角色故事•三(解锁条件:角色等级60)
她站在虹霓都市最高的大厦顶端,从这里可以望见她出生的地方。
只有一个员工的快餐店,用地下室改装的街机厅,几台陈旧的游戏机,她记得,这就是她的童年。
她记得自己喜欢《波恩》:两条横线,一个光点,最简单的击球游戏,她能玩上一整天。
恰如此时此刻,无人机群的红光遍布夜空,连缀成线。它们一片一片向她袭来,又一片一片轰然坠地。
她记得自己喜欢《战轮32》:点阵绘成的星空中,八个迥异的色块,规则只有一条——成为第一,不论方法。
恰如此时此刻,各异的色彩将网络空间一分为八,来自各个组织的人们在广场上攒动,为了同一个目标——抓住「银狼」,不计代价。
她记得自己喜欢《几何战争》,喜欢《奥德修斯》,喜欢《星际猎豹》:那些游戏的得分记录上,满是不可追及的天文数字。
恰如此时——哦不,只有这个不太一样……
不可追及。哈,什么是「不可追及」?
她站在虹霓都市最高的大厦顶端,从这里可以望见她出生的地方。
她站得太高,以致身边容不下第二个人。
但她还要抬起头,往更高的地方看去,她看见星空就在那里,近在咫尺,又遥不可及。
名为「虹霓都市」的游戏,在这一天结束了。
Character Story: Part III
• Unlocked at Character Level 60
She stood at the top of the tallest building in the Rainbow City, from which she could see her birthplace.
A fast food restaurant with only one employee, a basement turned into an arcade hall, several old arcade machines — this was her childhood.
She remembered liking the game of Pong — two lines and a dot of light, the simplest of ball games. She could play it for a whole day.
Just like how right now the crimson lights of the hoard of drones filled the night sky in crisscrossed line. Wave by wave they swarmed her, and wave by wave they fell.
She remembered liking Battle Wheel 32 — eight blocks of different colors on a matrix-drawn sky. There was only one rule: Win, no matter what.
Just like how right now distinct colors split the internet into eight regions, and people from all kinds of organizations gather in the square for a singular goal — to capture Silver Wolf, no matter the cost.
She remembered liking Geometric Wars, liking Odysseus, liking Star Cheetah. The score records on these games were filled with insurmountable, astronomical numbers.
Just like how right now— Wait, no, only this is somewhat different...
"Insurmountable." Hah, what's that?
She stood at the top of the tallest building in the Rainbow City, from which she could see her birthplace.
She has climbed too high for another person to stand beside her.
However, she looked up even higher than before. She can see the starry skies within reach of her hands, but yet so impossibly far.
"So boring."
The game called Rainbow City ended that day.
