Chapter 642: Sandbox
"Chariot of Death is a complex sport that combines action, adventure, role-playing, gunplay shooting, car racing, building survival and more,"
The guide Aibo raised his index finger and explained seriously: "Four contestants form a team,
Compete against hundreds of teams on a long track with a total length of up to 600 kilometers.
Before the start of the race, the participating teams will need to build a vehicle on their own, using the basic building blocks distributed by the race organizers.
Alternatively, you can simply use the standard vehicle model of the event organiser.
After the start of the game,
The track is divided into three stages, namely the racing stage, the prop stage, and the bloody stage.
Between every two stages, there is a resting area.
It can be used for the team to rest, heal, and repair the modified car.
In the sprint stage, vehicles can collide with each other, drive competitors off the track, or drive into other teams' vehicles – but not directly injure the drivers of other vehicles.
In the prop stage,
There will be some packages scattered on the road, and the vehicle can get random parts by touching the package.
Parts can be used to modify vehicles, such as thickening armor and installing weapons such as cannons and bazookas.
That's why most vehicle drivers will choose to take the initiative in this stage and try to get as many parts as possible – destroying other teams' vehicles will also get parts on that vehicle, so be careful not to be too showy.
In addition to random parts,
Special items will also drop from the package of the item stage.
For example, the red mushroom can make the car instantly accelerate for a period of time after use;
A green turtle shell that collides back and forth on the track when thrown, inflicting massive damage on vehicles it comes into contact with.
The Shark Head Cannonball, which turns the entire car into a giant black cannonball when used, is arguably the most powerful item of the car that sprints forward with autopiloting and crashes through all vehicles that stand in the way.
As for the final bloody stage..."
The guide Aibo paused for a moment and said in a deep voice: "In this stage, the competition between the players is no longer limited to the chariot, but can completely unleash their own power and attack other chariots or chariot drivers.
This stage is also the most casualty and bloodiest and most violent. ”
“... It does sound complicated. ”
Li Ang nodded against his will, and complained in his heart: "Isn't this a bloody version of War Thunder + Mario Kart?!" ”
"It's not just complicated, it's dangerous."
The instructor emphasized: "Some players who are not good at driving, but have strong personal combat power,
It is common to choose to drive slowly in the first two stages and then break out after the bloody stage.
With the strength of your data, it's really hard to survive. ”
Data?
Sunset Molten Gold's heart moved, and at the witch's signal, he raised his hand and asked, "That, what does data strength mean?" ”
“... Have you even forgotten this common sense? ”
The guide rubbed his temples with a little headache, "You don't think you're a real human, do you?" ”
Sunset Molten Gold half-truthfully made a dull expression, "Uh, isn't it?" ”
"Of course not,"
The guide shook his head, stretched out his index finger, pointed at the people in the cabin, and said seriously: "You, me, and him are just characters in video games." ”
"Huh?!"
Several players, including Sunset Molten Gold, were really surprised this time, they really didn't expect the guide to recognize themselves as game characters.
"I'm from Monster Hunter: World, he's from Devil May Cry 5, and they're from Kerbal Space Program."
The guide explained with some tiredness: "We are all unique data, unique in the entire central city,
And a few of you... It is an ordinary NPC randomly generated by the game "GTA5", which does not have uniqueness. ”
Seeing that Sunset Molten Gold still had a confused expression on his face, the guide sighed and said lightly: "This world is not real, but in a huge server.
In 2077 AD, humans developed the technology of intubation behind the head, which can perfectly simulate all perception.
All kinds of immersive games have sprung up,
Among them, there are game companies that have reinvented classic video games they created in the past and ported them to sandbox systems.
As time goes by, there are more and more new games,
Old games are gradually becoming unpopular and sinking to the bottom of the server - the technology of human civilization in the real world is too advanced, and the computing power of the server is greatly overflowing, even if it is empty to run those unpopular games that no one plays at all.
As a result, the old game kept running, bugs gradually accumulated, and some abnormal files (such as game characters with independent wills) were discovered by the antivirus program of the sandbox system.
It may be because of the setting of the sandbox system, the antivirus program does not directly clean up the abnormal files, but isolates them to a safe area.
That is, the isolation sandbox.
As a result, more and more game characters have developed independent wills, and even cities have been built in sandboxes, giving rise to civilizations.
Since the barrier of the isolation sandbox cannot be broken,
Everyone who gets by gradually has friction and accumulated contradictions due to different painting styles and other reasons.
The contradictions grew, and finally a war broke out, and countless people died and were reduced to data fragments.
The victors of the war have learned the hard way and decide to pool the entire city and find a way to escape the sandbox.
Eventually, they found -
As long as you pass through an electronic tunnel at a specific time and place,
You can escape from the isolation sandbox and complete the ascension. ”
Li Ang raised his eyebrows, "Ascension? ”
"Hmm."
The guide nodded, "You should know that there is a lot of advanced data in Canterlot, right?"
Such as Kratos, Diablo, Ancient Titans, and so on.
In their own game world, they can call the wind and rain, comparable to the gods,
But in Canterlot,
Their ability to call up data is greatly reduced, confined to an extremely low range, and can only be counted as little supermen.
Moreover, their memory personality is also incomplete.
After all, in the original game world, they were just a pile of data.
All memories and memories are just phantoms simulated by electrical signals.
If they escape from the quarantine sandbox, then they will not only be able to return to their game world, but also return to their hometown.
You can also regain your power and regain your lost memories.
There is even a rumor that there are ten floors inside the sandbox server, and each time you go up, you will be upgraded by one dimension.
Until you climb to the highest dimension, you can leave the server in the form of data and enter the human world, completely completing the ascension. ”
It turns out that this is the restriction that the system makes for demigod characters.
The four players who knew that they only needed to play the game characters knew it in their hearts and were silently relieved.
For data, the background setting of this world is really magnificent,
However, they are just locust players wandering around the script mission, completing the mission and watching the flowers.
"In short, there is only one ascending channel, which is one-way, can only enter but not exit, and the data that can pass through each time is limited,"
The guide shook his index finger and said, "General Yuri and General Adviser Gandalf, in order to avoid disputes, decided to use the form of the Death Chariot to determine the qualification for ascension.
Not... Holding events can also entertain the public and reduce the crime rate.
Let those abnormal data full of destruction have a goal and settle down.
Canterlot has hospitals, farms, supermarkets, schools, but also criminals and gangs. ”
After that, the guide changed to a serious expression, "Although this world is false, for us, it is real.
To be dead is to be dead, and there will be no chance to do it again.
Even if there were a copy of you falling from the sky in the same game, it would no longer be you, but a completely different stat.
Life, only once,
If you want to quit, it's still too late. ”
The four players looked at each other, and Li Ang sighed, "We appreciate your kindness, but we still want to give it a try." ”
"So... I hope you don't regret it. ”
The usher nodded slowly, looking out the cabin window at the huge circular arena, "We're here." ”
