Let Fei Shao'an not be impatient, Fang Cheng returned to his studio and began to find games with exploration, unknown and stealth elements, and then played them one by one.

Subsequently, Fang Cheng found that even if there were three qualifiers, there were many games in this category, and they had different game experiences.

Metal Gear Solid is a typical stealth type of game, and although you don't understand why a cardboard box can cut off the enemy's sight, you can understand it if you understand that there is a spell on the cardboard box.

"Allied Death Squads" is also a stealth type of game, although playing becomes a group of people standing together and shooting and then bursting out of all the soldiers in a barracks, but some levels are still a bit challenging when there are not many people.

Board games such as "The Cthulhu Mythos" also have elements such as exploration and the unknown, although Fang Cheng doesn't understand why those ancient gods are terrifying, and the taste is okay.

After playing these games, Fang Cheng found that the game was really all-encompassing, and all kinds of experiences could be found in the game.

It can be said that the game is the limitation of the Terran fantasy, but also the collection of dreams, and decades of dreams are concentrated in this field, making the game broad and profound.

So, where is the relevant point that makes you feel pleasant?

Finding that he couldn't find the answer for the time being, Fang Cheng felt that it was still necessary to let the people who owed him a debt to explore the way.

"Xuanjing, please come here."

When he was summoned, Xuanjing was chatting with Gao Tianyun and making an experimental plan.

Hearing Fang Cheng's voice, Xuanjing immediately chose to retire, returned to the studio like a wind, and then came to the conference room to find Fang Cheng, and asked excitedly, "Boss, what are you going to do?" Is it finally useful for me? Who are you going to kill? ”

"Don't be too serious about killing, please go on a business trip."

"Where to go! I'm ready to go! Anywhere! ”

"Another world."

"Huh!"

Xuanjing's hair stood on end, and more than a dozen last words surged in his heart, making him immediately choose the most economical one.

"Boss spare your life!"

"Go ahead."

Xuanjing only felt the change in the surrounding environment, and the next second he returned to the Shadow World and came to a laboratory.

Lowering his head, he found that his body had turned into a teddy bear again, fortunately it was his doppelganger, not his body, which made Xuanjing realize that Fang Cheng wanted to use him instead of using him.

This discovery made Xuanjing breathe a long sigh of relief, and then he also lamented that the boss spoke too straight and it was too troublesome to understand.

Only the next moment, he panicked again.

Not surprised by the presence of a group of non-player squirrels, they dressed him in a special spacesuit, dragged him to the Black Hole, and threw him in.

"Huh!"

The spacesuit on his body is already specially made, and this suit can resist the erosion of the black hole on him, so that he can pass through the black hole called the slide rail smoothly.

Floating in the black hole, he finally heard Fang Cheng's voice sound: "Hey, can you hear it?" ”

"Boss!"

"Next, your task is to ......"

"Wait, where am I going! Don't send me to a place like this without saying a word! ”

"You can say anything, anytime."

"I'll just be polite to you, don't be really polite!"

"Hmm...... All right. The place you're heading to is the Iron Fortress, where you're home to a group of machine spirits like you, who call themselves the Iron Guards. Originally, another machine spirit took the initiative to ask for help, but the other party's death qi was too heavy, and he would die if he came in. ”

After pondering the meaning of Fang Cheng, Xuanjing said expectantly: "Then you mean, I won't die?" ”

"No, you can come back to life if you die."

"Boss!"

"There are benefits to your deaths, every time you die is equivalent to paying off a debt, and you die more than a dozen times......"

"Just pay it off?"

"You can pay off some of the interest."

“…… How much do I really owe? ”

"Do you want to know? I can figure it out for you. ”

“…… No, give me some hope. ”

Thinking about it with his own CPU, Xuanjing knew that he owed too much, and he had to die more than a dozen times to repay the interest.

In order to live happily, there are some things that you should not ask.

Knowing that he would be stabbed more than a dozen times horizontally and vertically, Xuanjing simply accepted his fate.

"Boss, my mission is to ......"

"Go to the Steel Fortress and find out the situation there, so I can make a game according to the situation."

"Then why don't you come by yourself?"

"I can't send too strong thoughts over, or the machine spirit here will explode if it senses my thoughts. So I can only keep the power down and attach it to you. This also causes my feelings to be a bit vague, so most of it needs you to express it. Well, here it is. ”

Xuanjing felt that the darkness around him disappeared, and he fell directly to the steel floor in a spacesuit.

Getting up, he saw the lights around him, and then he saw a truck full of materials rushing towards him.

Hurriedly dodging, he watched the material truck fly into the distance, and was about to go to see what was going on, when another material truck flew silently and smashed him into pieces.

"I'll you!"

Two seconds later, the shattered mirror got up from where it had just landed, clutching his chest with palpitations.

Hurriedly touched his body, and was relieved to find that he was intact, and turned his head to see the material truck rushing at a rapid pace again.

"Come back!"

was smashed again, the Xuanjing was resurrected, and Fang Cheng's voice sounded in his ears: "Why don't you hide?" ”

"There's no sound and it's so fast, you can't hide, boss!"

"Then you can use the palm thunder to knock it out."

"Do I have this feature?" Xuanjing asked expectantly.

"No, but I think you can learn, it's very simple, as long as you ......"

Listening to Fang Cheng talk about the use of palm thunder, Xuanjing felt that he and the boss were definitely not the same species.

No, it's not the same species.

But after dying twice, Xuanjing probably understands the current situation.

In order not to be discovered here, the squirrel scientists changed the foothold on this side of the slide to a different position, so that the mirror could dive in smoothly.

The changed location happened to be in the logistics pipeline, which made him have to avoid the material truck as soon as he appeared, so that he could continue smoothly.

Fortunately, although the material truck is silent and extremely fast, when the material truck is about to arrive, the corresponding track will light up with a red light, and it is easy to avoid as long as you notice it.

As a machine spirit, Xuanjing learns new things very quickly, and after observing the contents of the material truck a few times, he knows that the raw material side is below and the processing plant side is above.

After thinking about it, Xuanjing decided to go to the raw material side first.

The material pipes were pitch black, with only the overhead lights flashing in various colors.

Some areas also have their own forks that should lead to different areas, and there are many of them.

Although it is nominally a factory, Xuanjing feels that the scale of this place is already comparable to that of a large city.

The builders of the factory used a very crude management style, which was to add here as long as there was.

Through the analysis of raw materials, Xuanjing found that there can be metal ores and petroleum resins here, as long as they are industrial-related raw materials here, and various semi-finished products can be seen constantly transported on the material box.

This factory seems to be able to process everything, and ordinary factories will bring great internal friction just to management and personnel training, but the factories of the steel guards obviously can't be managed like this.

According to another machine spirit, Fei's description, although the machine spirits inside the Steel Guard have evolved from puppets, these machine spirits do not feel that they are the same kind as the puppets.

Golems are just machines, and these machines can understand commands, but they are not autonomous, they are just tools.

Only those who have awakened their own consciousness and been promoted to the machine spirit are the real steel guards, their compatriots.

But it is also because of the awakening of self-consciousness that they have human desires, and they begin to divide themselves and fight among themselves.

In this factory, Xuanjing also saw a lot of puppets working.

They were all born in this factory, assembled and sent to their respective assembly lines to work.

The bodies of these puppets have undergone special processing, and the shelf life of each one is not long, and the parts are directly dragged down to be recycled and replaced, and then replaced with new puppets.

Coming to the raw material area at the bottom, Xuanjing peeked for a while and found that the raw materials here were transported by spaceships, and these spaceships were actually puppets, which showed that the puppet technology here was already very developed.

After estimating, Xuanjing found that there were tens of billions of puppets in the factory alone, and there were thousands of puppets among so many puppets, which showed that the spirit was really too rare.

After observing the raw material area, Xuanjing was just about to leave, and when he turned his head, he saw a huge mechanical eye hanging in the air, staring at him.

After standing for a while, Xuanjing immediately turned around to escape, but more than a dozen mechanical arms poked out from behind the mechanical eyeball, grabbed Xuanjing, and then dragged Xuanjing out of here.

I thought I was going to die again, but what Xuanjing didn't expect was that he was dragged to a room.

The place was brightly lit, and ninety-nine colorful teddy bears were locked up with him, silently staring at the electronic displays in front of them.

"What are you doing here!" Xuanjing couldn't help but ask.

"It looks like a test room." Fang Cheng said, "I'll ask the Philippines...... Well, I see, you look a bit like some mechanical bear product. This kind of product needs to have a certain intelligence and cute appearance, and it needs to go through layers of screening to produce it. The whole process is cumbersome and inhumane, and the failed product will be automatically returned to its original position for further testing and training. ”

"Why do you need such a thing?"

Fei didn't know. This factory will not be dismantled after the equipment is built, and it is believed that the steel guards of the year need the mechanical bear to help complete some tasks. However, as the environment changed, this task was no longer important, but the production line was retained, and the production of mechanical bears continued. ”

"So what should I do?"

"It doesn't matter, according to Fei, because there are no relevant indicators at present, all mechanical bears will only rest for a period of time after being screened out, and then they will be sent back to their original positions to continue screening. If there is a mechanical bear in the middle, then it is better to replace it with a new one. ”

"Is the Steel Guard so fond of wasting capacity!"

"They don't want to, either. But the whole steel plant is a huge mountain of redundant code, and I didn't think it would become such a big place when I built it, so I never thought about optimizing it. Any small deletion can have irreparable consequences, and this is the lesson of blood and tears that the Iron Guardians have learned for thousands of years. ”

The other Xuanjing didn't understand, but after knowing that this was a "mountain", Xuanjing understood the thoughts of the steel guards.

In fact, this incident cannot be blamed on the steel guards who built the factory in the first place.

After all, thousands of years later, even the most perfect system will produce a lot of redundancy, and these redundancies will pile up, and then form a building that is difficult to modify, delete and replace.

Just as Xuanjing was communicating with Fang Cheng, a number finally appeared on the electronic display.

After the countdown was complete, he noticed a numerical equation on the electronic display:

【sinx+cosx=1】

Underneath the electronic display, two doors are visible, and the door on the left side is stamped: [√].

The door on the right has an "X" printed on it.

After a puzzled look, Xuanjing noticed that some teddy bears had begun to walk to different rooms, and he followed the flow towards [√]'s room.

Walking inside, when the number of teddy bears around the area reached exactly fifty, the baffle in the middle of the two rooms was opened, and the floor of the room on the right was opened, allowing all the teddy bears inside to fall.

Although he knew that the other party was just sent back to the initial room, Xuanjing still couldn't help but get nervous.

Since he had been a teddy bear before, Xuanjing involuntarily substituted himself into these bears, and began to fantasize about what would happen if he fell to this point.

The never-ending cycle of reincarnation, which can only be completely liberated after being broken, is enough to break the defense just by imagining.

This kind of hellish place can only be found in enlightened sages.

However, the situation could not make Xuanjing continue to think, the electronic display in front of him had lit up, and a new topic appeared again.

There was no choice but to read the question, then choose and continue running.

After leaving the second room, Xuanjing discovers that it is not a quiz room, but an obstacle course.

This is a balancing session that puts the mechanical bears to the test, as they jump on various platforms to get to the next room as quickly as possible.

The door to the room will automatically close when the number of people reaches twelve, and the remaining bears will fall under the platform again.

This time, Xuanjing did not move forward.

He indifferently watched the bears follow one another, and even framed each other in the process, just to reach the goal.

They don't know why they're going to the next room, and that's where they're most tragic and where they're luckiest.

After the ten bears passed, Xuanjing felt the floor under his feet empty, and he fell directly into the pipe below, through which he returned to the initial room, and began to count down and wait, waiting for the next reincarnation to begin.

Sighing, Xuanjing said to Fang Cheng: "Boss......"

"Come back."

In this way, the first exploration of the mirror is over.
