What we expect from OE (Part 3)
"Unnamed Adventure" is a pixel-style game produced by Sbxsxue678 that includes various elements such as farming, breeding, building houses, fighting monsters, going to school, and NPC socializing.
Plot summary: Legend has it that monsters were rampant millions of years ago, and the biggest culprit was the evil dragon in the monster castle. The evil dragon attempted to control the human world, causing turmoil in human life and people's livelihood was in dire straits. Countless warriors fought against monsters, and finally just to strangle the evil dragon, but the strength gap was huge. Finally, a brave man named "Znar" appeared, defeated the evil dragon, and saved the world.
But there is a prophecy that every hundred years, disaster will come again and the evil dragon will reappear. The hero cannot live forever, but his bloodline will last forever. Human beings have never stopped looking for heroes with true bloodline. The chosen heroes are named "Znar". Once people with the bloodline of heroes appear, they will embark on the road to slay the dragon. When they return victoriously, they will be honored and the world will be at peace.
But a million years later, no one on the world continent has ever seen dragons. The evil dragon and the brave warrior have become an ancient legend. With the development of the times, monsters have also gained intelligence. Now humans and monsters have reached a delicate balance and live in the same world. Humans have established the "Brave Day". Testing the brave warrior's bloodline during this festival is more like a festival ritual. On the same day, the monster society also established the "Dragon Day". Although there are no real dragons, they will still select variants of suspected dragons as "evil dragons".
Then, in the "Dragon Quest Festival", they put the selected "heroes" and "dragons" together, let the "heroes" and "dragons" stage a evenly matched battle, which ends in a draw, and then humans and monsters live in peace for the next hundred years.
It sounds like playing house, but it's just that casual.
At the beginning of the game story, the character controlled by the player is selected as a hero. There is still one day before the "Dragon Quest" festival. In order to ensure the harmony of the acting, the player controls the "hero" to meet with the selected "dragon" in advance to cultivate each other's acting skills.
In the eyes of players, the character of "evil dragon" is indeed a Q version of a Western dragon, but it is very small. People with larger hands can hold it in one hand. It is like a mascot and very elastic. Although this monster belongs to the dragon family, it is called a mini dragon and is not to be feared, because they will only be that big in their lifetime, and their strength is ordinary. At most, they can be used to light candles.
In an era where humans and monsters coexist peacefully, Dratini is considered a household pet. Dratini loves jewelry and gold coins, and loves to collect and eat. He is a real foodie. Generally, if a family has too much money and doesn't know where to spend it, they will buy one to bring home and cause trouble.
But this is a game for the rich. Raising a mini dragon is too expensive and not many people can afford it. In addition, the mini dragon's survival ability is average, so it has become a semi-rare species (most of them starve to death).
The "evil dragon" that the player encounters is an orange-yellow mini dragon named Sasa. It has a small round belly, short arms and legs, very small wings, and can't fly high. It is a complete loser in combat and is as powerful as the "brave" controlled by the player.
All the player has to do at the beginning is to train the hero to an average index of 10, cook a meal for Sasalong, and then have a training session with Sasalong.
A day later, a man and a dragon took to the festival stage and had a fierce and evenly matched battle. The battle scene was so funny that it topped the list of the funniest "Dragon Quest" festivals in the past ten years.
After the war, the game officially begins. The retired "hero" returns tiredly to his novice village. As soon as he enters the house, there is a knock on the door. The "evil dragon" knocks on the "hero's" door, hoping to be taken in.
The evil dragon was really hungry and was about to starve to death, so he became dependent on the "brave man" who had cooked for him. As the brave man's cooking was so delicious, he became completely dependent on him. The "brave man" felt sorry for him and couldn't drive him away, so he let Sasa dragon stay.
But Long eats too much, so the retired hero has to work harder and take Sasa with him to work.
The game mainly relies on farming and selling vegetables or cooking and selling them, or joining a guild to fight monsters to make money, improve combat power and experience points. The overall game has a casual abstract style, and the map is very large. When the money in the area reaches a certain index and Sasa says he is tired of eating, the player can go to the next map, where he can make money to build a house and continue farming, fight new monsters, make new meals for Sasa and meet new NPCs.
The reason why this game is so popular is that the NPCs in this pixel-style game are AI dialogues. Every chat brings a new experience. The NPCs also have side quests. You can become friends by completing the quests. They will send greetings and gifts every day. After the player leaves the area, they will receive letters from the NPCs in the next area, conveying their thoughts and blessings.
But as the game map expands and time goes by, players will learn in their daily social interactions that a new mineral vein has appeared in the forest farthest from the town and the most dangerous. The resources are so rich that humans and monsters have started a war again, and the so-called peace has been broken once again.
In order to seize this resource that could bring prosperity for a hundred years, monsters began to use taboos to summon true disasters, and humans also began to summon the true bloodline of heroes.
It was a peaceful day when the retired "brave man" and the greedy "dragon" were summoned and separated. They were forced to separate and fight, and finally the "brave man" was forced to embark on the journey of slaying the dragon.
In the screen, the player controls the hero to confront Sasa Dragon. However, Sasa Dragon, which has been awakened and has become huge, has lost its mind. At this time, the player has the options of "fight" or "don't fight", but to achieve the true ending, he can only fight. During the battle, when the dragon is beaten to the last drop of blood, its blood will be locked, and the hero will be exhausted and unconscious.
When the hero opened his eyes again, he saw the real "Znar", who asked the player to make a choice, choosing between "slaying the dragon" or "giving up".
After confirming the "Dragon Slaying" option 8 times in a row, the player will be given the true power of a hero. After successfully slaying the dragon, he will become a true hero and be honored.
Click the "Give Up" option once, and Znar will disappear. The hero will put down his sword and bravely face death. Before he dies, he will take out the last food that the player has fed to the Sasa dragon. The dragon will open its mouth, and everything will go dark before the hero's eyes.
When the player opened his eyes again, he found himself back at home in the Novice Village, and there was a knock on the door.
Everything seemed to return to the beginning of the story, but who was outside the door? The brave man stepped forward.
End of story.
Achieve the ending oe [The Future Before Us].
After reading the story, Z01 asked, “Why do you also like to write stories with bad endings?”
Jiang Yuanshi said silently: "...Because I was about to die at that time, this was the only ending that came to my mind. And this can't be considered a bad ending, right?"
Z01: "Did you intend to die twice?"
Jiang Yuanshi answered honestly, "Not really. Originally, this was a single-player game. In this setting, it's either life or death. I felt both endings were fine, so after much hesitation, I decided to write an open ending. But if you don't want to follow the storyline, you can just keep farming and adventuring. You don't have to follow the main storyline. I thought this would reduce resentment, but it seems I didn't think enough."
Z01: "Rather than saying your ending is regrettable, it's more like a bittersweet feeling. After all, most players who developed a relationship with Sasa still hope for a true happy ending. By the way, your targets for this quest are Znar and Sasa."
Jiang Yuanshi frowned, as if he didn't understand, but repeated: "Znar?"
Z01 nodded. "Because the hero has his own personality in the setting, and Sasa's distinct personality is very compatible with the hero, everyone produced fan fiction about Znar and Sasa."
Jiang Yuanshi frowned, feeling that he could hardly understand Chinese.
He sighed: "I told you they are just brothers."
Z01 said unmoved, "Yes, but the brotherhood in fan fiction has changed."
"So it's the world you created that's the problem. Why add all this stuff? If it's to allow the host to create a happy ending, I can understand it, but what does it have to do with homosexuality?"
"You'll have to ask the Lord God about this. The current analysis and settlement has concluded that you're still trapped. They chose the game you created in an attempt to keep you and prevent you from completing your mission, so they forced you in."
Jiang Yuanshi tried to rub his head, but couldn't move it, so he said, "So what is my mission?"
Z01 replied: "Sorry, no mission."
Jiang Yuanshi was puzzled: "What do you mean by no mission?"
At this time, a prompt sound sounds:
[Host Mission: None (Please Feel Free to Play)]
"..." Jiang Yuanshi felt very tired, "Sometimes self-written questions are more terrifying than anything else."
But these are not the key points at the moment. The key point is why Jiang Yuanshi still sees black in front of his eyes.
Jiang Yuanshi tried to struggle, but he always felt that he was being held down by something and couldn't move, and it smelled... so good?
Jiang Yuanshi said, "Z01, do you know where I am?"
Z01: "I know."
"Then where am I?"
"In front of me."
Jiang Yuanshi:?
What's the meaning?
Just when Jiang Yuanshi was confused, he felt his butt being poked. He was a little angry: "No, why are you poking my butt?"
Z01: "Sorry, I didn't know it was your butt."
Jiang Yuanshi was speechless: "Can't you recognize the butt?"
Z01: "Sorry, I can't because your butt is pointy in the front."
???
"Yeah, it's the tail."
"What?"
"You may have forgotten that your role is the dragon."
"..." Jiang Yuanshi suddenly realized, "Then why can't I move?"
"Because you are now buried in a pile of gold coins, with only your butt and tail exposed."
"Oh, I see." Jiang Yuanshi said, and suddenly felt something was wrong. "Wait, if you can poke me, then shouldn't you be here? You know I'm in here, but you're still talking to my ass?"
Z01: "I thought you could come out on your own, but you didn't want to, so I didn't do it. So, do you need help now?"
"Of course, pull me out!"
Z01 looked at the little tail dangling in the pile of gold coins and asked again, "Are you sure?"
"What else? What do you want to do?"
"Before I pull you out, can you answer a question for me?"
"...You say." The guy who took advantage of the situation.
"Why did you enter the new world so quickly after the Lord God left?"
"Pull me out first, and I'll tell you if it's okay." Jiang Yuanshi tried to bargain, shouting, "I'm going to be crushed to death."
"All right."
Jiang Yuanshi felt his body being wrapped by warm palms, and then it was pulled out with a "pop". The pile of gold coins made a rustling sound, and some gold coins hit Jiang Yuanshi's head, "Ouch!"
Jiang Yuanshi wanted to touch his head, but found that he couldn't. He rubbed his eyes and looked at his hands... his claws were so short.
Still looks like a sticker.
Jiang Yuanshi raised his head and saw a pixelated face with black hair, black-red eyes and an expressionless face. "Brave Z01" was written on the face.
The two vertical lines in the pixelated man's eyes perfectly reflected Z01's facial paralysis. When Jiang Yuanshi entered the game for the first time, he curiously reached out and pulled the other person's face, stretching the black frame around the face by two more pixels.
He let out a "Wow!", it turns out that the game world can also feel like something you can touch.
Z01 looked at the curious little pixel dragon expressionlessly and said silently, "So, can you answer me?"
The pixel dragon looked at the other party quietly for a few times, blinked its pixel eyes, and flew away from Z01's hand without noticing.
Very elastic and smooth feel.
Z01 glanced at his empty hands.
Jiang Yuanshi flapped his wings hard and flew forward. He was flying vigorously when he was suddenly stopped.
The back of his neck was pinched, and he turned his head and said, "Why are you running so fast?"
Z01 replied, "I didn't move."
?
Jiang Yuanshi looked at Z01, then looked at the location of the pile of gold coins, and then he reacted.
It took him a long time to fly out of Z01 by an arm's length.
What an outrageous speed.
But before Jiang Yuanshi could complain, Z01 spoke again, "You ran away again and haven't answered my question yet."
Jiang Yuanshi, whose fate was strangled by the neck: (
