Chapter 238: Goodbye (1st Update)
Returning to the game, Wang discovers that the Far Traveler has entered waiting mode.
It began to rain on the sea, and in the light rain, the Far Traveler hummed a song with ease, smiled and waved his hand as the king began to move again, and then continued on his way.
In the sound of relaxed music, Lao Wang followed his traveler all the way.
The boy with only eyes is a very qualified companion, he can't speak, he can only communicate his emotions with the sound of a flute and his eyes, but these are enough.
In the middle of the sea, long planks float on the surface of the sea like a pontoon, and the undulating sea is quiet for a moment, as if time is still here, except for the blue sky and white clouds.
Landing on the pontoon, the boy walked slowly towards the door, and with each step, the planks made a light sound, calming people's minds.
Beckoning the king to go with him, the boy opened the shell door and led the king into the door.
Through the door, Lao Wang found himself at the bottom of the sea in an instant.
The depths of the ocean are not dark, and the lantern-like jellyfish rise and fall in the water, and schools of glowing fish surround the two of them, making the bottom of the ocean unusually bright.
The straight path leads to the distance, and the dazzling scenery makes Lao Wang's heart feel relaxed and happy, and he can't help but indulge in it.
They've walked across the ocean together, they've flown into space together, they've walked around planetary rings, they've shivered at the sheer size of the unbelievably large monsters in space.
It's a fantastic journey, no puzzles, no combat, no stats, just a simple journey.
But this time, Lao Wang saw a lot of scenery that he had never seen before, and learned a lot of scenery that only appeared in his imagination.
They are the passers-by of the world, passing slowly between heaven and earth, leaving no trace.
And Lao Wang's conch playing skills are getting better and better.
He has developed the habit of using a conch once when he has nothing to do, whether it is to express surprise or call the boy, he will subconsciously press it, and the other party can also understand his voice and respond as he should.
Scenes are connected by distinctive doors, the previous scene may be the bottom of the sea, the next second it will be a sea full of dandelions, and the fluffy seeds will sway up the wind and fly into the distance.
Sometimes, they have to climb upwards or climb alongside giant snails and watch as their surroundings grow smaller and smaller until they disappear under the clouds.
Walking and stopping, they enjoyed all the scenery on the way, but eventually came to the end.
Looking at the hall in front of him, the boy seemed to know his fate.
He looked at the hall silently, and then looked at Lao Wang, his clear eyes showed reluctance, but in the end he resolutely walked towards the hall.
Looking at the other party's back, Lao Wang didn't know what to say.
He wanted to stop it, but he knew it was the other party's fate.
This is a journey towards death, and the beauty and romance of the early stage are interpreted into a hymn to life, and death is the end of this tune.
When the boy entered the main hall, the light of the main hall lit up, and the magnificent and vast sound spread out around the hall like a morning bell and a dusk drum, spreading throughout the world.
More light is shining, more travelers are inspired, they know where this place is, and they begin to move towards this place, to find the truth here.
Looking at the light that filled the place, Lao Wang heard the boy's first and last words: "I am Xisheng of the Far Traveler, please remember me." ”
Xisheng's story ended, a long list of production staff appeared, and in the last flute of the other party, Lao Wang sat outside the main hall, picked up the conch, and played quietly.
And Lao Wang also leaned back in his chair and fell into deep thought.
He felt as if he had comprehended something, but these things were fluttering, like the first wind of spring, the first drop of rain in summer, the first fallen leaves of autumn, and the first snow of winter.
These things slowly accumulated, and finally turned into pure emotion, which lingered in his heart along with the sound of the flute.
After a long time, he exhaled and whispered, "What a good game." ”
Restarting the game, he discovers that the game's start screen has changed.
The game's opening screen changes to a wheat field, and on the ridges of the wheat field, the flute sounds, but the sound of the hope is gone.
Some Travelers will not appear again when they go, and only the stories of those Travelers whose names are still green can be experienced repeatedly, but the Travelers whose names are black can really never be experienced again.
Although Lao Wang can experience it again through other computers, it is someone else's voice, not his own.
The new random option has been turned on, and Lao Wang can already choose other far-travelers to experience, but instead of entering the game, he puts on his headphones and starts listening to the flute.
Closing his eyes, he felt like he was back on the same journey he had taken before. Wheat fields, oceans, starry sky...... All sorts of scenes ensued, making him feel as if he had really come to the game, continuing the journey that would eventually end, but still be very enjoyable.
There are quite a few players like Lao Wang.
They are often reluctant to continue after learning about a Far Traveler's story, and instead stay on the start screen and only occasionally go up and listen to music.
The emotional performance of Chinese people is more introverted, and for "Remember Me", they prefer to dissolve themselves inwardly and transform this emotion into their own strength.
But compared with the Chinese, overseas players are more outward.
The game doesn't have a lot of text, and most of them like to express their emotions in other ways, except for a few who like to break their thoughts along the way.
Musical notes, lights, brushes, emojis...... These are all tools for them to convey their emotions and awareness, which makes most of the game's stories have no language barrier and are easy for overseas players to understand.
So, the time has come to break the defense.
Domestic players thought that the reaction of Gonggong in the live broadcast room was a little excited, but after watching the performance of overseas players, they found that Gonggong was still a little conservative.
Not long after the game's release, Eric, a fan of Fangcheng Studio and a well-known streamer, got the relevant information.
He became associated with Fangcheng Studio in "Heavenly Demon", and then participated in the world competition of "Machine Spirit" and achieved a good ranking.
As soon as he found out that a new game was being released, he found a download channel on the game inn and prepared to use it to broadcast it to promote his favorite studio.
In order to be able to better experience the content of the game, he did not search for the game's information to prevent spoilers, and then assumed the game environment and started the live broadcast of "Please Remember Me".
"Today's live broadcast of "Please Remember Me", this is a new game from Fangcheng Studio, but it doesn't seem to be produced by their studio, but recommended by their boss Fangcheng. I recommend you to buy the game of Fangcheng Studio, and you can ask me for a refund if you buy something that is not fun. ”
Holding the controller, Eric started the game while talking in the live broadcast room, stirring up the atmosphere of the live broadcast.
Although the recent popularity is good, Eric's attitude is still the same as before, neither humble nor arrogant, except for a little more business orders and a higher price, there is no change from before.
In addition, he is the first player to pass the game perfectly in "Heavenly Demon", this honor makes him a well-known hardcore player in the anchor circle, and the scene of calmly dodging the boss killer move at the end is a masterpiece of the gods.
"Although I didn't know the plot of "Remember Me", judging from the name and cover, it should be a game with some healing elements. I don't play many of these games, but I've heard that they don't have any difficulty, so I should be fine. Oh, someone launched a paid challenge, and the ending doesn't cry...... It seems that there are already spoilers that someone can't wait for. If you say that, then I can't cry. ”
Paid challenges are a tipping model often seen on Eric's live streaming platform, where viewers can pay to initiate a challenge and others can follow suit.
This mode can have a good interactive effect and make the audience in the live broadcast room more involved.
The general challenges include "Heavenly Demon" one-life clearance, "Bpex" killstreak to meet the standard, "Hollow Knight" four locks and five doors, and so on.
Streamers will be rewarded with money when they complete it, and it doesn't matter if they fail, just complete some of the extra small requests made by the viewers.
After determining the goal of the challenge, Eric started the game directly, and the rhythm shook slightly on the game start screen.
"The music is good, I love it. The sound effects of Fangcheng Studio are very good, and when playing "Heavenly Demon", you can even judge what skills the boss is using through the sound effects of the other party. But they haven't had much background music, and this is a big breakthrough. ”
"The graphics are also amazing, as always. Judging from the graphics alone, the atmosphere of this game has reached the peak of what I can imagine, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to surpass it for a while. ”
"I saw my counterpart Far Traveler, a tin man, who doesn't like to talk much. It's a bit like my dad, who doesn't talk much. ”
"It's been an hour of playing, and I still haven't seen any tears. Although I didn't play any particularly explosive content, I still like this style now. It was like drinking tea with friends, and I liked the tranquil atmosphere. ”
“…… It doesn't feel good, the other slime-like Traveler I just met doesn't seem to be leaving. I wanted to see what it was, but the Tin Man dragged me away. Can anyone who knows about the slime tell me what's wrong with it? It's okay if you don't say it, I can probably guess. ”
"Another Far Traveler has disappeared, is the death rate of the Far Traveler in this game so high? I didn't cry, I just had a little sour in the corners of my eyes. ”
"Is this the end of the hall? I don't think I played for long. Okay, the main hall has been seen, let's go back. ”
"Can anyone tell me which button is going back? I feel like there should be a button to get us back. ”
"No...... That's not right. I get it, this must be an easter egg from Fangcheng Studios, we can try to cut out the game and then cut in, or press some special button and the console will appear and let us go back. ”
Pressing every button on the keyboard, Eric found nothing.
He even tried again like a flight simulator, but found nothing.
Standing outside the main hall, he simply let go of the keyboard and did not operate, ready to freeze the journey at this moment.
However, the Tin Man just stared at the hall for a long time, then turned around and gently touched Eric's head.
Then, he strode towards the main hall and disappeared into the light of the main hall, leaving only his name, "Airong the Far Traveler".
Eric, who was still looking for the return button, watched the other party leave blankly, and his heart was a little blocked.
Although he felt a little sour at the corners of his eyes, he could still control his emotions, shrugged his shoulders at the camera and smiled: "It's a good story, but on the whole, it's more moving, but it's still a little bit close to making people cry uncontrollably." Well, it's getting late, it's time for us to rest. ”
Eric, who succeeded in the challenge, ended the live stream and yawned and prepared to rest.
Before shutting down, he deliberately reopened the game once, and found that the game screen had been frozen in the abandoned factory where he met with Airong, but the familiar tin man was gone.
Go to bed, turn off the light, he usually sleeps on the pillow, but he can't sleep today.
His father went as a volunteer, and he was the only one left in the room.
Through his bedroom window, he could see the bright sky outside.
The moonlight was good, the moonlight falling on the roof was like a layer of snow, and as time passed, the moon slowly climbed out of the side of the window and slowly climbed to the middle of the window.
Erik, who was awakened by the moonlight, simply didn't sleep.
He got up, put the pillow behind his back, watched the moon creep to the top, and slowly climbed out of the window.
When the moon went down and the sun rose, the distant sky was dyed with a bright red light, which greatly moved Eric, who had slept late and woke up late, who had not seen the sunrise for a long time.
"Moxa, look!"
Subconsciously shouted, and Eric fell silent suddenly.
It wasn't until this moment that he realized that he had been involved in a game character for most of his life.
He followed the other party through mountains and rivers, saw a lot of magnificent scenery, and reached the end all the way, witnessed the sacrifice of the other party, and learned the other party's name.
Although they have only been together for ten hours, the story has already had an indelible impact on him, making him remember the other person's name forever, Airong.
It wasn't until this moment that the anchor, who was still twenty years old, realized what he had gained and what he had lost.
An old friend is gone forever, his story is no longer available, and his own experience with the other person will become a unique asset, and his most unique gaming experience in recent times.
Facing the magnificent morning sun, Eric wiped the corners of his eyes and finally said his farewell that he had not been able to say.
"Goodbye, Mugwort."
