For a gamer, there's nothing more disappointing than the silence of VR. The VR game technology that has been noisy in the past two years has made countless gamers cheer. I thought that the era of my dreams was coming. However, over time, VR has not only not been perfected, but has gradually disappeared. It turns out that VR technology still only exists in the fantasies of otaku.
Wade is a game streamer. It's kind of the top-notch. He streams various new game demos on the live streaming platform. And published various reviews in game magazines. It has hundreds of thousands of loyal fans. It can even have a big impact on the sales of some new games. It can be regarded as the voice of this industry.
Wade has been bored lately, though. Because he found that he had lost the passion he had in the past. Whether it's those realistic triple-A blockbusters or those indie productions full of whimsy. It's hard to get Wade interested. He's seen so many games and knows almost all of them. No matter how the game is updated now, it can't make him feel the slightest freshness.
Until that day, he received a VR headset. Truth be told, Wade is not well received in the VR industry. Because when VR games first came out, he was asked to do an evaluation. But the end result was that the designer almost vomited blood in anger. Wade said bluntly in the live broadcast. All VR games today are garbage, and it will take another two decades to go.
This statement has been supported by a large number of fans, and for this reason Wade has become the least popular person in VR manufacturers. However, this did not affect Wade's popularity, but made his fans soar. After all, there are many consumers who have been fooled by VR manufacturers in this era. But the fact is that VR technology is far from developing to the level of civilian use.
Wade looked at the VR headset in front of him and was a little unimpressed. Because after that incident, many manufacturers also sent him VR headsets, hoping to use his mouth to publicize. But there is no doubt that they were all struck by Wade. And now this one is undoubtedly the next one.
Wade picked up the helmet, and it was strange that there was no address, sender, or anything like that. There's just one simple name, multi-tech. It's a tech company you've never heard of, but it's not a big deal. These small companies are everywhere in Silicon Valley. The vast majority of them have been bankrupt since they opened.
It is an all-black, slightly reflective, half-helmet-like helmet. On one side of the helmet, there is a five-pointed star as the core, like a magic circle-like symbol. Other than that, there are no other clues. There is not the slightest novelty in the whole.
But out of boredom, Wade picked up the VR headset and prepared to give it a try. There is only one charging plug on the helmet, the rest is a fully enclosed yes case. Wade couldn't find the switch, so he had to put it on and try it.
The moment he puts on the helmet, a perfect immersive experience emerges before his eyes. It's a modern city, and it looks like any other city in the United States. But a background note slowly introduces everything about the city. At this point, Wade finds himself still in the role of a spectator, and it is clear that the game has not officially started yet.
Some of the footage flashed quickly, and Wade realized that it was a cutscene-like scene. A group of strong men dressed in fur and armed with various cold weapons advanced between the mountains and mountains. Until a dry forest appeared in front of their eyes. A huge black tree reaching into the sky fills everyone's vision. The narration begins.
'Eight hundred years ago, the world's strongest witch, the Dark Witch Queen, created the Plague Tree. The terror spread, and hundreds of thousands of people died at its hands throughout Europe. And the death did not stop. The Plague Tree continues to grow. Soon it will unleash another plague that will destroy the entire world. In order to stop the evil plans of the Black Witch Queen. The witch hunters gathered the strongest witchers of the time. Travel to the Plaguelands and defeat the Dark Witch. β
This is followed by a gorgeous fight scene. Witchers armed with flaming swords, as well as various dark wizards, engage in a bloody battle in the Dark Witch Queen's lair. Eventually, the witcher suppressed the Dark Witch. But the Dark Witch Queen is immortal, and the Witcher can't really kill it. They had to choose a compromise. They pulled out the heart of the Dark Witch Queen and placed it on the body of a dying witcher. The witcher thus achieved immortality.
The perspective flows rapidly here, and in the blink of an eye, it comes to the modern society. The Witchers formed a secret organization called the Holy Axe Cross Society, with the undead Witcher Calder as the core, secretly fighting against the Dark Wizard Group and guarding the peace of the world. Yet beneath this calm faΓ§ade lies a dark force at bay. The Black Witch's henchmen seem to be plotting something. And the interior of the Holy Axe Cross Society is also an undercurrent, an atmosphere of wind and rain, filling the entire game world.
That's the end of the cutscene, and that's when Wade finds himself able to move. A dialog box appears in front of him, prompting him to start refining his character. It's perfect, but in fact there aren't any career options or anything like that. It's just a matter of being able to modify your gender, body shape, and appearance.
Wade took a moment to make himself an image of Tom Cruise. Then the next step begins. However, he realized that there was no next step. Aside from the option to summon an exit, the game doesn't give him any hints or clues, just throwing him down the street. Let him move freely.
Wade immediately understood that this was a game of absolute freedom. You can do what you want here. But before that, Wade has to be surprised. It's just that the experiences around you are incredible. In fact, if it weren't for the magical cutscene just now. As well as the operation interface just now, Wade couldn't believe that he was in a virtual game.
In his understanding, this level of virtual reality technology should never exist. Even the military should not have such advanced technology. However, the reality is in front of us. He reached over the railing beside him. The real touch made him feel like he was in a dream.
He looked around, and some passers-by were even looking at him with a strange look. Apparently not the NPCs that don't have intelligence. This surprised Wade even more. Not only is the picture rendered to the extreme, but the intelligence of the NPC is also incredibly high.
He casually asked one of them some simple conversations. As a result, the other party's answer was seamless, and it didn't look like a character in a game at all.
Without any guidance, Wade could only wander around the game. He soon discovered that the map he was on was based on a one-to-one version of the real New York. It's just that some details are different. This huge map surprised him once again. He learns through the expansion that this is a magical world. In the darkness of the city, there are hidden wizards as well as hunters. They have been fighting with each other for 800 years.
Wade tries to trigger these episodes. So he began to go to some remote places, picking out the famous haunted houses, murderous places, or dangerous areas to hang around. Hopefully, it will trigger the mystery plot in this game.
It wasn't going well, but Wade was still holding on. In the process, he died five times. The thugs who were robbed were stabbed to death twice, and they were killed once by the gangsters who were trading. Killed twice by a homeless man. It wasn't until the last time that Wade finally found what he was looking for.
In a remote alley, Wade felt like he was being targeted by something. The reason why it is said is that Wade has a special feeling, an inexplicable oppressive atmosphere is approaching him, as if a person is targeted by a beast. It was an old woman on crutches, but in Wade's eyes, the other party was not an old woman. Because when the other party approached him, he noticed that the originally kind face had changed. It was an old, rotten, distorted face. There was an eerie green glow in his eyes. Obviously, it was a witch.
To Wade's surprise, the other party didn't pounce on him and bite him to death. Instead, he glanced at him with a scrutinizing gaze.
"A descendant of a wizard, come with me. Our people need fresh blood. β
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦.
By the time Wade quit the game, it was already the second day. When he took off his helmet, he looked excited. If it weren't for being woken up by someone who had three urgent urine. He'll probably keep playing until he's in shock. In the game, he is unexpectedly identified as a descendant of a wizard. and joined the wizard camp. And he was brought back to the wizarding group, and through some kind of ritual, he opened his own wizard bloodline. and began his apprenticeship as a wizard.
That immersive feeling. The feeling of magic blooming in front of your eyes, the feeling of power surging more real than real. Wade could barely extricate himself. Despite the fact that this game is not the slightest hint, it is extremely unfriendly to the initial player. But if you consider its perfect immersion, it's all fine. It's a real adventure game. For those who are like Wade, real players.
Even though it was still early in the morning, Wade felt that his whole body was in a state of extreme excitement. He felt something in his chest that he wanted to vent. But I don't know how to do it. Wade, who had walked back and forth in the room for more than a dozen laps, finally calmed down. He turned on his computer and wrote an article on his personal blog. The topic is the advent of a new era.
'A long time ago, the technology was not yet available for civilian use. I've always thought so. But just yesterday, I changed my mind. Multi-Tech, (if anyone knows their information, please let me know, I really didn't find it) This company sent me a VR headset yesterday. There's an adventure game inside. I thought about it for a long time and didn't know how to describe that game. Unbelievably shocking, it was an immersive experience that was close to 100% real. No amount of words can accurately describe the shock.
I know it's hard to believe. After all, I just went bankrupt a month ago by spraying a VR manufacturer. But now, I must say. If anyone else has received that helmet, please stand up and prove it for me. I don't believe anyone can resist that shock. β¦β¦β
In the wee hours of the morning, Wade's blog didn't attract much attention. But as time went on, people began to notice his Weibo. But most people don't believe it. All kinds of replies were like, 'It's not April Fool's Day, right?' How much money did so-and-so give, so-and-so gave double or something like that. β
Wade didn't care about these Dongquan, just kept flipping through the comments. Until he saw a message that made him care.
'Mine is a fantasy world, and I entered a wizarding academy called Hogwoods and became a wizard apprentice. What about you? Is it the same as me? At that moment, Wade knew he had found the right person.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦..
Wade is clearly not the only one in particular. Many players around the world have received that multi-tech VR headset. Almost all players were blown away by that amazing perfect immersion. Several of them even reported directly to the state. Because in their opinion, this technology is clearly alien technology. When did such powerful technology appear on Earth?
However, all the reports went to naught. It seems that all regimes have acquiesced in the existence of this so-called pluralistic technology. Although, until now, no one has broken any specific news about this strange company.
In a small, humble factory in New York City, the so-called multi-tech is here. Inside the factory was a huge server-like thing running rapidly. This is the core of the multi-tech games circulating in the market. It's just that this thing doesn't look like a completely technological creation.
Because around this server, there are countless dense runes carved into it. And these runes were emitting some kind of light at this time, and it was obvious that all of them were active. Countless looming runes kept drifting from the machine to the solid runes on the ground, and then flew back to the machine from the solid runes. It's like a data exchange.
Inside the 'server', it's even more bizarre. Because there's a 'person' in it. But it's not exactly human. Because this 'person' flickered from time to time. Just like the TV signal is not good, the snowflake will appear, and the person will show a kind of data color block after a flickering meeting.
It's clear that this is a tech kid. It's just that now he is trapped here by a hybrid creation of runes and technology. Lin Xuan was a true god-level existence. But I have no experience in making a game. So he chose the means of the gods. He uses a god of technology and the Internet as the core, and creates his own games as he likes.
It trapped the tech kid here, using a formation to bind. Then extract his technological powers. This kind of divine power has a rather interesting attribute, especially since it also integrates the divine power of the god of the network, Lin Xuan can use this power to build any virtual world at will. It is even possible to expand those virtual worlds infinitely to a certain extent. With Lin Xuan's god-level brain, it only took him less than a minute to build the background world of the last witch hunter.
Yes, all the world is dominated by his experience. This was mixed with some of Lin Xuan's subtle emotions. It is a completion of those forgotten regrets in the past, or a kind of commemoration of one's own journey. Lin Xuan himself couldn't say for sure. But there is no doubt that he is interested in it. This is something that he has been able to feel happy for a long time since he knew the existence of Chaos.
Do whatever you want, without the slightest limitation, make a game of your own mind. When Lin Xuan became a god, he finally fulfilled this wish as a human being.
