Chapter 270: Stanley's Fable (1st Update)
Recently, there have been more and more customers in the experience store, and on weekends, the P experience area on the first floor can be filled to more than 90%, and there are only a dozen empty machines left.
The mobile game experience area and the VR experience area are less crowded, but they can basically fill half of them.
Holographic projection viewing area,Every day, there are people who are interested in this equipment who eat melons.,But after all, this thing will get tired of seeing too much.,Just look at a fresh.,Later, it's used to it.。
The lobby on the first floor of the experience store.
It's Thursday and there aren't too many people.
Chen Mo was sitting on the sofa, holding a drink in his hand, flipping through a batch of new books that had recently arrived.
On the first floor of the hall are two large bookshelves, and there are many books related to games, of course, mainly, comics, game albums, etc., and there are also some professional books about game design knowledge, but there are very few people who read them.
"Store manager." A twenty-seven or eighteen-year-old office worker in a suit swiped his ID card at the front desk and greeted Chen Mo.
Chen Mo nodded in greeting: "Isn't it Thursday today?" Didn't show work? ”
The office worker nodded: "Well, I'm on leave." ”
This office worker is called Zhao Lei, and he is also a frequent customer of the experience store. The Beipiao family is currently working in a financial company, with a lot of salary and a lot of pressure.
Unlike other players, he doesn't come to the experience store to play games, sometimes just to sit in the lobby for a while and chat with everyone.
Zhao Lei is a person with no social circle, and most of the work circles are social, but in this experience store, he found a long-lost sense of comfort.
Therefore, Zhao Lei often came over on weekends, and over time, he became familiar with Chen Mo, Su Jinyu and some of the regulars of the experience store.
Zhao Lei sat down on the sofa next to him, ordered a cup of iced coffee, and took a comic from the bookshelf next to him.
Chen Mo looked at Zhao Lei's somewhat tired face and asked, "What's the matter, it's been a lot of pressure lately?" ”
Zhao Lei nodded: "Well, I don't know why recently, I always meet bad pens at work." There are a lot of entertainment, I drank three or four meals of wine last week, and I have to work overtime this weekend, and today I can't hold it anymore, so I ask for leave and rest. ”
Chen Mo said with a little sympathy: "Well, the body is important. Take the time to get a check-up. ”
Zhao Lei smiled and said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Physical examination? I didn't dare to have a physical examination, for fear that something would go wrong and I would have no money to treat it. ”
Chen Mo said: "Don't, it's still important to be physical." ”
Zhao Lei nodded: "Well, of course I know this." ”
"By the way, the store manager, but I haven't released a new game for a while, is it because I've been busy with the game platform recently?"
Chen Mo said: "There is part of this reason, but then again, it has been less than two months since it was launched, how can a new game be developed so quickly, and you have to untie your arms." ”
Zhao Lei suddenly said: "Oh, it's only been two months?" Alas, I have lost the concept of time a little, and it always feels as if half a year has passed. ”
Chen Mo said with a smile: "Your work pressure is too much, it's time to reduce the pressure appropriately, it's always in this high-pressure state, and it's easy to have problems." ”
Zhao Lei said: "There is no good way to decompress. I don't have any friends, I don't have any special hobbies, and I don't seem to have anything else to do other than work hard to earn money to support my family. I just come to sit here occasionally, and I can relax a little. ”
Chen Mo thought for a moment: "Actually, I just have a game that suits you, do you want to play it?" New game. ”
Zhao Lei was a little surprised: "New game? Didn't you say it hadn't been developed yet? ”
Chen Mo stood up and smiled: "Don't you know what kind of efficiency I am?" When I say that it hasn't been developed, it means that the game hasn't been launched yet, but it's ready to play. Come with me. ”
Zhao Lei hurriedly stood up and followed Chen Mo to the P game experience area of the experience store.
After letting Zhao Lei casually find a computer and sit down, Chen Mo logged in to the management background and downloaded a game that had just been developed to this computer.
Zhao Lei looked at the name: "? ”
Chen Mo nodded: "Yes." ”
Zhao Lei was a little puzzled: "You said this game is more suitable for me?" What is the game, a puzzle game? ”
Chen Mo shook his head: "You can just play it." ”
Zhao Lei clicked on the game icon on the desktop with some confusion and entered the game.
There is no cool lading picture, there is no big scene of G, and it directly enters the game screen.
At the top left of the screen is the title of the game, and at the bottom left is , , and, and the whole picture is very simple.
However, Zhao Lei soon noticed the weirdness of this picture.
It shows a desk with a phone and a computer, a filing cabinet on the left, and a decorative painting on the wall, like the one that most companies would hang, a painting that looks nothing new and better than nothing.
Oddly enough, the graphics displayed on this computer in the game are the same as the game screens, with a game title, options, and even a small mouse cursor.
It's like a picture-in-picture, where everything the player does on the desktop happens simultaneously on the computer screen.
Zhao Lei moved the mouse to click, and the computer screen in the game also made the same operation.
This made Zhao Lei feel a little weird, but he didn't think much about it, he just felt that this was probably some kind of bad taste of Chen Mo, just an interesting little easter egg.
During the reading of the game, the screen is completely black, but there is a gray line in English: "THEENDISNEVERTHEENDISNEVERTHEEND......"
This is an infinite loop of English that stretches from the far left of the screen to the far right of the screen. IF IT WERE BROKEN DOWN INTO A COMPLETE SENTENCE, IT WOULD BE "THEENDISNEVERTHEEND", WHICH MEANS "THE END IS NOT THE END", OR "THE GAME NEVER ENDS".
IT'S JUST THAT THIS SENTENCE STACKS THE "THEEND" AT THE BEGINNING AND THE END, CREATING SUCH AN INFINITE LOOP.
These clues make Zhao Lei a little puzzled, what kind of game is this?
With a lot of doubts, the game begins.
The screen has not yet appeared, and a narration has already sounded in Zhao Lei's headphones.
The narrator is a deep male voice with clear articulation, moderate speaking speed, and a good sense of rhythm. I can't hear too much emotion in my voice, as if I'm telling a very ordinary story.
Accompanied by a very light and light BG, the game screen began to appear, and the camera crossed the company's corridor to room 427. In the room, a man is sitting with his back to the camera, and his desk is the same one he saw on the start screen of the game, including the computer, phone, and filing cabinet, all identical.
The camera switches to the monitor screen at the top, deliberately giving the character a close-up of their hand movements.
Stanley stared blankly at the computer screen, his right hand monotonously pressing the buttons on the keyboard, looking down and up from time to time, like a machine on an assembly line.
