Chapter 197: Local Specialties

Walking out of the airport passage, Atletico Madrid soon saw the old classmates in the crowd who had not seen him for a long time, and shouted at just the right volume: "Hey!

Hearing his shout, Wei Wei patted Qi Conghui, who was still a little stunned beside him, and greeted him.

After greeting and hugging, the four of them pushed two suitcases back and forth and walked out together.

"Old Ma, don't you think you're ashamed of Sanqin's father, brothers and sisters?" Walking out of the hall, Qi Conghui stretched out his hand to block the dazzling sunlight outside, helped his glasses, and turned his head to Atletico and said.

"What's the matter? As soon as I returned to China, I flew directly to Xixian without leaving the capital airport, and I also brought you a lot of tourist souvenirs. Why don't you wait and forget your gift?"

"This can't be done!" Qi Conghui shouted, "I was already sorry for the old man of Sanqin, and I couldn't bear it even more if I didn't give gifts when I came back from a long trip! I still expect your foreign gifts to make up for the wounds in my young heart!"

"Cut!~ An old poplar, almost twenty years old, is still young in mind, pretending to be tender is shameful, everyone will be punished!" Atletico retorted with a smile, and the strangeness of not seeing each other for a year quickly dissipated.

Turning his head and looking at the layout of the airport, this is the first time Atletico Madrid has come to Xixian Airport, and last year I went to Egret Island by train.

"Feeling," Stamped his feet, Atletico said, "Our international airport doesn't live up to its name! There are even direct flights to London, and we have to transfer from the capital airport." ”

"The plane is not a train, doesn't it mean that when you pass by the second high school in Pingxian County, you have to stop and let you get off the plane, you can't give each of you a parachute, you parachute to the playground, right?" Wang Binbin was "angry" about Atletico Madrid's threat not to give him a gift just now, "Besides, even the train is speeding up to 200 kilometers now, and many small stations are not stopping." ”

"Boy, you can consider working hard to make money and then buy your own private jet, and then you can apply for a direct route from London Heathrow to Siham, by the way, I remember your last stop is Manchester, if you have your own or rented private jet, you can fly directly from Manchester to Siham, it will be more convenient. ”

"Private Jets...... I can't even afford to rent it now, let alone buy it. ”

"Mr. Ma, you're just joking," Wei Wei reached out and opened the trunk of the car, and put the two suitcases and two travel bags of Ma Jing and Tang Jiayi into it, and the trunk was just stuffed.

"I remember you didn't open your Beijing QQ back? Why did you change it to Santana again?"

"Specially rented car to pick up the two of you, my QQ luggage compartment is too small to fit this bunch of things. ”

Atletico Tang Jiayi sat in the back seat, and after the car closed the door and the car went on the road, Atletico asked: "By the way, Lao Qi, what is the matter with you saying that I am sorry for Sanqin's father?

Looking up at the bright sky in front of the car, Qi Conghui said quietly: "My parents began to laugh at me like an old farmer, and I must watch the weather forecast after "Completion Simulcast" every day, and then I also want to see the weather forecast of the provincial and municipal stations. And every time it rains, I have to rush to my room in a hurry, not afraid of rain and thunder, nor busy collecting clothes, I am in a hurry to collect water!"

Wei Wei, who was driving, also joined the queue of accusations, "Lao Qi's words are really not an exaggeration, the climate in the north in "Daming" is too cold and dry, right? ”

"Yuyang County, where I am located, is better, although there is no Mi-Yun Reservoir, but the Chaohe River and the Baihe River are still there, relying on these two rivers, our Yuyang County players will not die of drought and thirst. ”

"It's good that the player is thirsty, even if he doesn't eat or drink all the time, it's just that all attributes are reduced to 10%. ”

"What's the difference between that one and that? And you're too comprehensive with all your attributes, isn't it? Movement speed is reduced to 10%, the maximum running speed is reduced to 1 meter per second, and the maximum walking speed is reduced to 15 centimeters per second, and it feels like the speed is not as good as the legendary old lady with small feet. ”

"This is to avoid some players from dragging corpse tactics, originally we planned to directly set the player character can also starve to death, thirst, drown, fall to death, blood loss, one life. Later, considering the harmonious society, it became as if he was living. Otherwise, everyone doesn't pay attention to food and water, and many games can't be played. ”

Atletico explained: "Historically, the period at the end of the Ming Dynasty was the Xiaoice period, with a dry and cold climate and drought in Shaanxi-West for many years. The first generation of King Gao Yingxiang launched an uprising in Ansai County in 1628, the first year of Chongzhen. It was only after years of disasters and famines that everyone had no way to live, so they shouted, 'Instead of sitting and starving, why not steal and die.'" 'slogan. So we set the northwest and north precipitation is scarce, which is in line with the historical background, Lao Qi, you still need to find more geography, climate and local history information, although the overall is relatively dry, but there is also Nanniwan. ”

"Are you embarrassed to say it?" Qi Conghui turned around and grabbed the pillow and said: "When you get home, you can go to the game and build a number to take a look, almost every river is full of tents, that is called a magnificent, that is called a bitterness!"

"Actually, it's not that exaggerated," Atletico said: "There is an advantage and a disadvantage, and the same is a disadvantage, and the key depends on how you operate to benefit and disadvantage." For example, the long-term drought in Shaanxi-West, the low yield of crops, the lack of food and drink, this is a disadvantage, but at the same time, this also makes the refresh rate of the homeless and fugitive here very high, and these homeless fugitives are also tortured by hunger and thirst, and their attributes have dropped significantly, even if they are level 1 martial artists, they can easily catch it, which is not available anywhere else, and it can be said to be a local specialty. Even the Farmer and Citizen Accounts can directly recruit displaced people with food and water, and then 'sell people' to other players through the system, and use the money earned to buy water and food, and continue to sell people. ”

"Human trafficking is illegal, right?" Tang Jiayi, who was sleepy and lazy on a long-haul flight, couldn't help but ask.

"Of course, human trafficking is illegal, so what is sold in the game is the so-called identity deed, which is similar to the ten-year labor contract of the Song Dynasty, which has a year limit and requires wages. Qi Conghui explained: "In fact, in other online games, humanoid NPCs are called pets and summoned beasts, and they are also all kinds of trading and refining, and no one has ever cared about their 'human-power' issues." It's just that your husband has a lot of things, and you also set a maximum service period of 10 years for NPC minions. ”

"Anyway, the number of NPCs on the big map in this game is fixed, Daming 1. 300 million, 5 worldwide. 500 million, if you don't arrest them and sell them to the south to go to Dongfan Island to grow sugarcane and go to Hongji to dig coal, they will basically be involved in the 36th Battalion of peasant armies in the next few years, and there will always be a few who can die well. Atletico said.

Hearing Atletico say this, Qi Conghui remembered something and said: "It is said that some players went to vote for Gao Yingxiang, the king of Chuang, and were cut with a knife, and some players went to tell the story that Li Zicheng rebelled and was also cut by the Mizhi County Order." Is there a game that prohibits players from interfering with history?"

"Nonono, there is no such thing!" Atletico shook his head and said: "In fact, there is no main plot at all, but important historical figures such as Chongzhen, Yuan Chonghuan, Huang Taiji, Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng, these NPCs exist, and the Xiaoice River natural disaster ** displaced people also exist, so it is inevitable that northern Shaanxi will become a powder keg of peasant uprising." However, the specific course of events does not necessarily follow historical facts. NPCs all have AI, but they are not as powerful as in online game novels, and they only refer to the action results of historical prototypes and the characters, habits, and motivations analyzed later, and try to simulate the decision-making process of real people. In this process, you can rely on the history books to yin NPCs, but you can't believe all the books. ”

"For example, last month's campaign in which several player cooperatives ambushed and attacked the Spaniards and sabotaged their attempts to build a city in Tamsui is typical. Historically, in 1628, the Spanish governor of the Philippines sent people to Wanwan Island to steal Tamsui City, and there are such events in the game, but the specific details do not follow the historical facts. At that time, several cooperatives went to the ambush, but only the Dragon's Tooth caught the Spaniards, because other players believed in historical information too much, and ran to the place where the Spaniards built a fort in history to set up an ambush to catch turtles in the urn, and as a result, the cleverness was mistaken by the cleverness. ”

"Hehe," Tang Jiayi laughed, "Actually, those whistleblowers were killed because they forgot to switch dialects, in the eyes of NPCs, they are all outsiders with strange accents, words and deeds, and nobodies, and when they feel annoyed, they will be trampled to death like ants to find a clean place." ”

"This, this, this?" Suddenly knowing the truth, Qi Conghui only felt that his eyes were hot, and it seemed that tears were about to fall.

"Shhhhhh ”

Although it is said to be an internal secret, Atletico itself has joined the ranks of "leaks", explaining: "The only area that Daming is now open to is the central and eastern Chinese-speaking areas, because the translation cost of minority languages is too high, but the benefits are very low. The official documents of the state should be translated into a variety of minority languages, and the soft sister coins should be printed with the languages of the four major ethnic minorities of Mongolia, Tibet, Uyghur and Zhuang, but we are private commercial software, and we do not have such a high sense of social responsibility to do this thankless thing. ”

"The default language of the game client is Chinese Simplified Mandarin, and the NPC dubbing player character dubbing is also in Mandarin, but this is only because no one in our development team knows how to do it, and we are too lazy to study how the dialect was spoken hundreds of years ago, and we are all using synthetic voice to do character dubbing, so both player characters and NPC characters are all standard pronunciation Mandarin comparable to announcers. ”

"But in reality, NPCs and player characters have their own default language and accents. NPCs speak a variety of Chinese dialects and other minority languages depending on their background, and players default to Mandarin, but can change to other languages and accents. Originally, this part was going to be a module of 'dialect proficiency test', but then it was not done because of the lack of manpower. Well,Because you haven't finished changing the language, you can't change it directly in the settings interface.,You have to type the command line in the chat box.,I'll help you change it when you get home.。 ”

"I understand!" Wei Wei suddenly slapped the steering wheel and said, "Is it that the dialect language is the same as that of NPCs, which can increase the task reward and the speed of reputation accumulation? I said how come the Qi brush at the top of the prestige ranking is all players who mix with Guan Ningjun? It turns out that Guan Ningjun is the only Mandarin speaker in the whole game world!"

"It's not Mandarin, Guan Ningjun speaks the prototype of Mandarin three hundred years ago, and there are still many differences in the details. However, this is indeed the closest to Mandarin, so the prestige of doing Guan Ningjun's mission is indeed the highest. ”

Tang Jiayi added: "In fact, the default language has been changed to the same as that of NPCs, which just increases the communication efficiency when dealing with them, and the benefit is that the prestige reward is slightly increased when the task is completed." Just like if you buy meat and steamed buns with Lao Shaanxi's dialect, the master will pour you an extra spoonful of marinade, but he will never give you a free order just because you are a township party. ”

"In fact, the prestige rankings are all mixed with the Northeast Guanning Army, and the proximity of language is only the smallest part of the many reasons. The main reason is that there is a battlefield in the Guanning Army, where you can do daily tasks on the battlefield, and there are players on both sides who can fight against each other. ”

Hearing Atletico mention the matter of the battlefield of the Guanning Army in the northeast, Wei Wei asked: "Actually, we are all very curious, you are in the whole game of 'killing Tartars and cutting pigs' tails, and the relevant departments have not interviewed you?

"Where is the split?" Atletico said with a smile: "Obviously, it is the rebels of the left guard of the Ming Dynasty and the Jianzhou Left, or they belong to a Ming system." ”

"This is also true, the relevant departments should actually give Atletico Madrid a certificate of merit, the big map of this game is strictly in accordance with the country's 'since ancient times' proposition, north to Sakhalin, west to Broken Leaf City, south to Penang, east to the Ryukyu Islands, all of which are a Ming sphere of influence. Qi Conghui said.

Wei Wei glanced at the rearview mirror and said, "Actually, there is a question that I have always wanted to ask, and I remembered it again when Lao Qi said this." It is not clear whether the Nuer Gandusi covering Sakhalin Island is deserted or not, but Li Bai's hometown Broken Leaf City, which was in the territory during the Tang Dynasty, was one of the so-called four capitals of Anxi, but most of the Western Regions were basically lost during the Ming Dynasty, and later Zuo Zongtang helped Liu to enter Xinjiang to recover. In addition, the Protectorate of Cochin has long been abolished, and Penang only has Chinese immigrants, so it shouldn't be considered a city of Daming, right?"

"Haha!" Hearing Wei Wei's question, the other three people in the car couldn't help but laugh out loud except him.

"Let Lao Qi answer this question for you!" said Atletico with a smile.

"Hehe, Lao Wei, you didn't listen to me carefully, I feel so sad and sad. Qi Conghui suddenly pinched his throat and said pretending to be a sissy.

"Speak human words!"

"Actually, as I just said, in the game, the north to Sakhalin Island, the west to Broken Leaf City, the south to Penang, and the east to the Ryukyu Islands, all of which are the sphere of influence of the Ming Dynasty. Note that the sphere of influence is not the scope of national territory! Because at that time, the Western forces had not yet begun to come to each other on a large scale, and the concept of demarcating national boundaries was not popular in the eastern countries, and whether the neighboring countries were national borders or the habitual lines of the two peoples, after all, the east was not the great European plain, and the town lords were densely packed, and they did not have the ability and the consciousness to demarcate the border lines. ”

"History textbooks say that in the 18th and 19th centuries, European colonizers took rulers to divide Africa on the map, resulting in the borders of African countries being horizontal and vertical along the longitude and latitude lines. However, it is now the 17th century in the game, and the prime meridian has not yet been determined, and the earth's latitude and longitude system has not yet been unified, and it is impossible to divide the borders on the map. Atletico added: "So we simply gave it a 'great power without borders', in which countries in the game draw historical boundaries if they have historical borders, and if they don't, they don't draw borders at all, but cities have their own belongings." Neither Broken Leaf City nor Penang is a Daming city, and there is no Daming County Governor. In fact, not only these cities do not have county orders, but many cities in the circle of Yunnan, Guizhou, Qinggan, Mengliao also do not have county orders. The ancient imperial court implemented a 'bondage' policy for the border areas, some of which are like the current - a small number - people - ethnic - self-governance, by the local tribal heads to manage their own people, only need to accept the canonization of the Ming court in the general direction, pay tribute from time to time, do not harass the garrison of the Ming court, basically do their own thing, such as retaining the primitive and cruel slavery or something......"

"Old horse, old horse, I feel like you are a Han nationalist!" Wei Wei sighed: "Players who go to the border areas and don't understand the language of NPCs can't do tasks, and if they accidentally get caught by NPCs and become slaves, if they are lucky, they may be killed and deleted." ”

"This is respecting the national culture and national customs of the compatriots of the minority people, and this is a national policy, and we cannot go against it or bother to violate it. There is also a language barrier that cannot be set up for the task, but the language difference is too large and will indeed lead to a significant reduction in the task reward. ”

Santana slowed down in front of a toll booth and came to a slow stop.

Atletico Madrid looked at the artificially planted street trees in the farmland below the highway and said: "The mainstream gameplay and specialties of the three capitals and three cities, Yanjing, Xijing, Jiangning, Jiangcheng, Rongcheng, and Yangcheng are all different. Yanjing and Ludong in Liaodong are mainly a few large-scale battlefields, and the large-scale battlefields with a scale of more than 100 people are in this area; the Xijing side is mainly a small battlefield with less than 100 people; Jiangning and Rongcheng are both biased towards navigation, each with a different direction, Jiangning takes the direction of Japan and North Korea, and Rongcheng is biased towards the southern Nanyang; Jiangcheng is dominated by martial arts play, and sects compete for hegemony; Yangcheng is more focused on leisure and entertainment and real estate tourism. In short, within ten years, Yanjing in the north and West Kyoto will be biased towards more war games, farming will be difficult, natural disasters with insufficient precipitation and low yield, ** of displaced people robbing the government to collect grain, and other players' covetousness. Of course, there are disadvantages and advantages, the war in the north is endless, the land price and housing prices are cheaper, and the grain price is relatively high, and there should be no problem in growing grain and getting rich with an annual income of 10,000 yuan. ”

"The premise is that you can keep your land and your granary," Tang Jiayi said lightly, and suddenly knocked Wei Weiqi's mind of getting rich from the game that had just boiled back to its original form. For mobile phone users, please visit http://m.piaotian.net
