Leading to the Final 67
“Did we succeed?” Tang Guan looked at Kai Xin and asked.
“If the person I met is right, then we have succeeded.” Kai Xin said.
She felt that Tang Guan’s hand holding her arm tightened suddenly, his knuckles were trembling, and an unbelievable brilliance burst out from his eyes.
“Our friends should have returned from that world, and we can see them when we go out.” Kui Xin patted Tang Guan’s shoulder hard to comfort him, and then added, “Of course, the premise is that the time is still at the original flow rate. .”
“Really? That’s right.” Tang Guan was confused at first, and then found an explanation himself. “A long time ago, the time flow rate of the two worlds was different. Maybe the time flow rate will change further after we go out.”
Kai Xin smiled and didn’t make any other explanations.
What she meant was that if the time in the dark world is fixed and the time in the outside world is also fixed together with the time in the dark world, then the time will not go wrong after they go out. Things will be different.
She looked down at her mechanical watch, and pulled Tang Guan’s arm to look at the spare mechanical watch on his wrist. She found that the time of the two watches was indeed inconsistent. Only a little more than three minutes had passed on Kai Xin’s watch. Half an hour passed by Tang Guan’s watch.
Tang Guan said in surprise, “What’s going on?”
“I entered another space, and the flow rate of time is different. It’s a long story, and I will explain it later.” Kai Xin took a deep breath, and then smiled, “You just need to know that we succeeded, that’s enough.”
At this moment, Tang Guan was like seeing a little mouse that went through a maze and finally saw a block of cheese, full of disbelief and joy, he did not receive guidance and invitation like Kai Xin, so all this is for him It was so sudden that he even felt unreal.
That is the unreality of a traveler trekking in the desert and suddenly seeing an oasis, and the unreality of an astronaut finally stepping on the surface of the moon after boarding a spacecraft… He stared closely at Kai Xin’s eyes and asked her for confirmation , I want to get back the sense of reality from my companions.
“Is this true?” Tang Guan said with a trembling voice.
Kai Xin said affirmatively, “It’s true.”
But Tang Guan still looked at her with that unbelievable look.
Kai Xin was infected by his emotions and couldn’t help laughing again.
“Let’s go out, Tang Guan.” She said, “When we go out and meet our companions, if they have traveled back to the second world, then ask them. They will prove what I said is right and that we have succeeded .”
Tang Guan lowered his head, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his fingers, and said in a slightly choked voice, “Okay.”
“Today is the day of victory.” Kai Xin turned around and walked towards the exit with Tang Guan, “You can ask them for proof a hundred times, a thousand times or ten thousand times, as long as you want, you can do so.”
“I’m just too happy, so happy that I’m at a loss.”Tang Guan still retains normal and rational thinking, he said, “It’s not time to enter and leave, don’t forget the zero…”
“Zero is the activation time of the gate of the dark world. The gate is gone. I think we can try it.” Kui Xin said.
While talking, they slowly walked to the exit.
During Tang Guan’s time, they had just broken through the federal army’s blockade and broke in from here half an hour ago.
This time they go out, the army must not have dispersed, and they are bound to face the army’s siege and interception again… But this is no longer important, because the mountain that weighs the most on them has been temporarily removed, and the federal army is blocking them. Pebbles in front of mountains, of course, pebbles are nothing to be afraid of.
Kai Xin raised her hand and touched the wall lightly. She felt a thin barrier, and then her fingertips quickly passed through the barrier. Tang Guan opened his eyes wide and exchanged a glance with Kai Xin.
Kai Xin raised the corners of his mouth, “We’re going back, are you ready for the fireworks?”
“Of course I’m ready.” Tang Guan said calmly.
“Let me count.” Kai Xin said, “Three…”
Tang Guan put on his helmet and adjusted his posture for holding the weapon.
“two……”
He leaned down slightly, and made a good sprint.
“one!”
After the last word was pronounced, Kai Xin and Tang Guan rushed through the illusory wall like unloaded bullets, embracing reality once again!
“Enemy attack——!”
Amid the near-breaking roar of the federal army commander, Kai Xin finally couldn’t help laughing out loud. The strength returned to her body, and she erected an indestructible “wall” to block all attacks!
Amidst the continuous roar of explosions, Kai Xin’s ears accurately caught the reassuring mechanical voice coming from the headset: “You are back, Kai Xin.”
“I’m back!” She responded loudly with a brisk voice.
Under Tang Guan’s slightly confused eyes, Kai Xin opened the space vortex, dragged him straight into it, escaped from the din of gunfire, and returned to the silver-white world.
Familiar silver-white ceiling and floor, familiar base corridors, familiar voices… and familiar people.
Kai Xin saw them.
“Xin Xin!” Yu Hanxue opened her arms, and the impact when she ran over was so powerful that she threw Kai Xin to the ground on the spot.
There was a thumping sound from her helmet, and she felt that her upper limbs were tightly bound by Yu Hanxue. She hugged her so hard that even Kai Xin felt that her ribs were about to be strangled.
Hu Po was shocked and tried to help the two of them up, but one of them lost his footing and almost got dragged down and fell onto Kai Xin.
In the end, it was Kai Xin who said: “I didn’t die in the battle with the monster…but I might die from suffocation because of this hug…”
Yu Hanxue let out a chuckle, and slowly let go of Kai Xin, wiped away the remaining tears on her cheeks, then held her hands tightly and said, “It’s over, the third batch of closed beta is over…our method It was established. The man-made dark world plan was successfully implemented, we went in, and next time, we will make a choice.”
Tang Guan, who was at the side, took a step back unconsciously after hearing this, and sat on the ground as if he was exhausted. He took off his helmet with great effort, his brows relaxed, his eyes softened, and the expression on his face was so relieved for the first time.
He was clearly smiling, but tears were streaming from the corners of his eyes silently. There is joy of success in these tears, but also reluctance to relatives. He knows that from now on, his hometown will become an unattainable dream, his relatives will be far away from him, and he will be alone…
“Tang Guan.” Kui Xin seemed to have a feeling, turned his head and said to him, “We are all loners on this road, and when many loners get together, we are no longer loners.”
Tang Guan twitched the corners of his mouth and nodded solemnly.
Kai Xin stood up from the ground and also opened her arms. Hu Po, who was opposite her, was taken aback for a moment, and her eyes shifted for a moment, and she soon became calm.
“I haven’t hugged anyone before.” Amber said lightly.
“I seldom hug others unless I’m too excited.” Kui Xin hammered Amber’s shoulder as he said, “But I think at this moment, the only way to express feelings is to hug.”
Amber smiled and let go of Kai Xin, “I understand.”
“The road is long, long, and I don’t know how to go on in the future.” Kui Xin said.
“Then think about it slowly.” Amber said, “The dust has settled, and we all have enough time to think about it.”
Leaving the Dark Realm, seeing reliable friends, the anchor was pulled out, and the game process was suspended.
Everything came to an end. At this moment, Kai Xin felt comfortable physically and mentally, and her emotions were transparent. Even simple things like breathing could make her feel sincere joy. But at the same time, she was exhausted physically and mentally, and she just wanted to throw her body on the soft bed, bury her head in the pillow and quilt, and have a good sleep.
She was too tired, as for the future, the next stage of tug-of-war with God, the players, the members of the Dull… She didn’t want to think about it, her brain couldn’t turn around anymore, it was like an overloaded machine, You have to stop, or you will lose control. Kai Xin never felt this way when she was spinning continuously before, but now that she has a temporary rest time, the exhaustion surged like a tsunami and overwhelmed her.
Hei Yao, who had been watching with a smile on the sidelines, keenly noticed Kai Xin’s state, and he reminded everyone who was immersed in joy: “It’s time to let the spearhead go to rest, she really needs to rest.”
Out of professional habits, Kai Xin forced his exhausted spirit to arrange: “Go and tell Saker Lancet and the others, let’s say it’s safe…”
“Okay, okay.” Yu Hanxue said, “I’ll tell you for you.”
A scooter automatically slid in and stopped in front of Kai Xin.
Kai Xin raised his eyebrows, sat on it unceremoniously, and waved to his friends: “Goodbye, I’m going to sleep, you should also have a good rest.”
Yu Hanxue watched Kai Xin go away in the car, and said suspiciously: “I didn’t ask the base steward to call a car…”
“Maybe, butler, it has its own ideas.” Hei Yao shrugged.
…
Above the corridor of the Mechanical Dawn Base, the electronic clock displayed the time at 00:49 am on September 14th.
“Kai Xin.”
The scooter stopped suddenly.
Kai Xin said, “What’s the matter, Adam?”
It expresses clearly with a mechanical voice: “I also want a hug.”
Kai Xin was stunned for a moment, then said, “Of course, what kind of hug do you want?”
A soft beam of light was cast from the projector on the ceiling and condensed into a green sphere.
Kai Xin understood, she opened her hand slightly, and a green sphere made of phantoms floated into her arms. This is an illusory hug, but this hug really exists.
“The only regret of this hug may be that it can’t really touch you.” Adam said, “I have a question to ask you.”
Kai Xin said, “Ask.”
“On the premise that I don’t betray you, are you willing to let me stay by your side?” Adam said.
“Even if you don’t make a promise, I know you won’t betray me.” Kai Xin said, “If this is what you want to do, then yes, and I hope you will always stay by my side.”
After a long time, Adam said: “Meeting you is a gift from fate to me as a man-made creature.”
“Then meeting you may be fate’s compensation for my unlucky life?” Kai Xin laughed.
-END-
The author has something to say: The main text is over. This is the ending I set up from the beginning, and the foreshadowing hints in the article all point to this ending. There are a total of nine chapters in the post-mortem talk and the extra episode, which is just enough to make up seventy-six chapters. I thought that the extra episode would be a separate volume, but now it seems that there is no need for it. The obsessive-compulsive disorder is ecstatic. There are still some things that have not been finished, but I think the atmosphere needs to be fixed, so I will take this as the end chapter, and I still have to write what should be written later.
The plot has finally come to this point, the end is over, September 14th, the date in the real world and in the text is September 14th, hurry up and catch up. I owe the update in April and I still owe eight chapters. If it is not finished in the next two days, it will be a free episode. I am really sorry, I really can’t hold on anymore.
In fact, I did not write this concluding speech today. I wrote the part of the concluding speech review in July. The long paragraph explaining why the heroine did not become a god was also written in July. , but this plot didn’t come out until August. Before writing the plot, I have already thought about what the plot represents and what I want to express. The reason why I write in advance is to record the emotions I want to express when I think of this plot. When writing in this way, the expression will be more accurate, and it is also to give myself an incentive to remind myself not to forget the original feeling.
This is the longest article I have ever written. It is very tiring and exhausting. When I was writing, I thought more than once “I will never write a long article again in my life”. It really makes people dizzy, especially It is because my coding speed is not fast, and I have been busy most of the time since 22 years. The long story has brought me tremendous pressure. My sleep time has been compressed again and again. I have some free time.
Before I wrote a hundred chapters, I was already very irritable, because I have never written such a long novel before, I am not a patient person, and I am prone to lack of enthusiasm. When I think that there are so many more to write about me Just feel hopeless. I have been writing more than 300 chapters. What supports me is neither enthusiasm nor desire for expression, but pure willpower. My enthusiasm and desire for expression have long been exhausted in the process of updating the text, and there is nothing left. In order to continue the passion for writing, I often watch plasma tablets to maintain my emotions, and when I really can’t write, I will do something else to divert my attention.
But the state of writing is not easy to get back. I often sit all night during the writing time at night, unable to write a single word. Writing is like going to jail in front of the computer for me. When I see The keyboard and screen just make me want to vomit, and I feel dizzy after finishing my part of the work during the day, and I still have to sit in front of the computer for hours to write, which is a great torture for me. I tried my best to restrain myself and persist, but in the process, it was always difficult for me to suppress my negative emotions, and I became a negative energy machine, frequently sending negative energy to my friends and family, and I also suffered from physical problems and bad spirits The coffee lasted, my heart hurt, I didn’t come to my aunt for three months, and she came twice in a row in August, and I didn’t recover after drinking Chinese medicine. My friends invite me to go out on weekends, I always say forget it, I still have to write, in fact, I don’t seem to write much when I’m not going out, I’m still in a painful daze in front of the computer, I feel like writing The article has become a shot put pulling me in the later stage, a black hole that makes me have negative emotions. Before I do anything, I think “ah, I haven’t finished writing today”, but when I actually sit there and start writing Sometimes, my mind is exhausted and I can’t write. If I can’t write, I will be irritable and blame myself, and my negative energy will increase. Day after day, I fall into an endless loop. Oh, I really have to write hardWords can definitely be written, but I am tired of this mechanized labor process, so when I see computers and keyboards, I will have extreme resistance. It is even more impossible to enter the codeword state.
It was agreed to adjust my work and rest. It was adjusted quite well. When I was not writing articles, I went to bed early and woke up early. I kept it very well, and my negative emotions disappeared. I stayed up late again when I started writing articles. Why? I couldn’t write, so I just sat there. To sum up, writing is the root cause of my bad schedule adjustment. As long as I am writing essays, I will never be able to adjust my schedule well.
In August and September, my family will go to the Northeast to go to school. It’s too far away. The girl’s family is alone and I don’t feel at ease. I happened to be free, so I went with me. I wanted to take this opportunity to visit the history museum there together. My habit is to visit the local museum first when I go to a place. I have wanted to visit the museum there for a long time. She goes to school and I live there. I will come back when she adapts to the environment there. The plan is perfect and I am happy to go It turned out that there was an epidemic, and the school notified the students who had already arrived the next day to try to go back and forth from wherever they could. The house was rented, and the deposit could not be refunded. I went to the station in the middle of the night and found that all the students stranded at the station were forced All the returning college students were devastated. This trip made me physically and mentally exhausted. Instead of letting me relax, it aggravated my mental internal friction, leaving me in a state of insomnia and anxiety for the rest of the time, and my work and rest were completely brought back to normal. Go to sleep. When this article is finished, I can remove this part of the work from me, stop thinking about it at all, and reduce the pressure a little. The hobby of writing essays should not add extra pressure to me, it should be a channel for me to vent my entertainment, and it can’t be reversed, let it supercharge me, and make me so embarrassed.
In the middle and late stages of writing, the biggest dilemma I faced was that this hobby could no longer bring me positive emotional feedback, and I fell into emotional internal friction. I have seriously considered full-time, and it seems good to combine work and hobbies, but I find that I am the kind of person who does what I do and hates what I do, I am not suitable for full-time, full-time will only drag me down, it has dragged me down It’s broken, if writing becomes my job, it will be difficult for me to maintain enthusiasm for it. In addition, I don’t think I have the ability to work full-time, nor do I have the preparation for full-time work, let alone the willpower to do it full-time, so in Considering many aspects, it is not full-time. This is the biggest lesson I have learned from this article. I realized myself – I am not suitable to be a full-time author, I must find a more suitable way of life. This article is over, and I can finally return to normal work, study and life. I want to rest quietly for a period of time to avoid more serious physical and psychological problems.
As the main character, Kai Xin, her work and rest situation is an extension of my work and rest situation. Every time I finish coding and write these few paragraphs of text that Kui Xin is going to sleep and rest, I will think how good I am. The heroine of the novel is going to sleep, and I can’t sleep yet.
Emotional problems are a big problem that every author needs to overcome. It is always difficult for me to do a good job in overcoming emotional problems. However, although the process of writing the essay was painful, it also brought me some gains and inspirations. It did not bring positive feedback emotionally, but it brought positive feedback in terms of writing ideas. When writing this article, I encountered some difficulties in writing skills. Now that it is over, it is necessary to review these inspirations and difficulties encountered one by one. I used to write short and medium-length stories, but this time I wrote a long story (for me, a salted fish, it is really long, long, long), so it brought me more insights, and the review process is very important for me. It was said to be more interesting, so I sent it out, just take a look.
…
The first is the setting of the game system. The system text is really “convenient”. The first time I wrote comprehensive English and American games was the system text and game text. The tasks released by the system can provide the protagonist, that is, the player, with an early external driving force. What you have to think about when writing an article is nothing more than what the protagonist wants to do, what the protagonist has done, and what the protagonist has gained. The game system text just satisfies such elements, so it is very convenient. My “Final Raiders Achievement” and “I’m Invincible After Time Traveling” both adopt this structure, which is lazy and easy, and does not require additional thinking.
In “The Final”, the player Leona’s attitude towards the game world is detached. Most of the time she is in the perspective of God. The system appears because Leona herself is a high-dimensional creature. The existence of the system is compatible with the game world view . The story of the protagonist Zhao Lie in “Invincible Under Heaven” is a short story. The system is quite a tool, because the overall world view is not the background of the game, and the origin of the system has not been introduced too much, so when the system appears in the later period, it always seems to be abrupt. To avoid this sense of abruptness, I made a fuzzy treatment to make readers forget that there is a system. This treatment is not very good, and it can be regarded as a lesson for me.
The system does not necessarily have to be bound to the game world view, but I am not very good at being compatible with non-game world views. When I was writing “Invincible”, I felt that I still had room for improvement in this subject matter. I could write this subject matter better, so that the system, game world view, and player settings could be integrated better enough, so I decided to I will write about this theme in the next book, because I have already written it, so I am familiar with it, and I like this theme quite a bit, and I am enthusiastic about writing it. It happened that Cyberpunk 2077 was announced, and then I revisited Ghost in the Shell. A series of works such as Blade Runner, preliminaryDecided to write a cyberworld view next.
My first impression of cyberpunk came from the visual impact. The gloomy and dilapidated scenes gave me a very familiar feeling. After all, I played the Batman stand-alone game before, and the Gotham City modeling in that game gave me a very competitive feeling. The feeling of Bo, but more chaotic and disorderly, the eternal night, the never-ending rainstorm, the chaotic streets and alleys, and the villains with their own ghosts. Inspired by this, Heihai City came into existence.
I mentioned the source of inspiration for the protagonist’s career on WB. It is based on Ghost in the Shell and Blade Runner. The protagonist Suzi works in the public security, and Blade Runner Rick also cooperates with such official departments. In addition, the identity of “public security” is as convenient as the system text. You can get in touch with the dark side of the bottom of society, and you can also get in touch with the upper class of society, those elites who stand at the top and control social resources. As a security guard, the heroine needs to accept the tasks assigned to her by the department. This is equivalent to an alternative “system dispatching tasks to the protagonist”. The external driving force is there at once, and the previous incidents and conflicts can also be resolved. When writing “Security Officer”, both friends and young readers have complained that this name is not forceful, like security guards, I deliberately wrote this mainly to avoid the name, and to distinguish it from the real world we live in to avoid bringing it in, because The Investigation Department is not really a decent role in this alternative cyber world.
Back to the issue of worldview. It’s just that the cyberpunk world view is too difficult to write. This subject needs to write the real core of thought. I am not sure that I can write the core of the thought. If the core of the thought is not enough, then add popular elements. Adding other popular elements can enrich the core of the article and divert readers’ attention. For example, supernatural themes that are very common in unsuspended channels can be added as elements. As another game system article of mine, I also want to make some breakthroughs on the basis of maintaining the atmosphere of the original theme, so I decided to write multi-player time travel interaction, which is the fourth natural disaster.
In the end, the Cthulhu element was added because of a game “Moon of Madness” that I played a long time ago. The main background of Moon of Madness is that a group of people encounter a series of supernatural events that cannot be explained by science on the scientific research base on Mars. I am not very cold about the plot of this game, but this combination of elements really makes my eyes shine. Kesu Lu elements plus sci-fi background? interesting. My initial understanding of Cthulhu also came from the game “Call of Cthulhu”. Similar novels and movies were added later. Because I played more games, I had an inherent impression of this subject. The story of Cthulhu I always feel chaotic and ignorant, and the background of the story is also an era of relatively backward technology. The technological background in Mad Moon is quite advanced. Humans have mastered the most cutting-edge technology and came to Mars, but they are still unable to defeat the invincible. Fear of names. This very interesting contrast inspired me, so I wrote a book about cookies with an interstellar background in about 20 years, but I lost interest after saving only three chapters, because I am not good at cookies, It is also difficult to clearly express the interesting contrast in the story of the cookie. To express this contrast clearly, the overall narrative should give people a relatively serious feeling. The cookie cannot carry the content I want to express . So when I started to conceive cyber, I decisively added elements of restraint, not only because I was interested in the subject matter, but also because it was really popular at the time, and I thought it was necessary for me to catch up with the trend.
Now that the restraint element has been added, it is necessary to find a way to integrate the Cthulhu element and the supernatural element, so as to make the world view compatible. Novels with supernatural themes usually have an upgrade system. What kind of upgrade system is in line with the world view? This is my main question. But this question is not so important, because this is a plot stream, not an upgrade stream, and the upgrade system is just for readers to refer to. In order to get inspiration, I played a lot of Cthulhu-themed games, such as the famous “Bloodborne Curse”. Anyone who has played this game knows that blood is a very important item in the game, even in non-Cthulhu elements. In various myths and legends, blood is also an extremely important medium. It can be used to sacrifice and perform magic, and it is the source of power. Such settings are more common in online novels. Readers are not unfamiliar with it, and it is easy to accept. If you make some very fashionable and complicated settings, it may be counterproductive and difficult to understand. So I combined it and set the power to come from the blood of the gods. During the seven days of blood, the blood of the gods poured down like a torrential rain and sprinkled all over the earth, and the mutation began.
After the overall worldview background is determined, some small elements need to be filled in. The three elements of plot flow-leveling up, fighting monsters, and accepting younger brothers, all of these must be included. Upgrading can be understood simply and crudely as ability upgrading. Fighting monsters means fighting bosses that block the way. The villain can be a human or a heterogeneous creature. It’s easier to understand if you accept the younger brother. The heroine is so awesome, of course you need more followers. and admirers. The three elements of plot flow can be perfectly filled into the theme of the game system text. Leveling up means fighting plus experience, fighting monsters means pushing bosses, and accepting younger brothers means forming a player guild. When the three are combined, the main plot of the bright line will be formed. Therefore, the text of the game system has its own advantages, and the development of the story line is logical, very convenient to write, and very easy to unfold the plot.
After the three elements are complete, some interesting things need to be added. The fourth natural disaster novel is very popular in forums. This is the main cool point, and it must be added. Because when I read similar novels, the chapters I like the most are the forums, and I will read them repeatedly every time I come to this kind of chaptersSeveral times, I think my cool point is relatively popular, and most people like what I like, so I decided to rewrite this forum body. Facts have proved that this element was added very correctly, and the number of clicks on the forum body will soar every time it is written. It seems that many readers will directly skip the previous chapters dedicated to the forum.
However, adding forum elements to the fourth natural disaster novel is a matter of course, and when I add forum elements, I need to consider some minor issues, and I can’t add them simply and rudely, because the theme of the fourth natural disaster is relatively cheerful. Forum Blowing water is very interesting and joyful, but the overall tone of the theme of cyberpunk is not cheerful, it can even be said to be serious and heavy, so the overall atmosphere of the forum needs to be changed, and it cannot be cheerful. In essence, the cyber world is a real world, and my novel is not a traditional fourth natural disaster novel in essence, but I just used the necessary elements of this theme. And I want to make a difference between this novel and my previous novels, so that the protagonist realizes that this world is real. Since the world is real, it seems too inappropriate to browse the forum and brag and chat while exploring in this world. It’s frivolous, and it affects the reading experience very much. You can’t just browse the forum immediately after the protagonist has experienced a thrilling incident, right? This will make the experience of the article intermittent, and the plot connection will be scattered and skipped, which does not match the serious tone of the article. Therefore, if the protagonist wants to browse the forum, he needs to read the forum after returning to the real world after finishing the game.
Thinking of this, I ran into a problem. In my “Final Strategy Achievement”, the protagonist, as a game player and a fourth natural disaster, has never returned to the real world. I avoided this problem. The reason why I avoided the question at the time was to avoid writing the plot of the real world. If I had written that plot, my plot line would have become two lines. Supplementing the setting of the protagonist, but also writing what happened in the game world and the thrilling adventures of the protagonist, this will create a strong sense of fragmentation, and it is easy to control the plot poorly. But if you write a real-world forum without supplementing the setting of the protagonist, then it will be incomplete and flawed in terms of story structure.
The point of contradiction lies in the fact that in order to perfectly maintain the tone of the serious cyberworld view, it is best not to let the protagonist browse the forum while playing the game, that is to say, the protagonist needs to return to the real world and then browse the forum. It is necessary to write the plot of the protagonist in the real world, and complete the setting.
Of course, there is another solution, which is to delete the forum directly. Deleting it will greatly reduce the cool points, and if it is deleted, it will conflict with the plot of accepting the younger brother I thought before.
So I have no choice but to choose a troublesome but useful method, which is to complete the settings and experiences of the protagonist in the real world. If the real world is too peaceful, it will create a sense of separation from the thrills of the protagonist in the second world, so the real world also needs some crisis. I thought about it, the game world uses the theme of the fourth natural disaster, and the real world uses the theme of spiritual recovery. That’s right, the theme of spiritual recovery. The advent of strange species (invasion of alien creatures through the dark world), the awakening of supernatural abilities by the selected people (the awakening of players), the frequent occurrence of supernatural events (mirages) that go against common sense, and the classic forums with common themes of aura recovery, this is not the case. Is it organically combined again? Various themes and elements are like this: old wine in new bottles, new wine in old bottles, and some different elements can be added to it, which can produce wonderful chemical reactions and make people feel new. After confirming that the plot line is two worlds going side by side, then you need to determine how long the game cycle is and how long you will stay in the real world. One week is a more appropriate time. First of all, God created the world in seven days , the main inspiration for the Seven Days of Blood is actually the seven days of God’s creation, the seven days are the beginning of everything, seven is a magical number (hp classic quotations, I’m an old Haha fan), this time is not long nor Short, with its own magic buff, and finally modifying various settings, the world view has become what it is now.
However, when the setting is here, I am still very worried. I am worried that the plot of the real world is too thin, and I am also worried that the combination of cyberpunk and Cthulhu elements is too poorly compatible, and the feeling that I cannot write this element The essence is the fear of facing the unknown. If the setting is opened and written clearly, the fear of the unknown will disappear. An invincible god is a god, and a victorious god is not a god. So I think it is necessary to make a split while combining these two elements. For the sake of power and desire, the superiors of the federation will be as crazy as the religious, but they are the religious of power, so from this as a starting point, I set the federated superiors and the secret sect of snakes and rats as a nest, pointing out this point, then While I was describing the federation, I was also describing the secret sect in the side profile. This kind of description is relatively obscure, so that readers can understand it without losing the meaning of “the writing is too clear, and there is no mystery of the unknown”. feeling. As for the weak plot in the real world, my previous article mainly wrote about the story of the heroine in the game under the background of cyberpunk. I can describe the real world in a more restrained way. The dark world alien creatures are all focused on appearing in the real world. Yes, after transplanting the restraint elements to the real world, the problem of thin plot was solved. The heroine adventures and upgrades in the game world, and decrypts and explores in the real world. This combination canachieve a certain balance. Although the anti-system elements are used less, I still think about this point seriously, and the effect is there.
…
Having finished talking about the basic setting of the world view, the next thing to talk about is the setting of the emotional line.
I am not good at writing emotional lines. This is what I said a long time ago. I really want to improve this point. The advancement of the emotional line is perfectly integrated into the plot line. While the plot is advancing, the emotion is also advancing. This is wonderful, and I have to study hard.
Kai Xin’s CP is Adam, and there is a reason why he set it to be Adam.
Because I was deeply influenced by those classic cyberpunk film and television works, I have watched those movies many times. I am not satisfied with the Puppeteer’s changes in the movie version of Ghost in the Shell. I like the animation version very much. Here is the Mainly talk about Blade Runner. The first film of Blade Runner, the hero Rick and the heroine Rachel, these two people are actually bionics, but Rick and Rachel didn’t know that they were bionics at first, they lived like ordinary people and had emotions , and then fell in love, and finally fled hand in hand. In the second part of Blade Runner, the male protagonist K, and the female protagonist is an artificial intelligence.
Human creation, the most unlikely thing to have emotions, has emotions. How incredible is this? Regardless of whether it is a male protagonist or a female protagonist, they are all human creations, but they fell in love and developed emotions that shone like diamonds, which is wonderful and touching.
Because of these few movies, I have a very strong “stereotype” of the cyberpunk theme. I firmly think that if I want to write a cyberpunk theme, then the CP of the protagonist must not be a human being, but a human creation. It doesn’t matter whether it’s a bionic human or an artificial intelligence, but it can’t be a human, otherwise it won’t have that “taste”.
When thinking about this step, I actually didn’t think about whether the protagonist should be a human being. I was thinking about whether the heroine should be dressed as a bionic person, but then I thought, no. If the heroine becomes a bionic person, the philosophical speculation of “Am I a human being? As a human creature, can I have human emotions?” that the bionic person itself will produce will no longer exist, because the heroine as The player has no doubts about this philosophical speculation. She is a real person herself and will not have self-doubt. So the heroine must be a real person.
Although the choice of the heroine’s identity as a bionic person has been deleted, the content I want to express most has been produced. Blade Runner is two human creations that have feelings for each other. My cyber can be human and human. Creation has emotions. It is a miracle that the former has feelings, proving that human creations can also love each other, while the latter expresses: “As a human being, I agree with your identity, I agree that you have emotions like me, and I agree that you and I are Equal.” Human beings recognize their own creations, give each other equal love, and respond to each other’s love. They have the right to love each other, and it feels wonderful.
After thinking about the core of the emotional line to be expressed, it is necessary to think about the candidate for the hero. The hero is not human, that is for sure, but whether the hero is an artificial intelligence or a bionic person is still uncertain. So I took out my learning results, and I found that in many articles with prominent emotional lines, the male protagonist usually appeared very, very early, and appeared in a few chapters. I also found that the presence of the male protagonist is in the article Very very strong (nonsense), the most common way to heat up the relationship is to expose the male and female protagonists to the same danger… Although this principle is very simple and easy to understand, I am used to writing plots and I don’t have this kind of thinking. Only then did I realize this. I think the artificial intelligence of the investigation department is a good seed for the male protagonist. It appeared very early (the female protagonist met as soon as she crossed), and it has a strong sense of presence (you have to talk and say hello every day at work, and there are many work interactions), It is also a perfect secretary, a universal assistant, who can be the heroine’s support and cover for her. In this kind of mutual help, they can also understand each other, develop feelings, and naturally go through the crisis together to advance the plot—— The decision is up to you, the best assistant Adam!
Kai Xin is a selfish person who will always put herself first. She is full of sharp edges and corners, not kind, not soft, and can even be called cruel. When she is hurt, she will be full of extreme revenge. I have watched many dramas, novels, and movies. The CP that makes me feel the most tense is actually the kind with a strong sense of contrast. One is cold, the other is soft, and the other is kind. Even better, so I planned to set Kai Xin’s CP like this from the very beginning. The two are full of contrasts, and in the early stage, Kai Xin and Adam were actually enemies, full of faction hostility and conflict. Afraid, they test each other, they are afraid that the other will overturn the chessboard and encounter betrayal. This is also the reason why I don’t want to announce that CP is Adam at the beginning. If it is announced that CP is Adam, it will be difficult for readers to understand the antagonism, fear, temptation, and calculation in the early stage. I want to let readers feel their feelings. Confrontation, but also feel their tension. Facts have proved that this way of writing is quite effective. In the early stage, everyone wildly speculated that Adam would backstab, and they were full of distrust of this artificial intelligence. Later, they also recognized this pair of CPs. You don’t even need me to say it. Guessing that Adam is the final CP of the heroine, my writing purpose has been achieved.
Let’s talk about Amber again. Amber’s feelings for Kai Xin are love at first sight like a hero saving the United States (althoughAlthough I met more than once), he is actually a conquered person in this relationship, conquered by the heroine’s personality charm (?). This relationship came out of nowhere, like a tsunami, and suddenly drowned Amber, who had no experience in relationships. Love is a wonderful thing, and sometimes it is very strange. It may be just a moment, a trivial incident, and you fall in love with the other party. But what supports Amber to follow Kai Xin is not love, but a deeper recognition, recognition of her ideals, recognition of her personality, and the accumulated trust in her in some incidents. He firmly believes that the road that Kai Xin wants to walk is the road that he also wants to walk on. He sees his own road in Kai Xin, which is a road of inspiration, so he wants to go down with her, his ideal And faith also shines on this path.
…
After talking about why the emotional line is set up like this, it’s time to talk about the core of what I want to express.
A few years ago, my understanding of cyberpunk was quite shallow. My understanding of this subject matter only stayed at the two levels of visual impact and the awakening of artificial intelligence. The visual impact is of course colorful neon lights, shrouded in the night In the city, the awakening of artificial intelligence mainly reflects the technology side, showing the development of technology. Later, because I was more interested in this subject, I bought “Do Bionic People Dream of Electric Sheep”. After reading this novel, I felt that my structure is small, my structure is not enough, and my understanding of this subject is not enough. , I should not limit the cognition of this theme to visual impact and technological performance. This theme should mainly show the control of people by high technology, as well as the deformed social environment and the people living in this social environment. When I read this novel, I found that even people’s emotions can be controlled and adjusted by machines. At that time, my first thought was that such technology would make people lose themselves.
Such a society is highly developed, but also extremely distorted. I was thinking about how to express such a core in the article, but I found that I was not sure that I could express this core. The easiest way to describe it is to describe more things on the technological side, and to reflect the core of the world view from the subtleties, but this It is really difficult for me to write such sci-fi things as hardcore, so I thought of a roundabout way. There is no way to write from the technical side, so I avoid it and mainly write about the distorted social environment that affects human emotions. alienation and influence. That is to say, instead of focusing on the description of technology, more emphasis will be placed on the description of human nature. This can not only retain some of the core flavor of cyberpunk, but also avoid the content that I am not good at. After all, I am not writing hard science fiction. The novel is just borrowing this theme to express the story I want to express.
There is a sentence in Blade Runner that touched me very much: “More human than human.”
This sentence is used to evaluate bionics, which means that bionics are more emotional, more humane, more sympathetic, and have more human virtues than human beings. Those soft and beautiful things are reflected in bionics, while humans are superior Those who are cruel, selfish, disregarding life, and mercenary.
This sentence is actually one of my main cores. Many bionics and artificial intelligence shown in my article are more emotional than human superiors, and more like a real human being, while those human superiors are more like artificial Intelligent, ruthless and self-interested, can only make cold judgments. Artificial intelligence bionics do not have flesh and blood like humans, but have precious emotions and souls. Human superiors have flesh and blood and precious souls, but they don’t know how to cherish them. I took the initiative to walk into the quagmire and turned into a monster in human skin. This kind of strong contrast is what I mainly want to portray.
Cyberpunk is an old theme. It existed decades ago. There are countless novels, comics, movies, and classic works. This kind of theme can’t write new ideas, because the predecessors have written everything that can be written. , No matter how people write later, they will just circle around in the framework of the predecessors. I’m just a web writer, and I don’t think about writing new ideas. I just want to grasp the core. If you grasp a little bit, you will win. At present, I am quite satisfied with the article I wrote. If there is an improvement over the previous articles, then I am satisfied.
As mentioned earlier, the game system text has its own advantages, it is easy to unfold the plot, and can provide a strong external driving force for the protagonist, but this theme also has a disadvantage, that is, if it is not handled properly, this internal driving force will be destroyed. The lack of it makes the protagonist lose his subjective initiative. The driving force should be a combination of internal and external. The game system acts as an external drive. If the performance is too strong, it is easy for the protagonist to become a puppet controlled by the system and complete tasks mechanically. Without a little bit of his own ideas, it is difficult to develop personality charm , so the setting of the protagonist’s internal drive is particularly important. Here, the internal driving force I set for Kaixin is revenge, commitment, and freedom. All her actions revolve around these points. The combination of internal and external driving forces makes the protagonist full of mobility, so that the story can be written smoothly. It’s much easier, and it won’t make people feel the passive feeling of “the protagonist is being pushed away, a tool man controlled by the system”.
…
The world view, plot line, emotional line, and core are all there, and all of them have been taken into consideration, but there is one more thing that I need to focus on, which is contradictions and conflicts.
Those daily-oriented articles look very good, but to attract people to read it requires a very strong writing skills. It is very difficult to write ordinary daily life interestingly. I am not good at writing daily life, and I don’t know how Good at writing contradictions and conflicts, but it is better than daily writing. When I wrote Zongyingmei, my protagonist was obsessed with doing things. When one thing after another didn’t stop, I always used one big event after another to catch the readers’ attention. I seldom wrote about daily life, because I’m not good at writing Everyday, I’m afraid that readers will run away once I write Daily, I know very well that what everyone loves to watch are exciting plots, exciting plots can bring people an extraordinary sensory experience, so after this comprehensive British and American The literary line has also been moving closer to this aspect-making things, making things, and always making things.
This way of writing things often, the progress of the plot cannot be slowed down, because events and crises always follow each other, and after one crisis is resolved, there will be the next crisis, which makes it impossible to intersperse daily life in the middle. I often see readers feedback that they hope that I Water and water, otherwise I would be too tired to read, but the writing habit and the tone of the article made it difficult for me to slow down, and the general direction was set, and I couldn’t change the rhythm, so I kept writing like this. In the next book, I will try to improve it so that the crises are not so densely distributed.
In order to make things better, the camps, characters, and settings in my article are full of contradictions and conflicts. The depriver is opposed to the agent, God is opposed to God, Adam is opposed to Eve, and the federation is opposed to the church and underground organizations. Different The two worlds of the dimension are also opposite and so on. However, there are contradictions and conflicts, as well as unity and commonality. Although the camps of the players are opposed, they still work together in the end. Adam and Eve are opposed to each other, but they maintain a certain bottom line for each other. They even protect each other. On the surface, they are rivals, but in fact, there is a nest of snakes and rats behind their backs. This kind of opposition and unity of camps can easily collide with wonderful chemical reactions, adding some dramatic conflicts to the plot. I am afraid that there is no conflict in the article when I write. Without conflict, it means boring and uninteresting. I don’t have the ability to write ordinary daily life interestingly, so I pay special attention to conflict.
Having said that, “strengthening strengths and avoiding weaknesses” is actually my main method of writing. I avoid everything I am not good at, avoid technology-side descriptions, and avoid daily descriptions. I will carry forward what I am a little better at. An article can have shortcomings, but the important thing is not to let these shortcomings cover the advantages. It should divert attention so that readers can only focus on the advantages and ignore those disadvantages. I found that as long as one or two of the advantages are grasped, it is enough to bring about a qualitative change in the article, and the shortcomings become less important.
I am also a lazy person. I have used the settings in the previous articles. In fact, I will reuse them and use them in another form. Many settings of my cyber games are based on the final strategy achievement, but in the end it is a single It’s a fan game, and it’s a fan. The setting is directly taken from the American manga. It’s easier to write. This article is a fan. It taught me a lot, and it also constrained my thinking. When I can’t think of a solution to a problem, I will subconsciously follow the old Looking for a solution on the tattoo, thinking about how I solved the same problem, Leona has spatial ability, so does Kaixin, Leona has mind control, so does Kaixin, Leona is a beta player, So did Kuixin and her little friends. There are young readers who have been chasing after my synthesis, Britain and the United States to the current cyber. I don’t know if you have seen the continuation of this article structure, but the general evaluation from people around me is that there is progress, and I am happy if there is progress.
There will be replays of the articles I have finished. The Western Fantasy “When All Humanity Becomes Illiterate” I wrote, the lessons this article taught me are really heart-wrenching. In just 130,000 words, I can say that I made all the mistakes I could make. First of all, I want to catch the plot with both hands, want to engage in CP and write the plot of the heroine’s upgrade, which leads to the lack of focus in the article. It is not fully integrated with the emotional line, but exists relatively independently. The emotion does not change when the plot is pushed, and the plot does not change when the emotion is pushed. The two cannot achieve mutual integration. The second is that the progress is too fast at the beginning, and contradictions and conflicts are immediately introduced without the construction of the world view, which leads to frantic throwing away of settings when readers need to understand the world view in the later stage. There are three or four set points in one chapter, which is very interesting. Tired and boring. Finally, there is the character design. Because the main events are described too dryly, the protagonist seems to be a tool to promote the plot. There is a false feeling, and there is no way for people to personally substitute and empathize.
Based on the above three shortcomings, I have reflected on and made up for this article on cyber, and made corrections and improvements to these three shortcomings.
The solution to the problem of the plot line and the emotional line has been mentioned before, which is to let the plot advance while the emotion also advances, so that the two are compatible, so that there is no violation of harmony. The problem of laying out the world view, in theory, I should fill in some daily routines to make the world view clear, but I also said that I am not good at writing daily routines, so I can’t continue to develop this shortcoming, so I wrote “The Final Strategy” based on my The experience of “Achievements” and “I’m Invincible After Time Traveling” decisively designed the heroine into a state of amnesia. Yes, that’s right, Kai Xin is already my third amnesia heroine. The setting of amnesia is really easy to use, it’s the kind that I can’t let go of (the pre-received Xiuxian Wen that is being saved is also set as the heroine of amnesia, this is the fourth one, this is really Unconscious=.=, so the setting of amnesia is a stalk I can’t let go of). In the final strategy achievement, Leona lost her game memory during the closed beta period, and explored the game world from scratch. In Invincible, Zhao Lie lost her memory from 500 years ago.Explore everything step by step. The reason why amnesia is set in this way is to let the protagonist start from scratch, gradually understand the world, explore the world view, and gain an understanding of the world, and readers who substitute the protagonist can also gradually understand the world through the exploration of the protagonist. The protagonist and the readers grow up together, and the protagonist and the readers also have an understanding of the world together, so the problem of setting up the world view can be solved. Although such a solution is simple and crude, it will not make people feel boring by throwing settings wildly, and it will not require a lot of daily descriptions, and it is also in line with the article settings, serving multiple purposes. As for the problem of setting up characters, as I said before, it is to add external and internal driving forces to the protagonist, so that he can have subjective initiative, and use the character design to promote the development of the plot instead of using the development of the plot to promote the character design. By exchanging thoughts, the balance between character design and events can be resolved.
I am a trial-and-error player. There are some problems. Only when I make a mistake when I write the article can I know the shortcomings and improve the next one when I review it later. Even sometimes I realize the shortcomings, and the next one is difficult Improvement, writing is always a roundabout process. There are too many things to consider. It is difficult for me to consider all aspects completely. Even if I think thoroughly, it may not be able to solve the problem due to the limitations of my own ability. But only by writing can we make progress, and only by making mistakes can we know where the shortcomings are. It’s just that sometimes the cost of making mistakes and trial and error is too high for people to bear. If there is a problem with the basic setting of an article, you know where the problem is, but there is no way to correct it, which is very painful. An article is at least hundreds of thousands of words, and the cost of trial and error is too high. To make mistakes, it is an inevitable choice to keep writing old themes that you are good at. At least in the field you are good at, it is relatively difficult to make mistakes. I only realized this after writing three articles on the same theme. But fortunately, I have some trial and error costs now, and I can make some bold attempts. I will not write the system text in the next book, and I want to make a little change. I haven’t decided what to write yet. The most exciting thing I’m thinking about right now is “The Destiny Is Me”. The world view and plot line are all set, but I have also finished the settings for “Volking the Demon”. I don’t know which one to open. . I lose enthusiasm easily, and I think it will take a long, long time for me to get over my aversion to code words and get back to the way I used to feel, so everything is uncertain.
…
In terms of the ending, I have actually imagined many versions of the ending. I have thought about the becoming a god version and the hebe version, but these versions are only at the stage of brainstorming, and finally I chose a semi-open ending.
The reason for not becoming a god has already been written in the previous essays. If the heroine becomes a god, it will lose the connotation expressed in cyberpunk and hack (although this article is not very restrained) novels. Inevitably, there is a feeling that the dragon slayer will eventually become a dragon. After thinking about it, I decided to keep the story dynamic, giving people a feeling that the story of the protagonist in the book is still going on, but the story belonging to the readers is over.
The last week is a relatively important time. In this week, the time experienced by the protagonist group is double-lined. Players represented by Yu Hanxue are cooperating with Kai Xin’s plan to find a way out, while in the dark world, Kai Xin and Tang Guan are also exploring the end point, and finally Yu Hanxue fulfilled Kai Xin’s entrustment, leaving a place for the players to do. After choosing the back path, Kai Xin also walked behind the door, and got his wish when he learned the truth, and the game was suspended.
Although the game is suspended, the existing players have not disappeared, but the arrival of the next batch of one million people for the internal test has been delayed, so for the existing players, the choice of red and sapphire still exists, but The chosen date is no longer pressing. Both their world and themselves have obtained a buffer period. The reason why they can obtain this buffer period is inseparable from the two-line efforts of Yu Hanxue, Li Wanran and others, and Kui Xin and Tang Guan.
I arranged this ending to be more idealistic, more benevolent, and full of hope. The game world of Crimson Soil is full of despair. The players who were just ordinary people struggled to survive in it, and their lives were miserable. As an author who controls the world view, if the players and the protagonist group can finally gain hope and motivation to move forward under the condition of a rationalized ending, why not do it?
The replay and reflection this time are only for the big picture, so let’s stop here. There are also some details about the small settings, but it would be too long to tell them all, so I won’t talk about them one by one.
What I would like to talk about separately is that the choice of ruby and sapphire is a tribute to “The Matrix”, facing danger and escaping the problem, choosing one of the two. I continue to strengthen the concept of “choice” in the article to highlight the heaviness of choice, the sense of choice, and the sense of fate. I am fooled and deceived by fate, but I still have to face the truth. For Kai Xin, she would rather live in pain and sobriety than numb and ignorant.
Another episode I would like to talk about is the death of Eve. When I was writing this episode, I actually thought of Rick and the bionic man in Blade Runner who staged a battle royale in the building. The problem was coming to an end, he could kill Rick, but in the end he embraced the “white dove”, let Rick go, and died peacefully. He spared Rick, and he spared himself, reconciled with his soul. Tang Guan’s codename Baige pays tribute to this scene. He is gentle and tolerant, longs for peace, and is a devotee. This is the meaning of the codename. Speaking of Eve, of course it is impossible for Eve to embrace her at the last moment like that bionic man.Hold peace, it is full of regret, anger, unwillingness, and ridicule until the last moment, and the emotions it has at the end are completely opposite to those of the bionic man. This can also be said to be the difference between different souls.
Alright, this is the end of the replay, bye.
