Chapter 20: Two Hours

Hu Ao felt that he was a little prostrate, at his age, staying up all night without sleeping was already a great destruction to his body and mind. Juo looked at the time, then rubbed his eyes, thinking about how many years he hadn't been so crazy.

Hu Ao also recalled the feeling of last night at this time, originally after the store closed yesterday, he only planned to play casually for a while and then go back to sleep, but he didn't expect that he couldn't stop playing at all.

The most intuitive feeling is that Juao feels that in this game, he seems to be twenty years younger, and this feeling is really amazing.

If it weren't for his physical limitations, he felt like he could fight for another day.

"An hour...... No, give him two hours, and after two hours, call him down, or I'll be at a loss. ”

At first, Alain thought that this Hu Ao was joking with himself, and planned to go home and play games as soon as he paid the money. However, under Juao's warm invitation, he went up to the second floor with some confusion and decided to accept this invitation.

After all, there is a full set of high-end equipment here, and you don't play for nothing.

The VR area of the video game store is not for daily business, and is generally only open to customers when there is an event, and the video game store of Hu Ao occasionally organizes related VR game trial activities, which are held for free.

He wanted to hold a high-level somatosensory experience of "Time and Space Code" in the store right now, and by the way, he wanted to sell their luxury package, but now he was too sleepy and decided to do it again tomorrow.

Hu Ao finished instructing an employee next to him, then took off his work clothes and prepared to go back to catch up on sleep.

Although he is a hardworking man, he is no match for his own physical instincts. Now that the store was open, Juao decided to sleep until the store was about to close.

As he was about to leave, Hu Ao thought for a moment and pointed to the signs hanging on the wall, which were the ones he had pointed out to Alan just now that read the luxury packages of various somatosensory equipment.

"Today, the price is an extra five percent lower. All the customers who come to buy "Time and Space Code" must sell this luxury package today. ”

Hu Ao sketched "5% OFF" on this sign, crossed out the original number, used a calculator to calculate it, and wrote the new number on it.

He nodded in satisfaction and prepared to go back and get a good night's sleep.

…………

…………

Alan walked up to the second floor of the video game store with a familiar way, and he is a frequent visitor here, often participating in activities organized by Hu Ao, and is still very familiar with the layout here.

The machine in the VR area already has the "Time and Space Code", and now he only plans to experience what this advanced somatosensory mode is like, and after the experience, he will go home for the official game guide. However, he can't play this advanced somatosensory mode at home.

Anyway, it's still early, play for an hour, go for lunch, just in time to go home, very perfect plan.

With the help of a clerk, Alain put on a full set of somatosensory equipment, which he had used once or twice before, and roughly knew how to use it.

Bring your VR equipment and the game starts.

Five minutes......

Ten minutes......

Thirty minutes......

During this period, a few employees came to take a look at the situation on the second floor, and a few employees felt very strange, running and jumping on the VR equipment, or making any exaggerated movements, it was not a strange thing, but the strange thing was that this person always said some strange things, and it didn't seem like he was talking to himself.

Well, this employee is probably not a person who cares about games and is unaware of the voice recognition capabilities of Time and Space Code.

He walked downstairs a little nervously and said, "The person up there, can't he be crazy, right?" I see he's been saying strange things. ”

A few of the other busy clerks glanced at each other, and those of you who had followed the game "Time and Space Code" probably knew what these strange words meant.

"It's okay, he's just playing a game."

And in the game world, Alain is now on a very dangerous mission. He couldn't see where he was, but if anyone stood next to him, it would be obvious that Alain was sweating profusely.

It's really hard......

Alain is now on a stealth mission, he needs to infiltrate a heavily guarded museum and replace one of the real objects in the museum with a fake. This authentic antique is housed in a glass case in the center of the showroom, which is very tightly guarded.

This is a relatively difficult infiltration mission in the early days of "Time and Space Code", and the player's role temporarily changes from the weak student to the woman he meets for the first time in the mansion.

Well, operating a female character in the game, although it is the first person in VR, but there is no strong sense of disobedience.

And this woman is an unofficial agent with very good skills, or it is okay to describe it as a Jiangyang thief, and the player is now using this character to complete this mission.

In that mansion, Alain also learned about the theme of the game. The theme of the game can probably be summed up in the pursuit of lost treasures, but the plot has developed so far, and many things are still just a secret and have not been fully revealed to players.

Alan almost forgot how long he had been playing, and the content of the previous game was basically to familiarize himself with the operation of the game, and slowly understand some of the plot of this game.

Although he had already learned about some of the features of the game, such as voice recognition and the like, when Alan actually used this voice recognition in the game, he was still deeply shocked.

It's amazing to be able to get feedback from NPCs when you speak with your voice.

Thanks to my ability to use English, I was able to experience such an interesting way of playing for the first time. Alain felt like he could speak English at this moment, which was really fantastic.

This time, the voice recognition of "Time and Space Code" is only open in Chinese and English, and I thought that Japanese voice would be added, but only these two versions were finally released.

Alain has played a lot of VR games before, including when he rode his face in various VR masterpieces some time ago, and he was also one of the players who had a lot of fun playing. But when he first entered the world of the Space-Time Code, it only took a few seconds for him to feel the difference in this game.

When various light and shadow effects are combined with the real and detailed scenes in the game, and the NPCs come to life in front of him, he suddenly feels that he is already in another world.

In advanced somatosensory mode, because all kinds of devices on your body will generate a certain vibration feedback according to the situation in the game. This vibration feedback, like the vibration feedback on the controller, is just a small detail, but the improvement to the gaming experience is huge.

And on the universal treadmill, he can run freely and quickly without worrying about hitting the wall.

For example, the mission he is currently working on is the first difficult action level in the game. The level is divided into two parts, one is during the day, and he is still the main character, pretending to be a tourist, in this museum to determine the location of various cameras and detect infrared alarm devices.

The second part is the level he is currently tackling, and he now needs to break through this heavy protection, without leaving any clues, with a fake prepared in advance, to replace the original product in the museum.

Alain was very nervous right now, and the limited light in front of him, and the narrow passage around him, made this tension even more tense. At this moment, he felt that he was now an agent on a stealth mission.

A very classic stealth mode, Alain now needs to pass through a vent to a large exhibition hall next to the target's location.

There is nothing difficult in this section, the only thing to be careful about is not to be detected by the monitors outside the museum, and if it is discovered, the mission will fail.

It was said that it was not difficult, but Alain still failed three times before he successfully entered the second stage of this mission.

The second stage of the mission was more difficult, as he had only a very limited amount of time to complete the task after entering the interior of the museum through the ventilation system, avoiding infrared alarms and patrolling security guards, as well as deciphering the electronic locks of the safety glass cabinet.

His accomplices would help him through hacking systems, and the museum's security system was independently powered, making it very difficult to cut off the circuitry. They can use a hacking system to disable several cameras in the museum and freeze the image for a while.

The time for the camera to fail is limited, and only a few cameras can fail, that is, the few cameras that fail to aim at the target, and he also needs to rely on his own strength to avoid other cameras, as well as several infrared alarm devices.

Then, open the safety glass case, complete the replacement of the fake, and return the way you came.

Alain has failed in this level several times now, and he feels that his body that has not moved for a long time is not so flexible, and several movements are not skillful.

He took a deep breath and prepared for his next attempt.

Descending from the ventilation rope to the ground, Alain also felt the feedback from the soles of his feet from this universal treadmill shoe.

Dodge left and right, bypass the two cameras, keep a certain speed forward, and use a statue around the corner in front of you to avoid the sight of patrolling security.

Perfect!

He was already very proficient in the previous paragraph.

When the security guard was far away, he dodged two more cameras and then used a sliding motion to avoid two infrared alarms. To make this action, you only need to sit down immediately on the gimbal treadmill in the running state, and the game will automatically correct to the sliding action.

Perfect!

The next step is to enter the object's exhibition hall, connect an electronic device to the electronic lock of the safe, and then open the electronic lock. Alain gently opened the glass case with his hand and took the genuine item out of the cabinet, a metalwork that looked like an oval ball resting on a fine base.

Then, he pulled out the fake, put it back in its place, closed the glass case, and prepared to slip away.

Through the experience of the previous few failures, he knew that he could not completely return the same way, so he would crash into the security guard's action route, and he could not stand still, once the camera was back running, his mission would fail, and he needed to find another way.

Alain had already seen the map in the previous mission details, and he needed to avoid a barrage of cameras and alarms from another room.

Just as Alain was nervously retreating, someone suddenly touched his body.

"Sir, the time is up."

A voice came.

"Give me another five minutes."

Alain kept his body steady and kept going.

However, the clerk didn't seem to know what he was doing, and seeing that Alain's movements were a little weird, he used his hands to help Alain "stabilize his body" and said: "Our boss's explanation, it's been 2 hours now, and you can't use this equipment anymore." ”

Well, because of the "help" of this clerk, Alain accidentally touched the infrared light that was only a few millimeters away from him, and the mission failed.

He said angrily: "Oh my God, what have you done!" ”

However, the clerk still carried out the boss's instructions without changing his face: "You have to come down, I'll help you." ”

Then, he thought for a moment and said, "By the way, the boss asked me to tell you that we have an extra five percent discount on the deluxe package of somatosensory equipment today, just for one day." ”

The popularity of "Time and Space Code" in China this time can only be regarded as a mediocre, and the penetration rate of VR equipment in the domestic player group is lower than that in North America. And if you want to perfectly support the PC running "Time and Space Code", the configuration requirements are still relatively high.

However, on the first day of release, "Time and Space Code" also sold hundreds of thousands of sales, counting the previous pre-sales, and after the game was officially unlocked, these players began their wonderful journey.

After getting off work today, Chen An returned to his home much faster than usual. On the way back, I didn't forget to buy a lot of "supplies" in the supermarket.

"Time and Space Code" was unlocked at 7 a.m., and he woke up early this morning longer than usual just to get a taste of the game before he went to work. Entering the game at seven o'clock, going out at half past eight, and arriving at the company in half an hour, he has been playing for an hour and a half this morning.

He doesn't like the somatosensory mode, and if he uses the traditional mode and VR equipment to play, Chen An only thinks that the graphics of the game are good. The scene is realistic.

When he got home, he turned on the computer, and instead of playing a game right away, he first browsed the web while eating the dinner box he bought on the road.

While browsing the web, he came across a review of "Time and Space Code" by the game media.

"If the "Time and Space Code" in the traditional mode is an ordinary masterpiece that can score about 80 points, then the somatosensory mode gives this work the real soul."
