A famous coffee shop.
A man and a woman were drinking coffee and chatting, looking very business-like.
The woman seemed to be in her 30s, wearing gold-rimmed glasses. She looked confident and charming, especially her pair of red lips which were particularly eye-catching and you could tell at first glance that they were often used in her career.
"So... you want to learn how to learn a language you've never seen before from scratch?"
The fox nodded: "That's right... After I looked up some information, I found that the language I saw seems to be unused on Earth today... So, I need to start from scratch."
The woman laughed: "What? The captain of a famous gaming club changed his career to become an archaeologist? You should ask those old professors about this question. Why are you looking for a little translator like me..."
Yaohu: "No, my problem now is... I'm playing a game where the characters can use these languages. It seems to be a complete system. I can communicate with them using body language. It's not an archaeological text, and I don't need to know how to write their text. You just need to tell me how to quickly communicate with a human from an unfamiliar civilization. I need it urgently."
The woman took a sip of her cappuccino.
"Hmm... Are you saying that the official game you play has developed its own language system? This... is not impossible. Some big names who write books have done it. If a powerful game company is willing to spend the money, it can also make it... But this is the first time I heard of a game company deliberately making a game where players can't understand what the NPCs say."
Yaohu shrugged. "The chief designer of the game said that it was to increase the realism of the game and let players feel like they were traveling to another world... Anyway, I need a translator now."
The woman adjusted her gold-rimmed glasses and held the coffee cup with both hands under her chest.
"If you just want to have some simple communication... First you need to find an informant... This is what a foreign language master said, which should be translated as 'a native speaker who provides data for linguistic research'. Through him saying something you want to know, you can explore and organize a new language system, from pronunciation to morphology to vocabulary database."
Demon Fox: "You mean to find a local who can cooperate?"
Woman: "You can understand it this way. Only when the person assisting you can correctly provide the information you want, can you accurately know the specific meaning of a certain word or sentence. Then you two need to work together for a period of time to reach a tacit understanding that can more accurately understand each other's intentions, and then you can add more grammatical structures, including tone and other content."
The fox nodded, motioning for her to continue.
Woman: "Find this helper, and you can quickly get started with this language."
"First, you need to prepare some basic daily necessities that you can get on hand, as well as a pen and lots of paper. You will need a lot of drawing when learning the language to let the other person know your intentions."
“Through voice, gestures, graphic media, and action assistance, we start with semantic communication, basically following the strategy of moving from self to others, from simple to complex, and from concrete to abstract.”
“The specific operation is as follows… ”
"first... ... "
"Secondly..."
"Then... ... "
"Finally... it worked."
"Do you understand?"
Yaohu turned off the recording on her phone: "I'll listen to it a few more times when I get home, thank you... By the way, can you pay for the coffee before you leave?"
The woman shook her head: "... ... You were the one who treated others to coffee before. Why bother? If you want to make a comeback... Contact me."
She left carrying the exquisite little bag.
The woman's name is Lin Yu, whom I met at Yaohu when she was working. She has a very high talent for languages. At the age of 32, she has mastered more than 20 foreign languages and is proficient in 8 commonly used foreign languages.
Extraordinarily gifted.
The fox demon got the information he wanted and went back home.
“With Apocalypse Online... everything is different.”
He wants to get back everything he lost in this game!
With his knowledge, he certainly knows what kind of storm this game will cause when it is officially launched.
RPG, MOBA, brush games... all of them, step aside!
From now on, there will only be two kinds of games in the world, one is called "Apocalypse OL" and the other is called other games!
Not to mention that this game will not be in closed beta testing unless the data is deleted, even if it is in closed beta testing, he will continue to play to obtain more information.
Sitting at her computer desk, Yaohu translated all of Lin Yu's recordings into text and memorized them in her mind.
If everyone can't communicate with the NPCs in the game, he will have an advantage that no one else has if he learns it!
"I, the fox demon... will definitely prove myself once again!"
With these teammates, he is very confident.
Uh... except Lintang.

"Mr. Pu, I didn't find the company that developed the game you mentioned... After tracking their official website domain name, I found it in a very remote place. I guess it's a fake registration address from overseas, which is... what we often call a black household, which is not legal."
"As for virtual reality games... Actually, our company is also making them. Decades ago, Mr. Pu personally directed the DYchat virtual social software that became popular all over the world. VR technology is now very mature, but... neither we nor our competitors have made any breakthrough progress in brain-computer interfaces, so... if the game is really the same as you described, perhaps... the pattern of the gaming world will be completely changed."
"And... if we can't find the game developer, then it's very likely that... the people above are personally in charge of it. Multi-national cooperation is not impossible. Although the internal testing phase is looking for Chinese players, who knows if there are foreign internal testing players in other regions? The energy crisis has become more and more serious in recent years. Perhaps... virtual reality games will be the key to solving the problem."
The words of the game director Lao Meng made Pu Shenqi fall into deep thought.
“It’s not developed by a major game company… Is it a national team’s fault?”
"What is the identity of that sentinel?"
This game may not be as simple as it seems.
However... he felt that Lao Meng's reasoning made some sense.
If we could create a completely realistic virtual reality game, billions of people around the world could spend the rest of their lives playing it.
Only some nutrient solution is needed to provide all the living expenses of a person. However, a hundred years later, when the first group of humans who entered the virtual reality world died naturally, the human population would be directly reduced by billions.
By then, the earth’s energy crisis will definitely be solved.
"It's just a game... There are so many things to it. Whatever, if the sky falls, my grandfather's company will support it. I'll just enjoy my life!"
In fact, for most people, it is better to live a free life in the virtual world than to spend a miserable life.
Pu Shenqi is not such a person, but it makes no sense not to play a good game.
“So… when can I go online? I can’t defeat the boss and I feel like ants are crawling all over my body!”
... ...
"How dare a game that has not obtained a version number be so brazenly tested internally? Shouldn't this ban it?"
"Close the internal beta test reservation entrance first!"
Feng Yi's classmate is an Internet police officer. After receiving the news from Feng Yi, he immediately found this small website called "End of the World OL".
It is a completely three-no product. Based on his experience... This is most likely a fake website, which contains either Trojans or viruses, and there may also be some entrance that guides you to recharge.
However, when he tried it, he was surprised to find that... he couldn't shut down the website.
"Strange... Even if it's an overseas website, it will be closed if I cut off its network connection."
But after trying several times, the Internet police were unable to do anything about this small website.
I asked the game monitoring department for help, but there was no solution.
"What the hell is this website? Let's have a hacker team come and hack it and see!"
The Red Hacker Team here is actually... hackers with good intentions who have been recruited by the official.
Their strength... let's put it this way, it can paralyze the Pentagon for half an hour.
Dealing with a small website is naturally a piece of cake.
