How Did It Become a River Crab?

"It's a big problem, please explain in detail." Mo Lan's tone was a little urgent, but obviously, he can't be blamed for this, after all... this is [Big Apple]...

[Big Apple], this very old-fashioned word, is exactly Mo Lan's main mission goal, Wei Luo's exploration dream, and even... it may be the [Answer] or [Answer] or [ Antidote]...

This huge farm recorded in ancient fables, now it seems that it is actually the creation of [Wrong One]!

Brother Wei Luo, it's not a loss for you to lie flat this time.

"Emmmm...does anyone remember what [Big Apple] is?" Venia 121 and the surrounding Venias looked at each other in blank dismay.

"Forget about it." Venia, who had a navel cut in the middle of the tights to highlight the fit waistline, waved her hand and said, "Who remembers that?"

"I'm sorry, I don't have any impression..." A single-braided Venia lowered her head, not daring to look at anyone.

"I remember." In the end, Vinia, who changed her long blue straight hair into a princess cut hairstyle and wore round glasses, raised her hand, "I just re-read the rest of the diary a while ago."

"Okay, 033, tell me."

Venia 033 pushed the glasses and said immediately:

“[The Big Apple] was a food supply project carried out by the misguided people two years before their demise. At that time, the misguided people dug up a batch of extraordinary objects code-named [Seed of Eden] from different dimensions and found that they were useful for large-scale food supply. The potential of the source, so a proving ground has been established in a galaxy, ready to be tested."

"Because it is a superficial record, what is this [Seed of Eden], the location of the experimental galaxy, the method of the experiment, etc., are not mentioned in the log, but one thing can be confirmed, this experiment died in the [Misguided] It failed in the first three days, and the specific reason for the failure is not clear, but judging from the format and notes of the record, this failure is just a routine scientific research accident for the astray, not a major event that will destroy civilization."

"That is to say, [Big Apple] is a failed experimental project of you astray..." Mo Lan nodded, "Doesn't your space station have any information on the location of various experimental areas and planets of astray?"

"Unfortunately, these contents have been automatically deleted." Venia 033 said regretfully, "We only have so much information."

"It doesn't matter, knowing that this is the creation of the misguided, and the name [Seed of Eden] is already a big advancement." Endas nodded, "That's it. What do you want to do next? We can contact the officials of Star Fox Theocracy, and you can make some demands."

"If possible, we still want to continue the dream of the original body and bring some happiness and peace to this galaxy." Venia looked at each other and said: "If there is something that can bring civilization to this galaxy Consolation work, we would gladly do it."

"This request is very general, but the Theocracy should think of a way." En Daxing folded his upper body, "Then, do you have anything else that we need to know or help?"

"There is one thing." Venia 121 said: "Our space station has a device that is used to destroy the entire space station and counterattack the enemy when it encounters a threat. What is the specific effect? ​​There is no record in the original body's memory. I only know that it is An old version that has been eliminated, originally it would not start unless we manually triggered it in the space station, but..."

"There are inexplicable signs of activation during this period of time, or has it already been activated?" Mo Lan sighed, "We are used to it. Come on, where are you?"

"At the bottom." Venia said 121, "Its name... is ["Soul of the Star 3"]..."

Huh, the name has a sense of déjà vu.

Chapter 4.5: You Are So Good at This Game ([-]K)

Under the guidance of Venia, the three crew members of Renzu took the summoned animals all the way down the elevator spider to the bottom of the entire research site.

On the bottom floor of the research site, there is one and only one hall that is blocked by three layers of gates and occupies the entire ground floor space. According to Endas’s estimation, the area of ​​this hall is about the same as a school playground with a 400-meter runway, and the height is about the same It is as high as 3-4 floors of an ordinary teaching building, which is considered spacious.

The gates were extremely hard, but they were vulnerable to the 【Stone Pickaxe】, which was blessed with the durability of the long-term dungeon. After three weak wailings, the three gates shattered and opened, revealing the scenery behind.

Unlike the imagined self-destruct cabin with complex instruments and various weird items, the entire cabin is extremely empty, just a rectangular matchbox-shaped wide space, and only one item is placed in the huge space, which is the An ordinary old-fashioned LCD TV set in the middle of the cabin was placed directly on the ground. There was no lighting in the cabin, and the brilliance projected by the LCD TV screen was the only lighting in this huge room.

A few people asked Viniya to go back to the top floor to wait, and carefully sent the Void Beast brothers to patrol inside. After confirming that there was no problem, they stepped in and walked all the way to the TV. Screen shot above.

It was a very classic game main menu interface. In front of the blurry starry sky background were the words "Soul of the Star 3" written in an unknown language. Below it were [New Game], [Load Save], [Settings], [Exit] and other common main menu options, and the font style is similar to the real-world classic high-difficulty game "Dark Souls" series, which is highly similar to the third part.

There is no doubt that this is a game, and in front of the LCD TV, there is a system similar to PS4, but there are many different game consoles in details, an ordinary wireless game controller, if you upgrade the TV, It looks like the configuration that Mo Lan was fooled into playing Black Soul 3 by her father when she was seven years old.

... How did such a console game become a set of [self-destruct counterattack system]?

Mo Lan glanced at the top of the main menu of the game, and found that there was a red countdown, showing the time was 0:0:0 on 12 month 32 days, and it was still going down. According to what Venia said before, wait When the countdown is over, some unimaginable changes should take place in this game, so that the research station can drag the invaders to be buried with them.

If Endas hadn't discovered this space station at the beginning, perhaps in twelve minutes, Venia and the space station would become another cloud of historical dust in the universe.

Needless to say, this self-destruct system must be [activated] by that unknown existence, just like the retarded AI governor, the silver heart and other things. Several people discussed it and thought that it might be even worse to let this thing go straight away. thing.Decided to let Mo Lan take a look at it to see what kind of crap it is.

But here comes the problem, can't the pliers hold the handle firmly?

When Mo Lan was worrying about this matter, it seemed that she sensed the arrival of the [player], and the handle in front of Mo Lan changed by itself, turning into a very distorted shape. Mo Lan tried it and found that it was the most easily Hold it with double pliers, and the shape of the control handle is very in line with the ergonomics of the crab body, which is shocking.

Mo Lan picked up the handle, and under the nervous gaze of everyone, pressed the lit [New Game] button.

(I know what you are going to ask, the reading game is black, you can't press 0V0)

The screen immediately went black, and after a moment of silence, desolate and sad music sounded. Under the BGM that felt like the first paragraph of "Thus Spoke Zarathustra" at the beginning of "2001: A Space Odyssey", the screen brightened again and began to play an opening screen.

The picture quality of the game is similar to that of "Dark Souls 3", which is suspected to be its real-world prototype. There is not much difference. According to the CG that no one can understand, coupled with some dubbing by the riddleman who sounds very attractive, but I don’t know what to say after listening to it, unless the textual research and rereading in the following plots, otherwise it is completely at a loss (ghost except).

Out of vigilance against this weird game, Mo Lan didn't skip it, but waited until the opening CG ended, and got a general understanding that this should be an adventure story of a traveler in the interstellar age, and then entered the character creation page.

Mo Lan took a look. The appearance of the protagonist is a humanoid creature with the head of a river crab on it. It seems to be changed according to the race of the player. You can pinch the face, but Mo Lan thought about it, in order to prevent any damage to her body. Influenced by it, I decided not to carry forward the face-squeezing technique of a certain UP master surnamed Wang, skip this link directly, and enter the interface of character career selection.

Career selection is also very simple, you can only choose the weapon that comes with the character's birth, with a corresponding initial skill, there are swordsmen with lightsabers, pioneers with power hammers, rogues with single-element whips and sniper guns with sniper rifles hand can choose.

After thinking about it for a while, Mo Lan felt that this kind of weird game probably had the piss of "Only One Life". To be on the safe side, she chose the "Sniper" who seemed to be able to keep the distance the most. The four characters looked crispy in appearance. Reckless man, simply choose a less reckless man.

After the character selection is completed, the screen turns black and then lights up, and the character Mo Lan selected passes through a portal that has not explained its origin, and appears in the center of the screen, at the entrance of a mechanical castle whose main color is red. He didn't explain how he came in, but he just came anyway.

Immediately afterwards, the game changed the novice tutorial of the game by directly throwing out a few panels. Mo Lan looked at it and was basically sure that this is a classic "soul like" game.

The so-called "soul like" is actually based on the gameplay mechanism of "Devil's Soul" and "Dark Soul", two classic role-playing adventure games in Japan. It focuses on exploring complex and changeable maps with various weapons and equipment. Defeat one difficult BOSS after another, and the hard-core exploration combat gameplay that keeps advancing is actually a 3D version of Metroid Castlevania.

Dark Souls 3 is Mo Lan's childhood enlightenment work. Of course, he later played many soul-like games derived from it, but I have to say that most of the games imitate crookedly. The game is difficult to fight, the plot does not speak human language [skin], but did not learn the excellent weapon system, smooth action system and high-quality map design [bone] and [blood], it is tasteless to play, it makes people feel tired. pity.

And these games that have only learned [skin], there are still many games that have not even learned the skin. It is difficult to operate anti-human and disgusting players, and the fragmented narrative cannot stand the test, which is really uncomfortable.

As for the level of this "Soul of the Star 3"... Mo Lan controlled the character to take two steps, rolled around on the ground, used the sniper rifle in his hand, and came to the conclusion that [very loose]...

The character's movements are stiff, shaking back and forth, it feels like there is only one bone in the whole body, and the feel of the sniper rifle is so bad that it explodes. Mo Lan tried it. This gun is fired like this: First, it cannot shoot while moving , this Mo Lan can understand, the sniper rifle is normal, just stand up and open it.

But secondly, this sniper rifle can't just press a button to shoot when standing still. You have to press a button that is a bit awkward to make the character half-kneel down and turn on the [sniper mode]...

You can always shoot after half kneeling down, right?No, you have to TM press another button to turn on the sniper scope, enter the first-person aiming mode, and then manipulate the joystick to slowly move the crosshair of the sniper scope to the enemy's forehead before you can shoot... …

The field of view provided by the sniper scope is only a quarter of the normal picture at best. In addition, the edges of the picture are covered by the round mirror black frame. In fact, only one-fifth of what can be seen is difficult. Grasp the enemy's movement under certain circumstances, and after firing a bullet, the recoil will make the entire sniper scope move up, and you have to manually put it down...

The most disgusting thing is that Mo Lan tried it. Once the gun is withdrawn from the scope, the whole character will cancel the sniper mode and stand up directly. That is to say, if Mo Lan feels that the scope is not good and wants to observe the situation next to him , if you want to return to the scope, you have to repeat the loose operation of standing still, half kneeling, and aiming...

The most exaggerated thing is that the game does not even provide Mo Lan with any other secondary weapons that can be used to deal with enemies at close range. The only melee method is to smash the butt of the gun. It was smashing the gun butt, but it looked like Xiao was setting off flames and devouring X feet. The force of that action was so violent that those who didn't know thought he was holding a moonlight sword...

In the words of a well-known foreign game Tucao video author who has become the tears of the times, the sniper rifle operation of this game is like [a piece of pre-industrial cyber holy shit, survived the progress of the fucking times The mentally handicapped patient who should not exist, no one should be tortured by this horror]...

As the saying goes, the big is seen from the small, the human-computer interaction of an initial weapon is so sparse, and Mo Lan is not looking forward to the content of the game after that...

After a simple trial, it was no surprise that after finding that he could not exit the game, Mo Lan picked up the thin sniper rifle and was ready to go on the road.

The reason for not being more cautious is simple. Everyone found that even though the game had already started, the scarlet countdown on the screen still showed no signs of ending.

He controlled the characters, walked forward step by step with stiff steps, and entered the large and empty square of the space station, which had no aesthetic sense of map design at all. He saw the first batch of enemies, distributed in twos and threes on the square The mechanical soldier with the knife looks very similar to the mechanical soldier that appeared when he fought against the mentally retarded AI and the negative countdown general.

The countdown is passing by, Mo Lan sees this, and asks everyone else to leave the room, and stay by himself. It is a little bit that can be played before the countdown ends, and it is not too late. He immediately... controlled the character to stop, squat down slowly, Turn on the sniper scope, start to move the slow sniper lens, whose sensitivity cannot even be adjusted, aim at the enemy and pull the trigger.

Fortunately, the damage of the sniper rifle is not too thin, and it is not a problem to kill an enemy with one bullet. Mo Lan is alone, step by step, enduring the difficult feeling of sniping all the way forward, and finds that all the enemies in this level are There is only one kind, and that is the knife-wielding mechanical soldier that appeared at the beginning.The action is fast, the number is quite large, and the attack method is very monotonous, but it is not very easy to fight because of the loose sniper feel, and it often happens that you are forced to run around with a sniper rifle.

...How did this game get to 3?The first part should be a violent death and a complete funeral, right?

Tucao to Tucao, relying on rich experience in soul games, successfully came to the first novice boss with 15 seconds left in the countdown, and Mo Lan finally saw an enemy type other than a mechanical soldier with a knife, a...

...a mechanical soldier with a knife twice as big.

Come on, whatever you want, just treat it as a marathon, and pay tribute to a certain mystery novelist in a purple suit and finish it off.

This game seems to be level-based. The portal leading to the next level is behind the boss. After defeating the boss, you can enter the next level.

Before jumping into the prototype site where the BOSS station is opened, Mo Lan sorted out the props next to the save point that looks like a holographic bonfire, and planned to use the experience points obtained before to upgrade the characters. After all, there is a high probability that there is only one life, so it is still prudent as well.

And at this moment, the scarlet countdown finally reached zero.

At the moment when the countdown ended, there was no explosion or any terrifying sound, but Mo Lan still felt a tingling sensation in his scalp for a moment.

The reason is very simple. The boss, the large mechanical soldier with a knife... moved at the moment the countdown ended.

He took a few steps forward, jumped out of the boss battle platform that originally belonged to him, and climbed onto the save point platform where Mo Lan's character was located!

Just when Mo Lan thought it was going to come directly to compare the depth of the sword with him, this BOSS did something that made Mo Lan prefer that he come to fight with her bayonet.

...It ignored the player character, and continued to stride forward, stepping on the dull metal percussion sound of the background music, walking towards the way Mo Lan came, towards the place where the game started.

As a player with rich experience in various games and a big brain, at this moment, Mo Lan roughly guessed how this [game] made a space station [self-destruct] and [counterattack].

Mo Lan didn't hesitate, and immediately opened the sniper scope and started shooting the boss from behind. With one shot, the boss' health bar dropped by a section, and the damage was quite good. But when Mo Lan moved the thin rearview mirror back, The boss is already getting closer to Mo Lan's birth point with a larger stride.

When Mo Lan controlled the character to chase and shoot, repeated the laxative operation several times in succession, and finally hit the BOSS's blood volume below 25%, it finally walked out of the mechanical castle in the game and stepped on Mo Lan. On the [Entrance Platform] where the player character was born, stepped into the portal where the player character was born.

Then, it disappeared.

At the same time, in the huge hall of [Real World] where Mo Lan's main body was, in front of Mo Lan, a tall giant soldier with a long knife in his hand and a quarter of his HP remaining appeared out of thin air, standing in front of Mo Lan. In the open space behind the TV!

……really.

Just like what Mo Lan thought, the monsters in this [game] will move towards the birth point after the countdown is over, and then... directly appear in the [real world]!

This is an abnormal game set that will continuously release monsters in it, and rely on this method to self-destruct and fight back against invaders at the same time!

At the same time, Mo Lan, who was at a higher point, thought of something, turned the camera sharply, looked towards the platform where the previous boss was staying, and found that in the portal leading to the next level, there were a few miserable green, very Uncreative giant spider monsters crawled out of it, also headed towards the spawn point.

Mo Lan knew what they were, they were the monsters from the [Second Level], they passed through the beginning of the second level, and the portal at the end of the first level ran over from the next level, and they wanted to fight the giant mechanical soldiers before. Same, heading towards the portal to the real world.

In other words, at this moment, in the entire game, the monsters of all levels, like everyone in a building going down the stairs at the same time towards the exit of the building, are rushing here like a tsunami!

Chapter 6.5: After all, I am superior ([-]K)

Seeing a giant mechanical soldier appear out of thin air in front of Mo Lan, the little brother who was watching outside the door immediately roared, rushed in from outside the door, flapped his wings and flew into the air, and went straight to the knife-wielding man who wanted to open Mo Lan's shell and take it out. Crab Roe's BOSS took out the [Facial Piercer] from his back just now, and the muzzle burst into golden light and billowing flames at the same time. The younger brother pulled the trigger, and the golden bullets wrapped in raging flames shot out. , All of them were bombarded on the robot's head.

The giant mechanical soldier staggered a few steps on his back after being hit by this shot, lost his balance, and fell to the ground with a bang. The big metal face plate suspected of plagiarizing "Terminator" was covered with hideous bullet holes, and the flames shot from the bullet holes. The outer escape spread out, looking like a ghost being tortured.

[Face Piercer] The attack of this shotgun can have most of the melee effects, which is equivalent to the extension of my brother's iron fist. Therefore, my brother can even attach [Sand Field Pride] to the muzzle of this gun, [Forcing Flame Fist] These two special skills of strengthening boxing make it blast out like a long-range flying fist.

Coupled with the physical blessing of my little brother's own [Wing Chun Fist], [Ping E Qi Jin], and even the previous passive skills such as Gangli's bald head, and even the high-quality output of the purple-quality shotgun itself, this gun is actually a direct shotgun. The remaining quarter of the blood of the boss was melted on the spot, and the dead body of the boss turned into a streamer, which got into the TV in front of Mo Lan, and part of it turned into a key to unlock the portal to the next level. Part of it turned into a loot box and fell in front of the character controlled by Mo Lan.

But at this moment, Mo Lan was in a hurry. He was busy dealing with the spider monsters pouring out from the portal of the next level.

Compared with the mechanical soldiers in the first level, these spider monsters move much faster, and their blood volume has also increased exaggeratedly. The sniper originally used by Mo Lan can knock down a monster with only one shot. At present, it takes three shots to send away a spider. In addition, this game has an obvious bad habit of accumulating monsters. The monsters rushing out of the portal in the second level are already ten times more than the total number of the first level. It's coming, the whole Mo Lan crab has red hair, and he almost wants to smash the handle.
