Chapter 813: Falling Experience
"Ahh
"Help!" followed by a frightened cry for help, which was also quickly interrupted at the beginning.
"Huh," someone laughed and sarcastically, "isn't it just a game, as for crying dad and calling mom like this?"
It was Qi Linlin, who was not emotionally stable recently, who was wearing a white T-shirt, pink hakama, white brimmed hat and pink sneakers on her head, dressed like a tennis girl, but there was no trace of a racket in her hands.
There were also two men and a woman beside her, it was Shen Mo and the three, who were also wearing light sportswear at the moment, which was the clothing provided by the store.
The rest of the commemorative albums have been sent, and they went to Disneyland to play all day, and when they came back, they received an invitation letter sent by Assistant Zhu. It turned out that the space station chain of Bee had a new store opened today, and colleagues from all walks of life were invited to witness it.
After the ribbon cutting, Boss Ma disappeared, along with local political and business celebrities and garrison leaders who attended the event. But Shen Mo and the others stayed, intending to earn back the money from the flower basket they sent out.
Hearing his girlfriend's words, Wu Pan, who was busy mending the relationship, hurriedly picked up and said mockingly: "There is a pro-army day event today, and this place is not open to the public, so it should be all army soldiers." But they're too intimidating, aren't they? Or are they not going to be able to do this time?"
"What's so strange about that?" Shen Mo hugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Many soldiers enlist in the army after graduating from high school, young at seventeen or eighteen, no matter how fierce the firepower of the melting pot of the army is, it is still difficult to change people's personality and habits in a short period of time!"
"That's it," Wu Panshen nodded sympathetically, "I heard that there are many people who become deserters because they can't endure hardships, this is really not as good as a stubble!"
Hearing him say this, Shen Mo showed a smile that had succeeded in his treacherous scheme, "That's that, at least our Brother Pan will definitely not be so mischievous, right?"
He said it so deliberately, and the latter naturally heard that it was wrong, but at this moment he was on the verge of riding a tiger, so he naturally didn't dare to shrink his eggs and admit defeat, so he had to bite the bullet and say: "Of course!"
"Uh-huh!" Shen belly black hit the railroad while it was hot: "Brother Pan, you must give those young people some colors to see, let them know what ginger is old and spicy!"
"Mmmm," Wu Pan nodded yes, but his expression was a little bitter.
With trepidation, he turned around the corner with heavy steps, and then saw where the screams were coming from.
In front of him appeared a colorful climbing wall of about 5 meters by 16 meters, on which four men in camouflage vests and strange helmets were hanging and trying to climb.
After seeing the shape of the target, the corners of Wu Pan's mouth relaxed, and he said with a relaxed tone: "What else should I be, isn't it just an artificial climbing wall, what's the big deal?"
The climbing wall is a fairly popular sports aid that consists of a bracket, a rock slab, and a climbing fulcrum that simulates a crag for climbing training. It can be used to hone the will, but also to exercise the guts and limbs, and the reality show loves the screams it creates.
But soon, Wu Pan couldn't laugh anymore, because the climbing wall in front of him was a little different.
On the surface, the wall is not too high, and the colorful slabs also have the flavor of a children's climbing wall, which does not seem to be very difficult.
The problem, however, is that the mosaic slab is not stationary, it is turning downward like an electric roller ladder, slowly but firmly. In this way, the climber's upward speed is canceled out, and the actual height remains the same, and the "cliff top" a meter away seems to be within reach, but it is never reached.
These people did not have a safety rope attached to them, and they relied entirely on the strength of their hands and feet to get up. None of them can stop until the machine is stopped. Otherwise, when the rock slab turns to the bottom, the original fulcrum will automatically retract, and the hands and feet will lose support and can only fall down, which is how the sad screams of those who heard it came.
The ground is covered with a thick cushion, and the loser is perfectly protected. This is also the reason why those screaming for help are only half the way, and when their backs hit the cushions and they realize that they are safe, people are of course embarrassed to howl any more.
"Okay, right?" Shen Mo's voice sounded in his ears, interrupting his reverie, "Go over there, your equipment is beckoning!"
"What are you afraid of, go up!" When the matter came, Wu Pan could only bite the bullet, and at the same time kept cheering himself in his heart: "Anyway, you can't fall to death, ho are afraid of ho?"
With a bit of sadness, he ran to the registration office to receive a set of special equipment, a mountaineering belt, elbow and knee pads, sensory hiking shoes, tactile gloves, and a modified VR helmet. instructed him to adjust his seat belt and put on his helmet, and especially told him to close his mouth and be careful to bite his tongue, and the coach flashed away.
Soon, the picture in front of Wu Pan's eyes changed, and a man with long brown hair appeared and greeted him in English, "Hi, IamAlexHonnold,......"
Seeing her boyfriend walking towards the practice area and now learning rock climbing skills, Qi Linlin withdrew her eyes from him and began to look at the room. Seeing the humanoid display board on the wall and the advertising slogan "Challenge the peak with me!", she couldn't help asking, "Who is this person?"
Sun Yan shook his head, and Shen Mo answered, "He, but he is a new god who has emerged from the school withdrawal party in recent years." ”
American man Alex Honnold grew up climbing trees, was sent by his parents to practice rock climbing at the age of 11 and eventually fell in love with the sport. At the age of 19, he dropped out of the prestigious University of California, Berkeley, became a professional rock climber, and within ten years became the world's greatest freehand climber.
FreeSolo emphasizes that in addition to shoes and non-slip magnesium powder, without any protective gear, the sport brings an unprecedented sense of conquest, but also contains very great dangers, and many famous masters die in the process of challenging the next peak.
And the most powerful thing about this one is "ten years of death, still not dead", fans are not only amazed by his legendary experience of continuous breakthroughs, but also sweat for his behavior, so that typing his name, search engines will associate "Is Honnold dead?"
Regardless of the industry, people at the top of the world are bound to become the darlings of the media and businesses, and Honnold is no exception, with businesses from outdoor goods, RVs, insurance, banks, cameras, and everything to work with him. However, he donated most of his income to help the poor improve their lives, while he himself traveled the world in his RV in search of the next peak.
He was then approached by Bee Games, and the two collaborated to create this augmented reality virtual reality game called HonnoldsNextPeak.
In addition to the highly-restored climbing rocks in the headset, the game is also equipped with a special intelligent rock wall, on which the fulcrum can be automatically retracted and has a variety of styles, different fulcrum combinations correspond to different rock painting surfaces, and cooperate with each other to restore the thrill and excitement of climbing the peak to the greatest extent.
Of course, the main thing is security, not only is it very safe, but the game also has a life-saving function. Although the taste of falling is short-lived, it can also dispel many unrealistic delusions, thus playing a role in stopping death.
Falling backwards and being caught safely may seem the same as the classic team-building game "Trust Back Fall", but the two give players the opposite feeling. Trust Back Fall strengthens the sense of trust between people through the "ready" Q&A, and the final undertaking, but HNP uses the fulcrum of sudden failure, the simulated picture, and the vain air cushion to strengthen the fear of accidental loss of control, and tries to challenge the upper limit of the player's guts, and finally brings the player a sense of happiness for the rest of his life, hoping to make more people cherish life and stay away from death.
As for whether the player will have a rebellious psychology after the experience, fall in love with the game like falling in love with bungee jumping or even real freehand rock climbing, it is not up to Bee You to decide. At least on the surface, their argument is logical and rigorous, and it was with it that Honnold was impressed in the first place.
In the eyes of outsiders, he is completely dying in rock climbing with his bare hands, but in fact, the secret of his success is seriousness and concentration. Once he has set his goal, he spends a long time preparing to build his muscles, store his physical strength, and check the route and clear the debris while wearing a rope before actually starting the climb.
These things are well restored in the game, and players need to complete them one by one before they can start tweaking the famous cliffs such as ElCapitan Chieftain Rock and ElToro Bull Mountain.
After introducing the deeds of this great god, Shen Mo looked at the two girls, "How about it?"
Sun Yan glanced at him, "If you want to die, I'm not interested." ”
"Yes, why don't you go?" Qi Linlin pointed to Wu Pan, who was training in rock climbing next to him, "My family Panpan always said that you two are good brothers and good friends, do you just watch him climb alone?"
The slabs of the Smart Wall do not move in one piece, but are stacked independently of each other every 50 cm, which can better accommodate multiple players to climb at the same time.
The two girls were not interested, Shen Mo was not surprised, this game was too professional, and it was very attractive to those extreme sports enthusiasts, but it was nothing to ordinary people.
And he himself is also an ordinary person, so naturally he doesn't care much about it. Qi Linlin's provocative words didn't play their due role, Shen Mo shook his head with a smile: "No, this game is too professional, it's a little troublesome to get started, let's go and see the project over there." ”
The two girls walked to a game facility called "Selfie Master", a half-meter low platform surrounded by inflatable mattresses and enclosed by an inflatable fence. The gameplay is very simple, the player stands on the table, poses for a selfie with the model machine in his hand, one point at a time, thrilling extra points, and loses if he falls.
After reading the introduction of the rules, Sun Xiang immediately noticed the game designer's malice towards the selfie behavior, and couldn't help complaining: "What kind of selfie master is this?
"Hehe, 'selfie is fiercer than a shark', it's normal," Shen Mo said with a smile.
Qi Linlin questioned: "If I remember correctly, sharks seem to rarely attack humans, right? ”
"The beaches have shark nets, and most of the sharks have been turned into shark fin vermicelli soup, which naturally does not threaten humans. ”
"I heard that the numbers are starting to rise, and they are greatly benefactors of sharks around the world. ”
"Don't talk about this," Shen Mo picked up the model machine and said, "This game is quite simple, I'm going to try it, what about you?"
The two women waved in unison: "You go first, you go first!"
Shen Mo didn't care, received the headset from the staff, changed into disposable shoes, and then walked up to the low platform through the air cushion.
Soon he began to take selfies with his camera, wearing an eye patch and holding a model in his hand, and the scene looked a little weird.
Sun Yan and Qi Linlin glanced at each other, took out their mobile phones and filmed this scene.
"Ahh
Seeing her boyfriend lying on the ground for a long time and not getting up, Sun Yan suddenly became anxious, and while calling his name, he was about to throw himself inside.
However, she was stopped by the staff next to her, who was surprised and said, "Don't worry, classmate, he's fine." ”
In order to strengthen the convincing, he pointed to the monitor next to him, "Look there, the vital signs are in the normal range, the heartbeat and blood pressure were a little high just now, and now they are dropping." ”
The headsets used here are equipped with health monitoring functions that can measure heartbeat, blood pressure, and breathing, which can not only increase the safety factor, but also collect usage data along the way.
Sun Yan still believes in science, and the content of the screen makes her feel at ease and wait for the guy to climb out on his own.
Shen Mo didn't let her wait long, and quickly sat up. However, he did not come out immediately, but picked up the model machine and stood on the platform again.
In less than a minute, he screamed again and fell, then quickly got up and continued to walk to the platform.
"Hey, Tiantian, your steamed bun seems to be stupid. ”
"You're stupid!" It was not Sun Yan who answered her, but Shen Mo who took off his headset. As soon as he took off his headset, he heard someone laughing at him, and of course he fought back as soon as possible.
After thinking about it, he explained: "I was curious about the principle of this platform just now, so I deliberately tried it a few more times. I have to say, this game is still quite interesting, and it is worth recommending. Would you like to try it?"
Qi Linlin waved her hand and refused, "Who knows if you're cheating on me?"
Sun Yan didn't suspect him, turned around and walked to the equipment distribution staff, and soon she fell off the stage screaming.
"How about it? I didn't lie to you, did I?" Shen Mo immediately sought verification.
His girlfriend threw him a pair of hygienic eyes and pointed sideways at the table, "Why didn't you remind me?"
"It's boring to be reminded. ”
"Yes," Sun Yu nodded.
Qi Linlin wondered, "What are you fighting dumb fans?"
Sun Yan didn't answer, but urged: "Sister Lin, try it too, it's very exciting and interesting!"
