#483 - With a weird bug, "Krypton Gold Simulator: Lying Down Life" is launched
Time flew by, and it was finally the game's launch day.
D Station UP master Xiaoyao Sanren's live broadcast room.
Sanren said excitedly:
"Hello everyone, I'm Sanren.
Today is a big day! Did you know that just now, I got my hands on 'Golden Krypton Simulator: Lie Flat Survival,' the highly anticipated game!"
"Haha, you must be envious that I have the honor of appreciating this game one step ahead of you, right? But it's no wonder, because you little suns probably barely make enough money from your part-time jobs to buy a couple's meal.
Asking you to shell out a few hundred yuan to buy a game at once is too much for you Buddhist layabouts."
"But to be honest, I bought this game with great expectations.
After all, this is a deluxe production.
Did you know that even the industry has been praising it as a 'milestone work that will refresh the exploitation experience?'"
"I watched the trailer, and the game simulates the situation of the social bottom being exploited by capital.
From combat to plot, from social interaction to the achievement system, everything is showing that feeling of physical and mental exhaustion and helplessness."
"Some people say this is a marketing gimmick to attract attention.
But you have to keep your eyes open and see clearly.
The game company regards 'exploitation' as the ultimate selling point, and the entire design idea is to make players experience the pain of being ruthlessly exploited as much as possible!"
"I bet that as long as you really play this game, it will definitely make you feel the pain of being ruthlessly exploited by capital while being fleeced of your money.
At that time, you wage slaves will definitely cry and realize what it means to be a real 'exploited person!'"
"But you don't have to envy me too much.
Anyway, during the live broadcast later, I will take you to experience how 'exploitative' this game is.
I promise, when you see me being slaughtered, you will definitely applaud and cheer!"
……
As the game's startup screen gradually faded, the main interface finally appeared in front of Xiaoyao Sanren.
On the screen was a dimly lit, damp, and cluttered rental house.
The small space was filled with messy furniture and daily necessities, with beer cans and takeaway boxes scattered everywhere.
Sitting on the only dilapidated sofa was a gaunt, decadent middle-aged man.
He was disheveled and thinly dressed, with his legs crossed in front of him, staring blankly at the game console in his hand, as if using this method to escape reality.
Although the surrounding environment was simple and crude, he seemed to be numb to it.
The only thing that could show that he still had a trace of life was probably the desire revealed in his eyes.
Just then, the game finished loading and entered the main topic.
A middle-aged male image named "Tang Ping" gradually appeared on the screen.
He looked like the down-and-out man who was playing the game just now.
"Ah, another very 'ordinary' day," Tang Ping said to himself, his tired voice full of frustration.
As if to confirm his words, the following plot scene vividly showed his "ordinary" life today: Early in the morning, this man in his forties got up to dress and prepare to go to work.
But on closer inspection, his expression was very listless, and he didn't even have the energy to cheer up from his morning grumpiness.
When he arrived at the company, he started his heavy work like all the bottom-level white-collar workers.
Data entry, email processing, colleague fights... Once upon a time, all of this was his daily routine.
But unknowingly, the accumulated fatigue and pressure finally made his spirit begin to feel overwhelmed.
Finally, in a small work error, his supervisor had a lot of complaints about him and reprimanded him severely.
Faced with this unfair accusation, Tang Ping could not hide the resentment in his heart, and therefore began to feel powerless in his work and inefficient.
Finally, a serious error occurred in one link, and he was punished by the superior.
"It's like this again... How can there be so many reasons!" Back home, Tang Ping was still complaining helplessly about today's experience.
"How can I have the energy to continue to be exploited?"
He glanced at the stack of bills on the table, and felt that it was simply the last straw that broke the camel's back.
Yes, in the past half month, he had been working overtime in order to complete the work as soon as possible, but no matter how much effort he put in, the leaders were always dissatisfied with their work and found various reasons to scold them, deduct wages, and deduct performance.
"I've had enough, enough of being exploited and squeezed like this!" He smiled bitterly and finally made up his mind, "Forget it, let's stop here.
I'm already... I can't hold on anymore."
Saying that, he turned on the small game console, and his expression suddenly became much more relaxed, as if it was his only spiritual sustenance.
"Anyway, we are the protagonists in the 'game', and only there can we, the exploited class, experience a different kind of liberation."
So, his exhausted body plunged into the virtual world of the game and began an unprecedented otherworld experience.
……
Just as Tang Ping turned on the game console and prepared to devote himself to the virtual world, a dazzling game advertisement suddenly popped up on the computer screen.
The advertisement was particularly eye-catching, with a brand-new green main color and various popular elements, which looked quite noisy.
In the center was an exaggerated and funny cartoon character image, all green, even the hair was a verdant plant shape.
This guy was putting on a "hehehe" smirk, looking quite wretched and rogue.
"Hi, I'm the game spokesperson Zhazhahui!" the advertising character introduced himself, and the voice was the kind that people couldn't stand listening to.
"Want to make money? Download 'Making Money Life' now, and get an 8888 diamond gift package online, worth 888 yuan!" Zhazhahui said with a wink, looking like a fallen man in the market.
"Wow, so many diamonds are given away as soon as it goes online?" Tang Ping couldn't help but gasp when he saw this.
"That's not all, the game also has various local tyrant gold bracelets, super handsome robes, and unlimited flying little dragon girls waiting for you to unlock!" the advertising slogan further tempted.
At the same time, various gorgeous in-game scenes began to be played in a loop on the screen.
I saw golden light shining on it, and it was filled with various gorgeous fashions, weapons, and mounts everywhere.
All the items were as extravagant as possible.
"If you want to become handsome and funny, don't be polite, open the game and open the boxes quickly! Every box is a grand prize, diamonds and gold coins are in every hand!" Zhazhahui exaggeratedly made a fortune, with a greasy smirk on his face.
Then, the advertising scene changed, and the style suddenly became high-end.
I saw thousands of rich people gathered, each with a private yacht, surrounded by hundreds of slender ladies having a carnival at sea.
"Players earn millions a month? Don't laugh, now it must be at least tens of millions to be in the mainstream!" Zhazhahui made a sturdy gesture to the camera, "Local tyrant players spend a lot of money to buy game land at will, and then rent it out for millions of rent!"
"Moreover, we have revolutionary launched a brand-new 'equipment recycling' system, allowing your game assets to transform gorgeously, cash out with one click, and arrive in 1 second!"
"What? Equipment can also be sold for money?" Tang Ping was surprised.
"Yes, every piece of equipment, every piece of jewelry in your arms is a real game deposit, waiting for you to earn the money back at any time!" Zhazhahui said with a proud face, "Even the golden treasure arrow on your head can be sold, and one is worth tens of thousands of yuan! The broken sword in your hand is worth several thousand yuan!"
Saying that, he pointed to the magnificent mansions and palaces in the promotional picture and praised them endlessly: "Not to mention the real estate assets in our game, every inch of land and every garden mansion owned by players can be cashed out with one click! Even the cherry tree in your small courtyard can be put on the shelves and auctioned for tens of thousands of yuan!"
"This... this is too much, right?" Tang Ping was stunned and couldn't believe his ears.
However, Zhazhahui continued to talk endlessly: "Moreover, do you think this is the end? I haven't said the most exciting part yet!"
"In the latest version, we have prepared an unprecedented 'infinite wealth' system for local tyrant players! As long as you pay, you can get endless gold coins and resources in the game, completely hang yourself up and become an 'ultimate rich man'!"
"What? Too crazy, right?" Tang Ping wondered if he was dreaming.
Zhazhahui in the advertisement said excitedly: "That's right, it's so willful! We want the banknotes in the pockets of local tyrants to turn into a rolling source of wealth in the game and completely trample all poor players! As long as you have money, you can sweep the entire server and create an 'supreme financial kingdom' that belongs to you!"
"Finally, the highlight is here!" Zhazhahui suddenly lowered his voice and said with a mysterious look: "You can never experience all these new gameplay with your salary! So hurry up and download and join, let our game bring you an unprecedented 'wealth shock' experience!"
……
Tang Ping was shocked: "Damn, you can earn tens of millions a month, really?"
"One knife 999, recycle 666, click it and you can play for a year, and now you can get VIP and 500 yuan cash red envelope for free online"
Tang Ping: "No way, can you really make money?"
The latest novel is first published in Liиg Jiu Jiu Shu Ba!
Zhazhahui in the advertisement said: "No matter how well I say it, it's better to come in and play.
You only need to experience it for three minutes, and you will fall in love with this game like me.
I'll be waiting for you in the imperial city at eight o'clock tonight."
Tang Ping immediately downloaded the game.
Seeing the LOGO at the beginning of the screen, Tang Ping couldn't hold back——
«Moth Factory Games»
……
After the advertisement screen disappeared, a familiar interface jumped to the front - it was the classic login interface of the old-fashioned legendary page game "Krypton Gold Legend".
The familiar style is clear at a glance, the traditional fantasy theme picture, combined with the complicated interface elements, gives people a nostalgic sense of sight.
The entire login page is dazzling, with various game information, news announcements, event promotions and other modules everywhere, and in the center is the game's iconic LOGO "Krypton Gold Online Game" in large characters, dazzling.
"Ha, this is the online game of our era, a classic among classics!" Xiaoyao Sanren sighed, as if traveling back to the years of youthful frivolity.
Then he saw the familiar server list, and those strange server names rolled in front of him one by one: Double Line 1 District Hegemony World, Double Line 2 District Fierce Fire God of War, Double Line 648 District Imperial City Hegemony.
Each name was marked with a string of star numbers, which seemed to be the server's level and popularity index.
"Hey, as expected, my favorite double-line server is the most interesting." Xiaoyao Sanren finally stopped his hand at the 648 area Imperial City Hegemony column and clicked to confirm to enter.
Immediately afterwards, the game's user agreement window popped up, and the dense clauses made people's scalps numb.
However, old players have long been accustomed to this.
Xiaoyao Sanren ticked the "I agree" option without looking back, and then pressed the confirm button.
Finally, the long-awaited character creation interface finally jumped to the front!
Above the interface is a huge career display area, which respectively displays the character settings and skill characteristics of the three traditional careers of warrior, mage, and ranger.
Each career character is the kind of exaggerated magic image, with burning skill effects and strange SF costumes.
In the option area below, there are options such as character gender, name input box, and appearance settings that can be adjusted.
Further down is a row of physical fitness attribute values, next to which is a real-time rendering display of the character shape pane.
"Oh ho, now let me pinch a burly, high-value warrior boss to appear!" Xiaoyao Sanren grinned and turned on the character creation master mode.
First, he pulled the gender slider and selected the "male" column.
Then, in the face options, he chose a masculine, sword-browed and star-eyed tough guy face.
Next is the choice of hair color, he considered it again and again, and finally decided on the cool "fire red" color scheme.
Soon, the initial character shape was presented in the right pane of the character creation interface.
It was clearly a tall and strong warrior image, with an heroic face but with a striking fiery red long hair, which looked both stable and a bit妖艳.
"Whoa, not bad!" Xiaoyao Sanren was very satisfied.
But he immediately turned on the advanced character creation mode and began to tinker with the character's body proportions, facial details, muscle texture, etc.
Finally, after repeated training, he finally created a burly man, who showed the masculine masculinity of men all over his body, and even had a bit of wild unrestrainedness.
"Okay, now let's give this heaven-defying boss a cool name!" Sanren was very proud of the character creation results, and he began to type casually in the name input box.
"What about I call you Crazy.
Cool.
Dragon.
Young.
Master.
How about it, this name is definitely textbook-level, domineering and unparalleled, right?"
Saying that, he adjusted the highest gear of the physical breath attribute value below, pulled all the character's strength value, physique value and other indexes to the full, and repeatedly confirmed, and finally pressed the character creation confirmation button.
At this moment, the character image in the center of the screen suddenly wriggled, and then, that "heaven-defying" appearance actually distorted and deformed at a speed visible to the naked eye!
"Aww? What's going on?" Xiaoyao Sanren was taken aback.
He took a closer look and saw that the "master-level" shape that he had painstakingly created had actually twisted into an ugly monster-like thing after a few weird actions!
That shape was a big "surprise" from beginning to end - the facial features were hideous, the eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and even the nose had collapsed into several shapeless holes, which looked unbearable to look at!
"Good heavens, what on earth went wrong here?" Xiaoyao Sanren exclaimed in horror, yet couldn't help but be amused by the comical and distorted appearance.
