The Boss King actually disguised himself as a novice village chief?!-Chapter 81 - 75: I Do Programming in the Game
Chapter 81: Chapter 75: I Do Programming in the Game
Having listened to the reports of the undead, he had to react, but of course, there were more pressing matters at the moment.
"I need a group of intelligent people, for we are troubled by a difficult problem," he said, looking at the undead. "Anyone can participate."
After Lind had stayed up all night studying the Blessed Weapon Gold Badge, previously owned by the former mayor of Prey Town, Ronin, he finally found some clues.
The Gold Badge had no offensive capabilities: it could neither defend nor attack. Apart from operating under certain rules according to the bearer’s thoughts and leaving indecipherable text, it had no other function.
To Lind, it shouldn’t have been so simple. The green glow on the badge was several times denser than that of the Carrion Queen’s Broken Sword. If the Broken Sword’s glow was a faint fluorescent green, then the Gold Badge’s was like dark green ink.
Continuing his research, he discovered that he could compile certain rules, and after those rules were inscribed on the badge, their content would continue to operate.
For instance, after he set the mathematical logic of "1+1=2," the Gold Badge could turn into a calculator.
As long as he provided enough rules within reason, the more things the Gold Badge could do, and the more meticulously it could perform them.
However, as the computational load increased, it would also drain his power. Without setting proper limits the first time, Lind nearly had his life sucked out by a formula, almost bringing him to the brink of world destruction.
Even though the Gold Badge could only serve as a calculator, Lind was still very excited.
He had specifically asked Mico about it, but the answer was disappointing. The logic behind the magic in Magic World tended to be subjective; computation was important, but "listening" was even more so.
Just like how Mico brewed Magic Potions through exhaustive methods, it seemed she was searching for the right formula balance, needing repeated trials. In reality, it involved a kind of "sensitivity," a force guiding her toward correctness during her numerous attempts.
The force that guided the witch was known as "Yuni’s Whisper."
It was like having a 1% chance of drawing the target out of a hundred options, and Mico clasping her hands together, shouting "Bless me," then always drawing the target no matter how.
Mico had shown him through her actions that in Magic World, one should think less of science.
After several attempts, Lind found that the Gold Badge still had many uses. Instead of wasting his brain cells, Lind thought of the undead.
[Logical Operational Rules]
[The lord is troubled by computational matters, taking up too much of his time. Use your intelligence to help the lord complete these computations]
[Reward: Star Dragon Ridge outpost may unlock new functions]
Decipher!
"This game is really tight," someone had already started to whisper.
"Just say if you’re playing or not."
"Well, if you put it that way, of course I’m playing. I’ve never been afraid of a challenge!"
Paper and pencils were distributed, then Lind stated his requirements.
He needed a computational system, able to calculate based on factual situations, unlock permissions, identify identities. Lind described what he needed, but the expressions on some of the undead’s faces gradually turned odd.
Base access levels on point ranking?
Bind points to faction honor?
Points shop system?
"Why does this sound like I’m the client?"
Someone was already thinking of flipping the table: "What kind of decryption is this? Isn’t this just pure coding?"
"It’s not typing code, it’s handwriting code."
"Then I can’t do it!"
If the code isn’t copied in large blocks, it has no soul.
Pure handwriting, being able to write "helloworld" fully is already a significant contribution from the English teacher.
"Wait, could this be the production team’s way of making us help with the game?"
"It shouldn’t be, this is the most terrifying game I’ve ever seen; they can’t possibly expect us to get involved with such minimal functionality."
"Wait, how do I start the first sentence?"
Some people were scratching their heads and sighing, others were scratching their heads while writing.
Lind also felt he had to give something back to the undead. After the first undead tried to write a segment, he took the paper and entered the rule into the Gold Badge.

The logic is simple, just make sure not to repeat.
The encryption game was in progress, but unfortunately, this task was challenging for players. Many undead could only scratch their heads and were unable to participate, only able to shout admiringly at the great players.
The programmers were writing furiously.
"Step back! I’m about to show off," someone in a plaid shirt shouted.
When daylight came, the first version of the points system finally went live, with Lind, holding a Gold Badge, recording the rules page by page.
In terms of operational logic, the balding men with plaid shirts excelled, and where was it not work? Coding in the game meant no worries about going bald.
In the early morning, Lian walked out of the blacksmith’s shop, her eyes full of resentment as she looked toward the administrative office.
She had waited until she fell asleep yesterday, but the man had not appeared.
Before, she wanted to maximize her advantages, but now she felt a bit defiant.
"Make way!" A Two-Headed Person carrying a tree passed by, crying, "Make way, ow!"
"What’s going on?"
"It’s updated!" Sydney’s Two-Headed brother crouched down, dug a big hole in the ground, and inserted the straight trunk of a dead tree into it.
Then he carried over some planks and used nails to construct a huge board.
The Two-Headed Person shouted at the top of his lungs, "Starting today, the Star Dragon Ridge outpost has updated the points system, and with a points system, there’s a points store! Come update your points daily, ow!"
"A points store?"
When the Two-Headed Person mentioned, "the points store can exchange for Lord’s fire-playing skills," all the undead perked up.
"Any other requirements?"
"Choosing the points system means joining our Star Dragon Ridge outpost. If you leave later, your points will be erased."
The Two-Headed Person fumbled a piece of paper out of his pocket, it seemed becoming a two-headed person had slowed his thinking speed, "Also, listen! Points can be exchanged for items at the points store, but it’s based on rating levels."
"Points cannot be transferred."
"Ways to obtain points are by completing tasks; some tasks give points, some tasks give Gold Coins, choose as you please."
"Attacking friendly NPCs results in a red name warrant penalty and also deducts points!"
"And, ow..."
"And!" The Two-Headed Person stowed the paper away, "Only those who received a Star Dragon Ridge outpost number can accept faction tasks. Those unwilling to take a number can still pick up tasks at the administrative office."
The emphasis at the end was completely redundant. Unless a better faction appeared immediately, their loyalty could definitely be trusted.
And when a better faction did appear, their disloyalty could definitely be trusted as well.
Sixty undead lined up to get their numbers, they could copy their points situation in front of the bulletin board themselves.
Currently, everyone started at zero, it was foreseeable they would go mad completing tasks for a while.
Lind felt the feedback that the Gold Badge gave him; the calculation for sixty people was not too great, but as the number of undead increased, relying solely on Lind’s power definitely wouldn’t sustain this consumption.
"Perhaps I could make a magic energy battery."
There was so much to do, it could only be done step by step.
For now, the points store was managed by Aluna, and as things slowly unlocked, like the nine soldiers under Lind, Mico, Lian, and even Renzo from afar, they could all manage a part of the points store functions with their own unique features.
The items currently available for exchange were "Clore’s Explosive Flame" and "Clore’s Rage," which nobody could afford. Everyone just looked for fun.
And after exchanging, one had to find Lind to learn as he would be the one teaching.
The launch of the points content had controlled the recklessness of players who spent a lot of money to some extent, but it was impossible to completely prevent it.
"Is anyone going to Dragon Tooth Mountain road?"
More important than the points was getting the Two-Headed People’s Magic Potion as soon as possible to break through to level 11.
While the undead were noisily discussing heading to Dragon Tooth Mountain path to clear the area, Lind was just about to have breakfast.
Lian kept staring at him with resentful eyes.
This woman, she’s still too full!
