Chapter 119 Hallelujah!

"Good afternoon, dear viewers, welcome to the new game live broadcast brought to you by Lao Dai, "BioShock: Infinite""

As soon as the game was released, Lao Dai decisively started the live broadcast.

As a stand-alone game guide in the video area, Lao Dai has more than 3 million followers on Pili Station.

Because the explanations are gentle and the guides are explained in detail, they often take care of the gaming experience of new players, and provide some game guidance that many experienced players are not willing to waste time on.

She is like a mother who guides the growth of her child in every possible way, so she is affectionately nicknamed Mama Dai by fans.

"Good afternoon, Mom!"

"Hello, Mommy Dai!"

"Wow! Lao Dai actually started a live broadcast? It's rare."

In addition to the regular greetings from water friends, some water friends also discovered blind spots.

"Wait a minute, what's the name of the live game? "Infinite"?? Damn it, isn't this game released in three days?"

One stone stirs up a thousand waves.

Many barrages instantly filled up the empty screen.

"ah??"

"I saw a game that was originally released on December 1st on November 28th? Did I travel through time?"

"Be bold, we have all traveled through time/dog head"

"Gravograph is so strong! Not to mention that the game is great, but it can actually allow the world to travel in time for three days. I have found the reason why Top Player develops games so quickly!/Smile"

"No, I have only seen factories that delayed tickets in the future. How come there are still companies that delayed tickets in the future? The Gravograph game messed with me, the recharge interface messed with me, and now the release date can also mess with me, right?"

"Okay, okay, we said it would be released on December 1st, but it was too early to release it, at least for the time period of 12.1, so I will make another game on BMW and release it on 12.1! Don't be disrespectful!"

"Ready Player One released two games in one go, right! Do you want to suffocate us players to death? Huh?"

"The number one player doesn't raise idlers, I believe they can do it/dog's head is holding flowers in its mouth"

Lao Dai glanced at the lively atmosphere and smiled while downloading the game.

"I believe that everyone should have heard more or less about the quality of the demo of "Infinite" in the past two days. Top Player dared to send it out in advance. Although I don't know what happened, I should still have full confidence. .”

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a barrage of rebuttal.

"Don't, don't, don't, Mom, please stop teasing me first. I've seen too many games with good demos but shoddy main bodies... I'm afraid you'll kill the main body of "Infinite" with just one mouthful..."

"Sparrow food, after all, demos are the most essential snippets in the entire game, and sometimes there are content in demos that are completely missing from the main game. Basically, they are just patched together with the best features sewn in, and the final product is a dog. Baskets are not.”

"Not to mention much, just in terms of picture optimization, the demo is small and can be optimized repeatedly to the best state, but the game will definitely not follow the picture quality of the demo."

"If the "Infinite" demo can score 9.5 points, I will be satisfied if the main body can score 7 points. After all, this is the first time that Ready Player One has tried a 3D masterpiece, right? The requirements are not high, as long as you can understand the shooting aspect. He succeeded."

"Okay." The barrage was not a mess. Lao Dai nodded and looked at the game screen again.

After a while, the game was downloaded.

The buyout price of 135 yuan is not expensive compared to traditional 3D games.

And in the style of Ready Player One, this 135 is the entire price of the game, and there will be no more in-app purchases.

After quick decompression and installation.

Soon, the game "Infinite" covered the entire screen of the computer.

The black curtain appeared, followed by the logo of Ready Player One.

Then, the Oasis LOGO appeared.

Apparently Ready Player One seems to have plans to set up a game branch. This is a GIF animation of a small oasis in the desert. The audience has seen it many times in the previous PVs of various heroes in "League of Legends".

After a brief black screen for two seconds.

A slightly tired female voice sounded in the black screen.

"Are you afraid of God, Booker?"

"No, I'm afraid of you."

A conversation that sounded quite meaningful ended.

The text on the other end emerged immediately.

"The subject's brain will try its best to create some imaginary memory and believe it to be true.

————Obstacles in crossing parallel worlds

——R, Lotus, 1889"

"The general meaning of this passage is quite easy to understand." Lao Dai's old habit of giving detailed explanations emerged. He was worried that some new viewers would not understand, so he simply said.

"I wonder if you guys sometimes fall asleep. When you wake up, you forget what time it was before going to bed, how long you slept for, or even what you did before going to bed. At this time, our The brain will automatically make logical behavioral corrections and associations, and will automatically associate some things you may not have done with the current logical explanation for you, filling in the memory gaps during this period."

"What he probably means here is that after traveling through the parallel world, you may forget some things and create similar memories to fill them in."

"After all, it was shown in the demo that Elizabeth had the ability to tear apart parallel time and space with her hands. This sentence was emphasized by the designer at the beginning of the game. It should be a foreshadowing."

Just when Lao Dai Qianqian was guessing, the game had entered the screen.

"1912."

The time pops up in the lower right corner.

What came into view was the bad weather with torrential rain.

In the pouring rain, two middle-aged men and women wearing yellow raincoats were rowing a small boat on the rough sea.

The turbulent sea is in sharp contrast with the small boat, which gives people a sense that human beings are still too small compared with the power of nature.

Fortunately, there is a lighthouse not far ahead, which is emitting a soft light, guiding and reminding passing ships.

It can also be regarded as pointing out the direction for the players, which means that they may have to climb this tower later.

At this time, the protagonist of the game is also on this small boat.

Since the player is in the first-person perspective, everyone can only see the two guys in yellow raincoats rowing the boat arguing.

The content of their argument was bizarre.

It will be mentioned later who should row the boat.

After a while, he asked why he came to such a ghost place.

For a while, it was said that it was because of exercise, and then it was mentioned as a thought experiment.

The whole conversation was bizarre.

And in the process of men and women continuing to quarrel.

The woman turned around and handed an exquisite wooden box to the player.

reads the nameplate on the wooden box.

"This property belongs to Booker DeWitt, 7th Regiment, Battle of Wounded Knee."

The nameplate names the identity of the character controlled by the player, named Booker.

This has actually been shown in the demo.

After the player opens the wooden box.

Inside was a small, square-boxed Mauser.

A few silver coins.

and a black and white photo.

In the photo, a cute and innocent little girl is wearing a big bow and looks to be in her teens. Her name - Elizabeth, is marked on the upper right side of the photo.

Behind the photo, there is a line of text prompts.

"Please bring her back to New Testament unharmed."

While the player is still observing the wooden box.

The boat was already swaying in the wind and rain and docked next to the wooden water platform.

The right to operate is handed over to the player.

Lao Dai also followed the game's guidance and climbed up the platform from the wooden ladder on the side.

Looking back, the man and woman had rowed away, and quarrels were still coming from time to time, as if they were debating whether they could succeed this time.

"It seems that there is no way back for us. We should just climb the tower in front of us." Lao Dai said with a hint of excitement: "To be honest, this is my first time to play a narrative FPS. I don't know. Ready Player One, known for its fine works, what kind of surprises will it bring us this time.”

While he was talking, he had already controlled Booker and walked along the mountain-ring road-like steps into the lighthouse.

Before pushing open the quaint wooden door, there was a note posted next to it.

"Booker, give the girl to us and your debt will be wiped off. This is your last chance."

Less than two minutes into the game, this type of prompt has already appeared twice.

Both mentioned having Booker take the girl somewhere and give it to someone.

"The girl should be referring to Elizabeth. Judging from the clues given so far, our protagonist Booker seems to be a retired veteran who has been rehired, and it seems that he owes a lot of debt. In order to pay off the debt, I had to embark on this rescue? Kidnapping? Anyway, such a journey." Lao Dai said to himself as he opened the door.

After entering the door, what comes into view is a hanging sign.

the sign says.

"I want to cleanse you of your sins"

A basin of clean water was also placed under the sign.

However, when Lao Dai manipulated the character to step forward, he found that he could not interact with the basin of water.

However, one can see the angular face of the male protagonist Booker from the reflection in the water.

He is about thirty or forty years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, tall and straight facial features with a hint of decadence, and a stubble that seems to have been unshaven for a few days.

Turned around a little on the first floor.

A few silver coins and several pistol bullets were collected from the corners.

Then, Lao Dai controlled the character to go up to the second floor of the lighthouse along the rotating building.

When we arrived on the second floor, the scene in front of us seemed a bit strange.

Rather, the scene presented to players from the beginning is very strange.

Unintelligible words, notes that reminded me multiple times, and this mission without explaining the reason.

But a corpse tied to a chair in the middle of the second floor added to the weird and absurd atmosphere.

The man's head was wrapped in a sack and his face could not be seen clearly. He seemed to have been dead for several days, and the flies surrounding him made a disturbing buzzing sound.

There was also a wooden sign hanging on his chest, like a parade on the street, with slightly warning and threatening words written on it.

"Don't let us down"

"It seems that our employer is not a good person. He started to put pressure on the protagonist from the beginning. It implies that if we fail to complete the task, the consequences will probably be the same as this guy." Lao Dai clicked his tongue and walked straight to the third party. building.

The lighthouse is not very high, and you can already stand on the outside when you reach the third floor.

At a glance, you can see the vast sea, with violent winds and rain beating on the sea surface, and huge waves engulfing everything in the distance.

Above the head, dark clouds were also pressing down heavily.

It creates a more depressing viewing atmosphere.

In addition, there is a machine door in front of it.

The three bells in front of the door are printed with images of scrolls, keys, and daggers.

"I remember that there was a similar reminder card in the wooden box that the NPC gave us just now." Lao Dai took it out and looked at it as he spoke.

Sure enough, there were reminders of scroll*1, key*2, and dagger*2 printed on the card.

Follow the prompts and hit the three bells in sequence.

“Buzz!!!”

A sound like an air raid siren resounded throughout the sky!

Accompanied by a shaking tremor on the screen.

Soon, the black low-pressure cloud was suffused with blood-red light.

The blood-red light seemed to be falling from a higher place in the sky, laying down beams of light on the sea level.

Looking around, all directions were shrouded in red light, and the sky and the earth changed color.

The appearance of this scene made Lao Dai couldn't help but lean back.

"Don't tell me, this is quite scary."

"Don't wait until some huge ghost face flies out of the sky... Ghosts are okay, but I have a phobia of giant objects..."

While Lao Dai was talking, the door to the room on the top floor of the lighthouse had been opened.

It was empty except for a modern leather chair.

Players who have no choice but to sit on this chair naturally have no choice but to sit on this chair.

And the moment the player sits on it.

"Crack!"

As if sitting on a tiger chair, the player's hands and feet are firmly locked by the pop-up iron rings.

"Wait...what, what?" a low voice accompanied Booker's struggle in the game.

A mechanical voice sounded in my ears without any emotion.

"Pilgrim, get ready, these things that hold your hands and feet in place are for your safety."

"What pilgrimage? Where are you taking me... No, I'm not ready, let me go!"

The machine ignored Booker's call.

The iron sheets that were laid flat on the ground, which people thought were just decorative patterns on the ground, slowly gathered together like iron lotus flowers at this moment.

Booker was quickly trapped within it.

It looked like he was trapped in a small rocket ship.

The mechanical sound came out again.

"Rising... the countdown to rising begins... five... four... three... two... one..."

boom! !

Accompanied by the roar of rocket ignition.

This strange-looking little rocket was already shaking and trembling, and it broke away from the lighthouse and began to climb into the air at high speed.

Maybe it's extremely fast.

Or the air flow at high altitude is unstable.

The entire screen was shaking violently.

"Climbing... climbing..."

Players can only pass through the transparent glass in front of the rocket and watch themselves being sent high into the sky.

The heavy black clouds that were already under low pressure were getting closer and closer in front of my eyes, accompanied by bursts of blue-purple lightning and thunder.

With Booker's restless roar in the game.

There are also cold mechanical reminders.

At this moment, everything is mixed together.

It gives people a sense of confusion and anxiety.

No one knows what lies above the clouds.

"Five thousand feet...ten thousand feet...fifteen thousand feet..."

Mechanical sounds continue to report altitude.

At this time, the rocket had rushed straight into the dense black clouds. It was almost impossible to see anything through the transparent glass, except for clusters of gray-black clouds that quickly pulled away.

Nervous background music also came out at this moment, the sharp sound of the violin being pulled hurriedly by the fingers tightening the strings.

Almost all inhibitions are brought to the maximum at this moment!

And in the next moment.

The rocket broke through the clouds, and the screen flashed with a dazzling white light.

The sudden appearance of the light caused Lao Dai and all the viewers in the live broadcast room to subconsciously squint their eyes.

The next moment, the sharp violin sound stopped.

The mechanical voice spoke for the last time and whispered.

"Hallelujah."

Lao Dai opened his eyes again, and the complex emotions of shock and shock suddenly climbed up his entire face!

He stared dumbly at the scene in front of him, and all the viewers in the live broadcast room were dumbfounded.

The black clouds are no longer there, the red light is no longer there, and even the lightning and thunder have disappeared without a trace.

In front of them, there was a city in the sky suspended above the blue sky!

The melodious sound of bagpipes echoed in the ears, and the elegant white clouds lingered around the modern urban floating islands, and the fog was thick.

On the clear blue sky, the sun shines through the clouds, casting a soft golden-pink light.

This city in the sky is coated with a layer of honey-like frosting.

Tall buildings are scattered all over the floating islands, and huge exposed steel gears can be seen everywhere, embedded in the buildings, running in an orderly and crisp manner. The floating islands are connected to each other by long bridges as soft as silk ribbons. It combines Victorian style with steam technology to the extreme.

On the Zeppelin steam airships loaded with passengers and cargo, the leather filled with hydrogen gas bags swelled like a rugby ball, drifting slowly and leisurely, spitting out billowing white smoke after the steam worked.

The strange scenes in front of you are intertwined, painting an epic steampunk picture.

It creates an extremely strong impact with the extremely depressing and weird composition before taking off.

Lao Dai's eyes trembled, and his scalp felt numb!

The barrages in the live broadcast room are surging like boiling water!

"Oh my god, what did I see?...This picture is absolutely amazing! It must be heaven!"

"This is so beautiful...like a fairyland on earth..."

"Amazing! The arrival of this moment is really shocking! My heart just trembled with the sound of 'Hallelujah'..."

"Ready Player One comes up and turns it up? It shocked my mother!"

"What kind of magical art department? Oh my god! This strong Victorian retro art atmosphere almost satisfies all my fantasies about steampunk! What does Ready Player One really look like!"

“I heard Ready Player One’s lead artist mention it once before. All the sketches and line drawings for the game seem to be creative ideas provided by Gravograph, and the art department is responsible for processing and improvement. I have to say that Gravograph’s talent is too impressive. Bar……"

"What do you think? Why is Gravure a god?"

"I thought that the demo of "Infinite" was already a big move. In order to attract players, it gathered the best of the entire production team. But now I find out that this guy Gravograph can actually hide things? How could such an amazing scene be included in the demo? , I can’t even imagine how hot searches will explode!”

"Just by excerpting this scene of the City in the Sky, you can already have a try with this year's painting art, right?"

"Ahhh! This is my first time. Just seeing the opening scene, I can't help but want to buy this game! If you don't say anything, I'm going to pay now!!!"
