Chapter 84
"Hello everyone, I'm everyone's old friend - Best Editor York. "In the past two days, many people who have just returned home from work or school will open their subscription accounts to watch this column pushed by the game magazine. This is the easiest way to learn about the game for those who haven't played it. Since the focus of this York report is everyone's favorite scenery and customs, everyone looks at these as if they are watching a tour guide program that introduces tourist locations.
Today, everyone clicked on Little York's push and heard the message coming from inside: "Hello everyone, I'm the best editor York." Today, I'd like to share the good news with you, that I've participated in the event's first event since the open beta and become a part-time militia reporter. In other words, my message will be transferred to war correspondents, and I will report on the activities for you live, so please pay more attention. ”
Hey, the event is live? This is good! Many viewers expressed their interest in this. However, in the next few days, York's reports were just ordinary training, although on the first day, everyone still felt a little new about these trainings, but after watching two more days, they got bored. Little York also received feedback from the editor-in-chief, paused the daily update, and then after a few days of careful consideration, decided to change his position, from an ordinary entertainment reporter, to a real war correspondent, for this reason, Little York looked through several world-famous war correspondent autobiographies and their famous reports. On the fifth day, Little York updated his video, but everyone found out that Little York's video had a prefix in front of its name - Little York's War Diary.
This "Little York's War Diary" does not record Little York's personal events, but Little York's teammates who went to interview him as a scholar, and the life of this teammate is recorded. Although the language barrier is incomprehensible, everyone can hear that the language of this teammate contains memories of childhood, the youthfulness of youth, the shock and uncertainty of the future after hearing that the parents are engaged to him, and the joy of his child after birth...... and the fear of going to the battlefield now. As a militiaman, he has only been training for less than a week, and the weapons in his hands are only wooden guns with iron sheets sharpened at the front end, and he is only wearing clothes that are thicker than the usual linen clothes, no armor, no regular weapons. When such a militia enters the battlefield, it is nothing more than cannon fodder. There is no future in sight, no hope in sight.
"Then why do you still go to war?" asked Little York, "You know, it's not compulsory conscription now, it's volunteer soldiers. If you know that you have little hope of surviving, why would you give up a stable life and leave your parents, wife and children behind to go to war?"
Speaking of this, the militiaman struggled a little, and finally said: "Because, I hope to be able to use my life to earn the last money for my family." Little York, you know what? My life is stable, but it's too stable. Little York, my family is a farmer, my grandfather is a wheat farmer, my father is a wheat farmer, and I also planted wheat for a living before I joined the draft. Did you know? Little York. Growing up, I was rarely able to eat white bread without wheat bran, and every time I ate white bread, I could only eat white bread the size of a palm on the birthday of my family or the festival of Your Highnesses. ”
Speaking of this, the uncle was a little excited, and looked at Little York, who was sitting beside him, with a quill and parchment in his hand: "The wheat farmer, who has grown up growing wheat for a living, does not eat white bread several times a year; I have already thought clearly about knights, I don't want my children to be like me, I want him to be like you, to enter the academy, to become a scholar, to learn knowledge, to work for a noble family or a government agency after graduation, or at least to enter the chamber of commerce as a clerk, so that he can live in the city. I know I'm on the battlefield, maybe...... No, I don't think I'll survive, but I hope that my children can use my war death pension as tuition fees to enter the college. ”
In this issue of the report, countless people looked at these pictures and felt a little suffocated. I thought it was just an ordinary, relatively realistic game, but the uncle in this report, if he didn't know in advance that this was an NPC in the game, no one would doubt his authenticity. And now the people who can watch this episode are all people who are far away from the war, no one has seen the war, and no one has come into contact with ordinary people in the war. And Little York's report completely exposed the bloodshed and helplessness wrapped in the prosperous civilization. Even some experts who study psychological crimes of war have commented on the performance of the people in it after watching it. At the same time, this video has also reached the eyes of some deadly war correspondents, and has received some positive reviews. For a time, York's war diary Jr.'s reputation had overshadowed that of previous travel guides.
After that, Little York, after communicating with the editor-in-chief, decided to update two episodes of the war diary every week, and each time he interviewed different people, they had different identities and different performances, from ordinary militiamen, to captains who had just become nobles, to captains and other high-ranking officials who had been hereditary for two generations, were all interview subjects of Little York. Rave reviews.
Through Little York's show, everyone slowly began to understand the NPCs in these games, and found that each NPC is not just a simple piece of code, their actions are not like passers-by NPCs in other games, there is nothing else except walking around in a certain scene, you can talk and interact with any NPC, they also have their own temperaments, and if you offend him with what you say, you will even be reprimanded. The deeper you go, the more you realize that every NPC in this game has its own life, and you can't associate these people with their own pasts with the NPCs in the game. At this time, everyone began to marvel that the screenwriter team of this game is really powerful, and can actually connect all the NPCs in this game in the plot, so that this game is like a real world in front of everyone.
Such a magical world is even more desirable for countless people, imagine how desirable it is that you can reach another fantasy world in your dreams.
