#438 - "Nightless" is released, G-chan live broadcast begins! (2-in-1 order required)
Watching the overwhelmingly positive reviews of Dongming Island Theme Park flood the internet, Lu Yu sat in his office, his face as dark as a stormy sky. He had hoped this crazy project would fail miserably, proving his decisions all along were correct. But now, contrary to his wishes, netizens were deeply attracted to this "virtual reality" experience, praising the park to the skies.
Lu Yu clenched his fists tightly, veins popping on his forehead, his eyes almost spitting fire. Looking at the excited comments and praises on the screen, he gritted his teeth, wishing he could smash the computer to pieces. As the head of NetDragon Websoft, a well-known game company, he had always prided himself on the fact that the company's games highly restored real life, allowing players to experience all kinds of cool sensations immersively.
However, this crazy park completely broke the conventions of the game, throwing players directly into a fictional, unimaginable world, subjected to various life-and-death tests. This was simply defiling and desecrating the purity of the game! Lu Yu was indignant, his eyes almost spitting out raging flames. He simply didn't understand why such an outrageous experience would receive such widespread praise. Did young people now become a group of thrill-seeking lunatics?
Just as he was sitting there with clenched fists and a ferocious expression, Mo Xiaoxuan suddenly barged in, looking panicked and uneasy. The young lead programmer in charge of the 《Unnight》 project was covered in sweat, obviously encountering an extremely thorny problem. "Lu... Lu General," he stammered, but before he could finish speaking, he was struck by Lu Yu's fierce gaze, which scared him into silence.
"What the hell is going on? Speak!" Lu Yu shouted sternly, his eyes as sharp as a sword. Mo Xiaoxuan answered tremblingly: "Yes, it's like this... Our open-world Xianxia game 《Unnight》 has encountered a super BUG! All client programs will automatically crash at a certain node, and cannot be repaired by themselves! We've been investigating for days, but we can't find the specific reason... What... What should we do?
Upon hearing that the game had a BUG, Lu Yu's eyes lit up, and his spirits lifted. As the producer of this game, he knew very well that 《Unnight》 had taken the company several years to create. It was an open-world Buddhist Xianxia game that strived to restore the real world. Players could freely switch characters in the game, experience different character perspectives, and freely adventure, make friends, fight, upgrade, etc. in the virtual world, just like being free in real life.
If this long-awaited masterpiece had a serious BUG, it would undoubtedly bring significant losses to the company. However, at the thought that as long as this game failed, his previous ideas and decisions would gain the final victory, Lu Yu couldn't help but feel excited. He tried to suppress the ecstasy in his heart, put on a hypocritical face, and said to Mo Xiaoxuan: "Don't worry, BUGs are normal. You immediately organize everyone in the project team to hold an emergency meeting to thoroughly analyze and solve this problem. Remember, our company does not allow any serious quality problems!
After speaking, Lu Yu deliberately put on a stern face and scanned Mo Xiaoxuan with a majestic and cold gaze. The latter was frightened by his pretense and nodded and bowed as if he had been granted amnesty, and quickly left the office. Looking at his almost fleeing back, a sly smile appeared on the corner of Lu Yu's mouth. He knew that once 《Unnight》 had an irreparable BUG, the only fate waiting for it would be to be completely smashed. By then, the ideas and propositions he insisted on within the company would naturally gain the final victory.
Not long after, Mo Xiaoxuan, following Lu Yu's instructions, organized all the members of the entire 《Unnight》 project team and held an internal emergency meeting. In the conference room, senior programmers such as Hua Wu and Wan Xiaotong were all looking uneasy, and no one knew whether the company could solve this seemingly tricky BUG.
"Don't worry, everyone. I've just reported the situation to General Lu." Mo Xiaoxuan put his hands on the conference table and scanned everyone present with a serious expression. "He asked us to go all out and never give up until we achieve our goals. We must completely solve this BUG. Otherwise, all the hard work we've put into 《Unnight》 over the years will be in vain!
Hearing this, the programmers present looked at each other and discussed one after another. "But we've been investigating for several days, and we can't find the cause." A technical backbone shook his head. "Why don't we temporarily take the updated version of the game off the shelves? So as not to affect more players."
"No, no, no, that's absolutely impossible!" Wan Xiaotong waved his hands repeatedly. "General Lu has repeatedly emphasized that once our game has quality problems, the company will bear serious responsibility. If we take the game off the shelves now, wouldn't it be the same as admitting that there are fatal flaws? Then we'll really be done for."
"Then what should we do now?" Hua Wu spread her hands helplessly. "There's no way to find a solution in a short time now. Are we just going to be severely criticized by General Lu like this?" As she spoke, a hint of panic appeared on her face. As a senior art designer of the project team, she knew very well how fierce Lu Yu's temper was.
Just when everyone was at a loss and helpless, Wan Xiaotong suddenly slapped the table, her eyes radiating a strange light. "Can't we just turn this BUG into a new feature of the game? Anyway, the response to that crazy Dongming Island Theme Park is so enthusiastic online now, which means that everyone has accepted this brand-new immersive gaming experience!
"That's right, that's right, why don't we go with the flow?" Mo Xiaoxuan suddenly cheered up, his eyes shining. "We can completely package the performance of this BUG into a brand-new game mode, allowing players to constantly encounter various strange events and emergencies in the game! And all of these situations are automatically set by the system, which is both exciting and fun, and will not affect the normal operation of the game!
"Although your idea is a bit bold, it's really attractive!" Hua Wu gradually became energetic. "For example, we can set certain characters to suddenly encounter incomprehensible strange power attacks in specific scenes, and even be trapped in a strange dimension! At that time, the system will automatically randomly load various bizarre plots, which will surprise the players! With this kind of opportunity and the unknown, I believe it will definitely generate new curiosity and interest in them."
Soon, the atmosphere of the entire project team became enthusiastic, and everyone was devoted to this "BUG transformation" discussion. Some people suggested that it would be better to randomly load some horror elements, so that characters would encounter bloody killings from time to time, and face life-and-death choices; others thought it would be better to set some comedy plots, so that some funny guys would break into the story plots from time to time and make some sensational effects; others suggested that it would be better to simply incorporate some real-world life elements into it, so that players can personally experience the real daily experiences of taverns, markets, and the mortal world in the game.
In this way, in a lively atmosphere, an extremely novel game concept gradually formed in this project team. They decided not to fix this BUG, but to package it into a brand-new "system surprise" mode. At that time, players in the game will encounter various bizarre events anytime and anywhere, and experience a different kind of immersive game fun. And behind all of this, it is actually the system loading program that the project team programmers are flexibly using that is playing a role.
After a fierce brainstorming, the entire new concept was finally generated and gradually took shape. Everyone smiled at each other, seeming to see an unprecedented confidence and expectation in each other's eyes. If this idea can really succeed, then 《Unnight》 will definitely become a game masterpiece that has created a new era! And they will definitely become the most watched star team in the industry because of this.
……
Time flew by, and in December, 《Unnight》 was finally launched together with the somatosensory cabin.
At this time, on the Peach Blossom Spring platform, G-chan was showing off the somatosensory cabin she had just received from the logistics company.
"It's here, it's here, I finally got the real thing!" G-chan said with a smile in front of the camera, having already opened the outer layer of the packaging box. She was wearing a simple and fashionable white sweater, her hair casually tied into a lively bun, and she was full of youth and vitality.
Soon, she opened the inner layer of foam packaging, and finally presented the long-awaited "somatosensory cabin" game console completely in front of the audience. The shape of this game device looked like a huge ostrich egg, made of black metal material as a whole, with an extremely smooth and smooth surface, full of a sense of technology and the future. A huge hemispherical transparent display screen was embedded on the front of the machine, looking like a huge single eye. Around this "eye", there were circles of wave-like decorative patterns, which looked extremely abstract and futuristic.
"Wow, it's so cool!" G-chan couldn't help but exclaim. She held the fuselage in both hands and slowly turned it around in front of the camera, so that the audience could appreciate it from all angles. Through the hemispherical giant display screen, you could see that the inside seemed to be a lying cabin structure similar to a recliner, embroidered with various wires and sensors. On the back and sides of the chair, there was a row of embedded speakers, which seemed to be preparing to create an immersive surround stereo sound effect for the players.
"This is simply a small space capsule!" G-chan exclaimed, gently stroking the smooth surface of the fuselage. "Why do I have a feeling that I'm about to start a space exploration journey? Wow, this design is so sci-fi and handsome!"
Soon, the barrage in the live broadcast room was swiped by the audience's enthusiastic discussion. "Is this the legendary somatosensory cabin game console? Its shape looks so cool! It's like a small spaceship!""Damn it, the design team of NetDragon Websoft is great. This is the device image that a top masterpiece should have! The display screen just now is as handsome as the main cockpit of a future space fighter!""Damn, I have the urge to hug it, I'm going to melt into this cosmic smooth and fashionable design!"
It can be seen that this "somatosensory cabin" game console, with its avant-garde fashion and design sense, instantly captured the hearts of countless game players as soon as it came out. Its futuristic and modern body design makes people deeply fascinated at first glance, as if through it they can glimpse a new world beyond imagination. G-chan's detailed display made this futuristic single product even more fascinating, making the audience have endless expectations and yearning for it.
Just then, the system suddenly popped up a new message reminder. "Oh? It seems that there is a new system content update!" G-chan noticed this message and quickly opened it to take a look. On the screen, there were the words "《Unnight》's new expansion pack is launched today, come and experience immersive virtual reality!", next to it was a brand-new game logo with a very futuristic sense of technology.
"Ah! It turns out that NetDragon Websoft's open-world Xianxia masterpiece 《Unnight》 is officially launched with the somatosensory cabin game console today!" G-chan couldn't help but clap her hands. "Is everyone ready? We'll start experiencing this brand-new immersive virtual reality game right away! Let's travel to that dreamlike Xianxia world together!
Saying that, she opened the transparent hemispherical hatch on the front of the fuselage, revealing the sleeping cabin structure inside. It was clean and spotless, as new as the cockpit of a spaceship that had just left the factory. G-chan tiptoed into the cabin and lay down comfortably on the soft leather seat, and then closed the hatch. Then, she picked up a pair of chic holographic glasses and put them on her eyes, and took two controllers from the stand next to her and held them in her hands.
"Okay, everything is ready!" She said excitedly to the camera, "Now, I'm going to start the latest expansion pack of 《Unnight》 and personally experience what the legendary 'virtual reality' world looks like! Everyone, keep up, we're going to embark on the road of cultivating immortals together!"
As soon as she finished speaking, G-chan operated the two controllers in her hands and started the 《Unnight》 game. On the hemispherical transparent display screen, a very shocking holographic image quickly flashed out, which was a vast fairyland scenery with mountains, clouds, and thousands of weather conditions! The surrounding surround sound was even more filled the entire cabin with textured sounds of insects and birds, making people feel as if they were really in that dreamlike world.
……
Amidst much anticipation, the game began.
The game started with a cutscene.
“Linshui County, Yong Prefecture, Dayuan Dynasty, has been a prosperous and bustling metropolis since ancient times. This quaint waterside town is surrounded by mountains, and clear lake water divides it into two. Several exquisite stone arch bridges in the heart of the lake connect the two banks, and pedestrians on the bridge are bustling and endless. The pavilions and towers on both sides are scattered and well-arranged, and the exquisitely carved wooden window lattices contrast the water and the sky, which is particularly elegant.”
The most ⊥ new ⊥ novel ⊥ is ⊥ at ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥⊥ book ⊥⊥ bar ⊥⊥ first ⊥ hair!
When G-chan stepped on the stone bridge, she could see the bustling streets on the shore.
The lanes were small and deep, with a winding path paved with bluestone slabs along the street. The wooden carving shops on both sides of the street had their doors wide open, and the owners were loudly hawking their wares. Over there were meat and vegetable stalls, filled with fresh mountain delicacies and game; here were teahouses and taverns, with fragrant aromas and tables and chairs set out on the street; further ahead were weaving workshops, where female weavers rhythmically treadled, weaving splendid and charming satins and brocades.
There were also jewelry and ornaments, lacquerware and ceramics, pastries and sweets, everything one could wish for. People walked back and forth in the streets and alleys, in an endless stream, like a small river converging into a current that never dries up.
At this moment, in the square of a wealthy manor, several hundred people had gathered.
It turned out that a troupe of acrobats called the "Glass Troupe" was performing here.
In the square, colorful tents were set up, with vividly painted patterns of dancing claws and bared fangs. In the center was a small stage, the ground covered with a sea-blue carpet, which looked quite elegant. In the corners were piled various juggling props, dazzling to the eye: fabrics woven with gold thread, props inlaid with pearls and gems, gold-plated steel balls, shiny long swords, huge pottery urns and wooden barrels, and so on.
Sunlight filtered through the tents, casting dappled shadows, and the acrobats were performing enthusiastically on the stage. The most eye-catching of them was Zhong Wuye, the leader of the Glass Troupe.
She was a handsome girl of seventeen or eighteen, with a slender and graceful figure and skin as white as snow. But her short hair was styled like that of a rebellious youth, and she wore a tattered old cotton robe, with a short sword at her waist. But on closer inspection, her large eyes sparkled with infinite intelligence, and her brow revealed a heroic spirit.
With a cartwheel and then a few beautiful somersaults, she immediately won a round of applause from the audience. At this moment, she suddenly caught a sharp blade thrown by a troupe member and drew a beautiful sword flower in the air. And just then, seven or eight troupe members came on stage carrying huge pottery urns, lining them up in a row. Zhong Wuye was heroic and valiant, and she stepped on the pottery urns, tumbling up and down as if in no man's land, causing a sensation in the audience.
Just as the audience was immersed in this wonderful performance, an accident suddenly happened.
One of the dancers' headwear suddenly fell off, revealing a pair of green dragon horns! When everyone saw it, they were shocked. The cheers in the audience stopped abruptly, and someone shouted, "Monster!"
Some people retreated backward in a panic, and some timid men simply fainted. For a time, the entire square was in chaos, and even the mighty and valiant Zhong Wuye was startled and froze on the stage...
