeated Diablos and Rathalos by cheating.
They didn't feel bored, on the contrary, they were full of confidence.
They couldn't wait to continue challenging the stronger monsters later.
Even some of the initial comments reappeared.
The difficulty of "Monster Hunter: World" is not challenging enough!
This gunlance and light bowgun are not just shortcuts, they're practically dropping out of school!
Faced with these cocky players, Lucas chuckled.
They've forgotten the pain once the wound has healed, when you face Deviljho, Nergigante, Kirin, and Lunastra, I hope you can still laugh.
............
The players happily hunted in the world of the New World, while Lucas also opened his system for the first time in a long time.
It's been a long time since he's done a lottery draw, and this time Lucas was really excited.
After all, his points hadn't moved since "Minecraft" went live.
The points generated by "Minecraft" must be huge.
With some excitement, Lucas opened the system.
Tens, hundreds, thousands… nine digits, exchanged for lottery draw chances.
Wow, he had accumulated nearly two thousand draws.
He's never been so rich!
Lucas was now very familiar with the lottery draw.
He directly opened the draw, starting with 500 pulls.
Lucas was too lazy to even look at the gold light, after 500 pulls, Lucas glanced over.
There were no golden items, but he did see a purple item.
'Keyboard Milk Spray Card (Limited to Self): After use, allow yourself to make incredible actions in the game accompanied by the commentator's predictions, use will bring a lot of positive attention to the game. (Sometimes milk spraying from the keyboard is not necessarily a bad thing)'
What the heck!?
Keyboard milk spray, is this letting others toxically support him?
And this effect doesn't seem strong enough!
Bring a lot of positive attention, he doesn't lack money for promotion now.
After a quick glance, Lucas threw it aside.
Then he saw a more interesting item.
'Self-Service Store Key*1: Can open the store to buy specific items.'
Can open the store to actively buy items?
Could similar items to the golden card that the AI showed before be bought directly?
Looking at the key item in front of him, Lucas found a preview next to it.
He tried clicking it, and a large pile of items popped up in front of Lucas.
But after scanning through it from beginning to end, Lucas was a little disappointed.
Because there were no items with golden quality or higher, like the 'Fear Converter' he got when making Outlast, and the purple items he got before like the 'Keyboard Milk Spray Card' were quite a few, but the prices were not cheap, all starting with eight-digit points.
Obviously, this thing was definitely inflated, after all, the fear converter could only earn a few million points in total, but this sells for eight digits?
Even a black-hearted merchant wouldn't be so excessive!
In addition, there were also memory capsules and regular skill trees, but each was priced at six digits.
"Too greedy!" Lucas couldn't help but sigh.
Then Lucas looked at the remaining skill books.
Some new ones had appeared, but most of them were the ones he had drawn before.
Item Design, Story: 83 books.
Camera, Director Professional, Psychology Professional Knowledge: 120 books.
Architecture, Fine Art Concept Art, Action Special Effects: 171 books.
Music, Sound Effects: 79 books.
Besides these, the rest were all memory capsules.
Absorb a wave first, and save the remaining points for a while.
While using the skill books, Lucas was also thinking.
But the next moment, a prompt appeared on the screen: The current skill value meets the conditions for promotion, opening the second stage.
It even upgrades!?
Lucas was stunned, only to see the system in front of him bloom with colorful lights, and a new UI interface appeared.
The gacha machine wasn't much different from before.
But how did the price of this point draw increase to 1 million per draw?
'Entering the second stage, previously obtained points can still be held.'
'In the second stage, the corresponding points obtained, in addition to emotional value, will be comprehensively referenced in conjunction with industry influence.'
What does that mean!?
Looking at the brand new system, Lucas was stunned for a long time, and after a little research, he finally understood what was going on.
First of all, the points are still derived from the player's emotions, just like before.
But the difference is that there is an upper limit threshold, which is industry influence.
And the so-called industry influence refers to what kind of positive changes have been brought to the game industry.
For example, new game types, and changes to the corresponding rules of the industry.
Of course, it has to be positive. Like the Atari ET crash in the previous life, that is a typical negative example.
At the same time, the item store has also opened the second stage.
Looking at his points, he tried a wave of five consecutive draws.
Lucas found that the things he drew were also different.
Director Professional Knowledge*1
Psychology Professional Knowledge*2
World Ancient Civilization History (Ancient Greece)*1
World Ancient Civilization History (Norse Era)*1
It wasn't limited to just fine arts and music, but a more comprehensive improvement.
But what about this influence!
If only he had drawn earlier!
He was one step late!
The establishment of the Nebula Games platform is definitely considered a decision that has gained a lot of influence.
After all, the era of channel dominance in the game industry was directly broken.
Although the channel alliance, as well as SkyNova and NetDragon are still looking for an opportunity to counterattack, to be honest, Lucas is not really afraid at all.
But now?
It's all gone!
Of course, it is not yet known whether it is limited to the influence brought by games, but even if it is, Monster Hunter can earn a lot of influence.
Including the previous "Undertale", etc., are all games that bring a lot of industry influence.
Even "Mirror" is the same, deeply changing the previous situation of low-quality old lewd anime games.
Making eroge bigger and stronger and creating new glory is also a kind of industry influence!
However, even so, the system update has given Lucas a new plan for the future development of the Nebula Games platform.
Isn't it just bringing positive influence to the industry!
Let's make a work to test it out a little.
Looking at the brand new system interface in front of him, Lucas thought for a while, and temporarily saved his points.
After all, with the upgrade of the system, although things have become better.
But the currency has also inflated, and the original rich life has suddenly become poor.
In addition, with Lucas's current abilities, it is enough for the time being.
It's not too late to draw a lottery when there is a need later, and he looked at the key he got and found that it can still be used, and the things in the store have all become things from the second stage of the system.
Of course, the price made him feel a little heartbroken.
Let's save another wave.
