"What if you don't take the technological route?" Bai Yue didn't like the route Sun An expected, if this is a game, if the purpose of this game is to let people experience a different kind of life, then ordinary life is the best, no matter how ordinary life is, there are things to sing and cry about.

Seven people sat in the living room, leisurely chatting about big topics about the "world", like a primary school class in the 80s and 90s, the main speaker was Sun An, and the others listened while using their brains, combining the real world with the games in his mouth, no one would hate such topics.

After that, it's time to make up for it.

"If you don't take the scientific and technological route, the biggest possibility is 'World War III - Nuclear Victory'. Sun An seems to be looking forward to such a future, "Radiation pollution, a large number of human deaths, at this time there will be two branches, one is the nuclear winter, the entire earth is covered with ice and snow, players try their best to survive, or hide underground to become cavemen; ”

Brain supplementation is interesting, the atmosphere has become more relaxed, Tang Xian said proudly: "The nuclear winter is too cold, uncomfortable, or it's fun to fight zombies." ”

The rest nodded in agreement, the cold would make the skin feel painful, the player would need to get calories from more food, and it would be much easier to fight zombies than nuclear winter.

Sun An also nodded in agreement, and asked again: "Whether it's a nuclear winter or fighting zombies, it's a standard apocalyptic survival game, a survival game, the environment changes, there are not many human beings left, the original technology tree can't be used, everything has to be restarted, doesn't it sound familiar?"

He suddenly became excited, his voice raised a lot, he slapped his thigh, inhaled in pain, and continued: "Oh!

The people in the room looked at Sun An with wide eyes, and it took a while to realize what he was talking about, and they got goosebumps.

Sun An looked at their expressions with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Civilization has cycled again, the ancestors of human beings came out of Africa about 50,000 to 100,000 years ago, and the recorded history is only four or five thousand years, and life appeared 4.6 billion years ago, I am afraid that there have been many alternations of life and civilization on the earth, and the game has reached this point, and it only needs to be upgraded one last time - to disrupt the timeline." ”

"What do you mean?" asked Chen Yishan blankly.

If you want to play a survival game, you can go to the Paleolithic Age, if you want to develop civilization, you can go to the Bronze Age and the Iron Age, if you want to fight and kill, go to the Middle World or World War II, if you want to cultivate artistic sentiment, you can go to the Renaissance or Victorian period, if you want to study, With the development of high-end technology, you can experience another life in this game, where you can learn, start a business, invent, do whatever you want, and even open the two options of Hilary Putnam's 'Brain in a Vat and Verno Vinci's 'Superman Upheaval', and treat the game world as if it were the real world. Sun An finished speaking in one breath, and then silently waited for them to digest these things.

The smell of smoke in the living room was strong, but no one cared, it was quiet, and the light of the TV set shone on the faces of several people on the sofa, illuminating their faces in all colors.

They have to admit that this game is interesting, especially after the timeline is disrupted, establish a character in any historical stage, you can live in the era you like, as for how to live, you have to rely on your own efforts, that is, to complete the mission.

............

The word quest is just a very common term in the eyes of gamers, receiving tasks, doing tasks, handing in tasks, main quests, side quests, daily quests, dialogue quests, monster killing quests, collection quests, exploration quests, having played too many games and done too many quests, this word has lost its appeal.

But in the game, for the characters in the game, the word "task" has a depth, and the player sees himself as a player, which is completely different from the game experience of seeing himself as a character, without God's perspective, the character does not know that he is in the game, so what will they think? Just like human beings, they think about the meaning of life, the meaning of life, the meaning of existence, and the meaning of life.

Going to school, exams, working, getting married, and reproducing offspring are all tasks, one after another, there are countless side tasks in a person's life, but no one knows their main task, some people may have received it, but they don't know, some people may think that they have received it, but in fact it is not, it is easier to accept the meaning of life with "main task".

Bai Yue did not forget, on the night they first met, Sun An said that he wanted to play a game with her, the purpose was to find his main quest, which can be seen as finding the meaning of his life, and there are many people who are looking for the meaning of life, but Sun An seems to regard the search for the meaning of life as the meaning of his own life, he said that this world is a game, and he also plays this world as a game.

"We're all characters. When everyone's eyes were focused, Sun An returned to the topic they were talking about at the beginning, "We are not people trapped in the game, there is no point in breaking the fourth wall at all, we don't exist in the real world, even if we break the fourth wall, we can only stay in the game, nothing can be changed, this is our reality." ”

"Sounds sad. Chen Yishan frowned rarely.

Sun An smiled: "I forgot who said, 'Whether a story is a tragedy or a comedy, depends on where you stop', if you want to watch a comedy, stop when you are most happy to watch, and don't look down; If you want to watch a tragedy, even if it is a comedy, after you finish the end, you can also make up the subsequent plot by yourself, the end of the fairy tale is always 'the prince and the princess live happily together and live a happy life', you can add 'until that day ......'"

"What about disease, disease is also part of the game?" He Ruoyin suddenly asked an irrelevant question.

Sun An nodded: "If you want to be real, life can't be perfect, and disease may also be a 'prop' for the game production team to make money, the number of trumpets that players can build is limited, and if you think that a certain number is alive enough, if you want to eliminate the number, you can buy a prop like this, and the character will die; ”

The topic suddenly became terrible and heavy, Bai Yue got up and said: "Okay, it's not too early, let's go to rest, we have to go to school tomorrow, just think about these things when you have time, discuss them another day, and disband." ”
