"What?" Hearing Jane's words, Ethan's hand holding the chopsticks stopped in the air, and his brows immediately furrowed: "How is that possible? It's fake, it must be fake!!"
The news really shocked him!
After all, in Ethan's game setting, the difficulty is really super high to complete this thing!
He always felt that it was impossible for anyone to do it in the first week.
"It doesn't seem to be fake, Ethan. Just watch this video." Jane handed the phone to Ethan.
Ethan put down the chopsticks in his hand and immediately clicked in to take a look. The first person to appear was a boy who was only about fifteen or sixteen years old, facing the camera and said with a smile:
"Hello, all players of 'Deep Sea Trek,' let me tell you some super good news. Today, with the help of my sister and the god-level backup invited by my sister, we successfully rescued the woman in Pod No. 2! And there are unexpected discoveries!!!
"First of all, welcome our two backups!!!"
Following his words, another man and a woman walked into the camera and greeted with a smile.
Ethan narrowed his eyes, how these two looked familiar, but he couldn't place them for a moment.
Or the viewers in the comments below reminded him.
"No way, Olympic swimming champion Jessica Fu?!
"And the Olympic shooting champion Zachary Chang?!
"You two legends!!!
Ethan:
After seeing these two people, Ethan was dumbfounded. He suddenly realized that the difficulty he set seemed possible to be cracked.
In the video, the three of them quickly greeted the audience, and John Fu continued to speak like the host: "Now let's see how we rescued the woman in Pod No. 2!"
Saying that, the screen transitioned and entered the game.
First, Jessica Fu controlled the game. As soon as the game started, she jumped into the sea and began cruising on the nearby shoal.
She found titanium ore, dug it out with a dagger, and created an oxygen cylinder to allow herself to stay underwater longer.
After carrying the oxygen bottle, Jessica Fu began to search for the jet flower again.
Soon, she found a flower. Jessica swam over, touched the flower with her flippers, and then swam away immediately. The whole set of movements was done in one go, showing great skill!
Hissing, the self-exploding fish rushed out with a burning lead, and Jessica twisted like a mermaid, relying on her powerful movement to avoid it!
Although she was still affected by the damage caused by the self-exploding fish, she only lost a little health.
"No way, isn't she an Olympic champion? The swimming speed is really fast!!"
"Haha, and this movement technique is also very delicate!!!"
"When I put on the propeller, sometimes one-third of my health was blown off by the self-exploding fish. Jessica didn't use any tools, but only lost a little health?!"
"It turns out the gap between us and the champion is so big!"
Amid the admiration of the netizens, Jessica's movements were quite proficient. She lured eight self-destructing fish to explode and successfully collected sulfides. With the work of the 3D printing platform, a full magazine of the pistol was soon successfully produced.
At the same time, Jessica also received a distress broadcast from Pod No. 2. After Chang'e indicated the specific location, she immediately swam there with a gun.
The distance between the two sides quickly shortened, and soon it was within 30 meters. Jessica saw Pod No. 2 not far below and also saw the sea crocodile that was slamming into the escape pod!
In the impact of the sea crocodile, the shell of Pod No. 2 had been dented, and cracks had appeared... The situation was critical!
"Quick, pause the game!!" At this time, John Fu's voice came from outside the screen: "Sis, get off, then it's Zach's turn!"
"Hmmmmmm!"
"Okay, come on!!"
Then came the voices of Jessica Fu and Zachary Chang.
Jessica immediately chose to pause the game and then took off the VR headset. Zachary, who was waiting beside her, quickly took her place and entered the game.
Netizens were happy to see this scene:
"No way, did you change someone else to fight in the middle?!"
"Haha, this show is really awesome!"
"Pfft, you can still play like this!"
"Truly a strategy never thought of!"
Soon, the two exchanged, and after being operated by Zachary, he quickly took out his pistol, aimed at the sea crocodile that was hitting the escape pod in front, and pulled the trigger!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Zachary fired five bullets in one breath, and five blood flowers burst out from the sea crocodile!
Every shot hit!
"Roar!!!"
The sea crocodile roared and gave up hitting the escape pod, but instead swam towards Zachary!
However, Zachary was also not afraid of danger, and continued to stand on the spot and shoot frantically, firing all the remaining 20 bullets in the pistol in one breath!!!
Zachary fired a total of 25 bullets, and each shot successfully hit the sea crocodile!
"No way, Gun King! All hits!"
"It's insane! This is the gold content of a world champion!"
"Wow, the Olympic champion really isn't bragging!"
"This is too strong to be outrageous!!!"
After intensely drawing his gun and shooting furiously, Zachary had completely emptied the magazine, and then he could see the sea crocodile in the distance, stopped sprinting forward, covered in blood, and began to sink into the sea.
The sea crocodile was successfully eliminated!
"Pause the game, now my sister will play again!" John Fu's eager voice came from the voice-over.
"OK!"
"Got it!"
The two world champions quickly changed back, and controlled by Jessica Fu, she sprinted towards Pod No. 2.
Seeing this, netizens were also excited! The goal was about to be successfully completed!
At this time, Pod No. 2 had been smashed, and a large amount of seawater was pouring into it. Jessica swam in through the broken opening and soon found the woman in Pod No. 2.
This was an Asian woman, with a moderately attractive appearance and a ponytail, looking very temperamental.
The woman's eyes were tightly closed, and it seemed that she had fallen into a coma because of suffocation.
Seeing this scene, netizens were shocked:
"No way, I finally saw another person in Deep Sea Trek!"
"[New World] That's right, the woman in Pod No. 2 can really be rescued!!
ADVERTISEMENT
"But it's really not easy! It actually takes two world champions to save her, and they almost missed it! This difficulty is too high!"
"Haha, it can only be said that in order to save the woman in Pod No. 2, everyone fought hard!"
"I guess the producer himself didn't expect anyone to be rescued successfully, after all, the difficulty is here!
"That's for sure, I bet, the producer is absolutely stunned to see this video!!
"It can only be said that the work is beautiful, players should fight wits and courage with the game producer, especially someone like the producer who likes to play with the player's feelings, it feels very cool to hit him!!!
"This time is a big victory for the player!"
"Uh, Ethan, the netizens are mocking you..." Jane said, and then glanced at Ethan.
"You don't need to remind me, I'm not blind, I can see these comments," Ethan also rolled his eyes and replied very speechlessly.
Goodness, these players actually dare to talk to him!
I'm really puzzled about what's going on...
"Your rescue difficulty is really twisted! Only two world champions can rescue her, huh?"
Jane was complaining, but suddenly remembered something: "I remember when I was playing, it was easy to deal with the sea crocodile, keep calm, pull around a few turns, and then shoot frantically to kill it. Why does it seem so difficult in this video, and it takes two champions to deal with it using turns?"
"That's because the difficulty is different," Ethan explained. "I set two difficulties for the crocodile. Before the woman in Pod No. 2 dies, the crocodile's health is more, the speed and aggression are stronger, and at the same time, there is no shortcoming of slow turning.
"After the woman dies, all the attributes of the crocodile will be greatly reduced. This is for the convenience of the players to take revenge. When you kill the crocodile, don't you feel good in your heart? There is a kind of pleasure in getting revenge?"
Ethan has grasped the players' psychology. The Pod No. 2 girl was killed by the crocodile, and the players naturally wanted to avenge her, so the kind-hearted Ethan decided to give the players this opportunity to take revenge.
This can be regarded as him taking care of the emotions of the players.
"That's right, it's really cool to kill a crocodile!" Jane nodded and admitted, then sighed, "You think so carefully, Ethan, I just said how could the champion be inferior to me..."
Speaking of this, Jane touched her head a little embarrassedly.
Just now, she had the illusion that the world champion was too weak and she was too strong.
"But I'm very curious, Ethan, I want to interview you, why do you design it like this?" Jane asked again in confusion. "Do you simply want to abuse the player?"
"Am I that kind of person?" Ethan said helplessly.
Jane made a surprised expression: "Aren't you?!"
Ethan:
"Well, at least not this time," Ethan could only answer.
"Why is that?" Jane continued to ask.
"You can see this video below!" Ethan explained.
"Really..." Jane was dubious and continued to read.
In the video, Jessica Fu successfully broke into Pod No. 2 and saw the unconscious woman, but when she touched the woman in Pod No. 2 with her hand, there was a bang, and the woman turned into a burst of bubbles and suddenly disappeared from the screen.
Seeing this scene, netizens were a little confused, what is the situation?
The next moment, the screen paused, and a dialog box suddenly popped up:
[Congratulations on completing the hidden mission and successfully rescuing the No. 2 survivors]
[You can now open the online mode! Invite your Steam friends to play the role of the survivor of Pod No. 2 and explore together in this beautiful water world!]
Seeing this prompt, netizens suddenly realized:
"No way, it turns out that by saving this woman in Pod No. 2, 'Deep Sea Trek' can be online?!"
"It's actually such a design?!
"No way, let the online player play the role of the woman in Pod No. 2, so that the plot can be explained, and it can be connected online, killing two birds with one stone, the producer has strong control over the game!!!
"Who said that 'Deep Sea Trek' won't add an online system, come out and get beaten, they've already added it from the beginning!
"It can only be said that the producer is too gentle. Knowing that we are afraid, he has already set up the connection method. He really... I'm crying to death!!!"
"Gentle my foot, even if you know the connection method, you can't use it. The two world champion relays took a long time to save the woman in Pod No. 2. Do you think you can do it?!!!"
"Ah... it seems like it is..."
"Hey, the producer is still as troublesome as ever, haha!"
"It's better not to open this, knowing how to connect and not being able to do it is uncomfortable!!!"
"I seem to have realized that the producer didn't want us to enter the online mode too early, so he designed it like this. He has good intentions!!!!"
Amid the eager discussions among netizens, the video has also come to an end here. At this time, John Fu's excited voice came from the voice-over:
"Players, this is the whole process of saving the woman in Pod No. 2, and it also allows us to discover the way to connect. It's really exciting and unexpected. I'm here and I have to tell the [New World] studio. Say something awesome!!
"And David, have you seen David! I have fulfilled your wish for you!!!
"Tsk tsk, so that's how it is. After watching the video, Jane fully understood: "Saving the woman in Pod No. 2 is actually the way to start the connection? Ethan, your idea is really amazing!!!
Jane gave Ethan a thumbs up and sighed sincerely.
Ethan frowned and shook his head: "I'm still not thoughtful enough..."
He originally planned to allow players to turn on the online mode only in the second week, so he set a considerable difficulty in saving the woman in Pod No. 2, and it was impossible for the first week to succeed.
By the second week, players already have advanced weapons and equipment, and it will be very easy to save the woman in Pod No. 2 at that time.
This is an Easter egg, and it also conforms to his previous thoughts.
Let the players go on an adventure alone on an alien planet and experience the endless loneliness and cruelty.
After clearing the level once, turn on the online mode again, allowing them to experience another fun feeling of playing cooperatively with friends.
He felt that he designed it very well.
But who knows... This method was exposed so quickly!!!
Ethan was originally very confident unless the player opened the plug-in; otherwise, this Easter egg could not be discovered in the first week.
But because "Deep Sea Trek" is from the unprecedented Unreal Engine, other people can't make plug-ins at present.
This is a true zero-plug-in game.
But Ethan really never thought of it... Even though there are no software plug-ins, but his mother has physical plug-ins and human flesh plug-ins!!
With the super ability of the player himself, there are really people who have successfully opened the online mode in the first week!!!
For a time, Ethan had mixed feelings in his heart and helplessly raised his forehead: "Gosh, do you want to roll like this, play a game and you call me two world champions? And they are playing alternately? Is this a foul?!!
"Pfft..." Hearing this, Jane couldn't help laughing: "I really want to take a picture of your current expression and post it on social media for netizens to see! Netizens must really want to see you as a producer collapse!!!"
"Where are you from?" Ethan was speechless.
"Although I am your elder sister, I am also a player," Jane replied seriously.
Ethan pouted: "Forget it, it doesn't matter, you can find it online if you find it, so what if you find it, can you do it all?
Don't pretend, I'm going to showdown!!!
Anyway, only a few awesome people can start the online connection in the first week, and other players, let me suffer honestly and alone in the first week!
