Chapter 1080: Cover Star

"Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms?" Zhao Xilin didn't react for a while, and opened his mouth to confirm.

"That's right!" Lin Chen nodded, "The Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms are followed by the Northern Song Dynasty, Taizu Changquan was created by Zhao Kuangyin, and there should have been an original version circulating in the Five Dynasties before, just like 'Wing Chun' to 'Jeet Kune Do'." ”

Relying on the coordinates of the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhao Xilin finally found the position of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms in the long river of history. He blinked his eyes and asked with curiosity, "Why do you use this time as a background? Isn't the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties bad?"

Excluding Li Xunhuan, Lu Xiaofeng, and Xiao Shisanlang, who are not clear about the specific era, martial arts fans basically know that Shuanglong let go of the Tang Dynasty, Qiao Feng struggled between Song and Liao, Guo Jing was born in the Northern Song Dynasty Jingkangnian, Yang Guofeishi killed Meng Ke Khan in seconds, Guo Xiang became a monk and founded the Emei faction, Zhang Sanfeng staged Tai Chi in Wudang Mountain, Mingjiao overthrew the Yuan Dynasty and established the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Danfeng saved the Ming Dynasty emperor, Wei Xiaobao signed a bed contract with Princess Sophia of Russia, and the seven swords of the anti-Qing Dynasty restored the Ming Dynasty to the Tianshan Mountain, etc.

"Wulin Supreme" chooses five dynasties and ten kingdoms with little sense of existence, which means that Qiao Feng, Duan Yu, Guo Jing, Yang Guo, Wang Yuyan, Huang Rong, Xiaolongnu Shuang'er, these famous heroes and giants, and pink beauties cannot appear, which is really incomprehensible.

The question was thrown, but Lin Chen was busy manipulating the characters to run around the mountain village, and Zhao Xilin had to assume by himself: "It can't be that Bee You can't give up the copyright fee, right?

Hearing his friend's question, Lin Chen casually retorted without raising his head: "You guessed wrong, the room names of Yitian Studio are all specifically looking for Jin Lao, needless to say, their relationship has already obtained the same adaptation rights of the Jin martial arts, and the martial arts of the character sect can be used." The reason why the game is set in the five dynasties and ten kingdoms is completely intentional, and you can't figure it out because you haven't turned a corner. ”

"Sell it again!Forget it, I'd better go!" Zhao Xilin stood up and walked out.

Lin Chen didn't eat this set, "Okay, don't send it if you go slowly!"

"That's not good," the former stopped and turned around, reached out and pulled out the folding stool stuffed in the corner, opened it and sat next to Lin Chen. Busy with work or something.,It's actually just his excuse.,When it comes to the execution stage, they're actually quite idle.,Just look at how this strange game works.。

"Whatever you want," Lin Chen tilted his head to see, and continued to play his game, the opening stage is very important, you must always keep an eye on it.

"You haven't said why?" Zhao Xilin still remembered what happened just now.

"It's very simple," Lin Chen said without thinking, "The reason why I chose the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms is because this period is chaotic enough. ”

The Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms are very chaotic just by name, and if you look up the chronology, you can be even more sure that it is a completely chaotic era.

In 907, Zhu Wen usurped Tang Jianliang, in 923 Li Cunqiao destroyed Liang Jiantang, in 936 Shi Jingjiao destroyed Tang Jianjin, in 948 Liu Zhiyuan founded the Han Dynasty, in 951 Guo Wei usurped Han Jianzhou, in 960 Zhao Kuangyin usurped Zhou Lisong, in just over 50 years, six dynasties appeared in the Central Plains.

In order to distinguish it from the previous dynasties, the first five short-lived Central Plains dynasties were uniformly added with the word "Hou", called Later Liang, Later Tang, Later Jin, Later Han and Later Zhou, and called "Five Dynasties".

At the same time, there were also local separatist forces in the surrounding areas that were nominally subservient to the Central Plains Dynasty, among which the former Shu, Later Shu, Wu, Southern Tang, Wu Yue, Fujian, Chu, Southern Han, Jingnan, and Northern Han were collectively known as the "Ten Kingdoms".

During this period, the Central Plains Dynasty only had a "lifespan" of more than ten years, and properly "the emperor took turns to do it, and there were many soldiers to do it". The situation on the side of the "Ten Kingdoms" is slightly better, the former Shu lasted 18 years and was destroyed by the Later Tang Dynasty, which is the shortest, and most of the others existed for thirty years, which happened to be one or two generations.

The emperor and the officials had the sweet dream of "raising a tall building and collapsing it", and the life of the people at the bottom was not easy. Natural disasters, military disasters, banditry, cults, local tyrants, and bullies can easily destroy a family, and it is not impossible to destroy a village and a city. In these troubled times, relying on force to protect oneself has become a natural choice.

"Confucianism is a violation of the law, chivalry is forbidden by martial arts, but whenever the imperial court has a little control, it will maintain a suppressive posture on black and white, help Tian faction to pay taxes according to regulations, monks and Taoists sell in limited quantities, strong bows and hard armor are hidden and killed, robbing the rich and killing greedy pictures and catching pictures. If you want to roar when you see injustice, draw a knife if you don't agree with a word, and splash blood in five steps like grass, it's better to save it. ”

"Although the ancient government did not have a high rate of solving cases, it was not too constrained by the law and public opinion. Surrounding the surrounding exits, throwing oil bottles and rockets, and firing a salvo of strong bows and crossbows, whether it is a tween-shining hero or a powerful sect, they all have to turn into ashes, unless Xuewang Chongyang hides in the deep mountains and old forests. ”

Taking a sip of the teacup, Lin Chen continued: "There is another reason, the society is stable, and ordinary people are busy earning money to live, so they don't have the time to join the martial arts to carry a sword. Without enough low-level members, there will be no abundant resources and talents, and the gangs and sects can naturally only wither silently. For example, those old boys on Hong Kong Island, at the beginning, the colonial authorities didn't care about the life or death of the people at the bottom, and the gangs became the de facto managers of the bottom society, and their power was so great that they were boundless, but when the Hong Kong government began to pay attention to people's livelihood and social order, and the economy began to take off in the sixties and seventies, the gang power began to shrink gradually, and now they can only live in movies. ”

Zhao Xilin has accepted the other party's statement in his heart, but he still has to argue verbally: "Martial arts is an adult fairy tale, what are you doing with reality?"

"It depends on the situation," Lin Chen nodded, "Short stories can blur the background of the world, and readers don't care what the big thieves eat and drink, what the materials of weapons and clothes are, as long as the story is wonderful and beautiful." But if it is expanded to a medium and long story, it will involve the self-consistency of the worldview, otherwise it will feel full of disobedience and cannot be cohesive. Referencing reality is obviously the fastest way to build a self-consistent worldview, and the target audience is easier to understand. ”

"Hey!" Zhao Xilin finally seized the opportunity, "In reality, there is no internal force, no light work, and the meridian acupuncture points are not so godly, how do you explain this?"

"It's true that there is no," Lin Chen nodded lightly, not intending to deny these obvious differences, "However, internal force, qigong, meridians, these things only work for mid-to-high-end martial arts people, but they have nothing to do with low-level martial artists and ordinary people." Neili Medical has not benefited the public, light logistics has not been able to be chained nationwide, and you still have to take medicine if you are sick, according to Occam's razor's law, these elements can actually be eliminated. ”

"It's all eliminated, is that still martial arts?" Zhao Xilin became interested, "This game, won't it just be a low-level martial arts game and engage in martial arts, right?"

"No, there is still to be a meridian of internal force and light power," Lin Chen shook his head, "You'd better watch their promotional video, they want to make a near-real martial arts." ”

"Oh?" Zhao Xilin became interested, glanced at the computer screen, and took out his mobile phone, "I know there is this promotional video, but I haven't clicked on it and watched it." Ever since I was cheated by Star Citizen, I don't dare to watch this kind of propaganda film anymore, for fear of chopping my hands impulsively. ”

Space sci-fi game Star Citizen is hugely controversial, with opponents calling it an "interstellar god pit, a scammer citizen", and proponents say it's an upcoming masterpiece and are proud to be a part of it.

Founded in 2011 on the crowdfunding site Kickstarter, Chris Roberts has raised hundreds of millions of dollars and set world records for his status as a renowned producer and the grandeur of the universe.

However, due to its size, the game took six years to complete, and it was hard to understand that the game had to be reassured by releasing small-scale demos and then making all sorts of cool spaceships to sell for money.

"Hey!" Lin Chen sneered, "You actually don't believe in the brother company?"

"Blizzard has made a mistake on 'titan', and the game that has been in development for seven years will be canceled if it is canceled, what's wrong with me being cautious?"

With the endorsement of Blizzard's father, this example is too powerful, and Lin Chen said he was speechless.

After looking at it for a while, Zhao Xilin continued: "By the way, the cheats are all given by others, what are you doing with your apprentices up the mountain?"

When the two were talking, the plot of the game was still advancing, and "Lin Chen" was initially restored, first learning the cheats given by the village elders, and then accepting the five orphans in the mountain village as apprentices. However, he was not in a hurry to teach the secret book exercises, but took his apprentice up the mountain as soon as possible.

Hearing this, Lin Chen was also full of helplessness, "Of course I went up the mountain to find food! The food in the village was robbed by the rebels, and the poor and rich martial arts had no nutrition and could not practice martial arts, so I could only take them to borrow some meat from animal friends." ”

Of course, there is another reason why he did this, the rookie master is a beginner, and the illiterate apprentice is not divided into left and right, even if he wants to teach, he can't teach well, so he simply pulls out to train in battle. As for what kind of painting style it is to fight animals with long fists, he and Zhao Xilin quickly saw it.

Including Changquan, the vast majority of martial arts are aimed at humans, but fortunately, the dead are alive, and they can still hit animals if they are used alive. And this is also what distinguishes "Martial Arts Supreme" from other martial arts games and even fighting games.

Bee's PT Platinum Engine game has a powerful skeletal animation system, and the move system developed by Yitian Studio on this basis takes this advantage to the extreme, and the characters can automatically adjust their postures according to different goals, ensuring that there will be no awkward pictures of similar games.

In order to highlight this special design, but also to highlight the theme of "real martial arts", the design team used the real size and speed of animal monsters very seriously, and the result was that rabbits and frogs were too small to catch up, wild dogs and wild boars were too big to beat, and it looked all kinds of embarrassment, and there was no funny meaning.

Fortunately, among the five apprentices of "Lin Chen" are the Yang brothers from the Orion family, who have learned some simple trap skills since they were children, and the seven masters and apprentices finally went down the mountain with a bunch of prey. In addition to the silly rabbits that are all over the mountains, they also caught an adult sambar deer, which can barely be regarded as a full harvest.

The meat was not easy to preserve, and these animals were quickly brought back to the village to be slaughtered, and Lin Chen left the fur and bones and distributed half of the meat offal to the neighbors, which made the small village that had experienced the catastrophe have a little more laughter.

Looking at the deer head on the screen, Zhao Xilin quickly noticed something strange, "What's the matter with this deer?

"This is not surprising that herbivores are characterized by well-developed molars and degenerative or absent canine teeth. But there are always some animals that don't go off the beaten path, and you see this one is such a strange thing. ”

The canine tooth function is to tear, and the main use is actually fighting, typical of the long tusks of saber-toothed tigers and walruses. Modern carnivores are characterized by specialized, bonesaw-like molars (cleft teeth), which are much more degraded than their predecessors, but are still seen as a symbol of aggression.

The canine teeth of herbivores such as cattle, sheep and rabbits have degenerated and disappeared, while the more primitive deer animals such as roe deer and sambar deer still retain more developed canine teeth, but because the exposure rate is not as good as that of sika deer, it is often ignored.

Lin Chen pressed the button to open the details page of the deer head and glanced at the content on it, "This is a sambar deer, a deer that lives in the temperate and tropical zones of Asia. ”

Following his line of sight, Zhao Xilin also saw the introduction text, and then he laughed: "Hey, Yitian is also interesting, just playing a game, why do you still mark it with 'vulnerable, hunting and killing violates the criminal law', this is too broad, right?"

"It's not because of our boss!" Lin Chen was also full of complaints, and complained when he heard the words.

As far as I know, Boss Ma has always hated disrupting daily life for the sake of environmental protection, so how can he care about this?"

He didn't care, but he was submitted to the United Nations Environment Programme by the Directorate General of Forestry last year for this year's Champions of the Earth award. How do you say that? What is good at the top, but what is bad at the bottom. The boss is going to be a 'guardian of the earth', and his employees naturally can't hold back, so Bee Games cooperated with the Institute of Botany of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Institute of Archaeology of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, saying that it would embed the authoritative encyclopedia of real animals and plants and architectural items in the game, and the first batch of priority labels of endangered animals and plants, and then that's it. ”

"Okay," Zhao Xilin said that this reason was very strong, and silently praised Mr. Xu of Bee You.

"What should I do then? stay in the mountain village and continue to develop, and then practice martial arts to fight all over the world?"

"It would be nice if it was that simple," Lin Chen raised his handle, "When the apprentice is settled, I will go down the mountain." Go out and collect cheats, craft weapons, find turf, and earn money to support your family along the way. By the way, this game has two star NPCs, and I'm going to check them out. ”

"Who are they?"

"Zhao Kuangyin and Li Yu, who else can there be besides them? Li Keyong and Li Cunxiao are already dead at this time, and their reputation is a little worse. ”

Zhao Kuangyin was born in 927 and usurped Zhou as emperor in 960, and was the founding king of the Zhao and Song dynasties for three hundred years.

Li Yu was born in 937, inherited the throne of the Southern Tang Dynasty in 961, and destroyed the Southern Tang Dynasty in 975. Later, he wrote the eternal quatrain of "The old country is unbearable to look back at the moonlight", and then died inexplicably.

These two historical celebrities have a lot of counterparts worth excavating, and the planning of "Martial Arts Supreme" is hot, setting Zhao Kuangyin as a current martial saint who is proficient in stick and boxing, giving Li Yuan the title of being good at poetry and painting, and superb swordsmanship, and treating these two as cover stars for bundle publicity.
