"Your idea is good, but the previous two dungeons were all about the experience of a man who suffered a mental breakdown before his death. Will this suddenly switch to the bartending experience of a bartender? Will it be a bit of a drama?" Mr. Li, the glasses manager, said. Able to ask questions at key points.
Such talents are essential for Ji Le.
"I understand what you mean, but I feel that our content does not have to be limited. Describing the pre-death experiences of people with mental breakdowns is just our shell. In fact, as long as the core of what we want to express is conveyed."
"The core is to touch the players' emotions. This time we will change the mode to let the players understand the experience of the poor uncle. The ultimate goal is to let the players release empathy for others as the bartender."
"There is another purpose. The past has passed, but the uncle's grievances must be cleared. Since we are involved in this incident and we have the criminal evidence of the man in the suit, there is no reason to hide it anymore. .”
"But if I directly send the video of what happened in the bar to the Public Security Department, our address and identity will be exposed, but they currently have no way to find me through the game. In this case, I might as well use this copy of the game to find me. Prompt them to overturn the verdict."
"After all, they have provided some materials for our games, and it is only right that we give them some feedback."
Bai Bo is sitting in the corner, with a virtual drawing board in front of him. At this time, he is drawing a restored bar scene from memory. After listening to Ji Le's words, he stuck his head out and said: "I agree that the uncle should get the justice he deserves. In fact, we can put everything in the announcement in the game so that everyone can see it clearly. .”
"The education I received since childhood told me that this world is fair, just and open. Everyone is fair from birth. Everyone can install a powerful terminal in the brain for free and obtain knowledge from the utopian system for free, regardless of whether they are rich or powerful. Or civilians, the channels for obtaining knowledge are exactly the same." Bai Bo said while painting.
"Everyone has the same starting point and the same learning environment. As long as they are good enough, they can stand out and get a chance to get ahead."
"But these are all false. There are still people who are discriminated against, just like me, an emotional person, and there are still people who are framed, just like that uncle."
“We are living in a dream of system construction, and it’s time for those who are still in the dream to see this.”
"That's very well said." Glasses Li applauded symbolically, but frowned slightly. "But you have overlooked one thing. People who are in a sweet dream do not necessarily want to wake up even if they see these dark sides. Their emotions have been monitored by the system and they will always keep their emotional values normal. In order to ensure that their emotional values are normal , they will consciously or unconsciously avoid things that make them uncomfortable.”
"Not to mention, under the protection of the Utopia system, our spirits are as fragile as porcelain. I don't recommend laying everything out in the game announcement so straightforwardly."
Ji Le stood up and poured himself a glass of water. He also added some vitamin C sugar cubes to the water.
"What do you think?"
"What do you think?"
Bai Bo and Glasses Li asked at the same time.
"We've been discussing here for a long time, do you still have time to drink water there?" Li Li, who was wearing glasses, couldn't stand Ji Le's slow and leisurely look, and was a little annoyed.
After becoming "ghosts" made of pure data, they no longer suppress their emotions, but can release them freely.
"This time of day is the fixed time to supplement vitamin C. To accomplish one thing, I must first keep my body healthy. No matter what happens, it cannot change the time for me to supplement vitamin C."
Ji Le sat on the sofa with a water glass.
"I do want to announce uncle's affairs, Rika's affairs and others in the game, but not in the straightforward way Bai Bo said. I will integrate the whole story into the game process."
"After all, we are still making games. It is fun, and allowing players to immerse themselves is the first purpose."
He glanced at the time and saw that it was already time for dinner.
If there is no emergency, it is also his habit to eat at a fixed time every day.
It was because the situation was too urgent in the past few days. If he lingered, he might die. But now that he has stabilized, he has returned to his previous routine.
Ji Le would never skip meals because he was busy at work. Even if he couldn't leave for a while, he would take solid nutritional supplements while working.
Because the stomach needs to digest food, if you just drink some liquid every day, the function of the gastrointestinal tract will be degraded.
Ji Le wore slippers, left the house and went to the grocery store run by the old man downstairs.
The old man was wearing a vest, blowing an antique fan, and was reading a book with yellowing pages at the entrance of a simple supermarket without projection.
In fact, there is already a service where you can place an order online and have it delivered to your door by a delivery robot, but the old man doesn't know how to use it and doesn't want to learn it.
But the supermarket is still visited by people.
In addition to Ji Le, there are also some old people who have not caught up with the installation of brain terminals and are afraid of unknown technology.
These people abandoned by the times still exist, but they are ignored intentionally or unintentionally.
Neither the company nor the government thinks that these old people are of any use, nor do they think they will do anything great together.
Ji Le came to the old man's supermarket simply because he felt that sitting in a chair all the time was not good for his health. He had to go downstairs to exercise from time to time, which might also help eliminate the shadows in his mind.
"One instant steamed bun and one box of concentrated soup." The old man looked at the goods and paid for Ji Le. "Don't you want pocky? Young man? The latest one is hotpot flavored."
Ji Le took his foot out of the store and took it back again.
Satisfiedly holding the slender hotpot-flavored biscuits in his mouth, Ji Le picked up the bag and prepared to go home.
"Ji Le."
A cold voice stopped him.
Ji Le turned around and said, "Who did I think you were? You are not in the company at this time. What are you doing here?"
Wearing a crisp company uniform, Wareth stood on the street where old men and women frequently walked, looking at Ji Le with a serious look.
"I didn't know you would come to a place like this." Wareth's eyes wandered back and forth between the dilapidated and primitive supermarket behind Ji Le and the slender biscuits in his mouth.
"What's the matter?"
"Recently, we discovered that there is a game called "Wonderful World" on the list, was it made by you?" Wares got straight to the point. "That game has your style."
"Wouldn't it be clear if I did it if you used the company's connections to investigate?"
"Can't find it."
"I'm just a person who was fired by you. Don't think too much of me." Nowadays, Ji Le is much more calm when facing his former boss and is no longer as aggrieved as before.
"It's better not you," Wareth said. "That game violated a taboo. The "Dreamland" you produced before actually made the same mistake, but it was not obvious. But for the sake of insurance, we still have to expel you."
"I have nothing to say to you."
"I didn't tell anyone about the discovery."
"Oh, thank you very much. I ask you to report it quickly and take your leave."
Ji Le carried the bag and left in a swaggering manner.
Wareth looked at Ji Le's back, his suspicion growing stronger.
