Blind spots
"It's a blind spot."
Xiang Nanxing's fingers lightly ran over the edge of the mask, muttering to himself.
The image from the device is digital, but digital is not the same as illusory, and he still understands this truth.
From the beginning of the game to the present, what Xiang Nanxing sees has always been captured through the camera on the side of the hood, and then transmitted to the screen in front of him. He only briefly glimpsed a corner of the real world in the moments when the VR mask was broken, and he felt that the color tone was slightly different from what was shown on the device, but there was no difference other than that. If you really want to compare, the picture in the device has also undergone some brightness adjustments, making it easier for the eyes to adapt, which is quite an intimate design.
If you want to assume that these are fakes, and that what you see is just a fake picture of the room, then it is technically possible, and it is nothing more than playing some pre-shot video files. But in the process of the game just now, Xiang Nanxing didn't just look at it, he had to reach out to open and close the door, bend down to pick up the box on the ground, take out the things placed inside, watch the pistol practice quick reloading, and even in the event of an encounter, he had to clearly observe the enemy in front of him and capture his every small movement.
These tactile and visual real-time contrasts, as well as unpredictable enemy dynamics, are not something that can be easily replaced by a phrase "pre-recorded". During this process, Xiang Nanxing never felt a sense of alienation between his body's sense of touch and other senses, which is enough to show that the picture played in the device is the real scene in front of him. Because of this, Xiang Nanxing never doubted it.
Acting with a VR device is just a necessary condition for the turn-based rules to be implemented - a concept that has been deeply ingrained in Xiang Nanxing's mind. The more the game progresses, the more ingrained this idea becomes.
"But that's wrong." He muttered to himself.
When he said this, Xiang Nanxing had already turned around and ran away as fast as he could. Thanks to the fact that he didn't have a battle during this time, he can still remember the route he took all the way, and he won't be shattered by the transfer after the defeat. Although, the route he remembered could only extend to the room he had reached during the last transfer, but for Xiang Nanxing, this was enough.
Because that room is his goal at this time.
"I should have thought of it a long time ago, that is the greatest help that Shen Lingshuang has given me."
His feet didn't stop, but his brain kept running at high speed, carefully recalling every detail of what had happened in the past. At that time, he was able to reach that room because he had lost in a previous encounter, and Shen Lingshuang followed the rules and took him there. But that defeat was anything but unusual, because Xiang Nanxing remembered that in that encounter at that time, there was an unexpected situation that had not happened before.
In that battle, Xiang Nanxing's VR mask was broken by a bullet and needed to be replaced.
After that, Shen Lingshuang took him to that special room, and the reason why it was special was because compared to the other rooms that were also located at the edge of the area, this room had an extra door, and a dead end behind the door. At first, Xiang Nanxing thought that there was some secret hidden in this dead end, but he was wrong, it did have a box inside, but it still contained the most common special bullets, not the live ammunition he needed. This cul-de-sac has the advantage of being easy to defend and difficult to attack at best, and other than that, it is as meaningless as the appendix of the human body.
Now he knew he was wrong again.
"The initial guess was correct. Shen Lingshuang brought me there, and she herself had the idea of what information to convey to me, but she couldn't say it clearly because of the host's position. Xiang Nanxing thought to himself, "And the hint about this was actually placed in front of me early in the morning." She deliberately chose to bring me after that incident, just in the hope that I would think about it. ”
"That clue is a broken VR mask!"
He recalls the brief gap between the torn mask and the change, when he was able to open his eyes and take in everything around him with his bare gaze. Perhaps since the game adjusted the rules and introduced VR equipment, he was the first player to observe his surroundings with the naked eye, but rights like this should have belonged to every player in the early days.
Think about what Nangong Huangqi said when he talked about bullets. He once said that a long time ago, long before VR equipment was introduced to the game, there seemed to be people who used live ammunition to win. But since his first participation, he has not heard of anyone who can find such a bullet. In other words, the game has been around for a long time and has undergone a change.
Xiang Nanxing didn't think much about it at the time, but now that he thinks about it, this statement actually vaguely reveals the fact that when everyone is still playing with the naked eye, players still have a chance to find live ammunition, but since the introduction of VR equipment and the use of virtual sight to observe the environment, this live ammunition confirmed by the host has evolved into an existence similar to mental deterrence.
In this way, is it true that VR equipment is the culprit that prevents players from finding live ammunition?
"It's possible...... No, it should be said that it is highly likely, it is simply nine times out of ten. ”
Xiang Nanxing walked briskly through another door and rushed directly to the different room. As he had been convinced, the world he saw through the VR device was the walls and doors he had touched with his hands. Even without touching them, he was free to look at them from a variety of angles. If you want to create a wall in this room, you need to have a lot of angles and a very large number of textures to stand up to such an up, down, left, and right observation.
But there is one place.
"In that cul-de-sac, you can do it with very few resources." Xiang Nanxing thought. He remembered that something different. Compared to a normal room, it is longer in length and narrower on both sides, barely enough for a person to walk normally. Xiang Nanxing personally confirmed the texture of the walls on both sides at that time, and at the same time looked at the end in front of him. What he saw was a wall, and it was this that convinced him that he was in a dead end.
But what if, in fact, there is a door?
In the narrow aisle, Xiang Nanxing can choose only one angle, and that is the front, which can almost be deceived by a simple picture generated by a sticker and a little real-time calculation. He can also move up and down, but the longer the distance, the impact of this action on the picture will be much weaker.
If you get close to a deep wall and quickly change to different poses and angles to look at it in the process, you may not be able to keep up with the number of textures and the computing power of the equipment, causing the player to see the flaw. But in most cases, when players see a dead end and don't have much time to explore, they usually accept the outcome and look elsewhere for a chance to win.
With only thirty seconds of action per turn, no one would choose to waste time walking through and confirming with their own hands a fact that has already been confirmed by their eyes once.
This is the blind spot.
It wasn't a dead end, but a narrow hallway, and the room with the live bomb was at the end of the hallway, but in the VR device, it showed not a door, but a flawless wall. That's why there were people who won this way before the new equipment was launched, but since the introduction of VR equipment, no record of live ammunition has been found.
This also answered a question Xiang Nanxing had before. Before this, he had judged that it was because he had hurt Nangong Huangqi that forced the other side to change his strategy, but to be honest, he himself was quite skeptical of this speculation. Now that the problem is solved, what forced the enemy on the other side to take action was not the result of the encounter between him and Nangong Huangqi, but earlier, at the moment when it was confirmed that he had entered a "dead end". What the other party is really afraid of is that he discovered the secret in the depths of the dead end and cracked the game, so he had to tell everything in advance.
"Everything is connected, starting from Shen Lingshuang's actions at that time, all the way to the change of strategy on the distant side, everything is connected and closely connected. Now, it's up to me to confirm this fact with my own hands. ”
Xiang Nanxing didn't stop, pushed open one door after another, and hurried back to the previous room as fast as he could. When he met the locked door, he opened the one next to it, and then walked around the next room. He wasn't worried about bumping into Nangong Huangqi as soon as he opened the door, because at this time, the other party was still in a blind situation outside the round, and he couldn't move freely, it could only be that he accidentally strayed into the room where the other party stayed. However, Nangong Qian can manipulate the door lock, which means that she only needs to lock it before he opens the last door. And every time he encountered this situation, Xiang Nanxing went around to the side, avoided that room, and then could continue to move forward.
Nangong Qian's locked door also has the function of warning. In this case, the person who fought against Nangong Qian couldn't lead him to Nangong Huangqi's room no matter what he did. Theoretically, Xiang Nanxing could have avoided the battle completely.
"However, I still missed this hand."
He smiled wryly, looked at the countdown that had just finished on the edge of his vision, and reluctantly stopped. At this time, there was still a gap of three rooms from his destination.
Completing a few rounds of exploration in less than thirty seconds is something that requires all your might. Assuming that in the process, you have to bypass the room where Nangong Huangqi is located, the requirements for speed are even higher. However, Xiang Nanxing encountered three times when the door was locked in the process, forcing him to take a long detour.
Of these three times, only one at most was a warning made by Nangong Qian, and the other two could be seen as the person who was fighting against her. He really couldn't lead Xiang Nanxing into the trap, but on the other hand, Xiang Nanxing couldn't ignore the obstacles he had arranged, so he could only obediently bypass them.
In this way, time is exhausted in these two extra detours.
Now, it's Nangong Araqi's turn.
"This is the last chance. It's hard to stumble over me, so the next step must be to bring that guy here. ”
With such psychological preparation, Xiang Nanxing took a deep breath and raised his pistol to prepare for the attack.
Ten seconds later, footsteps rang from far and near, like the sound of a rapid war drum striking his eardrums. At the same time, Xiang Nanxing's eyes shone brightly, and his closed vision opened up instantly!
"Come on!" He shouted in his heart!
