Chapter 218: A Different Online Game
No connotation?
If it was just "Sky Star", Liu Xinxing could only laugh at this comment.
After all, his former "Sky Star" is undoubtedly a fast food work, and if you put it in the online article, it is Xiaobaiwen. Xiaobaiwen may be a blockbuster, but it will never be accepted by the public, because the current society pays too much attention to "connotation". No matter how good-looking your work is, no matter how popular it is, it has no connotation or depth, then I'm sorry, I still won't recognize you.
I think God was denied in various ways because of this, but since the appearance of AB, there have been fewer and fewer people who criticize the plot of his works. Who dares to say that AB has no connotation? People all over the world who support AB can drown them with no spit!
Now, he is also facing this situation when he debuted as a cartoonist of "Xiao Baiwen". However, now his work is "Sword Art Online", do you dare to say that swords have no connotation?
When Sword first started, it looked no different from his original "Skystar", but what made the audience strange was that there didn't seem to be any funny plot from the beginning of the plot, could it be that it didn't appear until it was in the game?
Indeed, at the beginning of "Sword Art Online", the male protagonist Kiritani Kazuto was at home with another family member, and his sister didn't seem to get along well. After his sister went to school, Kiritani Kazuto also went directly into the game. This unclear beginning really makes many people's teeth itch in a hurry.
But it's worth noting that the painting style of this anime is no longer the cute style of "Skystar", but it is closer to the daily style of ab, which is not beautiful, but very exquisite. Anyone who knows a little about God's comics can clearly see the great progress of Nova in this work.
It's just a pity for many people. Male protagonist Kiritto (Kiritani Kazuto ID in the game.γ i.e. the name of the character) The first person I met was not a girl. Instead, it's a guy named Klein. When they saw the male protagonist teach a novice player with a cutlass to familiarize himself with the game...... For some reason, I felt that some inexplicable images began to emerge in my brain.
Of course, in fact, it is impossible for the two to have any singing and crying stories, at best, it is just a master player in the closed beta bringing a newcomer to familiarize himself with the game.
But when Klein was about to quit the game for dinner after playing for a long time, the two gradually realized that something was wrong.
The menu option to exit the game is missing!?
This situation is a very strict bug for the game's producer! After contacting customer service, they found that there was no response, and the two could only wait quietly for the customer service to find out about the bug as soon as possible, so that they could resume the normal game.
At this time, the audience in front of the screen smelled a trace of unusualness. Even the scenes in the game have begun to change, turning into the setting sun, and the music has become a little solemn, and at first glance, it even looks like a scene of the end of the world.
There are no trailers, no spoilers, all the viewers are ignorant and read it, and for the current situation, their situation is not necessarily much better than that of the male protagonist in the anime. Huge mysteries surround them, even if there is no immersive sense of crisis and insecurity. The anime's own music also doesn't give them any room to breathe for their nervous minds.
Suddenly, the bell rang throughout the game. One by one, it seems to be a cry announcing the end of the world, which makes people shudder. As the bell rings, Kirito finds himself starting to disintegrate his body - a process he's familiar with during the closed beta, an animation effect when a player dies or teleports to an area. But now he didn't die, and he didn't teleport......
When I came back to my senses, I had come to a huge square, and people around me were constantly appearing out of thin air in a blue light, and at this time this square was already gathered thousands of players.
& Teleport!? β
When everyone was panicking, a small red display code in the sky suddenly began to spread rapidly, and it was all over the sky in just a few moments. In the end, everyone seemed to see a blood-colored sky, which was extremely shocking and terrifying.
Blood oozed from the cracks in the sky, dripping downward, and then gathered to form a giant red faceless cloak.
&
&What is faceless? β
& What is the activity? β
There was a lot of discussion among the players, but there wasn't much fear. In online games, this kind of large-scale dungeon or main plot is not uncommon, and for them, the current situation is probably also an activity of the production party, right?
& players, welcome to Minecraft. From the cloak came the voice of a middle-aged man.
& world? β
Kirito suddenly felt that something was wrong, this dialogue obviously didn't look like what a mission NPC would say, did he mean by "my world...... This game?
& whose name is Akihiko Kayaba, is the only one who can control the game now. β
The players present did not notice anything wrong in the slightest, and even admired the realistic Cheng dΓΉ of this huge NPC image.
& I think you've noticed that the logout button has disappeared from the main menu, right? However, this is not a bug in the game. Again, this is not a loophole. Rather, it is the original design of SAO (abbreviation of sword&&&). β
At this time, people felt very strange: the game itself was set not to quit the game? What does that mean?
& It is not possible to log out of the game on your own, and it is not possible to use a real person or remove the nervgear. If someone tries to do this, the nervgear signal element will emit high-energy microwaves that will destroy your brain and stop your life. β
The audience was in a state of commotion, and it was clear that the players didn't believe in this kind of thing, and for them, they preferred to believe that it was an event set by the manufacturer.
&What are you talking about? There's something wrong with your head, right, Kirito? Klein obviously doesn't want to believe this statement either, he's just playing a game, this kind of development is just, isn't it?
But Kirito, who is very concerned about this first completely stealth game, recalled some of the information he looked up, and the results of the analysis made him shudder, "The microwave emitted by the signal element is indeed the same as the microwave oven, and as long as the restriction is lifted, it is ...... to burn the brain."
When Klein heard him, a beta player, say this, he couldn't calm down: "Then just unplug it......"
& OK, nervgear has a built-in battery. β
Klein was completely cut off from the idea of luck, and he also seemed a little hysterical: "But this is too messy!" What the hell is going on? β
The NPC that calls itself Akihiko Kayaba, once again, in order to prove his words, even cited several examples of players who have died due to inappropriate operations. The pictures that have been posted on the Internet appear one by one in mid-air, and the scene in the square is simply shocking.
& There are constant reports of your condition in all the media, and news that there have been multiple deaths, so it can be said that the danger of your nervgear being forcibly removed is very low. I hope you can work hard to guide the game with peace of mind. β
ββ¦β¦β
The audience in front of the computer screen was all in a mess.
Many of them are also readers of Nova and are his fans, so they also like his comic style with a light-hearted entertainment theme. But this time, the result they were looking forward to, the plot was only halfway through, and the expected funny plot failed to appear, and the plot became more and more depressing.
Isn't this a game? Isn't this a virtual online game that has appeared in countless kinds of entertainment and hegemony in the online literature industry? Why did the game turn out to be like this in the first place?
Can't quit the game? Take off that game helmet called nervgear and die? And it's only been about a day since the game started, and there have already been hundreds of deaths!?
You don't want to make a game so bloody! Even if there is no blood yet, the number of deaths is shocking!
& Well, there's one more point to note. In the future, all resurrection mechanics will be eliminated in the game, and your characters will disappear forever when your HP reaches zero. Meantime...... Your brains will also be destroyed by Nervgear! β
There was silence!
This news is even more cruel than the fact that I haven't witnessed it with my own eyes just now-death in the game can lead to my own death in reality? What could be more?
& There is only one condition that can liberate you from this game, and that is to clear this game. Now that you are at the lowest level of Ayn Grant, the first layer, you can enter the next layer by storming the labyrinth of each floor and defeating the boss of that floor. After defeating the final boss on the 100th floor, you will be considered cleared. β
For this is still a game-like playthrough, but the reality is even more brutal, all players and viewers fell silent. (To be continued......)
