Chapter 170 Being caught by a game routine!
[Teacher Xue drove you away angrily.]
[A few days later, Teacher Xue sent you to YANAN, and you became an excellent clerk until the war was won.]
[More than 20 years later, because you had experience in Japan, you were criticized and fought to death by the Red Guards.]
[End of the play.]
“??????”
More than a hundred question marks instantly floated across Zhang Yu's head.
It's over? That's over?
The game is over? I've passed the level??
Obviously this is not a level-through, because the game process is over before it even started. And judging from the last word "criticism to death", this is obviously not a good ending...
It's the worst bad ending!
"Wait a minute, what's going on?"
Zhang Yu immediately read the file and started over.
This time he watched it more seriously and savored everything the protagonist said before.
[I want to be a traitor when I return to China.]
[Someone sings blushing, I want to sings blushing.]
"No, it means, is this already begun? I'm going to start acting like a traitor now, and I can't even tell the truth in front of the teacher?"
Zhang Yu was caught off guard by this sudden stick, and he felt like he was clearly waiting for the countdown for three seconds, but his opponent said "1, 2, walking" and then rushed forward.
"Okay, it seems that this game is quite interesting. Reality taught me a good lesson... Okay, I know that the undercover self-cultivation is now that I will not make such low-level mistakes again."
This time, Zhang Yu chose to remain silent, but was kicked out of the house by the teacher.
At this time, Teacher Xue's daughter chased her out and asked Fang Bie if she really betrayed the Student Union, but this time there was no one else around.
"No one else..."
Zhang Yu felt that the topic was designed very terrible. From a rational point of view, he knew that the best choice now is still silent, but the narration already suggested that there was no one else around, and Teacher Xue’s daughter Xue Mei is the protagonist’s favorite.
"If I secretly tell her, will it trigger any side plot on the emotional line? After telling her, just let her keep it a secret for me, right?"
Zhang Yu felt that the words "There is no one around" in the narration were hinting at something, so he chose to defend himself.
【A few days later, Teacher Xue takes you...】
Zhang Yu: "...Damn! What about the promised love in this life, why did you tell me about it!!"
In the game, NPC was tricked twice in a row, and Zhang Yu felt that his IQ was insulted.
But then he thought about it again and thought that his choice was to be a bit dysfunctional. Since Xue Mei liked her, she would definitely tell Mr. Xue after knowing that she was not a traitor, and of course she would have the same ending as before.
"I misjudged human nature..."
Zhang Yu suddenly realized this problem. Strictly speaking, he was not betrayed by Xue Mei, because Xue Mei was indeed kind to him, but both of them were kind, but they messed up the matter afterwards.
"So, I am a traitor on the surface, but I am actually a good person, but no one can tell me, and no one can tell me. What a frustrating game!"
These two options made Zhang Yu a little confused. He completely felt how difficult it was to be an undercover agent without any preparation.
However, this made Zhang Yu feel very novel because he had never played a game with similar themes before.
Most of the previous text adventure games were not so difficult, and they would stumbling to players as soon as they started, and some very important plot directions would give enough hints in advance. But this game did not, not only did not prompt, but also had to reverse hints, madly luring players to go in the wrong direction.
However, players also have a creed, that is, always be a traitor and be serious. As long as you firmly implement this, you can avoid many pitfalls.
But this kind of choice is often a frustrating choice.
The next plot is that Fang Bie follows Mr. Xue’s prompt to come to the library secret room and learn about his responsibilities as an undercover agent.
In short, Mr. Xue trained Fang Bie to become an underground party in order to enable him to become a qualified undercover agent. The previous illusion of "master-apprentice breaking" was another test for the other party, and it was also a scene for everyone to see, so that Fang Bie could be better accepted by the Neon people.
Now, Fang Bie has officially become an underground party. In this world, only Teacher Xue and contact Mr. Liu know Fang Bie’s true identity, and everyone else will only think that Fang Bie is a big traitor.
Fang Bie is now code-named "Sea Snake". His responsibility is to gain the trust of Neon people, invade into its core organs, and send out important information continuously.
"It's interesting, this kind of text adventure game that can game over at any time."
Zhang Yu suddenly became interested. The early setbacks did not make him feel too frustrated, because strictly speaking, it was all because he was stupid.
In fact, the early stage of the game already suggested that his current identity is an undercover agent. As long as he keeps this in mind, many of the options behind should not be chosen wrong. As long as he always stands on the side of reason and emotion, he will not step on many pitfalls.
Of course, there are still many pitfalls in the later stage of the game, and those pitfalls are even more complicated and require a very superb game IQ to crack, but Zhang Yu will not be exposed to them in the short term.
...
Six hours later.
Zhang Yu looked at the first ending he had made, and he collapsed.
【HappyEnd-Freshman】
【Thank you for viewing】
"No, this is not the result I want! How can this result be called HappyEnd?! This is obviously a big tragedy, right???"
"I spent more than six hours reading the file countless times, and stepped on so many pitfalls. In the end, I just wanted to eat this shit... Who wrote this script? I will fight you to the death!"
Zhang Yu was too desperate. In his opinion, this was not a happy end at all. On the contrary, this title was simply ironic. The protagonist finally set foot on the land of neon and started a new life as a neon hero. What is this called a new life?
What about your ideals? What about your ambitions and pursuits?!
"No, there must be other storylines, I must be playing something wrong..."
Zhang Yu had long left the painting he wanted to complete and just finished reading this story.
Indeed, he made an ending, but this ending was something he could not accept, and obviously it was not the whole story.
This is how text adventure games are. The whole story is broken into small pieces after small pieces, and all players have to do is piece together different small pieces. No one-sided ending can represent the whole story.
There are many different development paths in the world in the game. You can only understand the game itself after playing it once.
Of course, Zhang Yu had already paid for it, and had already jumped out of the payment box after the prologue, and it was only 10 yuan, so Zhang Yu did not hesitate at all.
Chapter completed!
