Chapter 004: New Game and Fourth Ability
The nature of liking the new and hating the old, let alone when the new is just starting to start. Shi Songming had planned to stay up late to try out a new game, and it would be better to have a friend with him.
And on the side of "World of Beasts", no one wants to continue to stay up with this unenlightened warrior tank, and the team dispersed in a few words. It is not easy to find a reliable tank at this time, and Shi Songming, who has the intention to retreat, will be busy with his own as soon as he stirs up. I have to say that the game is very enjoyable, and it is not much worse than going to work.
After that, Shi Songming hung the characters in the main city and began to unpack the game package of "100,000 Years of Mythology". The stuff inside is simple, a stack of instructions, some plastic packaging and foam mats are not mentioned. There are only three main components.
One is a holographic helmet, which is like a motorcycle helmet as a whole. The shell is pale blue steel and lined with soft sponge. The position of the windshield is completely obscured. The second is a pair of gloves, thin wires can be felt in the black nylon fabric, and each knuckle has a metal buckle. The third was a metal grip of about thirty centimeters, so rudimentary that it seemed to have been cut from a mop bar. The only feature is that it can be opened and turned into two short ones.
After that, according to the instructions and the secret words of the Narcissus Rider, it takes less than three minutes to complete the networking and the self-test of the whole set of equipment through the small screen on the side of the helmet.
"It should be fine to put on a helmet now, at least I was last time. The Narcissus Knight's whispers kept coming.
"Okay!" Shi Songming replied. While putting on gloves, he sighed: "Someone said: the more technology develops, the more foolish it is at the user level, and it is true." ”
Putting on a helmet, his view completely obscured by a windshield-like screen, and a few experimental dynamic promotional leaflets flashed, Shi Songming adapted to this immersive experience.
This is followed by a glove button test, where you move the fingers of your arm and a virtual pair of hands will do the same on the screen. After passing, you will officially enter the game. As with all similar games, the first step is, of course, to create your character. The characters are all human, and there are no strange races to choose from.
Shi Songming was not obsessed with the appearance of the character, and a few of them immediately coped with it, and then paused on the character's name. When I first came into contact with "World of Beasts", I was at a low point in my life, and not only did I choose the Death Knight, but the name "Ghoul Ed" inevitably felt a little sad. Now the situation is very different, and naturally it has to be changed. Then combine your own surname and heroic dreams, and a name jumps into mind: Stone Guardian.
It's not gorgeous.,It's a bit like a miscellaneous fish NPC.,But the simple and simple feeling makes me like it very much.,That's it.。
Finally, choose the place where the character is born. Although there are more than a dozen options, only one is bright, the rest are either gray or simply empty.
Shi Songming pouted. Since it's a beta version, don't be too picky. Click to select!
In the next moment, the screen went black, and a line of words gradually emerged: a very wonderful game CG.
Shi Songming couldn't cry or laugh, and just wanted to complain a few words, the screen had lit up. Be in a small village from a first-person perspective. The village buildings are mainly made of wooden straw, which is dilapidated and quite primitive. The costumes and hairstyles of the villager NPCs are very simple, and you can't see the background of the era, only the black hair and yellow skin make people feel familiar and familiar. Further afield, you can see farmland, woods, streams and mountains, and this is a small valley in a beautiful setting.
Shi Songming turned around in a circle, and then saw a beautiful girl walking slowly towards him not far away.
"Ghoul?" the girl asked, her voice crisp and pleasant.
Shi Songming immediately guessed and asked, "Narcissus Knight?"
While speaking, Shi Songming always felt that the other party had a sense of familiarity. He shook his head and put the ridiculous thought behind him. Beautiful 3D models of beautiful women are everywhere, and it's not surprising to hit your face after pinching them out. And in this technologically advanced society, voices have long been inaccurate. In the past, a small number of people could change their voices by relying on the skill of voice change, but now the voice changer is popular, and everyone can play with it. Recently, face-swapping technology has also appeared, and the video can't be trusted.
So maybe the girl character is actually a big man with a big foot pick, so it's better not to dig into it.
But in fact, Shi Songming ignored the bottom line of small words when creating the character: the character cannot change the gender, and the appearance can only be modified by 30% on the original basis. After all, as a modern person who is an acute child, who would read the thick user agreement word by word.
"Of course it's me. The girl replied.
"Hehe, you are a senior in this game, please bring a little brother. ”
The girl scoffed. "I can't take you. Actually, I've only been online once, and when I looked at the scenery, I saw that it wasn't interesting and went offline. If it weren't for an acquaintance, I wouldn't have touched this helmet again. ”
While talking and laughing, the two tried to play games together.
The game's interface is simple and refreshing, and the overall layout is very similar to popular role-playing games on the market. Action bar in the lower left corner, miscellaneous items in the lower right corner.
There are only two skills in the action bar, technical martial arts, and technical spells. The former is a slashing sword move, and the latter is a large fireball. Against some pheasants
Then try the options on the right. First of all, the names of the characters and NPCs are displayed, although the green names are incompatible with the very realistic picture, but for players like Shi Songming, the "World of Beasts" is more comfortable.
After adjusting the general options such as volume, resolution, model detail, and particle density, I found that the initial settings were good, and changed them all back.
Eventually, the duo discovered an option to switch between 'Skill Mode' and 'Autonomous Mode'. Needless to say, the skill mode will send out skills as long as the controller is pressed.
In terms of basic martial arts in autonomous mode, the two handles become the grips of the character's fists or weapons, and you can fight as you want. And after killing a few pheasants and rabbits, the output contrast is not at all as good as in skill mode. Shi Songming used the incomplete damage detection mechanism as an excuse, and the Narcissus Knight laughed and pointed out that his fighting skills were scummy and he didn't hit the key point at all.
The basic spell in autonomous mode is a bit more interesting, as a sphere of countless colorful points of light will appear in front of you. As soon as a finger touches them, these points of light move in the opposite direction by force. As long as a sufficient amount of light is forced into the core area, a fireball will be formed, and it will shoot out.
Shi Songming secretly frowned after a few attempts, feeling that this was a bit like his fourth ability.
During the months of studying with the master, the course focused on the first ability to increase physical strength and the second ability to teleport in space. The third one seems to be related to chemistry and has never been practiced. The fifth is the one that the master reminds him to help his hero's career before leaving, but he has less practice, and the most direct effect at the moment seems to be to have a heart-to-heart dialogue in a vacuum environment.
The fourth is to collect particles in the air and polymerize them. However, after pinching out a few lumps of mud by himself, the master shook his head and didn't mention it again. If you go further, maybe it is this practice method of compressing light spots.
Now I think back to the master's parting words about this game, 'just play and know', perhaps alluding to this.
At this point, Shi Songming has decided to play this autonomous mode. But there's obviously no need to talk about special abilities with friends in the game, and the other interfaces are also very simple.
"The autonomous mode is obviously one of the highlights of this game, and it must be tilted. If you want to become a high-end player in the future, it's a good idea to familiarize yourself. ”
The Narcissus Knight hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "Makes sense. ”
The rest of the game is the usual flow of the game. The two of them continue to take on tasks, such as driving away wild birds, catching mice, cleaning up canals, etc., and it only takes ten minutes to clean up the novice village tasks, which can be regarded as familiar with the general pattern of this game.
In the end, I took a task called 'Upgrade' at the village entrance guard, and the dialogue was completed directly, and the character was actually upgraded from level 3 to level 10. Without a doubt, this is a streamlined process that facilitates testing.
The two looked at each other the same, and they both smiled bitterly.
"It's too casual, it's like playing with private clothes. ”
"The test suit is similar to the private server. I remember that there is a version of the test suit in "World of Beasts", and the artifact can be obtained casually from NPCs. ”
As the two were talking, the guard waved his hand, and the surrounding scene changed, and he was teleported to a huge city scene. With the idea that what has come is safe, the two chatted while wandering around the city while trying to take on new tasks.
Ten minutes later, the two had two impressions of the city. First of all, the city is so huge that it didn't go to the edge for more than ten minutes. The second is that the map has not been spliced perfectly, and the character has fallen directly into the bottomless abyss and died, but fortunately he was resurrected in place and there was no punishment, but I believe that this will not be the case in the official server.
As for the task, it was not received at all. And just as the two were about to give up, they finally saw a mission mark. It was two children in tattered clothes, the boy carrying the girl on their backs, struggling to make their way around the corner of the street.
The boy's name is Little Beggar, and the girl's name is Luo Ziyan. The contrast is quite stark.
