Chapter 55:
Idol Academy is a story-driven game.
This type of game is a new type that emerged after the combination of AI system and virtual reality technology, and has certain similarities with strategy games. The core gameplay is to cultivate your favorite characters, arrange his itinerary activities as an agent, and witness his growth and changes along the way, unlock specific plots and CGs, and finally get through different endings according to the cultivation tendency.
After players enter the game, they can get one of the initial four five-star characters from the welfare package to start the development route. Of course, in addition to the initial five-star, players have 30 chances to draw the novice card pool, and they can also use other characters drawn as training objects. Players can currently select up to three characters as the main training objects, and the remaining characters as auxiliary training.
Drama and small competitions.
The plot is usually part of the character exploration, and there is a certain chance to trigger the CG. Small-scale competitions are competitions with other characters. If the player has enough character values, they can win and get some improvement. Failure will affect the mood value and action value, reducing the probability of the next competition.
process.
The above two parts can be compensated by purchasing fast growth props, but it is much more expensive than ordinary games.
The unique thing about this game is that the characters will grow on their own with the progress of the plot. If there is no player assistance, the value will also be improved.
The plots players see are divided into two types: established plots and random plots. The established plot is the route set by the AI, such as the personal plot of the character, the opening exam, the assignment of the class, the competition and the content of the competition.
Random plots are mostly spaces that players can manipulate. For example, in the first training activity, based on the training of all players on the character, it will determine the character with an advantage in the next game, and improve the performance of the character. For example, in the first major event level, the voting results of the players as the audience affect the outcome of the game, and also cause some differences in the subsequent plots.
After going through the first big event level and initially determining the growth of each character, the player can start the agent mode.
In the agent mode, the player turns to the first perspective, and can appear beside the selected characters as a student of the business department in the academy, and as a trainee agent, help them plan training plans and arrange going out Activities, personally participate in the role of growth. At this time, the factor affecting the next activity level is also the total training data, not the progress of individual players.
According to the fact that there is one game left in the first big event level, players could not have close contact with the characters, but the third game gave players this opportunity.
The third game is called - Idol Attraction.
A total of 9,000 players as spectators in the first two games, each with one vote, can vote for the character who left a deep impression on him in this game. The class with the most votes at the end wins.
According to common sense, in addition to those who are really willing to vote for the most impressive characters, most players will still vote for their main characters.
In short, it's a time to test the player's cooking skills, in a sense.
This is for a class that has fallen behind after two games, as long as they have highly popular characters, they may not have the chance to turn their losses into victory.
But at the same time this game is also a terrifying level for less popular characters.
As a novice player who is not familiar with all kinds of games, the first time she saw the rules of the game, in addition to the excitement of being able to get close to her favorite characters, there are also indescribable worry.
Different from the high-star role that most people admire, she likes a young man with a vague figure hidden in the plot.
It was a character she couldn't help falling in love with when she first saw it. Although under the brilliance of other characters and the overwhelming voices of players, he is like a dandelion that flies away with the wind. Idol.
Unexpected characters.
The boy's card face is really ordinary. The one-star character only has daily clothes, which is not flexible enough.
On the card, the black-haired boy was wearing a hoodie of the same color, showing his side face, slightly raising his lower jaw, pursing his lips, and quietly swelling his front, his dark green pupils seemed to be lonely waiting for the prey Wolf.
Others are not even close.
It turns out that her vision is right, this is a very unique teenager.
After choosing the character route, you can follow his perspective to experience the main line. As a marginal character in the plot, there are not many opportunities for the teenager to appear, but she can surprise her every time.
She saw the boy who bloomed like a black rose in the opening test. She was proud of him for being so good, and regretted that he did not get the first.
She saw that in the advanced acting class, the young man who played the **** was holy and cold, but also had an imperceptible tenderness. She also did not miss the unwilling eyes of the boy after the performance.
kind of thing.
Uneasy, she saw that the boy quickly recovered from the blow, but suddenly changed his temper, pretended to be a villain, and provoked an unfamiliar character.
At that time, she flipped through the system panel and learned that the opponent who was going to compete with the boy was a five-star with excellent resources, even if she had confidence in him, she could not help but worry.
Fortunately, the boy didn't make the wrong move. With the help of his opponent's contempt and preparations, he won the game and took the initiative to intervene in someone else's route for the first time.
She was only happy at the time, but she didn't expect that, so in the first battle, the teenager attracted the attention of some players, and was brought out for discussion in the forum. Many of them are dissatisfaction with the young man, malice toward a cannon fodder character who appeared out of thin air, and dissatisfaction with the victory of an unremarkable guy.
She swiped through those forum posts, looking at a dense mass of negative words, she couldn't start, and she didn't know how to justify it.
She began to feel sad and flustered, wanting to say that this is a good child, wanting to say that he is not that bad, wanting to say that he is very powerful and excellent, wanting to say that he deserves more attention and love .
The disadvantage of the lack of language is vividly displayed at this moment. She is clumsy and has a lot of ambition, but she deletes line by line, and then revises it repeatedly to remove those words that may be misleading, and she is careful to regret Meteorite twilight enzyme small
When the voices of one person or several people appear in the huge wave, they are like a drop of water splashing into the ocean, and they disappear without even being able to lift the water.
No matter how she explains, she can't shake most people's thoughts, let alone change the situation of teenagers
I'm so useless... She bowed her head and argued, and gave up saying those unheard words. She could only rejoice in her heart: fortunately, the young man never knew that in the outside world That would be the case, otherwise he would be so sad.
The teenager was never disturbed by these things, he still lived his college life, and he was sticking to the sand every day
From the player's point of view, when the game is about to fail, such as not hitting the correct music point, misremembering the sequence of actions, etc., the teenager will always be very natural and smooth. Chu out of thin air to give players one more chance.
This is indeed a benefit for the card to grow up, but it made her jump with excitement, who thought she was a failure but was rescued for the first time.
Look, this is the boy I have raised, the best boy!
She almost wanted to make a loud announcement on the forum like this, but she was afraid that it would lead to malicious speculation, so she silently praised him countless times in her heart, and actively invested in the training of him. .
The more you look at him, the more you can feel the unique tenacity.
The teenagers can do well in all classes. The violin, which was not very good at first, gradually became smooth after a few weeks. Not to mention other courses that already have the foundation.
As a player who can only see from God's perspective, she can't see the scene of the teenager every time he returns to the dormitory, nor can she see what he does after running out of activity points. But she understands that if such progress is not an amazing talent, it must be an unimaginable effort.
There is gradually a speculation on the forum that the teenager is actually a genius. She was very entangled about this. On the one hand, she expected him to be a genius with unlimited potential, and then he could be free and unconstrained by everything about Zhaofeishengguan. On the other hand, she was worried, what kind of genius would be a one-star?
But if he had come this far with hard work, she would be even more saddened - no doubt, it would be an extremely painful and hard road.
But she seems to be unfounded. When she returned to the game, the teenager was as always, silently studying, and occasionally chatting with other people in the class, calm and firm. Neither hard work nor talent can change the pace of his progress.
So she was also affected by this atmosphere and calmed down - don't worry, there is still a long way to go.
She slowly triggered more stories about the young man, watching him pretend to be another person to pretend to be pitiful Zhao Gaohe to get information in front of his opponent, and then was agitated to show his true colors, couldn't help laughing.
Watching his dance moves improve day by day, watching him cleverly cover up among the falling out teammates, watching him whispering that he can't dye his hair, watching him hold too dark Hei Pao asked for revision... She seems to have been with him for a long time in these plots, so that when that moment came, when the boy showed his amazing beauty on stage, she was somewhat calm.
The terrifying and gloomy Grim Reaper on the stage brought a stunning feeling of suffocation.
The star that worked hard to shine, finally let people see the light a little!
The unspeakable satisfaction and excitement drove her to open the forum and wanted to say something, but she was surprised to find that other players noticed him. I noticed that he is active in the plot of other characters, and his strength is very good.
Those players finally no longer regard the teenager as a stumbling block, but face him squarely because of the performance of this game and the strength reflected in it, regard him as a powerful role in the early stage, and carry out Simple research discussion.
This is still far from what she wanted most, but there has been a lot of progress.
The day she looked at the forum, she snickered in her heart, as sweet as drinking honey - great, he can finally be seen in a better appearance.
What's even more surprising is that when she sneaked some praise comments, not only did they agree, but she also indicated that she was an agent who specialized in cultivating this role.
Role.
They didn't set up an organization, and they didn't communicate much, but they just agreed to pour all the resources they could get into that person. Unconsciously, she has a group of partners with a common goal, hoping that the boy who is unwilling to stop can realize his wish and become the best idol.
What happened later also proved that the teenager lived up to expectations. He has become more and more excellent, and has attracted the attention of many people, and has even become a resident in certain posts.
The mermaid looking up at the ocean on the stage is the embodiment of extreme beauty, extreme loneliness, and seeking love. Silently, Zhang Zhao takes a bath
There is too deep intersection, so he will not be tired of loneliness?
She held this concern, but found another thing - in fact, the teenager was always surrounded by people, sometimes a blond boy with expectant eyes, sometimes a pink-haired boy with gentle eyes , sometimes a purple-haired boy who pretended to swipe unintentionally, sometimes a black-skinned boy who glanced carelessly, sometimes a gentle and playful blond teacher, and sometimes a sternly encouraging brown-haired teacher...
She suddenly understood that the boy was not alone, but he never noticed anything other than the target. As long as he turned around, he might not be surrounded by loneliness again. This is probably a very long process, the road is not lonely, it is enough to be reassuring.
Even so, she still wanted to come to him in person and tell him that most important sentence.
It was a tough game for him, so she needed to say it, she had to say it.
The girl took a breath, slowly spit it out, lowered her mind, and entered the game.
Opening her eyes again, she saw the voting board standing in front of the door, the bustling audience, the long queue outside the rooms of different characters, clenching the tickets in her hand, glanced at the target , with a turn of footsteps, unswerving
There is no doubt that this is a challenge that is difficult for him to overcome.
Or, a nightmare.
Do your best to avoid situations that might be ignored.
But no matter how much he forgets, it remains as an objective fact that he is not liked by most players.
Even, he got more negative impressions.
When he chose to go the route of being a demon king to others from Star Dou, he was ready to be hated, and he couldn't say he regretted or hated it at the moment.
Just sitting in this room waiting to be chosen, waiting for the audience to vote with 90% of the players, he remembered some not-so-good memories.
Like the self who was always abandoned in a dream.
Weak and tedious.
In this competition, the students of Class A are in the same partition, each has a room as a voting area, and the audience who come in to vote can have a simple conversation with them, which makes them more intuitive The new-born man and the reason why he chose himself.
The purpose of this competition is to test the students' qualifications to become idols - how much attention they can attract and how many impressions they can leave.
It is also about self-reflection and thinking-what part of oneself can attract the audience, and whether it has a good foundation
As the saying goes, "Idols who can't keep their eyes and make an impression are unqualified", all idol students must go through this part, go through this test that almost hits the soul— Can you really be an idol?
Even if Xingdou couldn't see it, he could guess the situation of the five stars in several rooms. In his dream, he had heard of such a grand event. Although it was not in this game, the situation was similar .
People who almost fill the room will crowd to meet them, excited and excited, cheerful voices like flying white doves, through the walls of the room, leap to the boundless sky. And there are still people outside who can't see the end looking forward to meeting. Perhaps that is the power of idols, bringing hope and satisfaction, and bringing hope and happiness.
That must be a very, very enviable scene.
The black-haired boy sat on the chair, his eyes slowly swept across the empty room, lowered his eyes, bowed his legs, and slowly embraced himself, as if taking a nap without saying a word.
The ten square meter room was quiet, only the sound of shallow breathing echoed.
At this moment, Xingdou couldn't help but think of the question from a long time ago - why do you want to become an idol, why do you have to pay everything for it?
Is such a strong love and dedication a pure purpose? Or an unwilling rebellion?
If not, what is there to support this slightly tired heart at this moment?
He doesn't get an answer.
The silent time seemed to be magnified, and the faint sound of the dial moving echoed in his mind, and he gradually felt that it was meaningless to stay here.
In this desperate silence, he heard the sound of "ding dong".
That is the sound of the door opening.
Being at a loss, Xing Dou looked towards the door, and a figure slowly entered, revealing a white corner of his clothes, which seemed to be a skirt. But he didn't have any good guesses in his heart: maybe he was going the wrong way, he just came to ask. Or a player who hates him so much wants to see the loser's face and deliberately plays with him.
In any case, it is impossible for him to expose his incompetence to them.
"Before you come in, you'd better read the signs here. If you make a mistake, leave now so that you won't be in a long queue."
As soon as the girl entered the door, the cold and prickly voice came over, making her tremble.
Looking up, the black-haired and green-eyed youth was not much different from what he had seen before, sitting behind the voting table, slightly raised his chin and pretended to be arrogant, folded his hands on his chest, displeased with Zhan vinegar Waxy orange cysts are about how to account for Lai Nawu.
No, it's not exactly the same, at least not from God's perspective, his slightly tense expression and resisting movements.
Like a little hedgehog that subconsciously erects thorns and refuses the approach of natural enemies.
She was amused by this association, she couldn't help but relax, she couldn't hold back, she brought out a little smile, and seemed to be in a good mood Zhankou: "No, I'm for You came."
However, this sentence did not get good feedback, the black-haired boy's expression remained unchanged, his tone was light: "If you want to see a joke, there is nothing you want to find here. Maybe you should understand , there's no point in wasting time on sarcasm, just as nothing you can do can change my behavior."
Only then did the girl restrain her smile, frown slightly, observe the alert boy for a while, and murmur: "Sure enough, I should come..."
Before Xingdou could hear what she was saying, he saw the girl in front of him take a deep breath and let it out slowly, as if he had drawn enough courage from it, and stepped forward a few steps, very Quickly rushed to him, "snapped", and slapped a ticket on the table.
This is?
Xingdou was stunned for a moment, just about to ask about the situation, the girl's continuous words have been conveyed: "I am about to become a trainee manager, and I am looking for a candidate who can become a super idol. After these two games, I have I think that Xing Dou, you have excellent talent and excellent ability, and can achieve this goal, so I want to be your collaborator, I don’t know what you think.”
"Well, that's the official word, but not mine."
& nbsp; . "
"I believe that you can become the best idol, I believe that you can shine like no one else in the future, I want to support you, I want to help you, you want... and Am I coming with you?"
The voice of the girl who was not good at words gradually weakened, but Xingdou had already lost his mind, as if he had encountered a bug and could not handle the situation at hand.
Someone invited him to work together?
No, no, she said she was an agent, so she was a player.
A player wants to work with him?
Why? Wasn't he obviously forgotten and abandoned?
Isn't he... hated?
The eyes on the stage overlapped.
It also coincides with his own eyes looking at the stage.
Xing Dou suddenly calmed down, the panic that was overwhelmed was subsided, and returned to its original state.
The black-haired boy was silent for a moment, then looked back, his deep green eyes were like shining gems, reflecting a splendid splendor under the light: "...why do you think you can succeed?"
This is tantamount to saying, let an ordinary villager defeat the devil, and in fact, there are more and better choices, why choose him?
Next, I captured a fleeting star."
"That's a star that doesn't want to fall, so I won't let him down."
