273. Chapter 271 Another Madeleine


Chapter 271 Another Madeleine

After bidding farewell to Theo, the journey to Mount Celeste was still so difficult.

In the live broadcast room, the players watched Er Xiao's hands and brain fighting again and again, and starting over again and again.

Angry and anxious, they were scrolling through the barrage one after another for fun.

I have to admire Mr. Luo's ingenuity in designing this type of game.

Just a few simple mechanisms, it was like playing tricks in his hands.

The design of each level not only makes players feel that this place is extremely simple, but when they actually get started, they feel that they are so pig-nosed.

But this feeling does not bring any sense of frustration to the player.

Because everyone clearly realizes that whether it is because of the handle, operation, reaction or other reasons.

In fact, the secret is very simple. You only need to try again and again, and you will eventually be able to successfully break through these levels.

In the end, Erxiao successfully broke through the abandoned city and reached the end of the first chapter.

There are no mechanisms or props. What stands here is a solemn-looking stone tablet.

[Celeste Mountain]

[In memory of those]

[The explorer who sacrificed his life for mountaineering]

The wind and snow in the sky are blowing like a knife blade all the time.

But this monument still stands here, unchanged forever.

"It's a bit touching, so is this game a game to commemorate mountaineering explorers?

Theo said earlier that Mount Celeste is special. Could it be that Madeleine's parents died accidentally while climbing this mountain?

Is it because she couldn't bear such a blow that she embarked on the same path as her father, wanting to conquer this place to comfort her parents' spirits in heaven? ”

"This idea makes sense. It looks like it. Holy shit, Theo feels like he should know little Madeleine's parents."

"It feels wrong. If it were to commemorate mountaineering explorers, Mr. Luo would make this game more realistic.

You should be fully equipped with all kinds of mountaineering equipment and other things.

Instead of climbing like a child's play like now. ”

"Mr. Luo usually writes very obscure plots, but the idea just now was a bit too old-fashioned."

Discussions about the plot of Azure are also divided.

Indeed, many players have given quite convincing conjectures.

But things like plot can always be seen as the game progresses.

When Erxiao controls Madeleine to continue walking to the right, on the right side of an extinguished bonfire, the game triggers the plot.

Madeleine’s little face was full of exhaustion:

"Ah, I'm dying."

The sky seemed to be getting darker, so Madeleine lit a bonfire and got as close to the flames as possible to keep herself warmer.

The bonfire is like a leaping elf, and the fire shadow reflected on the background wall is also swaying.

Madeleine squatted on the ground and moved her head deeply between her legs, revealing only a pair of big doubtful eyes.

With a blink of an eye, the blue bird that guided Madeline all the way came out of nowhere and landed on the top of the climber's head, as if he had taken this place as his new nest.

"Maybe this is a mistake."

Chapter 1, the end of the abandoned city.

At the end of the chapter, little Madeleine is seen sleeping next to the fire with a big snot bubble, which makes people laugh.

But when Erxiao pressed OK and the game returned to the 3D Seleset Mountain interface, more data in the first chapter also changed.

[Number of deaths: 256]

[Strawberry: 14/20]

What's even more heart-wrenching is that the number of deaths doesn't just pop up at the beginning, but slowly adds up to more than 200 bit by bit.

"Hahahaha! That's so right, so right! Why is Weilan so considerate? The number of deaths has been calculated for you."

"Er Xiao: I am not a colored pen. Can I be called a colored pen if I die more than two hundred times?"

"16X16."

In fact, it wouldn't be so funny to die so many times.

Everyone has noticed that the game Wei Lan is not a very easy game.

Before I couldn't stand it, some of Erxiao's levels felt really bad. When I was dying without stopping, some water friends were asking questions.

"By the way, have you counted how many times this old woman has died?"

"Forgot, the old woman died so quickly, she didn't even give me time to react.

Maybe if my mind wanders, the data will be completely wrong. ”

"This game is different from Ma Zao. After Ma Zao dies, there are obvious sound effects and an animation of the green mushroom minus one. This game does not have that, and the death penalty is almost non-existent."

"I feel like I have it five or six hundred times."

Erxiao was furious when he saw these barrages.

"Five or six hundred times? I haven't even played the first chapter for ten minutes yet. I die only five or six hundred times per second!

It's purely embarrassing, okay. ”

"Then how many times have you died?"

“I feel like it’s only a few dozen times.”

"Definitely more than a few dozen times! There must have been hundreds of times."

"At most a hundred times, I have passed many levels without dying."

Erxiao said forcefully.

The result was that even though he had just finished climbing to the top, he was slapped in the face by Wei Lan's death data the next second.

Erxiao's face was slapped so hard.

Dozens of times, up to more than a hundred times.

Looking at the results, 256 times is still 16 times.

"Er Xiao knows the effect of the program, hahaha."

"You were born to play live broadcast!"

"Good food! It feels so good to die! Good food! It feels so good to die!"

There was another wave of demons dancing in the live broadcast room.

In order to prevent the situation from getting worse, Erxiao decided to find a topic that would divert everyone's attention.

"No... why did I only get 14 strawberries? I remember I got all the strawberries?"

Erxiao kept rotating the number of strawberries with the mouse, puzzled.

"Have you forgotten what game Mr. Luo got his start in?"

"mirror! (confident)"

"Um..."

Erxiao also felt a little dizzy.

"I just passed the level without paying attention to hiding at all. Holy shit, my blood pressure was a bit high playing this game, but you still asked me to pay attention to hiding. It's so awesome."

But obviously, as an excellent game producer, meeting the needs of players is what you should do most.

When Er Xiao chose the first chapter of the game again, he found that the first chapter was split into three parts.

Beginning, crossroads, canyon.

Players can freely choose these three parts and challenge them again to complete their requirements for collecting elements.

There were six strawberries at the beginning, but Erxiao missed one.

There were nine strawberries at the crossroads, and Erxiao missed three.

Among the five strawberries in the canyon, Erxiao not only missed two, but also missed a rectangular thing.

"How could I miss so many things! I don't think I'm blind either!"

"Fart, it's obviously a blind anchor. I'm convinced that he can hide it so obviously without seeing it."

“I don’t know who played TR last time but didn’t see the Sword in the Stone, haha.”

"Go back and collect strawberries!"

"Who just said that he wanted to collect them all?"

However, Er Xiao obviously had no intention of going back and playing the first chapter again.

The players who watched the live broadcast as soon as the game launched were basically those who would not consider buying the game in the near future, or who wanted to wait and see.

Collecting everything can be done after the first wave of popularity of Azure is over, or it can be continued after the end of the first week. The most important thing now is to continue to push the plot to keep people here.

The second chapter of the game is called "Old Site".

In the 3D Celeste Mountain, the overall shape is somewhat similar to a stone watchtower.

Of course, if it's called an old site, it must be dilapidated.

When the game started, the first thing that caught my eye was a postcard.

"To Madeleine:

Strawberries will impress your friends, but nothing more.

Only collect when you really need it. ”

Immediately, Erxiao stopped pretending to be dead. As if it was a message that the eunuch had received the imperial edict, he spoke majestically towards some barrages in the live broadcast room asking him to go back and get the strawberries.

"Did you see that, the production team asked me to push the pictures first, and we will collect them all and put them in one week later."

When Madeleine woke up from the night, the originally glowing red bonfire had turned into a strange green.

The characters on the stone tablet on Mount Celeste began to move strangely.

However, the most obvious change comes from the sky.

Countless stars fell, gathering into a meteor shower, and sprinkled the world.

Madeline raised her head and stared for who knows how long, but she finally came to her senses.

Although she didn’t know what happened, the mountain was still there and she would continue to climb.

All the way to the left, the conveyor belt that used to be the absolute mainstream in the abandoned city no longer exists here.

An irregular rectangle appears in the field of view of all players.

This new level structure looks like a giant shaped blob of jelly with gray and white cross patterns dotted in the middle.

You can climb and step on it, but other than that, this thing is no different from a platform.

"How is this thing used?"

Erxiao kept hitting these jelly blocks with thrusts, but nothing happened.

Even as you continue to advance through the map, many strawberries are hidden under these jelly blocks and are simply out of reach.

"There should be something special that hasn't been triggered yet, just like the one who got the rush ability in the prologue."

"If you continue to push pictures, you will definitely be able to think of a solution."

"Just rush and it's over."

And when Erxiao began to explore the free old site, a suspicious large rectangular blue mirror came into everyone's sight.

However, the path leading to this mirror is full of spikes, and requires green zero stones to be used twice in the air.

He also died more than ten times before he successfully reached the mirror room.

But when Madeleine met her own eyes in the mirror, all the players could clearly see it.

A Madeleine with purple hair and red eyes appeared in the mirror.

The two Madeleines looked at each other in the mirror. Suddenly, the entire mirror shattered.

The purple-haired Madeleine escaped from the mirror, and the jelly block that was as smelly and hard as a latrine was instantly activated.

The dreamlike filled black is like the night sky, and the originally gray and white cross pattern is also colorful and magnificent.

As for the effect of this jelly block, Erxiao also tested it immediately.

As long as you sprint against these jelly blocks, you can slide inside like water.

But inside the jelly block, she cannot change her direction. If there is a train of thought on the other side, Madeleine will die instantly.

Just like the previous mechanical transmission platform, the jelly blocks are obviously the core of the level design idea of ​​this level.

Moreover, it is a completely different design idea!

“It’s quite fun to swim in here, hahaha!”

"Mr. Luo is really a genius. Based on this guy's consistent peeing, it is estimated that every chapter has a new core element.

Turtle, I’m really looking forward to the next process! ”

"Because you can't change your direction here after you rush in, so it's very clear from what angle you should sprint from.

Moreover, this jelly block can also move, and a timing mechanism is introduced, so the changes are endless. ”

Adaptation to the new mechanism naturally takes time.

However, this is also the essence of Weilan's game.

Each new mechanism is simple but not simple, allowing players to get started quickly and constantly making new tricks.

The blind chicken rushed in all directions, and then died directly because there was no gap on the opposite side.

There was no telling how many skulls were left here, and Erxiao finally caught up with the escaped purple-haired Madeline.

She had a relaxed and comfortable smile on her lips, her eyes were scarlet like a vampire, and she had mysterious and luxurious purple hair.

"Madeline, honey, slow down."

She was kind to Madeleine.

"Who's talking?"

Madeleine was a little confused.

"Oh, I'm just your bystander."

Looking at the guy floating in the air who was almost exactly the same as herself, Madeleine asked hesitantly:

"Are you...me?"

"I am another you."

"Why does the other me look so weird?"

"..."

Weird Madeleine was obviously not very happy with the main character’s statement, and her mouth rose with dissatisfaction,

"This is who I am, okay, get over it."

Players were indeed amused by the conversation between these two guys.

I originally thought it was a life-and-death fight.

As a result, one was very friendly to the other, but the other didn't seem to know how to speak, which left people speechless.

"You're laughing so hard, get over it."

"Madeline, both positive and negative, are so cute, woohoo."

"The purple-haired Madeleine is so handsome, okay?"

Madeleine also knew that she had said the wrong thing:

"Sorry, that's not what I meant."

"Forget it."

Madeline put her hands on her chest, and this cool girl said nonchalantly,

"I can't tell you how easy it is to finally escape from your mind.

However, I have concerns about us.

We need a hobby, but this one..."

"I know it seems crazy, but I'm going to climb this mountain."

Madeleine responded seriously.

"You can do many things, dear, but you are never a mountain climber."

"Who says I can't?"

Madeleine asked rhetorically.

"I know this is not your specialty, be sensible.

You don't know what situation you will encounter, and you won't be able to cope with it. ”

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that this version of herself that had escaped from Madeleine's mind was using all means to persuade Madeleine to give up climbing.

"That's exactly why I need to do this."

Madeleine was obviously also inspired by her rebellious psychology, and she even sarcastically said,

"Are you the weak me or the lazy me?"

"I am the pragmatic version of you, and now I hope to convince you to give up climbing.

Let's go home together. ”

Like an ultimatum, when Erxiao was able to continue to control Madeleine, the purple-haired Madeleine suddenly launched a crazy pursuit of Madeleine.

Actually, Erxiao still didn't feel anything about such a sudden development.

I've played chase battles many times.

But after I really got started, I realized that, damn, the intensity of this chase was too high!

While you need to avoid being chased by your other self, you also have to break through the many traps on the map to pass the level.

As for the strawberries on the road, I had no time to touch them.

The previous boast about winning all the strawberries was like a joke.

It is extremely difficult to ensure that you will not die.

Erxiao didn't even have time to respond to the pop-up screen. He was staring at the screen intently, and the controller in his hand flew up.

If you are not careful, you will start all over again!

Just the second chapter of the game has completely shattered all previous contempt for the difficulty of this game!

(End of chapter)
