Build a game empire from scratch

Before the arrival of March 15th, the players lived like years one by one.

Especially overseas players who are still learning Chinese, while eagerly looking forward to the new game, they have to study hard at the same time.

But how should I put it, as expected, people's potential is forced out.

Before that, when foreign students came to Daxia to study abroad, if they wanted to learn Chinese, it would take 3 months from the beginning of learning to proficiency in using it, even the shortest course period.

There are also many people who fail to pass the exam after studying for a whole year.

But with the all-round help of [Courses], [Teacher], and [Environment] provided by Lin You, under the temptation of "Boot Armor", a considerable number of overseas users have passed the virtual world in less than a month. [Chinese Proficiency Test]!

And with each day approaching the release date, more people will pass the test!

The data curve presents an obvious climbing trend.

By midnight on March 14, more than 13 million overseas users had successfully passed the test, excluding East Asia and Southeast Asia.

They may not be able to successfully pass the actual Chinese proficiency test, but they have indeed passed the test in the virtual world.

As long as they are not nervous, they can communicate with each other in Chinese, and there is no problem in traveling alone in Daxia.

Some even unlocked "hidden menus" at Chinese restaurants near their homes because of their authentic Mandarin.

This is actually not unusual. Many overseas students in Daxia know that many overseas Chinese restaurants have two menus, one for foreigners and one for their own people.

But this is a huge surprise for foreigners who successfully unlocked another menu - it shows that their hard work has indeed been recognized!

There was even a brief wave of imitation, and foreigners went to nearby Chinese restaurants to try to unlock another menu.

But this is not the case for every company, and the result is naturally that there are many failures and few successes.

On the contrary, every successful person will receive a lot of envious messages, and as a result, there will be more imitators...

As for those players who gave up early, they always held the idea that "at the last moment, Yunmeng will definitely not give up on them".

But Yunmeng didn't mention this until the final trailer was released.

When March 15th came, there was still no mention of this.

As a result, their mentality collapsed...

And indeed, they will miss the first wave of sales.

In the last few days, Lin You spent most of his time in Xiajing No. 3 Machinery Factory, and didn't have time to think about other things.

He wants to prepare the last big surprise for the players before the release of "Pacific Rim".

On the 15th, he neither went to the company nor to the machinery manufacturing plant.

Because the mecha has already been transported to the training ground in the suburbs—the place where he tested the old tanks 100 years ago live.

"Why did you come here?" Lin You asked He Peng beside him.

"What are you talking about?" He Peng looked at him speechlessly, "How could I miss this day!"

He also watched the mech being built bit by bit throughout the whole process, and took the opportunity to trick a wave of old opponents. Now that he is done, of course he has to witness it with his own eyes.

By the way, I can also confirm at a close distance what Lin You can do.

In front of them, the mecha that had already been assembled was still covered by a double-layer rainproof cloth, and there was not much to see.

The assembly of the mecha was completed yesterday. Before the limbs were dismantled and shipped out from the factory, only a simple test was carried out, and the formal comprehensive test was put on today.

After all, the machinery factory has limited space—although I am a little sorry for the huge footprint of the manufacturing factory, but the factory is full of workshops and workshops, and it is indeed not convenient for a large 24-meter-high mech to be used.

In particular, Lin You wanted to keep it as secret as possible and save the surprise until the last second, which made it even more inconvenient to test in the factory.

Of course, showing up here is definitely not Lin You's first choice.

What he originally hoped was to pull this big guy to the city center, and then "take two steps!" in the eyes of everyone.

But his idea was rejected by He Peng and Lu Wei without hesitation.

The reason is simple: the road can't stand it.

Even though Lin You considered the weight issue at the beginning of the design, he tried to reduce the weight as much as possible.

Let this big guy not be an almost solid iron lump like in the game, but reduce a lot of things, and make "empty shells" where they can be made into "empty shells".

But considering the self-weight of this big guy, the "shell" itself cannot be too thin, not to mention the key "bones" and the transmission components as "muscles".

The weight of this guy after the final completion is still more than 90 tons.

It sounds like three large steel coils pulled on a truck, but that's it.

But the problem is: if you really want to drive a truck and pull a 90-ton steel coil, you will not be allowed to go at high speed!

Not to mention the height of 24 meters, many places are difficult to pass, such as overpasses, street lights, street signs, trees, traffic lights, all are obstacles.

So it's a bit whimsical to use vehicles to pull the mechs in the city center with great fanfare.

——If it is 10 meters, there is still hope to find a way, but 24 meters is really impossible.

As for what Lin You imagined, with the help of interlocking steel cables, several helicopters were used to hoist the mecha in the air and fly into the urban area...

The military transport helicopter with the largest load is only about 20 tons. It is not difficult for Lin You to borrow a few, but whether the steel cables can support it is another problem.

If it suddenly breaks in the middle of the shipment...

They didn't even dare to imagine how terrible the consequences would be.

In the end, Lin You had to give up those romantic ideas, and chose the final location here, which is spacious enough and can be built casually.

After the first show is completed, I will find a way to dismantle it to see if it can be transported to the ecological cultural and creative park, and find a place in front of the company to put it together again.

—I’m afraid it’s also difficult.

This big guy is likely to follow the same path as the previous giant airship: the peak when he debuts, and then he is quickly forgotten by Lin You...

The outrageous things he built in the past six months alone are enough to open a [themed playground].

This outrageous idea flashed through his mind, but before he could think about it, Xiaomeng's voice interrupted him: "Master~ the time is coming soon."

【08:28】

It's almost there indeed.

Yunmeng's live broadcast room has been open for 8 minutes. While watching the "Pacific Rim" trailer, the players are chattering about what Yunmeng will broadcast.

Lin You said hello to He Peng, and hurriedly walked to the middle of the camera in two steps, behind him was the mech covered by the rain cloth.

"The last 10 seconds countdown!"

The live broadcast team received the task yesterday and hurried over this morning, busy making preparations without asking too many questions.

The countdown is over, and the live broadcast officially begins!

But as soon as the audience saw the picture clearly, they couldn't hold back immediately——

Lin You was wearing a formal attire, which was rare, and stood in a row with another group of people in formal attire and overalls, with hard hats on their heads, holding a long piece of red silk with big red flowers in their hands.

There is also a banner hanging above his head, with a large line of characters written on it——

"Warmly welcome Lin You, the founder of Yunmeng, to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony of [Crimson Storm] project"

"???"

"God damn the ribbon-cutting ceremony!"

"Can it be made more realistic! At least in a more luxurious place?"

"When it comes to the whole job, it has to be you!"

...

Obviously, everyone didn't believe it at all.

It's really that the environment of the test field is really shabby, and the camera is facing them and the group, so the behemoth behind them can't be photographed.

Lin You didn't take the barrage's questioning and playfulness to heart. He picked up the scissors seriously and cut off the red silk in his hand with the factory manager.

——The factory manager originally declined to let He Peng come, but He Peng refused.

Whenever Lin You was going to work, he always wanted to stay as far away as possible, but unfortunately he couldn't really dodge every time...

Although under Lin You's request of "keep everything simple", this ceremony looks earthy and shabby, but it is indeed the ribbon-cutting ceremony of [Crimson Storm], without any falsehood.

Tens of millions of viewers from all over the world in the live broadcast room will soon realize this!
