Chapter 10 Life is in Motion
Lu Fan knows that many people play games simply to be happy, not a plot party.
During the game, if they encounter various cutscenes and character dialogs, they basically click "fast forward" all the way to skip them.
But Lu Fan is different, he likes to study game plots very much, and he is very omnivorous, and he is not picky about game platforms and game types.
In Lu Fan's view, no matter how poisonous the plot is, the game also has a poisonous charm.
Therefore, even if he plays the kind of "one-knife 9999" garbage page game at the bottom of the "player group contempt chain", he reads the plot with relish, and spits on the poisonous spots in it from time to time.
In short, Lu Fan watched this opening video for a few minutes, and finally understood the meaning.
To summarize it simply and roughly, it seems to be: a bloody case caused by a mineral resource?
Originally, everyone lived well on this planet, united and friendly, and there was no quarrel with the world, but suddenly a meteorite revealed a mineral deposit.
Then the people of the Dark Protoss wanted to mine and get rich, and the people of the Bright Protoss said that this place was the holy land of the ancestors, and they couldn't drive an excavator on the grave, and then the two families fought, and finally the Dark Protoss let the dog that was not tied to the reins come out and bite people, but I didn't expect to play it directly.
If this matter is studied from an economic point of view, it is still a question of the development and ownership of small property rights mines......
When Lu Fan was thinking about these messy things in his mind, suddenly, the black curtain in front of him lit up, and a huge Star Soul God Domain game logo appeared again.
Behind this LOGO, there is a landscape painting with a dynamic background with a wide field of vision.
It is a fantastical scroll, with endless fields stretching out on both sides of the scroll, with the skyline stretching over the mountains and the snow-capped mountains in the distance.
Somewhere in the plains, there was an ancient castle with the banner of the flying dragon, and in the sky above the ancient castle, ancient dragons and various strange beasts soared between heaven and earth, and from time to time they chirped.
An airship is slowly taking off from the castle, and below it, a caravan of landers is slowly moving.
The combination of technological aircraft and fantasy creatures makes the scenery look quite alien and mysterious.
Lu Fan was enjoying the scenery of the dynamic picture scroll, and a transparent prompt box popped up on the screen:
"Please wait, you are about to enter the world of the Star Soul God Domain, and there are still 3 minutes before the server starts."
Lu Fan glanced at the time bar in the upper left corner of the helmet interface - 13:57.
Now, most of the players in the entire Dragon Teng Kingdom are probably focusing on the game Star Soul God Domain, and presumably the game server will be quite crowded by then.
He switched to the external panoramic camera view and found that all the players participating in the open beta were sitting nervously and upright.
Since he was a child, he has participated in the open beta of many online games and mobile games.
Generally speaking, the first few days of the open beta are the most lively, especially the first few hours after the server starts.
Due to the influx of large number of players, it may even cause the server to freeze, so that players will not stop queuing.
For example, some popular online games can even reach tens of thousands of people in the queue on the server.
The reason why players are in such a hurry to enter the server is because they have to race against time, seize various resource points and monster areas, and farm monsters to level up.
RPG (role-playing) games, to put it bluntly, most of them are numerical games, and whoever can occupy more leveling resources in the early stage of the game will be able to come out on top.
Once you take the lead in numerical terms, you can open up all kinds of dungeons in advance, and PK in the wild to abuse vegetables and grab equipment, and others will always be a cut behind.
It is also the so-called one step ahead, step by step.
The combat power of the characters is awesome, and in the game, pretending to be a flirtatious girl, the imperial city PK, and the decisive battle at the top of the Forbidden City, it is naturally easy to capture.
In short, whether you can level up efficiently and seize the pace of development in the early stage is an important factor to distinguish high-end players from novice players.
Lu Fan switched the perspective back to the game, and the countdown on the screen finally entered the countdown stage, and he subconsciously clenched the two operating handles.
"There are still 5 seconds left before entering the world of Star Soul God Domain...... 4 seconds ...... 3 seconds ...... 2 seconds...... 1 second ......"
He swallowed nervously, feeling his palms start to sweat.
It seems that a long time ago, the memories of experiencing the open beta of the game with my dorm buddies in the Internet café next to the university have resurfaced in my mind at this moment.
After the countdown counted, the world around Lu Fan suddenly flashed white, and the scenery between heaven and earth was once again concrete-
A dazzling scorching sun hung high in the sky, the sky was blue, surrounded by an endless blue ocean, the salty and wet sea breeze blew Lu Fan head-on, making his game character's hair flutter in the wind, and from time to time seagulls flew past Lu Fan.
However, Lu Fan didn't have time to take care of this beautiful ocean scenery at this time - he found himself refreshed in mid-air, falling down in a weightless state.
He saw that there were other new players around him, all of whom had their game IDs displayed above their heads.
At this time, a prompt appeared on Lu Fan's left-hand side: Please move the VR handle.
Lu Fan pressed the arrow button on the left handle and found that the character's body was turning horizontally to the left.
Press the arrow button on the right handle and notice that the character's vertical pose begins to tilt.
This dual-wielding handle operation method suddenly made Lu Fan feel that it was a bit like the operation feeling when he drove the first machine of the singer warrior before.
The overall character's perspective is determined by the angle of the player's head movement, for example, if the head is turned to the left, the perspective is twisted to the left.
In other words, the surrounding game scenery has been anchored according to the established coordinates, and such a setting will not cause any vertigo to the helmet wearer.
Now the only doubt is that the character for the Mao game will be in free fall?
However, the game does not take into account this state of the player, and still keeps popping up various key prompts step by step to teach the keys.
It teaches some very basic operations, such as basic opening function interfaces, item interactions, jumping, attacks, skill releases, and the like.
The corresponding button is the plastic button corresponding to the five fingers on the operating handle held by Lu Fan.
Although there are only ten keys in the two-handed combination, more complex operations can be performed with the combination of keys.
For example, the left thumb to the little finger correspond to the five physical keys of ABCDE.
Pressing down at the same time will release a new skill, and pressing down at the same time will release another new skill.
Pressing ABC at the same time will release a skill similar to ultimate, and so on.
Lu Fan looked at the complicated list of operation teachings with a headache, and he didn't know how to describe it.
He even felt that memorizing this combination of keys was more frustrating than memorizing the periodic table and the formulas for various elemental reactions in high school chemistry class.
If it weren't for the multi-day training of the Spirit Task, which gave him agile mental power and memory, I am afraid it would not be so easy to remember.
After some tossing, he finally remembered the operation in the teaching list, but now the problem is-
What's next for him?
Both him, and the other players around him, are in free fall.
Many new players who are slower to get acquainted with the game are even swaying left and right in a confused and panicked manner.
Lu Fan looked at the player IDs around him for a while, and felt that many of them were a little familiar, and after studying for a long time, he found that many people were players sitting on the machines around him.
Just now, when he switched his perspective and looked around, he noticed some of the IDs, so he had an impression of them.
It seems that this game has certain rules for the allocation of player spawn positions. For example, the assignment is based on the IP address.
About a minute after the fall, Lu Fan and all the players around him fell into the sea.
He gripped the handle and controlled the character to thrash and struggle desperately in the water.
Overhead, a tight rhythm sounded from the canopy, followed by a soft female voice:
"Dear players, welcome to the world of Star Soul Divine Domain.
Next, you will face your first test after entering this world.
As we all know, life lies in sports, and the origin of life is a swimming competition.
Sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat!
Next, you'll need to use the game you've just learned to swim to the shoreline.
Players who are submerged in the sea or eaten by sharks in the sea are not yet eligible to venture in the world of Star Soul and will be forced to exit the server and start queuing again.
"Damn, it's so hardcore as soon as you come up? What are the rules of the sand sculpture game? ”
Even through the helmet, Lu Fan could hear the exclamations and roars of the players participating in the test in the entire Internet café.
But now, Lu Fan, who was fluttering in the water, was not in the mood to think about it so much for the time being—because the sharks were already swimming towards here!
