Chapter 173 The Temple of Truth (Third update, please vote for the monthly ticket!)
Teaming up with Wang Dawei is the anchor "Black Dragon" on the same platform, the same anchor who has played "Sisyphus" speedrun before.
Wang Dawei was mainly responsible for surviving the entire game, and then using various props to restore health to himself and the black dragon, and then the black dragon defeated powerful enemies along the way.
Actually, Wang Dawei himself is not very interested in this game. He just insisted on playing because he was kidnapped by the audience and he was too embarrassed to abandon the black dragon and run away midway.
Lilith likes to watch people who are almost as handicapped as herself. It just so happens that there is no other anchor to watch at this time, so she temporarily locked Wang Dawei's live broadcast room.
"Brother David, where should we go next? There seem to be three options, Zhenyan Temple, Crane Valley, and Immortal Village." Black Dragon asked.
Wang Dawei thought for a moment: "Brother Long, I think we should go to Zhenyan Temple first. It is mentioned in the plot dialogue that there is a relic sword in Zhenyan Temple, which seems to be a very important key prop."
< br>Obviously, in the same two-player mode, players can also play different effects.
The combination of Lecturer Ding and Li Wenhao is relatively unsuccessful.
Both of them have similar operations and have their own ideas, so under the mechanism of "Ascension", it is easy for conflicts to arise.
But the combination of Wang Dawei and Heilong is much more harmonious.
Wang Dawei himself is not very good at playing games. He is very smart and has a good memory, but his operation is average; while Black Dragon is a standard brainless action player. He has good operation but never watches the plot. .
Black Dragon had made a joke before when broadcasting other action games, killing the final BOSS. However, in the final cutscene CG, an NPC mentioned the name of the final BOSS and asked: "Who is this?"
I am the kind of player who doesn't want to read a word of the plot.
So the two of them cooperated perfectly when playing the two-player mode together. Black Dragon was in the front and cut down people when he saw them, while Wang Daweigou used props from a distance in the back to cooperate.
Of course, due to the random hatred transfer mechanism in the BOSS, Wang Dawei suffered a lot and was beaten. Fortunately, Black Dragon's skills are indeed excellent, especially after realizing the secret of "cutting three against one", the game progress was still okay. Keep pushing.
In addition, in the division of labor between the two, Wang Dawei also shoulders the important task of watching the plot. He determines the selection of side tasks and the route of the game.
Although Wang Dawei will definitely make a choice that is beneficial to him, Black Dragon doesn't even read the plot, so it doesn't matter at all.
The audience in the live broadcast room also jokingly called their combination "a blind man carrying a lame man on his back". Wang Dawei is the lame man who is responsible for guiding the way, and Heilong is the blind man who is responsible for opening the way.
The two left Jiangducheng and followed the instructions in the plot to head to the Shingon Temple.
The game "Ascension" does not have a large map or clear mission guidelines, only a few simple text descriptions in NPC dialogues. If you are a player who skips the plot directly, it is equivalent to having no guidance.
Soon, the two jumped off a cliff, stepped on the thick branches on the cliff and looked ahead.
I saw an endless plank road between the cliffs in the mountains, and above the plank road, on the mountain peak shaded by blood-red maple leaves, there was an ancient temple.
The largest hall of this temple is at the top of the mountain. There are also various corridors and plank roads connecting other Buddhist halls, distributed on the mountainside and in the valley.
“Brother David, I’m on it!”
Black Dragon took the lead and rushed down to fight with the monks patrolling nearby.
The mobs in "Ascension" are not particularly strong, and considering Li Huanzhen's excellent mobility, players can simply ignore these mobs and run away to fight the BOSS. What's more, players can also use various methods such as assassination or props.
Heilong and Wang Dawei moved forward steadily.
Just playing around, Wang Dawei felt something was wrong.
"Brother Long, I seem to have a bug here. There is a stone bench stuck in the wall. Have you seen it?"
Black Dragon came over and took a look: "Oh, what I see here is an abandoned metal tire, but I think it is normal.
"Hey, there is a pillar here with a bit of a strange texture, and the surrounding They are all metal pillars. They have turned into red pillars, and some of the paint is peeling off. "
Wang Dawei looked at it and said: "All the pillars here are red pillars with some paint peeling off. I don't know which one you are talking about.
“Is there too many bugs in this game?
“It was fine at the beginning, but there were only one or two occasionally. How come there are more bugs as you go on?
"Has this game been tested before it was released?"
Black Dragon didn't know what to say: "This... I don't really understand. It stands to reason that this company's previous games had very few bugs.
“Why does this game have only one bug in three steps? They are all relatively low-level bugs such as model misalignment and texture errors. It stands to reason that it can be easily detected by taking more tests, right? "Oh, by the way, this game seems to be using the Vientiane Editor!
"This broken editor is famous for its many bugs. It seems that even with Nitian's technical ability, it is basically useless. I can’t finish the repairs, so I have to make do with it..."
Wang Dawei was helpless: "It's a bit torture to play like this!"
At this time, he seemed to have returned to the feeling of playing pirated games in Internet cafes more than ten years ago, which was quite difficult.
Playing this game was not very fun at first. Now I finally have some interest in the plot of the game, but I am beginning to be tortured by bugs again.
What’s even more outrageous is that while playing this game, you will often have hallucinations and auditory hallucinations. The picture in front of you will turn into another science fiction world, and science fiction sound effects will often ring in your ears. Even the image and sound appear separately, highlighting one torture.
Wang Dawei himself can’t tell whether this is a BUG or a deliberate mechanism of the game.
[Wang Dawei’s negative emotions +1! 】
【Wang Dawei’s negative emotions +1! 】
【Wang Dawei’s negative emotions +1! 】
There are not many negative emotions, but they are very frequent.
Finally, after killing the two mini-bosses in a torturous manner, the two finally arrived at the main hall of the Shingon Temple.
In Wang Dawei's vision, this is a magnificent Buddhist temple. There are many old monks meditating and chanting sutras here. However, they have all been completely parasitized by flesh and blood monsters. Although they have almost immortal life, they can only be suppressed by continuously chanting sutras and chanting the Buddha's name. A flesh-and-blood monster will mutate immediately once it stops.
In the Xianxia plot, the Shingon Temple has existed since ancient times, and the Buddhist teachings, relic swords, and various secrets that guard the beams have been passed down from generation to generation.
In Black Dragon's view, this is a temple composed of very special mechanical monks. All the monks are robots. They have incense scars on their heads with welding points, and metal hanging in front of their necks. The rosary made of balls looks quite Zen-like when you sit cross-legged and meditate, pinch it with the index finger and thumb of the robot hand and then place it naturally on your knees.
In the science fiction plot, after the intelligent machines awakened through a special AI virus, a small group of intelligent robots also developed concepts such as philosophy, meditation, and spiritual practice. By searching human databases, they believed that they should be like Like devout monks, they think about the meaning of the existence of humans and AI, purify their souls, and find ways to live in harmony with humans.
So they occupied the Shingon Temple originally built on the mountain, put on the monk's robes left by the escaped monks, and occupied the magpie's nest to become real monks.
But no matter which world view you are in, the old monk of Zhengon Temple will be the key figure in promoting the plot.
"Be careful, Brother David. The final BOSS battle of this scene should be ahead. You stand behind me and be careful to save your life." Black Dragon entered the hall first and looked at the huge electronic display screen that was scrolling playing electronic Buddhist scriptures. Mechanical monk below.
Wang Dawei followed him cautiously, also staring at the withered-looking old monk under the Buddha statue.
However, the imagined attack did not happen.
Seeing that the old monk was still motionless, he slowly said: "Two donors, the poor monk already knows your purpose. But if you want to get the relic sword, you need to ask yourselves first:
"Do you want to see the reality of this world, or is it illusion?
"Or... is reality also illusion? ”
Before he finished speaking, the old monk gently turned the beads in his hand, and their vision went dark together!
The next second, they had arrived at another scene!
< br>What surprised Wang Dawei and Heilong was that not only could they not see each other, but the scenes had also been swapped!
What Black Dragon originally saw was a science fiction world, but now he was in a fairy world.
This is not the main hall of a Buddhist temple, but an independent space. Below is an abyss. The temple is built on a big tree that reaches the sky and the earth. There seem to be many NPC souls wearing traditional clothes coming and coming. often. Cyborg Li Huanzhen looks out of place in this scene.
Wang Dawei originally saw the world of immortals, but at this time he was in the world of science fiction.
This seems to be the roof of a certain skyscraper complex. There are cold steel pipes and reinforced concrete everywhere. Some robots can also be seen walking around. Li Huanzhen, who is dressed in a fairy-like style, It's like traveling through time.
“Brother Long, where are you?”
"I don't know, I can't see you either, Brother David!"
Both of them were a little confused. Obviously, this BOSS battle was also conducted separately in two-player mode.
But fortunately, they soon realized that this was not a head-to-head battle, but more like a special mechanical BOSS. As long as specific goals were achieved, the level could be cleared.
Wang Dawei was a little embarrassed: "Hey! I'm a little panicked by this!"
