At 10 o'clock in the evening, Du Gang submitted today's report and entered the game world of "Dark Sand" again.
This is already the sixth day of official testing for this epoch-making virtual reality game.
In these six days, this game has accumulated great popularity, especially the clearance videos released, which have become a daily topic of conversation among players. An important section of most gaming forums and news outlets.
So far, there are fewer and fewer players who still firmly believe that it is a huge scam.
The attitude of most players towards it has turned into eager expectations and resentment of not being able to get what they want.
Although the vast majority of internal beta qualifications for the game "Dark Sand" have been issued to domestic players, a small number of places have also been issued to foreign countries.
There are not many foreign players, but after layers of screening, almost all of them are top game masters. They already have a lot of fans and credibility on the website.
Therefore, after these people came out to praise the game "Dark Sand", more and more players who have never played this game began to believe that this is indeed an epoch-making game made with mysterious black technology. virtual reality game.
I just don’t know when the official will continue to increase the number of places for internal testing as agreed in advance.
So far, foreign players have not shown particularly outstanding qualities in clearing customs. The reason is simple. They are missing the most important link, which is the knowledge of Chinese history.
We can only wait for domestic players to release clearance videos and strategies, and then translate them into other languages, and then these foreign players can try to clear the level.
In this regard, many foreign players are also calling for the game "Dark Sand" to launch a copy of Western professions and Western history as soon as possible.
The official response was: There will be, but not in the short term.
The official did not give much explanation, but the word "will" can be regarded as a piece of cake for foreign players and temporarily appease their emotions.
The real reason is simple, it just cannot be announced.
"Dark Sand" is not a game, it is actually history that has happened in the past.
History is a river that connects ancient times and reality, and only Chinese history has a complete inheritance from ancient times to reality. Many Western histories either only have parts that are close to reality, or were chronologically dated back in ancient times, and their completeness and continuity are much poorer.
Therefore, even if there is some copy content of Western history in "Dark Sand" in the future, the priority will definitely be lower and it will only exist as a branch line.
At present, Meng Yuan has not even mastered the Chinese history, and he certainly does not have the energy to pay attention to the historical slices related to Western history.
In short, the game is becoming more and more popular.
But Du Gang's investigation into this game still made little progress.
Even if he has passed the Assassin Trial.
Entering the game world of "Dark Sand" as usual, Du Gang wondered whether he should go to other trial dungeons to take a look, or should he continue to fight the assassin dungeon and improve his own clearance process?
Just when he was struggling with this, suddenly, ripples like water surface appeared in the space in front of him.
A young man with delicate features and a handsome face who seemed a little sad came to him.
Du Gang was stunned for a moment, because he had seen this person before.
Isn't this the "brother who persuades you to quit" that you met when you first entered the game "Dark Sand"?
He was still in the palace floating in the sky before entering the trial copy, surrounded by smoke and thick white stone pillars reaching into the sky, like the residence of an immortal.
When he first came here, he met this brother who persuaded him to retire. He had the title of "Mediocre Reducer Who Failed the Trial" on his head. After spreading negative energy to him, he also gave him a piece of The special jade pendant that can enter the trial dungeon symbolizes the identity inheritance of the orderer.
Obviously, those are cutscenes arranged by the game. Every player will meet this guy when they enter the game and will go through the same process.
But after that, the brother who persuaded him to quit never appeared again.
"Hello, Mr. Du Gang.
"Let me introduce myself again. I am the person in charge of operation and maintenance of the game "Dark Sand". You can call me 'Beichen'.
"I know that you have a special status, so I want to talk to you candidly today.
"You can ask any questions you have, and I will do my best to help you answer them."
Meng Yuan made a simple self-introduction. Although his face and name were fake, his identity as the person in charge of game operation and maintenance couldn't be more genuine.
Meng Yuan didn't dare to say that he was the main designer of this game. Although there were only two people in this game, he and Shenshang, and Shenshang's identity was more like a programmer or a freelance planner, but Meng Yuan was also very self-aware and knew this. The game is not designed by myself at all.
At most, he can be regarded as an operation and maintenance personnel.
Du Gang couldn't help being surprised.
On the one hand, I feel a little surprised, because the official of this game has always been very mysterious and has an indifferent attitude towards everyone. This time, an insider with such a high status was sent to meet him, which is really a bit strange. Flattered.
The person in charge of operation and maintenance can be regarded as a key figure almost on an equal footing with the chief designer in the structure of a game.
On the other hand, it is full of vigilance.
Because Du Gang didn't know how the other party knew about his "special status"!
As the leader of a special unit, his work is strictly confidential and there is almost no possibility of leaks. But the other party's attitude was so determined, which of course made Du Gang wary.
However, when you think about the mysteries surrounding this mysterious company and the black technologies that are currently unexplainable by science, including brainwave ripple recognition technology, it seems that the priority of this matter can be pushed back.
Meng Yuan waved, and two large stone chairs that matched the scene appeared on the scene, gesturing for Du Gang to sit down.
In fact, this thing is not comfortable to sit on, but I have no choice but to maintain my style.
Immediately afterwards, Meng Yuan raised his hand to signal to Du Gang. Du Gang noticed that there was a cigarette between the two fingers of his right hand. It had been lit and it was his favorite brand.
"Please feel free to do so," Meng Yuan said.
Du Gang was silent for a moment and then said: "Thank you."
It seemed that the person in charge of operations named Beichen knew much more about him than he thought. He even knew that he loved to smoke, and even knew the specific brand.
This seems to no longer be explained by simple information leakage.
Du Gang picked up the cigarette and took a puff, and found that the taste was no different from that in reality. However, here, he no longer exhaled the smoke when he exhaled. It seemed that the second-hand smoke was directly ignored by this virtual world.
After the pleasantries, it’s time to get down to business.
Du Gang had too many doubts, but he could only ask them one by one.
"Mr. Beichen, what kind of company are you? Where is your address? Where do these virtual reality game technologies... come from?"
Meng Yuan did not answer immediately, but gave it a try.
"I can give you a very clear answer to these questions. However, after knowing these truths, you will no longer be able to enter some important game content in the game "Dark Sand".
"Are you sure you want to know?"
Du Gang hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "OK."
Although he also likes the game "Dark Sand", whether it is due to the need for work or his inner sense of responsibility, he must know the truth. As for missing part of the gaming experience, this is not a heavy price for him.
Meng Yuan nodded, obviously already expecting Du Gang to make such a choice.
"Okay, then let me show off my cards directly. After all, "Dark Sand" really needs your cooperation if it wants to hide it from the players.
“Actually, Dark Sands is not a game.
“You see the game CG at the beginning, those things about the Orderer, they are all real.
"There are indeed demons in this world, and demons are indeed hiding in the past history, trying to tamper with the past historical line, and even enter reality and harm the world.
"And "Dark Sand" is actually a special selection process for the Orderers. The purpose is to select suitable candidates to enter a specific slice of history to eliminate those monsters and maintain the safety of all mankind.
"And all the technologies you see that cannot be explained by science are actually the special abilities of the Orderers."
