Cyber Heroes

2030, a certain day.

Many days later, Xiangshan walked to that lounge again.

Jing Hongtu seemed to have a lot more time than him. Although it was just lunch break, he had obviously been here for a while. He was grabbing a controller, but the game on the screen in front of him wasn't running.

The game console belongs to David. The review process in the United States is a little looser, so David carried a home computer and put it in this common room last year. What is surprising is that Jing Hongtu occasionally comes to play with his hands.

Seeing Xiang Shan there, Jing Hongtu smiled, greeted him and sat down suddenly, then handed out the handle and rubbed his forehead: "You are getting old after all. You will get tired after concentrating for a while. This is indeed a thing for you young people. .”

Xiangshan didn't refuse and grabbed the handle. What Jing Hongtu is playing is a new linear flow RPG, the kind of running through the map to kill monsters and defeat bosses, which is very traditional.

But after Jing Hongtu rested for a while, he couldn't help but said to Xiang Shan: "Stop, Xiao Xiang, stop for a moment. Do you see that corner? That corner on the side. That door, there is equipment inside. It's best to take medicine. Fill up your blood."

Xiangshan was hesitant, but he still did it. Sure enough, he saw the treasure chest and found a pretty good sword inside.

Then a monster whose level was slightly higher than the character did fall on the roof.

After Xiang Shan chopped down the monster, he looked at the newly acquired weapon in surprise: "A weapon with special damage bonus to dirty magic - Teacher Jing, have you read the guide?"

"No, I can see the designer's thinking. The appearance of such a patch in this place on the map seems a bit abrupt and slightly different from the usual style of the scene."

Xiang Shan was a little confused: "Is it really that simple? Why do I think this door is so harmonious in this background?"

"You don't understand the thinking behind this map." Jing Hongtu said.

In 1982, a pair of good friends were competing in a flying shooting game in a Las Vegas arcade. The strong man among them felt that he had been an excellent air force pilot and had unparalleled reflexes and shooting skills, so he should be able to crush his opponents. But he never beat his nerdy friend in a single round.

The ex-pilot asked the nerd how he did it. The nerd said that he had completely mastered the behavior of the enemies in this game. He could understand the logic behind the actions of these enemies and the design, and said that it only took him two weeks to write more interesting enemies.

The former pilot believed his friend's words and bet his fortune on the nerd.

This is how Sid Meier, the most legendary game planner and artist who manipulates game values, took his first step.

"Compared to the geniuses in this industry, what am I? I just play for a longer time - there must be monsters in the water in front of me, so I need to change my equipment to fight. What is the restraint relationship in this game? Oh, I will change to the one I just got. "

Xiangshan asked while controlling the character: "You played early?"

"When it was first opened, before the first batch of rich people were born, I was one of the people with the highest living standards in the Republic. It's almost the same now." When Jing Hongtu said this, he didn't feel proud, but rather had a hint of helplessness. : "When I was young, I also followed fashion. I was one of the first people in the Republic to get a smartphone. Naturally, I was also the first person to touch a home computer. When this thing was introduced, I was already working and divided. There is no noisy parents in the house, so naturally I want to carry one home. Then my sister-in-law stopped letting my nephew come to my house to play - why did he die? "

Xiang Shan read the file: "Then I have been playing for a long time and am I as good as you?"

"Maybe. The key is to experience more. This is my hobby." Jing Hongtu said: "It's like a martial artist can predict the opponent's boxing path, you know. When you know that the opponent will follow a specific logic, Then when you see the logic, you will have a tacit understanding."

Xiang Shan nodded and walked to the pool again.

Then died again.

"You are absent-minded." Jing Hongtu shook his head, "I can't tell you are happy at all."

"Should I be happy?"

"You should." Jing Hongtu nodded: "You now know how to recruit your own 'confidants'. That's a good thing."

Xiang Shan was stunned: "My confidant..." Then he remembered the little girl he captured yesterday. Xiang Shan shook his head and said with a wry smile: "You are talking about that little one. What kind of 'confidant' is that? She is still a child."

"Child? A child can't do such a thing." Jing Hongtu shook his head: "The permanent members of the Security Council reached consensus, and all member states were almost involved. This is not something a child can do - and she She must be over sixteen. Obviously she doesn’t count as a child.”

"Not over eighteen. A minor." Xiang Shan said: "She should go to college like a normal person, make a few friends of the same age, find some normal hobbies, try everything... and cultivate it A sound personality. Instead of being the so-called 'confidant' of a bureaucrat like me."

Jing Hongtu laughed out loud.

Xiang Shan pressed the pause button: "Is there something wrong with what I said?"

"Sound personality..." Jing Hongtu shook his head: "Even after several expansions, our country's undergraduate rate is only 30%. Counting junior colleges, it still can't reach 60%. You mean our country has 100% Is it impossible for a young man in his forties to have a sound personality? Even if you are from Peiping, this is too much to stand up and talk without hurting your back. I don’t know the suffering in the world."

Xiang Shan said anxiously: "That's not what I meant..."

"I know, you don't mean that." Jing Hongtu said, "And I can probably guess what you mean. That little girl knew right away that her life was unfortunate, and she was exposed to some advanced things while growing up. , the behavior is very extreme..."

Xiang Shan was a little surprised: "You know all this? Only her name and age have been disclosed so far, right?"

"Aren't you talking nonsense? How could a child who is truly cared for by his parents get into such a thing?" Jing Hongtu shook his head: "He is only seventeen years old... his technical level is really high. My seventeen-year-old I didn’t even use the computer much at that time. The security level of this place is generally inaccessible.”

Xiang Shan put down the controller, lowered his head and said, "I'm really confused, Teacher Jing. I really feel that a person's green years shouldn't be here..."

"Hypocritical." Jing Hongtu sneered: "Look at our ages. In my eyes, you are all in your 'green years'. Should I say, 'Xiao Xiang, you are still young and should go out and have fun'?"
