Almighty Video Game Designer

Zhou Jiangping looked around. It was Chen Mo's voice, clearly coming from outside the game cabin.

"I feel ... I feel twenty years younger." Zhou Jiangping moved his hands and feet and even jumped twice, which attracted the attention of the special police on duty.

"Director Zhou," Chen Mo said through the microphone,"try to get used to this feeling first. Try not to do too many weird actions. The NPCs in the game aren't that smart, but if you keep jumping around, they'll still complain about you."

Zhou Jiangping was speechless.

"Alright," Chen Mo continued,"let's move forward. You'll see the corresponding hints in your field of vision. The game will execute the actions automatically during the battle, so don't worry."

Zhou Jiangping said as he walked,""To be able to get salent to personally guide me in playing the game, I'm still quite a decent player."

It looked like a luxurious mansion with a large area. On the left wall was a huge aquarium embedded in the wall, and on the right table was a family photo of three. The living room alone was already bigger than the living room of an average family.

Zhou Jiangping walked around the corner, and a fully armed special police officer and a middle-aged woman with tears on her face came towards him.

All the special police officers here were armed with live ammunition, and their bodies were tightly wrapped. Even their helmets were fully covered, giving off a rather high-tech feel. Obviously, the game was set in a certain timeline in the future, and it was not too far away.

"I beg you, please save my daughter ..."

"Wait a minute, you're going to send an Android? You ... You can't do this! You will kill her! Why don't you send a real person?"

"Why are you wasting time on an Android to negotiate!!"

The middle-aged woman, who seemed to have grabbed onto a life-saving straw, seemed to have changed into a different person after seeing the ring on Zhou Jiangping's temple. She was almost wailing as she was taken away by the Special Forces.

Zhou Jiangping was somewhat baffled,'Android? I'm an Android?"

As he continued walking, a notification appeared in his field of vision."You can start scanning at any time to find the target's information."

Zhou Jiangping tried to activate the scan. The moment he did so, a light blue Stream of data flashed across his field of vision and scanned the entire room.

The matrix glasses had a similar function, but the scanning function in the game was obviously more powerful.

In this mode, all the sounds around him disappeared, and everyone's movements stopped. Zhou Jiangping felt as if he had stopped the time of the entire world. The space was divided into small squares by light blue lines. On the left side of his vision, the current mission target was displayed: [Search for Captain Allen]. Behind the wall in the distance, a dark yellow silhouette could be vaguely seen. That should be the target location.

Zhou Jiangping turned off the scanning mode, and the flow of time in the surroundings returned to normal.

The Special Forces were nervously preparing for battle. Some were moving quickly, some were loading their guns, some were hiding behind cover to observe the outside, or communicating with each other through walkie-talkies.

Zhou Jiangping strolled through the living room and headed to the master bedroom.

This time, Zhou Jiangping didn't jump around or do anything weird. It wasn't because of Chen Mo's suggestion, but because it was really hard to do something like that in this environment.

Many players liked to do repetitive meaningless actions in some games, such as running and jumping, because the immersion in these games was not that strong. Facing the third person character on the screen, many players liked to let him jump around when they had nothing to do, and it had almost become a habit.

However, in VR games with neural-connection technology, the player was equivalent to transmigrating into the character.

In other words, this scene gave Zhou Jiangping the feeling that he had really come to such a mansion. There were really countless special police officers nervously and seriously moving around him. All of this was so real, and he subconsciously stopped doing those meaningless actions.

It was like how many people were smiling in private, but once they were on the podium, they would become serious in front of the public. This was the influence of the environment.

"Captain Allan? I'm Connor, an Android sent by model life. "

When he came to Captain Allen's side, Zhou Jiangping's character automatically spoke.

During this time, Zhou Jiangping once again lost control of his character. He could clearly feel what he was doing and saying, but he couldn't interfere.

However, he was basically used to this feeling. It was nothing more than waiting for a cutscene.

Captain Allen obviously didn't have a good impression of Connor. He very perfunctorily introduced the situation at the scene and turned his head away, no longer talking to Connor.

At this moment, an interface appeared in Zhou Jiangping's field of vision. There were different options on it. He asked for the anomaly's name, behavior, whether the anomaly had been emotionally stimulated, and if he had tried the Android's stopping code.

(In the original work, these options were very short, and some could cause ambiguity. Chen Mo purposely added these conversation options to make it easier for the players to understand.

Zhou Jiangping began to communicate with Captain Allen according to the options. After choosing one of the options, Connor would talk to Captain Allen, but Captain Allen soon lost his patience and left after baring his teeth at Zhou Jiangping.

Zhou Jiangping once again regained control of his body, and at this time, a new message appeared on the left side of his vision: [Success rate: 48%]

Zhou Jiangping roughly understood his situation. He was an artificial intelligence Android with many cool abilities, such as scanning surrounding information, recording current targets, calculating the success rate of the target, and so on. His mission was to analyze the crime scene and rescue the hostages.

Zhou Jiangping turned on search mode again, searching for useful information in this room.

The first piece of information was the suitcase on the ground next to the bookshelf. Zhou Jiangping squatted down to take a closer look and found that the suitcase should have contained a pistol.

His gaze swept across the entire suitcase. When the focus stopped at a certain location, the artificial intelligence system of the Android would automatically analyze that location and reconstruct the entire clue.

Zhou Jiangping focused his eyes on the groove in the suitcase where the pistol was placed. The text message "collecting information" began to appear above it, as well as a growing progress bar. At the same time, many red lines outlined the shape of a pistol, continuously condensing.

The moment the analysis was completed, the pistol shadow showed the specific information of the purge.

"Ms 853 Black Eagle, capacity: 17 bullets (. 335 caliber), audience: 22 cm/barrel: 13 cm "

After analyzing the bullet next to him, a [rebuild] option appeared in Zhou Jiangping's field of vision.

And then, it was time to witness a miracle.

A figure made up of lines appeared in front of Zhou Jiangping, and a time axis appeared below his vision. Zhou Jiangping found that he could control the timeline at will and view the entire process of events related to this investigation element.

Playing it backwards and forwards, Zhou Jiangping felt that the entire timeline was clearly displayed in front of him, as if he had seen the abnormal Android taking the gun from the bookshelf with his own eyes.
