976 Frankenstein Comes to Battle
?A lightning fell on the sea, and the fleeting light shone on the dark sea around the pirate ship. The outline of the enemy ship flashed through Lin Chi's eyes.
Judging from the four ship shadows I just saw, the Spanish naval warship mentioned by the captain should be the pirate ship that had surrounded them.
Although he had complaints about the "over-realistic design" of this VR game, Lin Chi quickly got into the state and asked loudly: "Is there anyone else? Come and help!"
Through the picture I just saw, the fire can hit a Spanish warship on the side. If you don’t seize this opportunity, you may never have another chance.
"You guys, come over quickly!" the captain began to roar.
Several ragged pirates came to Lin Chi and began to load shells into the cannons next to them in the heavy rain. Lin Chi also picked up a shell again and prepared to stuff it behind the cannon barrel. At this moment—
Bang!
A deafening loud bang erupted from the hull in front of the hull. The deck under Lin Chi's feet trembled suddenly. Even with the blessing of the exoskeleton, he almost fell to the ground. An unlucky pirate's center of gravity was unstable, and he flew forward and fell into the sea with the shells in his hand.
"Stay!"
The captain's roar was overwhelmed by the noise of huge waves hitting the hull, and the pirate ship began to capsize rapidly. The deck that was originally "flat ground" turned directly into a slope. Lin Chi also relied on the power of the exoskeleton to barely stand firm, and the captain next to the mast was not so lucky.
“fuck…”
The girl who turned into a royal sister cursed and sweared invisibly, and her body was slapped on the mast like an octopus. The pirates on the deck who were already difficult to stand firm kept howling loudly, and their bodies slid down the smooth deck in the rain.
"I said, is there any way?" Lin Chi shouted to the captain.
"What's wrong? It shouldn't be so difficult!" The captain seemed confused: "It's usually a long time to hold on, why do you get into trouble when you come?"
"Don't tell me it's my fault-"
Before Lin Chi finished speaking, his eyes suddenly became dark, the picture on the VR display disappeared, and a line of red words popped up in two seconds:
game-over.
Still blind, he felt the "deck" under his feet begin to return to his original state, and the torrential rain hitting his body also disappeared. Lin Chi reached out to take off his helmet, but the last "wave" was stuck on his face...
"What's the matter?"
With the lights on his side, he looked at the spray heads around the game area, and then looked down at the "deck" that had been soaked under his feet. Even though he was protected by waterproof clothing, the "rain water" flowing in from the collar still made Lin Chi feel the pleasure of heart-warming.
"How is it okay? It seems that because of two players just now, the difficulty is automatically increased. It will be easier to play alone!" The captain who had just taken off his head-mounted display device and said enthusiastically, reaching out to tuck the wet hair that stuck to his forehead like noodles.
"After playing this, I finally understood the reason why the old VR game was eliminated." Lin Chi sighed.
——VR games using head-mounted display devices have limited realism after all, and it takes a certain amount of space to play. If you want to pursue the sense of reality, it is easy to become like "Storm Waves", making it a "real hardcore game" that ordinary players are very sad to pass.
What's more, a set of equipment for games like Jingtao Shark is not affordable to ordinary players. Apart from the rich people who have large game areas in their villas at home, it is almost impossible to play VR games to this level.
It is precisely in order to make players more convenient and quick to play realistic VR games that brain imaging games come into being, replacing old-fashioned VR devices.
But it has to be said that occasionally playing this kind of old game is a good experience. If you don’t have wet body, Lin Chi will score his inner score higher...
"Do you have a hair dryer or something?" Lin Chi touched his instant noodles-like hair style.
"It's broken." The captain shook his head: "You go there and have a rest. To express your apology, I will invite you today and play whatever you want!"
“…”
Looking at the girl who looked proud, Lin Chi sighed, took off her waterproof suit, sat on the bench in the corner of the game hall, and waited for her hair to "dry naturally", while bringing the headphones she had just taken off.
"Did you forget to take off your clothes in a bath?" Frankenstein's complaints came into his ears.
"Just played a game." Lin Chi lowered his head and watched the water dripping from his head fall on the floor at his feet.
After taking a dry towel handed by the girl, he wiped his hair. When the water flowing into his collar was almost "dried", Lin Chi looked at the drone that was still surrounded by the game hall and asked, "Come on?"
This time, Frankenstein did not answer his questions in his headphones, but instead directly used the loudspeaker installed on the drone to make a male voice:
"Wait a minute, I want to play the game."
"You are the paralyzed friend of k23, right? Can you play games with drones?" The captain stared at the drone floating in the air curiously.
"I can control the exoskeleton." Frankenstein said coldly.
"Oh, induction exoskeleton, I understand, I understand!" The captain slapped his head suddenly, then strode to Lin Chi, and stretched out his left hand to the "old salted fish" leaning on the chair:
"Take off your clothes quickly?"
"I don't like underage girls." Lin Chi joked casually.
"Your friend wants to play games with exoskeletons, hurry up!" the captain said angrily.
"Is there a locker room?" Lin Chi stood up and looked at the doors in the game hall. If he took off his clothes and was seen by others in front of this girl, he might be locked in jail.
"Go over there, go!" The girl pointed to a black door behind the right side of the counter.
Lin Chi walked into the narrow locker room, took off his wet clothes, and began to remove his exoskeleton. Because the space here was very small, his movements were also a little slow.
Since I was taking Frankenstein out to play, it would be okay to let it play games. But what Lin Chi cares more about now is another problem:
"The exoskeleton plays games remotely, and the girl may be suspicious." Lin Chi whispered.
In fact, in order to avoid buyers using this thing to steal banks, civilian exoskeletons do not support remote control operation functions in addition to their own power limit. If an unwound exoskeleton is seen by the media who are worried about the news, they may be titled "Civil Exoskeleton Hidden Killing Intentions".
"It's okay, I can pretend to be a housekeeping robot." Frankenstein replied.
"I don't mean that..." Lin Chi said weakly.
While he was speaking, he had taken off his exoskeleton, put the close-fitting "mecha" on the wall, and then connected the drone with the exoskeleton with the data cable.
Kick!
The joints of the exoskeleton made a crisp sound, and the headless metal skeleton began to slowly stand up. The drone connected to the data cable was still floating next to the interface at the back, making the picture look a bit weird.
"How do you feel?" Lin Chi asked.
"I have a body." Frankenstein's voice was still calm, but the tone of the upward sentence seemed to reveal a hint of joy.
For this "virus" that has been hiding in the Internet world, obtaining a body is undoubtedly a major event worth celebrating. Compared with the usual dance robots and small drones, the degree of restoration of the human body by exoskeletons has reached a new level.
Lin Chi knows that Frankenstein has been working towards the goal of "being human", and this exoskeleton is probably its first step on the human path. However, before that, there is one more thing that must be reminded:
"Attention, that girl is a human, not a machine. If you slap her to death, I will only be able to pick up soap in prison for the rest of my life."
"I know." Frankenstein answered Lin Chi's question with the speakers of the drone: "I'm not a fool."
While speaking, the exoskeleton had already started to move. He used metal finger bones to open the door of the locker room and walked out with a steady pace. While the exoskeleton was moving, the drone connected to the data cable also flew out, floating two meters away from the exoskeleton.
"ah……"
Seeing this scene, the girl who claimed to be the captain couldn't help but open her eyes: "Is the exoskeleton so advanced now?"
"Well, this is a new feature." Lin Chi began to lie decisively.
"I have to play like this even if I have time!" The captain rushed to the exoskeleton, circled around Frankenstein, and looked at the steel body controlled by the "friend who was paralyzed in bed".
She didn't usually get in touch with the exoskeleton, obviously she didn't realize that Lin Chi was lying. Frankenstein cooperated and pretended to be happy, using the speaker of the drone, saying, "I'm so happy."
"Your tone can't hear the happiness at all." Lin Chi teased.
"shut up."
As if he had confidence because he had gained the "body", Frankenstein's attitude towards Lin Chi seemed to have become slightly worse. However, Lin Chi would not care about this, but just stood aside with great interest and watched Frankenstein and the captain come to the arcade of "House of Death 12".
As one of the most famous light gun shooting games in arcade halls, the theme of "House of Death" has always been shooting zombies, and this generation has not changed much. The captain grabbed a light gun and held it in his hand, turned his head to look at Frankenstein and asked, "Can you pick it up?"
"certainly."
While speaking, Frankenstein had already pulled out another light gun inserted in front of the machine with his right hand. His movements were so skillful that he did not look like an exoskeleton being remotely controlled, and he was almost approaching the real person.
"I want to buy a set of exoskeletons too!" Stars were almost popping up in the captain's eyes.
"The state stipulates that minors are not allowed to purchase and use exoskeletons." Lin Chi, who was standing beside him, reminded.
"Don't let it go, it's really..." The captain shook his head: "You can't find a girlfriend like this, k23."
Lin Chi had no interest in continuing to talk about this topic, but just sat on the chair on the right and watched the two prepare to start the game.
In the eyes of an old salted fish who is unable to get up all day long, things like marriage, getting married, getting married and starting a business are not the necessary path in life, but are optional content. In addition to being extremely focused in the game, Lin Chi in real life is basically always in a state of "eating around and waiting for death".
After all, he prefers adventure in the virtual world of the game than the boring reality. And...
Bang bang bang bang!
The gunshots in front of the machine in "House of Death 12" interrupted Lin Chi's thoughts. Several zombies projected by the holographic projection rushed towards the exoskeleton controlled by the captain and Frankenstein from both sides.
“die-die-die!”
Perhaps because of the two-player game, the captain kept shouting slogans in his mouth, and his aiming speed was astonishingly fast. The ugly zombies who rushed towards her were blown one by one.
She spent time in the game hall every day, and her proficiency was naturally unattainable. In Lin Chi's opinion, even if she was on the battlefield, she might not be able to reach the captain's shooting accuracy.
However... the other player who competed on the same stage with the captain this time was actually not a human.
——The exoskeleton's legs remained motionless, and the body was as stable as a mountain, but the arms were constantly moving. Unlike the captain's high-speed shooting style that poured bullets, Frankenstein's playing style fully demonstrates the rationality and efficiency of the "professional killer":
Pa, pa, pa!
Frankenstein uses a single-fire mode, and each bullet accurately hits the head of the zombie. If it is not killed, it will instantly re-energize the gun. The reaction speed is completely inhuman.
I noticed the operation of the exoskeleton. The captain who has played "House of Death 12" countless times next to me also noticed that something was wrong:
"Hey, you're cheating?"
"I've played it before." Frankenstein explained coldly, and helped the captain kill several zombies that almost bit her.
"Are you really a human reaction speed?" The captain was still a little unbelievable, and the score gap that was already behind became even bigger.
She had never expected that someone would suppress herself in the game "House of Death 12". It would be fine if the other party was using physical body, and even the remotely controlled exoskeleton of a paralyzed patient in bed could defeat her, which made her completely unacceptable.
The gunshots of a continuous cannon shocked the entire game hall, and the captain who came to his senses began to work hard to recover his disadvantages. Unfortunately, Frankenstein was obviously more skilled. Not only did he kill the zombies on his side, but he also solved many zombies on the captain's side. The difference between the two players had expanded to twice in a blink of an eye.
"I won't lose to you!" The captain shouted angrily, speeding up the shooting speed again.
Seeing the girl looking angry, Lin Chi whispered in a low voice: "Don't go too far, she's still a child."
"You have to do your best to play the game." Frankenstein's tone was serious: "I won't fail again this time."
"I see she's about to cry." Lin Chi sighed.
"It's your own fault." Frankenstein replied in his headphones.
"This idiom is not used like this..." Lin Chi leaned weakly on the chair, waiting for the end of this gunpowder-filled cooperative game.
Chapter completed!
