The desert island marketing department is firing on all cylinders.

A lot of money is thrown out, and the effect is immediate, and the advertisements are almost overwhelming, everywhere.

Not to mention the players' complaints and dissatisfaction with "Chang'an", even the more popular "Pokemon" has been squeezed to the corners.

Lin You expressed his composure.

After all, the current popularity of "Pokemon" is caused by the players themselves, and Yunmeng's official flag has died down.

The hottest topic right now is that Baishuang's three-attribute spirit beast [Kraken] is going crazy.

After this little guy was captured, it was no surprise that he became Bai Shuang's main pet.

Although Kraken looked ferocious and terrifying before he was defeated, when he turned into a pet, he was pink and tender, quite cute.

Holding it close to the main unit, it feels elastic and soft, making Bai Shuang love it.

She even sent a very outrageous short video——

Let the little octopus Kraken lie on his head and use his tentacles to give himself a head massage.

At first glance, this picture makes people feel a little sank, but once you accept this setting, it is still very fun.

——At least Bai Shuang thinks so.

She was originally known for her contrasting personality of "cold on the outside, eccentric on the inside", and she has attracted countless fans because of this.

After that, she started the "outdoor battle" journey.

Witnessed by countless fans, the little octopus Kraken won consecutive battles.

Not only the spirit beasts in the wild, even against the spirit beasts cultivated by other players, they have not lost a single defeat.

Before the release date of "Iron Fist" broke out on the deserted island, Bai Shuang took the little octopus Kraken and had already won 33 consecutive victories!

Half of all Pokémon players are now looking to Kraken for a higher winning streak.

The other half are looking forward to someone coming quickly to end its winning streak...

As for the big event of [Kunpeng going south], it was over yesterday.

Many players on Qiongzhou Island took pictures of Kunpeng entering the water——

Kunpeng, which was several times bigger than a whale, swooped down from the sky and crashed into the sea, causing the waves to be tens of meters high!

A few seconds later, this huge monster burst out of the water again, smashing even the waves.

After going back and forth like this six times, Kunpeng finally left the sea, went straight up to Qingyun, and disappeared in front of everyone.

The players who were filming felt lost, but the players who watched the video were amazed by this earth-shattering scene.

In addition, a large number of Southeast Asian players came out and complained: "Kunpeng has flown to the South China Sea, why not continue to fly south?"

"We want to see it too!"

——The popularity of "Pokemon" has already rushed out of the summer and swept overseas.

In particular, Southeast Asian countries, which have cooperated with [Journey Prosthetics] and [Bafang] headbands have a certain market penetration rate, are the first batch to catch up with this craze.

As for the farther places, although this brand-new game method has set off a big upsurge, it mostly stays on the Internet. In reality, because of the shortage of [Bafang] head rings, they cannot participate in the game.

There are scattered individual users - there have been overseas users who have been flying to Daxia to replace themselves with the brain-controlled prosthetics produced by [Journey Prosthetics]. Among them, there are also blind or deaf users who have purchased [Bafang].

But the number of these people is too small, too small, not even worthy of special statistics.

At least until the first batch of [Bafang] arrives in overseas countries, "Pokemon" will not usher in a real boom.

Lin You doesn't care if he temporarily loses in popularity.

But Xiaochun was a little unconvinced, and went to find Lin You on purpose, trying to win back the heat.

Anyway, compared to throwing money at him, Yunmeng has never been afraid of anyone.

Lin You didn't agree - he really hoped that the desert island could survive, but he didn't completely refuse.

After all, in his plan, "Pokemon" will be closed beta next week without deleting files-in fact, it is almost equivalent to the official launch.

Just considering that the huge overseas market has not yet received the device, the direct announcement of the release may hurt the purchase desire of overseas players, so I plan to wait until the device is almost delivered, and then choose a good day to announce the official public beta.

Therefore, Lin You planned to set aside 5 sky slots for the deserted island, and asked them to vigorously promote "Tekken" and sell as many games and equipment as possible.

Waiting until Sunday, Yunmeng announced that "Pokemon" will not delete files for the closed beta, and took advantage of the trend to carry out a wave of publicity.

As for the small pets obtained by players at this stage, Yunmeng will not completely delete them—many players are really keeping them as pets. If they are deleted without saying a word, players can rush into Yunmeng's office building, carrying Knife asked him for an explanation.

Lin You's plan is to make the player lose the spirit beast obtained at this stage in the form of [accidentally lost].

But after the test without deleting files starts, players can retrieve their "lost" pets based on clues.

But for the sake of fairness, these pets will be washed back to the initial level.

As the most special pet [Kraken], naturally it also has the most special treatment: it becomes a purely ornamental pet, and can no longer participate in battles.

It's also about fairness.

Otherwise, Xia Yi and Kang Na would have swept "Pokemon" long ago.

Don't look at Kraken's 33 consecutive victories, if he meets Kang Na, he will be made into a teppanyaki on the spot...

Xiaochun wasn't very satisfied, but didn't say much, and started to study the big events after "not deleting files", determined to win back the attention of netizens.

In the afternoon, Lin You was busy with Xiao Meng in the Chang'an project team, when He Peng called.

As soon as Lin You connected, He Peng said a long series of words like a cannonball: "I have communicated with you, now you can get your wish."

“[Tianzhou 43] is a manned spaceship, and a place has been vacated for you. It is led by two senior astronauts, and all space missions are completed by them. You don’t have to do anything, especially don’t make trouble for them, just Just complete your trip unscathed."

"In addition, the time is very tight, you must spare enough time to come to the space center to complete the training."

"I must warn you in advance: the training will be very hard! Ordinary people who want to take a rocket to space need at least three months of training. Your situation is special enough, so the space center is willing to tailor a training plan for you to ensure You can complete the training on time."

"At the same time, you also need to read more than 100 aerospace-related manuals, and conduct actual drills and assessments of the various situations mentioned in it in the virtual world."

"Speaking of which, thanks to the virtual reality technology you developed, the simulation training of astronauts has greatly improved the effect."

"20 days, the time is very tight, but if it is you, I think there should be no problem?"

Lin You was finally able to interject, nodded decisively and said, "There is no problem!"

"In addition, 20 days is enough for me to learn how to dismantle the space capsule and put it back together again! I can completely share part of the mechanic's work, or other space experiments. Give me some preparation time, and I can also master the corresponding skills. "

"Don't, don't! Don't!"

He Peng's face on the other end of the phone turned green when he heard the phrase "dismantle the space capsule and assemble it again", and he repeatedly refused.

"You don't need to do anything, just treat it as a tourist."

It's not that Lin You suddenly became diligent and wanted to find some work to do, but he felt that he had a specific space mission, so it was better to mention the next thing.

Although He Peng resolutely refused, he still wanted to mention it.

Even if a "tourist" makes such a request, it is a little too much:

"When I'm in space, can I get out of the cabin for a space walk?"

"?" He Peng was stunned.

——I co-authored so many words that training is difficult and hard, did you not hear it at all?
