Let you make games, you directly shoot blockbusters?.

Chapter 372 You are the real big shot

"Boom--"

A series of loud noises echoed in my ears.

Feeling his body sinking, Old E's hormones surged in an instant even though he knew he was playing a game.

It was as if he had turned into an actor in a special effects film and jumped from a high-rise building, breaking the glass.

Overhead, there were frantic strafing from high-altitude fighter planes, and glass shattered into countless pieces, reflecting the red light of the warning in the heavy rain.

"boom!"

Finally, there were two muffled sounds.

Old E and Jack landed inside the building, and the picture in front of them flickered wildly, flickering on and off as if the monitor was broken, with screen blur and distortion.

Anyone can feel the intensity of the impact.

"Damn it, this sense of immersion is so strong, I thought I was going to be thrown to death."

Old E struggled to get up from the ground. He felt that controlling the character had become much more difficult, and he didn't know if the prosthetic body had been broken.

This sense of reality, as well as the ups and downs of the plot just now, made the audience unable to stop exclaiming.

"It's so awesome! This part will directly make you a god!"

"The first-person perspective experience is so cool!"

"It's so exciting!"

"Blockbuster movies have a sense of sight."

"It made me nervous."

"It should be fun to play on the virtual side, right?"

"I bought this game!"

From the moment you sneak into the hotel, the plot of the entire game has been high-energy and full of twists and turns.

It progresses layer by layer to the end, and it is even more direct, inserting this exciting high-altitude escape story.

Regardless of the visual expression or the matching of BGM, they are all top-notch, and there is no fault at all!
[Jack: Oh my god!I've been shot! 】

[V: Jack, you’re bleeding! 】

[Jack: Leave me alone later and see how the chip is doing... The integrity of the biochip is 94%. This piece of shit is falling! 】

After a fall, not only Jack was shot, but also the box containing the biochip was damaged, and its integrity was declining.

It can be said that this operation really cost the wife and soldiers.

finally.

Old E contacted another outside line, Evelin.

I learned that this kind of chip cannot be exposed to the outside and can only be inserted into the data slot on one of them.

You must know that that is the most critical part of their body, equivalent to the existence of a data center.

If something goes wrong, it will be like a virus in a computer and it will be paralyzed directly.

[V: What’s your idea? 】

[Evelin: The chip cannot be isolated from the outside world alone and must be kept in a safe environment! 】

[Jack: Forget it, someone has to do it. 】

Just finished speaking.

Jack opened the box directly, inserted the chip into the data slot on his neck, and leaned his back against the wall, shaking violently.

"Hiss... good brother!"

Seeing that Jack did not hesitate to put himself in danger, Old E couldn't help but be moved.

Although these brothers have only been together in the game for half a year, he really dares to get involved if something happens, and he will directly stand up to them.

It is precisely because he has always been by his side to cooperate that Old E feels so at ease every time he takes action, just like the big brother who leads the way into the Night City for the first time.

【Jack...?Are you OK? 】

Seeing Jack's shaking body, Old E chose the dialogue option to ask about the situation.

[I don’t know... maybe... I don’t feel any difference. 】

Jack stumbled to his feet while holding his wound, and contacted the artificial intelligence in the car through the radio.

[Drive a taxi, we'll be out right away, get ready, do you understand? 】

After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the passage.

They must escape from here as soon as possible.

Old E didn't think much, got up and followed him, using hacking technology to hack the camera and deal with the enemies along the way.

Finally, after several rounds of gun battles and assassinations, he successfully entered the elevator and went downstairs, and fled the scene in an armored car.

[Artificial Intelligence: An enemy aerial vehicle has locked onto us. 】

[V: Leave it to me! 】

"It's over, isn't it?"

Old E cursed, stuck his head out the window again, and fired at the hover car chasing behind him, staging a desperate chase.

Not easy.

After crossing a few streets.

Only then did he blow up all the hover cars and get back into the car.

But at this moment, he discovered that Jack was leaning on the back of the seat, holding his abdomen with one hand in great pain.

[V: Why is your face so white, Jack? 】

[Jack: Look...I just said that we...can't die...]

Jack looked up and forced a smile.

Originally, Old E and the audience were relieved when they heard this.

As a result, the artificial intelligence in the car suddenly sounded.

[According to the medical diagnosis, Mr. Wells' condition is critical. I recommend that you keep Mr. Wells awake. 】

Holding grass?

What's the situation?
Everyone's expressions suddenly changed.

Just now, they thought it was just an ordinary injury and not fatal.

After all, the technology in Night City is so advanced, and everyone is equipped with prosthetic limbs, so they won't die so easily.

But why does it look a little bad?

was thinking.

Three dialogue options popped up in front of Old E.

He chose the second one without hesitation.

[V: Drive faster! 】

[Artificial intelligence: I have tried my best. 】

[V: You have to hold on, Jack, do you hear me? ! 】

It could be clearly felt that the male protagonist V's voice was a little panicked, and he helped Jack lie down on the backrest.

As a result, as soon as Jack raised his head, he saw blood flowing from the corner of his mouth and a distracted look in his eyes.

[Jack: I...uh...heard...]

[V: Think about it, we can do big business in the future, don’t fucking sleep on it!Did you hear that Jack? ! 】

[Jack: Yes, you are going to make a fortune, brother, I have a feeling...]

[V: No, Jack, it’s us who are going to get rich—it’s you and me! 】

Seeing Jack's chest rising and falling and coughing violently, V's voice became more urgent, with a hint of trembling.

Jack didn't answer right away.

Instead, he leaned on the seat with blank eyes for a while, and then turned to look at him as if he was having a flashback.

[Jack: This biochip... take it and treat it as if it's for me. I must become a big shot...]

After he finished speaking, he raised his arm with difficulty, pulled out the biochip from his neck, and put it into V's data slot.

Old E only felt that the scene in front of him was blurred for a moment.

By the time he reacted, Jack was already motionless on the spot, staring at him with his open eyes.The scenery outside the window keeps passing by.

Jack, however, maintained his previous actions and became completely silent.

audience:? ? ?
died?

just die?
The audience in the live broadcast room suddenly exploded.

A flood of barrages emerged like crazy.

"No, wait a minute."

"Why did you die?"

"Isn't this too sudden!?"

"No! I can't take it!"

"What the hell kind of plot is this??"

"It was obviously fine just now."

Yes.

It was fine just now.

I said wait until you make a lot of money this time, then go to the afterlife club to have fun.

He said that one day he would become a legend in Night City, with a great reputation and endless wealth.

But now.

It all melted away.

Completely dissipated with Jack's death.

When Old E came back to his senses, he suddenly realized.

This partner who has always been with me, who likes to laugh and laugh, has a bit of a bad mouth, and lives so happily every day, is gone...

This sudden departure did not have a big impact on him, but he felt like a big stone was blocking his chest.

Remember before departure.

They had drank together in the Afterlife Club.

The wine there is so special that it will be named after a regular customer, provided that the regular customer has died.

At that time, Jack joked about naming it after himself and named his favorite recipe.

One shot of vodka, on the rocks, lemon juice, ginger beer, and a little love.

result.

It all happened so quickly.

[V: You are the real big shot, Jack. 】

Looking at Jack sleeping, the protagonist said something in a low voice.

this moment.

The entire live broadcast room was silent.

There is an indescribable complex emotion.

There is no such rage as when Rebecca was killed in the CG, and there is no crying when other important characters in the game are knifed.

Or.

Start by entering Night City.

They have already realized that they are entering a road of no return, and death is only a matter of time.

or.

Because he's just a game character?
Old E can't tell clearly.

Other players who have played here can't tell clearly.

With heavy hearts, they continue to move forward with the plot.

Being betrayed by his employer, escaping from death, being hunted by Huangban Company, and taking in various private goods to make money, everything seems to have remained unchanged and has returned to the way it was before.

This has confused many people.

Is it because I am too cold-blooded?

Or has the prehistoric character development gotten worse?

until.

An analysis post appeared on the forum.

Only then did they finally wake up completely.

"What I lost was not only my partner, but also the last warmth in Night City. 》

"I don't know if you all feel this way. During those days when I walked through the Night City with Jack, I had a wonderful feeling. You knew the city was dirty and dark, but you were able to carry an unstoppable feeling. It was a really wonderful time to face it with passion.”

"Then Jack died and everything was different."

"Without this humorous and optimistic partner, when you are alone, you will find that it is difficult to find the passion for joy in hardship in this city. It is like a certain part of Night City is following Jack. As if dead."

"After Jack's death, we still have a long way to go. We will meet many people in this city, but you will find that everyone else you meet has more or less negative emotions about life. Such as contempt, anger, and helplessness, you will never meet someone with a strong passion for life like Jack."

"So in your eyes, this city has changed, just like removing the fig leaf, exposing all the disgusting things."

"But in a city like this, Jack still maintains his love for optimism and hope, and lives happily every day. Yes, you are the real big shot, brother."

It ends with the word "brother".

Everyone who had read it was silent.

At the same time, I suddenly realized why I always felt like something was missing when I played games later. It turned out to be because of this.

Jack's death.

It's not as exciting as other games.

But it will quietly affect everything in your future days, casting another shadow on this city of night.

It's like a newbie who has gone through the novice guidance period and has to face the dangerous society alone, and finally truly sees the indifference of Night City.

"This...is the real role-playing."

The players couldn't help but sigh.

I was surprised by the deep core of this game.

This role play was different from all the role plays they had played before.

Other role-playing is mainly about the growth of personal attributes and abilities.

But 2077 is the growth of the mind.

Through step-by-step guidance, you can understand this ugly world, get in touch with it, and adapt to it.

Just like Jack.

Live every day optimistically.

“The design of this game is really awesome!”

"The background of the prehistoric world is so powerful!"

"The more I see it now, the more it looks like the real world."

"There is no comparison. Other competing products are completely different from 2077."

"Isn't this a max-level boss massacring Novice Village?"

"It can be called a masterpiece of the ninth art!"

After playing and understanding this game, players can no longer calm down and instantly regard it as a treasure.

Coupled with the game graphics that look like epic blockbusters, many players were shocked and attracted to this game.

And this time.

Sales have increased even more rapidly than when the game was first released.

In just one week, the sales data of Sony's "Mechanical Walker" exceeded 900 million, reaching [-] million!

As soon as this news comes out.

Major manufacturers were in an uproar.
