I just want players to save money, but I was made the richest man

The moment the name of the game "Minecraft" was revealed, all the voices in the audience were silenced.

At this moment, a gentle piano sound slowly sounded.

The soft sound of the piano is like white noise that washes away the dust on a rainy day, which is comforting.

But there is also a bit of loneliness.

Then, the screen lit up again.

What appeared in front of everyone's sight was a scene completely made up of stacked mosaic squares.

Everything you can see here is square and composed of pixels.

To be honest, most people at the scene were not able to accept this scene the first time it appeared.

Because it really resembles what it looked like in the early 1980s, when the game industry was just beginning to develop, and it didn’t even have the computing power to present a clear composition.

But today's technology has been advancing rapidly, and the computing power of chips has also undergone qualitative changes. All kinds of delicate and exquisite character modeling are rampant around the world.

But before you question this game.

You need to first see which company it is from.

Ready Player One has been deeply bound to the development of games in this era.

Even if the games released by this company are inferior at first glance, you can still have some expectations for them.

Soon, accompanied by soothing piano music, a square-headed guy wearing a light blue top and dark blue pants appeared on the screen.

The caption tagged his name, Steve.

No one explains why Steve is here.

No one told Steve what to do.

There is no task guidance, reminder, or even the most basic guidance.

Nothing.

The world also seems to be beyond the horizon.

But Steve seemed to have ideas of his own.

He took action.

He stretched out his square arm and started chipping away at the trees nearby.

There was a sound effect accompanied by the sound of trees being chopped down.

After about five or six seconds, Steve managed to get a piece of wood.

Of course, this wood is also a square, regular rectangle.

After obtaining the wooden block, Steve opened a simple interface.

Wooden blocks were placed on top of the synthetic panels.

One log was quickly dismantled into four pieces.

After filling the 2*2 synthesis board with four pieces of wood again, Steve got a 3*3 synthesis table.

Just place it on the ground, stretch out your right hand and click on it to turn it on.

Then Steve went to pull out some more logs.

Open the crafting table and put the log into it.

Break it into several pieces of wood.

This time, there were some changes in his approach to composition.

Steve took out two wooden blocks and arranged them up and down. In the synthesis result column on the right, he got 4 slender wooden sticks.

He took everything out.

Then, the resulting pattern changes again.

This time, he placed three wooden blocks in the upper left corner of the 3*3 synthesis column.

Place two sticks in the center so that they look like an axe.

Then, I really got a wooden axe.

When this picture appears.

There was already a commotion of whispers in the originally quiet audience.

"ah?"

"Is this okay?"

"This means that what kind of props can be obtained by placing them in the synthesis table?"

"Si Guoyi, this setting is a bit novel...it's something I haven't seen before."

“Let me just say it, you can always trust Ready Player One and Gravograph!”

"Then what if I put a breast on top... Uh-huh! Why are you covering my mouth if you're not a buddy!"

"Shh, watch the promotional video carefully and don't interrupt for just a moment."

"To be fair, it's not easy for you to show off 3*3, right?"

"No, we really had a serious discussion."

When the audience was whispering among themselves.

In the display screen, Steve followed the same pattern and started to make a four-piece set of land reclamation.

A wooden sword can be made by placing two wooden blocks in the first and second squares in the center, and placing a wooden stick in the third square at the bottom.

The pickaxe is more vivid. Just focus on the first row covered with wooden blocks, place a wooden stick in the middle of the second row and the third row, and you're done.

Then there is the shovel, 1 wooden block + 2 wooden sticks.

The improvements brought by these wooden tools are also huge.

Originally, when Steve first pulled the tree with his hands, it might take up to five or six seconds to knock off a piece of wood.

But with the axe, this time was drastically shortened to two or three seconds.

Therefore, at this stage.

Everyone also believes that "Minecraft" is actually an alternative variant of a monster-killing and upgrading game.

Changed the style of painting and changed the way to obtain weapons.

And Steve also has a health bar, an experience bar, and even a satiety level.

All kinds of elements are inseparable from killing monsters and upgrading.

But I have to say that this method is very novel.

If you need weapons, you can make them yourself. You can make as many as you want. As long as you have the materials, you will never worry about running out of weapons.

But with the subsequent screen display, everyone found that this game does not seem to be as simple as imagined.

After acquiring the basic tools, Steve quickly started gathering things.

Wood, stones, weeds, seeds.

Occasionally, when I see some pink Peppa pigs, cows and sheep, I will rush up and slash them with my sword, killing them all to obtain meat and wool.

Then, he started planning his own little home.

The site chosen is not far from the forest, so you don’t have to travel far to collect trees.

There is a small pond next to it, and not far away are the angular snow-capped mountains.

Stone serves as the base to build the house, and the walls are made of wood.

Then decorate a series of interiors.

During the construction of the house, the video uses a high-speed fast-forward method and occasionally uses a distant third-person perspective.

You can see the sun and moon alternating in the sky, and the stars moving around.

In the dead of night, Steve would choose to sleep until he got up early the next morning, roast a piece of pork, and continue working after eating. Occasionally, he would need to go out when the materials were not enough.

It looks like you are watching someone's wilderness survival content.

As the house progresses, it is built faster and faster.

At this time, the audience in the audience thought that this game was a construction game.

To achieve a purpose by building something.

Soon, Steve's cabin was built.

There is a three-story building. There is a living room on the first floor with a wooden coffee table and an open kitchen with a tool [smelting furnace] disguised as a natural gas stove built into it.

After ascending the spiral wooden staircase to the second floor, there is a bedroom belonging to Steve. When you open the door, you can see a soft bed made of wool.

There is also a painting opposite the bed, which was made after taking a photo of a sunflower outside the house, then composited into a frame and hung on the wall.

The third floor is an open-air balcony. Although there is nothing, this cabin that Steve built himself makes people feel fulfilled.

After the building was completed, there was still no such thing as a main line reminder.

But Steve always seems to have a plan.

After having his own small building, Steve started busy synthesizing various tools, and started raising, planting, mining, and upgrading weapons.

Iron buckets for water, shears for shearing sheep, and flints for lighting fires.

Steve's hard-working figure kept teleporting in front of his house through fast forwarding, looking a little ghostly.

But visible to the naked eye, the environment around Steve's home has also improved.

Steve dug some gravel cubes back into the small pond after a long trip, and then planted sugar cane along the water.

When sugarcane matures, sugar can be extracted.

A large piece of farmland was opened up in the front yard of the house, filled with fruits and vegetables.

In a fenced-in livestock farm in his backyard, he used a synthetic platform to make a fence and raised some pigs, cows, chickens and sheep in it. Now they are slowly breeding, and Steve's food has been improved.

In addition, the east side of the home was transformed into a shooting range by Steve. After obtaining bows and arrows from the monster archer Xiaobai who would be randomly spawned at night.

When Steve has nothing to do, he occasionally goes to the shooting range to pass the time.

As the days passed, Steve began to be dissatisfied with collecting vegetables with his hands every day, nor was he satisfied with running back and forth with his legs.

He began improving his family's farmland.

Following the physical law of water flowing to lower areas, the farmland was transformed into a terraced structure.

And a small square pit was dug in the lowest place to recover water.

In this way, when the crops are mature, you only need to stand at the highest point and pour a bucket of water.

The water will wash away all the mature crops and make its way down the ladder. The water may overflow the fence, but the crops will not.

Eventually, it will all flow into the pothole at the lowest point along the water flow, and then the vegetables can be harvested with one click.

As for the trouble of running back and forth, you can also use the iron ore dug from the mines to refine iron rails, and then synthesize them into a mine cart. You can sit on the mine cart and tap lightly to move along the rails. Where you want to go.

Occasionally.

Steve will also leave home and embark on adventures.

You will pick up some lost treasure chests along the way, and after opening them, you will get some rare enchanted books or precious gems.

These things can be exchanged for rare props in a village not far away from the villagers who only know how to say, "Uh-huh."

One day, while digging into the mine, Steve discovered a stone that shone with red light.

This stone is capable of extracting a rare mineral called redstone.

In "Minecraft", redstone is like electricity, with powerful energy output.

With these things in hand, Steve seemed to have opened the door to a new century.

He began to study these circuit-like things and applied them in his own life.

If you lay redstone powder all the way along the track, then use a redstone repeater to control the turns and corners.

After getting on the minecart and turning on the switch, it is as fast as taking a high-speed train.

For things like watering and harvesting vegetables, you can also spread redstone powder under the farmland, and then make slight improvements to extend the 'circuit' all the way to your house.

Once the crop is mature, all it takes is the flip of a switch.

The water above will automatically overflow. After collecting the vegetables, it will flow back into the water circulation system deep underground.

With the red stone, Steve can do more.

He can use redstone powder to match repeaters and switches, and then make music boxes one by one to pave a musical path.

You can also use red stone to install a power elevator for your six-story building.

The further back you go, the more Steve can do.

Pistons, redstone lamps, emitters, pressure plates, trap boxes, and a series of other things.

Steve even tried to develop an airplane, but the camera didn't tell the audience whether he succeeded or not.

The environment around Steve has also transformed from the original Iron Age to the energy age with modern technology.

Of course, during this process, in addition to developing new things, Steve would occasionally go out on adventures to change his mood.

He will take a small boat to a certain location in the middle of the sea, dive into the mysterious sea, and fight with the dangerous octopus.

You will also find an ancient ruins in the wind and sand.

Even in a lush forest, as long as you dive deep enough, you may encounter huge trees with unique shapes, and there is a world inside them.

And when he finally dug underground, Steve discovered the indestructible obsidian, and discovered that flames and obsidian can produce wonderful reactions.

A door to the lower world of hell was opened for him.

And in that dark endland, the huge ender dragon roared in the sky, declaring its territorial sovereignty to Steve.

Although he went through many dangers, Steve always came back safe and sound every time.

When he returns home, the puppy he has adopted since the beginning of the game will come to greet him with its tail wagging excitedly, like a hero returning home in triumph.

Steve took the puppy to the rooftop of his cabin.

One person and one dog looked at the orange sunset on the horizon.

In the last scene of the picture, the camera slowly zooms out.

Steve patted the puppy's back gently as the camera moved up to the sky.

The name "Minecraft" appears again, complementing the starry night sky.

At this point, the entire promotional video, which lasted less than 10 minutes, came to an end.

But all the audience at the scene seemed to have been tapped in the dumb acupoints, staring blankly and quietly at the big screen.

The huge venue, packed with tens of thousands of people, was so quiet that one could hear the drop of a pin.

After a long time, I didn’t know where the applause came from.

But soon, the entire venue was covered.

What followed was thunderous applause from tens of thousands of people, as dense as a shower.

In the end, the excited faces of tourists from all over the world turned into cheers in their native dialect.

Although at this time, players from all over the world came here because they didn’t understand the language.

But the content of their shouts was extremely consistent.

Ready Player One!

Ready Player One!

Ready Player One! !

Electronic Arts CEO Peter Chu, who originally thought he was a sure winner, witnessed the promotional video of "Minecraft" with his own eyes.

His face became particularly ugly.

He is just bad, but not stupid.

Judging from the contents shown in the promotional video of "Minecraft"...

Its rich elements can completely make people ignore its mosaic-level painting style.

And after looking at it for a long time, I felt that this peculiar painting style was of its own and very magical.

If you tell me now that you have made Minecraft look exquisite, I would be a little uncomfortable with it.

It’s so magical!

A masterpiece!

This is definitely a masterpiece!

And the gameplay seems to have a little bit of everything, but it's different from all other game types on the market.

It’s not even an open world…

"Is he still creating a new school?" When he thought of this possibility, the sweat stains on Peter Zhu's forehead began to roll down uncontrollably, prompting him to wipe it with a handkerchief.

A game company that has been famous for five years, and in the process has added countless rich and interesting game types to the entire Blue Star.

And to this day.

Is the quality of engraving designers still rising? ? ? ?

"Fuck...what kind of monster have we provoked..." Peter Zhu said to himself, his voice trembling.

But anyway.

No matter how powerful the enemy is, they cannot give away the last glimmer of hope to others.

Soon, Peter Zhu had a new idea.

Let the host of E3 draw questions from the audience directly after the promotional video.

Just ask questions like how the promotional video of "Minecraft" is, what attracts you to it, and so on.

This game looks very interesting and exciting.

But to be honest, if you ask these ordinary players to summarize their impressions, they will not be able to summarize anything for a while.

I can only say some general words like 'looks interesting' and 'want to play'.

After randomly clicking on a few players, he then clicked on an Electronic Arts employee who had been installed by himself and pretended to be an audience member.

Anyway, let’s talk about the shortcomings of Minecraft.

For example, the picture quality is a bit unacceptable, there is no main line and it looks confusing, and there is no way to start, etc.

Believe me, most people in this society do not have strong opinions and following the crowd is the mainstream phenomenon.

At that time, it will definitely divert some players’ views on “Minecraft”.

Then do the same thing, and when you play the game, arrange for the navy to praise you fiercely.

As time goes by, it’s not impossible to win the “Most Anticipated New Game at E3” award.

Although the method is a bit cliché and a bit stupid.

But within a short period of time, the number one player would not be able to react.

After calling his subordinates, he had a chat with the OMI officials at E3.

Soon, the host came to the stage with a microphone in hand.

First, he said some commonplace words of praise for "Minecraft".

Then, randomly select passerby players and ask for their opinions.

The host glanced at the crowd.

I clicked on an ordinary-looking Chinese player.

He has a pot head, does not stand out in the crowd, and is inconspicuous.

The clothes are just a very ordinary black and white combination.

He seemed a little nervous and timid when he was called upon, which was almost the perfect interpretation of a passerby.

It's him!

I can't say anything nice at first glance.

"Hello, my friend." The official bilingual host of E3 from the United States switched to fluent Chinese in China and looked at passers-by with a smile.

"Do you like this game?"

"I like it," said the passerby.

But soon, the host's next question seemed to be a bit malicious, trying to label "Minecraft" with stereotypes such as "it exists in other games" and "it's not unusual."

"Is it because you can fight monsters, upgrade and slay dragons inside?" the host asked.

"No, it's because I can have a house of my own here." The passerby said holding the microphone in his hand.

The moment his words fell.

The entire venue fell into silence again.
