Chapter 31 Black Box
“With the continuous development of science and technology, human beings have given machines more and more abilities and emotions in the manner of gods, but have you found that human beings’ own emotions are constantly missing?”
Huang Ying wore virtual reality glasses and walked with Han Fei in the ancient alleys of the old city. There were children playing around, with the most innocent smiles on their faces.
“Taking some of the things I have seen and experienced as an example, most of the people living in this smart city appear to be bright and always smiling, but in fact they are busy with various tasks all day long. Business situations are very stressful, and so-called social gatherings are just a show. Everyone looks warm and hospitable, but in fact they are cold inside. Calm."
"Our genes are constantly being deciphered, our information is being collected and summarized, and each of our special behaviors are recorded in the civil system, and gradually, our lives, emotions, and trends are being recorded. Due to formatting, it’s not like we are living our own lives, but more like repeating the same day until we die.”
After in-depth communication, Han Fei discovered that Huang Ying was a very powerful person, at least the words he said made people feel very powerful.
“Human beings evolved from animals, but their hearts have gradually become like machines. This is a terrible thing. And it is precisely because of this that I like Perfect Life, a cross-era novel. Game."
Stepping on the bluestone, looking at the moss on the roadside, and smelling the faint fragrance after the rain, Huang Ying opened his eyes. Arm: "This game is helping us find our missing emotions and heal the pain in our souls. Here we can re-experience the beautiful memories we have forgotten, and it is also here we can clearly feel our existence."
"Really?" Han Fei thought of how he looked when playing games, and almost burst into tears.
"Yes." Huang Ying said with certainty.
"This trial version feels extraordinary when I play it. I don't know how powerful the official version will be." Han Fei took off his virtual reality glasses, and the drizzle in the ancient alley disappeared. He was standing in a box with Huang Ying.
“The official version will definitely exceed your imagination. This is a game that makes people’s dreams come true. This game is really like its name, it will give you a perfect life!” Huang Ying very much Said with emotion.
"Listening to your tone, I feel like you have played the official version?" Han Fei looked a little surprised.
"You have seen that I am actually a special tester for the sixth closed beta of "Perfect Life"."
Han Fei thought of the information he was looking for on the Internet, "Perfect Life" The internal test players of this game are roughly divided into four categories: The first is the internal game staff. During each test, they will first enter the in-depth experience of the game.
The second is the supervisors of relevant government departments. As a cross-era, deeply immersive game, "Perfect Life" integrates the most cutting-edge science and technology with countless crazy ideas, and the government also attaches great importance to it.
The third is specially invited testers like Huang Ying, who are often professionals in a certain industry and field. They will play the game from their own professional perspective and put forward their own suggestions for modifications to make the game more realistic and interesting.
The fourth category is mass players, who obtain internal beta qualifications through various channels.
Some of these people are hardcore players who simply want to experience the game, while others are studios that make money from games. They want to obtain first-hand information to prepare for the open beta.
"If you can become a special tester, then you must be a big boss in reality!" Han Fei was now sure that the Huang Ying in front of him was the Huang Ying he met last night. His previous guess is correct.
"I don't want to be a big boss. I'm just famous in the industry." Huang Ying is very humble and has no airs. He very patiently led Han Fei to visit the game exhibition area and kept boasting about the game Perfect Life. It felt better than the game The company's salesmen must also be dedicated.
"You said that a perfect life can make everyone's dreams come true. So if I am an ultimate horror movie lover, can I experience horror movies immersively in the game." Character determined After that, Han Fei started to test.
“Of course, there is a special night amusement park in the game, which is prepared for horror lovers. There are various exciting facilities and plot movie reproductions. You can even choose to work in the night amusement park , trying to trigger the life of becoming the owner of the paradise. "Huang Ying began to make suggestions seriously:" But you have to pay attention. There is a mental threshold setting in the game. Once it exceeds ten, you will be judged by the system as being strongly stimulated and will be forcibly disconnected."
"If it exceeds ten, you will be forcibly disconnected. ?" Han Fei's eyelids twitched. His mental threshold in the game was set to 100, which is as high as his health!
“If you force disconnection too many times, your game character may die. Life in Perfect Life is very fragile, and you only have one life. After death, all data will be cleared and everything will start from scratch. "Huang Ying said with deep feeling: "Death is very painful, you must cherish life."
"I personally have watched a lot of horror movies, and I have no idea about the plot of the movie. On the contrary, some of the bizarre incidents related to hauntings in reality make me feel more creepy." Han Fei stepped closer to the question he wanted to ask: "You said In a perfect life, will there be such plots as supernatural stories? ?”
“It should have been before the second test. I heard that there were not many restrictions at that time. At that time, players were not punished for attacking NPCs. One tester even massacred a community. He ended up being insane. Locked up."
"This. So crazy?"
"What do you think? When human nature loses its restraint, people will become the most terrifying beasts." Huang Ying seemed to still remember some rumors at the time: "Because of the tester. A Perfect Life added a lot of restrictions and cut nearly a third of the show Until the sixth closed beta, basically all plots that could easily cause moral and ethical issues have been removed, and even the Easter eggs in the late founder’s will have been deleted.”
“Founder. An Easter egg left in someone’s will?”
"Don't you know? This matter is very famous in the gaming circle." Huang Ying lowered his voice: "The chairman of Yongsheng Pharmaceutical passed away due to illness after the first closed beta test of "Perfect Life". He stated in his will that his The children are going to find a black box. He said that the box is full of human beings. He also gave three hints, saying that the box is in the deepest part of the world, the deepest part of the mind, and the deepest part of the human heart.”
“Then someone came. Did you find the box?" Han Fei wiped the cold sweat from his forehead without leaving a trace.
“No, everyone interpreted it variously, and finally suspected that the box was actually an Easter egg in the game, and it should contain the old man’s obsession. The testers at the time were looking for Easter eggs in the game like crazy. No one found it until the third test. For some reasons, the old man initially found it. All the plots involved in the design have been deleted, and the easter egg will never be found." Huang Ying said with a hint of regret in his voice: "I really want to know what that easter egg is in my lifetime."
"Yeah, I'd also like to know." Han Fei touched the back of his head, his expression very calm. (End of this chapter)
