Chapter 44 Special Needs (Part 2)
"The game ID of this player is 'marrying a robot as his wife'. He sent a lot of letters and called a lot of customer service phone calls. There was only one request, that is, when requesting to engage in a real series of battles, he could hire high-intelligent NPCs to act as soldiers. As for the price, he was willing to pay the same price as that of an ordinary player." Jiang Shaoping said the player's request, which caused many people to whisper.
"Yeah," Ling Chen nodded, then looked around, and the people present lowered their heads and stopped talking.
"This person is quite interesting. It seems that he has no sense of trust in people. Although ordinary players are not as obedient as NPCs in this game fighting mode, how can command a group of NPCs have a sense of honor than commanding tens of thousands of real players? From this point of view, he does not like to show off in front of many people, and probably cannot escape the deep home attributes." Li Sicong said, and from only a few details, he inferred the true character of this player.
"So, are we satisfied or not?" Ling Chen threw this question to them, and actually had an answer in his heart.
"From the perspective of market operation, it should be met. After all, the cost of hiring NPCs by the other party is directly entered into the company's account, and the cost of hiring players is distributed to ordinary players, and it is also conducive to the rapid progress of the battle. The original 3-day cycle could be shortened to within a few hours, but this also brings a problem, that is, it is not in line with the real battle with tens of thousands of people we promote. If the NPC battle is added, just add the previous one, it will make people wonder if we are making gimmicks," said Jiang Shaoping, the customer service manager, who had just spoken.
"That's right, artificial intelligence cannot be added in the real battle series of battles. It is the bottom line of external publicity. If you want to use NPCs to fight, just play the previous castle offensive and defensive battle." Ling Chen proposed his own plan. The purpose of opening up real war is to screen people with spiritual potential. Of course, you cannot give in and allow players to hire NPCs to make up their numbers in this kind of battle. Now some intelligent NPC characters are participating, but those are not visible to ordinary players. Players cannot openly allow players to hire NPCs to fight in the rules of the game.
Ling Chen did not miss the other party’s money, so of course he would not make any concessions because of market factors.
"Okay, I will reply to him like this." Jiang Shaoping showed a hint of regret. After all, once such a heavy-duty user is lost, it will be a major loss to the company's revenue. Of course, she didn't know that a large number of NPC smart characters under the control of A Tu are replacing this recharge player, and the money plundered from other Internets will flow into this game and bring a steady stream of market returns.
At the end of the round table in the conference room, Mr. He didn't say a word. When he heard the topic of discussion, he just raised his head a little, but he quickly lowered his head.

Zheng Xu looked at the reply in the game, "Dear players, the real war sequence must be used by real players. If you want to use NPC to participate in the war, you can use the previous castle offensive and defensive battle. I am very sorry. We are sorry for the obstacles to your gaming experience, but the real war sequence is to allow players to have a real experience of leading the army in war, so your previous request cannot be met, please forgive me."
"FUCK!" Zheng Xu saw this reply and wanted to smash the computer.
He played this game for more than a month, and the reason was that in the promotional poster of this game, the face of the female NPC was somewhat similar to his doll Xiaoling, and they both gave people an ethereal feeling.
This female NPC is the princess of an oriental NPC castle "Mulan" in the background of this game. She is named Ge Ling. Her specialty is "chanting", which can keep the morale of soldiers on the battlefield constant to one hundred.
After he got on the game, he quickly figured out the entire game. The background was very simple, which was the confrontation between the East and the West, with castles as the center. There was no complicated main line at all, and NPCs also had the ability to develop. It is the theme of the game to expand the dominance and influence of their castles through normal diplomacy and combat.
The newly built castle he chose to belong to the Eastern Castle, and went to this NPC called "Ge Ling".
In his castle, he never recruits idle players to act as various officials. Even if the NPC is less efficient, he still uses NPCs.
What made him happy was that the Oriental NPC castle designed a relatively high AI, and the development level was needless to say, it was just some settings. However, when fighting with players, it can be seen that the design intelligence is quite powerful and can target targeted attacks against the weaknesses of players' configurations. This is rare in online games. At one point, many people suspected that this NPC was artificially controlled by the game company.
However, Zheng Xu believed that it was not played by humans, because he believed that people do not have that temperament and people could not consider so many battlefield details.
Before the Real Wars series came out, one of his favorite things was to go to this "Mulan" castle, find the Princess "Ge Ling" to talk to and take on the task.
After receiving the rejected reply, he had no intention of participating in any real war missions, but entered Mulan Castle as usual.
"Hello, General Zhonglang, there are some castles in the West that are invading our allies and need your support." Princess Geling looked at him and said in the castle square.
Zheng Xu always felt that there were hidden tasks on Princess Ge Ling. Although he knew that it should have been designed by the game company, he always felt that Princess Ge Ling was different from other ordinary NPCs. The difference was that each conversation was not rigid, but changed according to the weather, character identity changes, and player power. This kind of conversation was more in line with the background of the entire game and had a clear purpose than the chatbots of many large companies.
It's no wonder that other players think that the game company sent someone to control this kind of intelligence, but he would rather believe that this is an NPC than that it was played by humans.
"Oh, if your dialogue ability is not limited to this kind of game background, then I will definitely spend a lot of money to buy your smart ones from your game company to install my little spirit. Nowadays, chat robots are just matched by words and don't understand the meaning at all." Although Zheng Xu doesn't like to learn, he still has some understanding of the development of artificial intelligence, and many experts have also explained the principles to him.
"That's not necessarily true." Zheng Xu saw this extra sentence on his dialog box. He was stunned. The first thing he did was to doubt whether his computer was hacked.
But he didn't really believe that this has never happened.
"Are you talking?" He clicked on Princess Geling's game character.
"Yes,"
"Who are you? You are a game employee," Zheng Xu asked.
"No, I'm an NPC in this game," Princess Ge Ling replied.
"How is it possible, when will the game NPC realize its existence?" Zheng Xu suspected that this was a joke made by a certain employee of the game. Although he was obsessed with dolls and artificial intelligence and did not believe in humans, he could also tell what reality is and what science fiction is.
