"Such a big city? Could it be that a large portion of it was fake? A long distance model? "
Zou Zhuo looked at Los Angeles from the helicopter. He couldn't tell if this was a deliberate aerial view, or if the game was really that big.
Zou Zhuo had seen aerial maps of the city before. If he were to look at the area of the city in GTA, it would be around the size of a third or fourth tier city or county.
However, this wasn't an insult. On the contrary, it meant that the capacity of the game was terrifying. One had to know that the once popular "Earth Online", which had been touted for many years, might even be a little smaller than this.
Moreover, "Earth Online" had put in a lot of effort to create such a large map. At that time, the storage capacity and reading speed of the game capsule were still in a relatively poor state. Therefore, many of the districts in "Earth Online" were reused from the original resources, and there were many repetitive playstyles. Even so, players were still frustrated by the huge amount of resources and the maddening reading speed of the game. Some people even jokingly called "Earth Online" as "loading".
Some even joked that Earth Online was a game that took five minutes and two hours to load.
The maps of Assassin's Creed: Origins and The Legend of Zelda were also huge, but the themes were different after all. For example, in "The Legend of Zelda", the main map was the wilderness, scattered with some monsters, towers, shrines, yahaha, stables, and scattered NPCs. This map could be considered complete. However, a theme like GTA obviously couldn't be done like that. There had to be various buildings in the city, including shopping malls, residences, police stations, television stations, and so on. Moreover, the structure of the city had to be planned out as well.
When the helicopter flew closer, Zou Zhuo was able to see the details of the entire city more clearly. Zou Zhuo was surprised to find that every building in the city seemed to have its own characteristics. He couldn't find two buildings that were exactly the same. He could even see cars shuttling on the road and pedestrians strolling. Everything was almost no different from a normal city.
At this time, the helicopter hovered above the city. Zou Zhuo felt like his soul had left his body. He was now in the sky, and he could see the entire Los Angeles from above.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.
Zou Zhuo's vision zoomed in, and he found himself in the middle of a snowy landscape. He had arrived at a bank in North York.
Only then did the game officially begin.
[Rudolph, Northampton, 9 years ago]
A brown-haired woman wearing a hat was violently pushed to the ground. A gangster wearing a yellow jacket and holding a shotgun pointed the gun at her and shouted, "Be good and listen to me, and you'll be fine!"
The other gangster had already broken through the door and knocked the guard to the ground with the butt of his gun, leaving only two employees in shirts kneeling on the ground, trembling with their hands raised high.
Only then did Zou Zhuo realize that he was already in this scenario.
"So exciting right off the bat? Fight the robbers? Damn, should I find a place to hide now? But these robbers look so fierce, and their combat power is off the charts. I don't think I can beat them, right? "
Zou Zhuo was in a dilemma when he saw the criminal who had knocked down the guard look at him. "Why are you spacing out? Hurry up and tie up the guards! "
Zou Zhuo was stunned. Is this guy talking to me?
Only then did he realize that something was wrong. He touched his face.
Hmm, he had a gun in his hand, a hood over his head, and there was a bag on his back. He guessed that it was for money.
"Wait, I'm a robber too?!"
Zou Zhuo was dumbfounded. He thought that he was the main character involved in the robbery, but it turned out that he was also one of the robbers!
But thinking about it, why did he feel an inexplicable excitement?
The little fatty instantly changed his role. He followed behind the two robbers and began to rob the bank.
Every now and then, a few lines of text would appear in his field of vision. Zou Zhuo raised his submachine gun, aimed at the hostages, and chased them into the room. The other robber locked the door to prevent them from coming out and causing trouble.
"Okay, use your phone to detonate it!" the robber next to him reminded.
Zou Zhuo reached into his pocket and took out a Lehui phone.
Zou Zhuo was speechless.
Also, this thing didn't look like the latest smartphone with a large screen. It looked retro. After all, this plot had happened nine years ago.
There was an option to detonate on the dialing page. Not long after Zou Zhuo dialed the number, he heard a loud bang, and the whole bank shook.
The other two robbers cheered and began to run inside to grab the cash. Naturally, Zou Zhuo followed them.
"F * ck, so much money!"
Piles of colorful bills were piled high in front of him. Zou Zhuo put down his gun, put his bag aside, and crazily stuffed money into the bag.
Zou Zhuo had to admit that these stacks of banknotes were very realistic. Although he couldn't feel the specific texture of these banknotes because he was wearing gloves, just the weight and general feeling was enough to make his heart beat faster.
Zou Zhuo stuffed the bag to the brim until he couldn't stuff any more. A small line of text appeared in the lower right corner of his field of vision: Harvest: $179,500
。
"F * ck, I made 180,000 USD in one bank robbery? Sure enough, this is the fastest way to make money! " Zou Zhuo wanted to see if there was more money, but the other two robbers kept urging him to run amid the shrill alarm, so Zou Zhuo had no choice but to run out with them.
But just as they were about to go out, a guard suddenly rushed out from the side, pressed a pistol against Zou Zhuo's head, and pulled off his mask.
"Gotcha! I saw your face, I'll remember you! " The guard strangled Zou Zhuo's neck hard, and the pistol in his right hand was pressed against Zou Zhuo's temple.
Zou Zhuo was dumbfounded. There was no point in resisting when the gun was pressed against his face. He didn't dare move at all.
At this moment, the game character spoke. "You forget thousands of things every day. Why don't you forget this too?"
At the same time, a character switch notification appeared in Zou Zhuo's field of vision.
The moment he switched, Zou Zhuo seemed to have left his body and instantly possessed the robber in front of him.
"F * ck, you can do this?"
Zou Zhuo saw himself, Mike, twisting like a salted fish under the guard's gun, and his own gun was already aimed at the guard's bald head.
He pulled the trigger.
"Bang!"
A gunshot rang out, and Zou Zhuo felt a strong recoil pushing his shoulder. He also saw the muzzle of the gun spurt out, and blood spurted out of the security guard's head. His body fell to the ground with a thud.
“f**k！ You don't have to do this! "Mike wiped the blood off his face in disgust.
"Go, you'll have time to mourn," Zou Zhuo said indifferently.
Logically speaking, killing someone in such a highly realistic virtual world would cause some ripples in one's heart, but Zou Zhuo found that he didn't care much about the guard's life or death. Instead, he had already assumed the identity of a robber.
Zou Zhuo suddenly realized that he could do whatever he wanted in the virtual world without any restrictions...
