As the game progresses, the story behind "Portal" is gradually revealed to players.

Just like the type of game is puzzle solving.

A plot in "Portal" also requires players to piece it together bit by bit.

Including the robot's dialogue, as well as some clues in the scene.

Only by connecting these things can we get a complete story.

The difference from the dream memory is that Yang Chen combined the subsequent plot with the previous one.

It's just that players still have to use some clues in the game to understand all of this.

In the original game, the protagonist Xueer controlled by the player threw the core into the incinerator, causing an overload explosion.

Shirley was blown out of the ground, but was quickly dragged back to Aperture Technology by the robot.

Ratman then found Cher in the cryogenic freezer of the leisure center and sent an escort robot to place her in the cryogenic chamber.

Skaven decided to try to save her through cryonic control, but the Sentinel Tower blocked his progress.

He finds a panel in the wall and soon realizes that the destruction has blown out the main power grid, causing all of the freezers to go offline, including Cher.

Skaven then tried to get over the turret, but was shot in the thigh.

Nezumi uses his best efforts to patch Chelle's cryo-device into a backup grid and restart her life support system, which works fine but leaves Chelle permanently asleep until she is awakened.

At the same time, due to Cher's destruction, Whitley and many other personality cores that were supposed to be on standby in the warehouse were activated and began to maintain the aperture facilities. However, there were still problems with many cores, some with low power and abnormal programs.

After an unknown amount of time, Whitley woke up Cher and moved the entire freezing device.

While moving, Whitley began to worry about the devastation of the entire facility and tried to repair it, so he guided Cher back to the dilapidated Generation 1 laboratory and obtained the teleporter gun.

It's just that Whitley's is like a pig teammate in a competitive game, explaining what stupidity is.

After passing through several laboratories, they returned to the wreckage of the first generation host. However, when the protagonist and Whitley tried to open the escape capsule, the system was accidentally restarted.

He did not forgive Xue Er for having "murdered" her many years ago in the previous generation, but also brought Xue Er into endless experiments again, and began to rebuild the entire abandoned Aperture technology facility.

"I think it's only in science that we can put aside our differences for the time being, you monster."

Then the nightmare came, and poor Cher was kicked into the dilapidated maze to continue testing. However, this time the maze array no longer only had an electronic voice chattering alone, but also included Whitley, the "stupid" core robot.

However, as a plot of the game progresses, just like in the previous plot, Xueer was deceived.

This time, the player is told why Whitley is so stupid.

It turns out that Wheatley is the core that Aperture Technology scientists use to limit disturbing thoughts and prompt her to make wrong decisions, called the core of stupid thoughts.

The ridicule made Whitley unbearable, so he always made the player think he was a helper, but Whitley, who was just a little stupid, also betrayed the player.

The word "lie" is used throughout the entire game story, from beginning to end.

But what's really surprising is that as the plot progresses, it gives players a different feeling.

Compared to Wheatley, there are other artificial intelligence AIs with science fiction themes.

But it gives players a very 'romantic' feeling.

Angry, yet endearing.

From a program perspective, she completely despises humans and is full of pride in her identity as an artificial intelligence. Experimentation is her pursuit and mission.

From the initial contempt for Xue'er, who slipped through the net, to the surprise and panic when the other party came to the basement and escaped.

Then to ‘An experimental product might have some use value, right? ’

In the end, Whitley betrayed Cher,

But at this time, he lived and died with Xueer, and even gave Xueer a lot of help.

"Although you tried to kill me twice. But the current situation is quite pleasant." He said.

At the last moment, Whitley arranged a trap to blow up the button of the exchange core with a bomb, injuring Cher.

At this critical moment, Cher opened the portal on the surface of the moon in the sky and sucked Whitley into outer space.

He was ready to die with him, but in the end, he used a mechanical arm to pull Cher back and sent Whitley into space. ,

And after Xueer woke up, it explained that it only learned the preciousness of human nature from Caroline's personality data, but immediately deleted this part of the personality data and returned to its previous hostile state.

However, he finally agreed to let Xueer leave the circle of light, because the experiment proved that it was too difficult to kill Xueer.

"I can live forever, but you can't. It's a shame, but it's fortunate."

This sentence is full of superiority as an artificial intelligence and pride in one's own identity.

In the end, she said goodbye to Xueer.

'Do you know what my old days were like? I just tested. No one murdered me. Or put me in a potato. Or feed me to the birds. My life is pretty good. ’

'And then you showed up. You dangerous mute lunatic. So you know what? ’

'you win. ’

'In the past, I wanted you to die. But now, I just want you to go away, have a fun experience, and don't come back! ’

It ended with a single called ‘WantYouGone’.

Chen Xu, who spent a few days to clear the level, suddenly felt a little lost.

I have to say that he really likes this named artificial intelligence.

There are only three characters who actually appear in the entire "Portal".

Like the protagonist of games such as "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild", Cher can't speak a word from beginning to end.

A standard tsundere, and an idiot chatty Wheatley.

The whole story seems very simple.

Cher is being used for experiments with lies, and then Cher will be killed for the first time, rescued by the rat man who didn't even show his face but only learned from some clues, and then awakened by Whitley, and then defeated twice again. , but was betrayed by Whitley.

After defeating Whitley, he was rescued again, turned his enemy into a friend, left Aperture Technology, and returned to the surface.

It was a simple story, but the entire game journey made Chen Xu feel very romantic.
