To be precise, this is actually a cyber pixel style. It is a magical mashup of cyberpunk and pixel style after the rise of cyberpunk.
In fact, the Japanese style of cyberpunk is largely a replica of the style of the Han and Tang Dynasties. Han style and Tang style are pure national styles. The recently emerged "cyber national style" originated from the style of the Han and Tang Dynasties and is parallel to cyberpunk. Therefore, there is no problem in saying that the Japanese style is very similar to the style of the Han and Tang Dynasties. But never say the opposite. Just like you can praise someone as "having the style of your ancestors", but you can never say that someone "has the style of your descendants". It is ethical for a son to be like his father. right?
Therefore, this towering castle tower can only be described as a general Japanese style. Not even a tenement building.
Soon, the radar installed in the Chidori Hakaze on the side of the castle tower automatically turned to track the flight path of the Blackbird SR-71. Several navigation drones flew out from another Chidori Pofeng next to it.
Pofeng is a type of gable wind panel. Bofeng board is called Bofeng board, also known as Bofeng board and mountain sealing board. It was first called Bofeng board in the Song Dynasty and was often used in ancient Xieshanshan and Xingshanshan top buildings. The two ends of the roofs of these buildings protrude beyond the gables. In order to prevent wind and snow, wooden strips are nailed to the tops of the purlins, which also serve to block the truss (purlin) heads. This is the wind board. In traditional Japanese architecture, broken winds are often found above the main entrance or side windows of the building. Introduced in the late Heian period, Japanese characteristics were incorporated on the basis of learning from Tang Po Feng. There are roughly four types of Japanese-style hāfū: Rokumoya hāpū, Chidori hāpū, Kirizuma hāpū and Tang hāpū.
The emergence of airborne radars and drones shows that the cyber pixels in front of us are just a style. Technology is clearly online.
"Unfamiliar guests, after passing through the torii, please land at the No. 03 apron of Tenkyo Town under the Sky Tree." A drone approached the cockpit from the side.
Torii is a Japanese-style shrine auxiliary building similar to an archway. It represents the entrance to the divine realm and is used to distinguish the divine realm where gods live from the secular world where humans live. The existence of the torii is to remind visitors that stepping into the torii means entering the divine realm, and all subsequent behaviors should be paid special attention to. Japanese-style torii gates are roughly divided into two categories: "Kami torii" has straight columns and tiles, without island wood; "Myojin torii" has two slightly tilted pillars, and there are tiles under the tiles. The wood is curved and raised at both ends.
"Request to automatically park into the navigation." Wu Chen transmitted using brain waves.
"Okay, strange guest." The leader's navigation drone immediately transmitted the universal navigation code to the Blackbird SR-71.
"Master, this place feels very much like another style of Broken City." Overlooking the skyscrapers scattered around the towering Skytree, Riki Lambert, the civilian goddess of the Hermit Warriors' Team A, was in SR -71 internal channel said.
"Yes, the core is still cyber." Wu Chen also discovered. In fact, cyberspace matches the sci-fi near future. It's like the human race in "StarCraft" or the Earth in "Command and Conquer". The more distant future is more like the Protoss in StarCraft or the Scrin in Command and Conquer. In player terms, the end of science is theology.
Therefore, according to past experience, the cyber style is mostly near-future technology line. Like the volatile Seaport District. The technology of this cyberpixel-style harbor city must also be in the near future.
The tail hatch slowly landed. Wu Chen stepped off the Blackbird SR-71 surrounded by the five Liz sisters wearing "human-machine dual-use power armor." The remaining crew members on board are on alert and must ensure the safety of the Blackbird SR-71.
A welcome drone immediately came to greet him: "Welcome to the Lost Islands Kingdom."
"The Lost Kingdom of the Islands." Wu Chen immediately used his brain waves to search the Blackbird SR-71 airborne database, but unfortunately there were no relevant clues.
"Yes, strange guest." The welcoming drone smiled: "Do you want to buy an official tourist map? It only costs one coin."
"No need." Wu Chen smiled and said, "I want to visit the King of the Islands."
"Ah..." The welcome drone suddenly stopped, with a pair of pixel light eyes flashing continuously. When it spoke again, it had been replaced with a new and more advanced AI: "Unfamiliar guest, please explain your purpose."
"For personal reasons, I want to get advice from a king." Wu Chen answered cautiously.
"If you want to get advice, you should go to a wise man. A strange guest." It is indeed an advanced AI with very rigorous logic.
"Look, the identities of wise men vary greatly. Some are beggars, and some are kings." Wu Chen was talking to him according to the logic of advanced AI.
"Agree." The logic program of the advanced AI was convinced: "Please come with me, strange guest."
"Okay." Wu Chen continued to express his kindness.
You know, advanced AI can completely read Wu Chen's friendliness from the micro-expression capture program. This has important implications for behavioral decisions performed later. When the advanced AI determines that Wu Chen's visit is out of goodwill, it will actually lead him to the destination. If the visit is judged to be malicious, it will lead Wu Chen to a completely different path.
From the No. 03 apron to the ground, there is already a capsule rail car waiting on the street. The pixel style is really cute.
"Unfamiliar guest, please get in the car." The advanced AI opened the car door for Wu Chen thoughtfully.
"Thank you." Wu Chen's kindness remained the same.
When Wu Chen and the five Liz sisters boarded the train, the advanced AI transmitted himself to the unmanned capsule rail car. Continue to lead Wu Chen to his destination.
Through the curved car window, Wu Chen saw that the castle tower on the skyline was getting closer and closer, and Wu Chen knew that he had done the right thing.
Get off at the front gate (station) of the palace, and the advanced AI transmits itself to the palace machine guard in front of the door. When you transfer to the gorgeous palace elevator and ascend to the "Mother House (Main Palace)", the advanced AI finally becomes the palace butler.
"Please come with me, strange guest." The mechanical body of the advanced AI palace butler is obviously much more advanced than all the artificial intelligences along the way. And it is obviously a common technology of Broken City. This shows that this cyber pixel style Lost Islands Kingdom is indeed closely related to the Broken City. It can even be understood as a unique style of "copy of Broken City".
As the gorgeous sliding doors slowly open to both sides. Wu Chen and his party finally met the owner of the Lost Islands Kingdom.
Wu Chen confirmed his identity almost instantly: "See your Majesty."
"Ah, it's you." The man sitting cross-legged on the throne, wearing a broken crown, baring his chest and belly and drinking wine from a gourd, is the Broken King who "remains true to his word and is a child." He obviously also recognized Wu Chen.
"It's me, your Majesty." Wu Chen, who was recognized as the player, also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Why are you here?" The Broken King's words were full of ancient style.
Fortunately, Wu Chen could adapt to it: "May I ask your Majesty, what do you mean by "memory card"? "
"Just as everything is divided into yin and yang, there are two paths in the world." The Broken King smiled and replied: "Since you have come to our country, your questions should be outside the two paths of yin and yang."
"Your Majesty, I will see you clearly." Wu Chen immediately woke up. The “two paths of yin and yang” refer to the official and smuggling paths.
"The light from the spire can relieve your worries." The Broken King said bluntly.
"That's it." Wu Chen suddenly realized: "May I ask, where can I get the light from the spire?"
"If you want to get the light of the spire, you should be the king of the spire." As he spoke, the Broken King raised the wine gourd and kowtowed gently to the broken crown that was spinning with flowing light on his head: "Do you want to replace it?"
"Your Majesty, what do you think?" Wu Chen asked instead without answering.
"It's okay." The Broken King raised his head and took a sip of wine: "However, this crown is given by God and cannot be done by human beings. If you want to wear it, you need to be given by God."
The implication of the Broken King is that in order for Wu Chen to become the new Broken King, he needs to be recognized by the guardian of the Broken World - the huge shadow in the void. Obviously, the Broken Brotherhood, as an official organization, is a powerful force that stands between Wu Chen and the Broken Crown and must be defeated. This was exactly what he expected. Become the king of the lowlands, the king of the middle lands, and the king of the highlands first. Finally comes the King of Spires.
Only by becoming the Broken King can you unlock the Light of the Spire.
I have to say that the goal is very clear and the route is clear. The only thing is that the difficulty is unpredictable.
