Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 1305 New Game

The short-haired girl immediately came to her senses and said, "I played this game on the computer at the beginning. It has become popular abroad, but they are all computer games. I also accidentally saw a live-action version in Shanghai. The layout of the scene is exactly the same as in the game. I went there alone, I couldn’t play, I had to form a group to play, and several people cooperated.”

The long-haired girl immediately became interested and said, "At first I didn't believe it, I thought how could the game be played in real life! Later, after playing, I realized that it is really the same as in the game! Even the tools are exactly the same Yes, and the difficulty of the game has also been upgraded! On the computer, you can use the mouse and keyboard, but in the real game, you have to do it yourself, use your brain, and do it yourself! You also need to cooperate tacitly, which is quite difficult. We spent a few It took me an hour to walk out, but it is already a record! We still have our names in that game hall, and we are ranked No.6!"

Brother Young Master said disdainfully: "I've been overtaken a long time ago, and you are now ninth! Last time I went, I was an hour faster than you!"

The long-haired girl said unconvinced: "That's why you listened to the people in front and told you the secret! Otherwise, how could you be faster than us!"

Brother Young Master snorted coldly: "His mechanism is changing, it's useless to tell us, we rely on strength, understand? Strength!"

The hip-hop girl cut a cut and said: "Strength is a fart! It's not your credit. After entering, you know what a fart? You are like a fool. It's not Ali who tells you what to do, so you do what you want, no Ali is here, you can't get out!"

At this time, I saw that they all looked at a boy sitting in the corner, wearing high myopia glasses, wearing the most ordinary clothes, a turtleneck sweater, and the girl next to him was wearing make-up. The whole person was colorful and out of tune with him. But snuggled close to him.

Ali said: "Actually, it's not too difficult. If it weren't for his mechanism not being easy to use, I could go faster. I already feel that there is no fun there! After playing around, they don't change some fresh ones." organ."

Hearing this, I'm still at a loss, I don't quite understand, what kind of game are they talking about?How to play, how to win, how to lose?They talked for a long time, but I still didn't understand how to bring computer games to reality. You should know that the games I played were Age of Empires and Red Alert. I know all about the live version of CS, but the venue is outdoors, and it has nothing to do with our building!
I have always been full of curiosity about unknown things. Next, I tried my best to please the man with glasses called Ali. However, he was very straightforward and quickly understood his intentions, so he told me directly. , the address of the game hall, let me go and see it myself, and I will know after experiencing it for myself, how do I play?

As soon as we left, Yaoyang and I booked a flight ticket for the next morning, flew to Shanghai, and found that game hall. It’s not actually called a game hall, it’s called "Mysterious Exploration Travel Agency", and the exterior decoration looks like A theater, not a movie theater, but an old-fashioned theater. When we entered it, it was like a hotel. Immediately, a staff member came over to greet us, then handed us a drink, sat on the sofa, and asked about our plan to play. Which series of games?

Although the two of us have heard a lot from Ali, we still don’t quite understand the rules of the game and how to play it. Looking at the young people who keep coming in outside, we greeted the staff familiarly, and then we chose the theme , Walking into it, I couldn't help but have an idea that I am getting old.

In fact, I never realized this problem. I am in my 30s, and I still look very young. I used to walk on the campus of a university, and it is difficult for someone not to regard me as a student. Afterwards, I realized that I was really old, especially in terms of mentality, and my attitude towards things had also undergone a fundamental change. I was no longer impulsive, irritable, and even lost my temper.

When I am with these young people again, I feel that I am getting old, and my ability to accept new things is not good enough.

Yaoyang probably felt the same as me, so he asked me with some embarrassment: "Let's come here, don't you feel like you're in a children's paradise? You really don't fit in here! Or, let's go?"

I shook my head and said firmly: "The more young people play something, the more we should play it! Otherwise, how can we follow the pulse of the times?" Then I said to the staff: "Give us a brief introduction to the game. Rules, right? By the way, don’t you have an age limit here?”

The staff smiled and said: "No, as long as you have the ability to act and think, you can play from the age of 8 to 80! Of course, the game itself has some mechanical equipment, which is a little dangerous. We still recommend Children under the age of 18 must be accompanied by their parents."

I asked with an oh: "Then how to play?"

The staff briefly introduced how to play: "We have 4 series here, namely "Journey into Space", "Magic World", "Doraemon's Pocket" and "Zombie Horror". You can choose a route to play, go in Finally, there are some organs inside that need you to crack. It may require calculation, imagination, and memory. It is completed through group cooperation. After we enter by ourselves, we start timing. The less time we have to come out, the more rewards we will get. .If you can break the record, we have an extra reward!"

Yaoyang hummed and asked, "Then how do you charge?"

The staff immediately said: "40 yuan per person, unlimited time!"

Yaoyang let out a sigh and said, "Then if I play in it for a day, I will also charge 40 yuan?"

The staff smiled and said: "There are only two situations. One is that your IQ is really not suitable for playing this kind of game, so we will help you out. The other is that you have a certain disability and cannot walk. , then we don’t recommend you to go in!”

This is too polite to say, after all, Yaoyang's question is questionable, he is asking the question from the perspective of a business owner, but the staff will feel that he is provocative, and he has no sincerity to play.

I hurriedly said, "How many people do you usually need to form a team to play?"

The staff smiled and replied: "Usually there are 5 to 6 people, but you two can go in and try it out, and find the easiest one to play. Some of our customers can pass the level alone. In addition, We will give you a walkie-talkie so that when you really can't untie it, we will give you certain reminders!"

Yaoyang said cheerfully: "Then let's play with two of us!"

The staff hummed and said, "Then you can play this "Doraemon's Pocket". This one is relatively simple and suitable for beginners!"

Yaoyang was about to object, I held him back and said, "Let's just play with this!"

There is no protective equipment, just handed us a walkie-talkie, led us into a dark corridor, told us to go straight inside, we can see the first mechanism, Yaoyang and I walked carefully In front of a door, the door was gently pushed open, and what came into view was a Doraemon room, filled with some Doraemon toys and props.

The door behind him closed automatically, and if I pushed it again, it couldn't be opened anymore. Then I looked at the opposite door and pushed hard, but it couldn't be opened. There was a combination lock on it, and it seemed that it was about to be decrypted.

Soon we found clues on the table. The clues we provided were solved one by one. The door was quickly opened, and then we climbed upstairs through the narrow stairs. It was also a Doraemon room. Just didn't see a door.This time the lights in the room were much dimmed. The lights flickered on and off. I didn’t know what mechanism I stepped on. Music suddenly sounded in the room. Along with the music, a mirror on the opposite side suddenly lit up. A clown appeared from inside, looking at us eeriely. Sendi laughed, quite scary.Then, the lights went out, the clown disappeared, and the whole room was dark again.

I figured it out, we must have touched some mechanism when we just came in, and our hands didn’t touch anything, so it must be the mechanism on our feet. I told Yaoyang to be careful under his feet, and Yaoyang was so scared that he thought there was something on the ground Something, almost jumped up.

I said contemptuously: "Shanren Shandan, I'm telling you, when we just came in, we must have stepped on something, and the mirror will be bright!"

Yaoyang suddenly realized: "Ah, I just felt like I stepped on something, it's soft!" After finishing speaking, he rubbed his feet on the ground, and soon the mirror lit up again, music played, and the clown appeared in the mirror again to face him. Looking at us grinningly.

Only then did I see clearly that Yaoyang was standing on a cloth cushion, but after a while, the mirror went out, and the music also stopped, and fell into darkness again.

I hurriedly let Yaoyang come down, and stepped on it again, and sure enough, the mirror lit up again, and the music started to play, I hurriedly said: "There should be a touch switch under your feet, connected to a time relay, and it will have to be turned off in a while."

But as I spoke, the clown's facial expression changed, but it finally disappeared.

Back and forth several times, as long as we talk, the clown's facial expression will change, but it will always go out, which makes us puzzled, Yaoyang is a little bit about to give up, and directly turns on the walkie-talkie, asking for a reminder .

Unknowingly, as the music played countless times, I unconsciously hummed a few words along with it, and then saw the clown turned into a smiling face, and I suddenly understood that this is the touch sensor of audio information, so let Yao Yang stepped on the cloth cushion, and then I sang loudly along with the music. Sure enough, the clown disappeared instantly, the room was brightly lit, and the mirror opened automatically like a door.

The subsequent organs were also very ingeniously designed, but these did not bother me as a science student, and I was studying automation and mechanical engineering, so we walked out soon.

I looked at the clock on the wall, we had an hour and a half.

The staff member who received us just came over, looked at the two of us with some admiration, and praised: "I didn't expect, you are so good! The clown, so far, you are the only one who came out without prompting." Customers! Your game time is also very fast this time, let me talk to our boss and see what rewards we will give you?"

I asked puzzledly: "Your rewards are not fixed yet?"

The staff said with some embarrassment: "Because so far, except for those customers who have played people, no one has achieved such good results, so I want to ask the boss to see what the reward is?"

The boss is here. To be precise, it is the lady boss. She looks like a young woman in her early 30s, who is about the same age as us. She is plump and well-dressed.

Smiling at the two of us, he said: "Congratulations, you spent an hour and a half and completed the entire game without any prompts. Our shop decided to reward you with a one-month package ticket. You can come and play at any time, but only for you. Two people!"

Yaoyang and I felt very disappointed when we heard this reward. The proprietress saw our disappointment and asked, "Why are you not satisfied with the rewards from my store?"

Yaoyang pursed his lips and said: "To be honest, don't be unhappy. This game is fresher after playing it once, but it's not interesting to play it a second time? You already know how to pass the trap, what else is there for fun? You This reward is to gather the number of people for you, right? Otherwise, you will look too deserted here, right?"

The proprietress didn't expect Yaoyang to be so straightforward, and hurriedly explained: "Every time you play, you will have a different feeling. Our equipment will randomly adjust the data, and the mechanism will also have different changes. The probability of playing exactly the same mode is almost the same. It's zero!"

Yaoyang still said uninterestedly: "It's not the same if you change the soup but not the medicine! Are there any other rewards?"

The proprietress had no choice but to say, "Why don't you try some other series for free?"

I refused: "No need, these mechanical devices are all similar, and it is not difficult to pass the level if you know the principle! How about this, can I take up a little time of yours, let's talk?"

The proprietress looked at me, she didn't lose confidence because of her mediocre appearance, she seemed to think that I had something to think about her, not only didn't feel disgusted, but was quite happy, so she nodded and said: "Okay, then let's treat you to coffee Right? Just treat it as a reward, do you think it will work?"

Yaoyang shrugged his shoulders, expressing that he didn't care, I nodded and said, "Yes, where are we going?"

The proprietress took us to a coffee shop next to their order, which was more elegant and interesting, with jazz music playing in it, and the environment was more comfortable. We sat down, and the proprietress added three cups of Blue Mountain coffee and began to chat with us up.
