Build a game empire from scratch

America's users have fought hard to regain the right to return to the virtual world.

It's certainly a victory to write home about.

But after returning to the virtual world, the first thing they had to receive was some bad news—because of the disconnection time ranging from five days to one week, they inevitably missed a lot.

The last few rounds of [Freedom Day], especially the final battle, they definitely missed it.

[No. 1 Martial Arts Tournament in the World·Sword Test World] It’s okay, anyway, there isn’t a single player or team in the top 64 in America, and at most, they missed the chance to watch the scene, so they can only watch the broadcast—— Yunmeng’s For big events, broadcasting rights can be sold everywhere, so it's not difficult to see them.

But as far as this matter is concerned, it is not easy to say whether it is a good thing or a bad thing.

Because at the quarter-finals of the sword test world, the second nuclear explosion occurred——

The host and the narrator were giving a fast and passionate narration. Suddenly, a blue light flashed, and the surveillance cameras from all angles lost the picture at the same time.

But the director already had experience, he was only briefly confused for less than two seconds, and quickly reacted, immediately pulling the perspective to a very far distance.

In the live broadcast room, the host and commentator also fell silent, silently enjoying the huge mushroom cloud slowly rising and dissipating in Chang'an City together with the audience.

One-third of Chang'an City was reduced to ruins in this nuclear explosion.

As for the audience...

Whether it was the spectators who were lucky enough to grab the front row, or the spectators who were unlucky and could only stand on the top of the building to watch the excitement from a distance, all of them were turned into fly ash in this nuclear explosion.

Even because there were too many and too dense dead people at the same moment, a rare resurrection effect was successfully triggered——

The player no longer turns into light and quickly dissipates, but turns into thin rays of light, flowing vertically into the sky like golden quicksand.

It looks like a rain of light reversed by time, so beautiful that it is even dreamy.

Of course, this is the feeling of the audience in the live broadcast room.

The feeling of the audience is not so good...

They were enjoying watching the game, when suddenly a nuclear explosion hit their faces, who could resist this!

What's more interesting is: because both players died together, this "unlimited battle" that consumed two [Swords from Heaven] and reimbursed one-third of Chang'an City ended in a draw.

It's like fighting in vain.

Both contestants—one who signed the [virtual NPT] and one who had never been seen before—were both a little depressed.

The only good news is: "A nuclear explosion occurred during the game" was originally expected by Lin You and the development team, so there was a plan in advance.

The development team quickly dispatched and set up a brand new "wasteland wind" arena on the crater.

The game continued smoothly.

It wasn't until 0 o'clock at night that Chang'an City was automatically repaired and returned to the state before the nuclear explosion.

And when the users of America ended their protest and returned to the virtual world, [Try the Sword World] was already over.

The top three teams and individuals have already been decided, and even the process of [casting swords] has already started.

—— Yunmeng followed the past traditions, while forging swords for these players in the virtual world, he would also forge an identical sword in reality and deliver it to the players himself.

...

In addition, the [Global Professional League] is not over yet, and there was originally a team in the America Division that entered the top 8.

But the problem is that this team was unlucky to choose a network agent without any background, and as a result, they were disconnected for six days and missed their game directly.

The [Global Professional League] has been fully formalized—although Lin You still requested to retain the audition stage and allow all player teams to have the opportunity to participate in it, it is almost impossible for private teams to compete with the professional players who train every day, so that the players quickly They spontaneously divided the two stages of the [Global Professional League] into two links: [Preheating for Auditions] and [Main Match].

The schedule and various systems of the [main match] are very strict, not only involving players and audiences from many countries, but also involving a large number of commercial cooperation - broadcasting, advertising, sponsorship... all things, it is impossible for a single team Easily change schedules.

So it's a pity: Team America lost without a fight due to their absence.

Of course, it's not without good news.

Yunmeng officially announced the establishment of a new department: [Event Competition Department].

This department will absorb a large number of talents and make overall arrangements for Yunmeng's e-sports events.

All e-sports clubs congratulated the establishment of this department immediately.

Because this means that Yunmeng has really started to attach importance to game events, and with Yunmeng's attention, a systematic, stable, and long-term event environment will be built soon!

They, the professional clubs that have withstood the impact of the transformation of the game form, can finally take the big ship of Yunmeng, enter the new system from the old system, and no longer have to worry about being eliminated by this wave.

And after the establishment of this department, the first announcement released to the outside world was: [Carefully considering, docking with the "Battlefield" development team, designing a smaller battlefield mode, and incorporating it into the professional competition arrangement. ]

[Small battlefield] has always been a voice among players, and now there is finally the dawn of realization.

Players all over the world are delighted by this news, and the newly returned American players are no exception.

Another good news is: [Track Editing Gameplay] has also set up a special project team, the name is simple and straightforward, it is called - [Track Team].

Although the number of teams is incomparable with the competition department, they have a lot to do——

Starting from March, they will reproduce the most famous tracks in the world into the virtual world one by one, adding [official tracks] for players to experience.

Not just car tracks such as endurance races, rally races, and cross-country races, but also classic road cycling races, motorcycle races, and even skateboarding and skiing...

All kinds of classic scenes and tracks in reality will be included in the virtual world one after another.

Not only that, this project also inspired Lin You——

Why only reproduce virtual cities?

Obviously there are so many beautiful scenery and unique scenery in the world: Victoria Falls, Belize Great Blue Hole, Colorado Canyon, Yunnan Stone Forest, Baikal Ice Lake, Sky Realm, Fluorescent Beach...

Why not reproduce it into the virtual world?

These scenery alone can make Mirage sell another tens of millions of units!

There is no need to doubt Lin You's ability to act—especially when he only needs to use his words, he quickly asked Qiao Nanyu to put out a new recruitment demand, and began to set up such a team that is responsible for collecting natural scenery and recreating it in the virtual world. department.

In terms of process, collecting natural scenery is much easier than replicating urban scenery, and there are too many links that need to apply and wrangling.

When reappearing in the virtual world, relatively simple natural elements are much easier than extremely complex modern cities.

Lin You was even a little surprised: Why did I only think of this now?

With his support, this department quickly took shape and was "assigned" by him to all over the country and even around the world to start recording natural scenery.

...

This is also Yunmeng's last big move in the eyes of players before the release of "Pacific Rim".

After that, no new news was leaked, and even the three-day small-scale player test was completed quietly.

Then, the release day arrived.
