"You used to be the character of a 2D comic. Now you are going to do real-life modeling. Of course, on the basis of keeping the original details as much as possible, a certain secondary design and entertainment processing will be carried out."

"The author of 'Eternal Day' has passed away, so after contacting his editor friend, the modeler made adjustments to your look."

Having said that, Yi Shuige took off the nose pads of his glasses again, revealing his eyes with thin threads of light, and looked at Nanzhou seriously.

"According to the settings of the original version, under normal circumstances, you are an ordinary teenager of about 1.7 meters, the most inconspicuous one. And with each player's entry, your normal face will be randomly updated. It has a public face model library of up to 267 pieces."

"This design is to enhance the suspense and add the game link of 'letting players find the Nanzhou in the town'."

"The dungeon of "Eternal Day" is positioned as a suspenseful battle. The game flow is expected to be 3 to 12 hours, and the date will be fixed on the night before the most glamorous 'The Day of Extreme Day' in the original setting."

"Players need to identify who is the boss in their daily interactions, and beware of attacks by other light charms, or find out the terrain as soon as possible, and use props to kill all kinds of mobs, and Boat' is a boss whose strength, intelligence, speed, and agility all reach S-level."

"After you become a luminous charm, your appearance will be restored as much as possible according to the comics, and your height will increase to 2 meters 1, forming a contrast."

"Your hair will turn into a snow-white air wave, and you will produce sharp and long fish-ear peripherals that have a dolphin-level perception of sound, and you can use the medium of 'light' to strangle players. stronger."

Nan Zhou touched his earlobe.

Yi Shuige supported Side Yi, her expression seemed relaxed, but her tone was a little serious.

"So, Nan Zhou, I'm asking you now, are the settings I'm talking about the same as your experience?"

Nan Zhou shook his head.

He never had those weird settings.

But suddenly one day, someone broke into his world and painted an apple on his seemingly rich but blank canvas of life.

Li Yinhang heard in a fog, "What does this mean?"

"Let me put it another way." Yi Shuige said, "Nanzhou, in your understanding, before you met the player for the first time, do you have any previous memories?"

Li Yinhang thought about it, and seemed to understand Yi Shuige's question.

In the comics of "Eternal Day", Nan Zhou is indeed the protagonist.

But when "Eternal Day" became a popular game, "Nanzhou" itself was no longer so important.

More importantly, game designers must do their best to satisfy the player's sense of immersion, the player's sense of refreshment, and the player's desire to explore.

The player is the most important.

Therefore, in this newly constructed virtual world, it is impossible for Nan Zhou, the boss, to know his past.

He is supposed to be a beautiful, powerful, model manipulated by all kinds of data to the extreme to serve the player.

Hearing such a previous situation, even the irritable Xie Xiangyu became quiet.

He looked at Nan Zhou with surprise, and the frenzy of interest in his eyes burned again.

Under several curious, amazed, or fanatical gazes, Nan Zhou only felt a hand secretly grabbing his wrist, pressing his knuckles against the butterfly tattoo on his wrist, and gently rubbing it soothingly.

Jiang Fang didn't look at him.

He just smiled slightly and stood with him, meeting those glances together.

Nan Zhou suddenly felt relieved.

He responded "Yeah."

He has memory.

It was a long, 20-plus year of loneliness.

After the end of "Eternal Day", his life is still continuing and developing silently, blooming a little flower that no one knows about.

Li Yinhang's face changed greatly.

For a while, countless thoughts intertwined in her mind, and her head was blown up, "Then, what does this mean—"

Jiang Fang raised his other hand, pressed a point on the back of Li Yinhang's head, and exerted force with his fingertips to help her soothe her emotions.

But what he said made Li Yinhang's hair stand on end.

"Representing... Nanzhou has always existed."

"Since he was born in "Eternal Day", he has been living in the world of "Eternal Day"."

"The game does not recreate a world, but somehow breaks the barriers between the two worlds, intentionally or unintentionally."

Li Yinhang twisted the corner of his clothes tightly, and said abruptly, "Is this possible?"

If this statement is true, then do the comics and novels she has read since she was a child also contain a real world

Will they be in pain, cry, unwittingly pushed by the plot to an ending they can't predict

She instinctively resisted such a conclusion.

But Jiang Fang easily broke her defense with just one sentence.

"Don't you think this kind of behavior is familiar?"

Jiang Fang said, "If all this is impossible, why are we in an inexplicable game now?"

Yi Shuige slowly let out a sigh of relief.

"If he is different..." Jiang Fang turned his attention to Yi Shuige and asked another question, "As engineers who build the game world, you should be the first to find out something is wrong."

Hearing this, Yi Shuige took off his sunglasses and pressed his eyes twice.

He is very familiar with this action, and it is probably a common action when he is thinking.

"The copy of "Eternal Day" has been replaced by two chief engineers."

"The first chief engineer's surname is Mo. I know him. He likes to dance the waltz, and he is quite romantic in his life."

"Mo Gong likes "Eternal Day" very much and pursues the ultimate perfection. Therefore, he asked for pixel-level restoration of the closed location of Never Town, and the requirements for the key element of 'light and shadow' reached the peak level of perversion. ."

"His programmers were beaten to death by him, but he showed me the concept map."

"It has to be said that if his conception is completed, it will be another miracle of the ninth art."

"but… "

Yi Shuige raised his eyes and looked at everyone, "On the day the 'miracle' started the test, he died."

"He smashed the glass on the nineteenth floor and jumped down. The reason is unknown, and there is no suicide note."

The more objectively and calmly he described, the more stern it was.

"No one knows why he died."

"This incident has been on the news for a while, and finally, according to surveillance, he jumped off himself. It wasn't a homicide."

Yi Shuige described the scene in the surveillance in detail to them.

A man in his 30s, in a cubicle with all the lights out, in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows with thousands of lights and neon as the background, facing himself reflected in the middle, dancing with his hands and face with a dazed expression.

He wrapped his arms around his Void partner inexplicably and finished the last solo waltz of his life.

Immediately, he smashed the glass with the computer, and jumped down against the wind amid the harsh siren.

"This iron-clad evidence, combined with his long-term use of anti-anxiety medication himself, leaves no one suspecting that he was not suicidal."

"The final conclusion is that the work pressure is too much. How should I put it, there is no surprise."

"The deputy chief engineer surnamed Cen, took over his position, and everything returned to normal."

"... No, it should be said, everything is even more abnormal."

According to Yi Shuige's description, Deputy Chief Engineer Cen spent nearly three days to clarify the materials and data left by Mo Gong.

Then, he seemed to be possessed by Mo Gong's ghost.

He, who has never been so critical, started working around the clock, almost like a madman.

He grasped the core and drastically overturned the original modeling plan, requiring to re-model according to the appearance in the Nanzhou comics, and completely do it himself.

- He was originally a modeler.

He has all the power, and other designers, programmers, testers and modelers are all arranged under an inherent framework by his detailed schedule. They did not know each other's work process, so they all went to Cen's Deputy General Worker's Office to oversee them.

This means that his workload will increase exponentially.

But he never tires of it.

… but he was not such a person at all.

Yi Shuige concluded, "It's like he discovered a new world."

"He declared that he was on a great quest, a journey into another world."

Jiang Fang frowned slightly, "Is there no one in charge of him?"

"Everyone in the company has a lot of work pressure. It's normal to have some strange words and deeds." Yi Shuige said, "I've also seen someone in the pantry, wearing a singlet and shorts, saying that he is going to become a light already."

"After the game was launched, of course, the feedback I got was that it was too difficult, and the boss was too intelligent. There were also some fans who protested, saying that it was this kind of 'liberation' achieved by killing Nan Zhou, which was the same as the original book's yearning for freedom and fighting for freedom. The spirit does not match.”

"However, the volume of these fans is too low, and most of them still feel that it is too difficult to kill 'Nanzhou', which affects the player's experience."

Yi Shuige made the time line very clear, the thinking was clear, and he explained it in a eloquent manner, so Li Yinhang could also keep up with his thinking.

Li Yinhang asked, "Did Mo Gong have multiple endings when he was hosting "Eternal Day"?"

"Yes." Yi Shuige said, "Assistant Cen cut off the multiple ending lines, kept the 'kill the boss' line, and cut off the 'I'll take you out' line of influence."

"Now it seems... probably because he can neither erase the memory of an existing character, worry that the player's repeated deception with the purpose of customs clearance will be counterproductive, make you unbelievable, and cause the 'game' to get out of control, and also afraid You can really come out with the players."

Having said that, Yi Shuige stroked his lips.

"There's another point, it's very interesting. I didn't understand it in the past, but now I can probably figure it out. - That is, from the public beta to the official operation of the copy of "Eternal Day", there has never been any scene or character bugs, and the operation is too much. Smooth."

"The most complaints received so far are just too difficult."

"Under the strong request of the company, Deputy Cen made two corrections and adjustments, but each time he did it himself, and the correction process was unbelievably long."

When Yi Shuige was late one day, he saw Deputy Worker Cen staggering out of the office building.

Under the sun, he was like a pale and vain wandering soul, and the dark circles under his eyes were almost pressed into rings on a dead tree stump.

Yi Shuige put it in his pocket and dangled his hand in front of him.

He had no doubt that this person would fall to the ground and die suddenly at any time.

Assistant Cen's sanity seemed to be approaching the limit due to the long-term suffering.

With a blank face, he said hello to Yi Shuige and walked straight forward.

After walking a few steps away, he suddenly seemed to have loaded the emoji function, turned his head, and smiled, "Consultant Yi?"

Yi Shuige turned around.

Deputy Cen lowered his voice mysteriously and said, "Have you... ever seen a miracle?"

Abandoning these mindless words, he swayed away like a penguin.

All kinds of doubts have been laid out, and all of them have verified Jiang Fang's previous speculations.

Mo Gong opened the door.

He couldn't accept the existence of another world, or wanted to go to another world.

In short, he chose death.

Assistant Cen fell in love with the world behind the door.

He kept the door and let others work together to build a superficial game world exactly like this world.

But he will send unknowing players into the deeper inner world, and let them experience this natural game world while relying on the game's security mechanism.

That is, the world belonging to Nanzhou.

Nan Zhou thought of the weird frog webbed palm on the snowy mountain.

A tin soldier who has lost his autonomy in a copy of the Brain Invasion Library.

And flocks of wild swans in the wild swan copy.

Those, will they also be sent by a higher dimension and left by some players

After explaining all the information he knew, Yi Shuige simply stood up and said, "Okay, I'm done. It's almost time for us to go."

"You'd better not stay in the same place for too long. I'm not sure if the various positioning tools in the hands of those players are useful to you."

Nan Zhou "Do you know where we're going?"

Yi Shuige smiled, "If it were me, I would go there. So you have to be mentally prepared, there will not be very few people waiting for you there. Get ready."

He turned around and touched Xie Xiangyu's head, "Wait for me here."

Xie Xiangyu abruptly dodged and sneered, "Don't touch me. Be careful I bite off your fingers."

Yi Shuige's brain doesn't seem to have loaded the "anger" module at all. "The ability to express is very good. Try to say complete words next time in bed."

When Xie Xiangyu's breathing rate increased significantly, Nan Zhou carried Nanji Star to Yi Shuige's side.

Yi Shuige glanced at Jiang Fang, winked at Nan Zhou, and asked in a low voice, "You don't want to hear about him?"

He was referring to the fact that Jiang Fang was the only surviving player after a serious accident in Gravity.

Nan Zhou was clearly interested, but after showing that little interest, he kept his mouth shut.

Yi Shui Ge wanted to know the reason.

Nan Zhou gave him a reason, "He will tell me."

… Although reluctantly, he would blush, but he would stare into his eyes and tell himself word by word.

Nan Zhou wanted to hear Jiang Fang speak to him like this. :,
