META Quantum Era

Chapter 6 Digital Believers (1)2

In less than two hours, this was his third death, and it really shouldn't be easy to believe Pang Tai's nonsense.

The first death was due to urgency of urinating and stumbling into a glacier c***k. But Pang Tai later still persuaded him not to turn off the sensory simulation of defecation. Although this is not considered a cheating method to reduce the difficulty, it still lacks a lot of realism.

The explanation in the game manual is: when people are in a state of tension, the stimulation of the body's sympathetic nerves is not as intuitive as the feedback of the parasympathetic nerves. Suddenly encountering a beast in the wilderness, the truest feeling is very likely to make people feel incontinence.

An Ji couldn't help but smile bitterly. No wonder he had inexplicably smelled a strange smell from Pang Tai several times before. It seemed that even a senior player of his level would have physiological instincts in the face of extreme danger. Instinct.

The second time, he died from the trampling of Siberian cattle. Of course, this game also simulates the most realistic ecosystem. They happened to run into two serrated tigers hunting at the time, and Anji could be regarded as experiencing the charging speed of the herd fleeing for their lives in panic.

What makes him most uncomfortable is that the physiological chain reaction of this game is too exaggerated. Although the dormant cabin has a fixed pain simulation threshold, it will not really make people feel more than three levels of pain, but this game will simulate a series of visceral damaged reflexes.

Trampling on the body by a cow's hoof is like a massage, but the nausea caused by organ rupture is very real, and the tearing sensation of fractures or severed limbs is also simulated. Although it will not really hurt, it will bring a lot of psychological impact. So for a few minutes after the resurrection, Anji's fear still lingered, as if hundreds of cows were still stepping on their stomachs.

As for the third time, the way of death was a bit embarrassing. Anji was accidentally killed by a novice teammate and his throat was sealed with an arrow. The person was also very embarrassed, immediately apologized and quickly exited the server.

As the captain, Pang Tai's teeth itched with anger. He had never brought such a stupid group of teammates.

After being resurrected again, he asked Anji to read the survival manual first. There was really no gaming experience in this way.

At this time, Anji only felt that the money was lost, but the two-month salary was bought into this broken game and suffered. The people who watched those promotional videos before were boiling with blood, and when they really came in, they found that they were actually the prey.

However, for a deep player like Pang Tai, the more he suffers, the more it proves that the money is worth it. Playing this kind of hardcore game, it's impossible to cut melons and vegetables frantically. What's the fun of that?

“Hardcore is very hardcore. I thought I could become a beast hunter too, but it turned out that beasts a***e people. This contrast is too great. ”

Anji closed the survival manual with a wry smile. Perhaps the current mode is too difficult, and this frustration is a bit uncomfortable.

Pang Tai took off the foreleg of a half-baked cave lion cub from the campfire. This thing has not been seasoned in any way. Of course, it is not comparable to the delicacies in other games, but it is not difficult to swallow.

“I thought you would fall in love with this kind of fully immersive simulation. After all, you have grown up in the digital world since you were a child, and it is inevitable that you will lack some real experience. ”

An Ji spread out his hands and said he didn't understand: “Then I'm very curious. Why is it an uncle like you who likes this kind of hard-core interactive experience? It stands to reason that you have a lot of experience in the real world, and you should be more inclined to fanciful fantasy games. ”

“Well, this is obviously our preconceived assumption. I think whether it is a fantasy category or a hardcore series of games, only if you are really willing to devote yourself to it can you feel its charm. ”

“Maybe the times are different, and our perceptions are indeed different. ”

“Of course, you haven't experienced the great drought of the 1950s, and you don't have any concept of the word survival. "Pang Tai sighed and said, “I found that young people born in the Chaozhou Era do not have any material troubles, but they still have no spiritual pursuits." ”

“Don't beat around the bush to harm people. I just don't like this game very much for the time being. Don't go online and pull it so far. ”

Pang Tai couldn't help laughing when he heard this: “Don't rush to take a seat, in fact, we are the same kind of people. ”

“What kind of person? An Ji frowned: “You mean a teenager with Internet addiction?" ”

“I'm not kidding you, let's be serious. "Pang Tai said, grabbing a large handful of snow to extinguish the bonfire, the two of them exited the current game server and came to a bustling Cyber commercial street.

Although it is more than three o'clock in the morning in the current server time zone, the streets are still very lively. Since brain science has broken most of the secrets of human sleep, the word staying up late has also been forgotten.

Even if there is no brain-computer interface implanted, people can still use the graphical sleep aid program of VR devices, with the assistance of some medicines, to reduce the daily sleep time to about three hours.

Pang Tai had just eaten half a raw barbecue on the ice sheet, and he was in a hurry to find something to change his taste.

The two came to a music restaurant and checked the menu indiscriminately. Then he clicked on a Flamenco classical guitar finger and continued the topic just now.

“For example, you use the word 'Internet addiction’. Although I don't know when it was eliminated, no one has used it since the concept of digital citizenship appeared. ”

“Of course I know this. Recently, for some unknown reason, it has become popular again. I remember it was a popular word in Professor Zhang's era. ”

“Yes, that's right, the words of the beginning of the century. "Pang Tai found an old photo from the Internet. The photo shows a kind of physical service industry shop called an Internet cafe. People sit in front of rows of display screens, selling time to use the Internet.

“Look at these people who were surfing the Internet in Internet cafes at the beginning of the century. Do you think of anything? ”

“Isn't this similar to the current vr interactive hall? ”

“It looks a lot like it, but it's not the same thing at all. "Pang Tai waved his hand again and again.

“Although there was no meta-universe framework built in that era, let alone the concept of digital citizens, they could all integrate into the virtual world through a small electronic screen. ”

“This is the origin of the word ’Internet addiction', right? "An Ji smiled bitterly, but he didn't think it was appropriate.

“It's not so much Internet addiction, it's better to call it a 'digital believer’. ”
