Chapter 3: Dream World (3)
Night, Dream World, Dungeon Games, Dragon's Cave.
"Are you sure the dragon is in this cave?" I asked cautiously. "Of course, I saw it fly in." Li Wei replied in the affirmative.
So the three of us slowly walked in, the cave was dark, and after walking for a few hundred meters, we finally saw that the entrance to the cave in front of us was bright.
As we walked out of the cave, it dawned on us that the cave was very spacious, and in front of us was a hill of treasures, and at the top of the mountain, a huge dragon was sleeping on its stomach.
As if sensing an intruder, it opened its eyes instantly, and the three of us immediately waited for it.
The evil dragon glanced at the three of us, and then quickly flew up and attacked Li Wei, the magician.
"Li Wei, use the barrier technique quickly." I immediately opened my mouth to warn.
"Okay, I'll see, how this spell is pronounced, Gukami, ah!" I just watched Li Wei open the magic book unhurriedly, and then crashed the evil dragon into the air, turning into a little starlight.
"Ahhh No, don't die. Qi Peng howled in pain and showed amazing acting skills, and I had a black line at one end.
After a while, Qi Peng and I, who had lost the magician at the beginning, both died in battle, quit the game, and returned to the living room.
Seeing me and Qi Peng who quit the game, Li Wei said, "Let's go, take you to a good place." ”
We sat in an autonomous aircraft and arrived at our destination in a short time.
"It's just an ordinary hotel, it's no different." Qi Peng said.
Since the Dream Company joined the taste system, the food of the world, at least the food of the world of Dream World, we have all eaten about it, and the food of Dream World will be updated from time to time.
We were taken to a very spacious private room by the waiter. In front of us was a huge round table, ten meters in diameter, and the first course was covered by an oval disc, almost two meters long and one meter wide. When the lid opened, it was a huge shrimp.
I took one look and asked with some confusion, "Is this an odd shrimp?" ”
"yes." Lee's face was excited. "The last time I finished the class, I wanted to try the taste of such a big shrimp, and when I searched on the Internet, I didn't expect that there really would be such a place. By the way, dear, there is a prehistoric animal pet store next to it, and there are prehistoric animal pets that can be purchased. ”
I tasted it and it tasted like normal shrimp.
Because it was originally simulated, the taste of the real strange shrimp may have to wait for hundreds of years to see if scientists can resurrect them in the future.
Li Wei also tasted it and commented: "It's not as delicious as crayfish." I still remember when I just updated my taste system, Qi Peng was afraid that he would bite his tongue in reality when he ate in the dream world! ”
Qi Peng didn't speak, picked up the menu, and also ordered a dish. After serving, the lid was opened, and Li Wei retched. It is a steamed giant horse.
Qi Peng picked up the chopsticks and ate them, and said while eating: "What is this, Qiu Yu has also eaten!" ”
Li Wei's eyes widened and he looked at me with horror on his face.
I retorted viciously: "Didn't you eat it too?" ”
Li Wei moved back quietly, and I almost immediately realized that I had made a mistake and hurriedly explained.
"That's not really eating, it's a game, we play two special forces in it, there is a level that is chased by the enemy, can't escape anywhere, forced to hide in a dung pit, those people searched for several minutes, too long, couldn't hold their breath, accidentally choked. I didn't want to jump at the time, but he couldn't get over it and pulled me down. ”
"That's right, we also got the title of Pit Warrior in the end." Qi Peng showed off.
And the game was a great success, and the producer proudly said that "giving players a profound experience is also a necessary condition for the success of the game", and he patted his chest at the time, swearing that the in the game is absolutely original, and it is completely restored according to the taste of in reality. Qi Peng then added, my face getting darker and darker. Li Weiwei asked curiously, "What does that smell like?" ”
After eating for a while, Li Wei is going to be a tutor.
"Even someone like you can be a tutor." Qi Peng looked disdainful.
"Cut, I'm 985." Li Wei retorted.
"And what do you teach?" I'm a little curious.
"Teach Chinese to foreigners." Li Wei replied. "By the way, I also teach children. It's just to teach them some addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and then there's to take them to the fairy tale world. Li Wei added.
"That's really condescending." Qi Peng smiled cheaply.
As soon as Li Wei left, Qi Peng pulled me to another place.
"Where is this?" Looking at the towering house in front of me, I was a little curious. "Nintendo Club." Qi Peng replied.
There are many kinds of clubs in each city in the dream world, and the role of the club is to bring together like-minded people with the same interests. For example, the astronomy club I joined, and Li Wei's foodie club.
"Let's go." Qi Peng said.
"The Nintendo Club is mainly divided into two parts, the handheld department and the console department, and in the handheld department, Nintendo's previous handheld consoles have set up a department, and the console department is the same." Qi Peng introduced while taking me around four times.
After a while, he stopped at a doorway.
"This is the GB part of the handheld department, and GB is the first handheld in the traditional sense of Nintendo."
Walked in, there are a lot of people here, all holding GB game consoles in their hands, this is now seeming, very old game consoles, rectangular, very thick, a screen above, below is Nintendo's unique cross and AB Jian, at the bottom is the select and start buttons. Qi Peng went to the counter and took two GB down and handed one to me.
GB in my hand, it feels very thick, I pressed the button a few times, it feels very good, very pressed. Qi Peng handed over another cassette, I was at a loss, and he had to help me insert the cassette into the GB game console.
"I still remember the first time I touched the GB, at that time I had a pirated fc, called Xiaobawang, when I first turned on the GB, all the characters became smaller, squeezed into this small screen, that magical feeling. How exciting it is to be able to play anywhere at any time. This is the high-tech of our time. Qi Peng said with some nostalgia.
Just turned on, this screen is worse than I thought, the ultra-low resolution and single color made me feel a little confused.
The game that Qi Peng picked for me was Pokémon Red, which was the work of the first generation of Pokémon. Pokémon has become popular in our time, and now Pokémon is also a VR game.
After playing for a while, I felt bored, and Qi Peng was not reluctant. He put down the console and said, "I like to come here and pick a favorite game and play it from the earliest generation to generation to generation." From the black and white screen at the beginning to the color screen, from the mosaic at the beginning to the ultra-clear picture quality at the back, and then to the current VR, it is like witnessing the development history of the game step by step. Every experience I have now reminds me of the shock that each of their developments has brought to me in the past. It feels so lucky to have witnessed Nintendo along the way. Qi Peng sighed with nostalgia.
Then I was forced to accompany Qi Peng from the earliest generation to the current generation, and I really felt like I had witnessed the development of the game.
"There's an arcade club next door, go play two King of Fighters 97?" Qi Peng proposed.
"No, it's almost time, it's time to sleep." I refused.
"Then let's see my latest movie tomorrow."
In our time, the dream world has done the same thing as reality. Many movies are shot in dream worlds, which saves a lot of resources. So making movies has also become something that everyone can do, but only movies that have been reviewed and have a standard score can enter the theaters. In addition to making movies, being an actor in the dream world has become the choice of more people.
Tomorrow night, I'm back in dreamland. At Qi Peng's strong request, Li Wei and I both went to the cinema to see his latest work. Li Wei sat in his place holding a bunch of snacks. We have chartered the entire movie theater, and the price of chartering in the dream world is also very cheap, but some people like the crowded atmosphere and do not charter the venue, while those who like to enjoy it alone or watch it freely with a few friends generally choose to charter the venue.
In the middle of the movie, Qi Peng suddenly stood up.
"Look, I'm coming out soon, there's a frontal close-up."
"Presumptuous, dare to be rude to Your Majesty." I saw a eunuch shouting at the top of his voice.
"Presumptuous, General Ben talks to His Majesty, and it's your turn to talk more." The general's sword waved, and the eunuch fell to the ground. Qi Peng sat down slowly.
"Qi Peng, wow, your acting skills are not bad."
I looked at the eunuch who fell to the ground and praised.
"Of course!" Qi Peng patted his chest and said.
"But I always feel that for your few minutes, watching two hours of movies is a little worthless." Li Wei said.
"Actually, I came here today to discuss something with you. I feel like the atmosphere here is more suitable for talking about this. Qi Peng said with a mysterious expression.
"What's the matter?" Li Wei was a little curious.
"If I want to make a movie, I will let you and Qiu Yu be the protagonists."
"What! Do you want me and Li Wei to be the hero and heroine? I said in surprise.
"yes, yes, it must be interesting." Li Wei's eyes lit up.
"By the way, do you know what it takes to make a movie?" Qi Peng asked suddenly. I rolled my eyes, is such a director really reliable?
Li Wei patiently explained: "You can buy a basic version of the film production software, which is only a few thousand yuan." Not only do you have a large number of costumes, scenes, and props inside, but you can also design your own costumes, scenes, and props. There are also a variety of NPCs that can be used, such as vendors selling things, soldiers. You can also customize the language for NPCs, actions, etc., and there are various special effects that can be used. If you feel dissatisfied with these and don't know how to make them, you can also download the ones made by netizens, of course, some of them are also charged. There are also detailed tutorials and dedicated AI coaching, how about it? Convenient. However, because it is a normal version, there are also some problems, such as the NPC's expression is relatively stiff and there are fewer command actions. By the way, this software can also be used to make VR games. ”
"How do you know so much?" Qi Peng and I were both shocked.
"I bought it before to make a VR game." Li Wei explained.
Just do it, the three of us spent about three months, and for these three months, we spent almost all of our time in the dream world in this software, and finally completed the first work.
"The story is good, but the shooting technique is still too simple. The portrayal of the characters is also too rough. So I only got a one-city broadcast right. "I spoke out about the results of the film review.
Because the cost of shooting a movie in the dream world is too low, it also leads to the fact that the threshold is too low, and almost everyone can shoot a movie, so the movie needs to pass the review before it can be broadcast, not only to review whether there is any illegal content, but also to review whether the movie is good-looking, and the score that passes the review is divided from high to low as a broadcast right that can be released in the entire dream world, a country broadcast right that can be released in a country in the dream world, and a city broadcast right that can only be released in a city in the dream world.
Obviously, he only obtained the lowest level of broadcast rights, but Qi Peng was very happy.
When it was time for our film to be released, we were once again chartered. This time, Qi Peng watched his movie quietly until the end of the movie.
At the end, Qi Peng actually shed tears, he muttered to himself: "I used to be an unwilling ordinary but ordinary person, every day I wake up, almost no change, no waves, a day without waves, with a salary of seven or eight thousand a month, living the same day every day, like this After twenty years, I still can't get used to it, but I can't get used to it, what can I do, life is like this, there is not so much wonderful." I have resigned myself to my fate, and in this life, I am not destined to get many things. For example, an adventure to save the world, a completely different world, a group of partners who share life and death. But you know what? I went to a university I never went to, I stepped on top of the world, I saw thousands of miles of ice, I even saw many landscapes that I didn't have in this world, and I saved many worlds. Now he has not only become an actor, but also made movies. All of this, with you by my side, I don't feel illusory. ”
At this moment, I suddenly thought of my encounter with Li Wei.
It was in a game called Real Universe, which was developed through the shooting of astronomical telescopes and the speculation of astronomers. The main thing is that it is as real as the real universe.
At that time, the game was already cold, and for several years, I was the only player left to wander through the universe in my own spaceship. Until one day, a new player arrived. She is Li Wei, she found that there is still a single player like me in this game, and she found me in the vast universe. Come to my spaceship as a guest.
Looking four times in my spaceship, she exclaimed, "Wow, you're the only player left in this game." ”
"After all, this game has been out for five years, and it focuses on the real universe, and there is nothing playable." I said lightly.
"Is there anything interesting about this game?" Li Wei asked curiously.
"Europa has a hundred kilometers of ice on it, and you can skate." I replied.
"Anything else?" She came interested.
"There is a star in the constellation Gemini called Beihe II, and it is a blue star."
"And there's more."
"There is a diamond planet in the constellation Sagittarius, fifty light-years from Earth, which is blue-green. K Cancer is three times larger than the Sun and is all gold on the surface. A black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy can swallow everything. ”
"Then what are you dissatisfied with?" She asked, looking at me in a somewhat low voice.
"None of this is true. I wanted to be an astronaut and I wanted to see it all with my own eyes, and I failed. I bowed my head.
"It's very difficult to be an astronaut." Li Wei said.
Yes, even in our time, technology has developed so much, it is very difficult to become an astronaut.
But then she said, "But aren't you an astronaut now?" It's a dream where you can do whatever you want. There are ten miles of spring breeze, snow, stars and seas, and a group of people who play with you, go crazy with you, see the world with you, and do stupid things with you. How can you think that all this is illusory? This is the world we have created, and I think it's beautiful and real. ”
This is the dream world.
