"King of Fighters 98"
On the square screen, the shiny colorful arcade font kept jumping.
Below the words, there was a button that said "Fight Start", and in the background, there were two muscular men. Their arms were bare, and their hair was tied up with strips of cloth. They jumped up and kicked handsomely in the air, forming an X shape.
Kacha!
A snow-white pixel lightning flashed, and they fell down and started fighting again.
Ha!
Hahaha!
They fought crazily.
Sparks and lightning flashed.
The opening background was very exquisite, and even the fighting was different.
This was because the fighting AI was set to attack randomly, which was equivalent to two computers fighting each other. After all, this arcade machine could fight with two players, and it could also fight with computers.
Hahaha!
Such handsome fighting and humming sounds were somewhat dazzling in the gloomy and dark Underworld. It also attracted many construction site people who were still reading the newspaper.
Zhang Xiao was shocked, and his hands tightly gripped the screen. His pupils widened, "This, this, this … What's going on? There are words' Fight Start ', sounds, and people?"
Zhang Xiao brought Li Sansheng here to test it for the rise of the Human Dao and to find a chance to fight back against the Celestials. As the first Celestial Emperor of the Human Dao, he was already extremely cautious and dared to be the first to fight against the Celestials. However, he never expected that such a strange phenomenon would happen after he put in the coin.
Through the transparent glass, he could see that there were actually two muscular men inside the machine.
He had never seen such a strange thing in his life.
"Do the two Daoists inside know how to speak?" Zhang Xiao suddenly leaned on the screen and gently knocked on the glass, as if he was knocking on the door. "How did you two get in? Why are you fighting? Why are you so ruthless? "
Ha!
Haha!
The two people were still fighting, and there was no reply.
"What the hell is going on? The two of them can't hear us? " This strange scene made Li Sansheng a little uneasy. Previously, Zhang Xiao said that the current Underworld was incredible and mysterious. He didn't believe it, but now he had to believe it.
"I don't know either. Looking at the fight between these two, there are lightning and flames. It seems that they are powerful people with extraordinary cultivation." Zhang Xiao couldn't help but be a little surprised. He picked up the arcade machine, which was as tall as a person, and turned it over and over to check for abnormalities.
But no matter how he looked at it, it didn't look like it could fit two people.
The previous newspapers were still within the acceptable range for Zhang Xiao. After all, in the mortal world, there were also paper books, classrooms, teachers, and literati. However, what he saw in front of him was inconceivable. It belonged to the category of unconventional things that he could not understand at all.
At this time, the people in the distance also rushed over.
When everyone saw the lit up screen, they began to discuss spiritedly. They were amazed and laughed as they communicated with each other.
"Reincarnation is truly the most mysterious and bizarre place in the world. How strange! Is this the combat pavilion being tested? Why are there two little people behind this metal lump's glass? " An existence of the Mortal Dao spoke. His cultivation when he was alive wasn't ordinary, and his horizons weren't low either. He frowned slightly. "Could it be that it's similar to the Three Lives Stone, allowing us to see images of our past lives?"
One of the celestials couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, "That's not the case! Everyone, take a look! These two people seem to be trapped behind this mysterious glass. They are constantly fighting, but there is no repetition, as if they are real people. "
Everyone was still watching carefully, not daring to act rashly.
They observed this kind of battle for a few minutes. There was indeed no repetition, and it really didn't look like a rigid image.
"Amazing workmanship. Could it be the world-class alchemy item in the True Records of the Great Alchemy Emperor? Like the Hanging Garden of Babylon, Adolf the Giant … "Soon, someone remembered the incredible scene introduced in the novel, the legendary alchemy.
"It really looks like it!"
Suddenly, everyone thought carefully and held their breath.
They had learned about the mysterious and vast Sorcerer World in the novel, and they were already addicted to it. Naturally, they couldn't stay calm in front of them.
If it was an ordinary novel, it would definitely not attract them. At most, it would only attract the obsession of some ordinary people. But the epic novel in front of them, which was so real, and even the theory and system were very likely to be realized, deeply touched their hearts, and they forgot to eat and sleep.
The plots, sentences, and cultivation systems in these novels were enough to shock their hearts.
As they savored it carefully, they felt that they had touched the truth of the world in their own realm. Many people had epiphanies and felt that their path of cultivation was suddenly enlightened.
"Wait, this combat booth … Is it the legendary Gate of Truth that Grantham the Great Alchemy Emperor was searching for?!" Someone looked at the screen and felt that he had seen through a different world.
"The Gate of Truth?"
The dozen or so people present immediately stopped laughing.
They seemed to be delusional and obsessed with novels, but at this moment, they all felt that it was quite possible!
Didn't the square-shaped glass frame look like the mysterious Gate of Truth?
"It must be noted that wizards are a group of pure people who pursue the truth …" They looked at the arcade machine, and the atmosphere suddenly became solemn. Suddenly, someone recited the epic scene where Hermes granted the Godly Fire to the mortals and the three witches on the ground.
"Alchemy is the mysterious art of creating the unknown of life!
"It is the way to pry open the Gate of Truth. If you can master this knowledge, you will receive the true meaning and glory of the world, and all the mysteries in the world will disappear.
"Everything in the world reinforces and suppresses each other. That's the principle of alchemy.
"The secret of alchemy lies in the 'Trinity Formula': one substance pleases another, one subdues another, and one dominates another," Lucien explained.
…
The recitation went on and on.
Everybody recalled the exquisite words in the book more and more.
It was the principle of alchemy in the stories of wizards. It was mysterious and contained the ultimate truth that wizards pursued.
"If that's the case, then perhaps this isn't traditional alchemy, but evil alchemy, the Dark Witches' School of Death …" Someone's breathing quickened, and he couldn't help but try to figure it out. He pointed at the arcade machine and said in a deep voice, "Look at these two people … They cruelly imprisoned the souls of the living in this metal lump, and made them fight each other day and night … It's a cruel punishment!"
Everybody nodded, feeling that it was cruel too.
At this time, the two fighting figures on the screen would probably fight for hundreds or even thousands of years. This kind of suffering was indeed a kind of hellish torture, a punishment more cruel than death.
If they were locked up inside and kept fighting, people could watch just by putting in a coin. Just thinking about it was horrifying!
"This Underworld controls the six paths of reincarnation. At this time, let us build Fengdu, establish the Naraka Realm, as a hellish world after death … Maybe this metal block will take in those felons who committed serious crimes in life and let them suffer here! Make up for their bad karma! "
"Maybe this is the truth of the Naraka Realm. In this box is hell!"
"Hahaha, that makes sense!"
"Brother, you're wise!"
"As expected of a celestial!"
Everyone calmed down and discussed around the arcade machine. "And if we put in a coin, we can see the scene of their fighting. Maybe we can understand some fighting principles from it."
"However, the Gate of Truth might not be suitable. It's more suitable to call it the Gate of Hell."
Everyone nodded and agreed. It was exactly what they wanted.
Such torture, fighting without stopping for a moment. Wasn't it hell?
After all, the people present were knowledgeable and had read the biography of the Great Alchemist Emperor. Combining it with the mysterious alchemy, and with constant deduction, they gradually came to a conclusion.
"And it's called the Combat Pavilion. Not only can we torture them, we can also watch them fight and learn!"
"Yes, these people are probably powerful!"
Therefore, everyone sat down cross-legged as they watched the game start screen. They wanted to understand the mysteries within. It was as if Hong Jun was preaching, and the experts were sitting on the futons, listening attentively.
Catapult, who was hiding at the side, was dumbfounded.
Brothers, this is the King of Fighters, a fighting game. Why are you watching this opening scene as if it's a movie?
One hour.
Two hours …
They were still sitting cross-legged, watching the fight between the two.
Catapult, who was hiding in the dark, gradually changed his expression. Surprise, shock, shock, pain, and all kinds of complicated emotions took turns. Suddenly, he felt a sense of depression in his chest. It was very uncomfortable, and he could not help but roar in his heart.
Watch your sister!
Hurry up and press the "Start Battle" button!
…
He could not be blamed for being speechless. After a few months of hard work, learning electronic circuits and alchemy, and with the help of the big shots, he had finally entered the era of video games. Combining alchemy, the electronic components he made were not very precise, and the size was rough and large. However, they were barely at the level of the arcade machines of the 70s and 80s. Therefore, he made the most classic arcade game, the King of Fighters.
And it was the hardcore version.
After all, ordinary people only had a few moves, so it was not difficult. But what about the experts? Naturally, they had to be strengthened. There were thirty moves, complicated, and extremely difficult. The movements were so fast that it was difficult to react. In short, it was as hard as it could be.
He had been meticulously working on it for a few months, so of course, he hoped that the response would be enthusiastic.
Who knew that in front of him …
The live broadcast room was dead silent.
This was too much of a show.
"I'm laughing so hard! Hahahaha, this machine is connected to the Gate of Truth. Hell? Is it torture, with little people locked inside? "
"They are so cute!"
"Don't worry, calm down and analyze. I know why they didn't press the" Start Battle "button. It's because they don't know how to operate the joystick. After they put in the coins, the screen lit up with the words" Start Battle ", and the people started fighting. Doesn't that mean that it has already started?"
"Think about it, the words that appeared, coupled with the graphics, can indeed be understood as such. (suddenly enlightened. jpg)"
"No wonder they were quietly watching. They thought that was all there was to it. (laughing while pissing)"
…
Mao Pai thought about it. Looking at the bullet screen in the live broadcast, he did not know whether to laugh or cry. It was his fault for not explaining it clearly. These dead ancient people naturally had their own way of understanding this strange creation that transcended time.
It seemed that he had to go up and explain how to play.
However, at this time, some people in the bullet screen began to suggest, "Wait, the setting of the Gate of Hell is quite interesting! Since they think that this is an alchemy artifact locked in a cage, why don't we go with the flow? "
"That's a good idea. I was just worrying about how to build 18 levels of Hell. Now that we have it, wouldn't it be wonderful to design 18 levels? (laughing emoji) "
"You're a devil, cutting corners to such an extent!"
"Don't say, Meng Po will like it too! After all, every time we enter the combat pavilion, we will see a group of people suffering in the 18 levels of Hell, fighting each other. Moreover, we can control them to fight. Such torture … will also deter others in the Naraka Realm from acting presumptuously. (laughing emoji) "
"Wait, when the time comes, we might even be able to make it real … They are all dummies now, but in the future, they can become real people. We can really stuff the souls of the prisoners into them and make them into an arcade game!?"
"That's a great idea!"
"Ask Meng Po if she can do it! This 18 levels of Arcade Hell is really interesting! "
"Maybe Meng Po can't make the decision. She doesn't have that kind of power. Let's ask the legendary Emperor."
"Right, let's see what kind of aesthetics this mysterious existence has!"
After a round of discussion, the setting of the 18 levels of Hell was finalized.
Arcade = Gate of Hell.
The Gate of Hell was connected to the 18 levels of Hell.
Even they could not help but say that it was wonderful!
This setting was really not bad.
However, at this time, Maojump was prepared to explain and let them start the game. After all, the scene before him was very awkward.
"Don't be anxious. Let's watch first!"
"Many big shots are experienced people. It's natural for them to analyze carefully."
The bullet screen in the live broadcast room was filled with comments.
Maojump was silent for a while. After thinking about it, he decided to observe in secret. The audience's first reaction was extremely important. After all, the construction of Fengdu still depended on deception.
…
…
Three days passed.
Apart from carrying bricks and reading newspapers, the audience also had an additional interest. They came to the combat pavilion to watch the two people fight.
As the days passed, they realized that the two people's moves had become completely clear. Both of them had 30 moves each. They were tired of watching. Many people were thinking, could it be that there was some kind of mysterious move? Could these 30 moves contain the rules of heaven and earth?
After they were tired of watching, they began to realize that there was a bunch of strange buttons on it. They did not know what they were used for. Zhang Xiao could not help but start to test them boldly.
Ding!
[Start game]
After pressing a certain button, the row of words flashed, and two options appeared.
"Single player mode."
"Two player mode."
…
"New scene?" Zhang Xiao was surprised. He began to try to understand the functions of these buttons. Up and down would jump between the two modes. After he pressed OK for "Single player mode," countless avatars appeared.
Kyo Kusanagi.
Iori Yagami.
…
Please choose the difficulty:
First-order.
Second-order.
Zhang Xiao chose the current highest difficulty, third-order.
After that, fourth-order, fifth-order, sixth-order, Quasi-emperor, Celestial Emperor, and God were all gray and could not be activated.
Looking at these difficulty options, the surrounding people breathed heavily. This …
Is it because we are too weak to activate it?!
Another round of random choices.
In fact, these options were enough to understand the function of the buttons. After choosing, the real fighting scene appeared.
"Huh?" Zhang Xiao was shocked.
He found that he could control a character to fight with another.
His pupils contracted in excitement. "Unbelievable! Unbelievable! Is this the Gate of Hell? It was a marvelous craftsmanship and a marvelous technique! Not only can it imprison prisoners, but it can also control their bodies to fight? "
But in his opinion, this kind of torture was too cruel. It was unacceptable for a master to let others play with his body.
"Kyo Kusanagi … What kind of master is this?" Zhang Xiao was also sitting on the console, controlling this character. His combat talent was so strong, and his reflexes were terrifying. The screen was almost blurred.
Third-order difficulty.
Clap clap clap!
Countless frames changed every second on the screen, and the gorgeous battle turned into blurred images.
Every time he used a gorgeous move, the name of the move would appear next to it. It was so smooth that it made people feel carefree and extremely pleasing to the eye.
"What a monster! After being beaten a few times, he became completely familiar with it? After knocking down the opponent, he began to practice his moves on the spot? "
"This kind of combat talent? I didn't expect our brick-moving foreman to be so strong! "
"As expected of a man that even I admire." Even the Celestial was secretly surprised.
The surrounding crowd was completely shocked.
The crowd of people gathered around the arcade with faces full of excitement. Meanwhile, Cat Hopping was completely dumbfounded. Ten thousand curses ran through his mind. He had never thought that he had still underestimated these monsters from the High Transcendent World. Could this be the average level of a Great God?
The live broadcast room was also flooded with messages. Were all the ghosts in the Underworld so fierce? This was simply inhuman. How was he going to make a game for them to play?
"As expected of the Battle Pavilion."
Zhang Xiao was extremely excited, and he was even more impressed.
He controlled the character to fight with the opponent, and called Li Sansheng, who was next to him, to watch from the side. He said seriously, "Watch how I fight! Then learn well, and the mission to save the mortal world in the future will be handed over to you … Now watch how I operate. For example, this move [External Style – Naruto], in the air → → → → … a total of eight keystrokes to be used. "
