Chapter 1222: A world without games (Part Eleven)
Translator: 549690339
Since Feng bujue had already decided to return, then he would have to change his plan.
The combat method of an assault would definitely be different from a roundabout one. Before this, in order to attract the enemy’s attention and maintain their desire to pursue, brother Jue had not gone too far …
But now, he didn’t need to be polite anymore.
Although his skill bar had been locked after entering this dimension, his inventory, equipment, mastery, and physical abilities were all in a normal state.
Feng bujue, who had level A workmanship and Level B marksmanship, easily learned how to use the weapons and equipment dropped by the red Falcon soldiers. He picked up two [charge] and charged back.!!
Marksmanship, vision, reaction speed, movement speed … In terms of overall quality, Feng bujue was definitely the real deal. Basically, he could do everything that the characters in the game could do …
For example, things like Xi Jue jumping up a few feet high, curling his body into a ball in the air, and firing at his surroundings at the same time … If necessary, brother Jue could do that.
Other than that, Feng bujue had another advantage, and that was … He was not like the characters in the game that would die from a single touch. Brother Jue’s defense was very high. The [I WANNA BE abelt] and the [ 19/20 mean battle armor] that had been developed for A long time were both highly defensive equipment. Normal bullet damage was nothing to them. Furthermore … With his zero-time difference calculation and his amazing physical ability, he should not have been hit by a bullet.
In summary, the moment Feng bujue decided to charge through, the red nightmare Army’s fate was almost sealed.
After five minutes of fighting, brother Jue had killed his way from one side of the camp to the other and successfully met up with Issac’s group.
Naturally, the three of them were not easy to deal with. As elites who had fought against the Bitar Army’s Terminators for many years, beating up these red Falcons … Was at most a training intensity for them.
Of course, their kill count and efficiency were not as high as Feng bujue ‘s.
To make a long story short, when the four of them reunited, Red Falcon’s camp was considered to have been taken down. The other side’s soldiers either died or ran, no longer having any will to fight.
It was at this time that the system notification rang in brother Jue’s ears.[Main mission triggered]
“What?” When Feng bujue heard that, he mumbled in his mind, a sub-main plot?
No, it wasn’t a Sub Main storyline … To be exact, it should be called a parallel main storyline. This was because the mission’s content did not conflict with the other main mission.
[Enter the “underwater eight passes” in the soul Douluo’s area]
“Oh, it’s a hint.” After opening the quest tab, Feng bujue immediately understood what the system meant.
To put it bluntly, this mission was a ‘direct prompt’ and ‘free reward’; Not only did it tell the players what to do next, but it also increased the number of completed missions and the final reward.
It had to be said that … The normal difficulty scenario was too friendly.
“Hmm … But …” A few seconds later, brother Jue changed his mind.”The system should be very clear that the so-called ‘eight underwater trials’ do not exist, right? Then the meaning of this mission is …”
(Note: a soul Douluo’s “underwater eight trials” can be said to be the most famous and long-lasting rumor in the history of China gaming. The story of this legend was that in the sixth level of the game, Youyou jumped onto a soldier who couldn’t display his figure properly due to a bug at the right time and entered a hidden level.)
“Mr Feng, are you alright?” Just as Feng bujue was thinking, Isaac walked over with a gun.
At this moment, Issac could be said to be fully armed from head to toe, a human ammunition depot.
“Ah … Of course I’m fine.” Feng bujue, on the other hand, still gave off the feeling that he was traveling light. Even though he was also carrying a submachine gun in each hand, he could stuff ammunition into his inventory and did not take up any space or weight.
“Hehe … As expected of a Savior.” At this time, the bearded man who was holding a small cannon walked over and looked at the bodies behind brother Jue that were slowly crumbling into dust.”The number of enemies you killed by yourself seems to be more than the three of us combined.”
“That’s not important,” Feng bujue said.”This campsite is just the appetizer. The battle that you’re going to experience is still a long one … You have to be prepared.”
“No problem,” he said. At this time, Lightning head also walked over with two big guns on his back.”We were always prepared to deal with this kind of situation.”
“Yes, compared to the mechanical Army of the Bita Army, these little brats are still very inexperienced.” The big-bearded man also said rather proudly.
“That’s good …” Feng bujue said and glanced at Isaac. The legendary hero of the resistance was still the same, his expression firm and steady, giving off a very reliable feeling.”Then … If there are no objections, let’s move on …”
“Do you know where we’re going?” Issac asked immediately.
“Humph …” Feng bujue chuckled.”For a soul Douluo, he just has to walk ‘forward’…”
…………
Brother Jue’s words were correct. After the four of them received the equipment, they continued in the direction they had left the beach.
Not long after, a metal gate connected to the mountain appeared in front of them. There were a few soldiers standing guard on both sides of the gate.
Feng bujue only needed a few seconds to make the few soldiers fall at their posts forever.
After that, the four of them entered the tunnel behind the metal door.
The ceiling of the tunnel was made of a black metal plate, and the lighting equipment was embedded in the ceiling, extending into the distance like a White snake of light. The walls on both sides of the tunnel were gray, and the ground was painted blue.
Since there was no fork in the road, Feng bujue’s group followed the only path.
Along the way, the four of them encountered many Red Falcon soldiers in green clothes. The combat power of these soldiers was obviously higher than the ones they had encountered at the camp, but they still did not pose much of a threat to brother Jue’s group.
In addition to the high-ranking soldiers, there was a red “defensive wall” in the tunnel at regular intervals. There were machine guns and cannons on the wall, and the bottom of the wall would constantly generate a kind of rolling mine that rolled along the ground. Within a certain distance from the defensive wall, there was also an electric grid.
Fortunately … These walls all shared a common weakness. As long as the “energy nucleus” on the wall was destroyed, the entire wall would lose its function and explode.
Therefore, as long as he spent some time and aimed at the energy nuclei outside the electric net, it would not be too difficult to break through these walls.
Just like that … The four of them killed their way through the walls and reached the depths of the tunnel.
In the center of the mountain, they found a huge yellowish-brown Machine. It seemed to be some kind of power supply and control device. It was as big as an apartment, with six energy cores and a battery function.
The difficulty in breaking through this machine was … It was located in a rather spacious space, and there was no cover around it. If they approached rashly, they would easily become live targets.
Fortunately, this machine did not have an AI like the one in the tower. In other words … Its attack mode was fixed. Feng bujue used his advantage in speed to go out and show off his positioning. Soon, he understood the enemy’s strategy.
After grasping the pattern, even an ordinary person could Dodge all the attacks. Therefore, it took them about two minutes to defeat the mini-BOSS.
What surprised Brother Jue was that … After the machine exploded, it even dropped a piece of equipment …
Name: power gloves
[Type: Armor]
[Rarity: broken]
[Defense: weak]
[Attribute: none]
[Special effect: ???]
“Able to bring out of the scenario: no
[Remark: I heard that an otaku wore this NES accessory as a piece of equipment. I think he’s crazy.]
Although the equipment was called a glove, it was not a pair of “one-pair gloves”, but a “one glove”(the Power Glove was only the right-hand version).
Compared to ordinary gloves, the power gloves were very thick and wide. At first glance, they looked like part of an astronaut’s uniform. After putting them on, they could almost cover the entire forearm. The palm part of the power gloves was made of black cotton while the back of the hand was made of white leather with fixed patterns. On the back of the hand, there was a black sensor, which was connected to the controller on the arm. The flat controller also had a power light, seventeen buttons arranged in three groups, and a cross.
From the above description, you should know that this is a standard Power Glove.
And Feng bujue knew the history of this thing like the back of his hand …
…………
In 1989, the company Mattel released this NES peripheral. It was the first hand-gesture control device to be mass-produced and sold. It could also be said that in the gaming field … It was the first device to lead people into the field of artificial reality (VR was a similar product, but 25 years later).
The original design of the gloves was created by Thomas Zimmerman (well, another MIT product). In 1982, he applied for a patent for his invention and named it the “refraction Sensor”. After that, Zimerman had been through many years … First, his patent had almost been bought by yadali’s research Department, then the game market had collapsed. Finally … At an electronic concert, Zimerman met Jeron Lanier (father of virtual reality, computer scientist, artist, philosopher). The two hit it off and formed the LPL (the company that first proposed the virtual reality concept) company.
The VPL had hired a large number of senior engineers and programmers to improve the graphic programming language designed by rannier and the gloves designed by Zimerman. They had added an ultrasonic tracking system, optical fiber induction technology, magnetic induction system, and so on … To create a product called “Data love.”
This product was initially used by NASA and some medical research institutions as a data interaction device. In 1987, A.G.E. Purchased the technical license for the data gloves and made adjustments in terms of appearance, cost, and other aspects. In the end, they got in touch with Nintendo through the company Mattel … The “power gloves” were officially launched in October 1989.
As soon as it was launched, the power gloves immediately became the most popular Christmas product (North America). In just six weeks, 654000 sets were sold. Due to the lack of supply in some areas, the price soared to $139, almost catching up to the host unit itself. (A NES was sold for $199.99 back then. According to the exchange rate in the 1980s and today, it was equivalent to $430 today.) However …
The civilian “power gloves” were not as reliable as the military-grade hardware that the VPL had developed. Soon, the players realized that the glove’s performance in various games was generally terrible. The children didn’t understand what “technology can’t keep up with the concept” meant, but there was a more common saying that this thing was sh * t.
Therefore, just like many products with advanced concepts, the technology at that time wasn’t advanced enough to support the excellent virtual reality experience of today. Therefore, this product was discontinued after a year.’Not good’,’scammed’,’not as good as a controller’, and other impressions.
In the end, as an invention of great significance in the virtual reality development of the gaming world, the power gloves were like the Virtual Boy (a dark history mainframe that was developed by Nintendo). They were helplessly reduced to tears of the times.

“Hmm…This is rare.” Feng bujue picked up the glove and read the item description. He mumbled,”an item like this that can not be taken out of the scenario should be very powerful …”
This was indeed from brother Jue’s experience. For example, the zombie must die that he had obtained from Thriller Paradise’s training mode and the one-shot pistol that he had obtained from the scenario, Despicable Me, were all special equipment. However, those two items had the ability to kill the scenario’s Big BOSS in seconds … The glove before him was only ‘run-down’, and its special effect was still unknown. It was indeed a little strange.
“Eh? Isn’t that a Power Glove?” When he saw the item in brother Jue’s hand, lightning quickly recognized it.
“Oh? Do you … Even have a copy of this?” Feng bujue asked.
“No, I didn ‘t,” Lightning shook her head.”The engineers said that there was no point in restoring this thing because the technology was too backward. With our current technology, we can definitely make a device similar to Wii_Remote that is compatible with FC. However, if that’s the case … It would be meaningless. ” He spread out his hands.”At the end of the day, with the functions of FC, it’s best to use a controller. Using gloves or something to play a pseudo 3D game on an 8-bit computer is like using the entire Apple II …”
“Then how did you recognize …” Feng bujue was about to ask.
“Do I even need to say that?” Lightning head interrupted in a matter-of-fact tone,””Because it’s very cooooooooooool!”
