Reborn to create a virtual world

By the end of August, the new engine finally had a rough prototype.Although the details are not perfect, at least the general appearance has come out.

There are not many character models and plot content at present, it is just a crude internal trial version.As investors, Lin Shu and Ju Mingfeng naturally have the right to be a group of trial players.

At this time, there are only two character models in the game, that is, a man and a woman who tested the voice control system last time.However, it is a little different from the general traditional setting. It is set that female characters take the fighting route, while male characters take the strategic route.

Even the 3D character settings of the two have not yet undergone further detailed design, and still stay on the original basic model.The heroine is only wearing a green skirt, but there are no further designs or decorations on it, which looks simple and crude.Confucian scholars only wear the simplest robes.

But these are secondary.

This time the battle was obviously more shocking than the previous one.When manipulating the heroine, the movements of the heroine are also more clean and neat.At the same time, compared with online games with similar combat modes, the combat mode of the new engine is obviously much simpler and more realistic.

Lin Shu also specially invited some actors who know martial arts to give a special demonstration, and then asked the programmer to analyze the movements and restore the traces of physical movements.The disadvantage of the combat actions compiled in this way is that it is not as cumbersome and cool as in the game, but the advantage is that every action can be seen clearly, and the fighting is more realistic...it makes people feel more fulfilled.

As a fairy-tale game, "Legend of Destiny" does not focus on making tricks on various light effects. Even if it is a five-element spell, it does not add extra light effects, but only shows it with the image of water and flames.

Although this lacks the dazzling colorful light, it feels more like a fairy.

Then there is the application of intelligent AI and speech recognition skills.

The biggest role of intelligent AI and voice recognition technology in the new game is that NPCs can start talking to players.

That's right, a conversation.

They are no longer a simple character design, a fixed character model, or a set character profile.

They become NPCs who can have some basic dialogue and have their own personality and tone.Players can exchange the names of NPCs to select dialogue objects, and then have a dialogue with them. The NPCs and Tian Qingniang use the same data database, but the characters' personalities will be subtly different according to the preset character rules, so there will be different tones and answers.

Due to the limited size of the game, Lin Shu restricted the content of the NPC's response sentences, and did not design the artificial intelligence to be too flexible and comprehensive, but only let them respond to limited topics.Generally speaking, the level of artificial intelligence is quite low, just enough to give players a little taste.

But even this is novel enough for most people.At least for Du Sitong, Cindy Baimiao and others, this new game is amazing. NPCs can talk to players directly like living people.Jing He actually didn't understand their rarity, but he couldn't help feeling a little pride and complacency in his heart.

In the trial version, players can directly communicate with NPCs through voice and text, instead of just rigid dialogue options.The specific dialogue method is similar to that of Tian Qingniang, but the content is more restrictive. If the content of the dialogue involves outside the common sense of NPC characters, the NPC will refuse to continue the dialogue.

After a period of time, the computers with the trial modules became the focus of the entire company's employees, and every lunch break was full of people, like an exhibition of rare animals.

But having said that, game recognition is also limited. For example, in a noisy environment, speech recognition will be disturbed and there will be certain deviations.And if two people speak at the same volume at the same time, the recognized content will be very strange and cannot be recognized by the intelligent program.

These problems are difficult to solve with the current technological development progress, and can only be reminded in advance during the game to let players pay attention.

However, this small flaw obviously can't stop everyone's enthusiasm for trying new games, so when Lin Shu passes by the technical department occasionally, he will see a group of people holding their breath and staring at the demo computer quietly. Only the trial player was left talking to the computer.

Then it was September again.

Calculated by birth time, Lin Shu is actually half a year younger than Ju Mingfeng.He was born in the first half of the year, and Ju Mingfeng appeared at the end of the second half of the year. The time difference between the two was five months.

And every year when school starts, they are all the same age.

Back in the second year of their teenage years, both of them were also eleven years old and started sixth grade.This is the last year of elementary school, Lin Shu and Ju Mingfeng have no specific plans about which school to go to middle school, Lin Shu decided to let nature take its course.

In his last life, he went to junior high school in Huxi, and after high school he transferred to Binhai.Because Lin Jinhua has lofty ideals and wants to create a world in Binhai City.

But Liang Yuehua vaguely expressed the idea that Lin Shu would go to Yanjing University, or even go to Yanjing for middle school.She is from Yanjing. Although she has lived in Huxi City for many years, she still has a very deep affection for Yanjing.

Moreover, Yanjing's college entrance examination score is much different from that of Huxi.Huxi City is one of the provinces with the highest national college entrance examination scores and competitiveness, while Yanjing, as the capital, is an area with preferential treatment for educational resources.As a mother, Liang Yuehua certainly hopes that her son will have a competitive advantage in the college entrance examination.

However, these were all too distant considerations, and Liang Yuehua only expressed his intention slightly, but didn't say much.

After school started in September, Lin Shu suddenly felt a little uncomfortable facing the classmates he hadn't seen for a long time.The child's vitality not only made him envious and smiled, but also made him a little tired to deal with it.

Children aged eleven or twelve, in particular, belong to the formation of the Three Views. They begin to learn to think about the boundaries of life (commonly known as the early stage of the second disease). Difficult to deal with.

Of course, there is one more thing - some precocious children of this age even know what spring heart sprouts, so at noon this day Lin Shu and Ju Mingfeng went to the cafeteria for dinner, and just after they walked out of the classroom and passed the corridor, an accident happened .

A girl hurried over from the opposite side, stared at Ju Mingfeng all the time, then almost slammed something into his arms with a bump, and then jumped over the two and quickly started to flee.

Ju Mingfeng instinctively caught the light object, and after glancing at the pink envelope, he quickly chased after it without hesitation.

The girl was taken aback, but immediately started running away.

When Ju Mingfeng saw her running away, he ran after her.

Lin Shu stared dumbfounded at the two men playing a chasing battle in the corridor, but in desperation, he had no choice but to step up his legs and follow the figures of the two to catch up.

The three people's wild running during the day immediately attracted the attention of many students. Lin Shudun felt that he might be fined to stand in the office to listen to the lecture because he ran in the corridor in the afternoon, but he still had to chase after him.

In fact, the girl's physical strength can't be compared with Ju Mingfeng's at all.The latter is the demon king of the world that all the school teachers and parents and elders have stamped and recognized. Since he is a demon king, he must have the ability to belong to a demon king... His energy and physical strength are so abundant that it is outrageous.

When Lin Shu arrived, the girl was completely cornered by Ju Mingfeng.After all, the two of them didn't run very far, but they just ran from the teaching building in Building A to the laboratory building next to them.

In the end, Ju Mingfeng blocked the girl, delivered a letter to her face, and said, "Take it back!"

The girl accepted the letter in a daze, and was stunned for a while, thinking that the little devil was going to beat her up because of anger, but unexpectedly, Ju Mingfeng just handed the letter back.

Seeing that Ju Mingfeng was about to leave, she suddenly summoned up the courage from nowhere, and said loudly, "Ju Mingfeng! I like you!"

Lin Shu had an embarrassing look on his face, feeling that he appeared at the wrong time.

The girl reached out and handed out the letter again, and said, "Please read my letter, okay? I wrote it for a long time, please read it."

Ju Mingfeng sighed, turned around, and said, "I don't like you, so there's no need to read it. I don't like your people, and reading the letter won't change anything."

The girl was shocked immediately, her eyes were about to burst into tears, she looked at Ju Mingfeng and said, "You...what don't you like about me?"

Ju Mingfeng glanced at her, thought for a while, and finally felt that the other party was just a little girl, and then glanced at Lin Shu from the corner of his eyes, knowing that he must not like being made to cry by a little girl whose psychological age can only be their daughter, after thinking about it , I compared Lin Shu with a bit of carelessness and said: "I don't like girls who are not outstanding. I like girls with excellent grades. If your grades can be as good as his, I will consider it."

The girl froze for a moment.

There is a reason for Ju Mingfeng to say that.Although Xiao Liu is considered an older child, but if she really wants to tell the other party some big truths, the girl may not be able to understand it.In case a girl gets into a corner, instead of asking her to do something stupid, it is better to divert the other party's energy and attention.

Even if the girl really got into a dead end, it would definitely not be a big mistake to let her spend that determination on her studies. If she works hard in this area, it will be the girl herself who will benefit in the end.

After the two went to the cafeteria, Lin Shu kept looking up and down Ju Mingfeng with a rather strange expression.

Ju Mingfeng was baffled by him, and finally couldn't help asking: "What's wrong."

In the end, Lin Shu sighed with great comfort: "You have really grown up."

Ju Mingfeng: "..."

Grow up a ghost! ?

What's with this reassuring tone that seems to be my own parents! ?Lin Shu is his wife and not his mother. What does this reassuring tone that his troublemaker finally understands mean?

There is actually a reason for Lin Shu to say this - Ju Mingfeng did a lot of stupid things when he was in college.

Ju Mingfeng has definitely done things like being handed a love letter by a girl, and throwing the love letter into the trash can in the blink of an eye in front of everyone.Of course, this kind of behavior can only be regarded as ruthless and unreasonable troublemaking at best. There are actually two reasons why Ju Mingfeng looks stupid.

[-]. That "love letter" was actually an activity notification letter from the student union, and the pink cherry blossom envelope was just the bad taste of the president.Second, the one who handed him the envelope was Senior Sister Sun, who was ordinary in appearance but had a frighteningly high IQ and possessed a vengeful nature.

The so-called life is one wrong step, often leading to three years of unlucky dangerous journey.

Lin Shu said: "It's really terrible to offend Senior Sister Sun."

Ju Mingfeng said: "It's been almost ten years, can't you spare me? Let's not talk about that female devil, okay?"

Lin Shu followed the example of kindness, changed the subject and stopped provoking him, and said instead: "However, you handled it well today, and you feel that you have matured a lot. You even encouraged the little girl to study hard, not bad."

Ju Mingfeng then said: "Anyway, I've lived for so many years, I can't compete with a little girl. And don't underestimate people, I'm a bit old anyway, who hasn't been childish and arrogant when I was young? But is it possible to have this virtue for the rest of your life?"

Lin Shu said: "Looking at your style this year, you can't see this awareness."

Ju Mingfeng laughed suddenly, and said: "What kind of time do you do what kind of thing. I have a sense of propriety, and I usually just enjoy my childhood. Um... I'm just pretending that I'm still a child. Didn't you say that you enjoyed being a teenager when you were a teenager?"

Lin Shu suddenly smiled and held his hand.

As Ju Mingfeng said - how common and unsurprising it is for a child to hold hands.

Afterwards, Lin Shu and Ju Mingfeng's primary school organized a tomb-sweeping on the Ghost Festival.In the past few years, traditional culture has been revived, and traditional festivals have also been revived. The Shangyuan Festival, Qixi Festival, and Winter Solstice Festival have gradually begun to reappear.In fact, to put it bluntly, entertainment has also revived now that the economy has developed, and the nature of people's play has also increased, so various festivals have naturally revived.

However, the grave-sweeping during the Hungry Ghost Festival in elementary school is of course not the kind of grave-sweeping that burns incense and paper at home.A group of primary school students were actually organized to go to the martyrs cemetery to mourn the martyrs.

In order to show solemnity, there is a special process for mourning martyrs.During this process, there was even a TV station to shoot, so in order to frighten a group of brats, the teachers were very serious, hoping to frighten the turnip heads who formed a square formation with their fierce expressions.

When Ju Mingfeng was in the school, he never took the lead in making trouble when he came out, and even helped maintain order.So in the end, the teachers' deterrence policy was quite successful.

However, when queuing up to worship, Lin Shu unexpectedly saw a familiar figure in the crowd.He thought that his vision was wrong, but after staring at him for a while, he still felt that the figure from behind was Jing He.

After having a private conversation with Ju Mingfeng, Ju Mingfeng also poked his head to take a look, and then came to a conclusion: "That is definitely Jing He."

And Jing He in the crowd was pushing a wheelchair to walk among the crowd.Sitting in the wheelchair he was pushing was an old lady with gray hair who looked quite old.Lin Shu couldn't help wondering who the other party was from Jing He.

He knew that Jing He's mother was old and sick, but the old lady sitting in the wheelchair looked sixty or seventy years old at least, and Jing He was only in her 70s. If it was her mother, she was too old. up.

But if it was grandmother or maternal grandmother, Lin Shu had never heard Jing He mention it.

After worshiping the martyrs, the children were temporarily released for a while.Although the teacher strictly limited the scope of activities, Lin Shu still slipped out with Ju Mingfeng while the teacher was not paying attention, and slipped to another area of ​​the cemetery where Jing He was walking towards.

The martyrs' tomb and the general cemetery are separated in the cemetery area where they came.There were many people in the cemetery during the Ghost Festival, and Lin Shu just went to try his luck, but unexpectedly saw Jing He when he walked around.

He went over to say hello.

Jing He was naturally surprised to see the two, but he was relieved to hear that they were organized by the school to sweep the grave.After that, he opened his mouth and introduced Lin Shu and Ju Mingfeng to the old lady in the wheelchair.He didn't say what their identities were, only that they were children of the boss's family... There was no big mistake in saying that, Lin Shu's family and Ju Mingfeng's family were originally his boss's family.

The old lady smiled kindly, nodded, and asked the two of them a few words. She seemed to have a clear mind.

Lin Shu and Ju Mingfeng also knew from Jing He that this old lady was really Jing He's mother.

But the one they came to worship was not Jing He's father, but a young girl who looked seventeen or eighteen years old.

Lin Shu carefully looked at the writing on the tomb, but found that the date of burial in the tomb was 27 years ago, and the girl was only 17 years old.

Jing He said: "My sister is buried here. She passed away before I was born. She herself was a top student at Yenching University, and she was No.2 in the city in the college entrance examination that year. Jingshi encountered an accident and passed away."

His tone was calm, but there was still some sadness in his bones.The old lady heard him say this, although she was still smiling, her eyes were already red, and she said: "Amei is a good child, it is because your father and I have no luck to continue to be her parents. The pain in my heart is because It won't be well until she dies. All these years, I just hope that she has been reincarnated, grows up safely, and lives a smooth and happy life."

As she said this, her fingers slowly slid across a string of rosary beads, reciting scriptures a few times inaudibly.

Lin Shu looked at the tombstone, then at Jing He and Jing's mother in the wheelchair, but slowly figured things out.

Jing He is 25, his sister died 27 years ago, and the old lady looks very old, so Jing He should be born after the old lady lost her only daughter at an advanced age.

Losing her independence in middle age... Obviously, Jing He's family also has a very heavy story.

But what Lin Shu didn't know was that the old lady didn't believe in Buddhism in the first place.Being able to raise two highly educated children, the old lady and her husband are naturally not ordinary people.In their own time, the two were actually high-level intellectuals that people looked up to. At that time, the intellectuals believed in science and insisted on atheism, and the old lady was no exception.

The old lady believed in Buddhism, in fact, after Jing He's sister passed away.

When people encounter irresistible tragedies, because of despair or fragility, they often rely on religion.Intellectuals are no exception.

Lin Shu and Ju Mingfeng also gave Jing Mei a stick of incense by the way.During the process of offering incense, Lin Shu stared at the photo on the tombstone for a while, and suddenly found something.

The next day, Jing He told Lin Shu about his mother and family in the chat software, and Lin Shu knew the reason why Jing He gave up his future and had to come back to take care of his mother.

Not to mention the old lady's advanced age, what Jing He is afraid of is making the old lady feel lonely.It is no worse than the pain of losing a husband, because Jing He's father has lived to a certain age after all, and the old lady is actually mentally prepared for the longevity of her husband and wife.

The most painful thing is to bring up a child so hard to adulthood, but suddenly suffer the pain of loss.As the old lady said, this kind of pain has been with her all her life, and will even accompany her until she is buried.

Then during this conversation, Lin Shu suddenly asked: "Brother Jing, your sister... seems to look a bit like Sister Yu."

Jing He was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't feel offended by it. Instead, he smiled and said: "You found out. Yes, I think it's a bit like that too. I haven't actually met my sister, but I have seen many photos of her. When I first came to apply for a job and met Cindy, I felt that she was a bit like my sister. Although she was a little younger than me, I actually thought about it a little bit at the time. After all, reincarnation might also need to queue up. .”

Lin Shu didn't expect him to say such a thing, and was taken aback for a moment.Jing Heping's usual behavior is actually very rational, not like a superstitious person, so Lin Shu was very surprised.

But I heard Jing He continue to say: "Is my statement very superstitious? In fact, I was influenced by my mother since I was a child. I am a little bit superstitious, and I still believe in Buddhism."

Lin Shu shook his head: "The teacher always said not to be superstitious, but the word superstition itself does not only refer to religion, but a way of thinking. I think Brother Jing, even if you believe in Buddhism, you should have a more rational attitude. That would not be called superstition.”

Jing He nodded and said, "It's actually just a good expectation. After all, sometimes for people living in the world, it is much easier to accept that there is reincarnation and reincarnation than that there is nothing after death. "

This topic became a bit heavy, so Lin Shu quickly changed the subject and said, "So at that time Brother Jing spoke for Sister Yu because she felt like your sister."

Jing He was silent for a while, and then said: "Actually, it's not true. It just reminds me of my sister when I see Cindy, but I'm not naive enough to really think that she is the reincarnation of my sister... Although I have hope in my heart, I actually know It's unlikely. I think the reason I said that at the time was because I was stung by her appearance."

"Old clothes, old school bags, bad complexion... It looks like I have suffered a lot. What I thought at that moment was, if my sister was reincarnated, would she also be reincarnated in a very bad family or environment Will she be miserable? Just thinking about it makes me think it doesn't matter if Cindy is my sister or not."

Thinking of my own sister, that's why I can't bear the suffering of other girls; thinking of my own father, that's why I can't help but help other people's father.

The most sincere kindness in the world is just that.

Lin Shu asked, "What about now? Brother Jing, do you still take care of Sister Yu because she is pitiful?"

But Jing He smiled and said, "Children, don't ask so many questions." Although Jing He paused for a while, he still replied, "Cindy doesn't need my pity. She will be unremitting no matter what the situation is." A person who saves herself. In comparison, I have no qualifications to sympathize with her."
