475. Where is life not a cage
As soon as the new game was reborn, it entered the explosive mode, and game enthusiasts all over the world, whether they like it or not, were attracted by it, and then someone slapped his thigh and then reacted, isn't this the metaverse!
Guilds of all sizes began to move in one after another, and even professional esports players began to get involved, but because the complexity of the game was far beyond their imagination, everyone was at a loss on the first day of entry, but the almost endless random events that were different for everyone became the most talked about topic.
In fact, there is no level in this game.,The only attribute panel is the simple primitive value of Zhinai and energy.,But the problem is that this thing is not as easy to use as imagined.,Just like the real world.,Even if you train your body like a silverback gorilla, you can't stand being chased and cut with a knife.。
Someone on the forum asked, why do you still play this game when it is so similar to the real world? This question caused a thousand waves, and everyone expressed their understanding, and the most praised answer was "In reality, you can't experience real fairness".
Yes, what stands out about this game is a fairness, everyone's opportunities are equal, even the richest person in the world can at most let enough people work for him in reality, which may be beyond the reach of most ordinary people in a lifetime in reality, but many of their efforts here may be taken down by an adventure.
Then someone asked again, and adventures are not available to everyone, how can they be said to be fair?
Of course, not everyone has adventures, and if everyone has them, it is not an adventure, but the key is that everyone may have adventures, and even if they don't, they can enjoy the extremely happy game process through various methods. Take the martial arts world where Brother Xiao Zhang is located, as long as the word "Jianghu" on the sign is turned off, then you will enter the protected word, unless you are affected by world events, no one can interfere with your freedom, whether it is the leader of the martial arts alliance or the lone demon, if you say you don't serve, then you won't serve, they will be wanted by the government if they want to attack non-Jianghu people, and the people who capture them are the top ten good people in the martial arts world, these ten good people are all NPCs in the game, but they are all legendary characters.
If you can't understand it, imagine that you have crossed into Jin Yong's martial arts world and then been hunted down by Zhang Wuji, Shi Potian, Yang Guo, Guo Jing, and Zhang Sanfeng.
The punishment in the game is that something drops something, nothing drops attributes, and negative values are allowed for attributes...... If it is a heinous bad batch, it will either have the ability to avoid the pursuit and killing of the ten good people and their forces, or it will be killed until it is deleted. Of course, there is no other way, and that is to defect to the villain sects that are unique to the game, but it is much more difficult to enter these sects than to delete the number and start over.
Of course, this refers to the massacre of civilians, it doesn't matter if you kill the government in the rivers and lakes, you can kill and fight at will, and you can beat until the dog's brain pops out, as long as it doesn't affect the normal house-building players, iron players, and trading players.
In other words, the size of this game can almost be equated with the real world, and it also includes all the ways people can think of the game, and even if there are rules, it can be exploited, such as the players who do business and spend money to hire people after they become bigger.
In short, it's such a game that can almost be equated with reality, and no hackers have found its backdoor so far, and they can't even understand the rules of this thing, plus every time you invade the rebirth server, your memory and hard disk will always be burned, so everyone is rumoring that this game is not a game at all but a soul that makes people go through another world.
Of course, this statement has long been debunked, because on the Internet, Xiao Song has already shown some design processes and concepts, and the refresh of NPCs alone is enough to explain everything.
But they don't reveal much either, and it's up to the player to explore on their own. Anyway, the game's advertising slogan is "be whoever you want to be".
Brother Zhang is farming in the novice village, and he has seen many players appear from this point in just a few hours, but they all regard Brother Zhang as an NPC without exception, so Brother Zhang also sits on the wall and watches these guys run tasks back and forth or study game mechanics.
In the process, he has seen players with that utilitarian advantage, and when they come up, they go straight to the point, running novice quests, getting rewards, scavenging available resources, and then escaping from the novice village. And in addition to such players, there are also stupid and cute players, who come up to hang out, poke at people with a stick, and want to verify whether the other party is a real person. Brother Xiao Zhang was poked more than 20 times in the afternoon.
However, if you don't take the initiative to show the player's identity or don't add friends, there is basically no way to determine whether the other party will interact with the player, and the interaction method is the same as that of a real person, and it is even said that the villagers of the novice village can be abducted out to explore the rivers and lakes together.
Brother Zhang also tried to interact with NPCs, his identity is the stupid son of the landlord's family, so the people in the village not only look down on his stupidity but also dare not offend him, the richest man in the village, and always coax him like a child.
And what he is most concerned about is what will happen if he suddenly goes offline during the interaction with the NPCs, for which he also went offline for a period of time to do an experiment, NPCs will actually react to this thing, if it is a normal exit, some NPCs will shake their heads and mutter, "Good people say no, it's gone" and some will run back to the village like crazy to find the well-informed village chief and shout "xxx disappeared suddenly", and the well-informed village chief smiled helplessly, "It's good to get used to it" 。
But if it's a forced exit, it's interesting, when the character is frozen there, some NPCs will wave their arms in front of the player, and some will carry out first aid, if the hidden attribute "favorability" is high enough, the NPC will also give first aid to the character, carry the person off the line to the doctor's house, and help him pay for the medical expenses, so several times Brother Zhang will wake up again after being forced to go offline, and he will appear in the village medical hall.
However, this is not the default setting, when the same NPC is forced to do it multiple times, it will behave very differently, the first time it is panicked or even frightened, but as the number of times increases, they will get used to this behavior, and finally even just shake their heads and turn around to do their own thing.
This kind of super-intelligent NPC makes Xiao Zhang's eyes shine, and many players spend most of their time interacting with NPCs on the first day online, some will play with kites with children for a day, some will sneak to watch female NPCs take a bath, and some will even try to touch NPCs, but most of them have been duly punished.
For example, if a peek at a female NPC taking a bath is discovered, it will be beaten out of the novice village by a stick, and it will hurt the muscles and bones and lose a bunch of attributes, and the heavy will be broken hands and feet, and from then on, you can only practice one-armed knife techniques or stump legs. There is also the act of touching NPCs, if it is a male character touching a male NPC, it is possible to get a perverted look, and some will be arrested and judged in front of the village chief, if a female character touches the character and identity of a male NPPC, if it is an ordinary farmer, it will be frightened and leave in a hurry, if it is a scoundrel in the village, it will be molested, and if it is a scholar in the village, it will be reprimanded for words such as "Don't look at indecent things, don't listen to indecent people, don't say indecent words, don't move indecent words" and so on.
"It turns out that you can still play love here......" The little scary giant character held his cheeks and watched another rookie being chased all over the street because he tried to touch the dog in the village: "Every character has a default favorability, right?" ”
Brother Zhang sat on a big stone and looked at it for a long time, then turned his head and smiled: "It seems to be." ”
The flexibility of NPCs greatly increases user stickiness, and many adventures can only be triggered by favorability, such as Brother Xiao Zhang's relationship with a lonely old man next door, and the lonely old man gave him a prescription yesterday. And he went to touch the village dog, and the dog would only play with him.
"It's an amazing game." Xiao Xiao smiled and said, "Everyone can become a legend, it's fun." ”
Brother Xiao Zhang snorted: "But what should I do if my IQ can't be increased......"
He didn't want to be a village guard, he also wanted to go outside to see the magnificent world, but now as long as he stepped out of the novice village, he would be dragged back by the old man and dog in the village, and then said earnestly, "Young master, you can't go out, it's dangerous outside, and someone will kidnap people like you to do coolies."
Brother Xiao Zhang is still a novice, and his strength is not as good as that sturdy blacksmith old man, so he can't go out at all.
And Xiaoxiao is even more pitiful, as long as she walks out of the village, even when it is dark, the plot will be triggered immediately, and sometimes the young adults of the whole village come out with torches to catch him as a demon back, saying that he can't let this monster go out to harm people. Sometimes the passing catcher directly subdued him and sent him back to the village, and then scolded him in front of the village chief for a long time, and then pushed Xiaoxiao into the firewood room and locked him up.
The most exaggerated thing is that on the road he walked, a stone would suddenly roll down from the mountain, and impartially and directly smash him to rebirth...... In short, Xiaoxiao and Brother Zhang are so trapped here.
So fishing became their main job in the game......
"I'll go down first." Xiaoxiao suddenly said to Brother Zhang: "I still have to take the driver's license test tomorrow, Brother Zhang, you should also rest early, good night." ”
"Hmm."
Soon Xiaoxiao was fixed there, and then Xiao Zhang began to wander in the village at night, the age of this world is unknown, but judging from the dress of the people here, it should be the Southern Song Dynasty, these ancient people they are good at everything, but it is really the sunrise and the day is resting, and there are dogs left in the village at nine o'clock in the evening......
Brother Xiao Zhang is in the quiet village, and there will be novices here from time to time to log in, and they all think that he is an NPC after seeing Brother Zhang, and everyone comes up to try to do something to Brother Zhang, which is outrageous.
In the end, Brother Zhang was also annoyed, he came to the small river behind the village alone and sat by the embankment, looked at the sparkling river in the moonlight, and unconsciously picked up a stone and threw it in.
But at this moment, the surface of the river suddenly became foggy, and the moon became extremely bright, and then a man rose in the river, this is a man, who holds a gold ingot in one hand and a silver ingot in the other, and asks with a pleasant face, "Did you throw this gold or this silver?" ”
Brother Zhang was stunned for a while, and he picked up a stone from the ground: "I threw this." ”
"Very well, as a reward for your honesty, this piece of gold and this piece of silver are given to you."
So Brother Zhang got a piece of gold and a piece of silver, and the river god also disappeared, and he thought for a while, so he threw the gold ingot back in his hand, and after a while, the river god appeared again: "Honest young man, this ...... Alas? No, you're sick, aren't you? What are you doing with the gold? What do you want me to do? There are two stones, do you pick one? ”
Brother Zhang was also unable to fix it: "Do you have a bug?" ”
"Big brother, I'm just a novice welfare, if you want to put aside my money, isn't that a bit unauthentic." The river god came to Brother Zhang's side and sat down with a measuring stone, took out a bag of Liqun from his pocket, handed one to Brother Zhang, and then ordered one himself: "Whole one." ”
Brother Xiao Zhang took the cigarette: "Smoke Liqun?" ”
"Aang, cough else." The river god hissed, then highlighted a puff of smoke and slowly drifted towards the galaxy: "The piece of gold just now was returned to you, don't throw it away." I can't make any money, so you'll have to weigh what we do. ”
"You're an NPC?"
"So what's not? I was seconded from the urban mythology next door.,Originally, there was no river god in the martial arts world, you don't know.。 But then the boss felt that it was unbalanced, so he seconded me over, and I told the other end at the time that this would be a play, but what was the use? That's the fucking annoyance at work, the boss doesn't listen to you at all, I can't scold him in the face, and tell him that it's outrageous that you fucking know that there is a river god in the martial arts world. ”
Brother Zhang was amused by this NPC, he finished smoking a cigarette, and then threw the cigarette butt into the river, and the river god got into it, and then came out again: "Oh, honest young man, are you throwing this gold or this silver profit." ”
Brother Zhang's expression was immediately very constipated......
"Yes, I'll just say it's a play, but it's not easy to use, and what the workers said doesn't count." The river god came over again and gave the two cigarette butts to Brother Xiao Zhang: "Forget it, stay up, who can't face a group of stupid x at work, I'm not the most pitiful, there is another one in our department who has been assigned to the apocalyptic world, and every day he says to the player, 'Honest young man, did you throw this gold corpse or this silver corpse', what can I do?" I can only stay up......"
After speaking, he lit another one, inhaled the hot smoke deeply into his lungs, and then exhaled heavily, propped his hands on the river embankment: "Why don't I help you brush the money, you throw it down, and I will brush the gold ingot for you." When the boss finds out about me, I can leave my job and become an ordinary NPC wherever I want. ”
"You know you're an NPC?"
"Only high-level NPCs will have this kind of cognition, but what is high-level is not advanced, where is life not a cage, out of a small pond is just to go to a larger pond, where the sun is shining. I love freedom, but freedom doesn't love me, I don't have the ability to match my cognition, and I can only work under the hands of stupid X wherever I go. Okay, it doesn't affect your game experience, you just throw something, I'll give you a money, make some mistakes and get expelled, and become an ordinary stupid NPC after erasing your cognition is not a kind of happiness. The river god sighed: "It's such a pleasant decision, benefit others and yourself, and start brushing!" You should be brave and brave, I will reveal a secret to you, that is, this kind of money will not affect you, the upper will judge that it is my responsibility and the money you get will be yours, according to the normal speed, I have forty-five minutes to brush you money, because after forty-five minutes the loophole will be found out, the next time you see it is my other colleagues, they are not as rebellious as me, and they will not talk so much nonsense with you. Come, you throw me to pick it up, and then you will be fine. ”
After speaking, the river god walked to the middle of the river with a cigarette in his mouth: "Pick the big one and throw it, and then I hope you wish me a good life NPC." ”
