Rebirth of the big era of online games

Chapter 418 There must be gains and losses?
The fact that he died within three seconds of entering the game wasn't because Mr. Bei was deliberately putting on a show for the sake of the show.

It was a real surprise.

Therefore, it also makes this matter more dramatic and comic.

However, the effect of this kind of program is not what Bell wants, because it is too heart-wrenching.

And even though he had obtained three accounts and had three opportunities to challenge, strictly speaking, his survival challenge had already failed.

After all, the account is controlled by him himself, and he has put on such a big fight.

Anyway, three seconds to fail...

This is simply a huge joke.

And because Mr. Pei was too confident, he chose to do the show live, so this joke became a joke all over the world, and everyone knew it.

What the hell, you are a survival expert, and you are surrounded by a circle of experts, and you are not as good as other ordinary players. Isn't this a joke?
It is estimated that even if your system randomly selects the place of birth, it will not make such a joke.

What is the point? Mr. Pei and this group of experts have not yet been able to refute and reason. They cannot blame Fangzhou International, nor can they accuse Fangzhou International of cheating on this matter.

It is true that their "scientific analysis" is in place, it is the best choice, and the environment of the place of birth is indeed very suitable for human survival, but the algorithm logic given by Ark World is also very scientific and more reasonable.

They forget one thing: On the primitive earth, other animals are the masters of the earth, and humans may only be temporarily in the middle and lower reaches of the entire food chain, or it can be said that humans rely on wisdom to defeat other species, and the so-called force is actually wisdom extension.

And before human beings had time to transform their wisdom into force, just like other animals, when they all fell in love with a feng shui treasure land with pleasant scenery and suitable for survival, the result can be imagined.

If wild animals could speak, they would slap humans on the head, point to their noses and taunt: Idiot, is this the place you can come to?Get away from me, find a corner and stay in a corner, or you will be killed!
Of course, wild animals can't speak, and they don't have such a high IQ. When they encounter a human being intruding, their instinctive reaction is to run and jump in fright, and then accidentally trample the species that frightened them into flesh Now, maybe I will treat it as a gift from God and eat it in my stomach later.

This is a very reasonable deduction. The "Ark" system is deduced in this way and the deduction results are given, leaving Mr. Pei's experts speechless.

Everyone has done thousands of calculations, but they just haven't figured this out.

Biologists, including those who raised objections during the period, also did not expect to encounter such a situation.

He just thought that the biodiversity was not enough and the resources were not rich enough, but he didn't expect that the resources were not enough, but too rich, okay, so rich that humans came here, but they became a vulnerable species.

But he got it right on one point: mountainous areas are indeed safer than plain areas, at least for humans who have just entered the Ark World.

Plains and water-rich areas, not to mention the existence of a large number of wild animals, let me just say one thing: once you encounter dangerous carnivores, on the endless plains, at the running speed of humans, the effect of struggling is probably not as good as that of deer , that should not be regarded as a snack!

If it is a mountainous area, the number of wild animals is relatively small, and the terrain is complex. Humans can also use some terrain to avoid and protect themselves, but it is relatively safer.

These conclusions are the result of discussions between the experienced Bell and a group of experts after experiencing the first failure.

In any case, the show has to continue, otherwise the show will not be able to meet the duration, wouldn't it be a show accident?

He is also planning to do a live broadcast for 6 days non-stop, but he didn't expect to only do it for three seconds...

At this moment, Bell finally understood one thing: No wonder Fangzhou International gave him three chances to challenge in the name of "no more than three things". As a result, the publicity expectations were not met...

Look, isn't it fulfilled now?
How stupid is it, after a group of experts have talked about it, it will hang in three seconds after entering the game?

After realizing the seriousness of the problem, Bell didn't dare to be arrogant anymore. In order to delay the show, he didn't immediately log in to the second game account. Instead, he discussed with the guests for a long time, and he made up for himself by the way, so as not to be slapped in the face It hurts too much to bear.

"Sorry, we were careless this time..."

"No, I don't think I should apologize, I'm more inclined to be unlucky, actually..."

"Well, anyway, I didn't fail completely, I still have a chance..."

"Simon, you didn't enter the game? Great! You wait a moment, we have to add up the coordinates of the place of birth."

At this time, the only biologist who raised objections before this time was talking loudly: "I am still strongly opposed to the plains, no matter where the plains are. I think the most reasonable choice is the Pennines, which will certainly not be like the plains." There are so many wild species in groups, at least when they land, there will be no such ironic results just now."

"Moreover, if you want to build camps and various tools, wood resources are a must, and there are few trees in the plains, and it is even difficult to find a branch to drill wood for fire. But in the mountains, this is obviously an easy task things that can be done.”

But this time everyone has learned to be smart, and will never make a decision easily because of one person's one-sided opinion. Warren put forward his own opinion: "What you said has some truth, but although the density of wild animals in the forest is small, However, there are many mosquito poisons, so the danger may not be much lower than that in the plains!"

This……

Rice and a group of experts who supported him were speechless immediately, not knowing how to refute. What they said was indeed very reasonable, and mountainous areas may not be a suitable birthplace, and even more dangerous.

"I have a good suggestion."

Just when everyone was at a loss, someone in the audience made a bold suggestion: "Why not choose Yorkshire? I don't know anything about geography or biology. I only know that Yorkshire is the birthplace of us British people in history. , with a history of more than 2000 years, His Majesty George VI once proudly said: The history of York is the history of England! Since our ancestors chose to settle and multiply here, there must be a reason for their existence!"

Some audience members couldn't help exclaiming: "OMG! "God's County"!" "

Some people proudly popularized science: "Didn't the name of the city of New York come from our Yorkshire?"

A word to wake up the dreamer!

Warren couldn't help but slapped his thigh and said, "Yes, yes, yes, "God's County"!"Why didn't I think of it!Yorkshire is located in the east-central part of the Isle of England. Its east is a plain bordering the ocean. The coastal plain forms a coastal marshland, and a narrow corridor is formed between the marshland and the Pennines, the York Valley Corridor, and the corridor To the west is the plateau. "

Speaking of this, Warren straightened his back, looked around the crowd and said: "Yorkshire includes mountains, hills, valleys, plains, swamps, oceans and other complex terrains. We can consider choosing the York Valley as our foothold. Here Backed by the Pennines and the plateau, there is a swampy plain in front, not only rich in species, but also not too dense, and there are many limestone caves washed out by underground rivers in the valley, which can be used as residences with a little modification."

Bell nodded again and again, his eyes were red, and he choked up and sighed: "I'm afraid this is the reason why our ancestors were able to reproduce and survive here?"

Well, regardless of whether Mr. Pei was really moved or just put on a show, the most important thing now is to quickly divert the attention of the audience. The meme of being slapped in the face in three seconds is too painful. The only way to turn the situation around now is It may be this kind of patriotic education that goes back to the source.

In fact, Bell was too worried.

The audience actually didn't make trouble as much as he imagined, but they started to sympathize with him.

They did sympathize with Fang Zhou International at the beginning, but when they found that the facts were completely unexpected and appeared in a very funny or even absurd result, everyone burst into laughter at first, but felt that something was wrong when they laughed.

It turned out that there was nothing wrong with Master Pei's previous actions, not to mention making a fuss out of a molehill, and even looking at it now, it seemed a little underestimating the enemy.

It can only be said that this Ark World is really perverted!
But it is undeniable that there is no problem with the mechanism and logic algorithm of Ark World. The result of the matter is both unexpected and reasonable, and there is no fault.

Since there is nothing wrong with it, if you continue to laugh at it, wouldn't it be the same as laughing at yourself?

Because if you go up by yourself, you may not be better than Mr. Pei, at most, you are luckier than the other party!
The game not only insulted the IQ of Bell and a group of experts on stage, but also insulted the IQ of the audience, and let the audience finally understand how the three "human extinction events" came about.

This makes people uncomfortable!
So now the audience is actually more of a substitute for Bell's role, and has a feeling of common hatred and hatred. They are thinking about how to solve the current difficulties they encounter, rather than laughing at each other.

The proposal to choose Yorkshire as the place of birth just now was not contributed by the audience, otherwise everyone should be gloating and watching the joke now.

At this time, Bell is finalizing opinions to all experts: "Then choose a certain river valley in Yorkshire as the place of birth? Are you sure there is no problem?"

Regarding such a question, everyone's eyes flickered, and they hesitated to speak, and no one dared to guarantee it again.

In the end, Warren, a geography expert, took up his due responsibilities, and he said uncertainly: "In fact, the valley area, especially near the water source, is also a place where wild animals gather... I suggest that the specific location can be located in the "deep valley" and then go further. A little to the west, in the direction of the "Yorkshire Dales". "

The Yorkshire Dales, said to be a valley, is actually a highland in West Yorkshire. It is currently one of the British national parks. The east of it is the river valley, but there is a problem...

Immediately, Warren was worried about gains and losses again: "However, if you want to go down from the Yorkshire Dales to the east into the deep valley, the terrain is very steep, and there are only a few places where you can go down, which may not be conducive to the expansion of the scope of activities."

"I don't think that's a problem."

Bell waved his hand and said, "The bet is that I only need to survive in it for 1 year. According to what we have seen just now, the natural resources of the primitive earth are extremely rich. Maybe during this 1 year, I will only spend 1 or 2 years in the surrounding area. You can be self-sufficient and have enough food and clothing for activities within a kilometer range, and you don’t need to go down to the valley.”

Warren is still hesitant: "But if you don't go down to the bottom of the valley, it's hard to find a habitable cave."

Bell smiled slightly: "Don't forget that I am a master of survival. Even if I don't live in a cave, with the temperature of Yorkshire's four seasons, I can survive even if I build a shack outside. At least I can't freeze to death. It's nothing more than a poor quality of life." That's all."

Warren shrugged, and said in advance: "Well, this is your decision."

"Of course!"

Bell snapped his fingers, then turned to the camera lens and the audience: "Guys, we have decided on a new foothold - the Yorkshire Dales! Let's start again!"

After finishing speaking, he explained to Simon who was going to accompany him into the Ark World: "Give me your account number, and you don't want to go in this time. In case of any accident, we still have a chance to come back."

The original plan was that he and Simon would enter the game together to keep warm, leaving one account as a backup, but now there are only "two lives" left, and all eggs can't still be in one basket, so Simon had no choice but to remind lost the opportunity of this closed beta and became purely a spectator.

Of course, Simon was very upset about this, but there was nothing he could do. Mr. Pei was the boss, so he could only secretly decide that next time in the Arkworld internal test, he would apply for internal test qualifications from Fangzhou International and experience it for himself.

The second challenge begins.

Log in to the game, skip the opening animation, and enter the coordinates of the Yorkshire Dales.

This time, the coordinates did not choose any municipal center, but the national park hotel in this area in reality was used as a coordinate reference, and the birthplace was selected within 1 kilometer near this coordinate.

The moment they officially entered the game screen, everyone held their breath and concentrated, fearing that there would be another accident.

Fortunately, it didn't this time, it landed safely, at least it didn't get killed in seconds.

But there is also a problem: it is already late at night in the game. In the game interface, except for the circle representing the character, you can only see the scene within five steps nearby, and it also has a blur filter. The only area that can be seen clearly is only three blocks around distance.

But this is not a fatal problem, just stand still and be in a daze, and it also happens to give Bell the time to explain the show.

"Ah, thank God, safe!"

After being stunned for a few seconds and finding that the characters in the game were safe and sound, Bell breathed a sigh of relief, and then explained to the audience: "This game simulates the real world, so everyone has seen it. There is day and night in it. But due to the time It is 60 times the flow rate, so in fact, we wait for 10-12 minutes at most, which is 10-12 hours in the game, before we can see the surrounding scene clearly.”

As he said that, he also took out a booklet from the drawer and showed it to everyone: "This is "Ark World Instructions", which explains the basic rules and basic operations in Ark World. All beta players can get a This booklet, while it is night, we have some time, I will give the audience a general introduction to the game interface..."

Having said that, he turned his attention to the young computer expert sitting in the field: "Davis, you are a good gamer, so I'll leave this to you."

This kind of exhausting and boring work is of course done by the Science Support Group.

"Ok."

Davis is a man with bamboo poles and glasses. He is a typical otaku. After getting up and sitting next to Bell, he began to give instructions on the computer screen while explaining the basic functions of the game interface.

"Let me briefly introduce the game interface..."

"The circle in the middle represents the character of the player, but in fact he is a circle composed of a big circle and three circles around it."

"The big circle inside is divided into left and right halves in addition to the character's avatar sticker. The blue on the left represents the physical strength value. The physical strength value determines your upper limit of mobility and how much work you can do. You need to rest or sleep to recover. Of course, Other attributes will also affect the consumption and recovery of stamina, which will be introduced in detail later.”

"The red one on the right is the life value. Anyone who has played the game must know it, so I won't explain it much."

"The innermost ring of the three rings is green, which represents your health status; the light blue ring in the middle is the drinking water value; the outermost yellow ring is the satiety..."

"In short, through this circle, you can actually know all the status of your characters at any time. So don't look at the interface of this game as if it is very simple, it is actually simple, but not simple."

"In the lower left corner of the game interface, there is a small map...Of course, it's pitch black now. This is the fog of war, and players need to explore it to display it."

"If you click on this small map, the area map interface will appear... It is also black at present, but it needs to be explained that each small square in this area map is a small map where I am now, representing a 100*100 1 square meters in area."

"That's why the production cost of the game map alone cost a full 1.5 million US dollars. From the map alone, this is indeed a large-scale production game."

"In addition to moving on the small map, you can also move directly on the regional map, and you can cover a distance of 10 kilometer in 1 seconds. But it is recommended that you don't do this, because within 1 kilometer, you don't I know what kind of danger I will encounter..."

Having said that, David paused, and not only glanced at Mr. Pei: "Because even if you stand still, you may be in danger..."

This remark caused laughter on the field. Didn't Master Pei just fall off the ground just now?
But there is obviously another meaning here: Davis, a dignified computer expert, was caught by Mr. Pei as a game commentator, so he also took this opportunity to mention which pot was not opened. It was a small revenge to sprinkle a handful of salt on the wound.

After the episode, Davis continued to explain: "On the regional map, there is an intercontinental map, and on top of the intercontinental map, there is a world map. Of course, except for the ocean, the continents and continental shelf areas are also black."

"I believe everyone has noticed that the coordinates of all proven mineral resource origins in the real world are marked on these large maps of different levels. After the human civilization in the world of Ark is established in the future, these are important strategies for you to separate one side Materials, but I believe that everyone can't take care of these for the time being..."

"Let's close the map interface and return to the game... There is a gear button in the lower right corner of the screen, and the outer circle is the basic system function. Functions such as item bar, character attributes, skills, and achievements are all here. The middle gear button contains more functions. Menu functions for multiple subsystems, such as the construction system, technology tree, etc.”

"Below is the shortcut key button, where you can place shortcut keys for various functions..."

"In the upper right corner of the game, there are various natural weather prompts. You can see that it is now a moon icon, indicating that it is night, and it is sunny. The season is spring. The column of temperature and humidity... has not been displayed for the time being. This needs to meet the corresponding technological conditions and The corresponding equipment, such as a thermometer, will be displayed, and now it can only be roughly guessed and judged based on some information in the game world."

"These functions, including all skills, technology, and buildings are all black now, and they are temporarily unavailable..."

"To use these skills, you must first light up the corresponding technology tree with "technology points", and the only way to obtain technology points is to automatically increase the time. "

"Now there are more than 200 technology points! Yes, it is the number icon in the middle of the top of the game interface, which increases by 1 point every second. In the future, with the improvement of various skill levels or technology levels, you can gain skill point growth rate Bonus, how this is converted, I am not very clear now."

"Game interfaces are basically those situations."

"Finally, I would like to remind all viewers that the world of Ark seems to be very simple, and the picture is not very exquisite, but it is actually a world that looks crude but has a rich core and content. What you have seen so far and the previous three rounds The content involved in the closed beta may be less than one percent of the game."

"So, don't be fooled by the appearance of Ark World, it is actually a world worth exploring, and don't take it lightly, mistakenly thinking that surviving in this world is easy, otherwise you may not survive for three seconds ..."

Hahahahaha...

Davis didn't forget to sprinkle another pinch of salt in the end, causing the audience to burst into laughter.

It seems that Mr. Pei's "can't live for three seconds" stalk can't be passed.

"OK! OK!"

Seeing that the audience couldn't stop laughing for a long time, Bell had no choice but to surrender and admit defeat, but found that the audience still didn't buy it, and suddenly grabbed Davis who was about to leave in frustration, and propped his upper body on the table Go up, pretending to be beaten violently.

Since this stalk can't be passed, Mr. Pei had no choice but to use it as the effect of the show. So far, the effect is not bad, so this can be regarded as gaining and losing...

Soon, almost 10 minutes passed, and the daytime of the game world arrived.

The screen gradually brightened, and the game's line of sight gradually became clearer. The five-meter range that could only be seen clearly gradually expanded outward.

At this time, Bell took over the control of the account again, and while sliding the mouse wheel, he explained in a very relaxed tone: "It's time for daytime, and now we have a vision, so the first thing we do next is also the most important thing." The most important thing is to find a nearby water source, because water is the source of life... Let's zoom out the game screen and look around..."

Reduce the game screen ratio, and finally you can zoom out to see all the scenes within a radius of 100 meters centered on the game character.

As for the scene 100 meters away, it is still faintly visible, but it has been blurred. At the same time, some scenes that are blocked by rocks and trees within the visible range have also been blurred. If you stand in a different perspective, The blur range also changes.

Obviously, although "Ark" is a seemingly minimalist 2D game, a lot of thought has been spent on the details of the real simulation.

But this is not the focus of everyone's concern now.

The point is that when the field of vision continued to expand outwards, and just expanded to a distance of about 20 meters, the audience exclaimed.

Because there are three directions around the character, each with a wolf head circle!
Those are three wild wolves!

And looking at the posture of the iron triangle, the wild wolves seemed to have been waiting for a long time, and formed a siege.

As for why there are no wolves in another direction, it’s not because wild wolves also know the art of war in the country of encircling the Three Ques, but that it’s the east side, and if you walk about 80 meters in that direction, it’s a cliff, so there’s no need to block it.

Needless to say, there should be a "deep-cut river valley" under the cliff. When Bell chose his birthplace, he deliberately moved a little from the "deep-cut river valley" to the west highland, but now it has become his cliff.

Wolves are a kind of intelligent species. Facing strange creatures like human beings, they don't know what is real or not. Although they form a group, they don't take the initiative to attack immediately, but adopt a strategy of not moving the enemy.

This is also the reason why Bell was lucky not to be attacked at night, otherwise it is very likely that he would not survive for three seconds like the previous time.

But now that it was day time, Mr. Bei still didn't dare to move, he stared blankly at the three wolves on the computer screen in a daze.

How to do?
Not only Bell, but all the experts and audiences, including those watching the live broadcast, were asking this question in their hearts.

What else can I do?
run!

After being stunned, Bell quickly thought about and weighed his current situation, gritted his teeth, frantically clicked the right mouse button, and controlled the character to run towards the east cliff in a daze...
