Time soon came to the end of the month.

The final list of the hope cup competition was also announced on the official website as scheduled.

According to the Convention of previous competitions, this kind of national level programming competition usually causes the follow-up reports of major media.

As one of the most influential newspapers among Xia's college students, time Youth Daily will not miss the report of this event.

Therefore, the chief editor's office of the times youth daily directly assigned tasks to specific departments and asked to write a column in the front page of the newspaper to comment on the shortlisted works of the "Hope Cup" final.

After receiving this glorious and arduous task from his boss, Zhang Wei and his colleagues in the office spent a whole night downloading all 270 entries from the official website of the competition organizer.

Turning over the information, Wang Yong said with emotion.

"There are a lot of brain cave works in this competition..."

"Normal," Zhang Wei said casually, staring at the computer screen meticulously, "after all, this year's test questions are brain holes."

"The questions in that year's competition were not brain holes?"

"After all, we hope that the cup selection itself is not just a simple programmer, but a programmer with both programming ability and design creativity."

"Creative? Hey, I have a friend here who is very interesting. He actually got the whole virus out, "Wang Yong said with a smile after turning over the information in his hand." it's a rumor that the sponsor found that the computer was poisoned after running the program. No matter pressing any key or touching the mouse, it will trigger the computer to restart automatically. "

Liu Sicheng asked with interest, "what happened later?"

Wang Yong said with a smile: "what else can happen? If you look at the list of cooperative units, there are experts in the field of security from the Academy of Sciences in the main test committee. What can this little trick bring about? "

Liu Sicheng said with emotion: "it's incredible that this kind of work has been shortlisted."

"After all, it's undeniable that this is a work worthy of doubting life," Wang Yong continued, shrugging his shoulders. "If you are a Xiaobai who doesn't understand computers, this virus is enough to make you doubt life."

"Doubting life is not thinking about life... I always think it's off topic."

"Off topic? In contrast, I am more curious about the performance of this big guy in the final. It will be very wonderful then! "

There have been many such cases in previous years.

Because the performance level of the contestants was too talented, they received offers from large enterprises or were invited to study in world-class research institutions such as the Academy of Sciences to study on the future of mankind.

Now that the organizer has approved the entry of this work, it must be because of the quality of the contestants.

The voice of communication in the office has never been heard before. Liu Sicheng suddenly noticed that their boss Zhang Wei seemed to have never participated in the topic since he said a word at the beginning.

A little curiosity floated in his heart, and he could not help saying.

"Speaking up, why is brother Wei so silent today?"

Hearing someone throw the topic to him, Zhang Wei moved his eyes from the screen, leaned back on the chair, took the cold coffee on the table and sipped it gently.

"I saw a very interesting work."

On hearing this, the whole office was interested.

"Lying trough? Even brother Wei thought it was an interesting work? " Wang Yong pushed his glasses and curiously went to his colleague's desk, "let me have a look."

Zhang Wei gave up the office chair and mouse, let Wang Yong do his position.

"The game?"

"Yes, it's weird. I've played it several times."

"Oh? Then I'll have to do more research. "

With a trace of curiosity in his heart, Wang Yong holds the mouse and clicks the button to start the game.

Soon the game began.

The whole process of the game is very short. It's as short as walking to the bench in the center of the cemetery and sitting down. After listening to a 30 second music, it's the end of customs clearance.

However, as a senior gamer, Wang Yong always feels that something is not right.

"It's not strange, but as a game, the process is too... Short."

He wanted to use the word perfunctory, but the music he played at the end of the game was quite interesting, not like the free material he heard elsewhere.

No matter how the game itself, at least in the soundtrack aspect, he can feel that the producer has paid a little attention to it, so he changed his words temporarily.

With that, Wang Yong opened it again.

This time, instead of going straight to the bench in the middle of the cemetery, he walked around the cemetery, trying to find other ways to pass the customs.

However, Zhang Wei's words gave up his idea.

"If you want to find a way to leave the cemetery, I advise you not to work hard. It's full of maps outside. As for other customs clearance methods... I've tried them all."

"Must we die?" Wang Yong said with a bitter smile.

"Yes," Zhang Wei nodded, "there is only one ending."

Just now, when Wang Yong opened the second one, Liu Sicheng stood behind them and watched the whole process of the game from the beginning to the end. Suddenly, there was a thoughtful look in his eyes and he said.

"Is it possible that... The producer intended to do it?"

Looking at the end of the game, Wang Yong was stunned.

"On purpose?"

Liu Sicheng nodded and continued.

"On the surface, it's just a simple game, but it contains a very profound philosophy of life. Just now Brother Wei's words reminded me that the only outcome is inevitable, and this... Is not exactly like the destination of all of us? "

There was silence in the office.

Not only the three people in front of the computer, but also other people who are busy with things at hand, have stopped talking.

After a while, as the editor in chief, Zhang Weicai coughed softly, breaking the solemn atmosphere.

"Let's not think about such a heavy thing."

Wang Yong, who had come back, said with a dry smile.

"Yes, yes, it's still too early for us."

"But... As we Xiao Liu said, the deep meaning of this game may be here," Zhang Wei continued after pondering for a moment. "Different from those popular fast-paced games in the market that pursue pictures and are refreshing, the developers of this game focus on an old man who is dying... This is very counter normal. But now I suddenly feel that this is the finishing touch of the game. "

"It's not like a simple game, nor a simple program or animation, but more like a moving art. The old life is disappearing, the new life is coming one after another, the game is playing again and again, but the world is playing again and again forever. "

"I think that the reason why the organizers selected such works is definitely because of the philosophy contained in them."

After listening to Zhang Wei's words, all the people in the office agreed and nodded.

Wang Yong, who holds the mouse and opens it again, no longer looks down on his face at the moment, but brings a touch of contemplative gravity.

Yes, as Zhang Wei and Liu Sicheng feel in this game, it is like a moving art.

The death of the player doesn't seem to make any sense to the game.

Whether it's the tombstone, the birds flying through the forest, or the music flowing quietly like a stream at the end, everything here will not change because of the death of the player.

The option to understate whether a line should be repeated makes the heavy concept of death abstracted into something as light as a feather. His life experience is too shallow to write many things to describe this feeling, but that feeling does exist, because he can clearly feel it from this game.

Gradually, there was a glimmer of enlightenment in Wang Yong's eyes.

There are no eggs here at all.

There is no hidden ending.

What I see in front of my eyes is all that the game producer wants to express.

There is no doubt that this is a thought-provoking game!

Just as the producer wrote in the attachment of the document!
