"From the outbreak of the doomsday crisis to today, we humans have been retreating steadily under the attack of fierce ghosts, and finally retreated to the point of no retreat and are lingering on. It has been a generation."
"Because the unsolvable fierce ghost cannot be eliminated, we can only delay and keep running away. However, now with the emergence of new weapons, we finally have the possibility to fight back."
"So now I will lead you to fight back, to return to the land where our ancestors have lived for generations, to take back the human world from the hands of fierce ghosts, so that our descendants can run in the sunshine with joy and laughter, instead of cowering in the same place like us. In the survivor base!”
This is the opening line of "Ghost Hunter". A figure who looks like an instructor is giving an impassioned speech to the soldiers in the audience.
Players in the real world looked above through VR equipment, while Zhong Shanze, sitting at the top of the virtual world, looked down boredly.
"Ghost Hunter" was launched in March this year (2101). After more than eight months of preparation and development, it was finally officially launched in November, marking the first shot of Qingyu Company to enter the online game market.
The players who are most interested in this game, as well as those game media who closely follow the hot topics, have registered their accounts as early as the first moment the download link is opened, thus catching up with the cutscene cg at this time.
When the instructor was saying those speech-like words, the screen kept inserting memories. In this way, the background setting of the game was explained to the players in a short time. Of course, most of the players who can participate in this CG server have already I know this by heart.
"I don't know how many of you will survive after today, but for the future of mankind, we must rush out. A single spark can start a prairie fire. The first shot of the decisive battle with the fierce ghosts is from here, right here. It starts with us.”
"So now, start the mission, take this thing out, bring it to all survivor bases, and ignite the flame of resistance!"
As the first day of the official launch of "Ghost Hunter", Qingyu Company presented a new game mechanism to players, namely "Special Showdown Mode".
Compared with the ordinary duel mode, the "Special Duel Mode" has not changed much. It is still a 1v5 pattern between ghosts and hunters.
The reason why it is called special mode is because one of the five hunters currently has something hidden on him. The name in the game storage box is called the secret blueprint, which is what the instructor said in the opening cg. It records the location of this base. The latest weapon developed to fight against fierce ghosts.
Therefore, in this special duel mode, the hunters not only have to eliminate the fierce ghosts, but also prevent the hunter carrying the blueprint from being killed and causing the blueprint to fall. This situation will be immediately judged as the fierce ghost's victory.
Therefore, the special duel mode adds more reasoning. Hunters need to release smoke bombs, making it difficult for the ghosts to determine who is carrying the real secret blueprints. The ghosts do not have to insist on killing all the hunters, as long as they are lucky enough to kill them. The hunter who carries the blueprint will immediately win.
In addition, in order to celebrate the launch of the server, "Ghost Hunter" also announced a new map, and the special duel mode is launched on this map - the Midnight Rice Field.
Previously, the cg of the server was also interspersed with an overhead view of the base. From there, you can see that the outside of a city is full of rice fields, which looks golden because it happens to be the autumn harvest season.
After all, humans can't survive just huddled in the base, and ghosts don't appear around the clock 24 hours a day, so there are organizations outside the base to cultivate farmland as a self-sufficient food source.
Of course, the farmland in the apocalypse is different from normal. Farmers will only go out to farm on sunny days, and they will set out in groups every time they farm. There will also be soldiers to monitor and protect the surroundings. As soon as the sunset is about to begin, they will go out to farm. withdraw.
So why is the name of the scene picture not Midday Rice Field but Midnight Rice Field? The settings on the official website provide relevant explanations:
This operation will inevitably take away a large number of elite manpower, and there will inevitably be heavy casualties in the process, so we must specially choose to attack at midnight when the ghosts are most likely to appear.
There are three benefits to this. The first is to test the newly developed weapons, and the second is to test personal abilities. After all, if you are called an elite but are beaten to the street by a fierce ghost at your doorstep, then you should not go on an expedition and come back as soon as possible. At least it is close to home. Some are easily rescued.
The last one is to cleanse the monsters around the base before leaving, so as to avoid the base being attacked by monsters and unable to cope with it and falling after the main force sets off.
A player on the forum said emphatically: The statement made by Qingyu Company is bullshit. The reason why they chose midnight is actually that darkness can cause more fear. Look at ancient houses and buildings, aren’t they all dark at night?
Some people also complained about the rationality of the plot itself. Judging from the fact that it takes a narrow escape to send things out, various bases have been cut off in the apocalypse, so it is impossible to have unified leadership.
In this case, a base is the first to develop advanced equipment, and the first thing that comes to mind is nothing else but to mobilize its own main force and give away scientific and technological data in a "narrow escape" (original text of the game instructor's speech). What kind of spirit is this? ? This is the spirit of internationalism through and through!
Netizens who read the statement downstairs laughed. One person said, "I share the same fate with the whole world and build a community with a shared future for mankind. Is there anything wrong with this?"
Of course, this kind of dispute is a trivial matter. For this type of competitive online game, netizens are mostly tolerant of its plot, and it is not an adapted game, so it is enough to fool them.
What they were most interested in was the new special duel mode that was launched with the launch of the server. After players in the strategy group quickly played a game, they posted their general feelings on the forum.
The first is the question that all players are most concerned about, that is, how good is the experience of the new game mechanics of "Ghost Hunter" after it was overhauled one month before the server was launched?
The answer is an answer that makes players happy and herring comfortable. Players and game media unanimously said that the experience effect is very good, even much better than before the modification. Although some people still miss the old version of the duel mode, this kind of meticulousness has been drowned out by the public. In unanimous praise.
Dai Wenguan won the bet, but it was only a small step. If he wants to truly determine his status, he still needs to wait for the amount of activity after the server is launched.
In addition to the overall experience, there is also the newly launched game mechanism, about which the hunter speed attack team has something to say: "Some players think that rice fields are endless plains with broad vision, so there will not be thousands of times like mansions and ancient houses. The invisibility of the turn.”
"But after I actually played it, I said that this idea is just a dream, because those rice plants are probably all injected with hormones and are basically as tall as a person, so no one can see each other once they go far away."
Someone downstairs asked how to determine the direction if this was the case. The poster said that he could jump up and then use the swaying of the surrounding rice to determine the approximate range between the hunters. However, he also warned that this method It seems to be very easy to attract the attention of fierce ghosts.
