Chapter 18 A good game must die for details

In this world, there is a common law or truth. That is, all online game operators do not have the word conscience in their dictionary.

Although Xiong Yuanba didn't know which company he was playing now operated by "The Legend of the Apocalypse in the Late Ming Dynasty", he obviously also had the same heart.

It is said well in the pop-up advertisement: Open the server and get BMW, magic weapons, and armor. The things are given, but the operator doesn't care whether the players can use them.

Take this BMW for example. There are only a few people who can really ride the game for thousands of players around.

In fact, if you are just unable to control a horse for the time being, Xiong Yuanba can accept it. It would be fine if you work hard to improve your riding level in the future. But the question now is where do you store this horse?

The game does not provide any equipment such as storage bags or space rings. This horse is a living creature. With the time in front of him, the time is still short, and no things like emotional development are cultivated.

You should know that these are all war horses, who doesn’t have a little temper? The humans in front of you don’t have any skills. You still want to ride, it would be strange if you don’t give you some expression!

When players find that their riding level is not enough and they are temporarily unable to ride a horse, in fact, players don’t think anything yet. Since the level is not enough, then level up. The scene I imagined in my heart is:

When the person is walking in front, the horse will follow silently. When the person walks in front, the horse will follow faster. When the person walks in slower, the horse will follow slowly. When he kills monsters and leveles, the horse will not make noise or make noise. He silently eats grass on the side of the road waiting for the master to level up. He has been waiting for his master to level up after he has accumulated enough experience levels, and then he flies on the horse and gallops away.

But the actual scene is: every player is full of energy, pulling the reins with red cheeks, and playing tug-of-war with the horse on the flat ground.

If you are lucky, the horse can follow you a few steps. If you are not lucky, especially if you are a bad-tempered horse. If you happen to encounter a mare or fodder next to you, it is not the person leading the horse, but the horse pulling the person on the ground.

The players tried many times, but they were really helpless by these broken horses. Before the war could be fought, their physical strength troughs were at the bottom.

In desperation, the player cursed the operator for shamelessness and released the horse. Whatever he wanted, I won’t ride this broken horse anymore.

Xiong Yuanba has played so many games, but at the beginning of the server, when he did not receive any new equipment, he threw the "pets" donated by the system all over the city. This "Record of the Apocalypse of the Late Ming Dynasty" is an unprecedented one.

After the players gave up their competition with the war horses, monsters or Qing army sieges arrived as promised.

In an instant, the most conspicuous position on the screen began a countdown announcement for the entire system to flood the screen:

The enemy still has one stick of incense to enter the battlefield, please prepare for battle...

The enemy has half a stick of incense to enter the battlefield, please prepare for battle...

The enemy has a cup of tea to enter the battlefield, please prepare for battle...

......

"It's fine to copy the classic lines of a famous game company. Can you just change them? Can anyone tell me how long it takes for a cup of tea to be this half incense stick?"

Xiong Yuanba tried his best to complain and hurriedly ran above the city, preparing to seize a favorable terrain to defend the city.

At this time, there were many players standing on the top of the city, such as rolling wooden stones, red cannons, pole-to-pole and other cities guarding equipment, all of which were full of people.

There was another player guarding a large iron pot, and the fire was set on the bottom. I didn’t know what was cooking inside the pot. The player even took a wooden stick and kept stirring it in the iron pot.

Unfortunately, there is no smell in this game, otherwise Xiong Yuanba would have known for a long time that the most terrifying chemical attack weapon in this pot is the legendary golden juice!

Xiong Yuanba glanced at it and found that there was still a crossbow bed without anyone in front of it, so he hurried over and seized the position.

This crossbow bed is not small, and it can be 1.5 meters or 6 meters when expanded. A line of small characters is engraved on the side of the crossbow bed, which is written with the words "The Baoyuan Bureau in the 27th year of Jiajing, the Ming Dynasty, to defeat the enemy crossbow."

Xiong Yuanba looked at the small words on the crossbow bed and sighed that the details of the game production company were really attentive. Not to mention the garbage operation, it would be no exaggeration to just describe the details of the portrayal. (Note 1)

There are three troughs on the crossbow bed. Obviously, three arrows can be shot out once by pulling the string. At this time, the crossbow string was loosened, and more than a dozen thick crossbow arrows were standing aside.

Xiong Yuanba probably because the crossbow bed was not in a string, so no one went to grab this position, so he picked up a crossbow arrow and studied how to instill the string.

Although this crossbow bed seems to be quite small, there is no winch next to it, so it is probably still skewed by manpower.

Xiong Yuanba stepped on the crossbow pole with his feet and held the crossbow string with both hands. He spent a lot of energy to pull the crossbow bed away. Looking at the announcements that the enemy was approaching over and over again on the screen, Xiong Yuanba became more and more anxious.

Fortunately, there was a idle player next to him. Seeing Xiong Yuanba working hard to hang the strings, he came over and helped pull the strings together.

The two stood on the left and right side of the crossbow bed, stepping on the crossbow pole on one side. After finally hanging the crossbow string, they pushed three crossbow arrows one by one and adjusted the shooting angle. After spending a lot of effort to get all this done, the announcement of the enemy attack on the screen stopped.

The player who helped to skew the strings together said, "Brother, you have to hug it right before shooting, it's best to get into the soul with one shot. It's too much trouble to pull the strings. If you shoot it empty, you won't have time to install a second shot."

Xiong Yuanba was naturally looking forward to the power of the crossbow bed. In fact, just looking at the cumbersomeness of the strings of the crossbow bed, you know that the power should be quite good. I guess if I shoot correctly, it would not be difficult to string candied haws for two or three people. I don’t know how much experience value will be increased, and how many levels will be increased.

In this way, Xiong Yuanba was guarding the crossbow bed, waiting for the coming enemy troops.

When he first started to stylist the crossbow bed, he kept praying that the enemy would take a slower time and leave more time to stylist himself. But now he was busy and ready. After waiting for a long time, he still couldn't see the enemy's shadow. He couldn't help but feel anxious.

Looking down at the city, there are endless weeds and white snow below, and further into the distance are faint green mountains. Because there are no tall buildings these days, this city tower is the highest place near the corner. Looking past this, you can say that the scenery within a dozen miles is full of scenery.

The sun shines on the snow and refracts onto the bushes beside the official road, revealing a mottled halo. Several large areas of weeds sway gently in the breeze, with different postures. The light and shadow of this game can be said to have been done without any fault, but what about the Qing army's siege? Why has the system announcement been stopped for a long time, but no enemy can be seen?

Not only Xiong Yuanba, but other players also became anxious. After waiting for a while, there were no traces of enemies, and the number of players on the city wall gradually decreased.

Those players who grabbed the city-guarding equipment like Xiong Yuanba did not dare to leave easily. They were afraid that once they walked away, the enemy would come to attack the city again and lost the good position of the city-guarding equipment. So they had to wait patiently and continue to wait.

After waiting for a while, even the players who had grabbed the city guarding equipment became impatient and threw down the equipment in their hands and went down to the city.

Seeing that it was not a solution for Xiong Yuanba who had been waiting on the top of the city, he threw away the crossbow and followed the crowd down to see the situation.

But after getting off the city wall, Xiong Yuanba realized that the siege had already begun. However, he was located at the south wall of Tongguan, while the Qing army attacked it was around the east gate of Tongguan.

When Xiong Yuanba learned of the news, the East City Gate had been broken by the Qing army and was now rushing towards the player's base camp Supervisor's Office.

After hearing this news, Xiong Yuanba suddenly regretted it and missed a lot of experience points and the opportunity to pick up equipment. He secretly complained that the siege battle design in this game was really unreasonable.

According to previous game experience, monsters attack from all directions in siege, and the city walls are full of battlefields. There is no worry about no battle to fight.

But now the city gates are broken, and I don’t know where to start the battle. The scale of the battle is too small. It’s said that the enemy troops and the magnificent siege battle are everywhere, why did this end before it even started?

In fact, Xiong Yuanba himself was thinking badly. In fact, before the siege army planned to seize the city wall, they would allocate troops in advance based on the main attack and feint focus of the different focus of the attack.

Even the ant attack that drove away the hungry people was only a small section of the city wall to attack and defend. Concentrating artillery fire and attack one place was the most effective. How could it be possible to fight scattered soldiers like sheep and siege them on all sides?

For the defending party, no matter where they encounter enemies, they will transmit information through golden drums, flags, wolf smoke, etc.

If the one who guards the city today was replaced by Ma Shiyao's Dashun Army, the first time the Qing army attacked the city, would hang white lanterns at the highest point of the city tower to inform the city of the real-time battle situation at the city gate.

When the defenders in the city saw a white lantern hanging on the top of the city, it means that the enemy was approaching. Hanging two white lanterns means that the situation at the city gate is in danger. If three white lanterns are hung, then burn the granary directly and run away quickly. The city gate will definitely not be able to defend.

So it is not like the players who stand foolishly on the city wall. When the city wall is over, they still don’t know where the enemy attacks, and they are expending military power in vain.

Fortunately, although I missed the group guarding the city, there were still street fighting in the city to fight. Xiong Yuanba cheered up, picked up his mountain-breaking axe and ran towards the Supervisor's Office in the center of Tongguan City.

Before I could run far, I was approaching a team of Qing troops around the corner. This was the first time Xiong Yuanba saw the Qing army. If the light and shadow scenes in this game were impeccable, the character model I saw now made Xiong Yuanba even more sigh at the exquisite production of the game.

Not only did each Qing army look different, but the armor and equipment on them were also very different. The leading Qing army was wearing a leather helmet and a pair of iron armor.

Maybe it was because of the battle formation that the iron armor was worn out. A piece of leather was also made up on the left chest of the iron armor. The patch of leather was fine and textured, and there seemed to be some signs of wear on the edges. The modeling was so thin that it was amazing.

The reason why Xiong Yuanba recognized the other party as the Qing army at a glance was because although some of the Qing soldiers who were leading the front were wearing leather helmets to protect their faces, there were also many Qing army behind the team with bare heads and braids as thin as rat tails behind them.

In fact, Xiong Yuanba did not recognize the banner of the Qing army, so he really made a mistake this time. Although the enemy was coming from the opposite side, he was not the genuine Jurchens, but the Eight Banners Han Army troops under Geng Zhongming.

It is precisely because these are all puppet troops that have just surrendered and are not very popular with Duoduo. Therefore, the equipment is diverse. Some even have helmets, and they fight with their heads naked, looking strange, which makes Xiong Yuanba sigh at the meticulous modeling.

If it is a real Eight Banners direct lineage, then every soldier will be uniformly dressed, and the lightning rod-like helmet is connected with ear protection curtains and neck protection. From a distance, everyone will be similar, but it will not shock Xiong Yuanba. This is a mistake or a wrong move.

As soon as Xiong Yuanba waved his mountain axe, he was about to step forward to cut the monsters. The Qing army opposite also discovered Xiong Yuanba and other players, and stopped together.

However, these Qing soldiers had no intention of going forward to fight with the players in the hands of the game. After standing still, they picked up the bow and arrow and shot them.

Before Xiong Yuanba could finish his posture, he was shot in his chest. When he looked down, he saw a big hole in the position of his bright light armor heart protection mirror. There was an arrow shaft more than two feet long exposed outside, and the arrow feathers behind him were still trembling.

The blood bars on Xiong Yuanba's body were instantly cleared and his body slowly fell down. The screen suddenly became a blood-red color, and the character's perspective also turned into a strange perspective close to the ground.

There were constantly various boots walking past their faces, raising pieces of stains stained with blood and mud, splashing on their screens...

"Young people don't talk about martial ethics! Are you a promised battle for three hundred rounds?"

"Besides, what kind of hell is this attack power! It's the soul-resurrecting series!" Xiong Yuan was so domineering that he almost dropped the equipment in his hand.

"And the free armor given by this system...I am really...#¥%…#"

In fact, Xiong Yuanba knew in his heart that the equipment given to novices by this system for free must not be a good thing. Although the pop-up advertisement said that as long as you log in, you will get a treasure armor and a magic weapon. But it is probably just a transitional equipment, and you can't use a few levels and you will throw it into the store.

But what he never expected was that this so-called treasure armor actually turned out to the sky!

You should know that he deliberately chose the style of Mingguang Armor at the beginning. Not to mention other places, the position of the bright heart protection mirror on his chest is definitely a huge defense. No matter how you look at it, he can hold swords and guns.

But now he was easily shot by an ordinary feather arrow, which was worse than the legendary paper armor!

Xiong Yuanba stood up from his living room and spoke to the game agents in various ways. But after just cursing, he was suddenly stunned. When he recalled the game sound effects of the moment he was caught in the game just now, he couldn't help but think.

As the saying goes, outsiders watch the excitement, while insiders watch the tricks. As a veteran player, Xiong Yuanba also has an outstanding appreciation of the quality of the game.

A good game is not only a picture, but also an extremely important part of its sound effects. A friend of his non-famous director, Kuai Gun Jack. Lao Zhang once said: "A good video must be mixed at least six audio tracks at the same time. Only such sound effects can truly reflect the situation of the character."

Although the works of the fake foreign devil director cannot be read at all, Xiong Yuanba agrees deeply with this sentence. In fact, the so-called art is consistent with the highest level. The same is true for movies and games.

Don’t think that the sound effects in the game are almost the same. Just find a sound effect on the webmaster’s website, and close your eyes and match the movements. In fact, there is a lot of knowledge here.

Take the arrow that the Qing army just shot as an example. First, the sound of the bowstring, then the sound of the arrow breaking through the air, the sound of gold and iron hitting the heart protection mirror, the sound of flesh entering the flesh, and the muffled groan of Xiong Yuanba himself, and the sound of vibrating the air when the arrow tail feathers tremble.

These sounds sound complicated, but in fact they sounded almost instantly. And Xiong Yuanba heard them sincerely. Although these sound effects were completed in one go, they were clearly layered. The extremely subtle time difference in the middle was grasped without any deviation.

This is easy to say, but extremely difficult to do. Take the speed of arrows as an example. The speed of Kaiyuan bow and arrow used by the Han army is about one quarter to one fifth of the speed of sound.

If the other party is a little distance away, he will naturally hear the sound of the bowstring first, and then the sound of the arrow shooting into his body. But if it is close, then the sound will sound almost at the same time.

This also involves a question of determining the time of sound effects. If it is just a stand-alone game, it's okay. Just cut this audio and broadcast it at the appropriate time.

But if there are more than one archer on the other side of the online game like now, with hundreds or even thousands of players on the same screen, and there is more than one archer on the other side, it is too difficult to do according to the different positions of each player, so that the sounds emitted from each player's speakers have subtle differences in time.

Even with the infinite computing power of today's quantum computers, an extremely accurate mathematical model is needed to support it.

Xiong Yuanba is a knowledgeable person, so he naturally knows what the game company needs to pay to achieve such realistic sound effects in the game. Although the game agency is a bit trash, the game production is really attentive!

Seeing his screen gradually turning from blood red to black and white, Xiong Yuanba lost the unhappiness he had when he first hit the arrow, and sighed in his heart:

"A good game must be careful with details. The value of this arrow is the one that gets you! The real value!

When we have money back, we will go to the Internet to get a set of ***.l speakers, and then find a way to get a few more arrows, carefully savor and study the wonderful sound of the arrow!”
