Chapter 162 Immortal Sword Player
Ever since Wu Yufei saw the advertisement of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" from "Home Computer and Game Console" last year, he was deeply attracted by the details revealed in it. After that, the first time he got a new magazine was to read it. Is there any related situation? Finally, the accurate news was released on "Home Computers and Game Consoles" in February this year. "Legend of Sword and Fairy" will be launched nationwide on March 2, and a launch ceremony will be held next to the Haidian Theater. There will also be a chance to win a mystery gift.

With the definite news, Wu Yufei felt at ease for the time being. Although the price of 128 yuan in the advertisement was not cheap, it was still affordable for him who just got a lucky sum of money. After all, it was a domestic game. The player must support him.

From then on, Wu Yufei has to think about how many days are left before the opening ceremony. When it is really difficult, he will take out "Home Computer and Game Console" and look at the promotional screen of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" above. , lusting in the mind for a while, and having a dry addiction.

Just like this, March 3 finally arrived.This morning, Wu Yufei woke up at five o'clock in the morning, had a hasty breakfast, and came to the Haidian Theater excitedly with thirteen copies of "Great Unity" that he had prepared for a long time.Unexpectedly, someone was earlier than him. When Wu Yufei arrived in front of the Haidian Theater, there were already five people wandering under the stage of the "Legend of Sword and Fairy" premiere ceremony.

At seven o'clock, there were nearly a hundred players waiting on the scene. The staff finally appeared and began to distribute number plates so that they could pay for the games in sequence. number plate.

At eight o'clock, the host on the stage announced the official start of the game's launch ceremony. The people in the audience were in a commotion and crowded forward one after another. However, with the appearance of dozens of security guards, the order of the venue quickly returned to normal.Wu Yufei did not follow the crowd to squeeze forward, but tightly held the number plate in his hand, waiting for the official start of the sale.

Afterwards, the appearance of the game's main creative team made Wu Yufei a little excited. As a veteran player, he has played a lot of games, but he doesn't know how the game is made. It was the first time for him to be a game maker. Looking at the young faces on the stage and admiring their heroic appearance, Wu Yufei suddenly felt an urge to join.

Not long after, quizzes were played again on the stage.To be honest, Wu Yufei has no interest in this, so it's better to buy the game early and experience it.But when he saw so many exquisite gifts on the stage, especially those beautiful hairpins, he couldn't help being moved. "These hairpins are much more beautiful than the ones in the store. If you take them back and give them to my little sister..." Wu Yufei couldn't help but feel complacent as he thought about it.

Thinking of this, Wu Yufei forgot about buying the game, and devoted all his attention to the ongoing quiz on the stage.After listening to the two questions, Wu Yufei had a solid idea. The questions were very simple, and they were all from the previous magazine advertisements. It was not difficult for him.Afterwards, when the host picked another person, Wu Yufei fought hard, and when the fifth person was selected, he was lucky to be selected.

After Wu Yufei came to the stage, the host asked a question: "Where does Li Xiaoyao live?"

This question was very simple for Wu Yufei, and he answered without hesitation: "Shengyu Village, Yuhang Town!"

It turned out that Wu Yufei got the answer right, and under the understanding eyes of everyone, he picked up the fairy sword card that he had been observing for a long time, and walked off the stage happily.After waiting for a while, the quiz with prizes ended, and the game sales of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" officially started.

Under the command of the on-site staff and the maintenance of the security guards, the long-awaited players began to line up in front of the 26 sales points in the order of their number plates.According to the number plate in his hand, Wu Yufei was ranked first in the sixth row. In front of him was a desk for two, sitting a staff member who collected money and a member of the main creative team, and she was also a beautiful woman .

Wu Yufei handed the money to the staff next to him, and took the change of two yuan and the invoice, while the beautiful creator in front of him took the "Legend of Sword and Fairy" handed up behind him, picked up the signature pen and "swish" Write your name on the box.

After signing, the beauty creator handed "Legend of Sword and Fairy" to Wu Yufei with both hands, and said, "Thank you for your support!"

The voice of the beauty creator was waxy and soft, reaching Wu Yufei's ears like the sound of nature, which made him stunned. He didn't wake up until the players behind him made dissatisfied voices, and quickly took it from the beauty creator. Game, fled in a hurry.

Back in his dormitory, Wu Yufei found that none of his roommates were there, and they probably went out to socialize while taking a break.Wu Yufei's family conditions are very good, and his parents don't interfere with his playing games. Of course, this is also related to his relatively strong self-control ability.Last year, because Wu Yufei had been doing well in college and his academic performance was relatively satisfactory, Wu Yufei's father fulfilled his promise and asked a friend to bring a newest model of multimedia computer from abroad, so Wu Yufei's happy time began again , not only became the most popular person in the dormitory, even students from other dormitories sometimes took the opportunity to come and visit.

After controlling his emotions, Wu Yufei dug out a pack of instant noodles from the drawer, tore open the package, put all the noodles and seasonings into his rice bowl, poured some boiling water, and covered it.Taking advantage of the instant noodles, Wu Yufei opened the game box on his bed, took out the contents, and found that the contents inside were quite rich.

A translucent crystal box contains the game disc of "Paladin Costume", and the main characters in the game are also printed on the disc, which looks very formal.The game manual has a thick book, which contains everything, from the background of the game to the origin of the main characters, including the configuration requirements of the game, the installation and operation guide of the game, and the operation instructions on how to play the game And the game data encyclopedia, etc., it can be said that there is nothing to ask for in one book.In addition, there is a figure of Li Xiaoyao with a base, which can just stand on the computer case and looks very cool.

In addition, what was left was a pile of papers, and Wu Yufei opened them carefully one by one.There are a few promotional coloring pages for summer games, and the printing effect is very beautiful. Of course, Wu Yufei is more interested in the few games that will be launched in the summer vacation described above, the simulation business "Happy Farm", adventure The decryption game "C+ Detective", the screen-popping shooting game "Rage Tank", and the thrilling FPS game "Blood Battle on the Bund".Wu Yufei suddenly felt very distressed, but this distress was different from before. Before, he didn't know what games were available, but now he didn't know which game to choose.

In addition to the promotional coloring page, there is also a large-format "Legend of Sword and Fairy" game poster. We arrived, but the mottled walls reminded him that the dormitory is not a good place to post game posters. Wu Yufei rolled up the posters and planned to take them home and treasure them.

After putting away the poster, Wu Yufei picked up the last stack of papers on the table, opened it, and found that it was the introduction and membership application form of Fengyun Game Club.According to the introduction, Fengyun Game Club is jointly established by Creative Workshop and a company named Fengyun Interactive, and it is an organization dedicated to serving players.As long as you fill in the membership application and send it back, you can join the Fengyun Game Club. After joining the membership, you will receive the latest game trial disc from time to time, and you can enjoy discounts for future game purchases.Among them, the sentence that caught Wu Yufei's attention the most was "Send back the application for membership before the end of May 1995, and you will be able to get a CD of the summer vacation game trial collection, including "Happy Farm", "C + Detective", "Fury Tank", "Blood War" "Shanghai Beach" and "Revelation of Zhongguancun" and other games", if you can get this trial disc, then you will no longer have to worry about which game to choose.

Just as he was about to start writing, Wu Yufei remembered his instant noodles, so he quickly packed up the promotional coloring pages and membership applications on the table, cleared a space, and ate the instant noodles in a few mouthfuls.Throwing away the box of instant noodles, Wu Yufei decided to watch "Legend of Sword and Fairy" first.

Turn on the computer, put the game CD into the CD drive, and start the installation program according to the method mentioned in the manual.Taking advantage of the installation gap, Wu Yufei took out the membership application form and filled it out, took out a set of envelopes and stamps from the drawer, packed the membership application form, filled in the sender and receiver, pasted the stamps, and left Just drop it in the mailbox.At this time, the installation process of the game had just been completed, and Wu Yufei started the game according to the method described in the manual.

First, the red O&G logo flashed past, and then with the accompaniment of melodious music, the busts of Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Linger gradually appeared, and a few petals slowly fell, creating waves of water.The screen switched to the surface of the water, under the shadow of the green trees, a small boat floated on the surface of the water, Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Linger stood on the boat.As the boat slowly recedes, the background gradually turns into a distant mountain, a group of cranes are slowly flying in the air, and the big characters of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" appear on the right side of the screen gradually...

This opening scene shocked Wu Yufei, he had never seen such an exquisite opening animation, not even on the Super Nintendo that he used to play.After the opening title, several options appeared on the screen, "New Beginning", "Old Memories", "Production Group" and "Exit Game". Wu Yufei habitually chose "New Beginning", and there was a It was dark, and then gradually appeared a person and a sword flying in the sky...Another shocking animation appeared in front of Wu Yufei's eyes. Now his lost confidence because of "Condor Commando" came back, and he finally believed what the article said in "Home Computer and Game Console". shocked.

As the game progresses, shocks come one after another.Wu Yufei heard the dubbing recorded by a special person introduced in "Household Computers and Game Consoles". It has brought him a very different experience, as if he is really talking to the characters in the game.Witness the tense and exciting real-time combat system, ride the legendary vehicle, and even let Wu Yufei accidentally discover that the NPC can move, and has its own schedule.Of course, what impressed Wu Yufei the most was "Don't rummage around in the NPC's house". At first, when he was in the inn, Wu Yufei followed the habit of playing RPG games and rummaged around. After learning a lesson, he went to other people's homes in the village to try again, and got the things, but as soon as he went out, he was overturned by a group of arresters and sent to the prison. A generation of future heroes Actually reduced to a prisoner.

Of course, what attracted Wu Yufei even more was the plot development in the game, from meeting a fairy on Fairy Island to fighting Miao people in an inn, to meeting Lin Yueru by chance in Suzhou..., he couldn't stop playing.It wasn't until the sky became dark that Wu Yufei woke up from the game when his roommate came back, only then did he realize that he was already hungry.The last pack of instant noodles had already been eaten at noon, and Wu Yufei had to go downstairs to eat despite all his reluctance. Unexpectedly, when he came back, his roommates were all gathered in front of his computer, playing "Sword of the Immortal Sword" Legend of Heroes".

In the following period of time, Wu Yufei's computer once again became a hot spot in everyone's eyes. Not only did the number of people loitering on the plane increase significantly, but the size of the onlookers also gradually expanded. Fortunately, the temperature was not too high, but it was bearable.But since then, Wu Yufei has added another task every day. Whenever someone wants to use his computer, he has to repeat it several times. He must not overwrite his progress in "Legend of Sword and Fairy". An unexpected situation occurred, and in the end he could only paste a note on the computer that read "Do not overwrite the third progress of "Legend of Sword and Fairy"".

A week later, Wu Yufei progressed to the demon-locking tower in "Legend of Sword and Fairy". After defeating the seven guardian dragons of the King of Prison Ming, the demon-locking tower collapsed. In order to save Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Linger, Lin Yueru sacrificed herself.Wu Yufei only felt that there was a breath stuck in his heart, and he felt uncomfortable all over for several days, and he didn't have the mood to play games.It took a while to recover, and continued to play the game, going through all kinds of difficulties and dangers, but unexpectedly Linger died again in the final battle, Wu Yufei suddenly felt that the person who played this game was simply the most hateful person in the world, But his tears fell uncontrollably.

Later, when I read the game manual, I found that there was a hidden mission mentioned in it, which was composed of a series of continuous missions, and finally I could get an item such as a "substitute puppet". Although the words were unclear, the word "substitute" gave Wu Yufei hope again , Started the struggle in "Legend of Sword and Fairy" again.

At the same time, similar or dissimilar scenes are constantly being staged in many parts of the country, and a whirlwind of fairy swords is sweeping across the country.In this trend, some people fell in love with this game and began to pay attention to the news of the creative workshop. Some people saw business opportunities (game companies found the hope of developing games, dealers saw the boom in game sales, and pirates found it. The next target of piracy), but in a commercial building in the second section of Zhongxiao East Road in Taipei City, a young game developer had to take the blame and submitted his resignation, and a development project he was leading was forced to disappear.
