Chapter 7: The First Battle against Player Zero
Walking to a gate, Wu Qiong stood sideways and said, "Entering from here, it is the Whale Fall Game Test Platform." Ask Officer Zhuang to put your biochip on the card reader, and once you pass the certification, Officer Zhuang will be able to enter. β
Zhuang Mo finally glanced back at his master, and Huang Peiyu motioned to the little apprentice to enter boldly with his eyes.
Zhuang Mo took a deep breath, he raised his wrist and pasted the biochip buried under his skin to the card reader.
[Test player No. 1, Zhuang Mo, male, 25 years old.] ]
[Game Account, 5382617500]
[Verification passed, welcome No. 1 test players to the Whale Fall game test platform!] ]
[Good luck!] ]
The sweet voice of the female robot took Zhuang Mo all the way to the gateway, the light around her became darker and darker, and red patterns were printed on the dark-toned walls.
The decoration style in the gateway gives people the feeling of passing through a wormhole, as if through this gate, Zhuang Mo will enter another world.
At the end of the gateway was an empty and bright room, the room itself was very large, especially compared to the gate that had just been walked.
Soon, the light in the room changed, and so did the surrounding landscape. The surrounding walls gradually turned into the shape of barbed wire, and the scene where Zhuang Mo was located turned into a cage fight.
It's a fighting game! Zhuang Mo sighed secretly in his heart, it seems that this game is real.
Thinking about what the master explained before coming in, it was easy for Zhuang Mo to lose this game.
Zhuang Mo was looking around at the surrounding environment, and a light and shadow suddenly appeared in front of Zhuang Mo. The light and shadow didn't introduce themselves at all, and they started fighting the moment they appeared!
Zhuang Mo instinctively took a few moves, this light and shadow didn't seem to be difficult to deal with, Zhuang Mo only needed to use a little more strength to knock the other party down.
But keeping in mind the master's teachings, Zhuang Mo didn't really move with the light and shadow, he just saw the moves, and several times he even deliberately showed flaws to the light and shadow.
After more than ten rounds, the two sides were "evenly matched", and neither could lose to the other without success.
The light and shadow stopped moving, and he floated in the air, the outline of his body becoming clearer little by little.
Not long after, a burly man dressed as an Indian chief appeared in front of Zhuang Mo.
"Little cop." The Chief hovers in mid-air, condescendingly scrutinizing Test Player One. "How much do you know about this castle?"
Zhuang Mo is blindfolded, isn't this a fighting game, why are the AI robots still chattering?
A kind smile appeared on the chief's face: "You must not know as much about this castle as I do. I know everyone who has visited this castle and knows everything about them. Including Daochang Wu, who received you today, and Shuang'er, who dated you yesterday. β
Zhuang Mo's face froze, and the AI knew it, but why did he mention Shuang'er during the game?
The chief bent down, looked directly at Zhuang Mo and said, "I also know that your master made you deliberately lose this game. What a naΓ―ve child, you do whatever others say. Have you ever wondered what would happen if you lost this game? β
Zhuang Mo began to panic, this game is not just about fighting. This kind of robot that discusses the road of life with you, Zhuang Mo can't deal with it!
The chief straightened up and slowly analyzed: "You are the first to take the test, but you will definitely not be the last to take the test. What would be the consequences if you lost the game and everyone else did? β
The chief said earnestly: "The first one who looks down on you is the Shuang'er girl. After that, your colleagues will laugh at you and ostracize you. The police department will even revoke your chance to become a regular officer due to reputational concerns. Not only that, but it will be difficult for you to gain a foothold in this world in the future, because no one will look up to a Loser. β
Zhuang Mo looked at the chief's eyes and began to dodge, he had thought about these consequences just now. But the master's order is difficult to disobey, and if he does not follow the master's orders, the consequences are also unbearable for him.
The chief persuaded: "Little policeman, do you know why your master doesn't want you to win?" Because he himself didn't have a chance to compete, he was jealous of you. You're not a full-fledged cop yet, and if you win this test, maybe Whale Fall will be yours.
"And your master, he has nothing to do with you except jealousy. So he doesn't want to see you win, he doesn't want to see you become a better person than him.
"Think about it, once you become the city lord of Whale Fall City, you can get endless wealth, get Shuang'er girl, and that Wu Daochang at the door will also become your subordinate."
Zhuang Mo took two deep breaths, he closed his eyes and silently recited three times in his heart:
This must be a trap!
This must be a trap!
This must be a trap!
But the chief didn't give Zhuang Mo time to settle himself. The chief once again turned into a humanoid light and shadow, and greeted Zhuang Mo with a sharp move!
Zhuang Mo was completely instinctive, and when he saw the light and shadow hitting him, he used all the moves he had learned in the police academy in one go!
In the second round, Zhuang Mo and AI fought a draw again.
While attacking with light and shadow, he disturbed Zhuang Mo's mind with words: "This game is videotaped, don't let others see your vulnerable appearance." If a policeman can't even do the most basic fighting, how can taxpayers keep you such a waste! β
This sentence deeply stabbed Zhuang Mo's sore spot! If he deliberately responded passively, others would see him through the video afterwards that he couldn't make a name for himself with Wang Ba's punch, and it would be impossible for him to continue to mix in the police station in the future.
No one knew that this was a secret mission given to him by Huang Peiyu, and everyone would only think that he was a wine bag and rice bag who couldn't even fight.
"Don't believe what your master says." Light and shadow provoked: "Your master is just using you and using you as a shield. Once you're out of use, he won't admit that he instigated you to lose the game on purpose. β
The tricks of light and shadow are getting more and more ruthless, and Zhuang Mo is also red-eyed! "Although I am a trainee police officer, my fighting skills are no worse than others!!"
Zhuang Mo jumped into the air in one step, and made a ruthless move against the vital point of light and shadow, and the move was fatal!
Light and Shadow's combat value seems to be constantly improving. In the end, the two fought inextricably, and neither could outperform the other in tricks.
At this moment, the sweet and lovely voice of the female robot sounded:
[Test 1 players have thirty seconds left.] ]
[If you can't defeat Player Zero within thirty seconds, Test Player One will lose the Test match.] ]
Outside the field, Huang Peiyu heard this prompt and knew that the matter had been smashed by the little apprentice!
Sure enough, twenty seconds later, the female robot happily announced:
[Congratulations to the No. 1 beta players for their first victory!] ]
After a while, a handsome young man covered in sweat walked out of the gate.
Zhuang Mo's eyes were blank, and he passed in front of the master without squinting.
He was clearly the winner, but he was as if he had suffered a great trauma. He ignored anything, anyone, shuffled his heavy steps and slowly walked away from the test platform.
