doomsday beta

"叮咚" sounded the prompt sound, and saw the welcome words written on the screens in different towers, and the handwriting faded away...

... Various pictures popped up:

In the post-war central city of the faction, there are wreckage and ruins of collapsed buildings, the smoke and dust have dispersed, and there are many dead bodies.

Blood flowed on the ground and splashed on the wall pillars. Those NPCs who either wore character images, or maintained human shapes, or wore masks, could not be resurrected, like damaged rag dolls one by one, under the influence of some unknown force. Harvested, gradually spilled into the air, leaving no trace...

Those low-level NPCs who couldn't leave the village and town level map, at the moment when the camp announced their defeat, were like petrified statues. blinding light...

The players who were originally happy about the victory felt like they were stung by something.

["Noah's Ark" Documentary Issue 1005]

——A few words are like the title of a movie, suddenly appearing, and then disappearing again.

The screen began to look back on what happened in the past year or so, flashing by in a hurry.

From the launch of the game amidst doubts, to the shock of the immersive holographic immersion to the players, they thought it was a carnival of technology crossing the ages, but unexpectedly it was the unknown god of death holding up the scythe...

The first time humans became aware of the game's fangs was at the Valentine's Day event.

Li Jian's father saw his dead wife who drowned in the water and couldn't be saved anyway in the group portraits, and his son who collapsed and called the police after landing... Feeling sorry for him, his eyes searched among thousands of people, Only then did I see the son who didn't intend to forgive in this life look back, his eyes were also red.After a long time, things changed and people changed. Thinking of the rest of his life after suffering for his father in the Jinshan flood, we looked at each other with tears and choked speechlessly.

The first time the country realized the coming of a catastrophe was "The Sinking of Japan". The surviving Japanese players saw the entire island country being ruthlessly submerged for the first time, and their grief was unspeakable.

The flow of the screen, the delivery of every expansion piece, and the loss of every life all caused sobs in the player seats.

Originally buried with time, driven by the rhythm of the game, there is no time to look back on the old scars that were unintentionally pondered, and they were dug up again.

Naked presentation.

The joy of victory gradually faded away.

A sad and depressing atmosphere arises spontaneously...

"why?"

Many players can't figure it out, "Why?"

"What did we do wrong to suffer these crimes for nothing?"

Originally, I just wanted to live an ordinary life. Parents gossip, laugh and scold all day long, and be a good social person. Why in a short period of time, all life trajectories, social systems, and small families and big countries were disrupted, collapsed, and destroyed by inexplicable games... …

The hatred buried deep in my heart finally overwhelmed the fear. Questions, anger, and curses about the game in different languages ​​echoed in the towers...

【Remorse? 】

【Sad? 】

[Want to change? 】

The game has a complete insight into the emotions of the players and is precise.

The picture turns back like a rewind, and in the pictures of death accidents, there are souls invisible to the naked eye emerging one by one, captured, extracted, and collected by unknown forces in the dying trace.

They are ignorant and vaguely gathered together.

[As long as you win the final victory of this season of "Noah's Ark", you can unblock the reincarnation pool on the second floor and let the souls that have died return to reality! 】

"So, this is the irreconcilable contradiction between the NPC and the player."

Every group of players wants to revive their relatives and friends.

They can only win, not lose.

On the first floor of the tower, Jiang Cheng was sitting next to the ark, and there were many leaders of the national uniform in this row, all of them were in high spirits.

Ark didn't know how the seats were arranged until the front screen began to reward meritorious service, and the game progress contribution points translated into various languages ​​appeared in each tower.

Half of the top [-] players have background nationalities with five-star red flags, and the data is almost broken.

The world channel is full of heated discussions:

"Why is China so powerful?"

until--

[Little Noah]: "Now we will start assigning the NPC positions of the new "Noah's Ark"..."

"Fuck? What's the situation? Aren't we the only ones who can turn over NPCs? What does it mean?"

"Why did you jump from the season to the assigned position? Can you tell me what season this season is?"

"What position? Can someone explain the current situation first?"

"Is this switching from player faction to NPC?"

"Look at the World Channel, the official report of the situation."

The Chinese channel responded the fastest, and quickly clarified the situation. Players also began to popularize science with foreign server players who had question marks on their foreheads.

"That is to say, those of us so-called winners will play the role of NPC in the new game, defeat the players in the next game, and keep winning until the end of the season? There are 1005 episodes, and the length of this 'season' is too long. It's scary...it sounds like a wheel battle!"

No matter how uproarious, noisy, and howling the players below were, the ruthless little Noah just started assigning positions in his own way amidst the noisy discussions.

[Position]: Chief Game Planner

[Function]: NPC highest authority

【Belonging】: Ark

"This name looks familiar..."

"Isn't this the chief decision maker who refused to appear during the cross-server battle?"

"So, the player is actually the decision maker of the banker's kill? How did the player lurk into the NPC camp? At that time, the camp hadn't been opened yet, and the ruthless NPC didn't even bother to recruit players, let alone grant such high authority?"

——It was only then that foreign high-level executives vaguely realized that the secret weapon that always takes the lead in China may not be as wild or conspiratorial as they originally guessed, but simply, the game opened the door for a certain player?

F**k! ! !

You are all victims of game oppression, why are you so unusual? !Is there anything more bizarre than going through the back door of a game?

These foreign high-level officials simply feel that they have taken drugs to come to such absurd conclusions!

[Little Noah]: "Please choose the game map for Noah's Ark Issue 1006, the chief planner of the game."

On the screen, four layers of maps appeared from small to large.

Various elementary, intermediate, and advanced maps adapted from various children's, teenagers, and adult books at home and abroad.

These maps, which are modeled on the real world and framed by reading materials, will eventually merge into the ultimate map like the ancient continent.

Fang Zhou didn't want to show off, and when the screen turned into a close-up prompt, he took out the mask in the package space and put it on, handing over all sovereignty to the senior leaders, acting as a mouthpiece without thinking.

Next, I chose the map zoom ratio, time flow rate and other settings...

Players who have watched all the progress gradually understand that any choice they make at the moment determines the difficulty of the game for the new batch of players.

When the modeling process of the world outside the tower was broadcast live on the screen, the players below suggested very actively:

"The map needs to be large. For those who run on foot and break their legs, it is best to be in proportion to reality. The distance between the teleportation stones should be longer. Or can there be only one map per floor?"

"The time flow rate is 1:1, compressing the online time of the player can limit the development!"

"The reincarnation cycle of the sun and the moon... Why does the moon have the bonus of replenishing blood and repairing it? Or just 1 hour at night and 23 hours during the day, and the bonus of the four seasons is also cancelled, don't let them waste supplies!"

Because of the complaints and panic that erupted from the players before, in order to mobilize everyone's enthusiasm and increase their sense of belonging, so as to maintain a positive attitude in the endless schedule that is exhausting to deal with, the leaders are now open to vote and create a new game world according to public opinion. A player's participation.

This sense of accomplishment in opening up the world also restored the atmosphere in the tower for a while.

The game is divided into categories, large and small, to build an overall framework.

Next, the leadership team of senior NPCs will be formed, and the village chiefs, town chiefs, and city lords of each level of maps will be assigned.

Due to the existence of "plug-in" Ark, China is far ahead in terms of contribution value, national strength, and average player level. It also occupies an absolute right to speak in the NPC team and serves as the command center of the new game world.

Sitting in charge of the game's chief planner and city lord, Ark.

The master seal of the city lord in his possession can open the second floor of the basement and keep the reincarnation pool where the undead are stored.

The city lords of the secondary seal can only open the resurrection pool on the negative floor.

The old leaders arranged for Jiang Cheng to lead a team of domestic and foreign writers, directors, writers, historians, economists, psychologists and other professionals to tailor a set of experience for the 1006 players. In order to create an extremely high-degree game ecological environment, it is necessary to fully demonstrate the attack, destruction, torture, and squeeze of players from the body to the heart.

Then the NPCs in charge at each level assign roles according to the formulated task script and the player's level.

Due to the unprecedented number of players surviving in this issue, the entire mission planning and role assignment took several months.

The waiting process is undoubtedly tormented.

The game is loaded into the new world, and the countdown is 183 days.

Ark masters the monitoring function of the present world, and projects the images on the screen to relieve boredom for those players who spend all day pouring water, bragging, and arguing on the World Channel, and who are trapped in the square-inch seats and do not forget to rehearse and act in advance.

【Welcome everyone to the new world! ! 】

[World number: 1006. 】

【Loading……】

In the screen, you can see that the game has locked onto a blue planet that is exactly the same as the earth. It is like an invisible thread, spreading out spiderweb-like eyes and ears, and wrapping the planet like an atmosphere, airtight and pervasive.

The cobweb grid divides the screen into large and small monitoring screens.

Each grid is full of human beings from different countries, different time differences, different cities, different skin colors, and different occupations. They shuttle through the streets and alleys, high-rise buildings, and endless traffic.

Or prosperity, or backward.

These men, women, children, and billions of human beings who are struggling to live have no idea what is coming.

2030, spring.

A company named Chuangshi Technology was born quietly.

At an unremarkable technology exhibition, a little-known work: the holographic experience cabin, appeared for the first time.

Its immersive and immersive experience really shocked the world. A large number of inexhaustible publicity drafts appeared on the Internet, and the scientific research teams of countless game companies were tossed and turned. gimmick.

Turn off the news, forget about it casually, and continue to return to the life of study, work, daily necessities...

In the tower, the players are about to empty their inventory.

Finally, before the hunger rumbled, all the preliminary work was finished.

At this time, it was already half a year later in autumn. On the Double Ninth Festival on October [-]th, the world's first holographic online game "Noah's Ark" was launched.

"This is a sandbox game full of human nature, which can change and create the world with a high degree of freedom."
