003 Gaming experience
"The bodies of the ancient warriors are resting here, and Hou Ru is asleep."
"It is our eternal mission to stop everything from falling into the abyss."
"Warriors, heed my call!"
This is a very short opening CG, of course, it's CG more than a character showcase.
A few slow camera movements, from all angles and scenes, show the character he is about to manipulate - a black humanoid creature that exudes strange energy fluctuations, and does not even have a face.
There is also an inexplicable and wonderful dubbing, probably to introduce his identity.
Zhou Ao's stereotype collapsed in an instant: this was actually an RPG, that is, role-playing.
It's nothing like the strategy game he's imagining.
Then, Zhou Ao's eyes fell into darkness.
"Hey! You okay? β
A very characteristic male electronic synthesizer plays.
Zhou Ao thought that he was still opening CG, so he didn't react and waited and saw what happened.
"Do you remember how to move? This damn teleporter can't be a problem, right? β
Suddenly, on the lower side of Zhou Ao's dark line of sight, a line of small words appeared.
[Please try to open your eyes, even if you don't have eyes]
Is this a how-to guide?
Zhou Ao just had the thought of opening his eyes, and his body reacted immediately.
A dark red-hued, metal-paved laboratory came into view.
Soon, all his senses were back in his hands.
Loud humming, damp smell in the air.
He could control the body.
I raised my hand and looked at it, it was the little black just now.
"Yay! Our fighters are back! β
"Welcome back to the Alpha Mobile Fortress, I'm Pivot 147, I haven't been back for a long time, let's go around!"
"Let's see if you can find me-"
Zhou Ao didn't care what the novice guide said, probably to familiarize himself with the environment, and then find its body.
At a glance, he spotted the exit to the experimental functional area: an emergency light flashed there.
But judging from his experience of playing similar role-playing games, don't rush the plot at the beginning, and see if there are any hidden goodies around.
So Zhou Ao walked around the functional area, habitually searching every corner.
However, as he walked, he suddenly realized a problem......
He's playing a game.
He's playing a game!
But is this any different from his real body?
The simulated body in the virtual community is just a good-looking model, in fact, the software does not call the player's five senses at all, and in other shoddy role-playing games, the tearing sense of the senses and reactions is very obvious!
But here, not at all, he doesn't even realize that he is no longer "himself".
"Shhh...... Awesome. β
Zhou Ao thought about it, maybe only these two words can describe the development of virtual reality hardware in this game.
Such a complete experience, even if there is nothing to play in this game, Zhou Ao is here in a daze, and he can play with himself for a day.
Not to mention the beautiful modeling in front of him:
The real and delicate metallic texture, as well as the various mechanical devices that look like sci-fi.
He tried to press it randomly, but there was no response, but he was complained by the novice guide:
"I also enjoy the feeling of pressing the buttons, but unfortunately we don't have the permission to do it."
So far,Zhou Ao hasn't experienced any game features,I've been impressed by this game.,Although artγMusic is just a plus for a game.,Only gameplay is the core of the game.,But it's not possible to stand a game that makes the plus points a full score.γ
"Can I speak?"
Zhou Ao only knew that he had done something stupid.
"You answered your question with facts."
Oh? Is it possible to interact with the beginner's guide? This is interesting.
In addition to many rooms that couldn't be opened, he found that there were probably no hidden treasure chests in the experimental functional area, so Zhou Ao planned to officially start the plot:
The first player of this game walked out of the ribbon along the exit.
"You must have forgotten where I am, so just say '147, map' and I'll show you my private map."
147's pre-recorded voice sounded, and at the same time, a row of small words appeared under Zhou Ao's perspective.
[Map function unlocked]
Zhou Ao did what he said, although he said the phrase "147, map", which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
It was also a while before the players found out that all the command sentences starting with 147 were uttered by themselves, and other players could not hear them at all, only to find that they were placed by 147.
A curtain of light hovered in front of him, changing position with his movements, but always in his line of sight.
Above is a schematic diagram of the interior plan of the Alpha Moving Fortress, which currently shows the lowest level, the experimental ribbon, with a small arrow representing itself, and the direction of the arrow is the direction it is facing.
He looked to his left, there was an emergency passage without a power supply, but the passage was dark at this time, and he couldn't help but suspect that there should be a monster inside.
If Zhou Ao continues to walk forward, you will find an elevator that goes straight to the top floor.
Zooming out on the map, he immediately found the central functional area on the map, on the basement level, adjacent to the energy area.
"It seems that you already know how to use the map, let's try to slowly awaken your lost abilities, you can trust 147 forever!"
In the process of going up the elevator, Zhou Ao learned the basic operations of the game, including logging out of the game and opening the backpack, these operations are different from previous games, not a panel that comes to the moment and then a little bit.
Instead, it really requires the player to operate and interact: logging out of the game requires the password "147, exit the game", and for example, opening the backpack requires "void sensing", which is a skill that the player has to play the character itself.
This skill not only explains why the player has a "backpack" - that is, has a void space of their own, but also uses this skill to consume energy bars to enter a latent state, that is, stealth, which is very interesting.
In Zhou Ao's view, this is a very exquisite detail design, and it is very innovative, although the function is still the same old game as a change of soup, but starting from the call of the function, the stereotyped and rigid design has been changed, so that players are refreshed.
According to the plot, he is an ancient warrior, and void sensing is a skill he has mastered, but after a long period of sleep, he forgot how to use it, and now he is following the guidance of 147 little by little to awaken the ability he once had, if he guessed correctly, in the future, as his level increases, similar skills or settings will definitely become more and more abundant.
Zhou Ao also found that 147 has more than that, he thought 147 was a beginner's guide, but now it seems to be more like a "game system": so far, everything about this game makes him feel that he is "gamifying" with the setting of the real world, rather than using the perspective of the game to build a world.
An MMORPG that is truly made with heart will definitely give people this feeling.
This is what Qiu Wen has always wanted to do.
But in reality, he didn't deliberately work on this.
Because, this is the real world.
As time went on, one player after another joined the game.
With the ability of 147, there is no problem in dealing with many people at the same time, and it can communicate with the player's body at any time, which perfectly fits the image of the "game system" planned by Qiu Wen.
Players' login, logout, map backpack, resurrection and respawn and other basic functions can be achieved through 147.
Although the plot tells the player that these abilities are in their own hands, they are nothing more than abyssal matter, and their control of their bodies is done for them by 147 according to their will.
As long as Qiu Wen uses his own ability to model these operations, 147 can realize repeated operations, so as to completely free Qiu Wen's hands.
There is no need to worry about 147 going wrong.
β¦β¦
"Victory is at hand!"
With the guidance of 147, Zhou Ao gradually became familiar with various operations on the body, and in his opinion, the most interesting thing was to consume energy through Void Induction to carry out the "Void Rush":
The effect is actually similar to "flashing", which is to teleport a short distance in the direction of his line of sight.
Although his energy bar was only enough to use for a single Void Dash before it was exhausted, the teleportation and perfect sensory feedback made him feel incredibly happy.
According to the game's premise, whenever he uses a skill like stealth or void dash, he consumes a lot of energy, which can be recovered by slowly drawing it from the void by his body.
Seeing that the energy bar had almost recovered, Zhou Ao made another void sprint and came directly to the gate of the central functional area.
It is a mechanical door with a heavy metal feel, wide and tall, and the door is covered with circuit-like textures that converge from the four sides of the door to the center, forming a circle wrapped around a crown-like figure.
I don't know if it's a simple decoration, but anyway, it looks much more "magnificent" than the door in the experimental functional area at the bottom.
Zhou Ao looked at the spacious space around him, and then looked at the various functional areas on the map, which were densely packed throughout the fortress.
He couldn't imagine the size of the mobile fortress anymore.
As the doors of the functional area opened to both sides, the sci-fi scene came into his eyes, once again plunging Zhou Ao's brain into a blank.
