Chapter 6: The correct posture for talking to NPCs
Walking out the door, Yue Qiang was once again amazed by the extremely realistic picture of this game. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
As a hardcore stand-alone gamer, Yue Qiang not only likes to play games, but also has a strong interest in the physics engine used in the game, the fineness of the graphics, the balance of the game, and the random algorithm, etc., and these factors can also reflect the seriousness of the game team in game production. In other words, if the details are really good, then in the big picture, where is the game going to be bad?
The moment he walked out of the house, Yue Qiang seemed to have an illusion. It seems that I have really entered the world of ancient China.
Adjust the viewing angle directly upwards to see the long blue sky and white clouds; Returning to the head-up perspective, you can see the grass and trees moving with the wind, several NPCs in the village are busy working, the NPCs planting grain are threshing wheat, the NPCs storing ice are checking the ledgers, and the blacksmith across the house is seriously striking iron. He didn't know how to describe the graphics, and if he had to use a slightly more technical word, it would be safe to say that he couldn't find any traces of "textures" in the game's visible range.
It's a scary thing to find no trace of "game textures", which means a huge amount of computation and a terrifying game capacity.
Yue Qiang clearly remembers that in an old first-person shooter CS, there is a whirling scene when the character dies. He vividly remembers that when the character dies, he can even see the pixels on the ceiling texture.
Now, he couldn't find any trace of the game's "textures", let alone see pixels. Even when he deliberately operated the character to press the X key to squat down and observe the ground carefully, he had to admit that even in the macro state, the soil effect of the ground was very realistic, and he could even see the ant hole not far away, and there were ants carrying insect corpses next to it. This...... Is this a game effect that can be made with textures?
Suppressing the shock in his heart, Yue Qiang began to plan his game ideas. Now it's clear that this is a game that goes beyond the limits of imagination in many ways. But at the end of the day, it's still a game, and as it stands, it's almost impossible to be an online game, with more than 90% of the possibilities of a single-player game.
Since it is a single-player game, there are rules to follow.
The game is quite old-fashioned, which means that this is a quasi-domestic single-player game, and as long as it is a domestic single-player, there is one thing that is inevitable - to promote the plot by talking to NPCs.
Domestic stand-alone games emphasize the plot, which is almost a recognized axiom. Although there are too many weird things about this game, the basic general direction should be the same. Yue Qiang thought about it in his heart, but his eyes carefully observed the surrounding environment.
He saw the blacksmith on the other side of the house again, and thought to himself: It's you, let's talk first, and see what interesting information can be obtained.
Manipulate the arrow keys to move the character to the blacksmith. As the distance got closer, he could deeply feel the burliness of this blacksmith, the muscles on his arms, the thickness of his character's thighs, and the bronze complexion, giving people a very strong feeling.
Yue Qiang didn't directly left-click on the blacksmith to talk to him like he did in ordinary games, but first right-clicked very carefully to check his status. He can't miss every opportunity to learn about the game and test his conjectures.
Character Name: Blacksmith Tan Xiong
Occupation: Blacksmith (previous occupation unknown)
Strength: 25 (This is a beefy guy)
Constitution: 16 (He seems to have had some kind of illness, and his constitution is a little weak)
ļ¼ļ¼ ļ¼ļ¼ļ¼
Skill:
ļ¼ļ¼ ļ¼ļ¼ļ¼
ļ¼ļ¼ ļ¼ļ¼ļ¼
When he saw the word skill, Yue Qiang secretly said in his heart: Here, the main dish is here.
If attributes are the foundation of a game character, then skills are the key to fully exerting the potential of various attributes, the basis of combat, and even the key method of defeating the strong with the weak. In the past single-player games, NPCs other than skill trainers were not only skilled, but even attribute values were rare. And this blacksmith Tan Xiong, who just went out, has two skills, or is it based on "? " appears in the status bar. This of course shows the strength of the game database, but more importantly, it implies that the player should have some way to obtain skill information, or even learn skills.
Yue Qiang had a hunch that these two skills of the blacksmith should be real combat skills, and they could never be ordinary iron-striking skills, or forging skills of a life-like trading nature. The reason for this is the prompt of the system:
Occupation: Blacksmith (previous occupation unknown)
The system doesn't make meaningless prompts. That being said, then it is quite possible that this is hidden, to "? "The skills that appear in the form are related to the previous occupation of blacksmith Tan Xiong. And about the system to hide the information, that is, to ? Yue Qiang also has some relevant guesses, I am afraid that the system will only open the relevant hidden information after he obtains the relevant "information", especially after the important information.
It's as if he had repeatedly talked to Mr. Chen Zihan before, and got the opportunity to learn "Ghost Valley Arithmetic". Although I can't learn because of the lack of Taoluo value, because I got the information of "Taoluo value", I saw Chen Zihan's status bar, and a row of attribute values was unlocked.
From this point of view, getting as much critical information as possible is the foundation for moving forward in this game world.
With the idea confirmed, Yue Qiang's need to talk to NPCs became even more urgent. And he realized that in this game, I'm afraid he can't be like an ordinary domestic single-player game, and then hold down the alt key to quickly skip the dialogue and go straight to the battle.
With a cautious attitude, tap the blacksmith dialogue with the left mouse button.
With a realistic real-time feedback system, there is no dialog box below the blacksmith. I saw the blacksmith Tan Xiong glance at Yue Qiang with a contemptuous look, and a line of Song characters directly appeared in the picture of the game: Blacksmith Tan Xiong looked you up and down with contemptuous eyes.
It's kind of interesting.
Yue Qiang left-clicked on Blacksmith Tan Xiong again, but this time there was still no dialog box. The Song character that appears in the picture becomes: The blacksmith still doesn't pay attention to you, but the hand wielding the hammer is getting harder.
Yue Qiang just wanted to continue clicking on Blacksmith Tan Xiong to see what changes would be made to the hints that appeared on this screen. Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he let go of the mouse violently.
Fortunately, the response was prompt......
At this moment, Yue Qiang remembered the three bruises on his head. You know, according to inference, the basic attributes in this game are twice as high as in the real world, and even a powerless teacher Chen Zihan can beat himself with a ring ruler, not to mention this blacksmith Tan Xiong, whose strength is as high as 27. Thinking of the prompt just now that "Blacksmith Tan Xiong's hammer swung harder", Yue Qiang was shocked into a cold sweat, and there were three bruises on his head when the ring ruler hit his head, and the hammer hit his head......
Yue Qiang had no doubt that this was going to happen, and until now, he hadn't found any option to save the file in this game. Before you figure out the routine, be careful.
So now, how do you talk to this NPC?
Blacksmith Tan Xiong was right in front of Yue Qiang, sweating like rain of iron, each hammer movement did not change in the slightest, the direction, angle, and strength were completely the same. Can this be understood as the laziness of the game's production staff, or the strength of this blacksmith Tan Xiong, who can easily control the heavy hammer and achieve the limit of accuracy?
Yue Qiang looked at this NPC's sweaty appearance, and suddenly his mind opened and he thought of a way.
When he went out, he carefully observed this place, and on the other side of the street, there was a shop that stored ice.
Yue Qiang operated the figure to leave the blacksmith for a while and ran to the front of the ice shop. The NPC who guards the shop is a proprietress who is young and beautiful, and with realistic costumes, it has a unique charm.
Left-click on her profile picture. A dialog box appears below the beautiful proprietress below:
Gong lost Shaoyang: "Isn't this the son-in-law?" It's a rare sight! Why, instead of sleeping in the house on this hot day, what are you doing in my father-in-law's shop? ā
It seems that this character doesn't mix very well in the village. This is still the case where 8 attributes are clicked to the charm...... Yue Qiang thought like this, and the conversation with the beautiful NPC proprietress continued, and an option box appeared below, it seemed that he had to make his own choice: say 1 or say 2.
[1: From now on, my son will be angry and strong, share his father's worries, and kill the enemy for the people, so he will go out to inspect. ć
[2: It's hot in summer, and it's hard to stand thirsty, so I'll come here to get a bowl of ice to eat. ć
According to the mentality of the average player, it is definitely to choose 1 to improve the favorability with the NPC. But Yue Qiang now has a more urgent need, so he chose 2.
Yue Qiang: "Miss Gongyi, the summer is hot, and I can't stand thirst, I'll come here to get a bowl of ice to eat." ā
Gong Shaoyang went into the cellar, took a bowl of cold ice, and brought it out: "Master Yue, hey, if you are not greedy for pleasure like you are now, but work for the people like your father, it would be good." ā
It seems that the plot is set up, and his character should be a rich son who is not enterprising, and maybe his father is still a small prince of a fief.
Yue Qiang ordered the bowl of ice, selected the "charge" option, and turned to leave. The beautiful NPC proprietress didn't say anything more, but let out a nice sigh. Yue Qiang suddenly realized that when he first entered the game, it was a wise choice to give all of his own dominance attribute points to "charm".
Obviously, the value of the "charisma" attribute affects the attitude of NPCs towards themselves. If your charisma value is still 7 points, it will definitely be difficult to move an inch in this world with an average attribute of 20 points.
Yue Qiang clicked on the items in the system bar, and in addition to a completed "Analects" and a gray unreadable "Guigu Arithmetic", there was also a third item "A Bowl of Ice".
Item description (a bowl of ice): Made by Gongyi Shaoyang. Skilled in civil engineering, he stores ice in specially built and elaborate cellars to ensure that the ice does not melt even in the hot summer months.
He operated the character and walked back to the blacksmith shop and came to the blacksmith Tan Xiong's side. Instead of rushing to click on the character to talk to him, he opened the inventory and right-clicked on the item (a bowl of ice).
System prompt: You give a bowl of ice to blacksmith Tan Xiong.
System Prompt: Blacksmith Tan Xiong used an item (a bowl of ice)
System Prompt: Blacksmith Tan Xiong looks a lot cooler.
System Prompt: Blacksmith Tan Xiong's eyes have become much kinder when he looks at you.
Yue Qiang quietly looked at the system prompts one by one. As an aging single-player gamer, it's essential to find out what every item in your game is for. He had no doubt that he had spent a lot of time turnaround, and that the attempt to gain the blacksmith's favor would fail. What he was waiting for was the next prompt from the system, the communicative function he had been guessing.
Sure enough, after four bland system prompts, a blue-colored text appeared:
System prompt [green]: Since you have successfully changed the favorability of two NPCs towards you, you can now turn on the "dialogue system", is it open?
That's right, you're the one you want!
Yue Qiang slapped the keyboard excitedly and stood up in front of the computer desk.
