Chapter 0140: A Game Like a Cold Virus
"This game is kind of interesting!"
Wang Lingdong didn't take it seriously when he first started playing "Zhou's Cube", but when it took him ten seconds to figure out how to play the game and get started, he couldn't put it down.
The bun in his hand was already cold, but Wang Lingdong didn't realize it, all his attention was focused on the computer screen, constantly changing the shape of the plate, looking for the most suitable place to put it.
"Sticks, sticks, sticks, why haven't you come yet!" Wang Lingdong has already piled up two huge plate mountains, only a narrow gap in the middle, as long as there is a stick falling at this time, he can immediately lose the height of the plate mountain and get a lot of points.
The more I looked forward to it, the more late the stick came, seeing that the height of the plate mountain was getting higher and higher, and it was about to touch the top of the screen, Wang Lingdong shook his hand, and a plate was placed in the wrong position.
"It's over, it's over!" Wang Lingdong's heart was cold.
Just as he pounded his chest and was ready for the ending of "GAMEOVER", a stick appeared at the top of the screen.
"Cool!" Wang Lingdong was pleasantly surprised to manipulate the stick to fall to the bottom of the screen, and saw the mountains on both sides disappear at the same time, and shouted coolly.
"I'm far away from you, I'm listening to you yelling, why are you yelling?" The door of the bedroom was pushed open, and the three roommates Song Liang, Hu Xiaoyu and Wang Zhenlei walked in.
"Play the game. Wang Lingdong didn't reply.
"What game?" the roommates came over to see the excitement, "The Legend of the Beacons?"
"The Legend of the Beacon Heroes" is a martial arts role-playing game adapted from the work of martial arts novel master Jin Rumeng, which ushered in rave reviews after its release, selling 290,000 copies in the same month, setting a sales record for role-playing games in recent years.
Recently, when college boys meet, they will first ask "Have you played "The Legend of the Beacon Heroes" and how is your progress?", if there are still people who haven't played, they will definitely be ridiculed.
thought that Wang Lingdong was playing "The Legend of the Beacon Heroes", but after seeing the simple and somewhat ridiculous game screen on the screen, the three of them were happy.
Song Liang said disdainfully: "How old are you to still play this kind of child's game?"
Hu Xiaoyu also said: "What kind of game is this, it's like building blocks." ”
"Children's game, building blocks, you can just come and play with it!" Wang Lingdong stared intently at the falling plates, adjusted his position, and said at the same time.
"It's boring, I'd better play "The Legend of the Beacon Heroes". I've hit Padang-gun, and I'm about to meet the third big boss. Song Liang sat down in front of his computer and said triumphantly.
"How did you get through the zombie village in front of you, I tried several times and couldn't get through. Hu Xiaoyu asked.
Wang Zhenlei was a little interested in the "Zhou's Cube", and after standing behind him and watching it for a few minutes, he said: "Where did you play, the website told me." ”
"I forgot what the website was called, I clicked on an ad on the Singularity Literature Forum. By the way, if you don't have a member account for the Singularity Literature Forum, you still have to sign up. Wang Lingdong said.
"Is it so troublesome?" Wang Zhenlei turned on the computer, first logged in to the Singularity Literature Forum, and then clicked on the advertisement to go to the game network, and then registered as a member, and after tossing for a while, he finally played.
He was also fascinated by this game.
On the four computers in the dormitory, two are fighting in the martial arts world, and two are carrying out the challenge of "building blocks......
"Oops, oh no!" Wang Lingdong's score increased quickly, and the difficulty of the game increased as his score increased.
As soon as the speed was fast, the time to react was not enough, a small mistake led to a series of mistakes, and soon a sad piece of music sounded, and Wang Lingdong's first challenge failed.
A line popped up on the screen, saying that his 331281 score was currently ranked 19th in the ranking of the "Zhou's Cube" project on the game network, and asked him if he wanted to leave a record.
Of course, Wang Lingdong chose "yes", and the frustration of failure was replaced by a sense of achievement, and at the same time he was a little unwilling.
"That's the nineteenth place, if it weren't for that mistake, the score would definitely be higher!" Wang Lingdong felt that he could play better.
"No, I have to do it again!" Even if there is no ranking of the storage zài, Wang Lingdong wants to have another game immediately, and the storage of the ranking list has inspired his determination, and he did not hesitate to click the "one more game" button.
Although the rules are simple, Zhou's cubes have a magical power. When people lose a game, they don't get discouraged, they feel that it's just a momentary mistake, so they will be ambitious to try again.
The existence of the leaderboard has increased the level of this challenge, and people will hit their own records again and again, while competing with others.
When they win, they think they are more talented, and when they lose, they feel like it's just a small mistake.
A similar mix of anticipation and accomplishment makes them have a great deal of fun in the repetition of the game.
Clever psychologists may be able to explain the mystery of this human reaction, but the gamers don't care, they just want to break the record again and again, trampling everyone else under their feet, this kind of happiness is very simple, but like an apple in the Garden of Eden, it tempts everyone in the world.
Hu Xiaoyu's character died under the siege of zombies in the zombie village, and he was depressed and tapped the mouse.
He turned around and found that Wang Lingdong and Wang Zhenlei were both concentrating on playing "Zhou's Cube", and couldn't help but say: "What is the URL, I'll also try it." ”
After playing for a few seconds, he realized that although the game was simple, it had a different thrill from fighting zombies.
So, the third person was hooked.
Song Liang fought hard and finally knocked down the powerful boss, and when he was about to show off with his roommates, he found that the three of them were playing that very inconspicuous game, and they were even comparing each other's rankings on the leaderboard.
"What about a broken game like this and a leaderboard? I'll try it too. Song Liang rolled up his sleeves and said disdainfully.
The last one also fell.
On this day, something like this happened all over China.
Zhou's cube is like a cold virus, first fascinating a person, taking that person as the center of the circle, and infecting another person.
Every infected person has become the source, spreading the charm of Zhou's cube one by one.
When there are enough sources, the propagation will change from point to sheet, and then from sheet to network.
In the end, all these sources will converge into a trend, devouring a qiē, and creating a zào miracle.
