Losing Money to Be a Tycoon Chapter 1644

Chapter 1644: A Cycle

This opening made Lu Xiaoping feel that it was a little impressive.

He felt that Teacher Qiao could not refute his doubts based on this opening alone. However, this high-end approach seemed very cla.s.sy and deep. It could indeed highlight the professionalism of the video.

Thus, Lu Xiaoping did not dare to come to a conclusion now. He could only continue watching patiently.

…

“Let’s talk about the gameplay first.”

“Actually, the gameplay of the game is very simple. It is just a game with some special combat ability.”

“Players will experience battle after battle. In the battle, they only need to shoot to complete the designated mission goal. During this process, players can constantly modify their bodies through the volunteer doctor and obtain new combat ability.”

“When you first experienced it, the feeling of obtaining a new ability was very exciting. It was the first time you could climb walls, the first time you could soar in the air. The first time you could destroy multiple enemies through a modified large caliber weapon…”

“These unique abilities that are constantly unlocked, coupled with intense and different battlefields, achieve an excellent combat effect. It makes people feel that he seems to be a hot-blooded game that doesn’t need brains.”

“However, this feeling can only be experienced in a week. The more you play for, the more anxious you feel.”

…

“That’s because if you want to play from the beginning, you have to give up all the special abilities that you obtained previously. You also have to start all the volunteer modification process from the beginning. Players who already know the ending would think that the entire process is meaningless. Therefore, there is not much fun to watch.”

“On the surface, this seems to be a failure in game design. After all, in most people’s impression, the richer and more durable the game, the more brilliant the design is.”

“Do you remember Boss Pei’s design theory that I mentioned before?”

“In Boss Pei’s design, all the settings and gameplay are to let the game break out of the circle. The gameplay gives players emotions to break the dimension wall so that players can bring the protagonist into the protagonist’s emotions deeper. This approach is more brilliant than simply bringing the protagonist into the protagonist through the plot performance.”

“In that case, why can you break the fourth wall? Why can you only focus on one line of play but not on multiple lines of play? Let me talk about the plot of this game that I understand.”

At this point, Teacher Qiao had already raised the first question that most people had of this game: the gameplay was relatively monotonous.

However, its comments on the gameplay were different from most people’s.

Teacher Qiao was an experienced UP Master after all. He knew how to keep the audience on tenterhooks to attract their attention.

Then, he began a.n.a.lyzing the game’s plot.

“Do you remember what I said just now? The second cornerstone of Boss Pei’s game is to express a specific idea to us through various metaphorical world structure and easily ignored plot content.”

“In this game, of course, we have to express a specific understanding of the Cyberpunk theme.”

“Everyone can see that this game is actually echoing at the beginning and end. Boss Pei actually brought the plot of the last scene to the beginning. Then, he went to the real beginning 10 years ago to explain.”

“From the looks of the method, it feels a little magical realism. It makes me think of a famous saying: ‘Many years later, facing the execution team, Captain O’Leano Bountia will recall the distant afternoon when his father brought him to see the ice.”

“Sutter once said: ‘The novelist’s skill is in which time he chooses now. Let’s start from there.’

“For ordinary authors, traditional novels can portray the environment, describe conversations, or simply chat with readers. This is a very stable way of starting. However, this beginning is standing in an uncertain current, while gathering the past and the future.”

“He did not simply circle the land and set a time point for the beginning. He found a few characters to tell them what to do. Instead, he integrated into the sea of freedom like a fish. The past, the future, and everything around him are completely unfamiliar and fresh.”

“In my opinion, the game ‘The Future You Choose’ has actually used this opening. That’s because the leader of the Resistance, Captain Lu De, is actually not at the last moment. That’s because we are still waiting for what happens after the door is knocked. At the same time, it is not standing at the previous time point. That’s because he had already started his own Resistance activities 10 years ago.”

“Captain Loud stood on the rooftop, looking at the time node of the entire city from afar. It is a landmark node in his life. This is not a linear time structure, but a structure of the cycle time.”

“Linear time will give people a sense of oppression because you can clearly see the beginning and end. However, the cycle time will relax this pressure and bring a helpless sense of fate. That’s because you have no way of knowing when this cycle and rebirth will end. You also don’t know if the end you think is a brand new beginning.”

“Therefore, it can be seen from this beginning that this game is filled with metaphors. Similar metaphors will repeatedly appear in the future plot.”

“Let us look at the game’s ending. That’s because the entire process is to pave the way for the ending. If we understand the ending, we will naturally understand the clues buried in the process.”

“There are actually three sides to the game’s ending.”

“The first party is the victor on the surface. As the leader of the Resistance, Captain Lu De played a crucial role in overthrowing Tengda Corporation. He was supported and respected by everyone. In the final battle, he was the first to charge into Tengda Corporation’s headquarters.”

“However, he did not achieve his goal. The reason why he resisted Tengda Corporation is because he thinks that there is an embodiment of ‘evil’ in this world, the President of Tengda Corporation. He wants to find this highest war criminal and bring him to justice. He will judge him with fairness and truth. From then on, the entire world can be released from the shadow of Tengda Corporation.”

“However, he failed. The person-in-charge with the surname Wu told him that Tengda Corporation had never had a real President. Tengda Corporation is the final decision-making community that all the person-in-charge and the artificial intelligence system form in the interests of the company.”

“The reason why Captain Lude finally fell into confusion on the rooftop was because a stylish person could be killed and judged. However, how could an invisible system be killed and judged? He gradually realized that it was precisely because this was an invisible system that he would definitely revive in a certain way.”

“Captain Lude looks like the biggest winner, but he is actually the biggest loser.”

“The second party is the entrepreneur who finally occupied Tengda Corporation’s underground computer room and seized all the data and artificial intelligence systems that Tengda Corporation had.”

“On the surface, he looks like a true winner because he inherited Tengda Corporation’s most precious a.s.sets. As long as he has these data and smart systems, he can develop quickly by recruiting the original person-in-charge of Tengda Corporation. He can quickly replace Tengda Corporation as the next true monopoly giant.”

“His name and company’s name are not explained in the game because that is not important in the att.i.tude of the designer. He can be anyone or any company.”

“The game even deliberately expressed a feeling that things were becoming worse through the mouth of this entrepreneur. This entrepreneur said that Tengda Corporation did not prioritize the safety of the company in this decision system, giving the Resistance and other interviews the opportunity to overthrow Tengda Corporation.”

“This entrepreneur said that he would not make the same mistake. He seemed to give people the illusion that he would replace Tengda Corporation as the eternal monopoly.”

“But will the future really be as he wishes?”

“Of course, this is a relatively open ending. The designer did not give a clear answer, but I think that the conclusion after deeper a.n.a.lysis must be negative.”

“He is the biggest winner in the dark, but I think he is still not considered a true victory.”

“The third party is Tengda Corporation. On the surface, Tengda Corporation looks like the biggest loser. It had originally obtained a monopoly position in the entire world. However, because it did not place the company’s safety first in the decision-making system, it gave the Resistance and other corporations an opportunity to be overthrown.”

“Tengda Corporation’s headquarters have been taken over. The person-in-charge of Tengda Corporation committed suicide by escaping into the enemy’s territory. The entire company has collapsed. Their a.s.sets will be divided up. The data and decision-making system that they have will also be taken over by other companies.”

“If Tengda Corporation was a person, he would be cut into pieces.”

“However, the problem is whether Tengda Corporation in the story is really a concrete person or an ordinary company? I think not.”

“The reason is very simple. The person-in-charge with the surname Wu said that Tengda Corporation does not have a President at all. All the decisions are actually made by all the person-in-charge and the smart system. What does it represent? Is it everyone’s opinion? No. It represents the will of business development, the best solution for the entire company.”

“Therefore, the true Tengda Corporation’s will is invisible. The opinions of the person-in-charge and the plan of the AEEIS decision system, including the data and system in the underground computer room, are only intermediaries of this invisible will in reality.”

“Please think about it. Employees are part of the company. However, if the company fires them, would the company be affected and not even exist? Would that be considered a failure? Of course not.”

“Similarly, whether it is the person-in-charge, employees, headquarters building, or computer room data, they are like ordinary employees to Tengda Corporation and the company. Losing these actually does not affect the foundation of this invisible will.”

“This intangible will had long entered a new company with the data and transfer of the person-in-charge of the computer room. It had replaced the original will of this company.”

“Therefore, the biggest loser on the surface is actually the biggest winner.”

“That’s because Tengda Corporation has never represented a certain person in this game. A certain company or a certain body is an invisible will and rule. He will only go from one carrier to another. He will continue to experience a process of rapid development, monopoly, and decline.”

“This is what the game tells you through the beginning: The despair cycle that cannot see the beginning, the end, and can only stand at one of the nodes and look down at the entire city, but becomes more and more confused.”

“In this cycle, that invisible will is constantly borrowing the corpse to be reborn. Whether it is Captain Lu De, the other Resistance troops, or the corporations who think that they won are just pa.s.sers-by on this stage.”
