Twenty-four hours ago, Yun Ming was still lying on the bed in the staff dormitory of the ninth branch; twenty-four hours later, Yun Ming was already recovering from his injuries in the dark army safe house in Baoxiang County.
Otherwise, the beauty of life lies in its unknowability.
After being shot and comatose for more than ten hours, and indeed unable to sleep, Yun Ming put on a brainwave repeater and entered "Conquer the World" to play a few games.
"It's only 12 o'clock. It's still a long time before dawn. How about playing adventure mode." In the login space, Yun Ming's consciousness was choosing in front of the game mode panel.
It has to be said that Cross Century Company, the producer of "Struggle for Hegemony", is really good at game operations.
Every game has its own audience positioning, and the way the game is played determines its game mode.
For example, the common game modes we know: FPS: first-person shooting; ACT: action-adventure; STG: flight shooting; RPG: role-playing; TPS: third-person shooting; SPG: sports; RTS: real-time strategy; SLG: strategy; FTG : fighting; PZL: puzzle; RCG (RAC): racing; CAG: card; TAB: desktop; MSC: music; WAG: mobile phone; MUD: word game, etc.
Generally speaking, game positioning cannot be changed. Take "Honor of Kings" as an example. Although its entertainment modes include Tower of the Sun, King's Run, Border Breakout, etc., "Honor of Kings" is essentially a game where players compete in 1V1, 3V3, 5V5, etc. For a PVP battle game, adventure mode PVE clearance is the icing on the cake.
However, "Conflict for Hegemony" is different. Its adventure mode is quite playable.
When players choose this mode, they enter a new fictional universe. In this new world, players can explore freely. Each adventure mode will also generate tasks to increase players' enthusiasm.
"The World" is somewhat similar to the "Oasis" in Steven Spielberg's movie "Ready Player One", but it is much more advanced than the latter.
"Ready Player One" is set in the year 2045. The real world, which is on the verge of chaos and collapse, is disappointing. People place their hopes of salvation in the "Oasis", a virtual game universe. As long as people wear VR equipment, they can enter this virtual world that is in sharp contrast with reality. In this world, there are prosperous cities, dazzling players with different images, and classic characters from film and television games of different dimensions can also gather here.
"Oasis" is already an amazing production, but on this earth in 2049, it's still a little bit underwhelming. What I mentioned above is that the more advanced aspect of "Conquer the World" is that it has a considerable number of virtual universes.
"Conquer the World" has hundreds of millions of players around the world. Currently, the number of different adventure mode universes spontaneously counted by players is as high as nearly a thousand. From time to time, there are news on the forum that players have unlocked new universes.
No one knows exactly how many metaverses this game has. It's possible that the top brass at CenturyLink knew about it, but they were tight-lipped.
"Well, I've explored a dozen universes before. Let's open a new dungeon this time. There's plenty of time anyway." Yun Ming made up his mind and chose the "New Journey" option in the adventure mode.
Previously, he and Pu Cheshi teamed up to play the PVP battle mode, which was faster-paced and ended in ten or twenty minutes. The adventure mode took longer, and Yun Ming estimated that he could play this game until dawn.
[You have chosen the adventure mode (team) - a new journey]
[A virtual universe is being randomly generated for you]
[The virtual universe has been generated]
[Matching teammates for you]
[Matching successful]
[Number of your teammates: 1]
"It's just a teammate. It seems that this universe is relatively peaceful."
When entering a new universe for the first time, the system will automatically match players with teammates. The maximum number of teammates is 5, and the minimum is 1. This is determined by the difficulty of the new universe. Just like when you go to a haunted house or escape room, the staff will form teams for the guests. Projects with a high horror factor and extremely brain-burning ones will have more people, and vice versa.
The automatic matching of teammates function is only available when entering a new universe for the first time. If players enter this universe again, they can choose to wander alone.
"Brush", Yun Ming, wearing a Western denim suit, entered this strange virtual universe. His body is sitting, and he can still feel himself shaking: "Am I in a moving vehicle?"
Yun Ming looked like this at the moment: wearing a Mexican-style wide-brimmed high-top felt hat, a Colt revolver on his waist, a bullet belt, jeans, a leather jacket, and a pair of tall boots decorated with spurs. Leather boots, and a brightly colored printed square scarf around the neck.
On the back of the leather jacket, there is a "5" with unknown meaning.
Players have default clothing in the game, and the basic ones are black and white sweatshirts. If you don’t like it, there is also a mall in the game for players to buy what they like. Take the big player Pu Che Shi as an example. He almost plays this game like a dress-up game. The login space is filled with all kinds of clothes and props.
Although he can only wear one set of clothes in one game, this does not affect Pu Che Shi's insistence on buying a skin to make "Kenny" (ken is the name of Barbie's boyfriend. In 1961, its creator, the American toy company Mattel, decided to create ken Doll. He appears in the Barbie movies and Toy Story 3).
As for Yun Ming, who was not doing well in his mercenary career and was living in poverty, he would naturally not put money into the game. The western cowboy suit he is wearing is a limited edition skin for the 5th anniversary of "Conquer the World", and it's free.
As a white light descended, Yun Ming's teammates also entered this world. The light dissipated, and a beautiful woman in ancient costume came into view.
Since my writing skills are really not good at describing the appearance, I borrowed Cao Zhi’s "Beauty Chapter" to describe this girl:
He has a golden hairpin on his head and a jade-colored bandana on his waist. Pearls are intertwined with jade bodies, and corals are intertwined with trees. Luo Yi is fluttering, and the light train is far away with the wind. Gu Pan's legacy is glorious, and his roar is like an orchid.
"Wow, you're a rich person." Yun Ming could tell by looking at the person's appearance that this girl had a lot of money.
This set of ancient costume skins is quite expensive because it is a joint model between "Conquer the World" and the well-known clothing brand "Banque Pavilion". As for how famous this Bird Pavilion is... Let's put it this way, its status in this parallel universe is comparable to Hermes in our world.
The ancient costumes of Bandai Pavilion are its flagship products. The actual price of one piece is not low for the working class, and it is 100% luxury goods. This ancient costume worn by a teammate girl would cost six figures of federal currency in real form (this world has abolished banknotes from various countries, and federal currency is the only currency. Its purchasing power is similar to that of the renminbi, and global prices are no different from those in our country. big).
As the same version of the game, this set of ancient costume skins is priced at 1,399 federal coins. But you get what you pay for, and to be fair, the clothes are really nice.
What Yun Ming regrets is that the girls in his teammates are average-looking and cannot match up with good clothes.
The settings of the game character can modify the appearance and body shape within a certain range, just like the P picture. Almost all the hundreds of millions of female players around the world finish playing the game before entering, and this teammate girl is no exception.
By the way, Yun Ming has also been repaired to some extent, but he can still recognize the real appearance, which counts as showing his true face in the game.
The teammate girl greeted Yun Ming enthusiastically: "Hello, my name is today...eh? Is it you?"
"Is this the second time today that I heard a very familiar voice?" Yun Ming thought about it but didn't know who this girl was until he looked at her ID: [The weather is very good today].
"Can you encounter all of these?" Yun Ming was surprised: "Why is it always you?"
Bai Fei also nodded: "Super clever."
Her coma was slightly shorter than Yun Ming's, and she had already undergone a series of physical examinations after waking up. Bai Fei also didn't want to sleep because she had been dizzy for a long time during the day, so she logged into "Conflict for Hegemony" and played two rounds of PVP. Yun Ming just saw in the login space that Bai Fei in the friends column was online, but he didn't make an appointment. Unexpectedly, he was still included in the team.
Bai Fei looked around: "Yun, do you often play adventure mode? It's my first time playing, so I don't know how to play it." Yun Ming's ID is [Yun Mingming is floating in the sky], and Bai Fei directly calls him the first word. .
"Well... let me take a look." Yun Ming also looked around.
When he first entered this world, Yun Ming felt right. The two of them were sitting in the back of a moving bus.
"This seat is so weird." Yun Ming went to squeeze the seat in the front row: "Is it made of paper?"
"It seems like it's not just the seats," Bai Fei clasped the car body: "These are also made of paper."
Seats, frames, armrests, trash cans...everything seen inside the entire bus is made of paper. There are no glass windows in the car, which are replaced by a thin layer of rice paper. Yun Ming poked a small hole in the rice paper window and looked out of the hole.
On the snow-white road, white cars are running; on both sides of the road, there are pedestrians riding bicycles and walking; further away is a white "grass" field, where there are children chasing puppies and pigeons pacing on the ground. There was peace.
The problem is, these people and objects look like they are made of paper.
I won’t mention the paper cars, paper puppies and paper birds, they are the usual folded ones; I have to mention the paper figures.
The paper figures on the road are not the kind used for funerals, let alone paper figures wives. Instead, they look like various parts of a person folded out of paper: head, hands, arms, legs and torso, and then put together to form a complete paper figure.
"Oh, I understand, the world setting of Curiosity." Yun Ming knew it well. He has entered many different virtual universes with very different styles: there is a future science fiction world, an ancient martial arts world, and a magic world. This paper world, where the sky and the earth are all white, is obviously a purely imaginary and curious universe.
"Tsk", the paper bus stopped, and the paper driver announced the stop: "We've arrived at the History Museum stop."
"Ding dong." Yun Ming and Bai Fei heard the beep at the same time, which meant that the adventure mode mission was triggered.
"Master, get out of the car." Yun Ming quickly took Bai Fei out of the car without having time to read the mission.
"Why did you get off the car suddenly?" Bai Fei was puzzled.
Yun Ming pointed to an eggshell-shaped white building not far from the bus stop: "Because the driver triggered the task just after reporting the stop. Obviously our task will be related to the history museum."
Newcomer Bai Fei nodded to show that she understood.
"Let's take a look at the mission." Yun Ming brought up the panel with a line of words written on it:
【End the origami world war and restore peace】
