Prologue: The Return
At the 2018 Xitai City CJ Conference, this year was as lively as in previous years, and the otaku in the venue were full of people who admired the big white legs and beautiful breasts of those beautiful showgirls on AJOY, but there were many people who really came to the game, and most people's eyes were focused on the "astral".
on this game.
The game is based on the latest somatosensory technology development, the use of somatosensory helmets to allow players to immerse themselves in the game, the game was developed in 2016 by the Chinese game development team "Egret", and was later acquired by the game company at a high price, is a game that has been on the list of the most popular games in recent years.
The background of the world of the astral world is very simple, based on D&D, and each region has some unique characteristics of each country, such as the cultivation of Huaxia and the Japanese-style Warring States period, but the interesting thing is that when players first start the game, the whole world is a wilderness, and players need to build this world according to their preferences.
Do you want to be king or emperor? No problem, then go and gather your companions against the king*. If you want to become the general of a nation, you must join the king and fight against the rebels. You can also lead the people to open up a new map, and one qiΔ is decided by the player. The world is changed by the players, not by the players, and the updated version is just balancing and adding new ways to play.
In terms of degrees of freedom, although the class is fixed, players can choose to customize the skill class, such as the skill effect and skill appearance, and then the system will balance the cooldown, range and damage of the skill. The concept of this starter, player-defined skills, was an instant hit, and AO's success was largely due to that.
In terms of realism, it uses the latest physics engine and a detailed somatosensory system, whether it is gravitational acceleration, friction or buoyancy, all of which are exactly the same as the real number jΓΉ, and you can even feel the body temperature of other players and NPCs and the pimples on their skin when they touch each other.
Of course, the pain has been nerfed in order to protect the player, and the player usually only has a slight tingling and paralysis when attacked.
Due to the popularity of this game, it is also the game with the most professional players. Eventually, the government and game operators reached an agreement that the game currency could be directly converted to RMB in proportion, which on the one hand could control the expansion of game currency, and on the other hand, it could also avoid the vicious monopoly and other behaviors that disrupted the market caused by game currency.
Today at CJ, there is an interview with Wang Hui, one of the top professional players in AO, and a presentation of the next version of the game. Wang Hui is one of the best professional players in the game, whether it is a copy or a player pvp is the top, he is a well-known person in the game, because of his good appearance, he has also begun to be invited to shoot advertisements in reality, which can be described as a win-win situation.
"So today there is also a demo session, where the famous AO player Wang Hui will show some of the content of the next version, so I wonder if any players are willing to come up and help show it?" The scantily clad beautiful anchor on the display explained.
However, this is actually just helping Wang Hui pretend to be forced, and the gap in strength is too big, just allowing Wang Hui to show his flashy skills and bad sense of humor. Soon, after two players, there were no players willing to play anymore.
"Are there any other players who would like to come up and help with the show?" The beautiful anchor asked a little embarrassed.
At this time, a person walked in straight from outside the venue, walked through the crowd and the charming showgirl, came to the display stand, and put on his helmet without waiting for the anchor to explain......
Ten minutes later, the female anchor looked at the game screen on the screen with some unbearable emotion and sighed: "This is really ...... A terrible massacre, an undoubted fiasco......"
After taking off the somatosensory helmet, Wang Hui fell to the ground, his face was pale, and he muttered to himself in a distracted manner: "How can it be...... How could it be like this? Except for the first one, all four were completely crushed? How so...... Obviously, this ID has not appeared in the top 100 of the honor roll, why ...... Why ......"
But the other person just took off his somatosensory helmet and said with a wry smile: "This is probably the last time I play AO." β
Immediately, he walked straight through the stunned crowd and left the CJ scene.
Two years later, in the summer, at a table at the Sing Tao Cafe, sat an iceberg beauty in her early twenties with a cold expression.
Her long back-length hair is tied into a ponytail very casually and put on the back of her head, with side bangs that look particularly quiet, delicate little round face and facial features, Danfeng eyes do not need any manners to have a natural charm in it, small nose, slightly upturned lips in the lipstick against the background of a confident moisture. Although only ccap on her boobs prevents her from becoming a perfect goddess, those upturned beautiful legs are really rare in the world, slender and not lacking in sexiness.
Finally, a smile appeared on the girl's cold face, and everyone followed her gaze.
The man who came in was about twenty-two years old, his face looked very calm, he was wearing a light blue short-sleeved shirt, a white sleeveless T-shirt underneath, and brown slacks on the bottom, he was about 1.81 meters tall, his appearance was good, the contours were as clear as a knife, but the two deep dark circles under his eyes made him look a little gloomy.
"It's been a long time, eat fish." The girl smiled and waved at him, and said happily, "Here and here!" β
Xia Chiyu came to this girl and said with a faint smile: "It's been a long time, Xiaoxue." β
"yes, it's been two years." The girl said with a smile, her name is Lin Qianxue, she is the vice president of a well-known guild in ao, and in reality she is also the daughter of the president of a consortium, the real Bai Fumei.
"Since you quit, we haven't seen each other again, in every sense of the word." Lin Qianxue sighed slightly disappointed and said. Xia Chiyu just smiled and didn't say anything, so Lin Qianxue asked, "Why?" Why quit at that time? You obviously have that ability, the best ability among professional players......"
"It's a long story, after all, it's just a game, and you can't live in it forever." Xia Chiyu smiled slightly.
Lin Qianxue sighed and didn't continue, just handed him the menu and said, "Order something to eat, I'm hungry too." Don't be polite to me, I'm in for a treat today. β
"No, how can you get a woman to have a treat. Although my income is not high, this level of consumption is still fine. Xia Chiyu took the menu and smiled, Lin Qianxue pursed her lips and said, "You just let me invite!" I also ask you for you. β
"Hmph, nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, huh? Otherwise, why didn't you look for me in the past two years? Xia Chiyu hit the nail on the head, and Lin Qianxue was suddenly a little embarrassed: "That...... No...... I, well, sorry. β
"It's okay, it's just friends in the game, that's normal." Xia Chiyu said with a smile.
After ordering the dishes, Xia Chiyu put down the menu and asked lightly: "So, let's talk about it, what's the matter?" β
"I want you to come back and help me." Lin Qianxue said directly, "Come to my guild, we need players like you." β
Xia Chiyu smiled, unexpectedly calm: "I'm a rookie now, it's been two years, and the version has been updated so much, I don't understand anything now." Is it useful to find me a wasted person to go back? β
"If it's you, I'll be able to pick it up soon!" Lin Qianxue retorted, "You defeated Wang Hui 4:1 back then!" He remained in the top 50 on the glory list for many years! It's arrogant in the game! β
"That was back then, and now if I go back, I'll only be beaten by him." Xia Chiyu shrugged his shoulders, "Besides, I don't have a reason to go back, but there are a lot of reasons not to go back." β
Lin Qianxue glared at Xia Chiyu with some annoyance, and then calmed down: "There are three reasons why you came back. First, you're good at it; Second, there are still people waiting for you to go back in that world; Third, I know your current situation, life is a bit embarrassing, can you be considered a low- and middle-income class? You come to help my union, of course we won't let you help in vain, in terms of remuneration, whether you have the ability to recover from the previous one, we will provide you with a monthly income of 40,000 yuan for professional players. β
Xia Chiyu held his chin and groaned, as the saying goes, a penny is difficult to defeat a hero, and it is not so easy for people to live in the world. threw all his precious time into the game, and in the end, he was not even looked down upon by his relatives and friends, so that his parents could not hold their heads up outside, and his meager income could only barely support himself, let alone talk about getting married and having children.
"Okay, I promise." Looking at the Western food served, Xia Chiyu nodded helplessly, and sighed: "If you can, I really hope that games are just entertainment, not tools to make money......
"You can just treat the game as entertainment, just enjoy the game to the fullest, and you don't have to worry about the money." Lin Qianxue smiled happily and said, "Then, I also have a request." First, you have to quit your current job as a professional gamer. But I will advance you for two months, which is 80,000 yuan, and at the same time, I will pay you 20,000 game coins in the game. β
"A total of 100,000 Huaxia coins? It's really a big deal, worthy of being a rich lady, this is my salary for a year, and I have to pay off a loan for 40 years to buy a house in a first-tier city. Xia Chiyu sighed helplessly.
Lin Qianxue pouted and said: "Don't talk so distantly, I don't need any money from my family, these are all earned by me and the union from the game, you can too!" Let's eat, I'll take you to pick out the latest somatosensory helmet after eating in a while, how about it, are you ready to return? β
