Red Alert II, a national game that can be said to be a household name in the Celestial Empire.

At the beginning of the 21st century, when home computers were becoming more popular, every Internet café must have a red alert installed in its computer, and countless people were addicted to it. Wielding keyboards and mice, they command torrents of steel on map after map to tear enemies to shreds and win......

"Red Alert Two, I'm too familiar with this!"

Seeing that many people in the Zhongzhou team showed a mixture of surprise and nostalgia on their faces, Zheng Zha immediately smiled: "When I was in school, the most played in the nearby Internet café was basically Red Alert No. 2 except for CS. ”

"I think back then, I was a step-tan coordination, attacking invincible opponents all over the world on three sides, and beating the group of rookies who could only brainlessly come out of high-tech out of the Guangling tank and say anything about the 8,000 Apocalypse Blitzkrieg. After winning dozens of them in a row, I was recognized as the 'Little Prince of Red Police' in my class, and I had no enemies under my command at all......"

"Stop, stop, stop."

Yang Yun had to interrupt Zheng Zha's self-boasting and bring the topic back on track: "I won't complain about the title of 'Little Prince of Red Police' that is similar to the 'Fishing Prince'...... Before bragging next time, at least get the pronunciation right. ”

Zheng Zha, who read the typo, immediately blushed, but fortunately, Qi Tengyi helped him out of the siege by the side: "This is also normal, right?" Just as I often pronounce Soviet air defense ships as 'conch' instead of the correct 'sea scorpion', which is a very common mistake. ”

"That's right, it's just a pronunciation, you don't have to take it that seriously." Zheng Zhe, who came to an illiterate operation, hurriedly tried to salvage his reputation: "Don't care about this kind of detail, let's discuss and discuss matters related to Red Alert II...... I remember that the game was divided into two factions, the Soviets and the Allies, each country with its own unique units, and each faction had its own corresponding superweapon. ”

"The Soviets have an Iron Curtain device that can make units invincible for a certain period of time and a nuclear bomb silo that fires devastating attacks, while the Allies have a chrono converter that can teleport units to any corner of the map, and a weather weapon that unleashes a lightning storm to destroy the enemy. These superweapons are powerful enough to change the tide of battle with a single hit, but each nation can only build a maximum of two, and only the Celestial Empire can build a chrono converter, a nuclear silo, and a weather controller at the same time......"

With a snap, Yang Yun covered his face, and Qi Tengyi, who also played Red Alert 2 in college, shook his head with black lines, and Cheng Xiao laughed out loud next to him.

"What's the matter, is there something wrong with what I said?"

The reaction of the three of them made Zheng Zhe's heart weak for a while, and he knew that he must have gone wrong. But when the man recalled the content of the game he had played, and confirmed that there was no problem with his memory, his voice became louder again: "The Celestial Empire is stronger than other countries, whether it is a basic army, a tank, or even a minecart can float on water......"

"Brother Zheng Zha......"

Luo Gandao, who couldn't listen to it, sighed and pointed out the mistake in Zheng Zhe's words: "Even a young man like me knows that in the game of Red Alert II, the Celestial Empire does not exist as an optional country." ”

"Huh? How is this possible? ”

Hearing the shocking facts spoken by Luo Gandao, Zheng Zha's first reaction after a short period of flute was to deny it: "Obviously, the page at the beginning of the game reads Red Alert II-Radiance of the Republic?" How could it be that you can't control the Celestial Empire? ”

"Because the one you're playing is the original MOD version, the original game is called Red Alert II, and there is no suffix similar to 'Radiance of the Republic'."

Yang Yun said helplessly, the previous typos were fine, but Zheng Zha's current words represent his understanding of this game, which is not as deep as he boasted before: "For some well-known reasons, the games you play in Internet cafes are basically pirated after cracking, and on the basis of piracy, various versions have been developed that have been modified by others, and the Glory of the Republic is one of the most well-known Red Alert two mods...... Zheng Zha, don't you really think that the Celestial Empire in the game is a bit too strong? ”

"Although it is true that there are a large number of players who think that this version is the original game, and the popularity in China even surpasses the original version, it is based on destroying the balance of the game...... If you think about it with your brain, can you really exist in RTS games where you can fight the Rhino Tank for 200 yuan, and the mining vehicles that can run like flying and even walk on water? ”

"Indeed." Although he hadn't played much of the game, the overlord still nodded seriously: "If there is really such a fundamentally unbalanced battle game, then the game company will be scolded to death." ”

"That's true...... It turns out that I haven't been playing the original version all along? ”

Zheng Zhe, who realized it later, now realizes that he seems to have a fundamental mistake in his perception of the game Red Alert II: "What does the original look like? In addition to fighting online with other people in the Internet café, I also played mission mode, and cleared both mission lines of the Soviet army and the Allied forces. ”

"That's not it, the Radiance of the Republic mission mode is the same as the original."

Seeing that Zheng Zhe realized his mistakes all along, Yang Yun did not continue to hit his self-confidence. Anyway, having played the game, fought against other players, and cleared the mission mode, at least it means that Zheng Zhe has a certain understanding of the worldview, but ......

"I'd better make sure...... Zheng Zha, how much do you know about the plot story of Red Alert II? ”

Facts have proved that Yang Yun's question is to the point. Because Zheng Zhe's answer was: "Huh? Is there still a plot story for Red Alert II? Isn't it just the mission objective in the upper left corner of the screen to wipe out all the enemies? ”

"I knew ......"

Yang Yun covered his cheeks in pain, although he had heard before that it was much easier to teach a child who knew nothing from scratch than an adult who knew nothing about certain knowledge, but firmly believed that he was the right one. Because children only learn knowledge, and adults will use crooked reasoning to raise the bar with you: "I know it, Zheng Zha, you must not have watched the corresponding cutscenes, you have not understood the plot story of Red Alert II, you don't understand the background under this worldview, you only know that you have to break through all the enemies......"

For Zheng Zhe, who was full of doubts written on his face, Yang Yun slowly exhaled a breath, and sent out the most sincere emotion from the bottom of his heart-

"Piracy harms people."
