Chapter 200 The Strange Alarm Clock (Second Update)
Different from the gods, who are born from the collective will of mankind, Tian Xuan is a naturally born little heaven. Although they are all part of the local heaven, their logic of action is more "Tao" ”, not God.
She experienced the oppression of the Disease Demon Lord, and then received help from human players. This fate made her more inclined to humans.
Putting it on the Tiandao Network, she prefers to provide various conveniences to human players.
This convenience does not appear in a physical way, it is a mysterious and mysterious manifestation, a gift of "Tao".
For players, the most intuitive feeling is that their luck in the game seems to have improved a lot, and their characters have become more attractive.
The governors of the galaxy have become better at talking, and you can get better results from exploring ruins. Players working in the laboratory can get more convenience, and there are more opportunities to get better items.
As the gods under her management, they feel the changes brought about by Tian Xuan more intuitively.
On the one hand, they have to personally repair the previous financial disaster, on the other hand, they have a new task, which is to work for the players.
In the past, the gods were aloof. They only needed to maintain the operation of the heavenly network and then enjoy the worship of the world.
But now, the sect has been defeated, and they owe Tianliang Faith. They have to work for the players according to Tian Xuan's orders, respond to the players' needs, and perform miracles.
The old order finally collapsed due to twists and turns, and the gods were forced to swallow their own bitter pills and begin to adapt to the new world.
And Fangcheng also gained a lot.
A large number of special items were sold to the outside world by players, and were later mortgaged to Fangcheng by the gods as collateral. These items usually have powerful reality interference capabilities, and some items may be used to extend unique gameplay.
But the problem now is that there are a lot of these things.
Thousands of items are piled up, and most of them have some side effects, but with a little organization, there will be no problem.
In Fang Cheng's view, these items are like items refined by a master of weapon refinement. They are of high quality, have unique effects, and are quite modern. They are also good as office supplies.
After thinking about it, Fang Cheng thought it would be good to select some and put them in his studio.
After all, employees' salaries should be able to meet their needs, so their working environment needs to be improved.
Over the weekend, Fang Cheng took what he had obtained and began to make a major renovation of his studio.
These things may seem ordinary, but they will definitely greatly improve the efficiency of employees' work and make their studio more comfortable.
On Monday, when Huang Ping stepped into the studio and prepared to start working, he first felt something was wrong.
Looking up, he found that there seemed to be some changes in the lounge.
The lounges in Fangcheng Studio have always been separated and corresponded one to one. Each lounge has free drinks and single beds, and is completely soundproofed, so you can do anything in it.
Huang Ping would occasionally take a nap in the lounge. After all, he was an old man in his early thirties, so he couldn't stand the afternoon without a nap.
Walking forward, he found that the bedside in the lounge had been removed and replaced by a square beanbag.
The brand of the sofa cannot be seen, but it feels very soft. There are tiny particles under the finely crafted fabric, and the particles are made of who knows what process. After you lift your hand, it can slowly return to its original shape.
"That's awesome. Where did the boss get this black technology?"
Huang Ping patted it curiously, thinking that he had nothing to do today, so it wouldn't hurt to experience it.
So, he closed the door of his personal lounge, then carefully lay down on the lazy sofa, and then let out a satisfied gasp.
These sofas look soft, but after lying on them, the particles inside will automatically change into a shape that best fits the user, making people's fatigue fly away unconsciously.
Moreover, the sofa seems to have an automatic massage function. The automatic massager hidden inside continuously releases a refreshing shock, which immediately relaxes Huang Ping's tired shoulders.
Closing his eyes, Huang Ping felt that he could stay here forever.
But soon, he opened his eyes.
Wiping the saliva from the corner of his mouth, he secretly said something bad.
I almost fell asleep here!
Looking at the time, he found that he had been lying down for ten minutes, which meant that ten minutes of his precious work time had disappeared.
Can't continue!
Huang Ping, you can't be so depraved!
Just as Huang Ping was about to leave, he found a sand painting on the small desk beside him.
This is a one-foot-square black translucent container with oil and white sand sealed inside. Every time the sand painting is turned upside down, the shape inside will change.
There was no such thing in the personal lounge before. It seems that the boss worked overtime on weekends and made it.
Huang Ping shook the container in confusion, and saw the sand inside rising up, and then slowly settling. When it settled, a brand new pattern appeared inside, and it looked quite artistic.
It looks like a snow-capped mountain and a desert.
The black and white colors combine into different shapes at this moment, giving the simple picture a wonderful charm.
After admiring it for a while, Huang Ping felt a little sleepy.
In his sleepy state, the beanbag next to him became twice as attractive, as if someone was holding his hand to let him in and take a nap.
This feeling was so strong that Huang Ping almost got hit and finally managed to break free.
Quickly walking out of the door, he closed the door of his personal lounge, and then lamented that he couldn't just enter the lounge, otherwise he wouldn't be able to get out easily.
Looking closer, he found that there were some wonderful little things in many places in the office.
The company's printers were replaced with new ones, everyone's notebooks were replaced with new ones, and even the gel pens were replaced with new ones.
Sanmao even has its own toy. The beautiful cardboard box can just fit its liquid body so that it can lie down in it safely.
Just seeing these items, Huang Ping felt bad.
Just a lounge is already so dangerous, who knows what kind of traps are hidden in other things.
Boss, do you really not want us to work?
But I, Huang Ping, have gained my reputation in vain!
Let me show you the determination of my social animal!
Ten minutes later, Huang Ping, who was lying on the lazy sofa, felt that this place was really comfortable.
This comfortable feeling took an hour to dissipate.
After coming out, Huang Ping moved his muscles and bones, feeling comfortable all over and walking with more energy. With a new feeling, he began to work seriously, and then found that his efficiency had been greatly improved.
When he got off work, Huang Ping reflected on this feeling and found that he never seemed to know how to rest before, so he just let himself lie down.
Taking out his mobile phone, he decided to customize a lounge of the same style online so that he and his fiancée could have a good rest.
While Huang Ping was searching in vain for the lazy sofa, new items were constantly being produced in the laboratory, and new item illustrations were being expanded every day.
Because the items are random, players are full of curiosity about what items may be produced. How to analyze and try the uses of these items is the most interesting gameplay of "Lab".
Compared with previous games, this gameplay is not intense, and there is no fierce confrontation. All players can do is invest in materials, obtain output, and then discover the use of the items bit by bit.
If you can't catch that point, it will be boring to play.
However, once you resonate with the ever-changing items in the game, you will look forward to seeing these novel items, and analyze the actual uses, abnormal performance, etc. of the items through various methods, and then classify the items and put them on the website Share it with others.
I thought the gameplay of this game was that simple, but suddenly one day, a player shared a screenshot of an item on the website.
At first glance, this screenshot looks ordinary. It is just a photo enlarged with a ruler.
But when others enlarged the ruler, the players were surprised to find that there was a line of text printed in very small handwriting on the ruler.
The text has been translated into Chinese, and after fuzzy recognition, the players discovered that the content of this line is: [Today is another day when I want to beat my superiors. 】
When the first line of text was discovered, players began to pay attention.
In addition to regular inspection of each item, text inspection has also become a part of it. Through testing, players found that many items actually had this kind of text on them, but they just missed it.
[If it takes more than fifteen seconds to replenish energy, money will be deducted. What a weird rule this is. ]
[I'm so tired, but there are still a lot of items to be processed, and I have to work overtime again today. ]
[I shouldn't have applied for the article manufacturing department in the first place, but this line of work seems to be quite easy to find a job. 】
【New rules and regulations appeared, and the idea of killing the superiors became stronger. ]
[Why do I process these materials every day? 】
【It's really embarrassing to be rated as a factory flower again. 】
Collecting these words, the image of a factory working girl appears in front of the players, making them seem to see a lazy factory manager working hard.
Some people even input a rough image into the AI, and the resulting image of the executive secretary was deeply satisfying to the players.
What you can’t see is often the best.
Players who like labs started to make crazy imaginations, and the image of the factory girl was solidified into a lazy beauty who dozed around the clock 24 hours a day, with long hair that looked a bit slovenly, but she looked beautiful when she tidied it up.
In the game inn, players even began to summarize quotes from factory girls, and the vivid language of part-time work made players endlessly happy.
Some of them even started to write fanfics, and they were pretty good. After reading them, people became more curious about the image of the factory girl, and wanted to know who the factory girl was.
Everyone understood the factory girl as an easter egg that Fang Cheng buried in "Lab", and when Fang Cheng saw such comments, he could only express helplessly that he really didn't have one.
I really don't know the factory girl or anything.
However, the player's reasoning confirmed the hexagram he had calculated on a whim before. Someone on the opposite side was indeed making items, and these items were definitely related to the Far Traveler.
The presence on the other side aroused Fang Cheng's curiosity, but before he could make further arrangements, the players suddenly discovered that the slide rail seemed to be closed.
No matter how much goods are put in, the progress bar on the slide rail will not change at all. These items will appear intact in the white hole, making the player feel that something bad has happened to the factory girl opposite.
Some people interpret this incident as Fangcheng is experimenting with new narrative techniques.
In their understanding, Fang Cheng created an approachable image through a few words, and then interrupted his communication with the players through some kind of accident. Later, the dilemma of the factory girl caused players' uneasiness, and it seemed logical that new game content would appear.
So, Fangcheng Studio, when will your new game be released?
We have helped you lay the groundwork to this point, how can you be worthy of us if you don’t come up with some new games?
Just when the players were anxiously discussing what happened to the factory girl, new items were finally delivered.
The item this time is an alarm clock.
It looks like an ordinary astronaut alarm clock. The doll wearing a bulky astronaut suit is holding the clock and sitting there blankly.
But unlike ordinary alarm clocks, this alarm clock does not use batteries, but needs to be wound.
And it doesn’t have a time adjustment function. It seems that after it is turned on, it can only keep going according to the current time.
When I got the alarm clock, some of its spring was left, the seconds on it rotated counterclockwise, and the minute and hour hands also moved backwards.
But after spinning for a while, the alarm clock stopped moving.
In an inconspicuous position on the side of the alarm clock, the factory girl's handwriting appeared there: [Don't use it, don't wind it, I'm sorry. 】
An ominous feeling came immediately. The player who got the alarm clock broadcast the incident live on the game inn, and then used all his strength to wind it up during the live broadcast.
If you don't die as a player, can you still be a player?
Because it cannot adjust the time, it can only leave the alarm clock in place. A group of squirrels surround the alarm clock eagerly, and hundreds of thousands of viewers are waiting in the live broadcast room to see what the final countdown of the alarm clock will be like.
Thus, a very boring but extremely popular live broadcast began.
There is nothing else in this live broadcast room. It is just to watch the alarm clock spin backwards. Hundreds of squirrel players are watching the alarm clock. When they see that the second hand has stopped moving, they wind it up to keep it moving.
Beyond that, there is nothing.
However, the audience is very loyal. They just watch the alarm clock in front of them and look forward to what will happen after it completes a circle.
After waiting slowly for a day, the hour hand of the alarm clock finally went through a circle.
The players held their breath and concentrated. The popularity of the live broadcast room reached its peak at this moment. Everyone was looking forward to what would happen, but nothing happened.
Only the alarm clock disappeared in an instant, leaving everyone disappointed.
Except Fangcheng.
