"The human race has given more intelligence and emotion to machines in a godlike fashion with the ongoing growth of science and technology, but have you noticed that the emotion of human beings in themselves is constantly lacking."
Han Fei and Huang Ying were walking through the historic alleyways of the old city while wearing virtual reality glasses, and they were surrounded by kids playing nearby who had the sweetest smiles on their faces.
" In terms of what I witnessed and experienced, most of the people who live in this intelligent city are glamorous and smiley on the surface, but in fact, they are under great pressure to run around all day long on various business occasions, and the so-called social gatherings are just a show, everyone looks friendly and courteous, but in fact, they are cold and tranquil inside. "
" We are constantly genetically deciphered, our information is collected and summarized, and each of our out-of-the-ordinary behavior has a record in the Citizen Database System. Little by little, our lives, our emotions, our natures, tend to be in a format where it's not like we're living our own lives, but more like repeating the same day until we die."
After communicating thoroughly, Han Fei realized that Huang Ying was a very powerful person, or at least what the other party said made it seem very powerful.
"It's a terrible thing for humans to evolve from animals and gradually become like machinery inside. And that's exactly why I really like this intergenerational game called Perfect Life."
Walking on the paving slabs, looking at the moss on the roadside, smelling the faint fragrance after the rain, Huang Ying opened his arms: "This game is helping us to recover our missing emotions and heal the wounds of our souls, where we can relive our forgotten good memories, and where we can clearly feel our existence."
"Is that so?" Han Fei thought of himself playing the game and tears almost came to his eyes without straining.
"Yes." Huang Win said with certainty.
"This experiential version feels extraordinary when playing, I don't know how powerful the official version will be." Han Fei removed the virtual reality glasses, and the ancient alley, and fine rain all disappeared, he was standing in a box with Huang Ying.
"The official version will definitely surpass your imagination, this is a game that makes people's dreams come true, this game is really just like its name, it will give you a perfect life!" Huang Ying said with great emotion.
" From your tone, why do I feel as if you have played the official version?" Han Fei's expression was a bit surprised.
" By your observation, I am actually a specially invited tester for the sixth internal test of Perfect Life."
Han Fei recalled the information he had researched on the internet, the internal test players of the game Perfect Life were roughly divided into four categories: the first was the internal staff of the game, who would first enter the game for a thorough experience during each test.
The second is the supervisory staff of relevant government departments. As a cross-generational deep and immersive game, Perfect Life incorporates the most advanced science and technology and countless crazy ideas, which the government also attaches great importance to.
The third is the invited testers like Huang Ying, who are often professionals in a certain industry and field. They will play the game from their professional point of view and propose their own modifications to make this game more realistic and interesting.
The fourth category is the public players, who get the qualification of internal testing through various channels.
Some of these people are bonafide players who simply want to experience the game, while others are game studios that earn money from the game and want to get first-hand information to be prepared for the public beta.
" If you can be a specially invited tester, then you must surely be a big shot in reality too!" Han Fei was now sure that the Huang Ying in front of him was the Huang Ying he met last night, and his previous guess was correct.
"I don't dare to call myself a big shot, I'm just more famous in the industry." Huang Ying was very humble and did not have any attitude, he very patiently led Han Fei to visit the game exhibition area and kept bragging about the game Perfect Life, feeling more dedicated than the salesman of the game company.
"You said Perfect Life can make everyone's dreams come true, so if I am an ultimate horror movie lover, can I immerse myself in the game to experience a horror movie." After identifying the person, Han Fei began to test the waters.
"Of course, you can, the game has a special night amusement park, that is prepared for horror lovers, which has a variety of exciting facilities and the plot of the movie recreation. You can even choose to work at the night amusement parks and try to trigger the chance to become the owner of the park's life." Huang Ying seriously began to advise: "But you have to pay attention to one thing, the game has a mental threshold of this set, where once it exceeds ten, you will be judged by the system to be strongly affected by excitement, and then be forced to disconnect."
" More than ten will be forced to disconnect?" Han Fei's eyelids twitched, and his mental threshold in the game was set at 100, as high as his life value!
"Forced disconnection too many times, your game character may die, perfect life of this game life is very fragile, and you only have one life, after death, all data is cleared to zero, and everything will start from scratch." Huang Ying said with deep feelings, "Death is very painful, we must cherish life."
"I personally have seen a lot of horror films, the movie plot does not feel much, but rather the reality of certain and ghost-related bizarre events are more creepy to me." Han Fei approached the question he wanted to ask step by step: "Do you think there will be such a plot as paranormal and strange stories in Perfect Life?"
" Before the second test, I think that there was, I heard that at that time there was not much restriction, at that time players attacked NPCs without any punishment, one tester even massacred a neighborhood, he was finally locked up because of his mental disorder."
"That wild?"
"What do you think? When humanity loses its restraint, people will turn into the most terrible beasts." Huang Ying seemed to remember some of the rumors at that time: "Because of that tester, Perfect Life added a lot of restrictions and cut off nearly a third of the plot. Until the sixth internal test, basically, all the plots that tend to raise moral and ethical issues have been removed, even the black box that was mentioned in the late founder's will have been deleted."
" The black box mentioned in the will of the founder?"
"Don't you know? This thing is very famous in the game circle." Huang Ying lowered his voice: "The chairman of Immortal Pharmaceuticals died due to illness after the first internal test of Perfect Life, and in his will, he explained that his children had to search for a black box, and he said that box was filled with the regrets, resentment, hatred, misfortune, and malice in the human world, and he also gave three hints, saying that the box was in the deepest part of the world, the deepest part of the mind, and the deepest part of the human heart."
"Did someone find the box later?" Han Fei wiped the cold sweat on his forehead without a trace.
"No, people interpreted it in various ways, and finally suspected that the box was actually an element of the game, which should contain the old man's thoughts. The testers at that time were looking for the egg in the game like crazy, but no one found it. Until the third test, for some reason, the old man's initial involvement in the design of the entire plot was deleted, and the black box could never be found." Huang Ying spoke with a hint of regret: "In my lifetime, I really want to know what that black box really is."
"Yeah, I'd like to know too." Han Fei touched the back of his head, and his expression was very calm.
