Play Game of Life

"Right, Captain.

"What is the route of the venue for this competition? Is there any route map for reference.

"Also...is there any danger in competing in the virtual world?"

Lu Zhixing suddenly thought that these questions must be confirmed in advance.

Zhou Ping smiled: "Dangerous? This is a virtual space, so of course there will be no danger in the real world. In games in the virtual world, the pain perception is similar to that of most virtual reality games, and will be strictly limited to about 5%.

"It doesn't matter if you get bumped or injured inside, otherwise, the organizer would not let you designers who have no parkour experience at all be the guinea pigs."

Obviously he would have misunderstood it, thinking that Lu Zhixing was afraid of injury or pain.

But in fact, how could Lu Zhixing be afraid of getting hurt? His parkour skills are close to perfection, even in the virtual world, as long as it is difficult for normal humans, he can completely hold it.

Lu Zhixing is mainly still thinking about his role as an "over-cautious parkour master".

If there are some additional dangers in this parkour, then Lu Zhixing can make full preparations in advance. The more dangers, the faster you progress through the roleplay!

Therefore, Lu Zhixing was a little disappointed when he heard Team Leader Zhou say "there will be no danger in the real world".

However, he soon realized that Team Leader Zhou's words seemed to have some room for special understanding: "Team Leader, you said there would be no danger in the real world, so... maybe there will be danger in the virtual world?"

Zhou Ping said with a "poof": "Can you still understand it like this? Why does it feel like you are looking forward to danger?

"Well, if you have to say something dangerous, you can't say it's not there at all.

"For example, some hacker hacked the server, the site suddenly cut off the network and power, and some unknown bug suddenly appeared in the deep world of 'Taiqing'... these are all dangerous.

"It's just that the probability of this kind of danger is extremely low, basically like winning five million in a lottery.

"Although the virtual reality technology in the deep world of 'Taiqing' is not yet fully mature, it is already very stable, and there have been no bugs for more than half a year.

"It is even more impossible to cut off the network and power, and the organizers have backup plans."

Lu Zhixing was a little disappointed: "Okay team leader, I understand."

Since there is no special danger, it is useless to get some extra performance progress. However, if you continue to use the cautious running method before, you should be able to increase your playing progress somewhat.

Zhou Ping said again: "Then I will send you the procedure of this competition, which contains a general introduction of the content of the competition. This thing must be kept secret and cannot be spread outside."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Zhixing looked at the game schedule sent by team leader Zhou.

The process of this competition is not particularly complicated, but compared with the previous motion capture competition, the scale is indeed much larger.

After all, the previous games were all played in reality.

The venues of the motion capture competitions held in various places are different. Some directly use the parkour competition venues, while others use the variety show venues. There are also individual cities with deep pockets who choose to directly build a dedicated venue.

But in any case, the scope of these venues will not be too large, at most it is similar to programs such as "XX Breaks Through Levels" or "XXXX Goes Forward".

Of course, considering that the contestants are all top parkour masters, the difficulty of the level will definitely increase in an all-round way, but the approximate scope of the venue remains unchanged.

But this year, due to entering the virtual world, the scope of the venue has been greatly expanded.

According to the introduction above, the venue for this competition is quite large, five times larger than the previous ones.

In the past, the venues in reality were basically a long strip with a length of about 130 meters to 150 meters, consisting of eight to ten levels.

This time, the venue in the virtual world roughly formed a ring shape, similar to a pentagon spiraling inwards. It was divided into five stages, each of which was more than 100 meters long, and a small checkpoint of more than 10 meters.

These small levels include different challenging levels such as climbing, cross-country, obstacle avoidance, and hanging jumps.

All runners start together and cannot have intense physical contact with each other, but it is allowed to use the field mechanism to attack other competitors.

In addition, there are clear regulations on the way to enter the virtual world.

Although it is in the virtual world, the officials still have to verify the identities of the contestants in reality.

When participating in the competition, the image of the contestants in the virtual world will be a complete replica of the real world. Not only physical fitness, but also the clothes and various equipment on the body.

After all, the more top players, the higher the requirements for various equipment. To be fair, everyone uses the equipment they are most familiar with.

In addition, this competition venue has restrictions on entry and exit. Entry requires specific equipment and keys. Except for the contestants, no one else can enter the virtual world. They can only observe the competition in real time through large screens and holographic projection equipment. .

Similarly, once a player is eliminated or injured on the field, they will immediately leave the field, lose their qualifications, and return to reality.

This is also to minimize the impact of various off-court factors on the players.

"You can bring your own equipment...then if I try to bring as much as possible, it should also meet the performance requirement of 'excessive caution'? Anyway, I don't need it.

"Okay, then it's settled! This time, anyway, it's an event that attracts a lot of attention, and the progress of the growth performance should be quite fast. If it goes well, maybe you can directly complete the performance of the parkour master."

Lu Zhixing began to prepare.

...

...

Wednesday, November 27.

The day of the motion capture competition.

Lu Zhixing took a taxi to the game site.

He still wears laser pointers, catnip balls and other equipment, and also wears shoes specially purchased by the company for parkour. However, compared with the previous parkour equipment, some differences have also been made.

For example, instead of carrying the satchel, he put the laser pointer and catnip balls in his pockets. Moreover, he no longer wore the black sweater and trousers that the company uniformly purchased, but changed into more popular clothes: white jacket, T-shirt and ordinary trousers.

Although Lu Zhixing's equipment looks like a layman at this time, it may slow him down a little in the process of parkour and climbing, but it helps to distinguish his image from the mysterious parkour master open.

Anyway, it's just a comparison with other designers, there is no pressure.

In addition, he also brought the key of his virtual space. Although this thing is mostly useless, it is also related to the deep virtual world of "Taiqing", maybe it can also slightly increase the progress of "overly cautious" acting?

Anyway, there is no loss if there is no increase.

Half an hour later, Lu Zhixing got off the car.

At this time, his position is "Jinghai Virtual Reality Technology Research Institute".

Lu Zhixing found that there were many differences between the research institute and the research group he used to go to.

The location selection of the research group is basically influenced by the subjective opinions of the leaders of each group. For example, although the second research group is located in the prosperous area of ​​Jinghai City and is close to the buildings of several technology companies, it is not very eye-catching from the outside. , nothing fancy on the outside.

This is directly related to Zhou Ping's personal preferences.

But the Institute is different. The Jinghai Virtual Reality Technology Research Institute can be said to be the highest official research institution in Jinghai City, so it occupies a large area alone. From the outside, it looks similar to some high-tech industrial parks.

The interior space is very spacious, with various venues, many different types of laboratories, and a main office building with dozens of floors that looks quite grand.

The security guard at the gate, no, more precisely, it should be the guard. After confirming Lu Zhixing's identity, he let him go directly to the main building, and there will be a special person in charge of receiving him.

And before entering the main building, there is actually quite a complicated security check.

Lu Zhixing looked around and found no one else, so he walked towards the security inspection channel with peace of mind.

"drop!"

Sure enough, the security inspection equipment issued a warning sound.

"Hello, please take out the things in your pocket for further inspection." The staff in charge of the security check stopped Lu Zhixing very politely.

"No problem." Lu Zhixing took out his pockets one by one, including mobile phones, wallets, keys, and... laser pointers and catnip ball toys.

The structure of this catnip ball toy is very simple. There is a base to lock the catnip ball. There is a translucent plastic protective cover on the base, which can be buckled when not in use. There is a small ring buckle under the base, which can be put on the hand. or tied to a rope or a cat teaser.

The reason why Lu Zhixing specially bought this kind of catnip ball toy is because it can be worn directly on the finger and smelled at any time, which is more convenient.

Security officers flick through phones, wallets, keys, and finally stop at laser pointers and catnip ball toys.

"Is this...?" There was a puzzled look on his face.
