Hyperreal board game

The exterior walls of the five-story dilapidated building standing beside the national road are dusty, and there is no elevator.An Ge and the others followed up to the third floor, passing suspicious offices with the signs of "Miaojiang Ancient Fang Feilong Shenye Sales Center", "Successful Life Training Base in Changsheng City Office", and "XXX Investment Management Center" respectively, and came to In room 305 at the far end, the sign above is "Legend of Eternal Beauty Essence Sales Center".

Zhang Hong was still carrying the packed plastic bag, and on the outside of the white bag was printed a big "Delicious, Affordable" in red block letters——Qiwei Keju doesn’t provide packing service, Boss Qi made it a point because of his good relationship with him commanded.The plastic lunch box for the leftovers was bought by the clerk temporarily, and the plastic bag was Zhang Hong's own.

He was holding a plastic bag in one hand, and opened the door with the key in the other. The old door lock rattled, and he was wearing an army green coat that was worn white at the elbows. For some reason, it looked like the whole building. The run-down style is perfect.

An Ge has a deeper and more intuitive feeling about the fact that the Special Opposition Committee "lacks funds", and it is even more realistic than the artifact in his hand - PHB (Player's Handbook).

Yue Zimo heard that he was still living here, so he couldn't help but said: "My family happens to have an unoccupied house near here, why don't I rent it to you cheaply?"

How come your family happens to have a house everywhere!Where did you come from, the stupid son of the landlord's family?

Zhang Hong shook his head without thinking about it: "I can't afford to rent it. I live here very well. Be careful when you come in. The light is not very good. There is a table at the door."

The dim light barely illuminates the not-so-big office. The space of less than [-] square meters is divided into a reception area: a faded and yellowed artificial leather sofa with holes surrounds a tea table with peeling paint. There is a pot of asparagus bamboo that is half withered and a plastic ashtray that has been scalded countless times and is so black and deformed.

Then there is the product display area. There are actually some decent bottles and cans in the two glass cabinets. The purple-red lids are very similar to some big-name skin care products in a supermarket.

Then there is the office area, the crowded cubicles can accommodate three to four people.

And there are piles of bills, documents, and even a very old desktop computer on everyone's desk. It seems that someone is really working, but today is Saturday, so it's just a rest.

And Zhang Hong also explained this way: "We are on a [-]-[-] weekend, so they are not here today. If it weren't for the weekend, our benefits are still good. Even if we don't get paid occasionally, the vacation time is still guaranteed. "

An Ge praised dryly: "That's not bad."

Zhang Hong giggled, not sure if he really thought it was good, or he was laughing at himself.He walked straight through the entire office, and walked to a gray iron door with the words "warehouse important area, no idlers allowed to enter" on the innermost side.

This time, I didn’t use the key, but pulled on the seemingly dilapidated door frame, pulled out a password input device, entered the password cracklingly, scanned the palm print, and then leaned over the door frame to scan the iris, and then the iron door fell into the wall without a sound Disappeared.

Zhang Hong walked in first, and turned his head to greet with a smile: "Come in, this is our office area, the outside is all disguised."

An Ge: I almost believed it...

The space inside the door was far wider than they had imagined. The upstairs and downstairs extended in all directions, and all five floors were opened up.Lighting fixtures hidden in the walls emit a soft glow, making the corridors as bright as day.

Occasionally, staff members in suits hurried past and greeted Zhang Hong politely.The staff members were all young, and they looked at An Ge and Yue Zimo with unconcealed curiosity, but they all tacitly did not come forward to talk to them without authorization.

Zhang Hong led them all the way downstairs, judging from the distance, An Ge thought they were already in the basement.

Finally, they stopped in front of a room that read "Reference Room Zero and One". Zhang Hong turned the doorknob lightly and opened it, "This is it."

As soon as the voice fell, an aria-like recitation came from the room: "Romeo, Romeo, why are you Romeo? Deny your father and throw away your life!"

"Stop! Are you a pig! It's about abandoning your name, not your life! Let the person you like abandon your life as soon as you meet, is this a sick girl in a third-rate light novel? Did you do it on purpose?"

"What's wrong with Biaojiao, isn't Biaojiao very good? Isn't it just a little deviant, I still want to be Biaojiao."

"With your plump head and big ears, it's easy to get sick, so don't dream about Jiao."

"Lin Dayong, what do you mean! What's wrong with my dignity, who is crying and begging me to reverse the role of Juliet, and still despises it, you can do it, you can do it, I won't act anymore!"

"Xiaozhao, Xiaozhao, don't go, I was wrong, I was wrong. There is nothing I can do, I don't want my big sister to be my Juliet, the whole special committee is about the right age for us..."

The two teenagers who were arguing in the reference room seemed completely unaware that there were people watching outside the door.

Zhang Hong let out a majestic cough, which attracted the attention of the two children. They turned their heads and saw An Ge and Yue Zimo, and their eyes lit up immediately: "Uncle Zhang Hong brought a newcomer back? Wow, it's been a long time." See newcomers joining, welcome!"

Zhang Hong waved his hand, "How many times have I told you to call me brother... I just brought two outsiders to look at the materials, what are you doing, the annual meeting program?"

The two teenagers nodded like pecking at rice, and kept looking at An Ge and Yue Zimo with curiosity.

An Ge is also looking at them. He has never seen such a young child in the mod. He looks at most fifteen or sixteen years old, and his brows are completely unaffected by the game system. Middle school students who worry about homework while playing games with their schoolbags are no different.

Zhang Hong asked them to rehearse elsewhere, and then closed the door, "Chinese New Year is coming soon, and we are going to have an annual meeting, so let's rehearse the program. These two children are the youngest players I have met since the establishment of the Special Opportunity Committee, so We all raise them as our own children and let them play in the office."

An Ge nodded, already attracted by the furnishings in the reference room.

There are a lot of photos on the wall, and the names of many modules are written next to the photos. Zhang Hong said: "These are game designers. According to current statistics, the modules experienced by players are all from these 42 authors. Big Some of them are Chinese. Hey, it’s a coincidence that the number of the Chaos Point you destroyed is also 42.”

Neither An Ge nor Yue Zimo understood: "What point?"

Zhang Hong was carrying the plastic bag all the time, and it was only now on the side table against the wall. Then he opened the file cabinet, took out a folder and handed it to them.

"I really can't think of a good name. After all, the players are game geeks, so they just call it whatever they want. No one will charge us copyright fees anyway."

Your idea is a bit dangerous, my friend.

It has been more than 30 years since the establishment of the Special Opportunity Committee, and it is still impossible to trace when the board game system appeared, and it is still impossible to confirm whether there will be an end.Veteran players either died in a certain mod, or disappeared suddenly, completely unreachable.

But one thing is certain - the Chaos Point was observed 15 years ago.

Although it is still impossible to confirm the reason for the appearance of the chaotic point, the Special Opportunity Committee has now been able to summarize its characteristics.

The biggest feature of the module called "Chaos Point" is that the player plays the real self in the game.This can easily cause players to confuse reality and games, and many people fail because of this.

"But, is it just like that?" Yue Zimo was puzzled, "If it's just a new way to play, you wouldn't make special observations, would you?"

Zhang Hong raised his index finger, "Smart. That's true. The main reason why it is called Chaos Point is that this type of module will generate power that can blur the boundaries of dimensions. Have you heard of Dimensional Walls? Oh, but , It is impossible for anyone who can walk into the gate of the Special Opportunity Committee not to know."

Yue Zimo was even more confused: "But isn't that a joke? The dimensional wall...does it really exist?"

Zhang Hong said: "Of course the dimensional wall exists objectively, because it is too natural, but it is ignored by people. No matter how cute and beautiful the paper wife on the screen is, if you lick it, it will only have the rigid taste of a capacitive screen. It's the Dimensional Wall."

Yue Zimo: "I don't know why it sounds a little sad..."

Zhang Hong sighed: "Who says it's not? Love across dimensions is the most tragic and hopeless, because no matter how deeply you love, you are doomed to never be able to touch the real her. Ah, I didn't mean to say this, anyway. However, the Chaos Point module will blur this natural boundary. It's like...how should I put it? NPCs who should be acting according to the program suddenly run around the field, and they are obviously just waving a chainsaw on the other side of the screen Murderer, the audience was terrified and thought at ease. Fortunately, they are all made-up stories. They are fake, and they will never be encountered in reality, so they are safe. But when they turned around, the audience next to them was looking at you slyly Smiling, and raised the chainsaw in his hand - probably this feeling."

An Ge nodded: "I understand a little bit, what is the purpose?"

Yue Zimo: "I don't understand..."

Zhang Hong: "What will happen if the dimensional wall breaks and the fictional monsters run into reality?"

Yue Zimo suddenly realized: "It turned out to be this. I remember which forum discussed it. If it really ran out, wouldn't it be enough to destroy the earth we live on a hundred times? Ah! Could it be, really?"

Zhang Hong: "It's not that exaggerated. After all, from the perspective of quantum physics, it is not that simple to cross dimensions. Chaos points confuse the boundaries of dimensions, which is a bit like digging tiny cracks in the wall."

An Ge's heart skipped a beat.

He flipped through the information Zhang Hong handed over, which contained many records of the Chaos Point module, as well as related analysis and guesses, coupled with Zhang Hong's explanation, gave him some new ideas.
