Entrance to the busy Spiral Avenue toll plaza.
Wu Chen rejected the automatic passage code from the navigation drone. Instead, choose to upload the digital paper receipt purchased for 99 coins and fly directly into Gate 3.
Even if you purchase a private pass ticket in advance, you still have to queue up to pass. According to the principle of connecting the previous and the following. Player vehicles that were listed before Wu Chen uploaded the ticket can pass normally. Subsequent players were temporarily blocked by the gateway and had to wait for Wu Chen to enter the queue before they could pass through.
This waiting time is also essential. This is also the broken hours that must be consumed to live in the broken city.
When it was Wu Chen's turn, Wu Chen deliberately used Ω brain waves to control the local micro-deformation of MT to create an arm, and inserted the digital paper receipt into the old Gate 3 with extremely precise accuracy.
Along with the old card reading sound, the alloy gate that had been opened long ago closed again with a rumble.
"Hey, why is it closed?" There was a commotion in the queue of players behind Wu Chen.
"Everyone, please wait a moment. This is normal traffic procedure." The navigation drone changed its voice obviously. However, this small change did not attract the attention of players.
"Please hurry up, no one's time is money." The player in the back row responded angrily.
"Okay, everyone. That's good."
As the alloy gate opened again, the calm space and time behind the door shattered like lenses. The sharp fragments then stretched like a whirlpool, turning into a deep space-time passage - the "Broken Ring".
"I just said, it's still early, why did the gate close early." Seeing that gate No. 3 reopened, the players breathed a sigh of relief.
Although it looks exactly like the previous "Broken Ring Belt", it is obviously a private passage specially opened for Wu Chen. The exit must not be the spiral avenue leading to the spiral belt in the Middle Earth.
"Everyone, this is the true meaning of brokenness." Wu Chen used his brain waves to control the Blackbird SR-71 and passed through this time and space tunnel safely: "The owner of Gate 3 we are going to visit secretly set up a 'private shortcut' '."
"Is it a fraternity?" Rose, the eldest sister of the five Liz sisters, asked.
"Although it's not certain whether he is a member of the Brotherhood or not." Wu Chen said with a smile, "But I guess there is a high probability that he is not."
It's like going back in time, waiting for the space-time tunnel to turn back into a vortex of fragments, and return to its original state. The gate No. 3 slowly falling behind the Blackbird SR-71 will cause another commotion.
When Gate 3 opens again, players in the queue can pass normally.
Blackbird SR-71 cabin.
It feels completely different from the last time I drove AE86 and led the 0326ERT team through Gate 3.
The rich sheltering light at that time made Wu Chen and his team members feel unprecedented warmth when they entered the spiral belt of the Middle Earth for the first time. It seems that the "debris of memory" accumulated under the skin and clogged in every pore are melted by the warmth. These tiny debris that invade the pores are not only the remains of broken memories, but also the remnants of the old world.
However, this time, no one, including Wu Chen, felt melted by the warmth.
"The fifth-level base makes the broken rules more complete, so it automatically washes away the 'debris of memory' in our bodies." Wu Chen had already thought of it.
What Wu Chen didn't expect was that the moment he controlled the Blackbird SR-71 to fly out of Gate 3, large groups of mosaics rushed toward him.
It's too late to escape.
"Be careful!" As soon as Wu Chen warned with his brain waves, the Blackbird SR-71 hit him head-on. In Wu Chen's opinion, "mosaic spots" are almost equivalent to "plot infection".
Could it be said that this "plot fragment" has been completely infected?
Wu Chen didn't have time to think too much, the Blackbird SR-71 had passed harmlessly. what happened?
Look back. A small group, a small mosaic that was scattered, is reuniting at the collision point from all directions. It quickly returned to the previous large mosaic.
"This seems to be...a cloud?" In a flash of lightning, Wu Chen suddenly realized: "Pixel style."
The pixel style originated from video games in the 1980s. Decades later, pixel art (Pixel Art), which is still popular in the Metaverse world, has become a kind of digital art.
Pixel is the smallest unit that makes up a computer digital image. If you try to enlarge a picture in a picture viewing software, you will find that these pictures are actually composed of neatly arranged "small squares". These small squares are called pixels. Pixel art first appeared in computer application icons and early 8-bit video games. In recent years, it has been widely used in web icons, mobile phone games, personal pictures in instant messaging software, etc., and has formed a unique Art style.
The pixel style originated from video games. Early works include well-known games such as "Pac-Man" and "Space Invaders". Early computers and video game consoles could not resemble modern ones. Computers often have 1080p or 4K high-definition resolutions, so pixel artists find ways to solve these limitations by creating images from a limited number of pixels. Some people say that the pixel style is a style derived from the "Pointillism School". . With the development of electronic technology in the late 1990s, game design increasingly pursued clear and realistic visual effects, and the pixel style gradually faded out. Precisely because it left game equipment, the modern pixel style presented multi-media applications, including planes, devices, Cross-stitch, piecing together, Lego and more take on new vitality.
Although pixel style is an approachable and inclusive style, its origin destined that the visual effects in video games will be inherited and used to the maximum extent. Low resolution, retro nostalgia, and structural imagination are the core keys of pixel style. word.
All in all, the pixel style is retro but not outdated. More and more artists are using pixel style as a means of expression, and in recent years there are also many visual workers using pixel style works on 3D engines.
It's obvious. Wu Chen arrived at a pixel world by virtue of the private space-time channel opened by the digital paper ticket.
I don’t know if this pixel world, or to be precise, this “pixel plot fragment”, is inside the Broken City or outside the Broken City. Or maybe it's actually an exclusive land card released by a big player. Nothing is known yet.
What is already known and happening is that even Wu Chen’s Blackbird SR-71 has unknowingly turned into a pixelated style.
"No way..." Wu Chen subconsciously lowered his head and looked at himself, and sure enough, his body was also turning into pixels irreversibly. Even the female warriors who were engraved with the "Ω Ring" and had "self-consistent dimensions" were irresistibly pixelated.
This shows that what you are seeing in front of you is definitely not a fragment of the plot. It must have more advanced underlying rules than plot fragments!
because. Whether it is the Blackbird SR-71 as a partial exclusive shelter, or the female warrior with the "Ω Ring", they all have the broken rules given by the shelter. If you want to "cover" the rules carried by Wu Chen himself, you need more advanced underlying rules of the shelter. This also means that the owner of this "pixel plot fragment" has higher authority than the only purple gold VIP in the shelter - plot lord No. 0326 Big Player Wu Chen. Then his true identity will be revealed. Who else could it be but the Broken King.
"Master, look quickly." After scanning the terrain, the female warriors found an obvious target.
With a thought, Wu Chen immediately enlarged the picture. It was clearly a pixelated... castle tower.
The Donjon is the highest, most important and most representative part of the Japanese castle. It has functions such as lookout and command, and is also one of the symbols of governing power in the feudal era. "Tenshou" is sometimes also written as "Tianzhu", "Tenshu", and "Tianzhu". After the Meiji era, a new name for "Tenshu Pavilion" appeared.
The earliest castle originated from Ashikaga Yoshiaki, the last shogun of the Muromachi shogunate. It was named Tenshu at that time. When Oda Nobunaga built Gifu Castle, it was called castle. This four-story castle was also the turning point in the evolution of the name from temple castle to castle castle. Oda Nobunaga built Azuchi Castle, which was the first castle with more than five layers. In front of the Tenjo of Azuchi Castle, there are many fourth-order oars called shrine masters and shrine guardians, such as Shishoken of Itami Castle, Shinkiyama Castle, Tamonzan Castle, Rakuten Castle and Edo Castle. The castle tower that disappeared first and had the shortest service life was the castle tower of Azuchi Castle.
Since Japan promulgated the Abandoned Castle Order in the 6th year of Meiji (1873), it has begun to demolish castles in various places. In the end, more than 60 castles were preserved. Later, many of these fortresses were used as military garrison by the Japanese army. Therefore, they became targets of U.S. air raids and bombings during World War II. Unfortunately, most of them were destroyed by the war, with only 12 remaining. Most of the modern castles are restoration castles, revival castles or simulated castles. They are "antique buildings" that were restored with cement and steel after World War II.
