Chapter 4151 Responsibilities
Other game strategies can be disregarded, but determining the number of players requires careful consideration.
After all, this determines whether they can pass through the Golden Land.
Angell: "My thought is that having more people doesn't necessarily make a difference; in fact, it might be a burden."
This is actually the common idea of the team currently working on the Golden Country strategy.
Initially, seeing that Golden City had no player limit, the teams immediately deployed large numbers of people, attempting to conquer it through sheer numbers. However, after truly understanding the mechanics of Golden Illusion, they immediately realized that simplification was far more effective in conquering Golden City.
Laplace nodded in agreement: "I agree with that. As things stand, the fewer people there are, the higher the probability of getting through."
The number of Golden Phantoms is closely related to the number of team members, and the challenge of Golden Phantoms is extremely difficult. Therefore, some teammates with slightly weaker combat power can temporarily give up.
For example, gray porcelain.
“I’m definitely going,” the rabbit girl said slowly.
This is beyond doubt.
She is the leader of the Rabbit Hole gang; if she doesn't go, no one else can get in.
Gabriel extended his synapse: "I want to go too. I missed it last time, so it should be my turn this time, right?"
Angell looked at Gabriel, his eyes thoughtful.
Gabriel's combat strength is not bad, but compared to the Golden Phantom, there is definitely a big gap; however, his "jinx" might have a surprising effect in battle... Therefore, Angor's biggest dilemma is whether or not to let Gabriel enter.
He will go by himself, Rabbit Girl will go, Gray Porcelain and Lüno cannot go, and Laplace cannot go because he needs to maintain the Mist Spirits outside, so only Gabriel can go with them.
But can Gabriel really hold off the Golden Phantom on his own?
Especially in the absence of gold artifacts, Angell was actually somewhat suspicious.
The rabbit girl then raised her hand: "I have an idea..."
Everyone looked at her.
The rabbit girl said slowly, "I want to go alone."
Angell: "...Take back your idea."
The rabbit girl shook her head, her voice firm: "I've thought about it carefully. The more Golden Illusions there are, the harder they are to deal with. If I go alone, I only need to face one Golden Illusion."
When faced with only a golden phantom, the rabbit girl compared her current resources to the situation.
She has many magical artifacts.
There are also the magic-patterned scrolls left over from the fight against the Dream Eradicators, such as "Lone Shadow in a Cage," "Sea of Electrocution," "Economic Forest," and so on.
There's even the resentment of the original body, the tooth and bone staff borrowed from the Tooth Fairy Ancient Ruins.
Furthermore, she cannot use gold artifacts and can weaken the Golden Illusion's abilities.
Given the shift in their power dynamics, she felt that her chances of taking down the Golden Phantom on her own were definitely greater than those of multiple people.
After listening to the rabbit girl's analysis, Angell remained silent for a moment.
Without a doubt, the rabbit girl is very strong in combat. With her individual strength and various protective items, the probability of her defeating the Golden Phantom is not low.
But what happens next?
"You can defeat the Golden Phantom on the second floor, but what about the third floor?"
Currently, no information has been leaked from the third level of Golden Township.
In this situation, the probability of her failing miserably if she ventures in alone is extremely high.
The rabbit girl's eyes dimmed: "I really didn't think too much about the situation on the third floor. I just felt that we can't rely on you every time."
"Moreover, even without your help, I see a possibility of passing the first two levels of Golden Village this time."
"That's why I wanted to try it on my own."
Angell glanced at the rabbit girl, then looked back at Laplace.
Laplace was staring at the rabbit girl with a surprised look. When Angel looked over, she stroked her chin and said in an almost whispered tone, "So I was this stubborn when I was little?"
He looked at Laplace, mainly to see what she was thinking, but the result was: "..."
Laplace gave Angell a look: "I'll talk to her."
After speaking, Laplace pulled the bunny girl to the side of the garden and began to whisper.
Angell then looked at Gray Porcelain and Gabriel: "What are your thoughts?"
Gray Porcelain shook his head vigorously. It seemed that he was unlikely to be selected. Under these circumstances, he had to keep a low profile and speak as little as possible to avoid being targeted.
Gabriel hesitated for a moment, then managed to stammer out, "Do I... still have a chance to go?"
Angell shrugged.
Gabriel said in a low voice, "If I have the chance, I would still like to go."
Angel: "Then let's write down your name first. Whether you can go or not, we'll discuss it later."
Gray Porcelain and Gabriel stopped talking, and Rabbit Girl and Laplace didn't return either, so Angel turned his gaze to the only person left on the field—Montedan.
"And you? Do you have any suggestions?"
Montedan paused for a moment: "I don't have any suggestions, but I agree with the idea that fewer people might be better."
"Besides that, I've been thinking about what the possibilities are for the third level of the Golden City."
Angell raised an eyebrow: "Oh? Have you figured something out?"
Montedan tapped his fingers lightly on the stone table, his brows furrowing slightly: "In my opinion, the Golden Land is a checkpoint with a fairly obvious game-theoretic mechanism."
"Moreover, it seems that the first and second layers are closely related."
The existence of the first layer of "golden artifacts" is to deal with the "golden phantom" on the second layer.
But if you hold gold, the golden illusion will be amplified.
If the Golden Phantom kills your teammates, you still have a chance to go back to the first floor to regroup and even choose a more suitable piece of gold.
Every link and every mechanism is perfectly integrated, like a screw and a screw hole, fitting together very deeply.
“If the entire Golden Country operates on this mechanism,” Montedan said, “then, wouldn’t the third layer also have a profound connection with the first two layers?”
As soon as the question was raised, Montedan gave his guess: "I think it's very likely."
"If the second layer is linked to the first layer, will the third layer be linked to the second layer? Or will the third layer directly link to the first two layers?"
Montessand's statement made Angell also fall into thought for a while.
Logically speaking, it does seem to be possible.
As a dungeon level, the combat in Golden Land may vary from person to person.
Just like the dream version and the real version of Nereid, their fighting styles are very different.
But the mechanism itself is likely to remain consistent.
Since this level is based on game theory and strategy, the third level will most likely have the same mechanism, with perhaps some additional variables related to individual combat strength.
The optimal solution for the first two levels of Golden Village, at present, seems to be: going alone, with fewer people is better.
So why can't the third layer be the same?
Thinking about it this way, Angel suddenly realized that it might be possible for the rabbit girl to challenge the Golden City alone. Perhaps, she might even achieve a perfect victory?
As Angell was thinking this, Laplace returned from a corner of the garden.
The rabbit girl sat on a swing in the distance, her head down, seemingly lost in thought.
Laplace walked over and gestured for Angell to come aside and talk.
Angel nodded and followed her to the side.
"So, has it gone well? Have you reached an agreement?"
Laplace didn't give a direct answer, but said calmly, "At first, I thought that my childhood self had a stubbornness that I hadn't even realized I possessed. But after talking to her, I realized that it wasn't stubbornness, but rather a kind of distorted sense of responsibility."
"A misguided sense of responsibility?" A hint of doubt flashed in Angell's eyes.
Laplace nodded: "This sense of responsibility has gradually emerged since she became the 'mayor' of Rabbit Town. For example, the reason she is so determined to take over the model Wonderland in Area 1 is because she is too 'responsible' for Rabbit Town."
"Especially when you hand over the leadership of this challenge, Sandbox Wonderland, to her, her implicit sense of responsibility becomes even stronger."
"She felt that she had strongly requested to participate in the Sand Table Wonderland project, and she was also the leader of the Rabbit Hole team, so she had to bear the greatest responsibility."
As Laplace said this, a strange glint flashed in his eyes: "Speaking of which, she was created based on some of my childhood memories, with the addition of some memories from the Sea of Empty Mirrors. In a way, she is my childhood self."
"I carefully recalled my childhood, and I don't think I had this strange sense of responsibility back then, did I?"
Laplace shrugged: "Of course, it's also possible that when I was a child, I didn't have to bear any responsibilities, and all I had to do was become stronger..."
Angell's expression turned somewhat strange after hearing this: "Are you sure it's a sense of responsibility?"
Laplace nodded: "Although she didn't say it outright, I know her."
Angell: "..."
Angel recalled the situation in Rabbit Town that he had seen before. Although the rabbit girl was the "mayor", it was basically Eve who helped with everything, big and small.
I never expected a hands-off manager to have such a strong sense of responsibility.
But thinking about it carefully, it seems understandable. His attitude towards Dream Crystal Plains or "Dream Mirror" is pretty much that of a hands-off manager. But if something really happens, he will definitely step up and take responsibility.
With that in mind, Angell stopped pondering the question of "responsibility" and instead asked, "Then why did she choose to go to the Golden Land alone?"
Laplace: "Perhaps because in Nereid, she felt she hadn't performed well and hadn't fulfilled her responsibilities as a 'fighter,' and maybe she wanted to prove herself in the Golden City."
Simply put, the core motivation of the bunny girl is to prove her sense of responsibility and fighting value.
"So, is she still planning to go alone?"
Laplace didn't answer, but looked at Angell: "What do you think?"
"My thoughts..."
He personally prefers to go to Golden Land with the rabbit girl, as that would be safer.
But this is only his perspective on the outcome.
But if this incident can help the rabbit girl "grow" or bring about a psychological transformation, then that is more important than the outcome itself.
Therefore, if the rabbit girl really insists on choosing to pursue her alone, Angell will respect her choice.
Laplace gave him a deep look: "You've been influenced by Montedan too?"
Ingres: "Growth itself is also a result."
Laplace paused for a moment, then steered the conversation back on track: "My opinion is that you should be the one to make the decision."
“But now you say we should respect her ideas, so I’ll make a few changes and add some of my own opinions.”
Angell: "?"
Laplace: "The second day of the Sandbox Wonderland will be here soon. We'll go outside and check out the current team leaderboard then."
"If other teams have already cleared any level and achieved a perfect score, then I still hope you and she can enter the Golden City together, as this will increase your chances of success."
"But if by tomorrow no one has completed the game perfectly and Rabbit Hole's score is still dominant, then we can give her a chance to try."
Angell roughly understood what she meant: if the score was high enough, the rabbit girl could be given a chance to "make a mistake".
But if their scores are not good tomorrow, then don't think about "growth" yet; efficiency should come first.
Angell thought about it and decided that this would work.
It takes into account the feelings of the rabbit girl and also ensures that they don't fall behind in this battle for points because of a single decision.
“Yes,” Angell said. “But will she accept?”
Laplace nodded: "I mentioned this idea to her before, and she accepted it."
Since the rabbit girl had no objections, it was settled.
However, Angel suddenly thought of something else: "...If someone catches up, will it just be me and the rabbit girl? Should we add Gabriel?"
A thoughtful look flashed in Laplace's eyes: "If we can ensure Gabriel's survival, we can bring him along. His Word of Power might have a miraculous effect."
……
A moment later, the suspended "Stone Table Conference" resumed.
Ingres and Laplace expressed their thoughts.
Of course, they didn't say it was to take care of the rabbit girl's feelings, but rather it was a decision made after analysis.
Furthermore, Ingres also mentioned Montessori's "three-tier theory," acknowledging that the mechanism of the three tiers is closely related to the first two. In this case, if the first two tiers are simplified, the third tier is likely to become much easier as well.
The bunny girl's solo challenge of the Golden Land is a complete subtraction: no teammates, no golden artifacts, just facing a golden phantom without any enhancements.
In this situation, if she can get through the second floor, she might be able to get through the third floor as well.
Angell spoke eloquently, but most of his arguments were based on conjecture. However, after careful analysis, everyone agreed that his conjectures were reasonable.
Therefore, everyone eventually accepted the result.
However, whether the bunny girl can venture into the Golden Land alone remains to be seen until tomorrow's results.
Because as long as you don't clear the level, each level will enter a 24-hour cooldown period.
So as long as no one catches up in points tomorrow, they will be at least one day ahead of everyone else in terms of points.
