Chapter 4666: Desperate Escape (45)

Recalling several mechanisms carefully. Shooting steel needles in the door doesn't need to be said, a trap that disgusts people without any technical content. Opening and closing doors, pouring water and draining water can't be considered mechanisms, after all, they can also be controlled manually. The first one that can be called a large mechanism is the balance.

However, the balance mechanism system doesn't just include the balance in the room, but the three balances in the three rooms plus the six ceilings supported above. This entire system constitutes the balance mechanism system.

The standard of this mechanism system is not bad. Because thinking about it, using purely physical means to achieve the smooth operation of this mechanism requires a certain professional level. Although it broke in the end, it just couldn't withstand violent destruction, and there was no problem in the part within the operating rules.

However, the entire mechanism only played the role of a tool, without participating in the game at all. The balance was used to show the players the lowering and raising, at most using the side with the blood basin to let the players judge whether they were the first to arrive. And the entire game process had nothing to do with the balance.

The game is based on the players' judgment of the good and evil of the players who arrived before and after them. However, the mechanism didn't give any information used to judge good and evil, including but not limited to: specifically how many people offered blood, how long they stayed in the room, whether one person in a team offered it, or both offered it. These are all important information.

If there is a cooperative level later, then some similar information should be given in front. Even if it is dragged to this level, at least some can be given with a mechanism. Unfortunately, there is no information at all. The balance mainly plays the role of a novice tutorial, at most letting players know that they should offer blood in this level, and offering blood might be a bit useful.

Anatoli pointed this out, but Stark was obviously very unconvinced. He said: "Then you say, what more important role can the mechanism play?"

"The most wrong point you made," Anatoli said, "is to cover up the blood. Of course you will say, that's because the mechanism design needs to mix water into the blood, so it can't be exposed. But the design based on this line of thinking itself is a failure."

"If it were me, I would design this mechanism around the state of blood. Because, the quantity of blood and the coagulation state of blood can give information about the number of blood donors and the stay time of blood donors. At the same time, it can also use several states in the process of blood coagulation to achieve the triggering of the mechanism. For example, liquid can pass through the pipe, semi-solid will be left on the screen as a counterweight, and completely solidified dried blood can be used to fix something."

"At this time, what the blood donors need to think about changes from simply 'whether to donate blood' to 'how to donate blood to achieve the maximum effect'. This is the correct way to encourage them to donate blood, rather than using such a superficial mechanism, relying entirely on the players' own guessing and game to complete this level."

"There are many interesting ways to play with blood. For example, blood slot machine, each player waters one of the grids with fresh blood, and only by reaching the jackpot can they leave. Or blood bank, according to the different temperatures of the safe deposit boxes stored, and the amount of blood stored, different benefits can be achieved. Temperature can determine the speed of blood coagulation, and the speed of blood coagulation can determine the time limit for achieving the goal. As long as it is completed within the time limit, you can win your blood back and transfuse it back into your body. If it is overtime, you can't transfuse it back."

Pamela bared her teeth below, and whispered to Harley: "To be honest, I feel that if it were designed like this, the two of us would definitely not be able to run."

"Playing games doesn't necessarily mean making money," Harley said, "Through your own thinking and game, to reduce the difficulty of subsequent games, isn't it very fulfilling?"

"I feel you are purely a gambler mentality." Pamela sighed, "Fortunately, this level designer is relatively vegetable. If it were really designed as he said, you would have to lose all your blood there."

"Then I'm willing," Harley said with her hands on her hips, "Even if I lose, it's better than the two of us standing there guessing for a long time, and finally you knocked me out and dragged me away."

It has to be said that if Anatoli didn't speak, most players hadn't realized the problem yet. But now that he said so, many people reacted—the fun of the instance was not the credit of the mechanism at all, the mechanism played zero role.

No, to be precise, it played a negative role. First, it was jammed, providing players with rest time, and then another big slap, slapping the organizer himself here.

To discuss the fun in this aspect, it could be considered quite accomplished in terms of being funny.

Of course, although it is a mechanism escape room, it doesn't have to be the main melody of the mechanism. If you change to another designer, for example, Superman, they might admit it generously, and might even say "it's already very good to provide assistance for the game". In fact, it is indeed the case, it is not impossible to take the game between players as the main body and the mechanism as the auxiliary.

But who is Stark. Especially since this is not the normal Iron Man, this is the White Tank, belonging to the evil version of Iron Man, which can be said to have magnified the arrogance in Tony Stark by more than ten times. How could he accept being a supporting role?

Anatoli didn't know the White Tank, but he saw his character from the previous few levels, just as he said, putting only one mechanism in a room, and putting nothing else, isn't it clear that he wants people to only look at his mechanism?

This kind of person is extremely self-centered, feeling that his design is a real work of art, other people's ideas are auxiliary, the whole escape room he is the greatest contributor, all praise belongs to him, without him the whole realm wouldn't turn.

It was precisely because he deduced this point that Anatoli started from this aspect. Stark was indeed fooled, he was trembling with anger, roaring: "What do you know, the key exquisite structure and stable fit of mechanical engineering..."

"I'll interrupt," Charles said, "This Mr. Tiger, I'm afraid I have to remind you that the mechanism you designed has neither exquisite structure nor stable fit."

Bruce also helped below: "You wouldn't think the polygonal structure of the balance mechanism you made is exquisite, right? If it weren't for it, I wouldn't have deduced the location of the central energy room so easily."

"Haha, then it seems that you are completely to blame for being chased now." Harley didn't show weakness, laughing while saying, "The ring you designed destroyed your own safe house, the balance you designed betrayed the most important structure of your secret room, and as a result, the mechanism room you designed now trapped yourself. Without you, who else would make us laugh?"

"Don't say that, Miss. Didn't this help us a lot?" Loki followed closely, "If it weren't for the mechanisms he designed, we wouldn't have cleared the level so easily. If you ask me, this escape room is really a bit simple, completely wasting our high-difficulty tickets. Must give him a bad review after going out..."

"Yes." Schiller below said, "I think the evaluation of the gentleman on the top floor is not bad. 'The mechanism is simply like a huge championship trophy stuck in the center of the football field, if it played any role, it was probably tripping its own people'."

Everyone laughed loudly, and the cheerful atmosphere filled the entire level. There was no time to mourn for Stark, and what followed was the ridicule from the monitoring room.

Joker laughed until he was under the chair, he wiped his tears and said: "Still remember what he said? The Soviet guy is his nemesis! Not very smart, but quite self-aware! Hahahaha!"

"Ha, let this guy have a straight face every day, saying others are idiots in mechanical engineering, this time he kicked the iron plate, right?" Scarecrow was obviously accumulated resentment for a long time, after all, their cooperation in the design of this escape room couldn't be called pleasant. The arrogant personality of the White Tank was destined to be incompatible with most people.

"No wonder I always feel that this escape room is weird," Mephisto said, "Originally the plot was weak, and there were no cutscenes, all relying on the content in the room to support the scene. As a result, the room didn't have any content, and nothing was put except the mechanism. Even if you put a few corpses or bone racks, it would be good to set off the atmosphere."

Although other lunatics didn't like to put corpses, because they felt it was too superficial, they indeed agreed with what Mephisto said, there was too little content in the room, everyone was working hard on the mechanism, which was also the main reason why the mechanism was violently destroyed.

If the mechanism itself was fun, it would be fine, but the interaction of the mechanism was too poor, the information provided was very limited, and the researchable part was insufficient, which led to the entire process being too linear, lacking exploration fun.

It can be said that if it weren't for the few people participating in the game having lives, without exploration options, they would create exploration options themselves; limited information could also rely on amazing wisdom and mind-reading to carry out a lot of guessing and games, it was very likely that they would receive bad reviews because of boredom and monotony.

"Your overly inflated desire for praise ruined everything." Anatoli concluded, "You feel that players are not worthy of touching the mechanism you carefully designed, so you electrify the mechanism, making people have nowhere to start, leading to no interaction at all; nor do you feel that players can understand the subject of mechanical engineering, without any idea of leading them to explore the principles of mechanical structure, leading to everything you designed being very superficial and boring."

Anatoli showed his cards: "If your shallow and poor spiritual world cannot bring us enjoyment in philosophy and art, then at least, you can use your developed limbs to reduce the difficulty of our level clearing. Let us, only for the purpose of alms and pitying you, not make your stupidity seen here public—I said, this is your only chance." ===== CHAPTER 4667 =====

If the mechanism itself were fun, that would be one thing, but the interactivity of the mechanism is too poor, the information provided is very limited, and the parts worth studying are insufficient, which leads to the entire process being too linear and lacking the joy of exploration.

It can be said that if it weren't for the fact that the few people participating in the game were capable—if there were no exploration options, they would create their own; even with limited information, they could rely on astonishing intelligence and mind-reading to engage in a great deal of guessing and game theory—it would very likely receive bad reviews for being tedious and monotonous.

"Your overly inflated desire for praise has ruined everything," Anatoly summarized. "You both feel that the players are unworthy of touching the mechanisms you meticulously designed, thereby electrifying them and leaving people with nowhere to start, resulting in not a shred of interactivity; and you don't think the players can understand the subject of mechanical engineering, having no thought of leading them to explore the principles of mechanical structure, which leads to everything you have designed being very superficial and uninteresting."

Anatoly revealed his true intent: "If your shallow and impoverished spiritual world cannot bring us enjoyment in terms of philosophy and art, then at least, you can use your well-developed limbs to lower the difficulty of us passing the level. Let us, purely for the purpose of charity and pitying you, refrain from making the stupidity of yours that we have witnessed here public—I said it, this is your only chance."
