When I write a bug it becomes the core gameplay

Seeing Wang Dawei unpacking the controller while showing off his speedrunning results, the audience knew that he was starting to show off again.

"What, are you going to start telling the story about your good brother Black Dragon dragging you into a trap and speedrunning again?"

"Good guy, I've told you this a few times, and I'm almost done!"

"We just met the official minimum standards, so there's no need to be proud!"

But Wang Dawei ignored the barrage and continued: "Maybe some new viewers don't know, but I am now a speedrunning anchor!

"I want to thank my good brother Black Dragon again..."

This matter started when the official launched this national speed pass event.

Originally, Wang Dawei had no interest in this kind of activity. Although he had also cleared "Ascension" and was considered one of the potential target users of this speedrunning competition, Wang Dawei knew very well that he relied purely on the guidance of his boss.

The black dragon and he were in charge of killing indiscriminately. The black dragon was responsible for killing indiscriminately in front, while he was responsible for squeaking in the back, adding blood and buffs.

Later, after the bugs in Sky Swim and Relic Sword were discovered, he became a ruthless combat skill launcher.

The damage was indeed a lot, but it was basically done through the combat skills of the BUG Relic Sword, and the operation was not practiced at all.

How is it possible to play speedrunning with this kind of background?

Originally this kind of activity was out of the question for him, but the good news is that this official speedrunning contest also has an activity to recruit new people! As long as you bring a new person to participate in the speedrunning competition, not only will the conditions for reaching the standard be relaxed, but the rewards will also increase!

Black Dragon originally played with Wang Dawei. How could he let him go in this situation?

Directly stalking, rubbing and rubbing, both with reason and with emotion.

Wang Dawei refused at first, but after Black Dragon repeatedly promised that speedrunning would not be difficult at all, and emphasized that the speedrunning competition is very popular now and that it will greatly increase the popularity of the live broadcast room after completion, he finally relented. This speed-passing journey started by accident.

Of course, there are many innocent victims like Wang Dawei.

Some players had never even played "Ascension" and used this as a reason to refuse. Unexpectedly, the inviters instantly became more enthusiastic.

"Brother, it's not that I don't want to help you, but I've never played this game before!"

"Never played it? That's even better! For new users, the standards will be lowered and the rewards will be better! Come on, come on!"

I thought I could persuade the other party by saying that I had never played before, but unexpectedly, the other party became even more enthusiastic!

This is quite difficult.

As a result, many newcomers were inexplicably drawn into this speedrunning contest.

If it were a general speedrunning activity, these newcomers would be quickly dissuaded. After all, speedrunning itself is a bit boring, especially for those players who are not talented. It is very likely that they will run three or four times in the first few minutes. I can’t understand it even if I run for hours, and it’s easy to get discouraged.

But this speedrunning competition not only relaxed the standards, but also dismantled the speedrunning process. Most players only need to run the first ten minutes of the process, which undoubtedly greatly reduces the difficulty.

For laymen, speedrunning is something out of reach; but for insiders, it is not difficult for those who are difficult, but not difficult for those who can master it.

As a professional speedrun player, Heilong basically taught Wang Dawei step by step, allowing Wang Dawei to quickly master many necessary speedrun operations.

For example, the method of jumping and grabbing when the floor is hot, such as a specific route, such as which props to pick up and where to use the props, etc...

Of course, even without Black Dragon's teaching, these newcomers to speedrunning can quickly master the details of speedrunning, because many players have posted speedrunning tutorials on the Internet.

The earliest one, of course, is the mysterious "Brother Quan Tan" ST002. Almost immediately after the official speedrunning competition was released, the first detailed dismantling video of the small track was released, including all the details. All key links are dismantled in detail.

Although it is only a video + text format, it is detailed enough.

Players can reach the minimum standard required by the official as long as they practice for a period of time.

Moreover, the speed play of "Ascension" is quite enjoyable, mainly because of the existence of "air swimming" and the BUG sword, which shorten the original game process just right!

Wang Dawei gave it a try and found that under the guidance of Heilong, his progress was actually pretty good.

And the most important thing is that he thinks it's quite interesting to play games like this, it's a different kind of fun!

After completing the first 10 minutes of speed running on the track, he was even more confident and joined the audience in the live broadcast room to start challenges on some subsequent tracks.

Then during this run, I completed five small tracks without even realizing it!

The fun of speedrunning itself, the official rewards for completing speedrunning, the encouragement of friends, the popularity of the live broadcast room...the combination of various factors made Wang Dawei, who is not a speedrun player at all, or even a host in the game area, actually I persevered and completed the highest goal in this speedrunning competition: speedrunning five small tracks!

Of course, his achievement is nothing among real speedrunners.

Take the first small track as an example. The official standard score is 14 and a half minutes. Wang Dawei’s score is just over 14 minutes. The top three on the current ranking list have already broken into 9 minutes.

This gap of nearly five minutes, if placed on the list, would be missed by dozens or hundreds of places.

However, due to the special reward mechanism of this competition, Wang Dawei did not feel too much frustration. He got the reward and made great progress compared with his previous results, so he was very satisfied!

Then, Wang Dawei began to use the spirit of "good things can't be kept for yourself" to attract other friends into the trap and speed pass together.

In this way, this national speedrunning competition achieved unprecedented success...

…

Lilith was dumbfounded.

"That's wrong! That's not how the script was written! It's completely different from what I imagined!

“These players have never been exposed to speedrunning, why can they get so many positive emotions from it!!”

Lilith felt that her brain was a little overloaded. She couldn't figure out what the problem was for a while!

It always feels like there is some information that I have overlooked.

Obviously, this key message is... Gu Fan used the positive emotions that angels gave him to enhance the positive emotions that players get from speedrunning. Coupled with the just-right activities of this speedrunning competition, it produced an excellent effect. …

But obviously, Lilith is unlikely to think of this.

Not only that, Gu Fan would continue to guide her in the wrong direction, making her focus mainly on the rules of the event itself.

"Mr. Li, with all due respect, the person who set the rules for this speedrunning competition... is really smart!" Gu Fan looked like he was hesitating to speak.

Lilith frowned slightly: "Huh? How do you say this?"

Gu Fan coughed twice: "Mr. Li, don't you realize that there is a fundamental problem with this speedrunning competition? Why should the threshold of the speedrunning competition be lowered and the rewards increased?"

Lilith said confidently: "Of course it is to attract more new players to join! If the threshold is not lowered and the rewards are not increased, new players will not participate in this competition at all, and naturally they will not be able to accept enough torture in the speed run. Then how can you collect negative emotions!”

Gu Fan shook his head slightly helplessly: "Mr. Li, this idea is very rich, but the reality is very skinny! Some things seem perfect from a theoretical point of view, but from a practical point of view, there will be many problems.

"Take this speedrunning competition as an example. "Ascension" itself is a very suitable game for speedrunning. Its operation difficulty is moderate, and due to the emergence of bugs such as air swimming, the process planning is also relatively reasonable. This is similar to " The cesspool butterfly speedrun of Hellraiser is fundamentally different.

"The gameplay of speedrunning itself has a certain amount of fun. You use various rewards to strengthen this fun, and also allow players to help and encourage each other. Although it attracts more players to join, it also makes them gradually feel Now comes the fun of speedrunning...

"I can only say, Mr. Li, you are a great man!

“You burned yourself, illuminated the players, and especially made an indelible contribution to the speedrunning community, allowing ordinary players to feel the fun of speedrunning, and you also paid for so many prizes out of your own pocket...

“I think all speedrunners should kowtow to you, you can bear this!

"No, I even think they should erect a statue for him and pay homage before every speed run..."

Gu Fan has sincere feelings and even wants to kowtow to Lilith on behalf of the players.

The corners of Lilith's mouth twitched slightly, and she unconsciously crushed the Coke can in her hand.

"Damn it! There is a mole! I must have been plotted by the mole!!"

Mr. Li lost money and negative emotions, the players made money and gained happiness, and a world where Mr. Li lost both sides was achieved.

This made Lilith collapse a little, and the good mood she had when she first returned to the human world was instantly gone!

However, seeing Lilith's hair about to explode, Gu Fan was also worried that her sudden rage would affect him, so he quickly started temperature control training for her.

"But Mr. Li, don't be too angry. This matter can be summed up later.

"Isn't there another "Road Rage Simulator"? If this game and peripherals can be successful, all the negative emotions lost can be earned back."

Hearing this, Lilith temporarily suppressed the anger in her heart.

“Well, what you said makes sense. We’ll talk about big things later. We’d better wait and see how the new game goes after it’s released.

"Then we'll catch the mole slowly!"

Lilith opened another bag of potato chips angrily, and then continued watching Wang Dawei's live broadcast.

Then slowly "catch" the mole?

Gu Fan keenly noticed this keyword.

At this time, he was quite sure that this speed-running competition was definitely not Lilith's idea. Otherwise, he would just silently take the blame and not think about the problem of a mole.

However, Lilith's statement was to "catch the mole" rather than "find the mole" to settle the score.

This shows that Lilith did not directly think that the person who gave her the advice was a mole. Instead, she thought that the mole might be in other links and further investigation was needed?

It seems that this mysterious person is very trusted in Mr. Li's heart!

Gu Fan silently wrote down this information.
