Just like in small cities or towns in the country, there is always an electric play chair at the entrance of the convenience store, and a coin-operated one can allow children to sit on the cute little animals and ride for a while accompanied by cheerful songs. At this moment This coffee shop in Manchester also has a corresponding game console equipment that guests can use to relax and entertain during their breaks.
It's not the kind of rocker arcade in China.
At the moment, placed in the corner of the coffee shop is an outdated game console and an electronic screen. On the console in front of it are nine small buttons arranged in a nine-square grid. There are also cute stickers on the side body. Gopher cartoon image.
Tang Bingyao didn't seem to be very familiar with this kind of game machine, but No. 1 and No. 5 on the side guessed Bullet's intention at first sight, and No. 1 raised his eyebrows, showing a bit of interest. look:
"Gopher machine..."
"I haven't touched this thing in a long time."
The number five next to him smiled and said, "Yes, but it seems that when Xiaofeng and the others were trained, they used this kind of machine, right?"
No. 1 shrugged: "It's not that big, wasn't it still the kind of portable type that Baozi bought on the Internet and can carry around? Everyone has one... I usually take it when I have nothing to do or sit on the plane bus. Out for training—those guys were lazy, and sneakily removed the battery, pretending to be out of power, thinking I didn’t notice—”
No. 5 covered his mouth and chuckled: "Didn't No. 3 show up directly with a bag of batteries, Xiao Feng and the others were so dumbfounded that they wanted to cry without tears."
Thinking of some interesting memories from that year, it always made the two of them couldn't help but smile.
Tang Bingyao was a little confused, but before the girl wanted to ask the two seniors about the specific situation, Bullet on the side had already frowned and coughed. No. Sorry to smile:
"Okay, don't talk about that—"
"Tangtang, just listen to your senior Bullet's arrangement."
Number 1 on the side blinked at Tang Bingyao:
"rest assured."
"This kind of thing... is completely your strength, girl."
With a little bit of encouragement.
Tang Bingyao was at a loss for a while, looked at the game console in front of him that was not yet used for the time being, and then looked carefully at Bullet beside him:
"senior?"
Bullet gave an "um", and his expression returned to indifference and majesty again:
"It's a gopher machine."
"Ordinary people... of course they're just playing around."
"But for professional e-sports players, it's a pretty good tool for testing hand speed."
"I'll show you a demonstration first."
After speaking, he turned to face the game machine, took out a coin and threw it into the coin slot, and soon the light on the electronic screen of the game machine lit up, accompanied by a burst of cheerful music, a cartoon picture appeared on the screen, as if It is a nine-square pattern corresponding to the nine buttons of the console. There are nine holes in total. At the middle of the hole, there is a cute little gopher poking out his head and blinking his eyes as if looking at the people outside the screen.
Bullet reached out and pressed the button twice at random.
Immediately, the screen jumped for a while, and three option boxes appeared in the center of the screen—
Easy.
Hard.
Nightmare.
They represent different game difficulties, and after calling this interface, Bullet directly selected the last nightmare mode without any hesitation, and pressed the button.
The picture on the screen flickered a few times again, and then the three option boxes quickly disappeared. Instead, a formal game interface appeared, and two numerical statistics bars began to appear at the top of the screen, one was "0: 00" for the time display, and the other for the gopher count of "0".
After a while, the cartoon characters "Game-Start" appeared in the center of the screen.
next moment.
Gophers began to appear in Jiugongge's underground cave.
At the same time, the fingers of Bullet, whose right hand was already resting on the console, also moved quickly.
At the beginning, the speed of the hamsters emerging from the burrow was not very fast. It was almost one per second. It seemed that it was not enough for the so-called "nightmare" difficulty. Tang Bingyao explained quietly:
"For both the normal easy and hard modes, the frequency of the gophers is fixed."
"However, the difficulty of Nightmare has no time limit and no difficulty limit. At the beginning, the frequency of the gophers is slightly lower than that of the Hard mode, but as time goes by, the gophers will appear faster and faster—"
Tang Bingyao understood a little, nodded, and couldn't help being curious:
"That… "
"What's the fastest?"
"Is there really no upper limit?"
No. 5 laughed when he heard it: "No upper limit is just a gimmick, this kind of ordinary machine can't stand the exaggerated picture jumping and data writing speed, and it will stabilize at an upper limit value later. But... just trying to reach that extreme value is no longer an easy task."
Just when No. 5 patiently explained to Tang Bingyao, nearly a minute had passed on the game screen of the gopher machine.
The frequency of gophers appearing in Jiugongge underground caves obviously began to accelerate.
At first it was just one per second.
But at this time, 1 minute has passed, and the count display in the upper right corner of the screen has reached "103".
Slowly Tang Bingyao began to see some of the patterns. It seemed that every thirty seconds or so, the frequency of the appearance of the gophers would speed up, and from two minutes onwards, the appearance of gophers was not one at a time, but It's two cases at the same time.
You can already see the meaning of some nightmare difficulty.
"Being able to stabilize this kind of hand speed is almost a matter of barely reaching the qualification standard of a professional player."
The number 1 on the side commented in a leisurely tone.
It was in English, so the one-handed Bullet sneered when he heard it: "Is this a qualifying standard? When has the requirements of professional e-sports players been put so low?"
As if it was responding to Bullet's attitude, the next moment when the game time had reached three minutes, the difficulty suddenly increased again—
The frequency of the gophers has suddenly increased again!
It's been a little bit hard to catch the eyes clearly.
And in the Jiugongge underground cave, three gophers began to appear one after another at the same time.
The speed of Bullet's one-handed operation also suddenly increased and accelerated. A series of crisp button clicks continued to explode, and it still kept up with the appearance of each gopher, one did not fall, and the count display in the upper right corner of the screen increased. It is growing at a dizzying rate.
Tang Bingyao couldn't help but widen her eyes, and a thought of surprise subconsciously came up in her mind—
Good... so fast!
On the other side, No. 5 seemed to see what the girl was thinking at the moment, and smiled slightly:
"Not in a hurry."
"This is just the beginning."
