Chapter 2: Beginner Tutorial

Needless to say, Batman is one of the most famous superhero characters in the world. He has countless labels on his body and countless halos on his head. He is known as the world's strongest detective, top martial arts master, top assassin, super-rich, and the son of a screenwriter without any parents.

As a poor second-generation rich kid, he witnessed his parents being shot dead in front of his own eyes when he was a child. When he grew up, he traveled the world and learned all the stunts. He was determined to avenge all criminals. From then on, he put on a cloak and became a crime fighter, a dark knight, and Batman.

In fact, there are not a few protagonists who have lost their parents in online comics or movies from ancient times to the present. If we ignore the dimensional wall and throw all the orphan stars from the heavens and worlds into an empty D-ball, it may still be overcrowded.

But it is really rare that Batman can deeply integrate the grief of losing his parents into the character, and even make it a part of the character's soul.

Some people say that Batman is powerful because he has money and black technology, others say it is because of his knowledge, and some say it is because he has a superior IQ.

But the truth is, the essence of Batman is the kid who watched his parents get shot. It is precisely because he has not been able to get out of the shadow of losing his loved ones all his life that the boy's heart gave birth to an avenger named Batman.

After selecting a character, the first scene to enter the game is the Batcave.

The elevator descended to the bottom with the sound of chains and metal friction. Countless bats hanging upside down in the cave were startled and flew out with flapping wings, creating a black whirlwind in the dimly lit cave.

The burly man walked out of the elevator slowly. The carbon fiber-reinforced bulletproof suit protected his body, and the black custom-made Kevlar boots made a crisp sound as he stepped on the metal hanging ladder. It was Batman.

This opening animation immediately reminded Chu Cheng of the classic old game "Batman: Arkham Origins," but the modeling and rendering were ten and a hundred times better.

In just a few seconds, Chu Cheng was amazed by the effect of the picture. Having been the gaming area's granny owner for these years, Chu Cheng felt that he still had some understanding of the industry's top game production level. But even the highest-quality games he had played before paled in comparison to the modeling effect of this first scene.

Especially when the computers in the Batcave lit up, and the fluorescent light from the supercomputer shone in the dark cave, the light and shadow and texture in the cave, the reflection on the metal casing, and the Batman figure walking to the computer and sitting down...

Chu Cheng suddenly felt that this was so frightening, as if a real person was appearing on the scene.

[The simulation training system has been activated]

A voice came from the Bat computer.

The screen went black, and when it turned on again, the Batcave had disappeared, replaced by a huge warehouse. Batman stood on the roof of the warehouse, his black cloak billowing in the night wind.

A prompt popped up on the screen

[Use WASD to control the character to move.]

Chu Cheng quickly understood that it was a teaching level, a process that action games usually have to teach players basic operations.

Generally, the operation modes of this kind of action game are similar. After playing one, you can guess the key positions of other games.

In addition, he is also an expert player of the classic Batman comic game Arkham series. He has cleared every game in the series with the highest difficulty level without sustaining any injuries and has even edited videos. After trying out this game, he found that Batman's movements in this game seem to be basically the same as those in the Arkham series, so he naturally had no obstacles in getting started.

After familiarizing himself with the basic movements on the roof, the game instructed him to control Batman to open the skylight and jump. Batman jumped into the warehouse without making a sound and landed on a beam on the roof of the warehouse, as light as a night cat.

[Press "X" to enable detective vision]

The system then prompted him to press the "X" key to enable detective vision.

Detective vision is a very powerful reconnaissance ability in the Batman series of games. It is a collection of a series of detection functions attached to Batman's helmet.

Under the effect of detective vision, Batman can have night vision in the darkness where he can't see his fingers. He can use the infrared imaging function to see through walls within a certain range, detect the enemy's heartbeat and pulse, and so on.

Chu Cheng pressed the "X" key, and the color of the screen changed instantly. In Batman's eyes, the huge warehouse had no secrets, and he could see human figures walking back and forth below through infrared imaging.

The reconnaissance results were quickly displayed on the side of the screen, marking seven enemies who were all armed with thermal weapons.

Chu Cheng, who has played the Batman series of games, quickly understood the purpose of this training level.

Although Batman has extraordinary skills, his physical fitness is still ordinary. Although the bulletproof vest can resist bullets to a certain extent, it doesn't mean that he can face Wushuang head-on against a hail of bullets.

Batman is essentially an assassin. He has to sneak under the cover of darkness and move from cover to cover, taking out his enemies one by one without alerting anyone.

Priority must be given to those who are armed.

Chu Cheng was very confident about this. He clearly observed the movement patterns of each gangster below, controlled Batman to move on the beam, found a relatively open shadow, and jumped down.

Jumping from this height, a normal person would definitely be injured or killed. But Batman is not a normal person. His body is at the limit of human physical strength, and he also has armor that can cushion the impact. In addition, when he lands, the cloak can be opened to increase wind resistance. Landing without injury is not a problem at all.

Not only has Chu Cheng played the Batman series, but he has also played a lot of other stealth games, and he has achieved the accomplishment of speedrunning without taking any damage. Additionally, based on his experience, training levels are often very simple. It would be funny if a high-level player like him couldn't pass the level on the first try...

"Batman!"

Suddenly, a henchman looked in their direction from a distance, shouted, and signaled his teammates to come over. He then started firing bullets frantically towards their location.

Batman's body armor absorbed two bullets from the automatic rifle, causing him to fall to the ground with a muffled groan.

Chu Cheng was stunned.

"How did he spot me from that far away? Aren't the NPCs in stealth games supposed to have terrible vision? Don't they mistake you for a wall if you're five meters away?"

The warehouse was already dark, and Chu Cheng deliberately chose to land in a shaded area. In theory, even in reality, Batman's all-black outfit would not be visible, right?

Plans were disrupted when a prompt to throw a smoke bomb appeared on the screen. Chu Cheng immediately followed the prompt to control Batman and dropped a smoke bomb on the spot. Then, he raised the claw gun, fired a hook towards the beam in the air, and dragged Batman off the ground, getting up and jumping back onto the beam.

At this moment, Chu Cheng was still filled with fear.

"How could that minion have 5.0 eyesight? Do they have detective vision?" he wondered.

Based on his experience with the series of games, if you drop a smoke bomb and then quickly rise into the air, the player generally won't be found. If the player patiently waits in the shadows, the minions will soon forget about Batman and go back to their posts.

Because of this, Chu Cheng felt that it should be safe after controlling Batman to fly up to the beam.

However...

"He's on the roof!"

Another minion yelled and raised the muzzle of his gun without saying a word. A shuttle of bullets swept over him.

Chu Cheng thought to himself, "No, all the NPCs in this game are this smart?"

Before he could do anything, Batman had already taken another bullet. Although his customized bat suit can prevent bullets from penetrating the body, the kinetic energy cannot be eliminated. Therefore, Batman swayed on the beam and fell directly from the roof.

All the soldiers gathered around and fired at him. Batman fell to the ground motionless, and the word "death" soon appeared on the screen.

When the screen went black, he was back in the Batcave, and the female voice of the Batcomputer's electronic prompt sounded again.

[Mission failed, simulation ended.]

[Simulator is preparing to restart...]

[ready]

Then the "Start" button appeared on the screen.

The novice tutorial had a bad start, but instead of stumping Chu Cheng, it aroused his fighting spirit even more.

Interesting, very interesting.

Although it's just a simulation teaching level, the game's quality has far exceeded Chu Cheng's expectations. The simulated warehouse scene was just like a real scene. Those minions were clearly just playing tricks, but the modeling was also incredibly exquisite.

The super-real scenes and real modeling of characters and AI all gave Chu Cheng an immersive experience. It was as if he had really transformed himself into a Dark Knight across the screen, facing all the truly vicious criminals.

Difficult is difficult, but that is also the charm of the game.

Men love to conquer, and the higher the mountain, the more they will arouse their desire to conquer.

Chu Cheng rubbed his hands, took a deep breath, and immediately clicked the "Start" button.

"Come again!" he exclaimed.
