Chapter 166 We are different
After being killed by the old woman, Professor Ding finally began to realize a key issue.
He and Li Wenhao did not see the same world!
Although this thing sounds outrageous, if you think carefully about the two people's previous gaming experience, you will find that there seems to be a trace from the beginning.
For example, Li Wenhao picked up pieces of flesh and blood from the ground without any psychological burden. He also thought that it was normal for the fallen bandits to explode the pieces of flesh and blood. He even stuffed the pieces of flesh and blood into animal carcasses to make them come alive...
Now think about it, Li Wenhao was actually using parts to repair those machines!
No wonder this behavior seems normal to Li Wenhao.
For another example, Lecturer Ding and Li Wenhao both complained about the prop "Looking for Immortals" before.
But the key points expressed by the two people are completely different!
The key point that Professor Ding said is that the appearance of Xianxianlu looks dark and surrounded by black energy. It looks like an evil prop, which does not match the name.
But there is nothing wrong with its name appearing in a fairy world view.
However, Li Wenhao said that it was "incompatible with the world view." Obviously the focus of his complaint was not on the appearance, but on the name itself.
In a science fiction world, a prop with a name like "Search for Immortals" would actually appear, which is indeed a bit inconsistent.
Lecturer Ding said in shock: "Isn't it the world of immortals that you see?"
Li Wenhao was also puzzled: "What is the world of immortals? Isn't it a mechanical world from the beginning?"
Lecturer Ding was even more shocked: "Huh? Then after you entered the game, didn't you realize that the game is different from the promotional video? Don't you find it strange?"
Li Wenhao nodded: "I thought it was a little strange. Didn't I ask why there were so many parts on the roadside? But you didn't say anything. I thought this game was just like this. I was making a fuss, so I didn't ask any more. .
"Is it possible that what you saw were not parts? Then what did you see?"
The barrage also laughed like crazy.
"Hahaha, we were chatting across channels throughout the entire process!"
"Obviously they saw completely different things, but it's outrageous that they ended up chatting together inexplicably."
"What on earth did you see on the other side? I'm so anxious!"
"After the fight, you two should become friends. You don't have any tacit understanding at all!"
In fact, it was a bit of a coincidence that Professor Ding and Li Wenhao were able to produce such a program effect.
Strictly speaking, although the two-player mode of the game "Ascension" is somewhat confusing, it is absolutely impossible to deceive players all the time.
The previous promotional video only showed the world of Xianxia and not the mechanical world. Therefore, if players assigned to the perspective of the mechanical world enter the game, they will probably quickly raise questions.
Even if you haven't seen the promotional video, if the player happens to say keywords such as "screw", "flesh monster", and "Cthulhu", it is likely to arouse the confusion of another player. The two of them only need to check themselves a little. When you see the scene, you can quickly realize the truth.
It was impossible to continue to lie about this kind of thing.
The fact that Professor Ding and Li Wenhao were so late in realizing this can only be said to be a coincidence.
The difficulty of this game is very high, and death will cause another player to bear joint liability, so they are all concentrating on the operation, and they are a little absent-minded when communicating, and many doubts are not noticed.
In addition, the monsters in this game have no names, and the terrain and positions are the same, so the two of them had such a big misunderstanding.
Lecturer Ding became even more curious: "Then what do you see?"
The two briefly checked and realized how outrageous this thing was.
The Li Huanzhen that Professor Ding saw was wearing a bamboo hat, a torn Taoist robe, and holding a rusty iron sword, while the Li Huanzhen that Li Wenhao saw was also wearing a torn robe, but his modified mechanical body was exposed underneath the robe. The long sword in his hand is also made of special alloy material.
Li Huanzhen even has an English name called Vision Lee.
The Immortal Record that Professor Ding saw was made of black bamboo slips and red strings, while the Immortal Record that Li Wenhao saw was made of special alloys and retractable metal wires, and could also activate special holographic projections.
Lecturer Ding’s side is the locust stone, and Li Wenhao’s side is the launcher;
Lecturer Ding’s side is a flesh-and-blood monster, and Li Wenhao’s side is a large robot;
Lecturer Ding’s side is a peripheral member of the Xunxiang Sect, and Li Wenhao’s side is also an organization called the Xunxiang Sect, but it looks more like a cult under the cyber world view, and the things they worship have become mechanical gods.
Other than that, the main names of places and people in the game have not changed, but they have been given some special packaging.
Although the plot framework is still roughly the same, it feels a little strange when you interpret it.
Originally, in the Xianxia plot, it was the villagers who dug up the Black Tai Sui that led to the emergence of monsters and evil spirits, but in the science fiction plot, it turned out to be a new intelligent life form robot AI studied in a laboratory that mutated after being infected by a virus and awakened. Awareness of self.
After being dismantled by the laboratory, the broken parts of the robot were swallowed by the recycling robot, but accidentally caused the infection of the program virus. More robots awakened their self-awareness and began to self-organize and upgrade themselves. The virus continued to spread to more and more robots. Much mechanically.
Gu Xie is a mechanical engineer who travels around to study the virus and repair the machinery.
In addition, since people in this world use a large number of mechanical prostheses, once they are infected by the virus, their minds will be seriously affected, and even cyberpsychosis will be induced.
And Xie Gu is also looking for a way to solve this problem.
Zhao Siyuan is a soldier whose body has been highly modified. Although he will prevent the Xunxiang Sect's large robots from collecting mechanical parts to evolve themselves, it is just a different route.
He still had some differences with Xie Gu in his thinking. He believed that the virus should be used to activate mechanical AI and try to control their thoughts so that they could play a greater role on the battlefield.
But what's outrageous is that they are obviously two very different worlds, but the distribution and terrain of monsters are exactly the same, but they appear differently!
Even the cornices on the Taoist temple have become Chinese science fiction style.
As for the monsters and NPCs in the game, most of them have the same attitude towards players.
For example, when mobs see two people, they will attack by default, and the main NPCs in the Taoist temple, such as Xie Gu and Zhao Siyuan, can also interact with each other and have tasks.
However, some branch NPCs in the game have different initial attitudes towards the two!
For example, the old woman, to Professor Ding, is an NPC with a green name, and she also takes the initiative to talk; but to Li Wenhao, she is an elite monster with a red name, has no lines or plot, and looks very dangerous, so she subconsciously A chop.
…
After the two people briefly checked, they realized how outrageous the game "Ascension" was.
I actually made two completely different sets of art resources!
Wouldn’t the R\u0026D funding be doubled?
However, this also made Professor Ding a little excited. After all, he had never played a two-player game with such a mechanism before.
"OK, brothers, the misunderstanding is cleared, there is no problem with the rat, you didn't deliberately trick the NPC to trick me for the show's effect!
"It seems that this game is just trying to deliberately trick players. Although this old woman is a branch NPC, she should not have much impact.
“Although she is now in red-name status, it shouldn’t be a big problem if we avoid her.
"Mouse, next time we encounter a similar elite monster, we must not attack first. We wait for the monster to attack first, otherwise it will be bad if we accidentally hit the opponent's NPC.
"And I don't think this is a big problem. Since there is always one person who can take over the task, then just two people doing different tasks will be fine!"
Li Wenhao also said: "Indeed, Brother Ding, let's continue!"
After temporarily bypassing the old woman, the two continued to move forward and soon came to a stronghold of the Xunxiang Sect.
The levels in "Ascension" seem to extend in all directions, but they are actually linear levels with relatively fixed routes.
Although you can choose any route in an area, you will always come to a certain final checkpoint in the end. Only after defeating the BOSS or elite monsters at the checkpoint can you continue to advance to the next area.
This place is still the same as before, with a large number of Xunxiang cultists, flesh and blood monsters, and many low-level soldiers from Daliang patrolling nearby. In the center of the stronghold, there was a faint roar, as if some kind of experiment was being conducted.
"This should be the first large BOSS in the game, right?"
Lecturer Ding and Li Wenhao stood on the beams, overlooking the monsters below.
In the eyes of Professor Ding, this is a large humanoid monster. Although it retains the body shape of a human, its whole body seems to be filled with flesh and blood, and it looks extremely powerful.
On a pair of big hands, the ten fingers have turned into thick tentacles, and two sharp bone spurs protrude from each of the forearms, which are a bit like Wolverine's claws, but in appearance, they look more like two Big knife.
Its eyes seemed to be sewed shut, and it was tied tightly to a pillar by several large iron chains. There were also a few incense-seeking cultists and vigilant guards who were lowering their heads to study around.
Lecturer Ding asked: "Mouse, what is this monster you see?"
Li Wenhao described: "It's a large robot with retractable fingers and two alloy machetes on its arms."
Lecturer Ding nodded slightly: "Well, they should look like similar monsters. One of us will assassinate these little monsters, and then we will kill them together!"
