Chapter 3: First time entering the game
In the dead of night, he secretly vowed: "I will not only become the king in online games, but also become the king in real life. Only in this way can I protect myself and my relatives and friends around me."
The competition they were talking about was an online action game called "Eighteen Martial Arts", and the incident dates back to 2 months ago.
Two months ago.
A certain company has produced an online action game called "Eighteen Martial Arts". The main operation method of this game is: using VR technology, players can use their own body movements to control the movements of the game characters.
As a game enthusiast, Feng discovered this game by chance. He definitely wanted to try this new type of game. His good brother Xiaochao, who is also known as a game enthusiast, also applied for an account for the game together.
When applying for this game, it was quite troublesome. Not only do you need to enter your identity number, mobile phone number, video verification, and even address verification, etc. He once wondered whether the game was fake, just to defraud players of their privacy.
Fortunately, both he and Xiaochao were patient, and they had conducted a rigorous investigation into the company before, so they still believed in the company's reputation. That’s why I have been insisting and filling in relevant content in accordance with the official requirements of the game.
In the end, Huangtian paid off and finally got an account to use the game. At the same time as getting the account, the mobile phone received a message from the game official. The information said: The official will provide game equipment to game players for free. Players are asked to wait patiently. The game equipment will be delivered within two hours.
"We still have to wait for two hours." He complained for a while. Since I still have time, I decided to search the Internet carefully for information about the game "Eighteen Martial Arts".
There is a lot of information on the Internet, but it is all about answering questions and is not what he wants. It seems that the game officials have kept this game very strictly confidential, so there is very little information about the game online.
He looked up at the sun outside the window. It was a nice day today, so why not ask Xiaochao to play basketball and kill some time.
It can be said that there is a clear understanding between the two minds. It happened that at this time, Xiaochao called. After he answered the phone, he heard Xiaochao on the other end complaining about this game.
"MD, applying for an account seems like your account is being checked. Is this a scam company?" Xiao Chao
"Why are you taking so long? I've already filled it out. Hurry up. There will be a surprise after you fill it out." He then added: "After filling it out, come to the old place. I'll wait for you there."
As the saying goes, "You can watch the world on the basketball court."
There are people on the basketball court who care about “national affairs”;
Someone is "worrying about the situation abroad" on the basketball court;
Someone said "firewood, rice, oil and salt" on the basketball court;
There are also people on the basketball court: Nostalgic for the great man.
He and Xiao Chao are also common people and can only "complicit" with everyone.
An hour later, both he and Xiaochao received calls that the game equipment had arrived. So they quickly went home.
When he returned to the door of his community, he saw a courier. This courier is not a courier from a certain express company, but a specialized staff member of a certain company, because he saw the words "such and such company" on the courier's clothes.
After confirming Feng's identity, the courier handed him a box very kindly, and then drove to continue delivering the box.
"Is the game equipment in the box?" He looked at the box in front of him and couldn't believe it, because the other party handed over the game equipment to him so easily without any charge. He immediately thought to himself: "It seems that this company not only provides good service" , has its own transportation company and courier personnel, and is also very wealthy."
Without thinking too much, he grabbed the box and hurried home. As soon as I got home, I couldn't help but feel curious. He immediately opened the box, opened it and took a look, and was shocked.
"There are too many gaming equipment, too complete." There are clothes, pants, shoes, gaming carpets, gaming helmets (lightweight), etc. Looking at these sophisticated equipment, he muttered to himself: "This must cost at least several thousand yuan."
After reading the explanation in the manual, he realized that these gaming devices were designed to sense the player's movements in all directions.
Looking at these sophisticated gaming equipment, he was even more looking forward to the specific operations of the game. So he quickly put on these devices. After putting them on, he not only did not feel tight, but also felt very comfortable.
After putting on a gaming helmet, he truly came to the New World. He couldn't help but sigh at the power of today's technology, which is so powerful that players feel like they are in a real world.
After entering the game, his game character is in a room, a martial arts gym to be precise. At this time, he received a message from the system, the general content of which was as follows:
Dear player, welcome to the game. First of all, players are asked to authenticate as soon as possible.
The so-called authentication is fingerprint recognition. After authentication, fingerprints, ID cards, bank cards, etc. are all bound together.
After authentication, the system sent another prompt: Players are asked to familiarize themselves with the operation of the game as soon as possible.
The operation of this game is indeed different. No, he encountered some problems at the beginning:
The first problem encountered is operation matching: that is, the player matches his own actions with the actions of the game character one by one.
As the saying goes: One chopstick is easy to break, and ten chopsticks can be broken with a little effort, but what about a hundred or a thousand chopsticks? When the volume reaches a certain level, the difficulty doubles.
This game is like this. If there are only a few, a dozen, or even dozens of actions to match, he will not find it difficult. But when he saw the number of character movements in the game, his mind went numb.
In this game, the game character movements include almost all our own movements in reality: hand movements, foot movements, head movements, etc. He didn't count them one by one, but he was sure that there were at least a thousand.
After seeing the actions of so many game characters, he did not blindly match them first, but began serious and rational research and analysis.
He asked himself: "Does the player have to match all the actions of all the game characters?"
“Are all the actions of these game characters really useful?”
"What is the purpose of designing the game this way?"
Then he began to answer himself again.
Every action of the game character definitely has its role, but whether these actions are useful to you remains to be seen.
At this time, he remembered what his grandfather said to him: "You can achieve your goal fastest by using the simplest actions."
There is also a saying: "Some seemingly useless actions are actually of great use."
These two sentences seem to be two contradictory words, but they have their own meanings at different times.
Some of his ancestors were once masters of martial arts, but by his grandfather's generation, they had already broken down. As a child, he also learned these martial arts moves from his grandfather. When he was very young, he didn't understand martial arts at all and only regarded it as a way to strengthen his body.
Back to the game.
First, he decided to delete the actions in the game character and select the actions he needed. Then match the actions of these selected game characters with your own actions one by one.
This is a long and difficult process. If the player knows nothing about martial arts and has no experience in fighting with others, he will undoubtedly be confused and confused.
But he is different. He has some foundation in kung fu and loves martial arts. He often practices alone. So, he tried to select the actions he needed from thousands of game character actions.
But those players whose heads are buzzing must be very angry.
Some players will definitely scold the game company: "It's your fault for making things so complicated that can be done with just a few clicks on the keyboard."
Some players will definitely be angry: "Is this game bullying us fat people? We can't even stand up, and you still want us to do tricks." Then they touched the dozens of pounds of "muscle" on their stomachs and decided to give the game one star. Comment.
Of course, there are also some players who have the same attitude as him: "It doesn't matter if you give it a try. This kind of operation is quite new. You use your body as the keyboard and your language as the mouse. Let's give it a try."
Xiaochao also called from time to time to express his confusion. While communicating with Xiaochao, he carefully analyzed, selected, and matched.
From entering the game to selecting actions, this is a very boring process. Maybe an action you thought was useful one second, you will find it useless the next second and delete it.
After several hours of selection, I finally selected hundreds of game character actions that I thought were useful.
Then the next step is pairing.
Matching one's own actions with those of these game characters is an even more complicated process. This process is like practicing martial arts moves. We must consider the connection between movements, the smoothness between movements, and the combination between movements.
Mencius has a saying: "When heaven is about to entrust a person with a great responsibility, he must first strain his mind, strain his muscles and bones, starve his body and skin, and deplete his body." This is how he feels now, painful and happy.
During the matching process, he often recalled the moves his grandfather taught him.
After matching these moves one by one, he did not start fighting immediately, but practiced the paired moves over and over again.
Because as the saying goes: "The sharpening of the knife does not waste the time of chopping wood, and the hard work pays off to those who are willing to do it." He believes that only when his movements are used smoothly and smoothly can he fight better with others.
He practiced tirelessly. When some players moved to the next step, he was still practicing non-stop.
By the time he felt that it was almost the same, most of the day had passed and the sun was about to set.
"It's time to go out." When the matching actions were performed continuously, he decided to go out on his own and go for a big fight.
At this time, he was like a young martial arts boy who had practiced martial arts for decades and was about to go down the mountain to make a career.
