Yang Pingfan didn't care, eating roast goose and dry fried beef river, the white-cut chicken on the chopsticks was dipped in a rich sauce and stuffed into his mouth, and the white rice was served.

Oria just moved a little, she obviously had eaten Chinese food, and the chopsticks were used well, Si Swenwen finished eating, Yang Pingfan picked up the toilet paper cut into short pieces on the table and tore a section and handed it over, Oria hurriedly waved her hand: "It's disgusting, wipe your mouth with such dirty paper, I have tissues." ”

said that he took out the wet wipes in his bag, pulled one out, and helped Yang Pingfan wipe his mouth, his eyebrows and eyes were full of indescribable tenderness and sweetness.

"Where are we going?" asked Yang Pingfan.

"Go where you need to go. ”

Oria said, looking at the raindrops of petals on the car window.

——

Back at the assembly site, everyone gathered around and asked Yang Pingfan about his gains, Yang Pingfan's expression was solemn, "The other party is not as stupid as it seems on the surface, the game still has to participate, but you have to do a good job of plan B." ”

The challenge mode is held once every six months, the schedule is live, and viewers who do not participate can get a first-person perspective by wearing VR glasses, and the viewing is free, of course, as an ancestral skill, free means that advertising is essential.

In addition, the audience can also bet on the players they support, and the event party will distribute 10% of the bet amount to the players who are betting, so the final prize is only a small head, for the popular players, as long as the performance is good enough, the share of the betting amount alone is astronomical, and it is nothing to be a lifetime free member.

Generous rewards also mean that in order to attract more bets, players must make themselves stronger, more bizarre, more attractive and watchable, and more likely to keep the viewer's attention on themselves and believe that they are the ultimate winners, and this rule also means that the competitive intensity of the challenge mode will go straight to the hell difficulty level.

At the ** place, Zhang Xiaoming gave everyone the rules of popular science, "The challenge mode is divided into three levels, the first level is the rapid hurricane, the contestants will circle the equator for a week, and the one who reaches the finish line within the specified time is considered to have successfully broken through." ”

Yang Pingfan disagreed, "Isn't it just drag racing, I'm good at this." ”

Li Lan was beside him, with a relative, "If it's just drag racing, then there's nothing to look at, this track, in addition to a variety of highly realistic natural environments, all kinds of famous monsters in film and television literature works in history will appear, in addition to these, hum, in order to attract the audience to throw chips on themselves, the contestants must prove that they have the value of winning the championship in front of the audience, the most effective way is to press the competitors to the ground and rub, the cooler the friction method, the more eye-catching." ”

Yang Pingfan suddenly realized, "I understand, in addition to fighting with NPCs, I also have to fight with competitors, it's exciting enough, I like it." ”

In the real world, this is the first classical sports car with EFI engine as standard, and at the same time the application of Bosch oil injection, the pair of "European wings" doors are also unique, full of classical costume color, and it also has a wide range of customized options, including 3 available suspension systems and individual customized paint, so that it is full of pulling colors, and Li Lan is used as a co-pilot.

On the other hand, Zhang Xiaoming chose a jackal solo fighter, at first Yang Pingfan thought that Zhang Xiaoming was full of bells and whistles, but it was not until he found that he was still too young.

Said good racing competition, but the normal shape of the car on the scene is a minority, because the track is very humane design including the sea, land and air mode of the three-channel mode, which track can go to the end, and even the channel, so all kinds of magic modified tanks, armored vehicles, tractors, airplanes, spaceships, motorcycles, all kinds of strange-shaped ships, assault vehicles and even excavators are available, Yang Pingfan even saw a very familiar red hovercraft, after some thought, he found out that it was from Jackie Chan's "Red Fan Zone" The cos came out and truly achieved a complete range of land, sea and air.

Team Loras also appeared, their tools being a fighter plane resembling an F22, a red-and-blue Peterbilt 389 tractor truck, and a prism tank that came out of Red Police, with the exception of Oria.

The two sides looked at each other and smiled, and everything was silent.

A cannon sounded, the game officially began, and the Loras team rushed out first, the Prism tank had a speed that did not match its own body size, and it actually caught up with the speed of the fighter, and the two went up and down, escorting the Peterbilt truck forward.

For the sake of safety, Yang Pingfan's team did not choose to join the first group at the initial stage, but followed the large army, the first quarter of it was a variety of extreme natural weather, which tested the adaptability of the contestants, purely to spell hardware, after eliminating some of the contestants who joined in the fun, Zhang Xiaoming's voice came from the earphones: "Attention, let's start the main dish next, welcome to Jurassic." ”

As soon as Zhang Xiaoming's voice fell, accompanied by a melodious long chant, a group of pterosaurs that appeared out of thin air rushed into the team, the pterosaurs were fierce and furious, indiscriminate attacks on the contestants, flexible bodies and sharp claw blades, all of which were big killers, only to see that the team was in chaos, all kinds of explosions and fires rose into the air, thick smoke was billowing, and the participating teams were suddenly in chaos.

Yang Pingfan played this for the first time, and couldn't help but gasp, "Hey, this is too exciting." ”

But Zhang Xiaoming howled in the earphones, and the jackal fighter turned a corner and rushed straight to the center of the battlefield where the fighting was fiercest.

Yang Pingfan was stunned, "What is he going to do?"

Li Lan pouted, "The tools and characters that are destroyed here will drop gold coins and equipment, just like the previous online games, whoever picks it up counts, these all need real money in the real world or krypton gold or complete various tasks in the brain network, the reason why the prizes are rich but there is no national participation, it is precisely this reason, after all, hard work and pay N more energy and money, once it is hit hard, it is to return to the tabula rasa all of a sudden, not everyone can afford to play." ”

As he spoke, the team also began to fight back, all kinds of weapons drew a dazzling trajectory in the air, a high-explosive bomb on this side emptied a piece, and a laser cannon on that side pierced the pterodactyl group, and all kinds of weapons turned into a large net in the air, surging back and forth, quickly eliminating the pterodactyl group.

Yang Pingfan's sports car was mixed in the large army, relying on a flexible attitude, without losing a single hair to break through the first level, after driving smoothly for a distance, the track gradually blurred in front, the fog was filled, more and more dense, and the visibility quickly decreased to 0, Yang Pingfan switched to radar mode, relying on radar wave navigation to move forward, Li Lan reminded him, by the way, the infrared mode was started, as a backup.

The second wave of excitement is coming!

Suzaku, the headquarters of Company X, Liu Yuan is also quietly watching this game.

As the producer of this game, which has been hailed as the most successful game in history, Liu Yuan has all the gifts of the electronic age, but he always feels that there is something missing.

He switched the perspectives of the game participants at will, and with metaphysical distress, his mind was pulled back to that sunny afternoon twenty or thirty years ago.

That day, the electric fan squeaked and turned behind his head, and he and Ah Mao next door were frantically shuttling through the 8-bit pixel version of the rain of bullets.

"I'll go out to clear the troops, and you squat at the base to defend. ”

With the unique recklessness of the twentieth century, Liu Yuan broke into the door of the game world in this way.

Liu Yuan's father was a returned scientist in the fifties of the last century, and later was treated unfairly because of his identity, and after recovering his reputation in the 80s, he married a wife, grew old and had children, and died before he had time to enjoy the joy of family, leaving only orphans and widows.

His father's overseas connections left a lot of assets for his family, so Liu Yuan was able to live a comfortable childhood as a child.

Deng Gong's sentence, "The popularization of computers should start from the baby", in the following ten years, "everyone understands computers, everyone can play computers" has become the basic program, and in classrooms across the country, computers have been popularized from 0 to more than 2 million.

Taking advantage of this trend, an electronic device that is said to be able to "develop the intelligence of teenagers" has also quietly entered the door of the Ming Kingdom - that is, the Nintendo game console, Family Computer (abbreviated as FC), which was born in Toei in 1983.

This sudden culture shock has undoubtedly hit the hearts of thousands of children and teenagers, after all, most of the red scarves have never touched the electronic screen before, and the entertainment is nothing more than hopscotch and kneading mud.

However, the problem was that the main contradiction in society at that time was the contradiction between the growing material and cultural needs and the backward social productive forces, a genuine red and white machine cost 1,500 yuan, a game cassette cost more than 200 yuan, and working families may not be able to afford not eating or drinking for more than half a year.

High tariffs, difficult channels, and the growing desire of children and teenagers to buy have made domestic piracy manufacturers see business opportunities.

Everyone has launched a dimensionality reduction crackdown, with FC red and white machines as the object of plagiarism, and started the first battle of bad money to drive out good money since the reform and opening up.

In the early 90s, the cottage territory roughly formed a three-legged "Xiaolintong" with multiple generations of products, and then the "little genius" produced by Baodao manufacturers, but it was the small overlord from the Pearl River Delta who really established the dominance of the cottage.

In June 1991, the "Xiaobawang" game console was born, and the red and white machine was redefined with a price of about 300 yuan.

Trying to find the original prototype in FC and Xiaobawang was once more difficult than it is to inspect fake shoes now.

In the following three years, Xiaobawang went through a round of upgrading, equipped the game console with an external keyboard and learning cards, and created the first and second generation of Xiaobawang learning machines, which directly hit the parenting pain point of "not knowing a computer is illiterate".

The advanced Xiaobawang has added "Wubi Learning", "F-BASIC" and other learning columns.

In order to make Xiaobawang learning machine popular, in 1994, the company invited the then kung fu superstar Jackie Chen as the spokesperson, and carried out a fierce advertising bombardment of 200 million teenagers in the prime time of CCTV:

I think I used my fists to fight the world back then

This is the age of computers

My son wants to use the little overlord to fight the world

The same is true of the hearts of parents in the world

Wangzi Jackie Chan is a little overlord

After sacrificing this ruthless trick, the advertising slogan of "learn to type for three days" resounded all over the land of China, and Xiaobawang also took off completely and sold all over the country.

In order to be in line with the E era, Chinese children are all motivated, and begging their parents to get one under the banner of learning Wubi and learning foreign languages.

The adults who want Jackie Chan mistakenly think that it is not far from catching up with the Premier League and the United States, and they have taken out their wallets to show unprecedented purchasing power.

Liu Yuan also begged his mother to buy him one.

With this learning cassette, his blind typing and five-stroke font have improved by leaps and bounds, and he even started his programming career using the built-in G-BASIC language.

"I spent an afternoon typing a Mario interface in basic for someone else's printed code. ”

But the learning machine is another feature that can be more appealing than learning.

In front of Xiaobawang, Liu Yuan didn't know how to restrain himself at all, and as soon as he got out of school, he rushed home, inserted a-yellow game card, and exiled himself to a spiritual world made of 8-bit pixels.

The first is the copycat version of "Super Mario Bros.", this plumber who drills sewers, steps on the king, moves bricks, and eats gold coins has a simple ideal in life: to save the princess.

The most popular stunt was the double jump, and once a person in the class learned this skill, he would immediately be honored as a teacher, and he would teach from door to door, so that the double jump skill would benefit the entire elementary school.

Although there are few people who can pass the customs in the end, and many hidden entrances are gradually forgotten, Liu Yuan vaguely remembers the feeling of residual dreams in the long river of time:

"He will grow after eating mushrooms, but after a critical hit, he will become smaller, and this kind of loss is quite unforgettable. ”

Mario, as great as he is, is not as attractive as Contra, which has a sudden burst of machine guns.

In "Contra", Liu Yuan experienced for the first time the sour setting that you can shoot in all directions, and the virtual pleasure of flexibly shuttling through the rain of bullets, and it was probably in "Contra" that he met the earliest pig teammate in his life.

To this day, Liu Yuan still remembers the mysterious code of "up and down, left and right, left and right", but he has never experienced the surprise of calling up 30 lives.

"Tank Wars" can also be regarded as an enlightenment work, and the most impressive thing is the string of electronic music at the beginning, "Oooo

It is the first doubles game played by Liu Yuan, and it is also the first game that can be played with good brothers who fight side by side until friendship.

- Because not only can it deal damage to its teammates, but even its base can be destroyed by itself, and it will often strafe each other in order to grab dropped items.

Although the early games had high pixels, the plot was not elegant, and the martial arts special effects were a little sloppy, this did not prevent Liu Yuan from devoting himself to the arduous battle.

In order to penetrate a game, he forgot to sleep and eat, looked through the autumn water, and used the muscle memory forged by time to destroy one enemy after another and defeat one opponent after another.

Ignorance is all recklessness.

Many years later, Liu Yuan still clearly remembers the distant afternoon when he first saw the red and white machine.

Plugging an RF cable into the TV, the sound of "Little Overlord is having fun" drilled into his ears from the time he pressed the switch to the time he brought up the game screen.

At that moment, Liu Yuan's heartbeat accelerated, his blood circulated, and then he took the handle and fell into the abyss from then on, which was really an adrenaline-pumping operation.

Liu Yuan still remembers how those friends around him who don't have enough money can operate the game.

Hardworking friends will quietly take advantage of their mother's soy sauce and buy a new cassette in less than three days.

With limited financial resources, I can only ride a bicycle and knock on the door of my uncle's house, and I will play all night, regardless of whether people want to live as a husband and wife.

Game cartridges are the hard currency of primary school.

After all, there are learning machines and friends, which was the iron law of social interaction at that time.

A smile appeared on the corner of Liu Yuan's mouth, thinking that at the beginning, in order to reward him for being the first in the final exam, his mother bought Xiaobawang for 240 yuan, and also brought a lifetime warranty.

Since then, his classmates have surrounded his house every night, and in less than a month, he touched the cross button and AB button on the handle.

"Games are made for fun. ”

Liu Yuan sighed, and his gaze returned to reality.

Li Lan stared intently at the composite display, suddenly a point of light, from the edge of the screen quickly moved to the center, real-time data showed that this is a huge, extremely fast monster, Li Lan issued a warning, Yang Pingfan held his breath, switched to flight mode, suddenly stepped on the brakes, and at the same time raised the steering wheel, the front of the sports car was raised to 110 degrees ~ 120 degrees, forming a short tail in front, the front of the car in the back of the level flight state, and then the push rod pressed the front of the car, and then returned to the original horizontal state.

This is a cobra maneuver that only a fighter has, Yang Pingfan acted as if nothing happened, followed by a foot to step on the accelerator to the end, and the sports car soared into the sky, and it was worth grazing the light and passing over.

At such a close distance, the naked eye could see that an endless gray wall appeared in their original direction.

Yang Pingfan couldn't help but shout, "Oh my God, what is that?"

The monster revealed its true body, so large that it was impossible to see its whole body with the naked eye, and the shape of a fish was outlined on the radar screen based on the reflected waves.

"There is a sea in the north of the end of the north, Tianchi also, there are fish Yan, its width is thousands of miles, its long is called Yan, its name is Kun", this is the legendary Kun!

The car of the two was rising rapidly against the skin of the kun, and the distance was so close that it seemed that the fish body could be touched by opening the car window, if it weren't for Yang Pingfan's quick reaction, the two would have collided headlong into a pile of scattered coins.

The other contestants who didn't have Yang Pingfan's reaction speed were not so lucky, and all kinds of lights on Da Kun's body came and went, and dark clouds bloomed one after another, which was the fire from the explosion of the unresponsive vehicle hitting Kun's body.

The Kun suddenly appeared, and after ascending for a while, it stopped, Yang Pingfan immediately turned, and the sports car quickly passed over the Kun's body, looking down from above, the Kun's back was boundless, reminding the two of them of the Cthulhu troll who had taken them on a time-travel before.

Kunkun's second wave of offensive is coming!
