Chapter 24: The real game
Xiaochao's intention to match others was really strong, and Zhenzhen saw it right away when she met everyone for the first time. But when I think about it carefully, this is normal. After all, people are emotional animals and are very sensitive to the ability to express and receive feelings.
"Yes, Xiaochao has been bringing me and Shanshan together, and today I specially brought her to play together." He had nothing to hide, after all, it was not a shameful thing to be red-lined.
Zhenzhen didn't say anything further. The two of them just continued walking in a hurry. After a while, they saw four other people swinging together. Girls may not be able to resist swings by nature, but Meng Qi and Shanshan both had a great time playing.
They also saw Feng and Zhenzhen.
"Why are you so lazy?" Xiaochao yelled at him, then pulled him to the side of Shanshan's swing and said, "Come and help another girl push."
He smiled, did not refuse, and earnestly helped Shanshan push up the swing. Not to be outdone, Xiao Chao pushed Meng Qi up high. For a while, the girl's "screams" could be heard one after another.
When Xiaochao saw Zhenzhen and Westbrook standing aside, he suggested that Zhenzhen also play on the swing, but Zhenzhen refused and said that she was wearing a skirt today and was not suitable for swinging.
After that, we started climbing the mountain, and the six people in the group were no longer divided into groups, especially Xiaochao, who was forcibly warned by everyone. After all, we should not cause divisions while playing together.
In the laughter and laughter, everyone not only appreciated the beauty of their hometown, but also deepened the friendship between the six people, and of course the love between Xiao Chao and Meng Qi.
When they came back, it was already evening, and they took Westbrook and Zhenzhen to taste the delicacies of their hometown.
After going their separate ways, Feng did not go home immediately, but came to the hospital because grandma would have surgery tomorrow morning. Of course Xiao Chao also came along and bought fresh fruit for grandma.
Grandma was in very good condition today, her face was glowing, and she was no longer listless and pale as before. When she saw Xiaochao coming to see her, she felt even happier.
The next day, grandma’s operation went smoothly and she could be discharged from the hospital after a few days of rest. He also took the time to take the game equipment to the official game equipment store for maintenance. The service staff in the store were pretty good. After cleaning, they would deliver it to your door.
The long-awaited game has finally been released, and after two long days of waiting, the game has finally been updated.
When the game was updated, the game’s official website announced the content of this game update two hours in advance.
It's roughly as follows:
1. The game will be officially revised from an online action game to a super large online game;
2. The game does not limit the number of players, and game characters will never be offline (except in special circumstances);
3. Game characters will appear in various states, such as: sleepy, hungry, weak, dying, etc.;
4. All actions of the game character have new proficiency attributes, and proficiency will affect the damage, speed and physical consumption of the action;
5. This is a brand new game world, with various gameplay and adventures that players need to explore by themselves;
6. Players are asked to download the game in advance.
Not much can be seen from the official game announcement, but there are various bold guesses about the game’s update content on the Internet, and some of the guesses are quite reasonable:
For example, regarding the status of the game character: sleepiness means that the game character needs to sleep, and hunger means that it needs to eat.
For another example, the game will never go offline and the game character's movements are proficient, indicating that this game will become a large-scale development game.
In short, there are all kinds of speculations, and many of them are based on large-scale development games of the same type that have been released.
In order to increase the credibility of their guesses, the authors of some articles say at the end of the article that they will use stickers as evidence, and they will live stream swimming in cesspools, peeing upside down, etc. if they guessed wrong, making readers smile.
Many netizens expressed deep concern when they saw that this game suddenly turned into a development game. Because everyone has experienced too many development games and is tired of these games.
Almost all development games cannot escape the curse of adding dungeons, tasks, and activities, and these dungeons, tasks, and activities are done over and over again every day.
At the beginning, players still felt fresh, but after a few months, players began to lose in large numbers. Then the game started to open new servers, one after another. In the process, players also exhausted their goodwill for the game and their trust in the game company.
Some extreme netizens threatened on the Internet that they would give up the game immediately if the game continued to be a one-stop dungeon, a one-stop event, and other disgusting things.
The game version before the update is called closed beta, and the game version after the update is called public beta.
Feng also found out from this article that there was only one server for the game's internal testing, because he entered the game directly every time he logged in and didn't pay attention to it at all.
At the same time, he also knew that the number of players was limited during the internal testing of the game. No wonder there was a statement in the game announcement that there was no limit on the number of players.
This article hopes that the public beta version can carry forward the fine tradition of the closed beta version and carry forward the good tradition of having only one server for a game.
A netizen left a message after this article: "There is only one server for large-scale online games. This is just the wishful thinking of players. Which game company is so bold, which game company has so many servers, and which company is so courageous. "
Some netizens said: "The reason why the internal beta can be one server is because the number of players is limited. But after the game is updated, the number of players is no longer limited. How can it still be one server? Aren't game companies afraid of server explosions?"
These are all speculations by players, and everything will be revealed after the official game.
At 12:00 o'clock, we officially entered the game.
There are nine continents on the game interface, and they are named according to the names of the nine palaces, namely Qianzhou, Kanzhou, Genzhou, Zhenzhou, Zhongzhou, Yizhou, Lizhou, Kunzhou, and Duizhou.
Although there are nine major states, currently players can only choose from three major states: Lizhou, Zhenzhou, and Kanzhou. The other six states are not yet open.
He, Xiaochao, Westbrook, Zhenzhen and other friends who were going to play together made an appointment to enter the same state together: Zhenzhou.
After clicking "Zhenzhou", he officially entered the game and "reincarnated".
Entering the game and looking around, he found that he was in a room with simple furnishings. He only had a coarse cloth coat on him. He looked at the status of his game character and found that it was currently in good condition and had no special status.
He immediately looked at the action and move matching of his game character. They were all the same as before the update and had not been deleted, so his heart finally settled.
Before the game, what he was most afraid of was that the files would be deleted. In that case, the action moves he had worked so hard to match would become blank, and he would have to spend a lot of time restoring them.
After feeling at ease, he discovered that there is an additional attribute behind each game character's action: proficiency. Currently, the proficiency of all the character's actions is 0%.
When he walked out of the room, he saw huts one after another, stretching as far as the eye could see. Then players in coarse cloth coats like themselves walked out of these thatched houses.
It is not difficult to guess that the thatched house is the player's birthplace in the game. The neat arrangement of these thatched houses makes him feel like he is in a military camp.
Although he has entered the game, he found that he has not received any system prompts or any system tasks. From this point alone, it can be seen that this game is definitely different from all previous games.
Since the game doesn't give him any information, he has to dig out it himself. After making up his mind, he began to think calmly.
Since he came to a strange place, the first thing he had to know was where he was, so like other players, he started running to see if there were any buildings or NPCs around him.
There is a map window in the upper left corner of the game field of view, which is divided into world map, state map and current map. Currently, the world map and state map are dark, only the current map has some bright lights, and he found that these bright lights are related to his movement trajectory. There is a connection.
He soon learned that the current map was actually dark, but when players walked through it, the darkness would be lit up little by little. So the place that lights up on the map is the place that you have already passed.
His friends from before the update were still there, and he received a message from Xiaochao: Come to the village quickly, there are NPCs here.
Based on the information provided by Xiao Chao, he came to the village. There was a large courtyard in the village. There was an old man in the large courtyard with the name "Chief of Luoxia Village" written on his head. He looked like an NPC.
"Xiao Chao, where are you now? I'm already next to the village chief." He had already arrived next to the village chief, but he didn't see Xiao Chao.
Xiaochao also asked doubtfully: "I have been beside the village chief, and I didn't see you."
After some exchanges, we finally found out that Xiaochao was in Luoye Village and he was in Luoxia Village. We are in different villages and different maps, so how can we meet each other?
Before the game, he, Xiaochao, Westbrook and others had decided to form their own team in the game. To form a team, you need people, so everyone found friends in life who play this game together. The approximate people are:
Feng, Xiaochao, Zhenzhen, Wei Shao, Hua Shao, Shi Shi, Lin Ge, Xiao Tian, Zhang Ge
Among them, Hua Shao is Westbrook's friend, Shishi is Zhenzhen's friend, and the others are Feng and Xiaochao's friends. There are nine people in total. Although there are few people, these are all people who know the ins and outs of reality.
Everyone thinks that after the team is truly established in the game, it will not be too late to slowly recruit people and expand it. Moreover, Xiaochao is the anchor, so there is no need to worry about not having teammates.
It is worth mentioning that Xiaochao has found a new live broadcast platform. This platform is the game company's own live broadcast platform and is dedicated to live broadcasting this game.
