Thorn City.

At Xia Libing's third uncle and aunt's house, Xia Nianqing, who has just entered junior high school, and his younger brother Xia Tinglei, who is still in the fourth grade of primary school, are gathering on the dining table in the living room, staring at a tablet computer and watching an anchor do a live game broadcast.

Today is Sunday, my parents are not there for a while, and there is only one cousin at home who comes to eat, so these two naturally do whatever they want.

Originally, Xia Tinglei wanted to grab the tablet to play "Glory of Kings", but the tablet was occupied by his sister first, and he couldn't grab it, so he could only harass him next to him - I can't play, and you don't want to watch it to the fullest.

But looking at it, he was also attracted by the live broadcast, so the sister and brother got together and watched the live broadcast with relish.

The anchor of the live broadcast is a very famous game anchor, doing all kinds of games, what game is popular, the live broadcast effect is very strong, and the popularity is very high.

And what he uses for live streaming today is a very special game - "Sound Genesis", which has just been tested on a small scale, a game that only hears its voice, does not see its shadow, and uses its voice to participate.

The streamer followed the game's wizard and completed a few minutes of voice recognition correction, followed by a very brief character setup, and then began to match players and prepare to enter the game.

"There is a computer version of this game and a mobile version.,Although it's all done with sound.,But we can see the corresponding subtitles on the screen.,Well,Look,Now what I'm saying,He quickly recognized it and displayed it on the screen.,Oops,This recognition rate and recognition speed,It's a little scary.,I deliberately said hurry.、With a little accent doesn't have much impact.。 ”

The anchor didn't say a few words, the game was loaded, and in the somewhat eerie BGM, a thick narration sounded: "You get up from the weeds, look around, and are surprised to find that you are in a forest that you have never seen before, and you think about it carefully, you seem to have fallen asleep in the office before......"

The anchor couldn't help but say: "This voice is a bit powerful, according to the game, this should be an AI voice, but it sounds more like a real person talking regardless of the rhythm or tone, tsk, a little awesome......"

As he spoke, the game's narrator paused, and after he had finished, he continued, "You seem to have broken your head and started babbling nonsense, as if you felt that everything around you was a game right now. ”

"Damn! I'm shocked! The narrator can't really be a real person, right?! Could it be that a game is equipped with a special narrator service? No, his voice is obviously directed at me alone, we watched the previous match in this game, there are eighteen people participating, isn't it going to be matched with eighteen ......" The anchor was halfway through the conversation, and saw that there was an audience on the barrage reminding him of the "rules" of the game just now, and quickly said: "It seems that you can't turn on the voice input state to say that if you leave the game environment, I'll concentrate on playing the game first." ”

The narrator continues, "You are babbling gibberish, but you carefully and slowly move forward, stopping a few steps and observing for a while, as if you were worried that you would be disoriented. Suddenly, you hear footsteps, you follow the sound, and you see a tall young man with a bamboo basket on his back, dressed in coarse linen clothes, who looks like an ancient person, walking out from behind a big tree, and you shout: ......"

The anchor knew that this was the time when he needed to type, so he also raised his voice and shouted: "Lao Tie!"

A second after he typed his voice, the narrator continued: "The young man heard your shout, looked at you in surprise, and walked towards you. ”

Then there was the sound of footsteps stepping on the grass in the forest, and then Mandarin with a heavy Haixi Provincial accent sounded: "Brother, you call me?"

Narrator: "You start asking for information that you care about: ......"

The anchor asked, "Lao Tie, what kind of place is this?"

A voice with an accent in Haixi Province replied: "This is Rolling Mountain, no, what kind of mountain is it? Big Stick Mountain? Forget it, just Roll Mountain, this is Rolling Mountain!"

"Brother...... Where is Rolling Mountain? By the way, what era is this? Is it on Earth?" The anchor asked again, before entering the game, he only knew that this was a time travel story, but the specific content was not clear, and he didn't know whether it was to travel to ancient China or another world, anyway, as long as he found and rescued a girl named Xiang Xiang, he would win.

"I forgot somewhere, the system just told me to come over, alas, brother, are you really a player? It's kind of interesting, this voice doesn't sound a little noisy, I thought you were an NPC at first. The person with a Haixi accent said, "By the way, my name is 'Flying Wild Rhinoceros', and I do a live broadcast on the Firefish platform, you can pay attention to it when you come back, and the room number is ......."

There was a "boom" sound, interrupting the player's voice with an accent from Haixi Province, and then the narrator sounded: "When the young man in front of you was dancing and babbling nonsense in front of you, suddenly a lightning bolt fell from the sky and struck him. You are also ejected, and when you stand up from the ground and look over, you find that he has completely disappeared, as if the words you just said have violated some unknowable taboo and have been punished by heaven. ”

The anchor hurriedly turned off the voice input of the game temporarily, and then said with a smile to the fans watching the live broadcast: "I just thought this guy was going to be bad, and the words he said were obviously against the game background and the rules of the game, but I didn't expect this punishment to be like this, and the person was gone directly under the 'heavenly punishment', which is really interesting!"

The anchor quickly turned on the sound input again and continued to play with the voice of the narrator.

"I think I should follow the direction the man came from, maybe I can get out of this forest. The streamer also mastered the gameplay of this game, and used "self-talk" to influence his own game trajectory.

Sure enough, the narrator said, "You start to follow the man's footsteps, but soon find that the direction he came from is not outside the mountain, but deep in the mountains, and you think that the bamboo basket he just carried is full of herbs, and it is obvious that he has gone into the mountains to collect medicines, and the direction he will go is the direction out of the mountain." But just as you were about to change direction and walk back, you faintly heard the sound of fighting......"

When the anchor played along the background of the game, it didn't take long for him to unconsciously integrate into the game, as if he was really a person who had traveled to another world.

The game's narration is very smooth, and the tone will change accordingly according to the environment and the progress of the plot, plus BGM and related sound effects, it is really easy to bring people into the situation.

The narrator does not always follow the fixed player, and sometimes when the names of each person in the game are announced and they know each other, the narrator will also explain all the players in the "scene" in the third person in the big scene, creating a feeling of "group play".

After playing for more than forty minutes, the streamer was unfortunately "killed" by a female player. But he can still choose a different "perspective" and continue to listen to the progress of the game.

"Even if you don't participate directly, don't play, just audit, it's fun, it's really like listening to a radio drama, even more than many radio dramas. When I heard the mechanics of this game before, I thought it was just a relatively advanced group game, but now it seems that the experience is completely different!

"The plot framework of the story itself is not complicated, but in the case that everyone can have an impact and there are many variables, constantly changing the plot line, constantly deriving various branches, and it can be reasonably chimerated together, without going astray, this is really a bit of a!

"And the identity of the players is also very good, some are traversers, some are indigenous, and the winning goals are different...... There's also NPC.,Dialogue.,Unless it's deliberately revealed.,It's really impossible to find out if the other party is a player or an NPC.,When I was killed by that 'little lady' just now,,It's really confused!

"If the NPCs in it are really automatically generated by AI, they can pass the Turing test......, right? Tengjiao mutual entertainment, which stone crevice pops out, I haven't heard of it before, the technology is too strong!

"Let me declare it, this experience is completely real, there is no good meal, I even paid for this public beta invitation code on a certain treasure......" The anchor said with emotion, after he was "killed", he can also let go and chat with fans watching the live broadcast about his feelings.

Not only the anchor, Xia Nianqing and Xia Tinglei, who have been watching the live broadcast, are also very engaged and addicted, in fact, this is not the first time Xia Nianqing has watched the live broadcast of this game, this game has quickly occupied the top few of the live broadcast lists of various games since the first day of the open beta.

Although it is only a small-scale open beta, the number of players in the open beta is very limited, and most people who watch the live broadcast cannot play the game by themselves, but watching the live broadcast, watching others play, or to be precise, "listening" to others play, also has a very different experience, every time you watch a live broadcast, it is like listening to a radio drama, the degree of excitement, the degree of fun may be different, but it is very attractive.

Because of this, the public beta invitation code for "Sound Genesis" on Taobao has been hyped to four figures.

When Xia Nianqing and Xia Tinglei watched the live broadcast halfway through, a tall figure also appeared behind them, listening to the live broadcast with them, it was their cousin, Xia Tianhuo, who was kidnapped in Myanmar earlier.

"You two don't study hard, do your homework hard, and still watch the live broadcast here, be careful I tell the third uncle and third aunt!" After the game, Xia Tianhuo "preached" to his cousin and cousin.

The two siblings obviously did not have a reverence for Xia Libing for this cousin, Xia Nianqing turned around and gave him a white look: "Brother Huo, today is Sunday, okay?" And my homework has already been done, and watching the live broadcast is also doing research on the sociological topics of our club, not just playing! But Xia Tinglei's homework doesn't seem to be finished yet......

Xia Tinglei also said with a hippie smile: "Come on, when Brother Huo was studying, he was much more majestic than me, he often missed class, and he also beat from the first year of high school to the third year of high school, and then from the third year of high school to the Academic Affairs Office, I heard that he ran to the door of the Academic Affairs Office and shouted: 'I want to beat ten~~~~~', and then I was beaten by the uncle who rushed to the school......"

"Who did you listen to the rumors......" Xia Tianhuo couldn't help but pick up the bear child who teased him and spanked him, but this kid was laughing while being beaten, and Xia Nianqing also followed by the side to pick up the mobile phone and shoot a video, and said with a smile while shooting: "Brother Huo beat hard! This kid has thick skin, my mother usually beats him with a rolling pin, you can't do it hard, Xia Tinglei, you look at the camera, come, cooperate a little, and scream twice......"

Xia Tianhuo was speechless, of course he didn't make any effort, he just scared this kid, but he couldn't really beat him hard, in case he really hit a good one, the joke would be big, so he could only helplessly put down Na Xia Tinglei, ignore this bear child, and go to the refrigerator to get a drink by himself.

"Brother Huo, I heard that you were kidnapped before?" After Xia Nianqing gave the tablet to her younger brother to play Glory of Kings, she leaned next to her cousin who was sitting on the sofa looking at her mobile phone and asked in a low voice.

"Who did you listen to?" Xia Tianhuo said with a frown.

"I guess! Forget it, let's be honest, I mentioned it when I heard my parents talking in the room before, no wonder in the days when Sister Bing came over in March, my parents sent us to Aunt Yang's house for several days, just to rescue you! Hey, Brother Huo, tell me, how were you kidnapped at that time, and how were you rescued? What kind of kidnappers are they, is there an AK?" Xia Nianqing asked with a twinkle in her eyes, "Why did I Sister Bing know about this first? Why didn't you directly inform my father or uncle?"

"Go, go, go and watch your live. Xia Tianhuo pushed her head away, and secretly rejoiced in her heart, it was Lao Xia who called for ransom at the beginning, and she would not casually tell people the content of the distress call, if it was Yang Zhen'er's cousin, or the cousin in front of her, it is estimated that she would have been publicized so much that the whole world knew that she called her "Mom".

"Hey~!Tell me, it's all your cousin, there's no reason for you to just tell Sister Bing, not me!" Xia Nianqing said coquettishly.

"Then you are also a cousin, and you are as well-behaved as a quail in front of Lao Xia, and like a flea in front of me?"

No matter how pestering Xia Nianqing, Xia Tianhuo just didn't discuss the kidnapping with him, and finally ran out of patience, so she could only go back to her room to watch the drama.

Xia Tianhuo picked up his mobile phone and rummaged through the game-related information of "Sound Genesis".

He knew that this game seemed to be played with Lao Xia in a research base or a research center, and before he went abroad a few years ago, he had seen this bald boy on his side.

And in this game, Yang Zhener and Tang Baona are also deeply involved.

It is said that when they were testing and playing on their own, the narration was still Nana's voice, but now it has been replaced, although the voice sounds good, but he still wants to listen to Tang Baona's version of the narrator.

......

Today is April 19th, and a whole month has passed since Xiang Kun and Lao Xia went to Pengcheng to meet Zhang Qian.

"Sound Genesis" has just started a small public beta, and in less than five days, it has become popular all over the Internet and has become a hot spot of public opinion.

And as time went on, people's focus began to shift from gameplay to other aspects.
