Chapter 318 What Year Is Today?
As the last DLC, Chen Ba paid great attention to "The Death of Old Ox" and demanded perfection in every aspect.
only……
After all, "Study Simulator" is an old game that was released many years ago. When it was conceived and designed, not much room for expansion was left, so there is little room for DLC.
"In the plot, the protagonist was admitted to the best middle school in the county, but there was no mention of him being admitted to university."
Yang Dong suggested: "Can we add some content about the university in the game?"
Since the DLC "Death of Old Ox" focuses on the story of the protagonist walking out of the mountains, there is a criterion for judgment.
What does it mean to walk out of the mountains? Yang Dong believes that if the protagonist can get into a key university in the country with excellent grades, then he has walked out of the mountains.
Chen Ba agreed with his statement.
The DLC can indeed start with the university, but the university content is not the main content of this DLC.
More importantly, the story is about the protagonist graduating from college, entering society, working hard and settling down in a city far away from his hometown.
"The focus is on depicting the protagonist's change of mentality!"
Chen Ba wrote a line of words on the whiteboard, then tapped the whiteboard to explain: "Why is the DLC called "Death of the Old Ox"? In a sense, the old ox refers to the protagonist himself."
Through this DLC, Chen Ba wants to present the protagonist's thoughts when he was young, as well as his conflicting thoughts when he is old.
Because of his childhood experiences, the young protagonist only wanted to escape from the depths of the mountains and do everything he could to settle down in a big city far away from the mountains.
For him at this period, the old ox meant a past that he could not bear to look back on. He did not want to go back to the depths of the mountains, so he had a reason to study and work hard.
And when he finally achieved all this, successfully got rid of the old ox that had been haunting him in his dreams for many years, and had a place in the strange city, his hair also turned a little gray.
For the protagonist of this period, all the wishes he made when he was young have come true.
But he was not happy.
He couldn't find a reason, but he just felt that something was missing in his heart. After decades of hard work, he actually began to yearn for an ordinary life.
So he returned to the depths of the mountains, staring blankly at the cowshed overgrown with weeds, the dilapidated old house and his parents' graves, and sat quietly for a long time.
"He gave up the fruits of his life's hard work, a large, luxuriously decorated city flat, and moved back to his abandoned home after decades. He also went to the next village and bought a small yellow cow that was not even as tall as a coffee table..."
Chen Ba said with emotion: "Perhaps at this moment, he finally understood that his behavior of struggling for half his life just to buy a bird cage in the city is actually no different from an old ox working hard just for a meal, right?"
After all.
It’s really hard to say who is the workhorse!
The old ox living in the cowshed has a hard time plowing the fields, but every day there is a "nanny" like the protagonist who takes care of it, mowing grass for it, bathing it, repelling mosquitoes, playing with it, and taking it for a walk...
What about the protagonist, the old ox?
The title of the DLC is "Death of Old Ox" which actually wants to express this meaning. The protagonist longs to leave the mountains, but returns to the mountains in his old age. His whole life is exactly the same as the old ox he took care of back then.
"That's true!"
Yang Dong smiled bitterly and said, "Not only the protagonist is like that old ox, but you and I are also alike."
"Maybe."
Chen Ba is not as sentimental as Dong Ge. He is quite open-minded about the fact that he lives like a workhorse.
After all, even if he is just an old ox, he is still a representative of the scalpers who are doing relatively well. In today's world where "everyone is an ox or a horse", this is something to be thankful for.
Being an ox or a horse is not scary. What is scary is not having the awareness of being an ox or a horse, and not realizing the misery of oxen and horses.
The protagonist of "Hard Study Simulator" did walk out of the mountains through his own efforts and realized his childhood dream, but he also became an old ox and became a new generation of "ox-horse".
He finally returned to the mountains, raised a little yellow cow, and walked to the end of his life in peace. In fact, he was redeemed.
certainly!
Everyone looks at things from a different perspective, so Chen Ba doesn’t think that the protagonist’s life experience will touch all players.
After all, people are different. Some are born to be cattle and horses, while others are born in Rome! The DLC "Death of the Old Ox" is free of charge and is given to all "Study Simulator" players completely free of charge. This is also the last benefit that Chen Ba gives to the players.
For him.
There are only a few players left in "Study Simulator", so how much can the DLC cost even if it is charged?
Chen Ba really doesn't care about this tiny thing. In that case, he might as well give it away for free and give everyone a surprise in the end!
…
Chen Ba wanted to give a surprise to the players who have persisted in playing "Study Simulator" until today, but what he didn't expect was that the players gave him a surprise first.
To be precise, this is a shock! The originally cold "Study Simulator" actually showed a brief sign of recovery after he released the news of the new DLC.
The [Cattle Breeding] section, which had barely had a single new post the day before, has suddenly become popular again. You can see more than a dozen new posts by simply refreshing the page.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
This isn’t the most outrageous thing…
The most outrageous thing was the resurgence of the "Cowherding Cult"! No one would have thought that the Cowherding Cult, which he had judged to be falling apart and not worth worrying about, would still have such a terrifying influence and cohesion many years later.
What is going on? Did he travel through time? All the major Internet communities have cowherds who are jumping their faces to recommend "Han Chuang Ku Du Simulator". What year is it now? I just randomly watched a short video of a female anchor dancing, and the most liked comment in the comment area was: I feel not as good as... the old yellow cow's tail swing is sexy! "Yellow cow photo.JPG"
Looking at his ID again, it was the Niu Bie Taoist priest, OK, everything made sense! The female anchor broke down in the comment area and cursed, "Get away from me, you idiot! How dare you compare a fairy like me with a yellow cow? What kind of psychopath is this?"
Chen Ba was speechless.
It's obvious that this female anchor has never experienced the period when the Cowherd Cult was at its most rampant, and her psychological endurance is too weak.
You have to know that during the period when the Cow-Fanging Cult was at its most rampant and arrogant, their presence could be seen everywhere on the Internet, and they were spewing all kinds of slander and black talk, fearing that others would not give bad reviews to "Han Chuang Ku Du Simulator".
A "Three Kingdoms" player and a "Study Simulator" player, you can always find them in all kinds of strange corners.
Even when sharing seed license plates on the Xixi forum, there were followers of the Cowherd Cult spreading the "doctrine" here, which was simply speechless.
But that was all in the past.
As the popularity of "Study Simulator" fades, the number of game players has been decreasing, and the Cowherd Sect has long lost its former glory, and it no longer has the negative physique that made it "popular on the Internet".
I never expected this!
After many years, Chen Ba once again witnessed the Cowherding Cult wreaking havoc on the entire Internet.
no……
How can this group of sad people have such tenacious vitality? He didn't travel through time and space and be reborn, so why is there still the Cowherd Cult making trouble these days? Come on! Originally, "Han Chuang Ku Du Simulator" had already received "a lot of bad reviews". In the years when the Cowherd Cult was silent, it finally reversed its reputation a little bit, but now the Cowherd Cult is here again?
Chen Ba’s eyes went dark.
Originally, he was thinking that this wave of DLC releases would get some good reviews, but now, let alone good reviews, it would be a rare thing for "Study Simulator" not to be criticized and become a hot topic.
What kind of grudge is that?
This game is almost dead, can't you let it rest in peace? How can it release DLC after all this? Clicking on the back page of "Han Chuang Ku Du Simulator", I saw that there were 137 new negative reviews in the first hour. Chen Ba lived in Bengbu.
Good, good, good! This is how you attract traffic to the game, right? Damn it! His crackdown on the Cowherd Cult was not severe enough. They were able to win the resurrection match. It seems that he needs to increase his efforts and do another cattle disaster prevention!
