Since Feng Bujue had decided to fight his way back, he would definitely have to change his mode of operation.
The way he fought during a sudden attack would definitely be different from when he took a detour. Before this, in order to attract the enemy's attention and maintain their desire to chase after him, Brother Jue did not go overboard.
But now, he did not need to hold back.
Although his skill bar was locked after entering this dimension, his inventory, equipment, mastery, and physical abilities could all be used normally.
Feng Bujue, who had Grade-A Workmanship Mastery and Grade-B Marksmanship Mastery, effortlessly mastered the usage of the weapons and equipment dropped by the Red Falcons … He picked up two Assault Rifles and charged back.
Marksmanship, vision, reaction, movement speed … In terms of overall attributes, Feng Bujue was definitely a Contra (Contra, the name of the game meant a person with excellent combat abilities and qualities). Basically, he could do anything that a character in the game could do …
For example, jumping a few feet high on the spot, curling his body into a ball in the air and firing at his surroundings … If necessary, Brother Jue could do it too.
Besides that, Feng Bujue had another advantage, and that was … He was not like the characters in the game who would die upon contact. Brother Jue's defense was very high. The [I _ Wanna _ Be _ A _ Belt] and [1920 Harsh Armor] that had been developed for a long time were both extremely high defense equipment. Normal bullet damage was nothing in front of these two pieces of armor. Furthermore, with his zero time difference calculation and amazing physical abilities, it was not very likely that he would be hit by a bullet.
In summary, the moment Feng Bujue decided to charge forward, the Red Falcons' ending was almost certain.
After fighting like this for five minutes, Brother Jue killed his way from one side of the camp to the other and successfully met up with Isaac and the other two.
Naturally, the three of them were not easy to deal with. As elites who had battled with the Terminator troops for many years, fighting this bunch of Red Falcons … To them, it was at most a training exercise.
Of course, their kill count and efficiency were definitely not as good as Feng Bujue's …
To make a long story short, when the four of them reunited, the Red Falcon's camp had been taken down. The enemy's soldiers were either dead or running away. They no longer had the will to fight.
At this moment, a system notification rang in Brother Jue's ears: [Main Quest has been triggered.]
"Hmm?" When Feng Bujue heard this, he thought to himself, "Branch Main Storyline?"
No, that wasn't a branch main storyline … More accurately, it should be called a parallel main storyline. This was because the content of the mission did not conflict with the other main mission.
[You have entered the Contra Region's Eight Underwater Stages.]
"Oh, it's a prompt." After opening the Quest Bar and taking a look, Feng Bujue immediately understood the meaning of the system.
To put it bluntly, this quest was both a "direct hint" and a "free reward". Not only did it tell the players what to do next, but it also increased the number of completed quests when the players cleared the dungeon, increasing the final reward.
At this point, it had to be said that … the Normal difficulty scenario was too friendly.
"Hmm … But …" A few seconds later, Brother Jue thought about it again. "The system should know very well that this so-called Eight Underwater Stages does not exist, right? Then, this quest means … "
(Note: Contra's Eight Underwater Stages is one of the most famous and long-running rumors in China's gaming history. The general content of this rumor is that in the sixth stage of the game, at the right time, jump onto a soldier who is unable to display his image normally due to a bug, and you will be able to enter a hidden stage.)
"Mr. Feng, are you okay?" Just as Feng Bujue was thinking, Isaac walked over with a gun.
At this moment, Isaac was armed from head to toe, looking like a human-shaped ammunition depot.
"Ah … Of course, I'm fine." Feng Bujue still gave off the feeling that he was going into battle lightly. Even though he also had a submachine gun in each hand, he could stuff things like ammo into his inventory so that they would not take up too much space.
"Haha … As expected of the savior." At this time, Big Beard, who was hugging a small cannon, also walked over. He looked at the corpses behind Brother Jue that were gradually disintegrating into pieces. "The number of enemies that you have killed alone seems to be more than the three of us combined."
"That is not important," Feng Bujue said. "This camp before us is just the appetizer. There is still a long way to go … You have to be mentally prepared."
"No problem." At this time, Lightning walked over with two big guns on his back. "We are always prepared to deal with situations like this."
"That's right. Compared to the Peta Army's mechanical army, these little brats are still very inexperienced," Big Beard said proudly.
"That's good …" Feng Bujue said as he glanced at Isaac. This legendary hero of the resistance was still the same. His expression was resolute and calm, and he gave off a very reliable feeling. "Then … if there are no objections, let's move on …"
"Do you know where we're going?" Isaac asked immediately.
"Hmph …" Feng Bujue laughed. "Contra Douluo, just go 'forward' …"
…
Brother Jue's words were undoubtedly correct. After the four of them obtained their equipment, they continued to move in the direction that they had left the beach.
Not long after, a metal door connected to the mountain appeared in front of them. There were several soldiers on both sides of the door.
Feng Bujue spent a few seconds to make those soldiers fall to their posts forever …
After that, the four of them entered the mountain tunnel behind the metal door.
The top of the tunnel was a black metal plate. The lighting equipment was embedded in the ceiling, like a white light snake that stretched into the distance. The walls on both sides of the tunnel were gray, and the ground was painted blue.
Since there were no forks in the road, Feng Bujue and the others followed the only path that led them into the tunnel.
Along the way, the four of them encountered many Red Falcon soldiers in green. The combat power of these soldiers was obviously higher than the ones they had encountered in the camp, but they were still unable to pose much of a threat to Brother Jue and the others.
Other than the higher ranking soldiers, there was a red 'defensive wall' that appeared every once in a while in the tunnel. There were machine guns and turrets on the walls, and at the bottom of the wall, there was a kind of rolling thunder that rolled along the ground. There was also an electric fence within a certain distance from the defensive wall.
Fortunately, these walls had a common weakness. As long as the 'energy core' on the wall was destroyed, the entire wall would lose its function and explode.
Therefore, as long as they spent some time and aimed at the energy core outside the electric fence, it was not too difficult to break through these walls.
Just like that, the four of them broke through the walls and reached the depths of the tunnel.
In the middle of the mountain, they found a large yellow machine. The machine appeared to be some kind of power supply and control device. It was about the size of an apartment building, and there were six energy cores attached to the machine. It also had the function of a turret.
The difficulty of breaking through this machine was that … the space it was in was quite spacious, and there was no cover around it. If they got too close, they would easily become live targets.
Thankfully, this machine did not have the kind of AI that Peeta had. In other words … its attack pattern was fixed. Feng Bujue made use of his speed advantage to go out and show off for a few rounds, and he soon figured out the enemy's strategy.
After grasping the pattern, even a normal person could evade all the attacks. Therefore, the group took about two minutes to work together and take down this small boss.
To Brother Jue's surprise, after the machine exploded, it dropped a piece of equipment …
Item Name: Power Glove
Item Type: Armor
[Rarity: Broken]
Defense Point: Weak
Element: None
Special Effect:???
Can be taken out of the scenario: No
Remark: I heard there was an otaku who wore this NES peripheral as a piece of equipment. I believe that person must have lost his mind.
Even though the equipment was called a glove, it was not a pair of gloves but a single glove. The Power Glove was only available for the right hand.
Compared to a normal glove, the Power Glove was very thick and wide. At first glance, it looked like part of an astronaut's uniform. After putting it on, it could cover the entire forearm. The palm of the Power Glove was made from black cotton, and the back of the hand was made from white leather with a fixed texture. On the back of the hand, there was a black sensor. The sensor was connected to the controller on the arm, and the flat controller had a power light, seventeen buttons arranged in three groups, and a cross button.
Based on the description above, you should know … that's right, this is a standard Power Glove.
And regarding this thing's history, Feng Bujue knew it like the back of his hand.
…
In 1989, Mattel released this NES peripheral. It was the first gesture-operated device to be mass-produced and sold. In other words, it was the first device in the gaming industry that led people into the field of artificial reality (VR was a similar product, but it was released 25 years later than VR).
The prototype of the glove was created by Thomas Zimmerman (hmm, another MIT graduate). In 1982, Zimmerman applied for a patent for his invention and named it "Optical _ Flex _ Sensor." After that, Zimmerman went through several years of ups and downs. First, he almost lost his patent to the development department of Atari. Then, he experienced the collapse of the gaming market. Finally, Zimmerman met Jay Lanier (the father of virtual reality, computer scientist, artist, and philosopher) at an electronic concert. The two hit it off and joined hands to form VPL (the company that first proposed the concept of virtual reality).
VPL hired a large number of senior engineers and programmers to improve the graphic programming language designed by Lanier and the glove designed by Zimmerman. They added an ultrasonic tracking system, optical fiber sensing technology, magnetic induction system, and so on … They created a product called Data Glove.
This product was initially used by NASA and some medical research institutions as a data interaction device. In 1987, A.G.E. bought the technical license of the Data Glove and made adjustments to its appearance, cost, and other aspects. Finally, through Mattel, they contacted Nintendo. The Power Glove was officially released in October 1989.
As soon as it was released, the Power Glove immediately became the hottest Christmas product (in North America). In just six weeks, 654,000 sets were sold. Due to the shortage of demand in some regions, the price of the Power Glove was raised to 139 USD. It was almost as expensive as the console itself (a NES was sold for 199.99 USD at the time. According to the exchange rate in the 1980s and today, it was equivalent to 430 USD today). However …
At the end of the day, the Power Gloves for civilian use were not as reliable as VPL's military-grade hardware. Soon enough, the players realized that the gloves generally performed poorly in all kinds of games. Children did not understand what it meant by "technology can't keep up with philosophy," but there was a more common saying — the gloves were shit.
Therefore, just like many products with advanced concepts, the technology at the time wasn't enough to support the excellent virtual reality experience that it had today. Therefore, the product was discontinued and withdrawn from the market a year after it was released. The impression it left in the minds of most people was that it wasn't easy to use, that it was a scam, and that it was worse than a controller.
In the end, as an important invention in the development of virtual reality in the gaming industry, the Power Glove, like the Virtual Boy (the dark history console developed by Nintendo), had no choice but to be reduced to tears of the times.
…
"Hmm … this is rare." Feng Bujue picked up the glove. After reading the item description, he mumbled softly, "This kind of equipment that can't be taken out of the scenario should be very powerful …"
This was Brother Jue's experience. For example, the Blood Corpses Must Die that he obtained in Thriller Paradise's training mode and the One-Shot Kill Pistol that he obtained in Despicable Me's scenario belonged to this kind of special equipment. However, those two items had the ability to kill the final boss of a scenario. The glove before him was only 'broken', and its special effect was still unknown. It was quite strange.
"Huh? Isn't this the Power Glove? "When the lightning head saw the item in Brother Jue's hand, he quickly recognized it.
"Oh? You guys … even have the original version of this? "Feng Bujue asked.
"No." The lightning head shook his head. The lightning head shook his head. "The engineers said that there was no point in restoring this thing because the technology is too outdated. If we really want to do it, with our current technology, we can make a device similar to Wii Remote that is compatible with F&C, but if that's the case … it's pointless." He spread his hands. "In the end, with F&C's functionality, it's best to use a controller to control it. Using gloves to play pseudo-3D games on an eight-bit machine is better than using an Apple II …"
"Then how did you recognize …" Feng Bujue was about to ask.
"Of course!" The lightning head interrupted him with a matter-of-fact tone. "Because it's very cool!"
