Chapter 2: The Miracle Continent
It's July, and it's the height of summer.
Lin Shuai is a cat playing games at home every day, and occasionally Su Yi will ask him to go out to play, but he also refuses, on this hot day, go out and wait to be roasted into sweet potatoes!
It was during this summer vacation that the world-famous network technology giant, Skynet, announced that it had completely mastered holographic technology.
After n years of research and development, the world's first virtual game that can support multiplayer online has been promoted for two years, and "Miracle Continent" is officially open beta.
The Miracle Continent is known as the second real perfect world, which is one-to-one with real time, and players can choose to explore the Miracle Continent in their sleep!
Skynet claims that it will not cause any burden or damage to people's nerves, and when players travel in the Miracle Continent, their brains will quickly immerse themselves in a moderate sleep state, which is at best just a dream.
On July 26th, Skynet will launch one million virtual helmets that can link to games for the first time in first-tier cities!
The long queue was inevitable, and the virtual helmet began to be sold at ten o'clock, and by the time it was Lin Shuai's turn, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.
The distribution of this batch of helmets, as Lin Shuai's roommate, Su Yi did not come to line up with him, because the price of this batch of helmets is 50,000 RMB, and he can afford it, but it means that Su Yi wants to nibble on steamed buns and pickles for half a year, and he wants to have several more girlfriends who are "waiting for an abortion", so he naturally refuses, and he has to keep the money to make a girl.
It's said to be a helmet, but it's actually just something like VR glasses.
It's just that above the glasses, the milky white metal covers, bent into a slight arc, more like a metal hat.
Players can log in to the Internet while wearing a virtual helmet, which is for convenience, allowing players to log in to Skynet's official website and forum to check information when exploring the Miracle Continent.
Of course, Skynet claims to the outside world that the game of the Miracle Continent is completely operated by the intelligent mastermind developed by them, and even their staff cannot have any impact on the operation of the Miracle Continent, so their official website has little information about all the information in the Miracle Continent.
That being said, it's not necessarily how many people can believe it, and you can't control the game you developed yourself, isn't that a fool......
……
When I got the helmet in my hand, I couldn't wait to take out my mobile phone and send a message to Zero first, with a photo of myself holding a virtual helmet, and sent it over.
Lin Shuai felt that a level of training for a profession like Zero would definitely not let go of the game of Miracle Continent.
There is no superfluous nonsense in the message sent by Zero, just a photo.
A slender white hand carries a box containing a virtual helmet.
"Big beauty, you must add my friends to play with me when you enter the game!" I edited the text message and sent it.
The appearance of the characters in the Miracle Continent is shaped according to the appearance of the player himself, and the data that can be adjusted is only 25% of the ups and downs.
That is to say, as long as you are beautiful, you can't cover it no matter how you cover it, Lin Shuai has a YD smile on his face, and when you enter the game, you can always see your face!
For this mysterious zero, Lin Shuai always had a trace of inexplicable feeling, and he also noticed it, but he couldn't tell what it was like, so he let it develop naturally.
"It depends." Zero only replied with three short words, and Lin Shuai knew that this meant that she had agreed. silently said yes in his heart, and hurriedly gave Zero a few "cheap smile" expressions, which can be regarded as interrupting this short contact.
Having said that, if you can buy a helmet, you should also live in a first-tier city in China, and I don't know which city it is in......
Lin Shuai thought about it and sent a message to Su Yi.
Within a moment, Su Yi's phone called. "Wow big guy! You actually have the money to buy a virtual helmet, and you will borrow money if you know it! ”
This was the first sentence that Su Yiyi spoke.
"Alas, too, you are like the ladies in ancient times, you don't go out of the door, and you don't even have a girlfriend, so you can naturally save this money."
This is the second sentence, the black line that makes Lin Shuai head one.
"." Lin Shuai hung up the phone directly.
After a while, Su Yi's text messages were overwhelming, what to upgrade in the game must be refueled and upgraded, take me to fly when the time comes, or you must sum up the secret of rapid upgrade, and teach me when the time comes. Balabala or something......
Lin Shuai didn't bother to pay attention, the Miracle Continent officially opened at eleven o'clock tonight, and he had to go home to prepare, and take out the spirit of staying up all night for two months to become the king!
……
The birth of the Miracle Continent can be regarded as an official sentence for the death of various large and small online games in China.
Some of the 3.5D online games,And between the holographic game,There is no comparison at all,Once the son of heaven is a courtier,There are talented people in the country,The front wave died on the beach,Ximen Qing is green......
Ahem, anyway, it is destined that the league, a game that has been popular for nearly 10 years, will be completely cold.
Lin Shuai doesn't have any special emotions about this, is it just a game, it's cool to play, some people always can't tell the difference between playing games and being played by games.
……
Lin Shuai now lives alone, the house was left for him by his parents, since Lin Shuai just remembered when he was a child, he has not seen his parents much, and has been living in his cousin's house.
So much so that Lin Shuai once thought that he was actually a child in an orphanage and was adopted by his cousin.
After growing up a little bit and being a little sensible, Lin Shuai met his parents a few times intermittently, and then he was sure, Ang, it turned out that he was not an orphan!
In terms of feelings, Lin Shuai is also relatively introverted.
However, before the age of 15, Lin Shuai, who lived under another family every day, was trained far beyond his peers in emotional intelligence, but Lin Shuai was lazy to use this high emotional intelligence to communicate with others.
Lin Shuai didn't know what his parents were doing, but he only knew that he was probably researching in science and technology?
The phone is turned off 24 hours a day, and it can't be reached at all, so they can only wait for them to take the initiative to contact them, and rarely contact them once.
Lin Shuai sometimes guesses that his parents won't be doing research for the state in some secret bases! However, there are no answers.
Since high school, after Lin Shuai left his cousin's house and lived alone, without the constraints of their family, Lin Shuai can be said to be a complete salted fish.
Doing nothing every day, except for video games, nothing can arouse Lin Shuai's interest.
When I was in school, it was not that my sister handed Lin Shuai a love letter and expressed her emotions or something, but it may have been influenced by her parents, Lin Shuai is really not interested in love in reality, but has a soft spot for online dating.
Although every online relationship is quite miserable.
……
The Miracle Continent is made in accordance with the style of online games that are more popular on the Internet.
Skynet claims that the area of the continent in the game is 10:1 the area of the five continents on the earth, which means that the land area in the game is ten times the size of the real world!
In addition to the famous landscape architecture from all over the earth, there are also some designers who conceive them, plus mythical buildings, which form the entire miracle continent.
The world construction in the Miracle Continent is also composed of different regions according to each country and region.
For example, the area occupied by China in the Miracle Continent is Zhongzhou, and players will be born in Zhongzhou as long as they enter the game within the scope of China, which has nothing to do with the nationality or race in reality.
Even if you are from another country, as long as you show the relevant household registration certificate and enter the game for the first time in China, you will always be in the territory of Zhongzhou, and you can only go to other countries in the game until the game opens its borders.
The division of occupations in the game is also designed by Skynet after careful consideration with reference to the background of myths and stories in various countries and regions.
The five starting classes are the same for each region: Warrior, Archer, Mage, Cleric, and Assassin.
And after the player has upgraded his character to level 10 in the game, he can go to the main city career mentor to change jobs.
Each country has a different profession, such as China, in the original two options for the assassin to change classes, there will be an extra option for monks, and it is said that in the later stage, it can be upgraded to the kind in Xianxia novels, where the sword flies and comes and goes without a trace.
There will also be more options for Taoist priests in the mage's transfer options, calling for wind and rain, sprinkling beans into soldiers, and the moves used are also the methods of legendary cultivators.
In Europe, there are also two more options: Templar and Templar, and in Japan, Onmyoji and Shrine Maiden, etc. (ps: The profession of Onmyoji actually originated in China, don't care if I write it blindly!) It is said that everything in Japan originated in China...... )
The story of the Miracle Continent is set 10,000 years after a great war between gods and demons. As the gods of each region die, they leave behind the seeds of their own legacy, which is the profession of these players.
Skynet also announced that there are region-specific hidden professions in each region, and only a very small number of lucky people can get them in the game.
In addition to the players in the Miracle Continent, there are also the inhabitants of the continent that originally "grew" up, that is, the NPCs in the player's mouth.
These NPCs are also like real people, and they will have seven emotions and six desires, such as joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness.
Now that technology is so advanced, it's not surprising that Skynet can do this.
Skynet also emphasized that every NPC in the Miracle Continent is unique! Please be kind to every system character!
If someone maliciously kills the NPCs in the game, the level will be dropped, or they will be expelled from the game directly, and they will never be allowed to log in!
It also shows from the side that NPCs in the game are not invincible and can also damage, but they are almost invincible under the protection of Skynet's rules.
Lin Shuai still has a lot of feelings about the sentence "every NPC is unique".
He had played a Jianghu type online game for a while before, and the NPC characters in it portrayed him in a way that shocked him at the time!
He used to think that the game was just a set of data, so what to take seriously.
But after playing that game, he realized that in fact, NPCs also have feelings! Even if it was made up by the designers of the game company, it also made him feel inexplicable.
Moreover, in the Miracle Continent, it is these NPCs that control the continent, and players still need to rely on the forces formed by these NPCs to survive in the early stage.
In the later stage, players can establish their own gang unions before they have the power to challenge these NPCs, and at that time, the NPC protection law will be adjusted appropriately.
In addition to these five basic classes, there are also a number of subclasses in the game.
Mining and medicine mining are only the most basic level, and each player can learn from the corresponding professional technician for money.
Higher-level cooks, enchanters, or foundries need to find triggers, tasks, etc. before they can change jobs.
In addition, there are gladiatorial arenas in the game, and various leaderboards and the like will only be opened after players meet the conditions.
The in-game currency system is divided into gold, silver, and copper coins.
1 gold coin equals 100 silver coins equals 10,000 copper coins.
The RMB exchange system will be opened a month after the game is officially running, which can be regarded as a fair early development stage for civilian players.
However, Lin Shuai knew that this kind of game would definitely form a black market and underground trading.
Just because gold coins are hard to come by doesn't mean you can't buy them in the early stages.
That's what is roughly introduced on the manual, there is no important information, Lin Shuai swept it a few times and threw the manual aside.
Next, just wait for the Miracle Continent to open at night!
