Chapter 4: Spider-Man: Crysis
For a heavy RPG patient, how can you go to a game expo without role-playing? Shen Yan had been prepared for this.
It's a pity to play the wizard white wolf, you need to dye your hair white; Playing the role of Uncle Flame, you can't get a strong armor; And in order to avoid being seen by acquaintances, it is necessary to exclude all the characters who show their faces. Therefore, the only one who not only likes Shen Yan but also can highlight the advantages of a certain aspect is the protagonist of the more niche Crysis 3 - a full-body one-piece "nanosuit" and a fully enclosed helmet, without showing his face throughout the whole process - which can not only perfectly hide his identity, but also imply that Acatez has been assimilated by his nanosuit and transformed into a prophet.
It was just perfect.
Hehe, role-playing is meant to entertain oneself and does not need to be understood.
Because he had long known that the atmosphere in the exhibition area was hot, and the nearby toilets were full all day, Shen Yan found a toilet to change into a full set of equipment before getting on the bus. That's why, those men in black can't recognize him when they see him. But when he boarded the bus to Pudong in a "fancy dress", he found that he seemed to have become an outlier in the crowd.
Even if there are fewer people on weekends, it is not so empty. But when he got into the back of the bus, he found that people had left their positions, and after a few moments, his surroundings were empty without even a ghost...... For Shen Yan, who has been popular since childhood, this is really a rare experience.
If it was just like this, at most Shen Yan would remember it deeply. However, the undisguised voices of discussion that followed made him a little unbearable.
"Why is he dressed like that, or tights, is he a pervert?"
"I know there's a comic exhibition in Pudong today, and a lot of people are there. When I drove by in the morning, I saw a lot of people dressed like this on the street. ”
"Comics? Disgusting, how old are you still reading comics? ”
"You can't reach it when you're a white-collar worker. Let me tell you, there are more and more of them now! Not only does he not have contact with society and has no job, but he also hides at home all day long playing games, reading comics, reading novels, and gnawing on the elderly, which is completely social garbage. ”
"Is it the dead house that it said on the Internet? Isn't it a Japanese specialty, but also in China? ”
"That's a lot! When chatting, aren't many people posting the picture of 'Sizhai Steamed Goose Heart', which means 'the dead house is disgusting'......"
“……”
These unscrupulous words really made Shen Yan feel very speechless - girl, why are you so gossipy? Even if prejudice is everywhere...... But I'm just in a car, who are you talking so loudly to? Besides, number one, I have a regular job. The mouthful of poisonous pork that you eat less every month is what I help you keep in your mouth;
Second, I have a girlfriend and a lot of friends! I'm healthy both in life and socially!
Thirdly, I like games rather than comics. And not everyone who reads manga and plays games is an otaku. These days, there aren't many affordable hobbies. And those who love comics and games are much more successful than you!
Fourth...... I still have superpowers (although I'm only showing physical strength right now), do you have them?
However, he can only slander in his heart, he can't stand up and beat people up for this, right? As for reasoning, who is reasoning with you now? By the way, in fact, Shen Yan also wants to say, I don't want to wear tights directly to the car, I still have a long windbreaker jacket in my bag - if I wear a straitjacket inside and a windbreaker outside, you won't call me an otaku...... You're going to call me a pervert!
"Haha~" Thinking of the funny place, Shen Yan amused himself. As a result, it is obvious that others are further away from him.
In short, it is very uncomfortable to be treated so coldly and violently, even if it is a person with a heart like Shen Yan. Of course, there was also a little slap in the face and mischief in it, so Shen Yan took off the helmet he was wearing...... Then, the back half of the bus suddenly became quiet.
We've said this, yes, a, look, face, time, generation!
Important things should be highlighted.
Although Shen Yan didn't do anything else after taking off his helmet, he just looked down at his helmet, frowning slightly, as if pondering something, but his face still attracted all the attention. The reason why otaku are ostracized by society as a whole is not just because of the subculture they love, but because this group has no money in their pockets and is not handsome enough. There is a program in Japan that investigates the otaku group, which specially edited all the ugly men and outrageous words together, and made an issue of the short, fat, and ugly encyclopedia, effectively distorting and scandalizing this group.
The real rich second generation, such as a certain Satoshi, even if he reads comics and plays games all day long, he is also rich and handsome. Uncle Black took AIDS to live in the slums, and some female college students sent them up, all of which were diseases and had to be treated.
In any case, the carriage was finally quiet, and Shen Yan quietly breathed a sigh of relief and began to think about what to do at the fair. This year is not the first time Shen Yan has participated in the game expo, but it is the first time he has participated in live cosplay.
It stands to reason that although Shen Yan likes role-playing games, he is not fanatical to this point.
But men always have to think about the future.
Because he wants to obtain "superpowers", at present, Shen Yan still has to continue to work diligently in the position of "health quarantine", which has little money. It can be considered that this is the price that must be paid if you want to obtain superpowers, but in fact, it is just a little side effect. But he also needs to make money to support his family, even if he is still young, he has not thought of entering the palace of marriage with Chen Xiaoyu. But Chen Xiaoyu's mother's face, Shen Yan has seen it more than once, and the reality is a little embarrassing......
It is impossible for him to put all the pressure on the woman's head and pretend not to see it himself. Therefore, Shen Yan is also working hard to expand his network, actively participate in social activities, and look for some opportunities for breakthroughs in wealth. In layman's terms, he wants to get rich.
Just like this cosplay event, because of his hobby, Shen Yan already knew something about the animation and game industry - this industry is loved by more and more young people, including some local tyrants who are not bad for money. Such activities do breed a lot of money and job opportunities. Especially important, opportunities in this industry are generally tolerant of working hours, never requiring 9-to-5 sitting, and part-time work doesn't matter.
From this point of view, it is simply too suitable for Shen Yan!
The only threshold required of an intruder in this industry is "talent", and Shen Yan just thinks that he is very talented - I even have superpowers, and cauliflower must be flowing all over the ground! That's that confident!
Chen Xiaoyu always accuses him of impure motives, and it is not without reason.
"Can I sit here?" A fairly handsome girl stood in front of him and asked, pointing to the seat next to him.
Shen Yan raised his head and looked at the other party scrutinically.
Shen Yan's heart was a little speechless, he actually wanted to say sarcastically and sarcastically, where do you think this is, a café or a Western restaurant? This is on the bus, why do you have to ask me where to sit? And there are a lot of empty seats in this car, why are you sitting next to me? Don't pretend to have just gotten in the car, I have a good memory, you're one of the eight women chatting with Fang Cai! Are you trying to tease me?
Little sister, we don't ask children, and we definitely don't ask eight women.
In Shen Yan's stressful gaze, the young lady's expression was slightly flustered. But with the support of her friends' eyes, she still mustered up the courage to sit down next to Shen Yan. After she sat down, she found that it seemed that as long as she gave up her reserve, it would not be so difficult...... Then the women who had chatted with her before also moved around one by one as strangers.
Women's guts are directly proportional to the number of their accomplices. A woman is afraid to walk alone at night, and a group of women dare to go to the street to kidnap a hunk man...... Sister policeman, I'm going to call the police, it seems that someone here wants to play hooligans, or female hooligans.
"Are you a model? This is the costume, right, the company arranged for you to participate in the Comic-Con catwalk? Brother, how old are you this year, have you graduated from college? How many fingers do you guess I have? ”
With the blessing of a group of women, the girl who was still very "quiet" just now began to transform as soon as she sat down, turning into a familiar little eighth woman. She kept talking to Shen Yan, asking this and that, and even stretched out her finger and poked the chest of his tights, before pretending to be shy and soft.
"Is this the kind of tights that Spider-Man wears? Wow, the muscles seem to be real, your body is so good! ”
Girl, I see you're secreting a lot of saliva.
Under Shen Yan's displeased gaze, the girl reluctantly withdrew her little hand and said with an oath. "Actually, I'm also an anime lover, really!"
Shen Yan's face was expressionless.
“…… My favorite is Spider-Man, I've watched several movies many times! The girl's fingers lingered on the muscles of his arm, and her eyes were clearly not looking at the clothes. The clothes are ok, but your helmet doesn't look like it. ”
"Because I'm wearing a Crysis Nano biochemical suit!" Shen Yan couldn't help but say, what the hell is Spider-Man.
Crysis is a hardcore shooter known for its excellent graphics and character design, and the nano biosuit is the core equipment of this game. Unlike traditional exoskeleton armor and energy armor concepts, the nano biosuit is a flexible protective suit made of biochemical tissue, but it can also strengthen the human body and block shrapnel.
This time, Shen Yan really put a lot of thought into the role-playing, not only did he make a very "nano" Kaji cloth tights, but also specially ordered a quasi-professional pulley bow from Amazon, and installed an infrared imaging device on it to look quite "professional" accessories. He put on the whole set, and the appearance was already eighty percent similar to the nano warriors in Crysis, so that familiar people could recognize it at a glance! The Pulley Bow was prepared because it was the main weapon that was added to the game for three generations, to hint at the identity of the Prophet (Acatez).
Of course, the main reason is that he doesn't have to show his face, and his figure can hold up in this outfit...... The protagonist in Crysis is an iron-blooded real man, and now he is mistaken for Spider-Man, a high school student, which is unbearable!
"Crysis? How many Spider-Mans are that? The girl's eyes were full of curiosity, and her body leaned forward slightly to press Shen Yan's arm. As if to say, if you don't say it, I'll bite you.
“…… Part IV. In the face of such a question, he was ashamedly cowardly.
"There's even a fourth? Really! When will it be released, sister, please watch it? By the way, you wore this to the Comic Con to do pre-promotion for the movie, right? Don't worry, I will definitely go to the cinema to support you! Sister, please watch a movie when the time comes, let's add WeChat first......"
I was just complaining, do you understand! Don't you know the stalk of "spiders are only three, and they must be remade after three"? Shen Yan's heart struggled in pain, frustration, madness, and roaring, and he couldn't help but start to blame himself for thinking, why did I take off my hood just now? Why? I won't die if I am despised for a few words, but I really want to die now!
"I'm sorry, I think I've arrived."
Seeing the bus coming in, he escaped through the back door without saying a word.
