"Welcome back, Doctor."
Has game AI become this advanced?
Chapter Nine: Truly, Fang Fang and Zhou Zhou!
After the live stream ended, Li Ji couldn't wait to open Arknights and claim the rewards for completing the mission.
[New Player Task 1: Livestream an Arknights game and have at least 100 viewers. (13634/10) Task Reward: Any Operator Unlock Certificate x1.] (√)
[New Player Task 2: Create any squad and complete one battle (1/1). Reward: 10 Originium.] (√)
Congratulations! You have received: 1 Unlock Certificate for Any Operator and 10 Originium.
"So many people are watching?"
Li Ji exclaimed in surprise upon seeing the numbers.
Although some clues could be gleaned from the comments, it was truly unexpected that so many people would be so bored as to watch his live stream. Shouldn't this be prime time for those battling on the front lines of the Rift?
[Congratulations, Dr. Wanfeng, on completing the beginner's quest. Please confirm whether you wish to begin the first stage of the quest.]
"As expected, there are other tasks besides the beginner's tasks..."
Li Ji looked at the buttons on the panel again.
With the task completed, the button for the purchasing center's door has now lit up again, indicating that the unlocked e-commerce system is the purchasing center.
However, other buttons, such as operator recruitment and base building, remain grayed out and locked.
"Hmm... I wonder how difficult it will be later on."
Li Ji now needs to carefully consider more than just the simple matter of unlocking system functions.
If he fails to complete the mission now, it will accelerate the Arknights' invasion of this world.
The strength and the strength at which cracks appear are still unknown.
With his full three-star team plus a self-selected six-star team, there's no guarantee he can completely take down the newly appeared spatial rift.
It's important to understand that even if the maps are released chronologically from the beginning, what stands in his way is not just some main story maps, or relatively simple early-game maps like those for cavalry and hunters, and event maps.
If it were just these maps, Li Ji would accept all the missions without hesitation.
One decree, three dragons, and the world will be at peace.
However, hidden within the strange order in which Arknights releases maps chronologically is an extremely challenging map.
The first Contingency Contract, Ruins 59.
In the past, even without the supermodels of later generations, he could still manage to fight with older operators like Siege Queen Vina and Hellagur the Seeker, since there were still formulaic strategies available.
However, Li Ji currently only has three-star operators and a single selectable six-star operator.
A few days later, after the mission failed, he was given a level 59 ruin with all the stats maxed out. He didn't know how he was going to survive.
He doesn't even have a single operator who can push or pull. Is he supposed to put a welcoming avenue on the right and watch Red Blade Bro clear the level solo?
"The other buttons haven't been unlocked yet, and I don't have any other ways to get rewards. Wouldn't it be a bit too absurd to raise the difficulty to the point of getting stuck right now?"
Li Ji rubbed his chin, looking at the gray button for the operator search. "If I fail and cause the world to perish because of my failure, how will these unscrupulous businesses make money?"
He was quite curious about what was inside, since all his operators were currently at full strength. Operator recruitment couldn't be about finding special operators from this world, could it?
He hasn't been in this world for very long, and he doesn't know much about the overall strength of the special agents in this world.
The only ones I know are the teams that are prominently featured on the leaderboard.
For example:
The "Suspended Immortal Path" of Yan Kingdom, the "Sabbath of Calamity" of Colombia, the "Heavenly Imperial Guard" of the East Kingdom, the "Lament of the Iris" of Ursus, the "Queen's Crown" of Victoria, the "Day Banner" of Gaul, the "Oasis" of Sargon...
These are almost all of the top teams, and can be said to be the face of their respective countries.
In this era of constant war and disaster, the collapse of the idol economy has also turned these frontline heroes into "stars" in people's minds.
Some operators disliked becoming "idols," while others flocked to them.
"Alas, no matter when, even in the face of life and death, you can't escape these things."
Thinking of this, Li Ji couldn't help but sigh.
"Forget it, I still have to take on missions eventually, and I can't rely on these to get by until the end."
After thinking for a moment, Li Ji decided to start the mission at this stage. "Precyth, accept the second phase of the mission."
Phase Two of the mission has begun.
[Mission 1: Assemble a team to complete a raid operation with a difficulty level no lower than the previous operation (0/1). Mission reward: Unlock the operator recruitment function.]
【任务二：直播一场明日方舟游戏，并至少有五千名观众观看。（0/5000），任务奖励：任意干员解锁凭证X1。】【时间限制：72：00：00】
[New Player Task 3: Livestream an Arknights game and receive at least 3000 rubles in donations from strangers. (0/3000), Task Reward: Sanity Potion x3.]
[Note: 1. Failure to complete the task within the time limit will be considered a failure; 2. The evaluation criteria for unfamiliar viewers are determined by the system, and the system reserves the right of final interpretation; 3. All data is based on the previous live stream; 4. For any questions regarding the task, please click the report button in the upper right corner.]
This system wishes the PhD student a pleasant life.
"what?"
When Li Ji saw the three missions, he didn't really feel anything. There were many simpler raids than 4-4, and he could easily complete the mission by just choosing one.
While attracting 5,000 viewers might be a bit more difficult than before, based on the last live stream, even if there aren't tens of thousands of viewers for the next live stream, 5,000 should still be achievable.
But what is this 3000 yuan tip from a stranger?
"Precyth, what are the criteria for judging unfamiliar audience members?"
[Unfamiliar viewer: Has not interacted with you at all, has not sent any gifts, has not participated in any Supercell battles, is not a long-time viewer's alt account, and is not the Doctor's main or alt account...]
After a series of seemingly patch-like conditions imposed by Precyth, Li Ji only understood one thing.
"Damn it, thank goodness I ended the broadcast quickly this time. If I hadn't, the difficulty of the mission would probably be sky-high by now!"
Li Ji felt a chill run down his spine at the thought. If, at this stage, he failed to control the data properly, it would lead to the invasion of the Crisis Contract and some underworld monsters, and he would truly become a sinner for all time.
In his subsequent live streams, he said he absolutely couldn't continue to be so unrestrained.
"Anyway, there's still some time before the next live stream, let's take a look at what's in the purchasing center right now."
After saying that, Li Ji also exited the mission interface.
He walked toward the door of the purchasing center beside him, and the four characters "Purchasing Center" began to gleam with a pale white light again. The rusty door, like an elderly man trying to stand up to greet his friend, slowly opened with a stiff sound.
Compared to the environment of the command post outside, this place looked like it hadn't been used for decades, with its mottled walls filled with the smell of dampness and rust.
"Why does Rhodes Island feel like... a dilapidated building? What if a piece of an old, unrepaired ventilation duct falls from the ceiling and crushes me to death?"
Please don't worry, as this is the Doctor's first time using the purchasing center, the environment cannot be cleaned immediately. After the Doctor finishes their trip, you can fill out a questionnaire, and the system will clean and organize the items again.
Seemingly having heard Li Ji's mutterings, the system responded to him immediately.
"..."
Couldn't they have cleaned it beforehand? This customer service is terrible...
As expected of YJ's system, even after transmigrating, it's exactly the same.
First, they serve up the stale stuff for everyone to try, then they release a survey and gradually improve it. This game really is like Arknights!
Do you guys have Arknights like this?
It's really square and boat-like.
But Li Ji, who was complaining just a second ago, almost couldn't walk anymore when he reached the end and saw the goods.
"Fuck!"
Chapter 10: Please, let me spend money on in-game purchases!
Li Ji had assumed it would be an electronic product.
But seeing the actual goods displayed in this incongruous, moldy shop was still somewhat surprising.
The somewhat worn-out fan in front of him particularly impressed Li Ji, who exclaimed in amazement.
Anyone who has played Arknights (a roguelike game) should be familiar with it.
Old palm-leaf fan
Just seeing the name made Li Ji's eyes widen!
"This place actually sells collectibles! If I could customize how I buy collectibles, wouldn't I be invincible?!"
While marveling at the old palm-leaf fan, Li Ji was also drawn to a huge object behind it.
It was a huge machine painted yellow and pieced together like tractor parts, with a thick gun barrel in the sharp serrations at the front, resembling a brutal cyber beast.
[A huge, ugly thing]
He was the final boss in the "Return of the Jungle Warrior" event in Arknights.
As a boss, its strength is indeed not very good. After all, it is an early-game boss, and its stats and mechanics are not that terrifying.
Only the mass dizziness caused by the explosion and the unhindered escape of the high priest afterward make things a little tricky.
