Trembling At A High Altitude

Chapter 844

The head of the studio welcomed the eight newcomers.

After passing the interview and entering the studio, the first step is to undergo a physical examination.

Entering an upright metal cabinet-shaped machine filled with various instruments and equipment, detailed facial shots, full-body scans, and some examinations of unknown nature were performed.

After completing the physical examination, the studio manager arranged work for the new employees.

Everyone entered the workroom, which looked like a game arcade.

Each person has a game cabin, and each game cabin is equipped with a multi-functional seat, a console and a large screen.

The eight game cabins are distributed in an octahedral shape. After entering, the doors of the game cabins will automatically close to form a small confined space.

Under the guidance of the person in charge, the eight people each chose a game cabin, walked in, and sat on very comfortable seats.

Through the previous interview, you should have already guessed it, right? We are a game studio.

So, your job is...

“Playing games.

Turn on the console in front of you and you will automatically enter the game interface.

“You can use the game controller to control the characters in the game.

If the character you control dies...

Sorry, there is no resurrection system in this game, you will permanently lose your character and be fired from the studio.

Okay, now you can start building your character.

The voice of the head of the studio came into the game cabin and introduced the work that the eight people were about to work on.

After the person in charge finished speaking, everyone in the game cabin reached out and turned on the button of the console in front of them.

The big screen in the game cabin lit up. There was no startup screen or startup menu. It took just one second to enter the game login interface.

The scanning device in the game cabin automatically scanned the eight people on the seats. The previous physical examination had also entered the information of the eight people into the system, so the game also automatically recognized the identities of the eight people and placed their avatars. On the login button, after pressing the handle button, you will enter the game interface.

Next is the novice tutorial.

Mainly introduces the functions of various buttons.

For game veterans, this kind of introductory tutorial is actually redundant.

Li Teng skipped most of them and just focused on his attribute panel.

Basic attributes: Strength: 15; Agility: 15; Wisdom: 15; Skill: 15; Endurance: 15; Charisma: 15;

Hidden attributes: Courage: 100; Luck: 100; Potential: 100; Spirit: 100;

Note: The average basic attribute of ordinary people is 10, and the upper limit is 15;

The higher the value of hidden attributes, the better; basic attributes can increase with the character's various trainings and actual combat; hidden attributes will only increase when special encounters occur.

Does it look like they're all at the upper limit? I wonder what the others are like?

Being in a closed game cabin and unable to see the attribute panels of other actors, Li Teng could only make random guesses.

Judging from the previous interview experience, it seems that the studio is digging a hole for actors like them. If you blindly believe everything you see, you may fall into the hole they dug.

Therefore, the values ​​​​in this attribute panel can only be used as a rough reference and cannot be fully trusted.

The plot does not announce the next task, but Li Teng can almost guess it.

Once fired by the studio, it means the failure of the plot mission.

The film is called Death Studio.

And it's a thriller type of film.

Based on his own experience of reading online novels, Li Teng feels that this time the film will not be as simple as the studio director said. After the character dies, he will only be fired by the studio.

His guess... Once the characters in the game die, it is very likely that they, the 'players', will die!

In this kind of crew-type film, the result of the death of an actor is a penalty of 1,000 points.

For the current Li Teng, 1,000 points may not matter, but for the other seven new actors, if 1,000 points are deducted, they will almost certainly turn into wax statues.

Although 1,000 points was nothing to him, Li Teng didn't want to fail in the plot mission.

Therefore, he will work very hard to ensure that his game character does not die.

After the novice tutorial ended, Li Teng's character appeared on a grassy field.

The other seven characters also appeared on the grass.

On the heads of the characters are their respective names, so they are not afraid of misidentifying the person.

There are some puppets, weapon racks, archery targets and the like next to it. It looks like it should be a training ground.

All of them were only wearing simple cloth clothes and holding an old iron sword and a wooden shield.

The character's face, body, height, weight, etc. are all modeled after scanning the operator, so they look exactly like the actor himself, and you can recognize the actor when you see the character.

In front of the eight characters, stood a man with the word 'instructor' written above his head. He was obviously an NPC.

Okay, that's it for today's training.

“Next, I’m going to announce four rules, and you should listen carefully.

“First, we are not allowed to attack the townspeople;

“Second, you are not allowed to enter prohibited areas of the town;

“Third, you cannot leave the town after dark;

“Fourth, even if you leave the town during the day, you must go with at least two people;

Okay, you can move freely now. The instructor announced a few words, then turned and walked away.

Wait a minute, instructor! Zeng Wenyu's voice rang.

What's the matter with you? The instructor stopped.

Haha, I just want to try the voice system of this game and the intelligence of the NPC. It looks pretty good. Zeng Wenyu laughed.

Don't treat this as a game, or you will regret it. The instructor warned Zeng Wenyu, then turned and walked away.

This NPC is really interesting. Zeng Wenyu laughed again.

Hey! Hey! Hey! Can you hear my voice? the voice of female player Zhou Miaomiao.

I can hear it. Zeng Wenyu answered Zhou Miaomiao.

What are we going to do next? the voice of female player Zhang Jiayu.

Playing games, what do you want to do? Take the mission! Zheng Jiu said, and then saw his character leaving the training ground and walking towards the town.

Others also controlled their characters to leave the training ground and walked to the town ahead.

Zheng Jiu had just passed the corner in front when a zombie suddenly rushed over with a roar, grabbed his character with both hands, and opened its mouth to bite his character.

Fortunately, Zheng Jiu reacted quickly and controlled the game controller to retreat continuously, avoiding the attacks of zombies.

No one expected that zombies would appear in the novice village where they, newbies to the game, lived!

That's why Zheng Jiu was caught off guard.

Chapter 845

After escaping the attack of the zombie, Zheng Jiu immediately controlled the joystick and buttons of the game controller, preparing to chop the zombie to death with the iron sword in his hand to regain his face.

But what he didn't expect was that after his character retreated, he automatically let out a frightened scream for help, and then sat down on the ground!

If you look carefully, you will find that his character's pants are wet.

These screams and calls for help are not from me! Zheng Jiu felt very embarrassed. He shook the joystick of the game controller crazily and pressed the buttons, trying to make the character stand up, but the character seemed completely out of control. , no response no matter how I manipulate it.

Seeing that the zombies were about to fall on Zheng Jiu, other players also tried to control their characters, waving iron swords to go to the rescue. They never thought that their characters would either stand on the same spot, unable to control them at all, or He turned around and retreated far away.

At the critical moment, Li Teng controlled his character and rushed over. He cut off the zombie's neck with a sword and saved Zheng Jiu's character.

What kind of bullshit game is this? The character was out of control at the critical moment just now! Zheng Jiu cursed angrily.

That's right! I just wanted to save you, but my role was out of control. Li Fu spoke.

How can we play without being able to control the character at critical moments? Other players also complained.

The reason why you can't control your character is because your hidden attribute value, courage, is too low. The meaning of courage includes courage, but it refers to courage with wisdom. Your courage is small, which causes your character to face danger. When you are playing, you instinctively want to escape, which is reflected in the game operation, that is, the command is out of control. The voice of the head of the studio rang in each player's game cabin.

Li Teng understood after hearing this.

His hidden attribute courage reaches 100, so when facing zombies, his character does not panic at all and can execute his operations perfectly.

It seems that the initial attributes of game players are not consistent, but reflect everyone's true situation.

My hidden attribute courage is only 33 points, and according to the introduction, this attribute cannot be improved. How can I play like this? Zheng Jiu asked the person in charge.

Who said this attribute can't be improved? Courage is very small, you can practice it! Courage can be improved by watching horror movies at night, playing horror games, or wandering alone in cemeteries in the middle of the night. Courage can be improved! With the improvement, combined with the improvement of the basic attribute wisdom, the courage will naturally improve. The voice of the person in charge sounded again.

What I'm asking is how to improve the courage of game characters by playing games? Zheng Jiu felt that the person in charge was talking nonsense.

As your personal courage improves, your character's courage in the game will naturally improve. Of course, if your character in the game experiences more battles and more terrorist incidents, his courage will also improve. The person in charge Answered Zheng Jiu.

It can still be like this... okay... Zheng Jiu didn't ask any more questions.

Although they are new actors, they have acted in a few scenes and have some understanding of the film and television city.

And this is the script world. What the studio manager said should be the setting of the script world. Since it is the setting of the script world, they don't need to question anything.

Senior Li, how brave are you? Female player Roland asked Li Teng a question.

When they all lost control of their controllers just now, only Li Teng didn't lose control and rushed forward to save Zheng Jiu.

His courage is 100, which is the full value, so he will not lose any control when controlling the character. Seeing that Li Teng did not speak, the person in charge answered Roland for Li Teng.

Damn! So tall? More than four times as tall as me!

By the way, before the show started, who said that high-level actors don't have any advantages?

Haha, that's a slap in the face, the attribute value is much higher than ours!

Seniors are seniors.

...

The seven actors were all amazed.

100 is the full value? Then speaking of which, my hidden attributes have also reached the upper limit of ordinary people? Li Teng heard the words of the person in charge and thought quickly.

But it's not surprising.

What has he not experienced in these hundreds of years? So these experiences are all a kind of training, which have already raised all his attribute values ​​to the limit that ordinary people can achieve.

This is the advantage that old actors have over new actors.

…

After the zombie incident, everyone became cautious after entering the town, worried that a zombie would rush out somewhere and catch them off guard.

The attribute of courage is too low, which makes them very insecure when controlling the character.

In the past, when playing games, the character would do whatever the controller told him to do. Now, the situation is that walking is no problem, but when entering a battle scene, the controller will actually malfunction! How to play this?

Everyone's caution seemed a bit unnecessary.

The zombies outside the training ground seemed to be just an independent incident.

After entering the town, the town is full of various townspeople NPCs, and there are no aggressive monsters at all.

Don't leave the town today. Walk around the town, take on some NPC tasks, increase your intimacy with the NPCs, and become familiar with the town. We will form a team and go to the wild together tomorrow. The person in charge said. The sound started.

Since the person in charge said so, of course the eight players followed what he said.

Players quickly became familiar with the town. There are weapons stores, pharmacies, shops, residences, taverns, hotels, barracks and other functional buildings. Some players also found a small amount of gold coins in the vacant houses in the town.

Gold coins can be used to purchase weapons, equipment and various medicines.

However, the prices of weapons, equipment, medicines, etc. are very high, and a small amount of gold coins are not enough to allow them to upgrade to better weapons and equipment.

If you want to get more gold coins, of course you have to do NPC tasks, or kill monsters in the wild and sell various trophies.

A few hours passed, and the sky in the game slowly turned dark.

Under the instructions of the person in charge, the players came to the hotel in the town, paid for the room with the gold coins they earned during the day, and allowed the characters to settle down in the hotel room.

Then the eight players each walked out of the game cabin.

This is your salary for today. After get off work, you can move around freely. The person in charge gave everyone a mobile phone, and the salary was directly paid to the WeChat account of the mobile phone, 300 yuan per person.

By the way, you don't know where your dormitory is yet, right? I'll take you there. The person in charge suddenly remembered something when he saw the confused faces of the players.

So everyone followed the person in charge out of the studio, went to the corridor outside, entered the elevator, got off the elevator and came to the lobby on the first floor. When they walked out of the lobby on the first floor, they looked back and saw an office building.

People and cars coming and going outside are no different from the real world.
