001. Start the game
Ye Xiao didn't know whether he should be depressed or happy. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
He stayed at home and played games for half a month, and it was rare for him to go downstairs to have a meal across the street, and was hit by a car on the way back.
It's just that he was hit by a car, and what is even more bizarre is that he was also hit and crossed, crossing into a parallel world like the earth, and his soul was attached to an unlucky egg named Ye Xiao.
The parallel world is not human, and there is also the holographic simulation survival horror game that makes players all over the world crazy-"Night Kill", and the "Night Kill" in this world will be officially opened to players for the first time at 8 o'clock tonight.
This made Ye Xiao excited, he was a senior 'killer' character player in "Dead by Night" before the crossing, he played the game for 3 years, and the highest rank of the national server season reached the eighth stage, and he was only one step away from the highest ninth order known as the 'Emperor Slaughter'.
But because he joined the game two years later than other players, and started late, Ye Xiao can be the 'Emperor Slaughterer' in the eighth stage, but it is basically impossible to go one step further and impact the ninth order, and the top ten 'killer' players in the ninth order are all already playing as soon as the game is opened, and they all have two more years of game experience and accumulation than Ye Xiao, so they are naturally stronger.
The fact that he stopped at the eighth order has always been the biggest regret of his gaming career.
Well, now that he has crossed over, he is just in time for the open beta of "Dead by Night", and with his head full of game experience and technology, Ye Xiao believes that he will definitely be able to reach the ninth level this time and become the king of killers in the game!
……
At eight o'clock in the evening, Ye Xiao lay on the bed early and put on a cool silver holographic game helmet.
After the power is turned on, a system prompt appears in my sight:
- Welcome to the game.
- Citizenship information is being detected...... Ye Xiao, male, 21 years old, ID number XXXXXX...... The identity information is bound.
Then, the message fades in, and the screen lights up, frozen in front of a dressing mirror in a brightly lit room.
Ye Xiao chose the character creation option, and immediately, a young man in a white shirt appeared in the fitting mirror.
The holographic helmet has a physiognomy scanning function, which can restore up to 40% of the user's realistic appearance in the game, and the corners of the young man's mouth in the fitting mirror in front of him are slightly raised, and his eyes are bright, although his appearance is not handsome and compelling, but it is not the ordinary and ordinary of the bad street.
- Please give your new character a name.
Ye Xiao typed in the flickering input box: Night Stalker.
- If the name is not occupied, is it used?
After clicking OK, some options to adjust your appearance pop up next to the fitting mirror.
- You are currently creating a 'Survivor' character, you can select the 'Character Switch' option in the bottom right corner to create your 'Killer' character.
"Dead by Night" is a game, each user can play the role of "escapee" and "killer", the main task of the "escapee" in the game is to try his best to escape in the pursuit of the "killer", survive until the successful escape, the main task of the "killer" is to try his best to kill all the "escapees" in the scene.
Usually there will be multiple 'Survivors' in a scene, but there is usually only one 'Killer'.
Ye Xiao before the crossing was the player who mainly played the 'killer' role, and after the crossing, he made a new beginning, so it was naturally easiest to pick the one he was good at to play, and it was easier to stand out among many players.
Ye Xiao switched roles, and after the fitting mirror in front of him rotated in place for a week, the bright scene was transformed into a dim space, and the background music changed from brisk to dull, and the young man in the white shirt standing in front of the fitting mirror became a burly and fierce man with a yin face wearing a tattered linen robe, and his appearance still added 40% similarity, but Ye Xiao's real appearance was basically indistinguishable.
The body shape can be adjusted in the appearance adjustment option next to it, however, the basic body shape and appearance adjustment will not have any impact on the subsequent development of the character, Zhao Peng chose the 'normal' body type, and by the way, he also replaced the tattered linen clothes on his body with a pair of smudged bib pants.
When you click to finish, the view of the fitting mirror begins to move back, revealing the full view of the room you are in.
It was a windowless oppressive room that looked like a basement, and the dim light of the candles projected the burly body of the killer night owl on the bloodstained wall beside it, looking like a ghost.
Next to the fitting mirror is a simple table with the words: Workbench.
The workbench is where the killers use to make 'murder weapons' and 'traps', and now the night owl has no materials and no knowledge of how to make murder weapons and traps, so the workbench can only be idle.
There was also a large wooden chest next to the workbench, which was equivalent to a warehouse, used to store superfluous items that could not be carried, of course, the inside of the box was empty now, and there was no need to check it.
A little later, there was a rusty iron door installed on the wall, Ye Xiao clicked on the iron door, and his vision popped up - 'Add a new game or go to the trading center?' ’。
After Ye Xiao chose to join the game, the game mode selection popped out of his sight, which was divided into: survival mode and script mode.
The former is the most direct and simple killer chase survivor gameplay, the latter is relatively more difficult, usually after the game in this mode starts, the system will insert the player into some scenes with an independent story, let the player play a role in the story, a series of puzzles and adventures, of course, the story content is also inseparable from the theme of the killer chasing the survivor.
In addition, the scenario mode sometimes restricts the use of 'murder weapons' and 'tools' (Survivors' equipment), and even seals away some of the characters' abilities, which usually requires a battle of wits between the killer and the Survivor before they can decide the winner in the game.
"The first game is a little more easy and simple."
Thinking so, Ye Xiao clicked on the survival mode, and the picture went dark again.
After waiting for about four or five seconds, the screen was still lit up, and the sound of thunder and rain came from the audio.
Then, Ye Xiao entered a kind of rotating and overlooking God's perspective, and what appeared in the picture was a cold rainstorm night, a two-story dark house in a dense forest.
Narrator:
'On such a dark and cold rainy night, your villa is accompanied by three passing travelers, and it will take at least two hours for their companions to arrive here to pick them up......
'You thought it was a great sacrifice to the true gods, so you quietly walked out of the jungle where you were hiding, pulled off the electric gate of the villa, and came to the gate......
……
After the camera rotates around the villa, it finally shrinks and freezes in front of the villa's gate, and the night stalker also gains control of his body. With the help of the holographic simulation technology of the helmet, the player's game experience is no different from entering the game world in real life.
"I remember the last time I played the scene of 'Villa Horror', it seems that it was when I first started playing 'Killing Machine' three years ago."
Ye Xiao could vaguely recall his clumsiness in the novice stage, and couldn't help pursing his lips, this expression reflected on the night owl's face, but it showed a hideous expression of toothache.
Standing in the rain for a moment, the rain hit the bare skin of the upper body of the night owl, and there was a chill that penetrated into the bone marrow, but the body of the 'killer' character was not disturbed by these natural factors, they were like a machine, born only for slaughter, cold, cruel, and merciless.
The night owl walked up the steps with heavy steps, his wet palm pressed against the doorknob, and the wooden door immediately made a long 'creak' sound, and he pushed it open from the outside in.
Because the initial 'Survivors' could not confront the 'Killers' head-on, all they could do was to escape, hide, and set up some simple mechanisms to hinder the Killer's progress. So, usually, the Survivor will enter the scene a short time before the Killer to get used to the scene or make some necessary preparations.
At the moment, the three Survivors are hiding in a room in the three-story villa, either together to fight the Night Stalkers, or they may have split up in case something bad happens to the Night Stalkers.
The night owl was not in a hurry, and the first thing he did after entering the door was to get down on one knee on the ground and check the footprints on the ground first.
The power in the villa has been cut off, there is no light source, a black one, but through the lightning light that flashes from time to time when the thunder outside the house flashes, the night owl can clearly see that the marble floor is covered with dirt footprints, which are obviously left by the three survivors, the footprints are very messy, and it is impossible to clearly judge the direction of the survivors.
- System Prompt: Hunting requires the eyes of a goshawk and the nose of a hound. The primary attribute [Perception] has been unlocked.
The purpose of the night owl to do this redundant move is to unlock this [perception] main attribute, "Killing" is different from ordinary online games, there is no strength, agility, intelligence and other conventional attributes division, the game according to different roles, attributes will also be different, each of the two characters has six main attributes.
The six attributes of a killer are: [Trap], [Murder], [Physique], [Psionic Touch], [Camouflage], and [Perception].
The improvement of the main attribute is also divided into six levels, namely: Novice, Expert, Elite, Expert, Master, and Legend.
The higher the attribute level, the more difficult it is to improve, and the legendary level requires a certain amount of luck to improve, Ye Xiao before the crossing is the unstoppable 'Emperor Slaughter' in the eighth stage, and only the two of the six attributes [Murder] and [Physique] have reached the legendary level.
And these attributes will not be directly given to players in the first place, and they usually need to perform a certain action or trigger certain phenomena to unlock them.
The [Perception] attribute that Ye Xiao currently unlocks is mainly used to strengthen the killer's senses, making it easier for the killer to distinguish the traces left by the survivors, and it is easier to hear the sounds made by the survivors when they move, so as to find the location of the survivors.
