Chapter 820: Monster Fight

Human beings live on this small planet, and naturally interact with the entire ecosystem.

The sun rises and the moon sets, wind, rain, thunder and lightning, floods and landslides, and plants and trees wither, each with its own law and does not conform to people's expectations. In the face of various natural phenomena, the ancient ancestors felt vulnerable and helpless, and could only worship them for comfort, and then developed the universal belief that "all things are animist". Through generations of word of mouth and detailed rendering, primitive myths and religions were born.

With the rise of monotheism and the perfection of natural science, animism gradually disappeared from modern thought, leaving only a few relics in East Asia, the most typical of which is Shintoism, the traditional religion of the island country in the east.

According to the ancient book "Ancient Records" of the country, all those who are called Jiawei are called Jiawei, starting from the gods seen in the classics, birds, beasts, plants, trees, mountains and seas, etc., and all those who are extraordinary are called Jiawei. It is not only called the excellent, the kind, and the meritorious. The wicked, the strange, and the terrible are called gods.

The sun, moon and stars, plants, trees, birds and beasts, good people and evil people can all be regarded as "gods" (kami, Kavi), so there is a saying that there are "eight million gods".

Although modern people do not really believe that mountains have spirits, trees and gods, and that all things are conscious, they will still be accustomed to the existence of similar thoughts and accept them more easily from childhood to adulthood. It is precisely because of this cultural and psychological foundation that Sadako, cyborgs, parasitic beasts, and Pikachu are born in this land, as well as countless strange creatures that can be cute, fierce or strange.

After the success of these works, the successive success of various follow-up works and official sequels shows the strength and commercial value of this psychological foundation.

"Monster Visit" is also a monster collection game that follows the trend of Pokemon, and even the latter's roaming and movie linkage mode has also learned a lot. Of course, animation and movies are still far away, and "Yokai Workshop" only has a thin manga for the time being, but fortunately, the content is quite good.

"Haha, the endurance of the leopard, the minions of the rabbit...... Seeing the highlights, Wu Pan couldn't help but stroking his palms and laughing.

The laughter attracted the attention of the surrounding stall owners, and Shen Mo hurriedly patted him to remind him of the occasion.

Closing his voice and making an apologetic gesture to everyone, Wu Pan pointed to the page in the comic book where You introduced his abilities, and whispered the second half of the sentence: "This 'You' is definitely a tease invited by the monkey!

"Huh?" Turning the page, he suddenly said suspiciously: "It doesn't seem to be completely useless, his combat power is a bit scum, but he can control other monsters, which is still indispensable." ”

Shen Mo Yiyan looked over and found that this page was about a cricket demon attacking Che's house at night, and was held by Ah Che with an iron basin, and then You, who had a pig's nose and bear eyes and a slender body, stood up and said that although his demon power was not one in a hundred, the aura of being a super demon back then was still there, and he could help Che subdue other monsters.

After reading the two pages, he said: "It's normal, "Monster Visit" still has a game, and it's a monster collection game that imitates pokemonGO. So you must give the collection system a carrier.,PM is a Poké Ball.,Demon Visit is You's aura.。 ”

"More than that," Wu Pan reacted, "You is still the funny person in charge of the comics, and then the protagonist Sasaki Che is the hot-blooded person, the pastoral cat Xiaobai is the person in charge of selling cuteness, and then there is a high-value heroine." ”

While flipping through the book quickly, trying to find the picture of the heroine's appearance, he said: "The heroine should also be a freshman in secondary school, and the visual inspection should be a round-faced flat little Lori." ”

"You can't find it, there is no heroine in this story," Shen Mo picked up the disc envelope on the table and shook it, "See, a person, a cat, many demons, there is no place for the heroine." ”

Wu Pan didn't give up easily, and insisted on finishing the whole comic, but he really didn't find the expected heroine.

The book tells five short stories in chronological order, with only the first stanza showing the streets and the thrift shop, and the other four taking place in Ache's home. During this period, there were occasional appearances of other classmates, neighbors, relatives and friends, but they were just daily interactions and did not participate in the "Home Defense Battle".

After reading the comics, Wu Pan put his eyes on the disc cover and sighed: "Oh, I have grass planted in my heart, what should I do?"

Shen Mo didn't speak, reached out and turned the paper shell over, and knocked his fingers twice on the QR code.

The former suddenly felt bad, took out his mobile phone depressedly, and complained while opening the code scanning app: "Really, you can scan the code to download, why do you still get a CD?

Scan the code to open the official website of the game, with a promotional video and a background introduction on it, and of course, APK, BPP download links are indispensable. Although it is only an indie game made by enthusiasts, the production team still takes care of the three major platforms quite carefully.

The game was downloaded quickly, and the installation was also smooth, Wu Pan found that the game still supports Chinese and English, and he also gave a thumbs up to the production team.

"It's normal to support Chinese, I seem to have told you that the makers are all international students from China," Shen Mo said and took out a card from the disc sleeve and threw it to the other party, "Game activation code." This is also the advantage of the physical version, and if you don't want to play, you can also lose the second-hand store. ”

Entering the game, Wu Pan found that it was indeed an AR game that followed the trend of PMgo as Shen Mo said.

However, the production team did not rigidly copy the players to go outside to catch demons, but put the game scene in the home that the player is most familiar with, and those monsters are also common animals and plants and furniture in life, deducing their own unique gameplay. All the player has to do is patrol the house, find the various monsters that sneak in, defeat them, and turn them into their own combat power.

In this respect, this game has a similar principle to their Super Perspective, which is to pull real objects into the game by scanning and identification. The difference is that "Super Transparent" presets complete character clothing resources, and then intelligently matches them according to the comic pattern, while "Demon Visit" presets a 3D model, and the texture map is directly extracted from real items, so the monsters look a little rough, and the action will break the skin.

However, considering that the production team is only an amateur team, such a result is not unacceptable. And the realistic style of painting brought by this realistic texture is not useless, and when paired with the attack action that conforms to the physical structure, it can bring a different kind of joy to the game.

The only problem is that he is now at the exhibition site, surrounded by people, there are no flowers and animals at all, and there are few furniture and utensils, so the result is naturally that there are not enough types of monsters, and he only finds the water cup demon, the folding chair demon and the screen demon, and then Wu Pan is tragic. The protagonist is defeated, Yu is also captured, and the game directly fails.

Looking at the miserable little white cat on the screen, Wu Pan couldn't help but squirt angrily, "Hold the grass! This difficulty design is too weird, right?"

Shen Mo didn't answer, the other party was in the middle of a battle with the tie demon, and he didn't care about talking at all.

Noticing the other party's abnormality, Wu Pan stretched out his head to look at it, and then immediately patted his head in annoyance and restarted the game.

This time, he deliberately focused the camera on objects that he had overlooked, such as thumbtacks, posters, comic books, etc., and sure enough, he succeeded in finding the weaker demon, and after defeating and subduing it, he finally snowballed.

Unlike the turn-based PM, where you can only play one pet at a time, "Youmi" uses real-time battles, and the combat style is more like a group fight, and it is a real youkai fight. In order to control the balance of the game, when the player's troops are expanded, the hostile monsters will change from infiltration to strong attack, and the number of stronger monsters will also increase, which will also make the battle scene more and more intense and chaotic.

The only thing that can hinder the progress of the game is the graphics performance of the smartphone. In the later stage, the sky and the earth are full of active monsters, the burden on the graphics processor is quite large, and the fever will be more serious, the system will prompt the player to control the scale of the force, and put some miscellaneous fish and demons on the second line to clean up, cook and grow vegetables.

It's worth mentioning that this tip is mainly for Android phones. Due to system fragmentation and hardware differentiation, the Android version cannot give full play to the hardware performance, and bottlenecks are easy to occur. In contrast, the situation of the bee mobile phone is much better, this game is made using the bee BGK game development kit, and it itself supports the bee system/bee heart chip, which can give full play to the performance advantages of the ingredients.

In particular, Wu Pan and the others are still using the current flagship model BP7, and there is no pressure to deal with this game, and the frame loss has never appeared, although the back cover is hot, it is not very hot, so that the two bosses are so cool that they can't stop at all. When someone comes to ask for a giveaway, they also stuff the card into the other party's hand as quickly as possible to send it away, and then continue to bury their heads in the fight.

The album that occupies the most space is sold out, and there are still a lot of "super transparent" limited free trial cards made in advance. Fortunately, the cost of this thing is very low and the volume is not large, even if you can't send it out and smash it, you won't be too distressed.

In the end, Shen Mo reacted first, put down his phone and opened his mouth to ask, "Where's Kraven? Why hasn't he come back yet?"

"Huh?" Wu Pan was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that the two of them had really forgotten about this child, and immediately said urgently: "It can't be lost, should we call 110 to report the loss?"

When telephone numbers appear, telephones use dial pad pulse calling technology, 1 is a pulse, 0 is 10 pulses, in order to facilitate easy memory and avoid children dialing indiscriminately, most countries use a combination of long and short (such as 911) or short (such as 110, 119) three-digit numbers as emergency calls. Later, with the dual-tone multi-frequency (button) dialing technology, in order to facilitate the cross-spring dialing in an emergency, 112 and 122 became the new favorites of emergency numbers.

After the chicken family chose 110/119 as the unified bandit/fire police number, the rabbit family chose to follow suit for similar reasons. After all, it is common for people to learn from each other, just as the former moved back and translated Western scientific works translated by the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau into Japanese, and then was moved back into Chinese.

In another exhibition hall, Clavenbell was chatting with someone, the mobile phone in his pocket suddenly vibrate, took it out and connected it, and Shen Mo's voice came: "Hey, man, where are you?"

The brown-haired boy glanced at the time on his phone and said embarrassedly, "Ah, I'm sorry, I'm still in line, do you need me to go back now?"

The other side replied: "That's not necessary, the album has been sold out." Come back if you have time, or wait until you get back to your hotel. ”

"Oh, I'm in the Enterprise Zone, and I won't be able to go back in a while, so I'll have a gift later." ”

Seeing him hang up the phone, the black-haired man in front of him continued to speak, "I just don't know if the elf egg can be linked to other games, if it can't, it would be a pity." ”

After a period of life, Kraven has become accustomed to the stiff and strange English accent of the locals, and now slowed down and said: "Don't worry, even if you can't link with the third party, they will keep the import interface, which is the practice of bees." ”

This is the booth of the Bee Hinata Branch, in addition to displaying the figurines, pillows, badges and other peripheral products of the Bee Game, there is also a new product, the FairyEgg elf egg, which Kraven and his people were attracted to.

The Egg was originally a prototype of the envisioned AI phone, and the designers intended to abandon the bloated and fragile straight screen and instead use a special tube-shaped screen egg-shaped appearance to carry the VPC, as the body of the intelligent assistant, with the help of voice and a small amount of touch to achieve interaction.

However, the feedback from the prototype was not satisfactory, and this radical plan was eventually abandoned, and the relevant technical heritage was absorbed by other project teams. The Brain1M chip and VPC virtual assistant have become the exclusive selling points of the two new B1/ASE machines.

Then the remaining shell was taken by the surrounding designers and made it into a universal gacha toy, which still retains the name of the elf egg as a commemoration.

Gacha is a small toy packed in a transparent eggshell, which is sold randomly in a capsule toy machine, which was originally just a bonus for promotion, but it has been carried forward by manufacturers in island countries and has become a small money maker who makes thousands of otaku want to stop.

In order to stimulate consumption, the production quality of the gacha is getting higher and higher, more and more exquisite, which stimulates people's adventurous hearts with small and broad ideas, but in the end, they lose to their own obsessive-compulsive disorder, and spend crazy in order to collect a complete set of gacha.

The Bee Egg is a new product that combines the beautiful, random characteristics of gacha with the portable characteristics of an animatronic pet.

The new Elf Egg is an egg-sized resin ball covered with a scratch-resistant coating that ensures it won't be scratched by your fingernails. Inside it is a special cylindrical transparent OLED screen that optically hides the seams and looks like a complete screen.

The best thing about the elf egg is the specially developed analog holographic display technology. With the help of gaze-tracking technology, the system is able to calculate the player's gaze and arrange the content on the screen, giving the user the illusion of a stereoscopic holographic display.

However, the response speed of the tracking system is not fast enough, and the user's blink and shake will cause the picture to be misplaced and affect the perception, which is not suitable for handheld devices at all. It's much better if it's used as a gacha toy, after all, these little things end up on the shelf.
