Brand Master [Comprehensive Yingmei]

Following a certain movie interactive game about artificial intelligence, "Justice League: Abyss" has successfully become popular in the game circle by relying on the cruel plot trend and the unique features that make all players cry for novice tutorials to pass the level.

You must know that there are barriers between the game circles, there is a gap between console games and PC games, and the players of both look down on mobile games. I don't even understand the twists and turns.

At least ordinary people who didn't pay much attention to games before couldn't understand why high-level players in the console game circle would cry and cry and die for a game.

But if this game is equipped with other elements, such as short videos, fan creation, hot search topics, community communication... then it will be different.

That's Vera's job.

Under Vera's secret promotion, there are funny short videos about "Batman's [-] Funny Ways to Die", short comics about "Batman and the Tramp", "True Confessions to Batman Video" and other videos. The second-creation works with great dissemination effects have landed on major platforms one after another, and started all-round operation and publicity.

In the game promotion, she emphasized that many of the plots in "Abyss" were adapted from Chaoying's personal experience, which attracted people all over the world who were already curious about Chaoying and had a good impression of Chaoying.

All of a sudden, it seemed that everyone in the United States knew about such a tormenting console game, and "Abyss" suddenly became popular among young people, as if people who didn't know about "Abyss" left their social circles , attracting young people to start studying the game, striving to become the expert who knows "Abyss" best in the circle of friends.

And as long as you enter the pit and haven't played the game, you will be greeted with the heartbreaking plot killing of the homeless man in the novice tutorial.

Novice players: ...QAQ? ?

The fragile little heart suddenly suffered an unprecedented blow, the game planner, are you an individual? ?

The number of downloads for the internal test of "Abyss" is limited (the mutants of Wayne Entertainment didn't expect this game to become so popular), which led to many players who wanted to enter the pit but suffered from no quotas complaining incessantly. Begging for a spot online.

There is no quota, and the game is too difficult and the plot is too cruel, which led to the popularity of the "Abyss" game live broadcast.

Want to enter the pit but play a lonely/handicapped crowd:

It is impossible to pass the customs, and it is impossible to pass the customs in this life.Let me give up saving the elderly and I can't get over my conscience, so I just watch the live broadcast of the big guys, so that I can maintain my life like this_(:з)∠)_

In the face of the sudden surge in the number of viewers, the high-play anchors in the live broadcast room had mixed feelings.

...Although they really like this game, it is this "Abyss" that completely overturned the game technology they have always been proud of. They were originally technical anchors and became entertainment anchors every minute!

Among them, Gao Wan, who uploaded the first novice strategy method at the beginning——the great player whose ID is Wen Sen is the most frustrated.

Wen Sen is a game enthusiast and also does some game evaluations. He is a well-known master in the circle.

Logically speaking, no matter how difficult the game is in Wen Sen's hands, it is not a particularly big problem, but "Abyss"...he just passed the novice level by dying more than 20 times.

After that, in order to record the novice level video tutorial, Vincent died more than 20 times.

Everyone thinks that Vincent is a master 666, so they are more willing to watch Vincent's "Abyss" live broadcast, but Vincent himself knows best:

He himself has no way to clear this dog game in a short time!

He himself died in various ways during the live broadcast, it was so miserable.

As a result, all the viewers who came to the live broadcast room changed from "learning technology" and "admiring the great god" at the beginning, to watching "entertainment anchor's daily dog ​​leash rollover" and "hahaha".

When most of the high-level players have passed the novice tutorial and turn to the official plot and levels later, everyone will gradually discover:

The difficulty of "The Abyss" is not only reflected in the operation and fighting, but the real torture lies in the plot.

The opening plot kills, causing countless people to cry and regret, and they read the file and go back to save others. This is the case of the homeless.

This plot point alone has provoked the two topics of #维林人，很容# and #维林人，我爱你#, which have been on the hot search for three or four days, and the number of users on the Zhenglian forum has increased sharply again, causing a phenomenon Level out of the circle phenomenon.

Now I look online, and these two topics are still on the hot search. Countless new players or former Zhenglian fans can't help but brush up on this topic every day, and sincerely say to Batman, "I Love you".

"I brush up on this topic every day, post more on the Zhenglian forum, and write fanfiction for one more day, maybe he will see it?"

This is what Susan, who talked about the three meals, said to her friends. She is also handicapped and can't play "Abyss", but it doesn't prevent her from crying and wet the pillow because of the game plot. After crying, the inspiration explodes and writes Batman. Doujin.

Like Susan, even if there is a one-in-a-million possibility, players hope that Batman can see their confession.

Whether it’s middle school or meaningless innocence, these young people may be just ordinary people in reality, but they always have a warm-blooded and gentle heart.

——I am manipulating a superhero, and I am facing the same difficulties and dilemmas as a superhero, why can't I be a hero for a while?

With this in mind, all the warriors like Vincent plunged headlong into "The Abyss" without looking back. As a result, they were defeated in the Batman plot, and their faces were covered in blood.

Because Vera didn't lie, many of the plots in this game were derived from the real dilemmas Batman faced in the year he first appeared, and were formulated after Bruce himself checked and confirmed that his identity and other information would not be revealed.

Because of this, players in this evil neighborhood will face the entire worst period of Gotham:

Every moment, all kinds of crimes are happening in the streets and alleys of this block. After "Batman" receives the news or bumps into it, he has to go to solve it-if he misses or makes a mistake, he will usher in and novice... The same death ending as in the tutorial;

The police and government officials don't trust "Batman". Although they need the military support of "Batman", they are unwilling to hand over some key evidence and information to the player. The player can only investigate by himself;

There are different gangs entrenched in each branch, and the various secret organizations are unclear. If you want to investigate the intelligence and the murderer, you have to deal with the cunning gangsters and use various means to get what you want. Players can Cooperate with gangsters, or attack gangsters, it all depends on your choice.

Crime is ubiquitous, gangs that are more powerful than the government, big and small bosses vying for territory, illegal transactions and smugglers hidden in the underground world, weak police stations that are official institutions but are controlled by gangs...not to mention There are villain killers hiding in the dark, looking for opportunities to assassinate and attack "Batman" all the time.

And the most unbearable thing is that the plot direction in this game is not triggered by the player's personal actions. Its plot is not controlled by the player at all, but gradually progresses according to the game time.

In other words, if players spend too much time on novice levels or other messy things, they will miss the main plot, or even completely miss the previous missions.

Completely follow the reality, completely open world.

The great player Wen Sen collapsed after playing.

In the Chapter 1 plot of Batman in "The Abyss", he spent too much time rescuing the passers-by who were in trouble, and he failed successively in the process of dealing with the gangsters, which caused him not to get enough in the limited time. Intelligence, investigation mission declared failure.

With such a failure, the murderer of the serial murder case escaped smoothly, and a week later, he committed another murder case.

This time, the target chosen by the murderer happened to be the little girl Wen Sen had worked so hard to save on the street before.

——When Vincent was manipulating Batman and was still arguing with the gangsters, trying to find some kind of benefit exchange in exchange for information and evidence, only the cold corpse greeted him.

That blond-haired little girl with a pair of gentle cornflowers, the only little girl who can beat the bad guys in "Batman" and say "Thank you, big brother" to Vincent, was chopped up by the murderer just like that , The body parts were packed in a travel bag and thrown in front of Vincent.

A blood-stained note read:

"Too slow, Batman :)"

The moment he saw the "smiling face" painted with blood, not to mention Wen Sen's collapse, even the audience who had been watching the live broadcast of the game in the live broadcast room also collapsed.

Even if Wen Sen read the file and returned to the previous plot point at the first time, this scene still left an indelible psychological shadow on everyone.

"What kind of hell is this? What kind of hell is this?"

"Honestly, I'm not feeling well at all now. I watched the video again, and I really can't find any way to balance the main line and the side line. I'm about to collapse."

"On the same floor, I watched Vincent play all the way, and I don't know how to solve these crimes at the same time:

First of all, all crimes on the roadside must be dealt with, otherwise the homeless incident will repeat itself;

Secondly, 'Batman' has to investigate the murderer of the serial murderer within a week, otherwise new victims will be produced;

Furthermore, the information and clues are not complete at all. The police do not give us key information, so we can only investigate in person, but in this way, we have to face those difficult gangsters... Fuck! "

"It's too late, it's too late! Vincent has worked hard enough, but he can't save everyone at all-this damn game! If you choose one side, you are doomed to lose the other...Damn it! Everyone is bad!"

"Game official, you come out! Wayne Entertainment, I'm fucking your family! This plot is made by the newspaper, right? Tell me how to play it? Tell me how to save everyone! Tell me, what should Batman do? What can I do to save this damn neighborhood??!"

Vincent shut himself off for a day, and after his live broadcast screen recording was spread, players who were previously encouraged to become "superheroes" who could save the world in the game all shut themselves down and collapsed after seeing it.

"The plot of this game is lore. I'm convinced. Really, who is the master who wrote the script? I'll just ask, and I promise not to kill him."

"Rational discussion: If the plot of this game is adapted from the fundamental real situation... I am really starting to wonder how Batman himself solved this terrible accident in the first place."

"Me before the game: I want to be a superhero! I can!

Me after playing the game: Sorry, I am not worthy. "

After facing such a terrible and complicated game plot, the first reaction of most ordinary people is to ask for a strategy, but after the master of strategy, Vincent, also fell, everyone couldn't help being at a loss.

After experiencing such a terrible hell first-hand, and clearly understanding that they have no way to solve such a complicated case by themselves, they can understand what kind of hell Batman is facing.

"If I were Batman, I would have quit long ago in the face of this kind of situation."

Afterwards, Wen Sen, who finally regained his strength, restarted the live broadcast and said with a wry smile before reloading the challenge.

"It's so hard, it's really hard. I've never been played by an NPC in a game like this. Do you understand this feeling? Being in it, facing such an infuriating world, even a game I felt like I was dying, like someone had just grabbed my heart and ripped it in half."

"I don't know how Batman himself managed to solve all the problems without a strategy. Anyway, I really can't do it. Apart from anger and powerlessness, I can't think of any solution."

As he spoke, Vincent scratched his hair, took a sip of Coke, pushed the soda can forward in a gesture of clinking glasses, sighed at the camera, and said sincerely:

"To you, Batman."

"My highest respect to the superheroes."

#Respect, Batman#

This topic was started by Wen Sen, and it caused a new round of hot searches.

This time, along with this topic, is the sudden popularity of the stalk of "I'm really not good at it".

This meme comes from a short video. In the video, the author put together a contrast between the Batman in the game CG and the Batman in the player's hands.

Batman in CG: The real Batman easily defeats everyone, suppresses all gangsters, finds out key information in two or three strokes, finds the murderer within three days, and saves everyone in the criminal neighborhood.

The Batman in the player's hands: easily surrounded and beaten by everyone, suppressed by all gangs, unable to find out key information, 30 days have not found the murderer, and cast aside by everyone in the criminal neighborhood.

After the comparison, the author of the video felt that the knife in the player's heart was not deep enough, so he simply posted Vincent's sigh: "Don't think superheroes are easy, you really can't do it."

This video became popular as soon as it came out, and everyone endured the idea of ​​vomiting blood while claiming it under the video:

"Yes, I'm really not good at it."

"Although... okay, I'm really not good at it."

"Thousands of words in one sentence: Batman is awesome! [Send me a beer]"

However, some people disagree with this.

I don’t know whether to be lucky or to be speechless. Batman’s largest group of poisonous fandom is entrenched (in Vera language)——Arkham Asylum, which is still being disconnected from the Internet by Batman. They don’t know that there is still this game.

Those who object to "I can't do it" are mainly some gangsters in Gotham and some talented criminals who are really hiding in the dark.

In addition, even Vera didn't expect that it would be Kid Jason who would scoff at those rainbow fart comments on the Internet that boast about Batman.

After Christmas, because she was too busy at work, and because Jason had basically gotten along with Green Lantern and Superman (the relationship with Batman was still bad), Vera simply brought the child to the Zhenglian base for her convenience. Make time to teach the class.

Because Jason has always adopted open education, Vera will only set some goals for his daily study, instead of rigidly stipulating his class time-she sets the goal, how Jason plans to accomplish it, and how much it will cost Time to complete that is his own business.

In this way, during the time Jason stayed in the Zhenglian base, he actually had a lot of free time to rest and entertain. The adults had no time to care about him. Superman and Green Lantern were usually busy, so he often played by himself. games or something.

Then, he soon became obsessed with The Abyss.

The second day of Vincent's autism happened to be the weekend. The members of the Justice League had a regular meeting, and kid Jason was sitting alone in the lobby playing "The Abyss".

When the adults finished the meeting and came out of the meeting room, they happened to see the seven-year-old kid Jason calmly manipulating Batman to push the serial murderer to the ground and explode with a hammer.

——He actually surpassed all the high-level players, found out the murderer of the serial murder case first, and completed the first hurdle of Batman's plot!

Seeing this scene, the superheroes who were well aware of the plot and difficulty of the game looked at each other. Clark and Hal first looked at Vera in surprise, and asked with their eyes: "Are you giving Jason the game in advance?" Is it clear?"

After being denied by Vera shaking her head, several adults looked at little Jason with complicated eyes:

A seven-year-old child surpassed many adults in logical reasoning and game skills... I really don't know how badly those players will be hit after this scene is exposed.

Shazam let out a long "wow", and came to Jason's side familiarly, squatted down, and asked curiously:

"This is really incredible! How did you collect relevant clues through those gangsters to find the murderer?"

As a game enthusiast, Shazam himself has cleared "The Abyss", and it is precisely because he has cleared the level that he is even more surprised: what method did Jason use to find the clues within a week's time limit.

"How many gangsters did you beat up? Did you find any quest items?"

Shazam himself got the key clue by manipulating Batman to beat all the gangsters with interests to the ground. He wanted to know how Jason did it.

Ignoring Shazam, Jason manipulated "Batman" to knock the murderer out completely, and made up the knife. After confirming that the task was completed, he paused the game and asked with a strange face:

"Do you need to deal with gangsters during the game?"

Shazam: "..."

Hal, Barry and others who also struggled with gangsters to get clues: "..."

"But, but your source of clues—"

"Clues and evidence?"

Jason was even more baffled. He pointed at the screen, "Isn't there a ready-made one in the police station?"

"The police didn't give it!"

According to the plot, everyone in the police station is wary of Batman, even if they have any key clues, they are not willing to give Batman, which forces Batman to go to the gang.

Jason, decisively: "Then beat them until they hand over the clues."

Audience: "........."

Even though they had known about the openness and lower limit of the game "Abyss" for a long time, everyone couldn't help but be shocked when they heard that Jason successfully passed the level by beating the police NPC.

Is this how the game is played? ?

Don't have to deal with gangsters, don't have to do those annoying and time-wasting profit exchange tasks... just beat the police? ? ?

In this regard, Bruce himself, who has been silent all the time, said: ...it is really possible to do this.

When he first became Batman, the Gotham Police Department was full of fish and dragons. Many police officers had their own agendas and were deeply involved with gangsters. They were said to be policemen, but they were actually fans of several big families.

Therefore, he had indeed obtained a lot of information from the police by means of intimidation, intimidation, and clichés—of course, it was not as extreme as Jason's direct action.

Jason was still confident, completely unaware that he had come up with a strategy that many players could not ask for, and also created a unique gameplay.

"Why should I care about the decency of some hero?"

The child said grimly, "Courtesy, fame, dignity—it means nothing if the murderer cannot be found."

Most players, when playing Batman, have to abide by some default rules of superheroes: such as not embarrassing the police, such as treating nominally good people and meeting any requirements of the other party.

But Jason was different.

When he played this game, he would beat up the uncooperative policemen, and he would yell at the "good guy NPCs" who insisted on messing around and provoking them even though they knew the danger after repeated admonishment, and sent them back. go home.

The murderer is about to run away, why do you care what the police think of you?

Knowing the danger and still running around to cause trouble for "Batman", who else would you scold?

Jason tsk-tsk sarcastically: "As long as there is life, is it important to use what method?"

As a child born in Gotham, he has accumulated rich experience in that world, and it is precisely because he has dealt with those dirty adults too much that he knows how to deal with them. guy.

The child cleared the first big level with ease, and was speechless to the crying, conflicting confusion of the group of high-players and cloud players on the Internet:

"Is there any difficulty in this?"

He opened the second level with disgust, and commented harshly:

"It's just a small scene like this, I can do it, wait for me to grow up - what are you looking at me for?"

Audience: "........."

Several superheroes looked at Jason silently, turned their heads in unison, and looked at Vera with a calm expression. Finally, they stared at Batman with complicated eyes at the same time.

... Besides Bruce himself, Jason seems to be the only player who can solve this complicated case in such a short period of time, right? (Non-human hand speed such as Shazam and Hal does not count)

Moreover, the method he used actually coincides with the Batman back then?

Stared at by a group of colleagues like this, Bruce, who stood at the end, took a deep breath. He passed the crowd and walked towards Jason with a low voice:

"When you grow up?"

The tall and strong man stood in front of the child like a big mountain, shrouded in the shadow of this black mountain, and Jason, who was still facing the man with a cold and probing gaze, was not afraid at all, and even smiled provocatively:

"I can do better than you, Batman."

Really. Just shake your face.

Jason was obviously still upset with Batman (caused by his previous homework), he held his grudges and said:

"In a rotten place like Gotham, it's useless to fight criminals alone-this city will become the capital of crime, isn't it because of the problem with the layout of production at the beginning of the city's birth? "

With the development of the times, the original steel industry and fishery declined, new industries failed to develop, resulting in massive unemployment, the economic downturn was followed by education decline, coupled with the weak governments of generations, it took decades to become the current bad situation. appearance.

Everyone who heard Jason throw out this sentence casually: "..."

Is this something a six-year-old can say?Is this a question a six-year-old can think of? ?

They looked at Vera in unison, with astonished and complicated expressions:

Vera, what have you taught this child! ? ?

"so?"

Bruce narrowed his eyes and asked calmly, "What if it was you?"

Jason, as a matter of course: "If it were me, I would change the economic layout of Gotham while fighting criminals."

"..."

Bruce glanced back at Vera.

Having received an open education, during the year that Vera took her, the child raised his horizons, and the world was completely different.

After a whole year of Vera's exclusive courses, Jason didn't learn anything else, but he got a great improvement in history education game courses such as "Civilization VI".

Jason was already smart enough. Under Vera's continuous nurturing and subtle influence, he set aside his previous narrow perspective to look at Gotham again, and actually gained something new.

Children think very comprehensively:

Change the economic layout, open up new industries, increase employment, expand education, provide funding in the political circle...while maintaining these and continue to fight criminals, you will be able to see a new Gotham in decades.

In the middle of speaking, seeing Batman actually looking back at Vera in front of him, Jason pursed his lips slightly, and his milky voice became deep:

"So, to save that rotten Gotham, the first thing to do—is to buy Wayne Enterprises."

Batman: "..."

Everyone: "…………"

How could a six-year-old child think of such an economic plan?

This time, it wasn't just Bruce who looked at Vera, but all the students couldn't help looking at Vera, their eyes full of bewilderment.

...Vera, how on earth do you take care of your children?

Faced with the beaded eyes of all the beasts, Vera blinked innocently. She walked past Batman as if nothing had happened, hugged Jason, kissed the child's forehead with a smile, and echoed:

"Okay, we'll buy Wayne Enterprises when you grow up!"

This firm tone, this affirmative attitude of commitment.

Bruce: .

People: .

She is serious!

She really wants to buy Wayne Enterprises!
