i really just want to play games

Chapter 14 The Bizarre Adventure of Li Laoju
Although Li Laoju was a little astonished, he had never seen such a big storm, so he quickly came to his senses and began to think about why the game made this plot.

"A tribute to a certain game? It's possible." Li Laoju took advantage of the game to restart and touched her chin. "But in fact, as a novice guide, there is no need to design this bridge section. And not all players are as boring as me. Normal players should just follow the main line."

Then Li Laoju suddenly realized: "The most important thing in playing games is to explore the fun. The ending of building the network hub tower is actually an easter egg. It was designed by the producer to take care of players like me."

After thinking about this, Li Laoju smiled and said: "This game is very careful. I need to write this down and take notes to study in the future."

……

After Li Laoju built the automatic food factory according to the normal process of "Hymn", he started to complete the construction of the buildings one by one according to the novice guidance.

Seeing that the base, which was relatively vacant, became full, Li Laoju felt a sense of satisfaction in her heart.

"The novice guide is excellent, and the overall gameplay is very solid. Although there are not many innovations, it really uses the mature framework of the predecessors. I am a very strong fan!" Wei Wei commented on the early game brought him Feeling it, Li Laoju rolled up his sleeves and said to the game screen:

"Come on! It's the end of the world, don't be so lazy!"

The production screen in the game screen is still in full swing. After building two more resource collection stations, Li Laoju discovered a problem, that is, the population has never increased.

"Tsk! I have an ominous premonition again." Li Laoju frowned.

After playing for about five to 10 minutes, Li Laoju reached the middle stage of "Hymn".Although the game screen at this time is normal, it seems to be a test of the player's ability, like other survival strategy games, to see how long the player can persist.

But the experienced Li Laoju knows that the producer who can make the Easter egg at the beginning will not make "Anthem" so mediocre. Even now, Li Laoju has not seen any connection between the game and its title "Anthem".

"Sure enough!" Li Laoju knew that the real main story had arrived when she saw the game camera zooming in suddenly.

There is still a villain waving to the player, but this time the villain is replaced by a scientist wearing a robe and glasses.

[Dear Commander, I am your chief scientist.I am grateful that you have allowed the shelter to survive this difficult time, but the shelter is already an island of humanity, and according to the highest special protocols, I have to recommend to you that you start the 'Anthem' project.

In order to plan smoothly, I will give you a blueprint of the 'Mind Control Room', I hope you can make up your mind. 】

After the plot prompt is over, the game screen is pulled to the normal perspective, and then a piece of architectural blueprint slips into the construction button in the lower right corner.

At the same time, an oval-shaped red button appeared next to the construction button, with the words "Start Anthem Project" written on it.

"The theme is clearly stated, and it can be seen that the producer has actually designed a complete world view!" Li Laoju was a little surprised.

Because generally for such small-scale games, you only need to design a rough story, and there is no need to design a game world view. It seems that the producers of "Hymn" have big plans and have plans to make a sequel from the beginning.

After clicking the build button, Li Laoju saw the architectural model of the 'Thinking Control Room', and then began to think about whether to act according to the chief scientist's prompt.

Almost instinctively, Li Laoju smiled strangely, and said: "I just like to find another way. I won't build a 'thought control room'. Let's see if there are any interesting things."

Li Laoju slid the mouse, clicked on the red [Start Anthem Project], and began to observe the changes in the game after entering the main line.

"Fortunately, this game didn't learn any moths, what kind of population satisfaction system is it?" Li Laoju said with a smile.

This sentence seems to have magic power. On the top of the picture of "Hymn", a rectangular frame begins to appear. In the black frame, there is a long white strip, and this strip occupies 80.00% of the entire frame. space.

On the right side of the box it is written: Confidence.

"Shocked!" Li Laoju spat out the mantra.

Next, Li Laoju quickly clicked the construction button to see if there was any way to remedy it, but found that the architectural drawings of the 'Thinking Control Room' had disappeared and were replaced by more than a dozen brand-new construction projects.

"Portable gene carrying warehouse, automatic repair warehouse, multi-torque engine, small platform launcher..."

Li Laoju was thinking about these new construction projects, and wanted to find out what the "Hymn Project" in the game was.

"Hiss—" Li Laoju took a breath, and then said: "This is equivalent to a spaceship!"

At the same time, he found that the confidence bar at the top began to decay, falling directly from the original 80.00% to 70.00%.Then the word [-20] appeared in the population column, and then a small message box popped up:
[Because of the launch of the hymn project, the atmosphere in the refuge became tense, some desperate people chose to commit suicide, and some people who did not want to face reality chose to escape...]

"The Anthem Project should be like the Tinder Project in the movie. It is to run away with the human DNA library? But isn't this too sloppy? If you keep going, you should be able to contact other shelters, right?"

Li Laoju shook his head, feeling that this lacked some novelty, but the situation in the game had become tense, so he still focused most of his attention on operating the game.

Since it is the first time to play here, although Li Laoju has rich experience in similar games, it still completely collapsed when the spaceship was built a third of the time. The last population committed suicide, escaped and escaped. The subtitle of [game over] appeared.

"Come again!"

……

As a player, the most basic game mentality is not to admit defeat, so Li Laoju continued to try to pass the level without building a 'thinking laboratory'.

This time, there were not many failures like the easter egg at the beginning. After six attempts, Li Laoju finally completed the construction of the spacecraft.

"Phew! It's finally finished. I don't know if there will be any problems this time. But why do I always feel that my spaceship is in a shabby state..."

Seeing the completed spacecraft being pushed to the ground for launch, Li Laoju put down the mouse in his hand and leaned on the chair with his hands on the back of his head.I started staring at the game screen, wanting to see what the ending of the game I chose in this way would be.

[Due to the desperation in the construction process of the spaceship, the negative attitude of the engineers also made the quality of the spaceship unqualified.Therefore, after entering the stratosphere, the spacecraft disintegrated and exploded...]

[Unfortunately, the Anthem Project failed. 】
