Chapter 3: Getting Started in the Game
Chapter 3: Getting Started in the Game
In the dead of night, he secretly vowed: "I not only want to become the king in online games, but also the king in real life, so that I can protect myself and protect my relatives and friends around me." ”
The game they are talking about is an online action game called "Eighteen Kinds of Martial Arts", and it goes back to 2 months ago.
Two months ago.
A certain company produced an online action game called "Eighteen Kinds of Martial Arts", the main operation of the game is: the use of VR technology, players can use their own body movements, control the actions of the game character.
As a game enthusiast, Feng discovered this game by chance, and for this new type of game, he definitely wanted to give it a try. His good brother, Xiao Chao, who is also known as a game enthusiast, also applied for an account for the game together.
When it came time to apply for this game, it was quite troublesome. Not only do you have to enter your ID number, mobile phone number, video authentication, and even address authentication, etc. At one point, he wondered if the game was fake and was designed to deceive players of their privacy.
Fortunately, he and Xiaochao can endure it, and they have conducted a strict investigation on the company before, so they still believe in the company's reputation. That's why I've been insisting on it, and I've been filling in the relevant content according to the official requirements of the game.
In the end, the emperor finally lived up to his wishes and finally got the account for using the game. At the same time as getting the account, the phone received a message from the game's official. The message says: The official will provide game equipment to gamers for free, please wait patiently, and the game equipment will be delivered within two hours.
"Two hours to go." He didn't complain for a while. Since I still have time, I decided to carefully search the Internet for information about the game "Eighteen Martial Arts".
There is a lot of information on the Internet, but it is all Q&A, and it is not what he wants. It seems that the game official has kept this game very strictly secret, so the information about the game on the Internet is very scarce.
He looked up at the sun outside the window, today is a good weather, why don't you ask Xiaochao to play basketball and kill time.
It can be said that there is a sense of understanding. Coincidentally, at this time, Xiaochao called. After he connected the phone, he heard Xiao Chao on the other end of the phone complaining about the game.
"MD, applying for an account is like being checked, is it a scam company?" Xiao Chao
"How are you grinding, I've already filled it in, you should hurry up, there will be surprises after filling in." Then he said, "When you have filled it out, come to the old place, where I will wait for you." ”
As the saying goes, "the world is watched from the basketball court".
Some people care about "national affairs" on the basketball court;
Someone is "worried about the situation abroad" on the basketball court;
Some people say "firewood, rice, oil and salt" on the basketball court;
There are also people on the basketball court: nostalgia for the great.
He and Xiaochao are also laymen, and they can only "go along with everyone".
An hour later, both he and Xiaochao received a call that the gaming equipment had arrived. So they hurried home separately.
When he returned to the gate of his community, he saw a courier. This courier is not a courier of a certain courier company, but a special staff member of such and such a company, because he saw that the courier's clothes had the words of such and such a company on it.
After confirming Feng's identity, the courier kindly handed him a box, and then drove to continue delivering the box.
"Could it be that the game is equipped in a case?" He looked at the box in front of him, a little incredulous, because the other party handed over the game equipment to him so easily, and there was no cost, he immediately said secretly: "It seems that this company not only has good service, has its own transportation company and courier personnel, but also has a lot of money." ”
Without thinking too much, he pulled the box and rushed home. As soon as I got home, I couldn't help but feel curious. He immediately opened the box, opened it, and was startled.
"There are too many gaming devices in this game, it's too complete." Inside there are clothes, pants, shoes, game rugs, game helmets (lightweight) and much more. Looking at these sophisticated equipment, he muttered in his heart: "It costs at least a few thousand yuan here." ”
After reading the explanation on the manual, he realized that these gaming devices are designed to sense the player's movements in all directions.
Looking at these sophisticated game equipment, he looked forward to the specific operation of the game even more. So he hurriedly put on these devices, and after putting on the equipment, not only did he not feel tight, but he felt very comfortable.
After putting on the game helmet, he really came to the new world, and he had to feel the power of technology now, so powerful that players feel as if they were in a real world.
Upon entering the game, his game character is placed in a room, a martial arts hall to be exact. At this time, he received a message from the system, which roughly read as follows:
Dear players, welcome to the game. First of all, players are asked to verify as soon as possible.
The so-called authentication is fingerprint recognition. After authentication, fingerprints, ID cards, bank cards, etc. are all bound together.
After the authentication, the system sent another reminder: please familiarize yourself with the operation of the game as soon as possible.
The operation of this game is really different, no, just at the beginning, he encountered some problems:
The first problem is matchmaking: players match their actions with those of their characters.
As the saying goes: one chopstick is easy to break, ten chopsticks can be broken with a little effort, but what about a hundred, a thousand? When the amount reaches a certain level, the difficulty is also doubled.
This game is like that, if there are only a few, a dozen, or even dozens of actions to match, he won't find it difficult. But when he saw the number of movements of the game characters, his mind tingled.
In this game, the actions of the game characters include almost all of our own actions in reality: hand movements, foot movements, head movements, etc. He didn't count them all, but he was sure that there were at least thousands.
After seeing so many game character actions, he didn't blindly match them first, but began to seriously and rationally research and analyze.
He asked himself, "Do players have to match all the characters' movements?" ”
"Are all of these characters' movements really useful?"
"What is the purpose of the game being designed this way?"
After that, he began to answer himself again.
Each of the actions of the game character certainly has its role, but whether these actions will be useful to themselves or not remains to be seen.
At this time, he remembered what his grandfather said to himself: "Only with the simplest actions can you achieve your goal the fastest." ”
There is also a saying: "Some seemingly useless actions are actually very useful." ”
These two sentences seem to be two contradictory words, but at different times, they have their own meanings.
Some of his ancestors used to be martial arts practitioners, but by the time of his grandfather's generation, there was a fault. When he was a child, he also learned these martial arts moves from his grandfather. When he was very young, he didn't know martial arts at all, and he only used it as a way to strengthen his body.
Back to the game.
First of all, he decided to delete the actions in the game characters and choose the ones he needed. Then match the actions of these selected game characters with their own actions one by one.
It's a long and difficult process, and if you don't know anything about martial arts and don't have any experience in fighting people, you'll undoubtedly have a buzzing brain.
But he is different, he has some kung fu foundation, and he loves martial arts, and often practices alone. So, he tried to choose the one he needed from thousands of game character actions.
But those players with buzzing brains must be very angry.
Some players will definitely scold the game company: "What can be done by tapping on the keyboard, it is so complicated, you uncle." ”
Some players will definitely be angry: "Is this game bullying us fat people, we can't even stand hard, and you want us to play tricks." Then he touched the dozens of pounds of "muscles" on his stomach and decided to give the game a one-star negative review.
Of course, there are also some players who will have the same attitude as him: "Why not give it a try, this kind of operation is relatively new, with the body as the keyboard and the language as the mouse, let's give it a try." ”
Xiao Chao also called from time to time to tell his confusion. While communicating with Xiao Chao, he carefully analyzed, selected, and paired.
From entering the game to selecting actions, it is a very boring process. Maybe one second you thought it was useful, the next second you found it useless and deleted it.
After a few hours of selection, I finally selected hundreds of actions for the game characters that I thought would be useful.
Then the next step is pairing.
Pairing one-on-one actions with those of these game characters is an even more complex process. This process is like practicing martial arts moves, taking into account the connection between movements, the fluidity between movements, and the combination between movements.
Mencius has a saying: "Heaven will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skin, and empty their bodies." That's how he felt now, miserable and happy.
During the pairing process, from time to time, he recalled the movements that his grandfather taught him.
After pairing these moves one by one, he didn't start fighting right away, but practiced the ones he had already paired over and over again.
Because as the saying goes: "If you sharpen a knife and don't cut wood, your hard work will pay off." He believes that only when his movements are smooth and smooth can he fight better with others.
He practiced tirelessly, and when the players already moved on to the next step, he still kept practicing.
Until he felt that it was almost the same, most of the time had passed, and the sun was about to set.
"It's time to get out of the mountains." When the pairing moves were already continuous, he decided to go out of his own way and go for a big job.
At this time, he is like a martial arts boy who has been practicing for decades, and he is about to go down the mountain.
