Chapter 177 The plot becomes more reasonable!
“These are not bugs, but part of the game content? Are they directly related to the game plot?”
Black Dragon almost thought that Wang Dawei was talking nonsense. The bugs in the game were obviously developed by him. How could a procedural issue be related to the plot of the game? The dimensional wall no longer exists, right?
However, Wang Dawei thought seriously and became more and more convinced of his speculation.
“Brother Long, have you understood what the plot of this game is about so far?”
This time, the black dragon was stopped.
He choked for a while, and finally said: "I don't understand."
Wang Dawei explained: "The game "Ascension" does exist in two worlds at the same time, a fairy world. , a mechanical world, and the protagonist Li Huanzhen exists in these two worlds at the same time. In the single-player mode, the two worlds will switch randomly, while in the double-player mode, the player plays one of Li Huanzhen. Personality, see one of the worlds respectively
“Then the question is, Brother Long, which world do you think is real? "
Black Dragon was confused again: "Huh? Why do you ask? ”
Wang Dawei explained: "Because for players, they must be sure that a certain world is real before the plot of the game can progress!
"Li Huanzhen is a typical schizophrenia patient. Visual hallucinations, auditory hallucinations, and even hallucinations of another world may occur. Therefore, according to common sense, one must be a real world, while the other world only exists in Li Huanzhen's imagination.
“If the player believes that the world of Xianxia is a real world, then he must make a choice according to the plot of the world of Xianxia; conversely, if he believes that the mechanical world is a real world, he must make a choice based on the plot of the mechanical world. Make a choice.
“To think that both worlds are true is to fall into complete madness. After all, while he was saving people in one world, he was killing people in the other world; he became the savior in one world, but he became the world-destroying devil in the other world.
“This kind of cognitive confusion is definitely enough to drive normal people completely crazy.
"So, I have been wondering since soon after entering the game, which world is the real world?"
Black Dragon nodded: "Well... Do you have the answer now, Brother David?"
Wang Dawei shook his head slightly: "No!"
"Pfft!" The black dragon almost spit out, "Brother David, you have been talking for a long time..."
Wang Dawei explained Said: “Although there is no definite answer yet, through interpretation of the plot, we can understand why there are so many bugs in the game.
"A lot of hints have been given in the plot of Jingon Temple before.
"The old monk asked us, should we choose reality or fiction? Or is reality also an illusion? This means that both worlds are likely to be real, and the protagonist travels through these two worlds because of his special identity.
“In the world of Xianxia, he is the lifeblood connecting the two worlds, so he can often see another world, but this is beyond the limit that ordinary people can bear, so he will have schizophrenia and dual personality. As well as problems such as visual and auditory hallucinations.
"In the mechanical world, it is part of the debug program, a collection of a large number of error codes and illegal programs, which can also be said to be some kind of more advanced cyberpsychosis. 』. So as more and more error codes accumulate on itself, the AI will become more and more confused.
“In this way, all the bugs that have appeared in the game before will have reasonable explanations!
"If you look at it from the perspective of the Xianxia world, these bugs such as texture confusion and model slippage are actually all illusions that occurred when Li Huanzhen, who is destined to be a man, is on the verge of mental collapse; but from the perspective of the mechanical world, these are It's a bug that appears in the world.
"Including that as the game progresses, players begin to see hallucinations of another world more and more frequently, have auditory hallucinations, and encounter more and more bugs. , this all means that as Li Huanzhen's power continues to increase, the price he has to bear is also increasing, and he is even gradually approaching the edge of collapse!
“Isn’t this a perfect correspondence with the plot?
“These are not bugs at all, but a form of expression of the game plot! "
Black Dragon nodded as if understanding: "Is that so, Brother David? However, such outrageous bugs as the mid-air swimming bug and the relic sword bug, could it also be linked to the plot? ”
Wang Dawei nodded: "Of course!
" Think carefully, what did the old monk say when he introduced the features of Mingdi or debug programs? "
Black Dragon: "...What did you say? "
Wang Dawei was a little speechless. It seemed that Heilong really didn't remember the plot at all.
At that time, he also specifically asked Heilong to repeat what he saw the old monk said. In the blink of an eye, Heilong was all over again. Forgot. Wang Dawei could only explain patiently: "Whether it is a life or a debug program, they have a very powerful ability called 'refining falsehood into reality'!
"In a layman's terms, it's called 'all your wishes come true'.
"In the world of Xianxia, as long as something is certain, it has a high chance of becoming a reality; and In the mechanical world, the debug program is also directly connected to the program backdoor of the AI in this world. It can directly invade the intelligent programs of other machines, short-circuit the machines and even cause the AI to become completely chaotic and kill each other.
"It can be said that this actually surpasses the power of the Creator!"
The black dragon was even more confused: "Huh? So am I so strong? But if my wishes can come true, Why are we still tortured to death by a random BOSS...
"If we hadn't been beaten repeatedly by the crane-riding immortal, we wouldn't have returned to Jiangdu City to continue killing the monsters."
Wang Dawei shook his head: "I said, this 'refining falsehood into reality' has The condition is that you have to 'believe'! Oh, to be precise, it's not the players who have to believe, but Li Huanzhen himself who has to believe.
"Does Li Huanzhen believe that he can kill the Crane Immortal in an instant? He doesn't believe it!
"Because in Li Huanzhen's view, the Crane Immortal and the previous BOSSs are all extremely powerful, and he may not be able to defeat them even if he tries his best. Therefore, his ability to turn falsehood into reality cannot be used against him. BOSS plays a direct role
“But swimming in the air is different. ”
Wang Dawei continued: "Brother Long, think about how the empty swimming happened?
"It was Li Huanzhen who accidentally fell into the moat and kept swimming. At the same time, he accidentally swam outside the boundaries of the map.
“In the game, it is the boundary of the map, so what is it in the game world? It is the boundary of the world!
“Or it can also be said to be the junction of two worlds, or it is A projection of one world into another!
“When Li Huanzhen thinks that he is swimming in one of the worlds, then he can freely travel through any space in the other world just like swimming.”
Black Dragon felt that there seemed to be some problems here: "Wait a minute, but all the buildings and collisions in the two worlds are the same, and the areas where the rivers exist should also be the same."
Wang Dawei nodded: "It's the same, actually. Li Huanzhen had already left the water and reached the ground and the air. However, because he mistakenly thought that he was still swimming, he continued to swim, even looking at the two worlds from a god's perspective.
"This 'empty swimming' state will not be lifted until Li Huanzhen steps on the ground again or enters the water so that he no longer believes in it. "
This sentence is a bit brain-burning and short-circuited the Black Dragon CPU.
"In other words, the area where Li Huan vacuum travels is actually caused by the overlap of two worlds. Boundary or projection area? And the reason why Li Huanzhen is able to travel freely in this area is because of the characteristics of his life base, and because he firmly believes that he can swim, so the false practice has become true? ”
Wang Dawei nodded: "Yes! Brother Long, you have good understanding. You understood it so quickly. That's what I meant!"
"So the action of "swimming in the air" is completely explainable from the plot!" "
Black Dragon nodded silently: "Well...it does sound reasonable. But to say that this was something the production team had planned in advance, I still find it a bit incredible. "
Wang Dawei said matter-of-factly: "Of course the production team thought about it in advance! The reason is simple. The map model boundary I saw when swimming in the air is very complete! "
Black Dragon didn't quite understand: "What does this mean? ”
Wang Dawei explained: "For game makers, in order to reduce resource usage as much as possible, they basically save everything that players can't see.
"For example, I am now It is necessary to place a castle in the distant view of a certain scene. Do I really make a castle and put it there? Of course it's impossible. On the one hand, it would be too laborious to do, and on the other hand, it would seriously occupy the player's space and resources.
“So, even if the player will go to this castle in the later game process and the corresponding resources have been prepared, the game maker will generally not directly place the castle model here at this time, but A texture will be placed.
“So in other games, if the player accidentally gets stuck outside the map boundary, then when he looks at the original scene model, he will probably see something fragmented. paper stickers. "
The black dragon nodded: "Well... that seems to be the case! ”
Wang Dawei continued: "But "Ascension" is obviously different!
