Therefore, these wealthy people understand the existence of "cooking robots," and many are even quite interested in them, thinking that they might be more useful than human employees.
If this incident had happened at Blue Star Studio, it would definitely have been different.
The player base on Blue Star is pyramid-shaped, with typical free-to-play players making up the majority, and fewer people spending money as you move up the ranks.
This is determined by the game's mechanics.
The games produced by Bluestar have good balance, and each player can weigh the necessity of spending money based on their own income level.
Moreover, if the "cooking robot" had been created in League of Legends, the person who created it would probably have been permanently banned by Earth for "creating cheats".
As is well known, the League of Legends project team on Blue Star has the strictest, even inhumane, management of cheats.
However, the Dragon-Slaying Saber is an exception.
“Okay, let’s assume these players are all missing limbs and really need an auxiliary robot,” Ming said. “Instead of letting the players figure out how to solve this mechanized labor process themselves, it’s better for us, the official team, to provide a feasible solution.”
...
Mingyan proposed an idea at the small meeting, and all the designers present were delighted.
The deputy chief engineer nodded repeatedly, his face beaming, and said cheerfully, "Absolutely no problem! The next version will be online!"
"Idle Heroes" is a small mobile game, so it undergoes a hot update every Wednesday.
The following Wednesday, the Dragon Slayer Studio released a new pay-to-win item that shocked the world.
[Little Knife Sprite is now available!]
[Feed your Knife Sprite a nutritious meal every day, and it will collect treasure chests, upgrade heroes, and even draw cards and participate in events for you! The longer you feed it, the higher its intelligence will become, and it may eventually automatically match you with opponents in the arena!]
[For only 998, you won't regret it! Bring home the Little Knife Elf for just 998!]
...
The player who created the "cooking robot" has finally survived the seven-day ban period.
The moment his account was unbanned, he did the same thing as all the deeply addicted players... he rushed to collect the treasure chests.
Then he saw the latest recharge event for the Dragon Slayer Sword.
——Little Knife Elf!
This green elf with transparent little wings seems fine at first glance, but why does its smile seem so sly the longer you look at it?
This talented player immediately bought a month's supply of "Little Knife Elf".
The more he experienced the little elf's services, the wider his mouth opened.
—This! Is! Absolutely! The! Official auxiliary program!
The coolest thing is that this little sprite can be upgraded!
At level one, it can only remind players to log in periodically to collect treasure chests;
However, starting from level two, it can help collect treasure chests once a day;
At level three, it can automatically upgrade heroes when resources allow...
Similarly, the higher the level, the wider its range of influence and the stronger its effect.
So the question is, how do you upgrade this little sprite?
The answer is: Use items from the in-game store to feed them!
The store has launched three new types of Pokémon food, each of which can provide experience to Pokémon, but can only be fed once a day—naturally, the more expensive the food, the more experience it will give.
At the fastest, it would take three months to upgrade the Little Knife Elf to the maximum level.
By then, the Little Knife Sprite can basically do all the mechanized tasks for the player, including drawing cards and playing in the arena... Of course, it's still quite silly when playing in the arena, it just uses its skills in a routine manner.
However, its comprehensive and powerful functions completely surpass those of a "cooking robot".
The player was completely convinced.
The Dragon Slayer Studio is truly a genius! Not only can they officially sell cheat programs, but they also embedded an upgrade system into these programs?
Have you ever heard of plugins being able to be upgraded?
—It provides players with extra enjoyment! It's guaranteed to make you want to keep spending money, and even after you've topped up, you still won't be able to stop!
Upon opening the forum, sure enough, players were also discussing this heatedly.
[Blue Star: Go your own way and leave cheaters with no accounts to play.]
The Dragon-Slaying Saber: It will follow the path of cheating, leaving cheaters with nowhere to run!
Hahahaha, slaying the dragon is awesome!
[To thank the Dragon Slayer Sword for saving me 10,000 yuan on an assistant, I just sold my house and bought a 60-year-old Little Sword Elf!]
[Given the usual pattern with Dragon Slayer, shouldn't this little dagger sprite also have different grades? Rough sprite, ordinary sprite, excellent sprite, fine sprite, epic sprite, legendary sprite... Otherwise, wouldn't being the number one sprite on the server be a bit beneath its dignity?]
The Dragon Slayer Sword's move was so incredibly clever that it left many people speechless.
When many industry insiders described this news to each other, they said, "Have you heard? The Dragon Slayer Sword has created an official cheat for players! It can simulate almost all operations!"
Of course, some people might object in surprise, saying, "That 'idle game'? That one doesn't really have any gameplay, does it? The fun of that game isn't in the gameplay itself."
