Chapter 037: The Game
Brave New World.
In a café, a middle-aged man sits by the window, leisurely drinking coffee and reading the magazine in front of him.
"Hi, Arthur."
A friend passing by greeted him,
"Shouldn't you go boxing this afternoon, with your new friend?"
Arthur shook his head with a wry smile,
"I went to him this morning and I have moved out. As for everyone else, it seems that they are all playing games, and I heard that "Gold Miner" is quite popular? ”
Gold Miner is a popular game in Brave New World, full simulation, with the assistance of NPCs, players can manipulate various equipment to dig gold mines and obtain points rewards.
Points can be exchanged for various tools to purchase mining farms.
Some people even spend a lot of points in order to buy skins.
Sounds good. It's not a lot of fun.
At least, Arthur wasn't very interested in the game, and some people were fascinated.
It is said that this game has a special anti-addiction system to ensure that players can indulge to the greatest extent.
Most games on the market today have this mechanic, and essentially, the game was designed to be addictive from the very beginning.
Why else design games, disgusting?
Hearing Arthur's question, the man replied with a smile,
"Gold miners? Except for the top players, this game is almost unplayed, at least around me. They're all starting to mine with oversized excavators.
Now everyone is playing "My Never Infringe World", the degree of simulation is not high, after entering, it is a block man, but it is more fun to build, you have to get used to this pixel style"
As soon as these words came out, some people immediately raised objections,
"Minecraft? What's the point of this game, it's not as good as "Science Chicken Q&A", every night at eight o'clock, the world broadcasts a live quiz show, and the winner of each round of quiz can kill the eliminated person with his own hands until only one person survives in the end. I once succeeded in eating chicken, and I swear it was the coolest moment of my life! I even tattooed that day on my arm! ”
With the addition of more discussants, the originally quiet café instantly became noisy.
"Science Eats Chicken is just a nerd game, do you know who designed it? My friend! We're playing a Game Designer game, and the game that's designed will be put into Brave New World, and based on the results of various tests, the game will be rated, and then the resources will be promoted."
"Game designer? I still have to beat three more games to qualify for the Game Designer's closed beta! ”
"It's better to play the latest "Fourth Apocalypse", this game has a very new idea, you, as a wasteland lord in another world, need to trick a group of players into a different world as the fourth natural disaster, as much as possible not to let players realize that they are players"
“.”
The café was like a cold water pouring sulfuric acid into it, and it suddenly boiled.
Everybody is talking about games, everybody is playing games, and it's become an integral part of their lives.
No one noticed, and Arthur put away the magazine and quietly left the café.
Even walking down the street, Arthur could hear people around him discussing various games, and the names of the games were constantly coming out of their mouths.
During this time, the people of Brave New World are particularly fond of playing games, indulging in them, and can't extricate themselves.
Of course, in the brave new world, intelligent beings can do whatever they want, this is their freedom, and this is also the beautiful place of this new world.
Everything works out as it should be.
There are no more regrets, no more deficiencies, everything is so perfect, charming, and intoxicating.
Brave New World, Walking with Light.
Listening to everyone's discussions, Arthur unconsciously quickened his pace, and in the end, he even used the authority of Brave New World to directly open the door in front of him and return to his home.
Arthur threw the magazine on the table, sat down at the computer desk, and turned it on.
A rudimentary interface appeared in front of Arthur, and lines of data emerged:
"Current number of games in the background: 1627."
"Gold miners, number of people online: 6000W."
"My, No Infringement, World, Number of Online: 13000W"
"Game Designers, Online: 521"
“.”
"Admin: Online."
That's right, Arthur manages the backstage of these games.
Of course, this is also a commission from someone, and it was Ludon who made him do it.
Arthur just didn't expect that in just three months, things would develop like this!
There are more and more games, and so are the players.
In the beginning, players also need to remotely control their bodies to achieve 100% simulation, and the number of people online is very limited.
One of the most humble games, Paradise Lost, has only 4,000 slots.
Later, things gradually began to spiral out of control.
There are more admins in the background, more and more new games are being uploaded, and the number of places is gradually decreasing.
For example, "Science Q&A Chicken", on the first day of its launch, there was a limit of 300 places.
However, most of the content of the Q&A is related to cloning and making biological bodies, and the players who participated in the game did their homework in advance and started round after round of Q&A battles, and in the end, only one person had the last laugh.
As a result, by the next day, the number of places in "Science Q&A Chicken" soared to 5,000 people!
It's as if they have overcome many scientific research difficulties overnight!
Inside Brave New World, Arthur has a hard time guessing what's going on outside.
However, this does not prevent him from saying a word of admiration.
Arthur picked up his coffee cup and said with emotion,
"It's the funniest Ludon I've seen in years."
Obviously, he is looking forward to what new tricks the other party can come up with.
Just as Arthur was sighing, a new game was launched.
Arthur expertly clicked on the game package and checked the game content for the first time.
But when he saw it clearly, his face changed slightly.
