084. Three Sentences to Teach You How to Clear The Great Wedding Day
The fifth day since the release of "[The Great Wedding Day".
No one on the entire internet has yet reached the true ending.
Players were not content with just exchanging ideas on forums and websites; they created several groups to share strategies and methods, and some even created related entries on open wiki websites.
The streamer Li Bai Tu has been working on this video for the past two days.
The main problem is that Qin Tiantian in the group keeps saying that she got this ending or that ending, making everyone in the group who is following the video feel like they've been spoiled. So, as the "parent," Li Bai Tu naturally has to step up her game.
He's currently streaming live while also browsing the wiki for "The Great Wedding Day".
"That's pretty impressive, they actually came up with so many possible endings."
Li Bai Tu clicked on the folded list of endings, and the slider on the entire page immediately shortened.
He scrolled down casually and saw at least two hundred different endings.
There were all sorts of ways to die: Lu Ban drove the carriage and fell to his death; he drove the carriage himself and got hit by a car; he starved to death because he didn't eat; he was poisoned after eating; he was scared to death after glancing into the fog; he was beaten to death because he didn't look into the fog; he choked to death after eating dinner at the Hai family's house; he was beaten to death because he didn't eat dinner at the Hai family's house. There were all sorts of ways to die, a dazzling array.
It seems absurd at first glance, giving off a "this is possible?" feeling, but after carefully reading the ending description and plot, it seems to make perfect sense.
Some players even managed to survive the game.
For example, someone inexplicably typed out an ending where they slept in a carriage until the third day, missed the wedding, and discovered that the Drywater Town had disappeared.
Another example is someone who ingratiated himself with the two elders of the Hai family and ended up as a son-in-law of the Hai family.
The ending most people consider closest to the true ending is the one where the bride attends the wedding and witnesses the bride merging with the Black Tower, and the groom and bride "uniting" in the scene. However, after that, both Trist and Lu Ban are buried in the black mud.
Finding a way to break free from this black mud is considered the core challenge in conquering the "The Great Wedding Day".
Li Bai Tu glanced at the longer bullet comments.
[Is this video really that interesting? I only glanced at it briefly and then turned it off, but I didn't expect it to be so funny? So many streamers are broadcasting it?]
[Could it be that the uncle is behind this? Remember that dating reality show where so many content creators were watching live streams? It was all part of the uncle's plan!]
[What a coincidence! I've been promoting this video recently, and I keep waking up in my dreams of being in a carriage!]
This video is addictive; the creator must have a really strong sense of the wicked!
[This uploader is disgusting. First, they made scary videos about the underworld, and now they're making these kinds of videos to make people suffer. They've never done anything like what people in the living world would do!]
More like a game than a video, this "The Great Wedding Day" is a game.
Everyone is searching for guides, watching live streams, and exchanging tips on how to complete the game.
Oh, no one has cleared the game yet. That's alright then.
Li Bai Tu continued reading the wiki and discovered that someone had compiled all the things that appeared in Lu Ban's previous videos, creating what appeared to be a "Unmoving Universe".
For example, the fish that appeared in the previous episode about eating field mice has been linked by some people to the Fish-headed people that appeared in this "The Great Wedding Day" video, who believe that the huge fish floating in the air may be an evolution of the Fish-headed people.
For example, the huge, living tower is also believed to be related to the meadow that turns living things into plants.
"It's easy to see that in this worldview, there exist some extraordinary deities. For example, the Black Mother mentioned in the video may be a god, and those Fish-headed people, big fish, rat people, etc., are all followers of the Black Mother!"
Because of the appearance of the giant creature formed from the silt after the tower came to life, a streamer once referred to it as a "goat" during a live broadcast. Therefore, many viewers subsequently called the monster Black Goat.
"Although the videos appear to be completely Motionless, they are actually subtly foreshadowed and subtly connected. Moreover, instead of forcibly instilling these clues into us through explanatory text, the video cleverly hides these clues in the corners of the video, allowing the audience to piece them together from scratch. It's truly ingenious!"
Li Bai Tu saw some analysis videos on [Did You Get It?], and then he saw a column titled [Three Sentences to Teach You How to Pass [The Great Wedding Day]].
He clicked on it immediately.
"My research revealed that the options in this video differ from those in traditional interactive videos. These options are time-limited; that is, time-sensitive statements are added to the transition points in the interactive video, causing different transitions based on the length of time the options appear. This is why the same options can produce different results!"
Underneath this description is a series of GIFs that vividly illustrate the different results of clicking an option immediately, clicking after a period of hesitation, and clicking after a long period of thought.
"It seems that's really the case."
Li Bai Tu glanced at the video, casually opened it, and tested it out.
"If that's the case, it's pretty much the same in reality. Sometimes it's a split-second decision; there's not much time to think."
He wholeheartedly agreed.
"Wait a minute, if that's the case, then as long as we figure out the pattern of time, passing the level will be just around the corner!"
Once you figure out the branching paths, going through them once is just a matter of physical effort, and you'll eventually get to the ending!
However, as he continued reading, he discovered that the columnist had made even more discoveries.
"In addition, this video has a pause mechanism. When the viewer pauses, it seems as if the video time has stopped, but it hasn't actually stopped. The video continues in some way, and this pause time will change the options!"
Seeing this, Li Bai Tu was somewhat surprised.
The progress in the video is even affected by real-world actions. If you pause the video and think about it more, the options will be different. That's incredibly detailed.
Rather than saying it's meticulous, it's more accurate to say that the creator is absolutely insane!
Normally, who would put so much design into such a small interactive video?
Wouldn't it be better to use that free time to make your own game and sell it?
Is this video really available for free?
Thinking of this, Li Bai Tu added another like to the video, which already had over 500,000 likes.
He also discovered that the video received a lot of coins; with 500,000 likes, it received over 300,000 coins, a very high ratio.
The number of views is also close to seven million, and this is only the fifth day!
He sighed, then went back to read the column, where the author wrote at the end.
"There's another feature that I believe most people haven't noticed: some branches of this video aren't flat; they're 360-degree panoramic videos! You can switch to another perspective simply by using your mouse or dragging on your phone!"
"???"
Li Bai Tu was completely dumbfounded.
He hurriedly picked up his phone and, following the previous guide, carefully moved to the position at the Hai family's main gate. Then, while he and Lu Ban were looking at the red lanterns, he turned the camera.
Immediately, Li Bai Tu saw a woman with a Pale face, crimson lips, and bloodshot eyes, dressed in a wedding gown, standing behind her.
"Grass!"
He couldn't help but curse.
