Play Game of Life

The sudden car accident caught the finale off guard.

Xu Jing just got off the bus, and before she could even see the world clearly, she felt dizzy. When she woke up again, she was already in the hospital with a cast on her leg.

Lines of writing appeared in her field of vision.

【Unexpected Ending: Car Accident】

[There are tens of thousands of roads, and safety comes first. You who came to the big city from the countryside don't know much about the traffic rules here, and you were hit by a speeding car on the road and broke your leg. 】

[Although the car owner paid for the medical expenses, you need someone to take care of you in the hospital, so you have to inform your parents in the countryside. Your parents are determined to take you back to your hometown in the countryside, and your dream of taking root in a big city by relying on hard work and wisdom is also shattered. 】

This is the ending scene in the game, a bit like some PC games use static or dynamic pictures as the ending scene, but in VR mode, it becomes three-dimensional.

Xu Jing was a little crazy: "This is okay? Who would have thought that being hit by a car would directly lead to the end!"

As a veteran of the game, she was a little embarrassed to be overturned so easily.

This can’t be all her fault, mainly because the design logic of the game “Ordinary Life” is different from other VR games.

Although other VR games also try to show reality, they will not set such a high penalty mechanism. For example, even if the player is hit by a car, it is nothing more than a pain, and then he can quickly return to normal through breathing and returning blood.

But "Ordinary Life" is obviously not this kind of design idea. It doesn't care whether the punishment mechanism is high or low, but only cares about whether it is in line with reality.

In other words, it is replacing "game intuition" with "realistic intuition".

Xu Jing learned from the painful experience and started a new game.

This time she learned to be smart. After getting off the bus, she left the bus station and came to the safe place on the side of the road as soon as possible.

Sure enough, he was not hit by a car again.

"So what should I do now?"

Xu Jing was a little confused, she looked around, pedestrians were coming and going, small shops on the side of the road were also operating normally, everything looked the same as in real life.

Especially the North Gate of Jinghai University is a 1:1 replica of reality.

As a student of Jinghai University, Xu Jing was so familiar with this place, so at this moment she was in a trance, feeling like she was dreaming.

Just when she was feeling confused, her cell phone rang.

I took out my phone and saw that there was an eye-catching red dot prompt on the "Character Profile" app.

Xu Jing immediately clicked in, and saw her default profile, height, weight, and appearance, all consistent with the information she reserved in the VR background.

After the popularization of the fifth generation of VR helmets, the role-playing rules of VR games have been thoroughly refined and finalized.

Among the several basic attributes, the gender attribute must strictly correspond to reality and cannot be changed.

This is because if consciousness-connected VR technology can choose gender, there is a risk of confusing the player's self-identity, so it is currently prohibited.

The age attribute of the player basically changes with the game settings. Whether the player can change it depends on whether the game mechanism supports it.

In addition, players can edit the attributes of height, weight, and appearance in the background.

If the player is dissatisfied with his attributes in this aspect and wants to make himself taller, thinner, or better-looking, he can freely adjust, but there is a certain limit.

When entering a new game, the game will call background data by default.

At this time, Xu Jing's personal profile photo in the game shows her appearance set up in the background: it is similar to her in reality, but with a simple face-lifting effect.

In addition, some basic attributes are also stated in the file, such as strength, endurance, concentration, understanding and so on. These basic values ​​will affect the character's working ability and learning efficiency, which can be improved through specific means.

More importantly, in the personal file, you can also choose your initial identity and game difficulty.

At present, there are two identities to choose from, namely [worker] and [college student], and there is another hidden identity, but the activation conditions are very strict: you need to use these two identities to clear the "real difficulty" to activate.

From the point of view of attributes, the physical and psychological quality of working as a worker is better, but the understanding is poor, which means that learning things is slower, and some scenes and activities exclusive to college students cannot be performed, such as eating in school, lodging or organizing Party and so on.

As a college student, although you can have exclusive activities, have high savvy and learn things quickly, but your physical and psychological qualities are poor, and you have much less time for free activities every day than working as a worker, because you have to attend classes and study to ensure that you can graduate smoothly. .

As for difficulty:

"Game Difficulty" is the simplest. Various attributes, including hunger, decrease very slowly. Players will not starve to death even if they eat two meals in three days, and it is no problem to sleep on the street every night.

"Simulation Difficulty" belongs to the normal difficulty, and the requirements have been significantly improved compared with the difficulty of the game. For example, hunger, cleanliness, psychological pressure, job skill requirements, learning skill speed, etc., have all changed significantly.

"Real Difficulty" is the highest difficulty, which is basically consistent with reality.

Take the "hunger degree" attribute as an example, players must eat at least three meals a day, and if they are engaged in heavy physical labor, they also need to eat some heavy oil, salt, and high-nutrition food, otherwise the hunger degree will not be able to withstand it. will also decrease rapidly.

Xu Jing thought for a moment: "Then choose to be a worker, it's really difficult!

"I have experienced the life of a college student long ago, but I have never experienced it as a worker.

"What? You say that I will be deflated if I choose the highest difficulty? No, since it is called 'Real Difficulty', it must reflect the truth. I want to prove to you that the anchor is definitely not an Internet addicted girl who has nothing but learning. I am a chosen laborer who can support myself!"

Xu Jing started the game with confidence.

...

Soon, Xu Jing figured out the general gameplay of this game while stumbling.

Aside from this extremely exquisite shell, its internal gameplay is actually a classic survival gameplay: always pay attention to your own status, and then collect resources as much as possible.

Find something to eat when you are hungry, find a place to rest when you are tired, work to earn money, and then improve your living standards, learn skills, work to earn more money, until you reach a certain clearance condition in the game.

But this does not mean that the gameplay of the game is monotonous, on the contrary, its gameplay is unexpectedly rich!

If you start as a student, you can report directly to the school and allocate a dormitory. In this way, you can at least find a place to live for yourself. The food in the cafeteria is also cheaper, and the cost of living has dropped significantly.

But Xu Jing started as a worker and only had a few hundred dollars with her, so she had to find a job as soon as possible.

There are all kinds of recruitment and job hunting information on the mobile APP, but there are actually fake news here.

There are common scams such as "a typist with a monthly income of more than 10,000" and "a high-paying job abroad". Xu Jing tried it. The former was directly cheated of the deposit, while the latter was an overseas scammer who directly triggered the ending "was cut in the waist" ".

After being dominated by the barrage and making several attempts to die, Xu Jing finally roughly delineated what she can do now.

The non-threshold jobs in this game mainly include: moving bricks, takeaway, courier, intermediary, factory entry, security, stall setting, etc.

Although there is no threshold, these jobs also have obvious differences.

For example, they have different requirements for attributes. Moving bricks and express delivery require a lot of physical strength, while intermediaries require a certain amount of eloquence. Entering the factory seems to require very little, but it will accumulate a lot of mental pressure and cannot obtain any skill points at all.

Their initial investment and specific benefits are also different. Work such as moving bricks and entering the factory does not require any initial investment at all. To deliver food, you have to spend money to rent a car first, or spend money to buy an incubator on the food delivery platform. But if you are a skilled worker, you can earn more money by delivering food.

Additionally, depending on the skills players currently possess, the income earned from these jobs will vary. For example, as long as the player learns the basic skill of military boxing, it will be easier to succeed in applying for a security guard, and the basic salary will be higher.

Of course, after mastering the relevant skills and obtaining a certain amount of capital, players can also try some more advanced jobs, such as going to a restaurant to apply for a chef, going to a shopping mall as a shopping guide, being an online car-hailing driver, and so on.

These are all means for players to make money. In addition, there are many other means of entertainment in the game.

For example, players can play chess on the street, go to Internet cafes to play games, play balloons and rings in the park, and exercise with fitness equipment...

In short, this game is really all-encompassing, and almost all the materials that can be drawn from reality are drawn in!
