Chapter 8: Try to Jump
Simon Satoshi looked at it for a while, and felt that he had probably figured out what this third-person manipulation perspective was all about, and also understood what the gameplay of the "Chaotic World" server was like.
He didn't have the feeling of being lost when he first entered the game, and found himself turning into an onion and standing on a triangular platform surrounded by white mist.
So, he used his consciousness to skim the "return to the first immersion mode" in the upper left corner, and his consciousness flashed, this time there was a feeling of falling from the sky into the character's body, and he became the perspective of the onion again.
"Choose the route of the game first, the three yellow glowing circular columns must each represent a different direction of the game." Satoshi thought so, and then slowly walked casually to the yellow circular column on a corner.
"Whatever, I'll choose you." Looking at this column, which was not long and not thick, Simon Satoshi walked in.
The vision darkened for a moment, and soon brightened again. Satoshi found himself on a breezy and bustling, unsettling sunny beach.
Behind the beach is a hill made of white sandstone, shaped like an umbrella-shaped mushroom, and you can't help but want to stand on the top of the hill and look out at the sea.
Above this white hill was a huge, blazing burst of sun, surrounded by many white and yellow light wheels that radiated from its light. Ximen Cong glanced at it and felt that he was about to be melted by it, the temperature of his body was much hotter, and his green hair seemed to be wilting and drooping back even more weakly.
The sky seems to have been fumigated by the sun, and there is no trace of clouds, and you can clearly see the blue sky, and there are no birds in the sky, so I don't know where to hide from the burning of such a huge hot ball.
Looking into the sea, the sea surface was calm like the moonlight at midnight sprinkled on the flat ground in the courtyard, without a single wave. There is only a little breeze blowing Buddha, which brings a hint of dynamism to this picture, and also brings a touch of coolness to Simon Satoshi.
On the surface of the sea, there is only one blue platform after another that extends into the distance, and the blue of the platform is deeper than the blue of the sea, so the difference between the two is obvious, and people will not be confused by the blue of the same blue.
The sandy beach is full of bunkers, and Satoshi Simon is now standing in a shallow bunker. He walked to the edge of the sea, because there was a blue marker in the line where the sea and the beach fluctuated back and forth.
Satoshi walked to the marker, and the sound of the system prompt came from his ear, "The player has reached the marker point and can start jumping." ”
After the sound sounded, a white indicator line connected to the blue platform was emitted from the blue marker point, and the white indicator line passed through one blue platform after another until it disappeared into the horizon.
Satoshi knew that it was from this point of passage that he jumped to the blue platform, and then jumped forward one by one. The first platform is large and close to the initial jump point, which makes him feel good to jump.
So, he moved on to third-person control mode to choose the strength and angle of his jump, and began to play this little game called "Jump to the Unknown End".
"Enter third-person manipulation mode." Satoshi Ximen thought silently in his heart, and then his consciousness was pulled out again, turning into a third-person manipulated interface.
He shifted his consciousness to the point below the rectangular tooltip on the left where he chose the strength and angle of the jump.
To choose the strength of the jump, use consciousness and point it on a long bar with four colors on the screen. White, yellow, blue, and red are evenly distributed in this long frame from bottom to top. White represents the least force, red represents the most force, and each color is gradually deepened from the bottom to the top.
Choosing the jump angle is a radar-like circular interface disk, the center of the inventory represents the position of the game character, and you can use your consciousness to extend a line from the center of the disk, and the direction of this line indicates the direction of the jump.
Satoshi chose the dynamics and direction that he thought was appropriate, and then returned to the first-person immersion mode. Then, he controlled his legs and jumped with all his might.
He felt that his body was moving along certain predetermined passages, rather than being controlled by his own body to jump, which must have been the result of his choice of jump strength and direction in third-person mode.
After landing steadily on the first blue platform, Satoshi then looked at the next blue platform, then returned to the third-person mode of operation to select the strength and direction of the jump, and continued to jump to the next blue platform.
The area of the blue platform deep into the ocean gradually changes from large to small, but the distance between the two adjacent blue platforms is indeed far and near.
Simon Satoshi's onion body jumped over one blue platform after another, gradually sinking deeper into the ocean. He looked back and could no longer see the yellow sand beach and the sandstone mushroom mountain behind the sand, only the relentless explosion of the sun was still in the air to shoot high temperature at Simon Satoshi, it seemed to be urging Simon to move forward, making Simon Satoshi's body very hot all the time.
One by one, he jumped over an unknown number of blue platforms, and suddenly slowly found that the game was getting more and more difficult. When Simon saw that the next blue platform was more than half smaller than the one he was currently standing, the distance was also very difficult to grasp, because the next blue platform was moving back and forth, and the height was much higher than the one he was standing on, and the two were not on the same plane.
"This difficulty has increased too much all of a sudden," Simon sighed in his heart, "Not only has the size changed, but the height has also changed, and the most important thing is that it is still moving. ”
There was no way, he had to give it a try. He is in a third-person perspective, and after careful choice and a long hesitation, he determines his choice.
Returning to first-person immersion mode, he waited for the moment when his next blue platform was closer, and then jumped with all his might, watching his body leap high and get closer and closer to the next blue platform.
Before reaching the next blue platform, suddenly Simon felt his body begin to fall. It's getting closer and closer to the sea level, but it's getting farther and farther away from the blue platform you're going to jump on.
"It's still too light, hey." Ximen Cong felt annoyed in his heart, "It's not good to do this kind of strength lightly, it's not good to be heavy, it's really difficult to master just the right thing." ”
When his body was completely submerged by the sea, he felt that his breathing was gradually difficult, his body gradually weakened, and slowly his consciousness turned into darkness. Except for the lack of pain, it was as if I had really fallen into the sea and drowned.
Soon, consciousness gradually returned. Satoshi found himself in third-person mode, and the stupid onion in the consciousness interface returned to the original landing point of the jump on the beach.
"The game fails, and the player character returns to square one."
"Your game jump reaches a distance of 98 meters. This time the arrival distance has not entered the leaderboard, please continue to work hard. ”
The sound of the game system then came into Satoshi Simon's head.
