"Speaking of the Sword"

"Your Internet café environment is not bad." Xu Zhiyan looked at the furnishings in the store.

"Four-dimensional Internet café......" she propped up her chin with interest, "Miracle-themed Internet cafes are a bit rare." ”

I saw that the inside of the Internet café was full of miracle posters, and the interior was also made into the appearance of a miracle UI, and even the grass in the summoner's canyon was used as a partition between each area, and even the convenience store in the Internet café became "Akali's Mystery Shop".

There are a lot of people in the Internet café, and the sound of keyboards is endless.

It's just that, as a miracle-themed Internet café, there are not many people in it who are playing miracles.

For today's young people, it's a game played by the previous generation.

Decades ago, as the first MOBA5v5 multiplayer competitive game in China, Miracle gained a lot of popularity as soon as it came out, and it was a super-phenomenal terminal game at that time.

Even it directly led to the development of the domestic e-sports industry, and for a while, all kinds of large and small real-time competitive games also became popular.

This fire is a whole era.

"Of course, let me tell you, I'm a miracle hardcore player." Xu Shi talked about his interests, and Qiu Yi instantly became excited:

"Have you ever heard of the Black and White Clan?"

Black & White Team ......

Xu Zhiyan was slightly stunned.

Then, an imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Besides, I've heard of it......

Qiu Yi didn't notice the subtle expression of the other party, and said to himself: "I still remember that global league in 27. ”

"That, Clash of the Gods!"

At that time, Lin Shen, the first captain of black and white, had retired for two years, and the new captain Zuo Liang led black and white to live up to expectations and reach the finals.

"It was the longest professional match ever in Miracle's history, the ancient creatures had reached the point where they couldn't be killed, the players' equipment was changed and changed, and the heroes on the field could be killed by super soldiers at any time."

When both mental and physical strength are approaching the limit, any small mistake can be infinitely magnified.

"In the end, black and white lived up to expectations and won the world championship 3:2."

"When I was just a high school student, I stole my family's money to buy a plane ticket and walked 20 kilometers to the airport in order to watch the game, but the security staff at the airport found out that my passport was fake and kicked me out."

Qiu Yi couldn't help but feel a little emotional, at that time, he was young and careless, and he was always fascinated and desperate for the passionate arena.

"So, you like this team a lot?"

"Of course!" He elongated his voice, and there was a little smug between his eyebrows, "Let me tell you, I am a miracle, and I have participated in the black and white academy before." ”

Although I didn't get selected in the end.

Author: What's this, I think I was also a Tsinghua student back then.

"Hey-" Xu Zhiyan suddenly beckoned to him mysteriously and leaned close to his ear: "If I say that I can help you get a black and white signature, do you believe it?" ”

“……”

Qiu Yi almost said, "Are you a fool for me?" These words were written on his face.

After 27 years of the league, Ke Yunming, one of the core members of Black and White, retired, which means that the last god-level player in the golden age of e-sports has also retired from the stage.

The Age of the Gods is over.

Today's miracles are no longer the grand occasion of the past, and the competition is becoming more and more commercial.

"Black and white have long been disbanded, the Lin team went to take over Starfall, Ke Yunming turned into a game anchor, and as for Ke Yue, the soul of black and white, he has already passed away for many years......"

Xu Zhiyan was obviously stunned for a moment, and she lowered her eyes without a trace.

Yes, my mother has been gone for many years.

If the beginning of the 21st century is the golden age of e-sports development, then Ke Yue is definitely the tears of that era.

She is a pain that everyone doesn't want to mention but can't help but remember.

When she left this world, the world began to love her.

Xu Zhiyan decided not to continue the topic, Qiu Yi motioned for the other party to follow, and took her to a private room on the second floor of the Internet café.

"This is where I usually play games by myself."

The rectangular space of about 20 square meters has built-in water dispensers, air conditioners and reclining chairs, blackout curtains to block out the warm summer sun, and ventilation fans with noise reduction treatment work 24 hours a day.

The most conspicuous thing is the central computer desk.

"24k ultra-large curved monitor, 10 cores, 12 threads, 6950x CPU, plus the latest light effect mechanical keyboard and matching headphones."

It also comes with a projector.

"How?" Qiu Yi was a little proud: "I dare to say that there is no second computer in the whole capital that can match this one." ”

The ten-core CPU is indeed the highest configuration processor that ordinary citizens can buy.

"I've given you this place, that's interesting, isn't it?"

Xu Zhiyan nodded approvingly, "Not bad." ”

She sat down in front of the computer and tried the keyboard.

Qiu Yi finally noticed something unusual, "Why do you wear long sleeves and gloves in the summer?" ”

I saw that Xu Zhiyan was tightly covered by clothing from his shoulders to his wrists, and his hands were also wrapped in thin white gloves, and only a slender and slender silhouette could be seen.

"Sunscreen."

Qiu Yi: "......? ”

"You don't understand." She was landing on wegame and casually said perfunctorily: "My hands are expensive, so I have to protect them." ”

Qiu Yi: "......??? ”

He looked surprised and thought, could it be that I had met the legendary hand model?

"And yes." Xu Zhiyan added: "Remind you, I have a habit of cleanliness, so I usually don't have physical contact with others. ”

Qiu Yi: "......" has a lot of problems day by day.

But he didn't dwell on it for long.

Because in the next second, Xu Zhiyan opened the end game that is the first on the list on Wegame - Shuojian.

When did miracles begin to decline?

I guess that's when VR engines began to be widely used in games.

VR is virtual reality technology, and it is clear that open-world games with a high degree of freedom and exploration have a natural advantage over real-time competitive games.

With the advancement of VR technology, people are gradually no longer satisfied with single-player games such as VR audio games, VR fighting, etc.

As a result, RPG open-world games, which had been in the doldrums for more than ten years, suddenly ushered in a period of development and upswing.

Although the existing technology is not yet able to achieve full virtual reality, it has brought some high-quality RPG mobile games to the fire.

"Speaking of Sword" is one of the best.

As an experimental product of Starfall's seventh-generation rendering engine, Shuojian has attracted a large number of players with its ultra-high particle effects and image quality, unique martial arts style, as well as perfect combat mechanics and social rules.

And Starfall also officially released a statement, and soon after, "Speaking Sword" will be VRIZED.

This has undoubtedly greatly increased the popularity of the sword.

Most of the people in Internet cafes are also playing this game.

"Seriously, you quit two years ago, and I really didn't think you'd come back." Qiu Yi said, "What about your previous number? ”

"Sold."

"And you this time?"

"I'm going to practice again." Xu Zhiyan has already opened the game and selected the server.

"Aren't you going to the new district?" Qiu Yi was very surprised, because Xu Zhiyan still chose District 1.

This is also the district service where he is located.
