Volume 16: The Wheel of Reincarnation Chapter 63: Cross-border
What the hell is this setting? NPCs and players can add friends and communicate with each other? This...
...This seems acceptable?
Li Lin thought about it and found that this was not as shocking as he had imagined. This was because similar game structures had already appeared in old games, using email and friends to increase the sense of immersion in the game. It was just that this time the direct synchronous calculation and direct connection to the player line was a bit surprising.
But to be honest, it seems that it is just the same on the surface. NPCs in other games can send tasks directly through the address book, but this is not possible here. It doesn't make sense. Li Lin thought carefully about the reason for his fear. It might be because the sense of immersion in the whole game is too strong, causing the player communication to be like a flood control line, distinguishing the game world from the real world. But to be honest, even if they can't be distinguished, it's still like that.
After all, Li Lin himself was not particularly keen on digging into things, or he was already past the age to do so. After thinking about it for a while, he simply pressed the "agree" button.
After a while, a call request came from Po Xun. After pressing the answer button, a picture frame suddenly popped up in front of Li Lin.
"I thought it would take longer before I could see you..."
Looking at the images emerging in the video, Li Lin's expression became somewhat playful.
Although it was a transmission screen, it was obvious that this was not a live broadcast, but rather a separate screen, like the personal screen that appeared in CG. There was only one person pointing and gesticulating in a black curtain, with no background around.
Generally speaking, this is a common scene in games or other games where you are not very mature . But in Les Miserables, this means it is abnormal. There is no technology that can directly pick a person out and put him in a black background frame. It is not that there is no technology, but it is unnecessary. Unless this scene is based on abnormal communication methods. Li Lin thought about it for a while, and then realized that the characters transmitted in the data seemed to be abnormally many.
"Found it? But it's not high-tech, don't worry."
The portrait of Poxun showed a slightly smug look in the picture.
"It's just sending you different dynamic codes sixty times per second and using your demigod ability to decode instinctively. Currently, there is no way to support uninterrupted video mode, and it can only operate through compilation and decoding. But fortunately, you are already a demigod. If it is a second awakening, I may have to spend more time switching modes. All in all, this experiment is a complete success. The player's communication facilities can indeed communicate through the entire universe... But it's really interesting, why can they cross the entire universe but can't cross a sealed small dungeon? Is there any explanation for this?"
"Maybe it's because they can't communicate in combat or in a closed room. Player communication is used to determine combat and non-combat status. But I personally think this function is completely to prevent unnecessary harassment or blind commands. Maybe one day it can be opened by application... No, that's not the point."
As Li Lin was talking, he realized that he seemed to have been led into a ditch, and waved his hand to stop the extension of this topic.
"I'm just wondering why you suddenly compiled your player identity and added friends? This shouldn't be a particularly simple thing, right?"
“Because of demand.”
Bo Xun shrugged, with no intention of hiding anything.
"The world needs faster information transmission, and so do I. But standing still will only make things slower and slower. However, the advancement of technology has made distance disappear without a trace. That's the reason. Players' communication records are very valuable. Their time-difference-free communication may be the most precious creation in the world."
"With text transmission, it is an extension of information. Even a simple QR code can be transformed into images and sounds. What's more, you are already a demigod, and you can use more complex characters and passwords to parse the corresponding data and audio. Now, although I appear to be talking and broadcasting live images, what is actually displayed in the port is just a series of strings. You can only do this by continuously decoding."
"But the player's port is really magical. There is no lag phenomenon... If you are really a multi- dimensional phenomenon, then perhaps you can use your time to create the world's first standard time. In this way, there will be standard weights and measures for future experiments. No, maybe it's not just that. If two players are at two ends of the universe with different time flows, will there be a delay when they talk? Or is there some unspeakable force that forcibly merges the two players into one timeline? These are all experiments that need to be done. Having a standard product is really useful..."
"...You haven't told me why you suddenly added me as your friend? "
Looking at Bo Xun who was talking to himself and doing something on his own, Li Lin suddenly felt that this image seemed a bit like those crazy researchers in the university.
Should it be said that if you keep company with the good, you will be good. If I remember correctly, Po Xun was a simple and honest information aggregate before, but now he looks almost the same as those crazy scientists that are often produced in universities. His weird behavior made him think of his experience in university.
"I added you as a friend? Oh, yes, I added you as a friend because I have news to tell you."
"What a coincidence, I have news for you too."
"Oh? Then the Eastern world takes priority. It's not an urgent request on our side."
"A world the size of a star region is suffering from a catastrophic disaster. The local practitioners living here hope that I can provide an effective method of salvation, but I have no idea how to do it."
"You don't know how to do it? Then how can I know? I just have the information of the old world."
"I think so...what's your news?"
After receiving this reply that was not really a reply, Li Lin rubbed his head with a headache. However, Bo Xun coughed and said seriously with a straight face:
"The Free Alliance has raised the flag of rebellion against us. The advance troops and subsequent resource supply have been forced to suspend 30%, and the rest have also been disrupted to varying degrees. We need the highest level of instructions. The journey to the Eastern World is over, and you should come back to command your army."
"……ha?"
Looking at the serious Boxun, Li Lin made a somewhat dazed sound.
