There were dense and neatly arranged folders. Every time you clicked on it, there would be another page filled with separate files. Yu Yuan just opened one of them and browsed for a while, and then he knew exactly what it was.

This is a draft of game design that he left behind before he chose to hibernate 70 years ago.

The name of the first folder looks like an ancient game. Sure enough, after clicking on the contents, each file is as large as the general world view setting, and as small as a certain NPC setting. There were drafts named after various games, and he even saw one that seemed to be a novel he tried to write back then.

...Although his memory is indeed missing, it does not prevent him from realizing that these are his own dark history.

The doctor told him that his brain disease was not treated in time, or could not be treated seventy years ago, and the biggest impact was memory and intellectual problems. After learning about this, Yu Yuan couldn't help but complain. Somewhat fortunately, although the memory may be a little less, but at least it is not mentally retarded.

Thinking like this, he simply flipped through a few documents from the inside, some of which were accompanied by illustrations and sketches of characters that should have been drawn by him, and so on. Maybe it was a little valuable seventy years ago, but with the current perspective Nine times out of ten, there is not much reference value, so after a while, I pulled out the U disk.

Perhaps because there were too many files, he didn't notice that there was a sub-file in the directory that he had missed. The file name was very concise and clear, summarizing the attributes of this game project.

——The draft plan of the Western Fantasy RPG "Journey to the Fantasy World"

The seemingly unremarkable documents were submerged in many planning drafts that were also in the style of Western fantasy games.

Shortly after the zombie game incident, Mr. Lu occasionally joined their four-black team, perhaps because the image in the game was somewhat different from reality, but there was no strange sense of distance in reality.

It's just that Lin Ling, the technician, suffered.

"You don't think there's anything wrong? Why does Mr. Lu keep playing games with you and don't suspect any reason?" Finally one day he couldn't help but question Yu Yuan.

"...Didn't you say that Mr. Lu is also very approachable in the company?"

"That's not such an approachable approach!" Lin Ling said, "You think about it, if Mr. Lu really played games with every new employee, then the company would have to close down sooner or later?! God knows I saw Mr. Lu for the first time. Appearing in the team almost didn't scare me off."

Yu Yuan was silent for a while.

It seems reasonable.

It's not that he didn't ask Lu Mingyuan, but the answer given by the other party was basically "I want to experience the game of my peers and feel the difference in our technology", and the meaning of such words is obvious.

However, this matter has not yet come to a conclusion. In the blink of an eye, Yu Yuan will soon have no time to participate in the short fixed game session every Sunday - the time for the primary architect exam is coming.

Since the first day he signed up for the course, he has been conscientiously spending time in the holographic cabin every night until eleven or twelve o'clock. In addition, he also has a "seventy-year-old foundation" that can be used a little bit, so he is basically guaranteed to pass. thing.

The day of the exam was a Sunday, and the whole process went smoothly, and Lin Ling also made an appointment with him early in the morning to bring his sister Lin Yi to get together for a meal that night. Quan should be celebrating Yu Yuan's successful entry into the amateur exam. Passed the certificate.

During the banquet, for some reason, Yu Yuan suddenly thought of Lu Mingyuan.

He had mentioned to Mr. Lu about his exam by chance before. Now that he has a good result, shouldn't he also tell the other person?

But when you think about it, it seems a little weird...

Inexplicably, he was entangled in this kind of thing, but before he could come up with the result, Lin Ling, who was using his terminal device to browse the social circle, almost jumped three feet high, "Damn, look!"

Lin Yi also followed, "What, brother, you almost startled me by making such a fuss."

With a suspicious look on his face, Yu Yuan clicked on the link shared by Lin Ling, and after clicking on it, there was a holographic projection of the game's promotional video.

The vivid and wonderful game screen is limited to square inches, but it can still feel like a shrunken microscopic world. He looked at Lin Ling in confusion, not understanding what it meant, and it didn't seem to be a scene in their company's game.

"The West Magic holographic RPG of Blazing Game Company is now publicizing the in-game live video, and the internal test will begin soon," Lin Ling sipped a cold beer angrily, "You don't know, this company is very disgusting. Man, since our company's "Fantasy" became popular, he has been staring at it like a fly. You say that others follow the trend and make a low-quality game with similar style and gameplay. Just his family, not only imitating but also always attacking Fantasia openly and secretly. , there have been espionage incidents, and in the early days, all kinds of Mr. Lu's dark history were fabricated as attack points, but unfortunately, the games made by our company are rotten..."

Some curious Yu Yuan took advantage of the situation and asked a couple of questions. Lin Ling counted the things that this company had done with his fingers. Although he didn't understand how such a company could still survive today, it made Yu Yuan even more. For attention is a matter about Mr. Lu.

"Mr. Lu admitted in his earliest interview that his inspiration came from an old semi-finished game that had no chance to be released in the computer game era. Many players also regard this as a feeling and a tribute to the predecessors in the game industry. And so on, but the Blazing Company didn't know where it came from at the time, holding a bunch of so-called 'evidence' and saying that the establishment of "Fantasy" is basically plagiarism, and as a result, even the half-finished old game can't run, what kind of thing do you think it is? Plagiarism?"

"When "The Magical Path" was the most popular, this incident was brought to court. At that time, our company must have been sentenced to win, but those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. The blazing fire is still dancing around now. Taking advantage of the popularity of "Fantasy", you can see that this is not another Western Magic Hologram. In today's interview, they planned to say "bring players the best experience in the industry and show the real ninth art", go to him Damn, when I attacked our "Fantasy", I often said it was 'a tribute is plagiarism, an insult to the existence of the ninth art', **** I'm going to add incense to the fire now..."

The more Lin Ling talked, the more excited he became, especially the kind of person who was easy to get on after drinking a little wine. He looked like a die-hard veteran of Abyss Technology. Say badly.

At this time, seeing that Yu Yuan still seemed to be thinking about this matter, Lin Yi on the side showed a sly expression.

"My brother has a very important black material that I didn't mention. Blazing has always had a big controversy - they hired real people to control NPCs."

The impact on Yu Yuan was not small, "Isn't it programming?"

Even if the NPCs in "Fantasy" look like real people, they are only growth AIs. He thought that the whole industry was like this, but he didn't expect this kind of operation.

Lin Yi shook his finger, "No, although players think it's a rumor, many companies in the industry know that Blazing Fire is the type that supports real people to control NPCs. This is the biggest difference between him and your Abyss Technology."

"There are pros and cons to real man manipulation. The biggest advantage is that it is highly controllable and relatively stable. Unlike the abyss where you have to repair NPCs every three or five times, and one person can control more than one at the same time after training and learning, the cost will be much lower, and there is no need for Build a real world for those NPCs—because everyone was human from the start, right?"

"But the drawbacks are also obvious. The most typical one is that it is not real enough. Acting is actually a very energy-intensive thing, not to mention having to live in the game for a long time, especially since the outside world has always said that their company has a high work intensity, and most The most serious situation...may be that the virtual reality is inseparable, causing mental damage. In fact, their company made similar news a few years ago, but the compensation was very high. After the family at the time agreed, the news broke. It was deliberately suppressed."

Under the popular science of Lin Yi, who also majored in game-related fields, not only his brother but also his parents, Yu Yuan learned for the first time the rules of NPC operation in holographic games.

"The research on holographic game NPCs is divided into two directions. One believes that human manipulation can reduce risks, especially at that time, some patients with physical problems themselves could live in the holographic world through their brains, so this direction was initially quite popular. Agreed—but later it gradually became a high-intensity requirement for normal actors, and the sense of fidelity became lower and lower, and more people began to support another direction, which is the one you Mr. Lu chose— — Program a 'real world'."

"Mr. Lu first became famous because the NPCs he wrote were 'real', which is beyond the reach of many people. In the early days, there were often interviews about how he did it. What Mr. Lu said at the time... ....'Take those NPCs as yourself'?"

......

Treat the NPC as yourself...

For some reason, Lin Yi's words kept echoing in his ears, and Yu Yuan was still thinking about it until he returned to his home after leaving the scene with the Lin family.

At this time, there is a message reminder on the terminal.

[Lu Mingyuan]: Is the exam today? I was busy during the day and forgot, I haven't wished you a smooth passage ^_^

Thinking of what Lin Ling told him during the meal, Yu Yuan couldn't help but suspect that Mr. Lu was still busy on Sunday. Could it be related to the new game released by the Blazing Company? After all, according to what Lin Ling said, the fiery person seems to have also hinted at the name of the Abyss Technology in the interview. Does it mean that the Abyss side also needs to keep an eye on each other's movements.

[Yu Yuan]: Yes, thank you Mr. Lu, I should be able to get the official certificate next weekend, and then I will prepare for the registration for the intermediate exam

After replying to the news, Yu Yuan took a look at the homepage of the social networking site. Sure enough, one of the most popular items in real-time is #blazing fire "phantom continent"#, and then pull down, and #blazing abyss##phantom continent closed beta appointment##Xu Chi talks about the ninth art# and so on Wait, whether it's black and red as Lin Ling said, the discussion is really hot.

But just click on one, and you can see that there are topics discussed below with "Fantasy Journey" or Abyss Technology, and sometimes other games are also included. All in all, every popular one is produced, it must be more or less similar to other types. A match for the game.

[Lu Mingyuan]: That's good

Is Mr. Lu still in the company at this time? Or deal with these things at home?

[Yu Yuan]: You also rest early, good night

As soon as the news was sent out, Yu Yuan felt embarrassed to the bottom of his toes. If he didn't meet in the game, talking to Mr. Lu would be a little bit stressful. After all, he was facing his boss, and he was afraid that there would be something wrong with the standard he grasped.

Fortunately, the other party didn't continue to say anything, otherwise he would have to kill the remaining half of his brain cells tonight just by thinking about how to reply.

[Lu Mingyuan]: Good night, good dream.

The night outside the window is still the same, and the night in Baidu is always so prosperous, as if the lights will not go out all night.

Yu Yuan stared out the window. The seventy years he had been lying in the hibernation barn passed like a snap of his fingers. Even though it was still the same piece of land under his feet, the scenery on it changed from generation to generation, changing faster and faster.

Maybe he doesn't have a related family, but he is very sure that this era already has something he misses, and he is very grateful that he has the luck to enter the abyss technology.

After all this time, he still doesn't change. Maybe "Internet Addicted Boy" is something written in his DNA...but he is sure.

He was all convinced that he still wanted to make games.

Not long after, as soon as he went to work one day, Lin Ling sent Yu Yuan a special proposal.

"Test live broadcast?" Yu Yuan felt that this project was a bit miraculous, "Can holographic games also be broadcast live?"

"Of course, players can freely choose the perspective of substitution, just like the technicians in the background, and not only will there be testers within our company, but also famous game broadcasters on the star network, ah, in short, this time the company wants Warm up the horror dungeons that are open to the summer event in advance, the advertising is very strong, you know? The testers have to choose, not everyone who wants to go can go..."

Lin Ling talked a lot, but when Yu Yuan heard that this was a horror game, he instantly lost the desire to participate in the selection - after all, he was a person who played the VR version of Silent Hill and could be scared to the ground. The existence of direct offline can't move.

"Why don't you go, if you are selected, I can still watch your live broadcast and take a day off."

Yu Yuanyi sternly refused, "I'd rather play butter than play a haunted horror game."

When he saw the game video next to him, he felt that something was wrong. Haunted horror and zombies are definitely not the same concept, and the types of scares are different, and this time it is not a necessary task in work.

Lin Ling: "Broadcasters have millions of fans on Xingwang. During the live broadcast, their fans can also be cut to the tester's perspective. If you perform well, you will receive a reward. This event will reward you. Only half points with the platform, our company doesn't care about you, is it not good to make a little extra money?"

Yu Yuan was unmoved, it was difficult to be selected based on his performance, and he still wanted someone to reward him?

Lin Ling took a deep breath, and then took out the trump card, "The selected testers have an additional subsidy this time, which is almost equal to half of your salary this month."

Yu Yuan: "..."

"You say it earlier next time."

Lin Ling: "I knew it."

During the next few days after get off work, Yu Yuan and Lin Ling played all the most famous horror games on the holographic platform, and the clearance efficiency became higher and higher.

Lin Ling, who started dreaming about ghosts pressing the bed, was very devastated, "I finally understand that there are no ghosts in this world, only poor ghosts—no, you are not poor at all, what are you doing to make money like this? Don't you need so much money?! Or are you in debt? It shouldn't be that I think you don't charge money in the game, don't you be deceived?"

God knows that Yu Yuan is playing zombie games, and he still uses the equipment sent by the system, and he doesn't even receive the first recharge reward.

"No," Yu Yuan denied his guess, "there is a reason, it's a bit special anyway..."

"How special is it?" Lin Ling also knew that he came out of the Thawing Center, and suddenly there was a cold behind his back, and he had a bad premonition, "Your illness should be completely cured, right? No..."

He was suddenly a little worried, wouldn't the other party want to save money for the next freeze? Or continue to spend money on medical treatment?

The sympathetic technician Lin's expression became complicated in an instant.

"Fuck, don't make a fool of yourself," Yu Yuan was a little speechless by his manipulation, "Anyway, you should just think I'm short of money."

"Don't you?" Lin Ling was even more surprised now, "My friend, remember to find me if you are in trouble. The times are different now. The methods of fraud are more complicated than in your time. Don't be scammed online. My grandfather not long ago. …”

"Two generations" who were born 70 years apart, sometimes in Lin Ling's mind, Yu Yuan would feel like an "old man" who just came out of the past. It's just that this "old man" can play games abnormally, but he still bears it. I can't stop worrying that the other party will not be fascinated by the new trick.

"Wake up, I'm not an old man targeted by fraudsters!"

"There are also online scams for newbies..."

Lin Ling began to ramble about the law again.

Maybe it’s worth the effort. The company’s internal live broadcast tester selection really made Yu Yuan selected. After training on so many horror games, he can directly drop the line without being scared when he sees a ghost. Able to meet directly face to face.

It can be said that money numbs oneself.

There is another tester selected together, a man and a woman. When the time comes, the two of them will live broadcast the horror gameplay of "Fantasy Journey" that will be launched in the summer with the star network anchor specially invited by the company. There is a built-in independent copy of "Anderson." Family Life".

It looks like a very ordinary name, but who would have thought that it is actually a horror game.

Finally, the day came when the live broadcast started.

After entering the holographic cabin as usual, it was pitch black, and it automatically entered the game preloading interface.

This time, Lin Ling is no longer connected to him in the background, but he has been taught all the things to pay attention to before. If someone chooses to watch the live broadcast from his perspective, or switch to God's perspective and choose him, they can also Interact with him.

Yu Yuan took a deep breath, still feeling a little nervous. The nervousness this time was not because of the horror game, but because he had probably heard about it. The warm-up promotion is also because of the impact of the same type of game that Blazing Company immediately opened for testing last time, so they continue to develop more innovative gameplay in the game.

Maybe just as one of the two testers, his idea is a little superfluous. After all, the main popularity depends on the publicity and the big broadcasters invited on the star network, but if the testers perform well in the game... .Will it help the company's publicity?

On the day he passed the test and was selected, Mr. Lu congratulated him when he came forward.

——If possible, he also wants to help the company as much as possible.

["The Life of the Anderson Family" is loaded)

【Identity is random...】

【Your identity is: Father Clay Taylor】

priest?

He had already passed the novice tutorial before, and learned that each identity has unique skills to match, so there will naturally be a difference in strength. The identity of a priest seems to have little effect in his impression, although it is not the lowest level. , but the supporting skills...indescribable.

This is almost like the expiry of the European Emperor Experience Card, and it is finally a bad luck - but it is impossible to quit and shake again, so you can only go down first.

It is hoped that his performance may make up for the weakness of the priest himself.

【Background loading...】

[Duke Anderson lives in the capital city of the Pope and is a well-known great nobleman. When the residents of the city mentioned him, they all praised this great nobleman. 】

[Our beloved Duke Anderson, he also has a happy family, he has a beautiful wife, Mrs. Anderson, and obedient and well-behaved children, everything seems to be so beautiful——]

[But why... someone would be dissatisfied with this kind of life and try to destroy it? 】

【Welcome to the game】

When he opened his eyes again, Yu Yuan was in a new place.

He looked left and right, only to realize that this place seemed to be... a confessional in a church?

The clothes on his body also changed, with a black long shirt and a cross hanging on his chest. He raised his hand and touched his hair. The black curly hair was retained, and his appearance should not change.

A brand new page jumped out in front of me.

[Player: Yu Yuan (internal beta tester)]

[The live broadcast has officially started, please follow the rules of the game and join up with your other teammates~]

[Current number of people watching the live broadcast: 13, popularity value: 180]

I also know that it is all colleagues who will choose him.

There was a hint of relief.

The barrage interface can be freely chosen to close, especially when there are too many people watching it, but for Yu Yuan, who has not been watched by many people at all, it has no effect if it is turned on all the time. The few lines that passed by occasionally showed that Lin Ling was speaking alone.

[Damn, I thought you came out as a NB with your European spirit, what happened to the priest, Yu Mou——]

"Luck is here, maybe there is a miracle." Yu Yuan began to try to interact.

The quest screen now has only one quest.

[Please meet with your teammates at the [Dead Souls Bar] [Remaining time of the mission: 1h57min]]

There is a distance guide next to it, it doesn't seem to be far away, and it won't take long to walk, maybe his birth point is brushed closer.

After thinking about it, he still checked the character's information first.

【Clay Taylor】

[Identity: Father of the Central Holy See]

[Talent: [Affinity] [Believer] [Blessing of Holy Light]]

[Props: [Cross] [Holy Water]...]

......

After looking around and researching the skills, Yu Yuan completely understood the weakness of the role of priest.

This **** is a super-type character at all. Others come to horror games to take risks to fight ghosts, and priests use crosses and prayers to influence ghosts. The most terrible thing is that [Bright Prayer] in the skills, etc. are still probabilistic trigger skills, that is to say Whether it can exorcise ghosts depends on luck? ! If you don't succeed, you will die, not to mention that the priest's physical fitness and other values ​​are not very good. It can be said that it is a double waste of power and speed.

——Killing ghosts directly is no faster than exorcising ghosts, and it is completely effective. How could the audience come to see him and say prayers!

But what's worse is yet to come.

There is a basic gameplay setting in "Life of the Anderson Family" that he read early in the morning. During the day, players are in a state of absolute safety and can move freely. Once it gets dark, no matter where they are, they may encounter Danger.

In this case, if you want to ensure your own absolute safety, there is only one way to crack it - each player will have a random safety condition, and the difficulty of the condition changes with the difficulty of the game.

The most common safety condition is to hide in a safe house. For example, he was a general physician at the time of the novice tutorial, and the safe house is his own consultation room. The absolute safety condition at night is that he cannot come out of it.

Or other safety conditions, such as killing ghosts during the day, can only be 100% safe at night, etc., all exist.

And this time his safety conditions...

[The absolute safety conditions for your night are: stay within a certain range of Pope Hoyle Ban, please refer to the in-game instructions for the specific range. 】

What the **** security conditions, how come there is still a mobile safe house? !
