Chapter 35: The Tax Collector
"Gold Diggers"
Another game that has left a strong mark on the history of the game, the content is simple, controlling the protagonist to walk on a platform loaded with bricks, or climb up and down ladders to eat piles of gold.
There will be enemies chasing in the game, and the protagonist can bury the enemy by digging a pit in the ground, because the game can't jump, often the player controls the protagonist to dig a pit, but instead buries himself, plus a lot of gold piles are in extremely weird locations, so the difficulty of the game can only be described as "perverted".
Chinese gamers are more familiar with Hudson's FC Gold Digger in 1984, in fact, this game has been around since 1982.
Created by a student at the University of Washington in the United States, it was perfected and released in 1983, and it sparked a craze in the United States thanks to the "built-in editor" that allowed you to write your own levels – and earned the game the second highest pyramid in gaming history.
Like Bomberman, Gold Digger has a total of 50 levels.
FC Gold Digger and Bomberman also have a linkage, when Bomberman clears the level, three English text will appear: "Congratulations, Bomberman has become a Gold Diger, Gold Digger will meet again." "And the Bomberman below will become the main character of the Gold Digger.
This game requires 20 energy points.
Leaving the Gold Rush Chamber of Commerce, Black Jedi excused himself to get the game, and at the same time consciously chose to make.
Back in the "Burning Legion Game Room", my sister Hei Xue hid in the bedroom to play the Hero Altar and said that Master Mu was in the hall, and Hei Jue said hello to the people who played the game, and then returned to the bedroom and waited for the game to be made - now it was time to do another thing: the lottery.
The Bomberman's lottery opportunity was retained, and after yesterday night, the energy of the off-road locomotive had also been restored.
Two entries to the draw.
"Bomberman!"
In the midst of Black Jedi's consciousness, a seven-color turntable appeared, and the hands rotated at high speed on the disk, then slower and slower, and finally stopped.
Orange.
The penultimate difference.
A card appears in the hand.
Bomb Cards!
Item cards similar to Buried Thunder Cards, after use, a bomb will appear, and the card will disappear 10 times.
Put away the card, black again.
"Purple?"
The turntable appeared again, and the character accumulated by the black absolute exploded, and it was actually the first prize, purple!
"I'm dizzy, what is the first prize for off-road locomotives?"
In the storage space of the system, there is one more item.
A locomotive.
That's right, it's an off-road motorcycle locomotive, and the protagonist in the game, the motorcycle ridden is exactly the same, red paint, when the consciousness is focused on it, the system is also intimate, giving the basic information of the motorcycle.
Length: 2100mm
Weight: 120kg
Displacement: 250cc
Top speed: 220km/h
Horsepower: 25 hp
First Name: Unnamed
"How nice it would be to change this first prize to another game!"
I don't even know how to complain, what is the use of this motorcycle?
"Don't underestimate this motorcycle."
The system said to Black Jedi in his mind, "This is not an ordinary motorcycle. ”
"In the game, this motorcycle is driving at high speed, nothing happens to hit other motorcycles, no matter how many times it rolls over, it can continue to drive when it is lifted, and if it is a continuous ramp jump, the height of the final motorcycle jump is enough to reach more than 20 meters."
"From this height, how strong is the impact of falling to the ground? But even if the motorcycle falls, it is still unharmed. ”
"Really?" Kuro's eyes widened.
"You're right! It's a motorcycle equipped with black technology, similar to some of Diablo's gear: it can't be destroyed...... For example, the windshield of a motorcycle, the sniper rifle on the earth, let alone penetrating, the bullet cannot crack at all. ”
"I see." Hei Jue nodded, "Sounds like a bit good, can it be used as a large brick?" 120kg wheeled up and slapped in other people's faces......"
"By the way, what about the oil? Is there also black technology that does not consume fuel? ”
"You think too much, with gold coins, 1 gold coin to fill up once, you can drive for about 3 hours."
"This motorcycle hasn't been named yet...... What is better to call it? Dark red paint ......" Black Jedi secretly thought in his heart, "Red wolf? Forget it, if you do a heavy machine soldier in the future, maybe you will exchange it for a red wolf tank, called Red Yousan? This motorcycle has no horns......"
"Forget it, it's just called a violent motorcycle."
While he was thinking in his heart, Hei Jue suddenly heard a commotion outside.
The 44-year-old town tax officer, Rocca, although his own strength is only level 3, he is the henchman of the mayor of Sanders, that is, he goes to the gold rush chamber of commerce to collect taxes, and the level 10 warlock Catherine does not dare not give him face, after the death of Sargeras, the mayor of the town is the first strong man in the out-and-out way!
He also had 4 guards with him.
Level 5 Great Shield.
This profession can be transferred to a shield guard, but the big shield soldier has two major skills, shield charging and shield defense, and the strength is not weak, and the joint defense of 4 level 5 big shield soldiers is enough to trap a level 7 powerhouse.
Roca is a somewhat bald man, with an ordinary face, but domineering, status determines temperament, the professionals here take on tasks, and their income is subject to taxes, who dares to get along with the tax officer? What's more, there is the mayor behind this person.
The professionals have confidence in the marauder gang, but they are a little weak in front of this tax officer.
Hei Jue looked at the man's side, 4 guards, these town guards were dressed the same, they were all leather armor, but the leather armor of these people was made of fine cowhide tanning, which was much more expensive than the leather armor he bought for Master Mu, and in addition, they also carried a large shield that was one meter high and half a meter wide.
The shields are all made of wood with yellow copper nails on the surface.
The big shield soldier, because of the professional restrictions, can't lift the iron shield or steel shield, and can be promoted to the shield guard.
"Rocca tax officer, what's the matter?"
Hei Jue looked at the balding man, and he could feel that the other party was not coming well.
"Of course, taxes."
Rocca had a smile on his face, but there was a slight irony in the smile, at the beginning, Mayor Sanders and Viscount Sargeras were incompatible, and they had always been at a disadvantage, and when he saw Viscount Sargeras's command, even if it was just a guard and a servant, he had to lower his posture.
But now, the viscount is dead, the original fief and manor have all been divided, and the original son has been reduced to this situation.
It makes you laugh just thinking about it!
"Collect taxes?"
Black Jedi frowned.
Made, there is a saying on the earth in the previous life, people can't escape two things in their lives: death and paying taxes, and when they come to another world, there are still people who want to collect their own taxes? Putting aside the unhappiness in his heart, he said, "Then how to pay this tax?" ”
"I've already investigated your game room, and there are currently a total of 4 games, Kung Fu, Big Bee, Bomberman, Off-road Locomotive, and as for the income - according to the Bomberman's daily subscription, 16 gold coins a day, 4 games, that's 64 gold coins."
"The tax in Lange Town was originally one out of ten, but it is possible that the orc tribe will launch an offensive in winter, so ...... There will be a tax increase for a specific target, nine out of ten, 64 gold coins, you need to pay 58 gold coins, well, this is a tax for one day, your game room is open for 7 days, then you should pay 406 gold coins, I will be generous, erase the change for you. ”
Roca smiled faintly: "So pay the money, 400 gold coins." ”
