Chapter 405: There Is No Simple Game with the World

In the following days, I basically played games, made videos, and used the game cabin to meet my children.

Finally, I collected enough information, learned how to dub, arrange and edit the video, and released it!

I didn't have much hope at first, and I didn't have any grandchildren to coax, so I thought it was just to pass the boring time in daily life.

Unexpectedly, after the video was released, the response it received was indeed huge.

In one week, 140,000 views were played.

For a person who is new to video production and is relatively rough, this is already a very good result.

The comments section was full of praise.

This surprised the little old man Ge Shengli and made him very happy.

Self-media seems to be quite fun.

"Then what should I post in the next video? What is the elegance of the troll race?"

While thinking about it, he lay down on the game cabin.

I took a look at the number of people online.

Nearly a month has passed, and there are more players in World of Warcraft. The number of online players at the same time has reached 5.9 million, and it is still increasing rapidly.

This is to be expected.

But when I looked at the game called Minecraft next to me, I was even more surprised.

The last time I checked, there were 27,000 online, and now it has reached 56,000.

It doesn't seem like much.

But this is a game that has never been announced and is buried in a dazzling array of software.

It is also a pixel style that many players will not pay attention to at all.

It stands to reason that a game like this will reach its peak with the release of the game console, and then slowly decline until no one cares.

But the number of players of this game is increasing as time goes by.

Is there anything interesting about it? Maybe there's a secret inside?

Now Ge Shengli is no longer the middle-aged man who has little interest in games.

But a player who discovered a new world continent.

Then give it a try.

Thinking about it, enter the game and click start.

The game mode is survival, with normal difficulty.

Then, they came to a map that looked like an island.

Just like the screenshots you saw, this world is made up of pixel blocks, and there is nothing unexpected about it.

This was a bit disappointing.

I am used to the realistic and realistic graphics in World of Warcraft and the intelligent NPCs that can chat.

Looking at these pixel blocks in Minecraft, I always feel uncomfortable.

But now that it’s open, let’s simply play with it.

There are no task prompts in the game, no guidance on what to do and what not to do, and even no operation prompts.

However, jumping, attacking, and some operations that are in line with basic player intuition are still there, and it is not difficult to understand them.

After taking two simple steps, Ge Shengli was a little surprised.

The scenery in this game is actually pretty good?

The sky is blue and white clouds are blowing, the sea breeze is blowing, and there is a beautiful rainbow on the horizon.

When the sun shines down, there is a shadow effect.

A very nice island scenery.

Now that you’re here, let’s take a walk around.

Take a leisurely stroll around the island and look at the scenery.

Although it is a pixel style, it has a unique look.

It was also discovered that the bricks in the map can be broken and materials can be picked up.

Smashing things here and there, picking things up here and there, chasing away pigs and beating chickens, just like the naughty children in the village.

While at the beach, I tried digging underneath.

I was surprised to find that the seawater composed of this block could actually move and flow in a lower direction.

It's just a block translation.

Maybe the game isn't as simple as it seems?

But what are you picturing?

Ge Shengli's current state is a bit like what is said on the Internet.

where am I? who I am? What am I doing?

status.

There are all kinds of things in the backpack, and I have no idea what materials they are made of.

Unknowingly, night falls.

I am still complaining about the reduced visibility at night and the scenery is not so beautiful.

I saw a person made of pixel squares, or a zombie, appeared in front of me.

When I saw him, I rushed up to him without hesitation.

"Oh? There's also a combat system?"

With no skills or weapons, he charged forward with his fists.

Then in less than five seconds, there was a silence as he watched the death reminder.

No, you haven’t beaten a single monster?

Load the file again and beat the zombies again.

After trying several times, I found that it was not impossible to defeat the zombies, but it was more difficult and not something that a middle-aged and elderly man like him could solve.

After the second death, I thought about it.

Since there are so many monsters in the wild, it's okay as long as I don't get attacked?

Then he picked up his fist and started to smash the floor, hitting about three squares of space.

After jumping down, use the materials in the backpack to fill in the opened area.

Although it's pitch black and you can't see anything, it's better than being killed, right?

The first night was spent like this.

After waiting for a long time until the sun rose again, he dug up the dirt above his head and walked out.

Well, it's to build a house to defend against attacks, right?

From his perspective, building a house in the game is much easier.

There is no need to consider various complex factors in reality. There are not even beams, and the bricks are just hanging in the air and cannot fall down.

A boxy simple house with no doors or windows was built.

It's very crude, but it does give me a sense of accomplishment.

"Is this how the game works? Build a house to escape night after night?"

Confused, he used the search function of the game cabin to find a guide.

"How to survive the night in Minecraft Search!"

Click on a video and watch it.

At first glance, Ge Shengli was silent.

The corners of his mouth twitched, and he felt the blood vessels on his forehead jump.

On the screen in front of him was a very delicate little house with a red pointed roof and a chimney, like the ones commonly seen in fairy tales, with a window and a door, and a wardrobe, bed, table and chairs in the house.

"I'm here to search for game guides, you show me your house, right?!"

Ge Shengli was instantly angry, and the pride of an architect was aroused, and his face was a little hot.

I am a professional, and the house I built in the game is not as good as that of an ordinary player? !

What a disgrace!

"Okay, okay, if you show off like this, the national team will be dispatched!"

Thinking, he turned off the video without hesitation and returned to the game.

The fire of not admitting defeat burned in his eyes.

At night

Ge Jing was in the rest room of the game cabin, listening to the phone calls that were never answered, feeling puzzled.

What was the old father doing again?

Until the third call, the phone was finally connected.

"Hello? Dad, what are you doing?"

Before she could finish her sentence, she was interrupted.

"I don't have time, I'm busy, my old job, don't call me."

Then, she hung up.

There was silence for two seconds, and she didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

No, is buying this game cabin a good thing or a bad thing?

How did the old father who never played games become addicted to the Internet?

Last time it was World of Warcraft, and this time it was Minecraft.

Games with the word "world" in the name seem to be not simple. (End of this chapter)
