Chart Topper Queen

Ai Bei staggered to the side and looked back while holding the small backpack.

The visitor is unusually eye-catching, with fiery red hair, handsome eyebrows, a straight nose, and a youthful spirit.

As soon as he entered, everyone who was still choosing the room all focused their attention on him, unlike Abe who reduced his sense of presence when he came in, the others just passed by without leaving much impression.

Ott didn't care about these glances, he just lowered his eyes and glanced at Abe.

In addition to the fair and tender skin, the girl who is all gray has dull gray even her fingernails, like a cat that has fallen into the chimney for fun, and is covered with gray hair.

The little gray cat's eyes were slightly round, as if surprised, but also frightened.

He raised the corner of his mouth, "Not convinced?" The top of her head only reached below his chest, and she was pitifully petite, and the "shorty" was worthy of the name.

The little gray cat shook his head, timidly, a little pitifully.

too weak.

The young man immediately lost interest, no longer cared about her, and walked past her without even looking at the others. He just threw his travel bag behind his back, and Shi Shiran chose a room to enter, covering his body. Filled with the word "arrogant".

"Hey—" Someone stretched out his hand to stop him, but before he could speak, the name "Ott" was added to the back of the room displayed on the virtual screen, indicating that it was occupied. The man muttered, "That's the room I just wanted to choose..."

After all, it is in the business of being an anchor, and most of the contestants have high emotional intelligence. Such a hot-tempered lone ranger is rare. But the more he does this, the more it shows that he has the ability and confidence, and maybe has an unfathomable background, so he can't easily offend.

"...He's Ott?"

"you recognize?"

"I've heard the name. It is said that this person has a strong intention to kill. If he kills less than 100 people in a game, he refuses to end the live broadcast."

"Who to kill, npc?"

The person who disclosed the information was silent for a moment, "npc." Before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, he continued, "After all, there are not enough players together."

That is to say, the opponent kills the players first, and the number of NPCs is not enough to make up.

Everyone who heard it took a deep breath.

Except for Ai Bei's pain and nerves that are different from ordinary people and have long been used to it, no one would want to experience the feeling of a tragic death in a live game. It's not that no one snipes other players in the game, but they are just for the result of the game, not to enjoy the process of killing, like this large-scale "slaughter", it is hard not to let people imagine whether there is something wrong with this psychological state .

But for now, everyone doesn't know who the opponents will be in the future, and whether there will be a player pk in the game is still unknown, and everyone sighs.

Before entering the room, Yu Nai and Ai Bei exchanged glances and separated from each other.

Rather than sticking together in a group, it is better to spread out to inquire about the news. Since the beginning of the game, the two have already had a tacit understanding, and they can understand each other's plans with just one look.

Most people are going to go back to their rooms to rest first, so after deciding where to belong, the corridors are relatively quiet.

Under the guidance of the self-service robot, Aibe visited the common room, virtual cabin placement room, cab and other rooms. Like the outer wall of the corridor of the airship, the common room can be transparent, or the background can be changed, such as virtual classical European fireplace, ancient oriental tea room and other elements, which can be switched according to personal preferences.

The virtual cabin placement room is quite spacious, the virtual cabins are neatly arranged, and the high-tech materials condense a cool luster in the sunlight.

this number...

After Abe went through it, he felt that the number was a bit large. If it was just for entertainment for those who wanted to connect to the Internet, there was absolutely no need for more virtual cabins than the number of players. The entertainment time of everyone will not all overlap. Even if they overlap, there is no problem in using virtual helmets under normal circumstances. When going out, it is naturally more convenient to use a portable virtual helmet.

Unless it is a formal occasion such as a competition, the quality difference between the virtual helmet and the virtual cabin will affect the results of the competition.

Did the race start in the airship?

The program team did indicate that the next official game will be held in the Capital Star, but it is not impossible to have a screening game before that. Just like the story Solitaire they played at the beginning, it was a simple knockout match to screen the qualifications of the players. There was no live broadcast, and the content of the official game was different.

The competition of Capital Star is of great significance. If titr wants to screen the qualifications of players again and prevent regional cheating, it is not impossible.

Just a simple visit, Ai Bei guessed the little moves prepared by the program team closely, thinking that he came to the program team to prepare a "surprise" for the contestants.

And now the only thing that makes her curious is that she doesn't know what the screening method is?

After a general tour of the airship, Ai Bei returned to the selected room to rest for a while. He was alone at dinner, but Yu Nai had quickly made friends. During the rest time after dinner, the two also came to the public room together. Lounge, looking for entertainment during leisure time.

The communal lounge is now set against the backdrop of a European-style fireplace, creating a cold winter with heavy snow falling outside the window. A group of people sit in front of the fireplace talking, reading, and playing chess, which is very comfortable.

Ai Bei chewed slowly and finished his dinner quietly, then glanced at the message from Yu Nai on the personal terminal and came to the common room.

When she arrived, Tao Nai was playing chess with a female player with long black hair.

The contestant's complexion is light brown, his pupils are also dark brown, and his facial features are mature and charming. There are many people around her, which shows her popularity.

The chessboard placed between the two is very special, in the shape of a square, standing straight between Yu Nao and the female player, just like a 21st century TV hanging on the wall, but the chessboard is suspended in the air , and there are two displayed faces, corresponding to the two players.

The chess pieces in the "chessboard" are not black and white pieces, but little people with labels attached to the "chessboard" like colored pushpins.

Ai Bei's light gray pupils flickered, and the person next to him who was also watching the chess game whispered ignorantly: "What is this?"

"Don't you know?" The man glanced at her strangely, seeing that she really didn't understand, not joking with himself, and finally said, "This is plot&chess, plot chess, I took it before I entered the game Practitioners. Simply put, two chess players first choose a story background, then buy some characters on the chessboard, and use them to achieve their goals. In a round, either buy a character, or order a character to do something, only You can choose one of two.”

"The chess players in the plot chess are actually similar to the screenwriters. The chess players write the story and make it logical and orderly. It's just that compared to the fixed thinking brought by writing the script by yourself, the chess pieces in the plot chess usually bring some Unexpected development, the game between two people can also promote the use of brain power and stimulate potential, so the anchor and screenwriter like to use it to exercise and broaden their thinking."

"Sounds like fun." Abe tiptoed to look at the screen, looking eager to try.

Seeing that she is ignorant but full of interest in the area she is familiar with, this undoubtedly stimulates the chatter of passersby, "You really don't know? You have never played plot chess, and you can actually reach this step in the game. It's really rare. See, where are you from? Don't you guys play there?"

After the appearance of plot chess, even children like to play it, and those who have never seen or played are rare.

"Well, I used to be sick at home and have never had any friends..." Ai Bei heard the words, his heels fell, his eyes dimmed slightly.

The passerby boy was a little at a loss, and said with sympathy and comfort: "It's okay, it's not too late to understand now. You can come out to the game, you should be in good health, right? If you don't understand anything, just ask me!"

"thank you."

Ai Bei raised his head and smiled at him, his gray eyes were slightly bright, like the dust in the universe forming a vortex, which has a special attraction.

The boy's heart seemed to stop beating for a moment, and after a long while, it jumped violently. He seemed to see her pointing at the two of the competition and asked him a question, but he was silent, and it took a long time before he heard the words in his ears. He coughed, "What did you say?"

"I want to ask, what are they doing now?"

On the screen, the selection of a round ended, and the picture jumped from the filled villain to the holographic image.

"Ah, this is the dynamic of 'chess pieces'. The two of them just finished two rounds, both of which were used to buy chess pieces. Regina, the black-haired girl, chose the role of a popular and beautiful actress, and a Driver, the role of driver is a good choice. You can track the itinerary of important people and collect information. It is not expensive and cost-effective. Another girl seems to be called Taro Yuan? She chose a pure actress and a detective role, wow The chess pieces, such as private investigators, are dedicated to collecting information, but they are much more valuable than the driver, and they will bleed a lot at the beginning. The initial funds are limited, and if they cannot return the capital later, the chess player’s own capital chain will be broken, but it will be automatically determined to fail.”

Aibe's gray eyes reflected the image on the screen, while absorbing information from the boy's words.

In the picture is a scene like a movie. The glamorous actress belonging to Regina is getting out of the car, with red high-heeled shoes on her snow-white thighs, and the heels touch the ground, but she still turns her head to meet another person in the car. A bit "broken".

The boy continued to say: "playing in the entertainment industry background, and this way of choosing chess, there is a high possibility of going through the emotional flow. The tasks of emotional flow generally have goals, as long as the 'chess pieces' take the initiative and which character Contact, you can know who the target is, this is not difficult to guess."

"Is every character in it flexible?"

It's just a simple chessboard, and it is impossible to do better than virtual helmets and virtual cabins with high probability. You must know that when Ai Bei participated in the audition, except for the contestants, the other virtual NPC characters were relatively single.

If every avatar was as intelligent as Hall, the virtual world would have been messed up long ago.

"Ah, I forgot to tell you that there are two types of chess pieces. One is active chess, which is the main chess. Like the female star chess in their hands, they are the main chess in this game. The main chess is more flexible and gives High-level intelligence. In comparison, functional chess, that is, secondary chess, has a relatively single role. For example, the functions embodied by the names of chess pieces such as drivers and detectives have only basic intelligence, and they can listen to simple commands, and their interaction ability is not so high.”

"Of course, functional chess can be activated and converted into active chess, and you can spend money. I once watched two people play story chess on the side of Xingwang, and they played until the late stage. Active chess, that chess game was really exciting, after the pieces began to have 'consciousness', even the players couldn't control the overall situation, the chessboard was fully alive, and the final battle had nothing to do with the players."

"So there are pros and cons. Functional chess is more 'obedient', and active chess is more flexible. If you want to achieve your goals, the main move is still active chess. Functional chess can only be used as a deputy to provide help for active chess."

After listening to some words, the basic setting of plot chess is actually not difficult to understand. It mainly depends on how chess players can flexibly use chess pieces, revitalize their characters, and create the situation they want.

This is much more interesting than the boring script creation in the 22nd century. If a writer like Hall could play PC chess back then, maybe he would be less troubled by the scenes he was not good at.

If given the chance, she would also like to play a game.

Ai Bei had a general understanding of the so-called pc game, and began to watch the game between the two seriously.

Regina's moves seem to be relatively simple, and the main focus is on the two pieces that have been purchased. If the glamorous actress and the president (target person) of the entertainment company are at odds, the driver will provide the glamorous actress with the president's itinerary information. , which is convenient for her to "snipe" at any time. On the other hand, in addition to the original chess pieces, Yu Nai also purchased functional chess for the roles of nanny and waiter. It seems to be chaotic, but when necessary, it can always interrupt the relationship between the glamorous actress and the target character. schedule.

The expressions of the two people outside the chess board are very relaxed, after all, it is a game of chess, plus—

time is not up yet.

Every episode, every movie will have prime time. Ai Bei has never played plot chess, but he has seized the prime time in many live games.

And the two players on the board apparently did too.

The boy beside her who explained to her felt weak for a moment, and said disappointedly: "This game doesn't seem interesting, the background setting is very ordinary, and the chess path is quite satisfactory. At present, it seems that the man named Yu Yuan The players seem to have more tricks, but they are all petty. Maybe the two of them didn't play seriously. I have always heard that Regina is very good. She is a player of the Capital Star, and this time she came out to pick up friends. ."

"Or is another girl who didn't inspire her fighting spirit? I don't know which galaxy she is a player from, and the name is very unfamiliar."

He didn't let Aibe see the wonderful chess game as soon as he came up, the boy looked very regretful, "I will call you next time there is a fierce and beautiful chess game, I think a background like Star Wars is more fun than the basic version, although it is more Spend a little star to unlock, but it's worth it. If you like emotional games, I think the special background across time and space can also create a good script."

"By the way, have you watched the variety show "For the Future You"? Although it's not a big galaxy variety show, it's not very famous, but the last episode is said to be a communication across time and space. My friend's comments are not bad."

Just when he enthusiastically threw out all kinds of information, hoping that the girls around him would not be too lost because of the chess game, he suddenly heard her whisper: "It's time."

He was stunned, his eyes followed her, and he came to the chessboard again.

Not long after she finished speaking, on the chessboard, Regina, who had been suppressed by Yu Nao, suddenly moved. She unknowingly got enough money to give up the move in the latest round and choose to activate the function chess.

The driver role is instantly activated.

Just when the people watching the chess game wondered why the role of the driver needs to be activated, the driver was entrusted by the president to pick up the little canary, the pure actress, who was raised by the president.

On the way to pick up, he took the opportunity to kidnap the pure actress and quickly tore up the ticket.

Tauna's main chess dies.
