The sudden car accident made the finale unexpected.

Xu Jing just got off the bus, and before she could even see the world clearly, she felt dizzy. When she woke up again, she was already in the hospital with a plaster on her leg.

Lines of writing appeared in her field of vision.

[Unexpected ending: car accident]

[There are thousands of roads, and safety is the first priority. When you come to a big city from the countryside, you don’t know much about the traffic rules here, and your leg is broken by a car speeding on the road.]

[Although the car owner paid the medical expenses, you needed someone to take care of you when you were hospitalized, so you had to notify your parents in the countryside. Your parents were determined to take you back to your hometown in the countryside, and your dream of taking root in a big city through hard work and wisdom was shattered. 】

This is the ending scene in the game, a bit like some PC games that use static or dynamic pictures as the ending screen, but in VR mode, it becomes three-dimensional.

Xu Jing was a little crazy: "Is this okay? Who would have thought that it would end immediately after being hit by a car!"

As a game veteran, she was a little embarrassed to overturn so easily.

This cannot be entirely her fault, mainly because the design logic of the game "Ordinary Life" is different from other VR games.

Although other VR games also strive to show reality, they do not set up such a high punishment mechanism. For example, even if the player is hit by a car, it will only hurt for a while, and then he can quickly return to normal through breathing to restore blood.

But "Ordinary Life" is obviously not this kind of design idea. It doesn't care about the high or low punishment mechanism, it only cares about whether it is consistent with reality.

In other words, it is replacing "game intuition" with "reality intuition".

Xu Jing learned from the experience and started a new game.

This time she learned the lesson wisely. After getting off the bus, she left the bus stop and immediately came to a safe area on the side of the road.

Sure enough, he wasn't hit by a car again.

"So what do I do now?"

Xu Jing was a little confused. She looked around. Pedestrians were coming and going, and the small shops on the roadside were also operating normally. Everything looked the same as in real life.

Especially the north gate of Jinghai University is a 1:1 replica of reality.

As a student of Jinghai University, Xu Jing was very familiar with this place, so she was a little unconscious at this time, feeling like she was in a dream.

Just when she felt confused, her cell phone rang.

I took out my phone and took a look, and found that the "Personal Profile" app had an eye-catching red dot prompt.

Xu Jing immediately clicked in and saw that her default profile, height, weight, and appearance were all consistent with the information she had reserved in the VR background.

After the popularization of the fifth-generation VR helmet, the role-playing rules for VR games have been thoroughly refined and finalized.

Among several basic attributes, gender attributes must strictly correspond to reality and cannot be changed.

This is because if consciousness-linked VR technology allows players to choose their own gender, there is a risk of confusing players’ self-identity, so it is currently banned.

The player's age attribute basically changes with the game settings. Whether the player can change it depends on whether the game mechanism supports it.

In addition, players can edit and decide attributes such as height, weight, and appearance in the background.

If the player is dissatisfied with his attributes in this area and wants to make himself taller, thinner, and better-looking, he can make adjustments freely, but there are certain limits.

When entering a new game, the game will call background data by default.

At this time, Xu Jing's personal profile photo in the game shows her appearance set in the background: it is similar to her in reality, but with a simple face-slimming effect.

In addition, some basic attributes are also stated in the file, such as strength, endurance, concentration, understanding, etc. These basic values ​​will affect the character's work ability and learning efficiency, and can be improved through specific means.

More importantly, in the personal profile, you can also choose your initial identity and game difficulty.

There are currently two identities to choose from, namely [worker] and [college student]. There is also a hidden identity, but the activation conditions are very strict: you need to use these two identities to pass the "real difficulty" level before you can activate it.

From an attribute point of view, the physical and mental qualities of workers are better, but their understanding is poorer, which means they learn things more slowly, and they are unable to engage in some scenes and activities exclusive to college students, such as eating, lodging or organizing activities in school.

Party etc.

Although college students can have exclusive activities, are highly savvy, and learn things quickly, their physical and mental qualities are poor, and their daily free time is much less than that of part-time workers, because they have to attend classes, study, and ensure that they can graduate successfully.

.

As for difficulty:

"Game difficulty" is the simplest. Various attributes including hunger decrease very slowly. Players will not starve to death even if they eat twice in three days, and they will have no problem sleeping on the street every night.

"Simulation difficulty" is normal difficulty, and various requirements have been significantly improved compared to the game difficulty. For example, hunger, cleanliness, psychological pressure, work skill requirements, learning skill speed, etc., have all changed significantly.

"Real difficulty" is the highest difficulty, which is basically consistent with reality.

Take the "hunger" attribute as an example. Players must eat at least three meals a day. Moreover, if they are engaged in heavy physical labor, they also need to eat some heavy oil, salt, and nutritious food. Otherwise, the hunger level cannot be withheld and health will be compromised.

The temperature will also drop rapidly.

Xu Jing thought for a moment: "Then choose to be a worker, the real difficulty level!

"I have already experienced the life of a college student, but I have never experienced the life of a worker.

"What? You said that if I choose the highest difficulty, I will be defeated? No, since it is called 'real difficulty', it must reflect the reality. I want to prove to you that the anchor is by no means an internet addicted girl who has nothing to do but study.

I am the chosen worker who can support myself!"

Xu Jing started the game with confidence.

…

Soon, Xu Jing figured out the general gameplay of this game while stumbling.

Regardless of this exquisite shell, its inner gameplay is actually a classic survival game: always pay attention to your own status, and then collect as many resources as possible.

Find something to eat when you are hungry, find a place to rest when you are tired, work to make money, then improve your living standards, learn skills, and work to make more money, until you reach a certain level of clearance in the game.

But this does not mean that the gameplay of the game is monotonous, on the contrary, its gameplay is unexpectedly rich!

If you start as a student, the player can report directly to the school and be assigned a dormitory. In this way, you can at least find a place to live for yourself, the food in the cafeteria is relatively cheap, and the cost of living is greatly reduced.

But Xu Jing started out as a worker and only had a few hundred dollars with her, so she had to find a job as soon as possible.

There are various recruitment and job hunting information on the mobile APP, but there are also fake news.

There are common real-life scams such as "typist earning over 10,000 yuan a month" and "high-paying overseas job". Xu Jing tried it. The former was directly defrauded of the deposit, while the latter directly triggered the ending of "overseas fraudsters who had their waist cut off."

”.

After being dominated by the barrage and making several attempts to commit suicide, Xu Jing finally roughly defined what she could do currently.

The non-threshold jobs in this game mainly include: moving bricks, takeout, express delivery, intermediary, factory entry, security, stall setting, etc.

Although there is no threshold, there are obvious differences between these jobs.

For example, they have different requirements for attributes. Moving bricks and express delivery require a lot of physical strength, while intermediaries require a certain level of eloquence. Entering a factory seems to have very low requirements, but it will accumulate a lot of mental stress and you will not be able to obtain any skill points at all.

promote.

Their initial investment and specific benefits are also different. Work such as moving bricks and entering the factory does not require any initial investment. To deliver food, you have to spend money to rent a car or buy an insulated box for the food delivery platform. But if you are skilled

If you work, you can earn more money by delivering food.

In addition, players currently have different skills, and the income they can get from these jobs is also different. For example, as long as the player learns the basic skill of military boxing, it will be easier to succeed in applying for a security guard job, and the basic salary will be higher.

Of course, after mastering relevant skills and acquiring a certain amount of capital, players can also try some more advanced jobs, such as applying for a job as a chef in a restaurant, working as a shopping guide in a shopping mall, working as an online ride-hailing driver, etc.

These are all ways for players to make money. In addition, there are many other entertainment methods in the game.

For example, players can play chess on the street, go to Internet cafes to play games, play balloons and hoops in the park, and use fitness equipment to exercise...

In short, this game is simply all-inclusive, and almost all the materials that can be drawn from reality are included!
