Infinite Mask Game

In the bright and spacious bedroom, Wei Miao took off her black helmet and sat up from the soft big bed.

The sun shone through the trees and windowsills, casting mottled shadows on the black and white checkered sheets. A row of exquisite figurines stood on the desk, and a 3D projection of a well-known VR game masterpiece was projected on the floor.

A lazy-looking girl was reflected in the mirror of the dressing table. She had medium-length hair that just reached her shoulders, with slightly curled ends. Her facial features looked ordinary at first glance, but after looking at her for a long time, she had a sense of smallness and delicateness. Her black hair made her skin look even whiter.

Wei Miao was wearing pink bunny pajamas, sitting on the edge of the bed, swinging her two little feet, and was in a daze for a while before she was ready to really get up.

After finishing her meal, she returned to the bedroom, holding her mobile phone, logged into a game platform account, wrote down her thoughts on the game "Masquerade", and posted a dynamic.

She is a game anchor. She has hundreds of thousands of fans because of her skills and does not show her face, but her old fans heard her sleepy voice and speculated whether she was a kidney-deficient otaku.

Wei Miao sneered at the attacks from old fans, and would only start a game to drag them in and kill them.

Being a game anchor is just an unknown side job for her. Her main job is to be an inconspicuous clerk in the family company. Except for the supervisor, no one knows that she is related to the chairman.

Her brother started his own business and is now the CEO of a listed company. Her cousin, who is two years younger than her, went abroad to study at a top university. Her cousin is the chairman's right-hand man. Her cousin is a well-known artist, and a painting can be auctioned for a good price.

Among the younger generations of the family, apart from her side job, it seems that she is the only one who is in a bad state.

The Wei family is a famous family in the local A province. There are many talents in the family, and the younger elites are seriously involuted. Due to the huge size of the family, there are so many aunts and uncles. While they are successful people, they don’t forget to compare their respective descendants.

When Wei Miao was a child, she witnessed her brother breaking down and crying in the middle of his math homework. The first thing her parents did when they entered the room was to scold him for not being able to endure hardships. Men don't cry easily. Only by studying hard can you win in the future. Look at the children of the relatives next door. They are so young that they have won many awards in various competitions.

So when other children were playing with toys, her brother was rushing to the piano class; when other children were watching cartoons, he was watching the news; when Wei Miao was playing with a teddy bear, he was making models...

I saw Wei Miao in her childhood as an emo, and decided to stay away from the cruel vortex of involution. I was a salted fish since I was a child, and I would not sit when I could lie down, and I would not stand out when I could be ordinary.

You can spur a genius to compete with the same top players, but for an "ordinary person", when he can only look up at the dust, no one will want him to chase the stars.

Therefore, Wei Miao was able to withdraw from the endless comparison, grow up as she wished, and get into the game that everyone thought was not a serious job, and become an anchor.

In a short time, her article "On the Possibility of Choosing the Straight Road in the Novice Guide" has received hundreds of likes and replies.

"The Novice Guide throws out a cruel choice question, but most people in the game are just the opposite of reality. They will pursue moral satisfaction that they cannot experience in reality - choose the straight road and sacrifice themselves."

"Another reason is that players are restricted from experiencing pain in ordinary VR. With the mentality that there are other players who share the same hardships with themselves - everyone dies together, it is inevitable to underestimate the 100% pain simulation that claims to be completely realistic. I believe that the friends who are very comfortable will try their best to avoid game death in the future."

"And in the trade-offs between the left and right roads, people with choice difficulties may just give up and choose the straight road..."

In the comments below, some people also analyzed the possibility of choosing the left and right roads in an orderly manner, and several serious people started a discussion.

There are already tens of millions of comments on the post on the official website. It is somewhat incredible that it has gained such popularity at the beginning of the service.

"Masquerade" is a buyout online VR game for sale worldwide. The price is affordable, only 500 yuan in federal currency, including the cost of helmet equipment, which is so low that people doubt its quality.

It is said that an internal closed beta test was conducted before the server was launched. No real machine video was leaked, and no up claimed to have joined the closed beta test. It seems that the closed beta test does not exist at all. Some players suspect that it is here to cheat the popularity and actually postpone the ticket.

Even so, its popularity remains high. The root cause is that it has made unprecedented innovations in game mechanisms and gameplay.

First, "Masquerade" guarantees that it will not force krypton or liver. The only in-app purchase is non-attribute costumes. The core gameplay is the dungeon ranking system. Only one game can be ranked per day. There are tens of thousands of dungeons. The probability of queuing to the same dungeon is extremely low, and the plot has different endings due to the player's choice.

Second, abandoning the traditional career system and numerical stacking, everyone's initial attributes are the same, and the growth system uses [camouflage coefficient] [entry] and [identity marker], all of which are obtained through ranking dungeons.

Third, it claims to be a black technology VR technology comparable to military technology. A fully immersive experience, you only need a helmet to play, the sensory experience is completely realistic, including all kinds of pain, trampling the "Game Industry Convention" underfoot. What is jaw-dropping is that it still got the version number and went online in major game stores.

Fourth, it protects personal privacy so strictly that it practices the game concept characterized by "disguise". It vows not to obtain the player's real personal information, only scans and records iris features to ensure login uniqueness, and therefore specially developed an adaptive helmet, its sincerity is amazing.

In addition, there are many features waiting for players to explore.

"Masquerade" opened its public beta at 8:00 this morning federal time. Players must complete the login before 9 o'clock, otherwise the account will be invalidated. This is a simple task for Sunday.

Wei Miao entered the game on time, and when she exited the game, the time came to 9:10, but she clearly felt that the game time was very short.

Suddenly, a soothing mobile phone ringtone rang, and a look at the contact person was Zhong Ling, a colleague. She is also a game anchor, cute, and has good skills. The number of fans is twice that of Wei Miao. They met by chance at an event on the platform.

Wei Miao answered the phone, the expression on her face adjusted to a smile, the tone of voice rose, but her eyes were very calm: "Zhong Ling."

"Miao Miao, you should have played "Masquerade." Zhong Ling always speaks directly, "How do you feel?"

"It's a rare conscientious manufacturer. The content that I thought was just a pie in the sky has been realized." Wei Miao's lively voice was converted into electromagnetic waves and received by the other side.

"Emm... are you planning to live stream?" Zhong Ling asked the purpose of this call.

"It is said on the official website that there is no legal responsibility for any behavior in the game, and the player's information is completely confidential, but the disguise can be revealed on his own... Are you planning to live stream before the first game even starts?"

Wei Miao's words seemed illogical, with a hidden meaning of rejection.

"Most people will hesitate whether to reveal their disguise because of the initial concealment. If I live stream now, I will become one of the few people who eat crabs. As for the popularity, hehehe~" Zhong Ling was thinking on the other side.

Wei Miao still maintained a smile, even though the other party could not see it at all: "Then... I wish you a successful career in advance."

"Well~ I'm hanging up."

Wei Miao put down the phone, looked at the page of "the other party has hung up the phone", and thought for a moment.

She just reminded Zhong Ling of the dangers of live streaming in a subtle way, but Zhong Ling's mind was full of the soaring popularity. In this era where traffic is king, attention is linked to money. Perhaps, she noticed it but didn't take it to heart.

Legal exemption and complete disguise, these two terrible keys are enough to open the shackles given by morality and society and release a violent and dark beast.

Although this game is not labeled as "dark", it is deeper than all the dark backgrounds on the market, including apocalyptic, war, and human nature games, because it is a living person who interprets the story, not a pre-written plot that has been handed over to AI for execution.

Wei Miao is not good at persuading people, especially when this person has almost made a conclusion. Everyone needs to be responsible for their own actions.

She lay back on the bed in a "big" shape, stretched her waist, picked up the helmet beside her and put it on.

[Iris recognition in progress... passed, welcome back! ]

When she opened her eyes again, she was standing in front of the floor-length mirror, showing a gentle smile to the image of Mr. Gray Rabbit.

When creating a character, gender, ID, height and body shape (130-220cm) are determined by yourself. The most interesting thing is that you must choose a mask, and face-pinching experts can even make their own styles.

Wei Miao made changes to the basic rabbit mask to give it an anime style.

Ranking is the core gameplay of the game, and the "camouflage coefficient" is the core value of the game. At the settlement, the camouflage coefficient of 0 to 10 will be given according to the player's performance in the game.

When the camouflage coefficient reaches a certain value, you can participate in a higher-end dance party, which is generally speaking, "upgrading".

Currently, everyone is at the "mask" level.

All players have the same starting attributes, and the attributes are increased by the camouflage coefficient, specifically a 1:1 ratio increase. In addition, some "entries" can also increase attributes.

There is another ranking opportunity today, and the way to start the ranking is also very simple. There are detailed instructions on the official website, using scene interaction.

Wei Miao pulled the luxurious wooden chair in the corner to the mirror and sat down elegantly.

[Ranking matching...]

[The copy has been locked! I wish you a happy dance! ]

Wei Miao saw that his image in the mirror had changed.

In the mirror was a pale, tall, thin, blond young man, staring at her with calm lake-blue eyes. He was wearing a striped white shirt that was about the same color as his skin, with loose collar buttons on the cuffs, looking fragile, as if he could be easily torn apart.

He had a world-weary face, and his young face was expressionless, introverted, deep, and decadent.

Suddenly, he raised the corners of his mouth towards Wei Miao, nodded slightly, and his shy smile contained a hint of evil.

Wei Miao also smiled, and his disguised neutral voice was somewhat magnetic, gentle and pleasant: "Hello."

Darkness gradually engulfed the dressing room.
