Hehehe, my secretly favorite CP actually gave us some sweet moments today.
- Good heavens, you monsters! Others get candy as soon as they see copper mines, but you guys get candy just by looking at them?
-Eel is also queuing! Neither Xuanyuan Tianlu nor Duanxiang are here today, so maybe we can queue together tonight~
Wow, wouldn't that be a livestreaming convention? Hahaha
Wen Zheng didn't answer, but smiled slightly and jumped off the extremely narrow section of the billboard.
Deng Puyue finished reading and awkwardly slipped out of the crowd.
"Brother Zheng, shall we line up?"
"Line up." Wen Zheng touched the transparent panel, formed a team with Deng Puyue, and selected the random mode.
The two quickly queued for the instance, transformed into two streaks of blue light, and teleported inside.
The dungeons in "Living Space" are divided into three main categories.
The first type is called Cellular Games, which consists of traditional puzzle games. Wen Zheng's memory records were obtained through Cellular Games.
The most basic memory disk consists of letters and numbers. After entering the level, an nxn grid disk appears in front of you, with characters appearing randomly in each square.
Three seconds later, the grid disappeared, and a blank grid appeared.
Players need to fill the characters into the grid in the order they just saw within the countdown.
This is the level that best tests short-term memory. Wen Zhengchuang once set a record of 64 squares in an 8x8 grid, completing the level in 17.63 seconds.
In addition, there are traditional Huarong Road puzzles, Rubik's Cube puzzles, circuit puzzles, Sokoban puzzles, and various other projects. Each of these has a record holder.
However, most players rarely play in cell mode. After all, they've entered a holographic game, so why make things difficult for themselves?
Next up is the basic game.
Like Frost Cube, there are some simple themes that combine and connect the simplest puzzles, along with some escape and monster-fighting elements, to form the basic game.
The basic game only allows single-player mode because the puzzles are randomized and their number is infinite.
Finally, there are multiplayer dungeons with a complete storyline, involving exploration, puzzle-solving, escape, and testing teamwork.
Every year, the Survival Zone updates with a large number of multiplayer dungeons, and a "black box test" is held before the official launch. Because the testing period is the first appearance of these new dungeons, it can really test the players' abilities, so every high-level player in the Survival Zone is a "black box tester".
This year's livestreaming competition for cat lovers was co-organized with the parallel universe black box test.
Of course, even in multiplayer dungeons, not every one has a grand background.
After undergoing closed beta testing, testers vote to rate the entries. Only those with excellent production quality, interesting storylines, and grand narratives are allowed to enter the ranks of star-rated dungeons.
The "Pharaoh's Wrath" dungeon they broke records for before was a star-level dungeon from two years ago.
However, the star-level dungeon takes a long time to complete, so Wen Zheng and his team removed this option. A flash of blue light appeared, and Wen Zheng opened his eyes. The system displayed the name as "[Rooftop Horror]".
Wen Zheng: "…………"
This level looks perfect for me. He thought to himself.
Half an hour later, Wen Zheng, enraged, forcibly quit the game, leaving behind a disastrous "Fail" and losing fifty-eight points.
"Brother Zheng! Don't be angry! Don't be angry!!" Deng Puyue then forcefully logged out and grabbed Wen Zheng's arm: "Don't tear down the sofa, don't tear down the wall! It's that girl's fault, the wall did nothing wrong!"
Wen Zheng: "...Let go."
"We'll have to pay compensation if we demolish it! And game coins aren't cheap either!"
"...Don't demolish it!"
The living space has a lounge where players are forced to log out, much like the Gryffindor dormitory lounge in the classic Harry Potter movie.
I don't know what the production company was thinking, but they made the space destructible. If you're strong enough, you can swing a sofa and smash a wall to create a ruin.
Of course, you'll have to pay compensation afterwards, and it won't be cheap.
Deng Puyue carefully released her hand, and saw Wen Zheng raise his hand with a dark face to summon a light screen, select the teammate [Elina] from before, and then click report.
Reason for complaint: Sexual harassment.
The comments section was filled with laughter, like a vibrating Coke bottle.
-Oh my god, is this sexual harassment? Hahahahahahahaha
-Z: Do you think you can just cling to my leg like that?!
- I can't take it anymore, hahaha! I recorded that iconic scene just now, I can laugh for another ten years, hahaha!
I admire that foreign woman; she's a real hero! She did what I wanted to do but didn't dare to!
-I also want to rub my breasts against Z-Big.
No! Mommy won't allow it! How could you defile our Z-Baby's pure body!
I have reason to suspect that... Z University is still...
Fortunately, Wen Zheng didn't read the comments, otherwise the sofa in the lounge might really have been lost.
Wen Zheng calmed his anger for a while before leaving the lounge and starting a second game with Deng Puyue.
I don't know if it's because of bad feng shui today, but all sorts of strange things are happening.
The following rounds featured a collection of bizarre teammates. One player immediately emphasized that everyone had to follow his orders; another fainted and logged out upon seeing the zombie boss; and then there was a guy from Russia who, completely drunk, entered the game stripped down to his underwear, stood on a tall building, and shouted, "I'm not afraid of winter!"
Then he resolutely jumped down and fell into the thick snow.
In reality, he should still be alive, but this is a game, and he's game over.
The key point is that before jumping, he stuffed the important key into his underwear.
Wen Zheng: "..."
Hearing the argument made him weary.
Some levels do not require a full party to complete, but dude, what the hell do you mean by taking the key with you?!
Back in the lounge, Deng Puyue said cautiously, "Brother Zheng, how about... you smash one? It's just a sofa, consider it my treat!"
Wen Zheng remained silent.
After a minute of digestion, he stood up: "Let's go."
Deng Puyue: "Huh?"
"queue."
"...Oh oh oh!"
Deng Puyue whispered to her audience, "Look... you guys from Z University have really strong resilience... you can still maintain your composure even like this... my son has grown up..."
Deng Puyue's live stream chat was filled with witty and flamboyant comments.
So this is what Xiaoyu is like.
-You call me "brother" to my face and "son" behind my back, Xiaoyu, why are you wearing Pinru's clothes?
-Even though we're facing the same frustrating situation, our Xiaoyu is so much more mature!
Upon seeing this, Deng Puyue humbly replied, "No, no, maturity isn't about appearance, it's a state of mind. Look at our little Z, hasn't he been much better after I've taught him? People all change with time..."
He stammered, watching helplessly as the "Language Restriction - Chinese" option was selected in his team panel.
Deng Puyue: "…………"
Bullet comments:
- Haha ...
-Z Bao: I'm not mature enough, I don't want to play with foreigners anymore!
-The bond between compatriots is as deep as the sea.
I sensed Z's deep anger and Xiaoyu's fatherly concern.
Wen Zheng explained to the live stream audience, "I'm just unlucky today. I don't usually select this option."
Everyone expressed their understanding, given the pain they had endured. And Wen Zheng had indeed previously been open to spending time with foreign friends.
Wen Zheng opened his eyes after selecting random queue once again.
The room was dilapidated, filled with strange equipment, and he stood alone in the center of the room.
Information is projected onto the system screen.
Welcome to the instance: Rescue Susan!
[Matched teammates: [Yu Gege], [Shan Yu Yu Lai], [Xuanyuan Tianlu]]
[Instance time limit: 1.5 hours.]
The map function has been forcibly disabled.
[Equipped skills: [Measuring Ruler], [Clara's Magic]]
The barrage of comments exploded into a firework—
-Oh my god! Oh ...
-Holy crap, is our Z-Da finally going to meet Eel-Da?
-Love at first sight, hehehehehehe
-Didn't they say Xuanyuan Tianlu wasn't here today?!
-Reporting to those ahead, Little Lulu just got home! I heard that Big Eel also had a terrible night of scrambling to paddle today...
Let them comfort each other, lick each other's lips [doge]
- ...I've already reported it~
Wen Zheng was somewhat surprised.
With a huge number of players in the survival space, it's already difficult to be matched with a streamer in random matchmaking, let alone a streamer you know.
Even he and Deng Puyue had never met when they were arranging their own workouts; they met in real life at a cat-loving livestreaming event.
This chance encounter came at a very opportune moment. Wen Zheng's lips curled up slightly, but he quickly let it fall back down.
Let's try to meet up first.
The room was very small, only about ten square meters.
