Chapter 2: Beginner Tutorial

Needless to say, Batman is one of the most famous superhero characters in the DC world. He has countless titles, like the world's strongest detective, martial arts master, and owner of Wayne Enterprises.

As a child, he witnessed his parents being shot in front of him, making him an orphan. When he grew up, he traveled the world and learned various skills from around the world. Skills he would use in fighting crime and criminals. From then on, after he put on his costume, he became the dark knight, Batman.

In fact, it must be said that in online comics or movies, the orphan/no-parent troupe is pretty common, and quite a few protagonists have this background story. But it is rare that a protagonist like Batman can deeply integrate the grief of losing his parents into his character, becoming more than just a background story.

Some people say that Batman is powerful because he has money and black technology; some say it is because he is knowledgeable; and some say it is because he has a superior IQ.

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

After selecting a character, the first game scene shows him entering 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, like 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 when he stepped on the metal hanging ladder.

batman.

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

In just a few seconds, Chu Cheng was amazed by the graphics.

Having been a veteran of the game area all 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 are lit up and the fluorescent light from the supercomputer shines 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. Isn't it just a real person 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. It is the teaching level and the process that action games will 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 a player in the classic Batman games. He has cleared every game in the series with the highest difficulty level without getting hit and has created and edited a few videos. After he tried it, he found that the operation of Batman in this game seems to be basically the same as that of the one he played before, so there is naturally no obstacle to getting started.

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

The system then prompts you 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 the Batman helmet.

Under the detective visual effect, Batman can have night vision in the darkness. He can use the infrared imaging function to see through walls within a certain range. He can detect the enemy's heartbeat and pulse, etc.

Chu Cheng pressed the "X" key, and the color of the screen changed instantly. In the eyes of Batman, the huge warehouse has no secrets, and infrared-imaging human figures walk back and forth below.

The reconnaissance results were quickly marked on the side of the screen: seven enemies, all armed with thermal weapons.

Chu Cheng, who has played the Batman series of games, quickly understood the purpose of this teaching 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 go head-on against a hail of bullets.

Batman is essentially an assassin. He had to sneak under the cover of darkness and knock them out one by one without anyone noticing.

First of all, those who are armed must be given priority.

Chu Cheng was very confident about this. He clearly observed the action area 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 will definitely get injured. But Batman is not a normal person. His body itself is at the limit of human physical strength. 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 to mention the Batman series, Chu Cheng has also played a lot of this kind of stealth game, and all of them were done while speedrunning without getting hit. In addition, based on experience, the tutorial levels are often very simple.

"Batman!"

Suddenly, a minion looked at this side from a long distance, exclaimed, and while beckoning his teammates to come over, he frantically poured bullets at this side.

Batman's body armor took two bullets from the automatic rifle head-on, and he fell to the ground with a muffled grunt.

Chu Cheng was dumbfounded.

Fuck? How can you see me from so far away?

Aren't the NPCs in this kind of stealth game dumb? Isn't there no distinction between humans and animals five meters away?

The warehouse was already dark, and Chu Cheng intentionally chose this shaded area to land. To be reasonable, Batman's pitch-black equipment might not be visible even in reality, right?

Plans were disrupted. A prompt to throw a smoke bomb appeared on the screen. Chu Cheng immediately followed the prompt to control Batman to drop a smoke bomb on the spot, then immediately raised the claw gun, fired a hook towards the beam in the air, and dragged Batman off the ground. Get up and jump back onto the beam.

At this moment, Chu Cheng was still in fear.

I'm afraid this little grunt in the tutorial has advanced eyesight. Do you even have detective's vision?

The same is based on the experience of the series of games. Generally, if you drop a smoke bomb and then quickly rise into the air, you will not be able to find the player. Then, if the player lets Batman wait patiently in the shadows for a while, those minions will soon be out of combat, and they will go back to their posts as if they forgot about Batman.

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 the gun without saying a word, and a hail of bullets swept over him.

Chu Cheng:?

No, all the NPCs in this game are so smart.

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

Then all the soldiers gathered around and fired at each other. Batman fell to the ground motionless, and the big word "death" soon appeared on the screen.

When the screen went black, it was back to the Batcave when it was turned on. The female voice of the bat computer's electronic prompt sounded again.

"Mission failed; simulation ended. The simulator is preparing to restart."

Then the "Start" button appeared on the screen.

The 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 lesson, the quality of the game has far exceeded Chu Cheng's expectations. The simulated warehouse scene right now is just like a real one. Those minions are clearly just playing tricks, but the modeling is 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.
