Chapter 40 The meaning of dark sand

The scene in the video changed, and then cut to the shot of the copy of the scribe.

"Next, let's talk about the copy of the scribes that I opened up wasteland and cleared the customs.

"Obviously, the scribes defined by the game "Dark Sand" are also different from the scribes in the traditional sense.

"In this dungeon, players have to go through many tests, besides surviving in prison, they also have to refute three kinds of people.

"The first type is the opportunistic literati headed by He Xueyi. This kind of people study only to get promoted and make a fortune, and make money from left and right. Although they maintain integrity and have a good reputation on the surface, this is just a means for them to get promoted. After Yang Yan was imprisoned, not only was he unable to stand up to support Yang Yan, but he also wanted to refute Yang Yan according to Wei Zhaodi's intention, and even wanted to cause a political turmoil, pull down several big figures, and let himself take the opportunity to rise to power.

"The second type is corrupt officials and power ministers like Wang Chong. They have their own set of logic, using the theory of 'saving the people first, save the officials' to describe the entire officialdom as a big polluting vat, a place where filth and evil people are hidden. Rationalize his corrupt behavior, and even want to use this fallacy to corrupt Yang Yan's ideals and beliefs.

"The third type is an emperor like Emperor Wei Zhao. He regards the world as private property, officials as domestic slaves, and common people as livestock. As an emperor, he only has his own selfish desires in his heart, and he has no people in the world. To officials, he has always used the word "Yangtze River" "Yellow River Theory", in fact, to put it bluntly, let honest and corrupt officials check and balance each other, let corrupt officials do dirty work for themselves to collect money, and let different forces fight among themselves. He always holds on to power and rests easy.

"In the dark dungeon, looking at my broken body and those officials who are aloof and well-clothed, it is really not easy to stick to my beliefs.

"But only by persevering, and only by carrying out the beliefs of being a scribe, can the name be left in history. No matter it is He Xueyi, Wang Chong or Wei Zhaodi, they can only leave a bad name and be despised by others.

"In the game "Dark Sands", there is no emphasis on the fact that scribes must be loyal to the emperor, which is a kind of foolish loyalty. On the premise of playing a good role, as long as the belief is firm and the conscience is clear, it is considered to be on the side of the common people. Completed his mission.

"As for the pawn dungeon, Zhao Haiping has said a lot before. He has a deep experience as a passer of the pawn dungeon, so I won't repeat it.

"Next is the focus of this video: what kind of game is "Dark Sand"?

"In fact, we can clearly feel that the four identities actually have one thing in common: they all take the common people, fairness and justice as the first goal!

"The reason why the assassins assassinated Emperor Yanling was because Emperor Yanling was a faint and tyrant who acted recklessly and made the people miserable;

"Warriors guarding the border town is to resist the barbarians from Beidi going south to ravage, so that the people on the border can avoid the suffering of war;

"The scribes persuaded Wei Zhaodi because Wei Zhaodi reused Wang Chong, which caused the entire court to be extravagant and greedy, so that the victims could only eat bran and forage;

"The ranger beheaded Xue Tianba because Xue Tianba was a disaster for the village and rampant, but the court was powerless to restrain him.

"So, we can roughly summarize the connotation of the game "Dark Sand".

"Through this game, players travel to ancient historical figures to complete their necessary missions.

"And the identities and events we experienced should all have happened in history. The criterion for selection is to see whether this character is worthy of his mission and worthy of the common people.

"So why is this game so difficult?

"On the one hand, it is because it emphasizes the sense of reality. Since it is 100% real, the enemy must be very smart, otherwise it is not real; on the other hand, it is to allow players to feel the difficulties of these people more clearly.

"Just like in many action games, the difficulty curve is deliberately increased to enhance the player's sense of accomplishment after clearing the level.

"If the difficulty of the game "Dark Sand" is lowered, and the AI ​​​​of the NPCs in it is also adjusted very low, the player can easily succeed in the assassination, or if a cutscene can refute Wang Chong and Wei Zhaodi, then in fact, it will not be able to achieve the current situation at all. of this effect.

"Actually, the difficulty of this game is already reduced compared to the real history. After all, we can not only obtain the blessings of various magical sorter talents, but also consult historical materials for reference. It can be said that it is an open-book exam." up.

"The most important thing is that we can try different methods over and over again. As long as we persevere, we will always pass the level. And those characters in history, they only have one chance.

"In short, I think this game is indeed unique. Although it has high difficulty in three aspects of historical knowledge, combat effectiveness and acting skills, the precise depiction of historical details, 100% authenticity and extremely high enemy AI are all important. It has constructed an extremely real historical scene for us, allowing us to experience the unknown history of the past almost in a way similar to time travel.

"From this point of view, this game is an unprecedented excellent work in the history of games!

"Finally, let me talk about the meaning of the name "Dark Sand" that I guessed.

"When I first started playing the Assassin dungeon, I thought it was a homonym for 'assassination', but now it seems that this idea is too simple, definitely not.

"Actually, 'dark sand' can be understood literally: it is intended to be a small island formed by the accumulation of gravel and coral debris in the sea, which is slightly lower than or on the same level as the low tide line. It can also be understood as a special kind of island. reef.

"According to my understanding, the reason why this game is called "Dark Sand" may have two meanings.

"The first implication is that if our world is an ocean, then the history we experience is an island. Most of the island is submerged and submerged by the sea, leaving only a small part of history to be We remember, that is, 'dark sand'.

"It's like an idiom called 'the tip of the iceberg', most of the icebergs are hidden under the sea surface, and only a small part is exposed on the sea surface.

"The same is true of our history. This game originally showed the history exposed on the sea level. We can trace the source to trace the longer and more obscure history, and explore the part of the dark sand below the sea surface.

"Another implication may be to compare thousands of Limin people to grains of sand. History is an island. It is not entirely created by princes, generals, heroes and heroes. It is composed of countless Limin people. And those heroes are just a relatively large piece of countless gravel.

"So, this is a game with a historical theme, and it is also a hymn to those ordinary people who silently created history, and those heroes who stood up for the common people!

"I am already a loyal player of this game, and I am looking forward to the future updates of this game, because there are still many evocative people and events in history. The thought of being able to experience it in this game, as a person who experienced it, traveled to Playing these heroes in the past, I felt genuinely excited!

"For other players who haven't cleared the level or want to give up, I want to say, I hope everyone will persist and cherish their internal test qualifications, otherwise when the official really withdraws the internal test qualifications of those inactive players, It's too late to regret.

"Finally, I hope that everyone can have fun in "Dark Sand", and hope that the official "Dark Sand" will release new game content as soon as possible!"

...

After Du Gang finished watching the video, he refreshed it again. This post has been pushed to the homepage of the forum by players, and the number of replies has skyrocketed.

The response has been overwhelming!

After carefully watching the content of the video two or three times, Du Gang lit a cigarette and fell into deep thought.

"Okay, the content of the report is here.

"It seems that this game is indeed more complicated than imagined. The division of these four identities is not only the difference in combat ability in other games, but also represents the different choices of the four people in history.

"When encountering a weak ruler and powerful ministers, the assassin's choice is to assassinate the king and kill the king, the scribe's choice is to persuasion with death, the ranger's choice is to act on behalf of the heavens, and the military soldier's choice is to stick to the border towns no matter what happens, to protect the country and the people.

"Moreover, the four identities and four choices also depend on the player's personality and abilities.

"This game is not only simple entertainment, but also has a deep cultural heritage and family and country feelings, which is indeed commendable.

"However, it is still not clear what the purpose of the developer of this game is, and there is still no way to explain many black technologies.

"In short, today's report has the content. But we still have to find a way to contact the designer of this game as soon as possible."

Du Gang put out the cigarette butt in the ashtray, and continued typing on the keyboard.

...

At this time, Meng Yuan was seriously watching the clearance videos of the players.

The merchant was gnawing on an apple beside him.

"So, when will I know the specific information of this historical slice?" Meng Yuan asked.

The merchant replied: "In a few more hours, it should be enough to wait for this historical slice to be closer to reality. At present, it can be confirmed that this historical slice should not be too long history, at most it is the middle and late period of the Dasheng Dynasty, and It won't be a well-known event either.

"Of course, we can't take it lightly. After all, no matter how weak the monster is, it is still very difficult for us now."

Meng Yuan nodded: "I know."

During this period of time, Meng Yuan has repeatedly confirmed with the merchants that the historical slices overlap with reality, and is formulating a battle plan based on the progress of the players.

That is the version update plan of "Dark Sand".

According to Shangshang, history is like a river that connects the ancient and the present. Demons occupy the history of the ancient times. If they want to descend into reality, they must infiltrate step by step.

Therefore, even if the slice of history overlaps briefly with reality under the influence of demons, there is still a long process.

What overlaps at the beginning must be only a small part of a historical slice that is close to reality, and what can smoothly enter reality should only be a very small number of forces in that slice.

For example, several barbarian squads controlled by demons.

As the degree of overlap between historical slices and reality increases, the power of demons that can enter reality will gradually increase.

Therefore, Meng Yuan, the sorter, needs to achieve two goals next.

The first goal is to organize the players, eliminate the monsters entering the real world, and ensure the safety of people in this world.

The second goal is to select the player to enter the slice controlled by the monster, correct the wrong history, drive out the monster in that slice, and use this as a springboard to continue to trace back to the longer history slice, and strengthen in the process The strength of oneself and the participants.
