Chapter 1 It's dark in front of you, it's all a routine
"OK, finally put the delay on. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Aesop, who was sweating profusely, let out a long breath and couldn't help but smile with satisfaction as she looked at the carefully built game warehouse in front of her.
Aesop, male, single, 24 years old, a typical Chinese ** silk, the only less typical seems to be his name. The name was given to Eso by the director of the orphanage, and it is said to have encompassed the old man's high expectations. However, the ghost knows if it is not, anyway, with this very meaningful name, Aesop walked out of the orphanage in a joke, and finally took up a very promising job - librarian. Considering the prerequisites for the death of his parents, he originally had the opportunity to become a martial arts master or something. Unfortunately, he was only in a small and inconspicuous library, mainly engaged in the maintenance of the collection and the collection of information.
As a result, Aesop failed to embark on the great path of his predecessors, but instead devoted his limited leisure to infinite games, and online games became an important way for him to interact with others. Even so, for a long time, Aesop did not and did not plan to include the game career in his life plan, and his personal level was still secondary, mainly because he was lazy and used to it, and he really couldn't bear this career that required both skill and hardship.
However, all this was shaken in front of Guanghua International's "Hero".
Guanghua International is a multinational company in China famous for its black technology, and has been committed to the research and development of super intelligent brains based on quantum computing and neural networks. The year before last, Guanghua International and several major countries simultaneously launched the online game "Hero", which is built on the brain and is known as the "second world". Such a tall black technology is only used in games, and there are naturally complaints from all walks of life. The official explanation is that "Hero" not only shoulders the glorious and arduous frontier topic of "world simulation", but also uses the latest biosynchronization technology to completely eliminate the drawbacks of number theft and trumpet, while undertaking the important mission of brain domain development, which can be called a model of sustainable development with two birds with one stone.
Of course, it sounds cool, after all, "appearance restoration" involves personal privacy, and "brainwave intervention" involves consciousness protection, even if the technology has been repeatedly verified, the major countries have also sworn to give guarantees, and all sectors of society are still skeptical and wait-and-see. Guanghua International seems to have expected it, and it is very bold to recruit volunteers from all over the world to launch a whole year of public beta, while testing the system itself, it shows the world in real time the safety and integrity and endless charm of this game - the extremely bored Aesop dared to participate in this public beta, and it was at this time, like most people, he was deeply shocked by "Heroes".
In fact, to say that the game setting itself,Compared with many excellent online games in the past, it is not particularly outstanding,Different continents、Multifaceted,Humans、Elves、Orcs、Races such as demons,As well as health、Mana、Physique、Strength、Agility、Intelligence attributes,All are familiar routines。 What is really refreshing is the "world simulation".
The so-called "world simulation" not only refers to virtual reality, but also involves many other aspects, the first of which is artificial intelligence. The "aborigines" of the hero world, in addition to low-level monsters and beasts, are relatively incompetent, high-level monsters and NPCs have rich emotions and intelligence, which not only affects the player's interaction, but also affects the combat and mission system. For example, the previous high-output hatred mode is meaningless in front of the vast majority of bosses in the hero world, and the tasks released by NPCs have become unique and diverse, and even the task rewards will change according to the NPC's mood and even the player's personal factors, and the long-term "brush dungeon" has become a thing of the past. In fact, at the beginning of the open beta, many players, especially hardcore professional gamers, were planted by inertial thinking. Funnily enough, one player was disgusted by NPCs because he looked too much to affect the city's appearance, and finally gritted his teeth to get plastic surgery, which shocked the circle of friends for a while.
On the player's side, the operation is no longer a simple choice of instructions, the system is certainly assisted, and the personal response is more essential, which brings a sense of real-time and substitution, which can be described as hearty, and soon dilutes the initial rustiness, and because the brainwave synchronization drives the operation of the brain itself, it makes the player more deeply integrated into the free mode in the experience - this is why Guanghua International dares to boast of "brain domain development" Haikou.
In addition, this free simulation is also reflected in the profession. Unlike tradition, there is no fixed class choice for players to enter the world of heroes, and the game only randomly assigns attributes and talents. And "talent" is not only the special ability that is born with it, but also the growth of the player's character. To put it simply, some players may increase their strength each time they level up, and some increase their intelligence more, even if there is a balance of free attribute points, in the long run, there will still be a big gap, plus the skew of starting attributes and natural abilities, which forces players to engage in certain professions.
Of course, if you have a lot of talent or personality enough, you have to work part-time or even full-time, it's not impossible. However, manpower is sometimes poor, and in the end, whether it is a full-time master or a garbage role is not something that can be solved by two sentences of "counterattack". But in general, compared to the "natives", the players who are called the "chosen ones" have a halo on their heads after all, and they are higher than the vast majority of aborigines in terms of starting attributes and future growth. However, the aborigines are deeply rooted and powerful, and they themselves have many strong people. In fact, most of the time, players will have to learn some skills from the natives, and what is better than the natives in the setting is really the potential of the explosives.
Generally speaking, when the player reaches level 10, they will be teleported to the main cities through the "Sanctuary" in the Novice Village, where they will enter various academies to learn vocational skills along with the elites of the aborigines. During this period, players can not only hold each other's teams, but also make friends and even hire and recruit the elites of the aborigines to form their own forces. At level 20, the career direction is almost set, and after level 30, the heroes who have grown up can turn on the summoning ability, use the accumulated resources to summon various racial troops, take their men and horses, or conquer the Quartet, or open up business. It is worth mentioning that, like attributes, this summoning is also tied to a talent and occurs randomly. It's a pity that there is no paid option yet, even if players actually have a mountain of gold and enter the world of heroes, they can only stare and try their luck. For this reason, a group of enthusiastic banknote players and studios expressed their dissatisfaction, but Guanghua International rejected the delusion with only one sentence of "truly feel the second spring of fate".
Open and fair, it seems that "Hero" is like a great game. However, anyone with a little brain can see that once the game is officially operated, the avant-garde technology enriched by the rich plot will be crazy eye-catching and gold-absorbing, and in today's virtual property is protected by law, under the premise of the intervention of major powers, it is completely a matter of time before the game opens up for real currency exchange. At that time, whether it is gold mining or resource trading, it will inevitably bring a huge financial impact, and Guanghua International, which enjoys the huge profits, will not be able to change the essence of this game.
It is precisely because of this that Aesop, who is addicted to the world of heroes, has a dream of enjoying the "second spring" while using his open beta experience to make a fortune - although the librarian is very promising, it is a pity that Aesop has no ambitions, and his biggest wish is to have a car and a house, and get his mother-in-law, so there is no suspense in choosing this more "money-oriented" direction at the moment.
Since the open beta was conducted in a specially divided independent area, the data could not be brought into the official game, and as a reward and reward, Isolt got a high-end game warehouse at present, with backup power, life support, and security precautions, which can be said to not only save a lot of money, but also solve the starting problem of his new professional gamer. However, there is another egg-breaking problem that all pro gamers, including him, face - the time limit.
As a "healthy game", "Heroes" has set an uncompromising time limit for going online, once it is online for more than 16 hours in a 24-hour period, it will be warned, and if it is warned three times, it will be forced to go offline. Of course, the time setting of the game itself is still very scientific, the speed ratio between reality and the game is 1:2, and most aborigines will rest at night, which not only saves system resources, but also gives professional players who live in the world of heroes a large margin, according to the "7/8 hours online + 5/4 hours of sleep" mode, theoretically can be perfectly synchronized. Unfortunately, theory is theory after all, and the "world simulation" of the hero world determines the real-time nature of the event, which means that the task waits for no one.
As a result, the resourceful Guanghua International came up with a compromise strategy of "three-day delay", that is, when the system confirms the corresponding event, players will be allowed to temporarily skip the limit and provide up to three days (six days in the game) to complete.
As a result, the witty plug-in developers quickly threw out the "delayed plug-in" - to put it simply, it is to exploit the loophole of "three-day delay" and give false signals, so that leveling madmen can brush levels and resources without dying. As an enterprising young man who is interested in opening up the "second spring", Aesop is naturally as good as a stream, and he did not hesitate to buy a set of "artifacts". What made him complain was that these second-tier dealers who sold plug-ins didn't provide door-to-door service. Fortunately, things are not complicated, and Aesop followed the instructions and finally installed and debugged the timer before the official start of the service.
Now, everything is ready, and he is about to embark on the broad road of buying a house and a car to hook up with a girl!
"In ancient times, a devastating demon god war broke out in Amara, and the protracted world-shattering war divided the world, bringing the end of the age of the gods, but also bringing the rise of mortals in the world. Time flies, and the mortals who live in front of you have created a prosperous civilization, but the seeds of arrogance have gradually sprouted, and the world has fallen into a fratricidal chaos, and the ancient gods who have long disappeared in the long river of history are quietly restless. The gods who have ruled the age of magic have finally wielded the power in their hands, and the Chosen One has descended into this world, and fate awaits you......"
After a period of vicissitudes of life, Aesop passed the body scan with ease, completed the certification and synchronization of the brainwaves, and then directly selected the Terran with his real name, and settled in the Dongwen Continent, where the Huaxia players were in the early days, and then resigned themselves to fate.
According to the instructions, this is the time to start the delay. Isolt hurriedly tried it, and found that the system was connected normally, so he activated the delay plug-in without hesitation - the sharp pain hit in an instant, and he didn't come back to his senses, but he felt that the world was spinning, and he suddenly lost consciousness......
