Chapter 321 Horror game + overall sense? Old thief, just be a human being (please subscribe)

Three days flew by, and in a blink of an eye it was the day of the opening ceremony of the Journey Cup.

In this Journey Cup competition, a total of 108 game manufacturers received invitations to participate in this feast.

They are the latest game manufacturers to become members of the Ten Million Club in the past six years, with a total of 72 players.

In addition, according to the rules of the game, 36 players were selected from the tens of millions of clubs in the first three editions of the Journey Cup, for a total of 108 scheduled participating manufacturers.

The Journey Cup offline game exhibition hall is held in Liangshan. It is built on the mountain. From the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, there are 108 offline game exhibition halls, named after the nicknames of the 100 single and eight generals in Water Margin.

Based on the comprehensive results of reputation, qualifications, sales, and other data, the higher the ranking of the game manufacturer, the better the offline game exhibition hall location it will get.

In this Journey Cup competition, among the 108 participating manufacturers, the one with the best overall performance is undoubtedly Taipingdao Game Company.

Therefore, Taipingdao not only ranked among the Thirty-six Tiangang Stars, but also became the first of the Thirty-Six Tiangang Stars, occupying the best offline game exhibition hall on the top of the mountain in this competition. This exhibition hall is called - [Hu Baoyi].

During this period, each contestant set up their own game exhibition hall, which can be said to be the Eight Immortals crossing the sea to show off their magical powers.

In terms of hardware such as gaming equipment, from virtual helmets to high-end computers, from virtual game cabins to keyboards and mice, each company has prepared everything.

Not only are all the game equipment ready, but each game manufacturer has also produced many game peripherals based on the characteristics of its own games as gifts for visiting tourists and players.

The well-known industry self-media in the gaming industry, such as major gaming events, gaming trends, and gaming chronicles, also brought their teams and came to the scene in advance to conduct pre-game interviews.

As a new rising star in the gaming circle, Chu Yun also brought the team of the Game Hot Point Channel to Liangshan two days in advance and was currently wandering around the peripheral activities at the foot of the mountain.

At this moment, all Chu Yun could think about was how to conduct a high-quality street interview during the pre-game interview session.

Just when he was wandering on the street without a good idea, the cameraman's eyes suddenly lit up and he said to Chu Yun:

"Brother Chu, look, over there!"

Chu Yun followed his line of sight and found that there were a large number of game anchor teams including Teacher Ma, Teacher Prostitute, Boss Yin, Liuliu, Zhuangzhuang, Xudi, Wuwo, Eggplant, and Boshen on the street. group.

The large number of people and the luxurious lineup are truly rare.

In fact, this is not difficult to understand. After all, no matter how famous these game anchors are, they still make a living by playing games. The most popular festival in the gaming circle nowadays is undoubtedly the Journey Cup competition. As game anchors, how can they not be so popular? What about rubbing?

In the circle of anchors, it is a very honorable thing to be able to get an invitation to the Journey Cup by virtue of one's status in the gaming circle.

Even small anchors in the second and third tiers will try their best to buy a ticket for ordinary tourists and get the opportunity to enter the offline exhibition hall of the Journey Cup, just to conduct outdoor live broadcasts in this competition and gain a large amount of traffic exposure.

Chu Yun's eyes lit up, he quickly picked up the microphone, came to the crowd, and said:

"Teachers, hello everyone, I am Chu Yun from the Game Boiling Point channel. Do you have time to accept a street interview on our channel?"

Chu Yun's game hot spot channel has become very popular in the gaming circle in the past two years. Even if he doesn't know who his father is, just relying on the four words "game hot spot", Chu Yun can hold his head high in the gaming circle.

Anchors like Teacher Ma and others came to the offline exhibition hall of Journey Cup this time for traffic and popularity. How could they miss the popularity delivered to their door? One or two of them agreed immediately.

"Brother Chu, right? We've admired him for a long time and interviewed him on the street? No problem, just ask!"

"That's right, we have nothing to do anyway."

"Ya'er? How can everything be okay? It will be admission time in another hour?"

"Geez, how much time can be wasted in a street interview."

The anchor was very talkative. Chu Yun took the time to conduct the interview straight to the point. He handed the microphone to Teacher Ma and asked:

"Teacher Ma, in this Journey Cup competition, which game manufacturer are you most looking forward to?"

Teacher Ma said with a serious smile: "You little comrade, the question you asked is not very good. Of course we are here for the Taiping Dao game."

Chu Yun smiled and then handed the microphone to Teacher Prostitute and asked, "Teacher Prostitute, what do you think of the theme of this Journey Cup game?"

The prostitute teacher continued: "Although Eggplant and I don't really like playing horror games, who calls us game anchors? We have played horror games a lot, but after playing too much, we discovered that there are only three axes in horror games. Change it up again and again."

Eggplant continued: "However, who said this Journey Cup is a horror theme? I believe I still have the courage to play other horror games, but only the horror game Taipingdao is about to be released, I will feel a little scared. Because I believe General Tiangong will give us some surprises.”

Chu Yun nodded repeatedly after hearing this, and then asked each of the other anchors present a question, allowing the cameraman to record enough video duration.

He has already thought of the name for this street interview——

[The anchor team bravely competes in the Journey Cup, who will win the horror game]

After more than half an hour, the interview ended.

Chu Yun followed the anchor group and checked his ticket to enter the large square at the foot of Liangshan Mountain to prepare for the upcoming opening ceremony.

It was 10 o'clock in the morning.

The square was crowded with people and every seat was full.

When Chu Yun arrived at a location close to the stage, several other game self-media had already set up their cameras and prepared to shoot.

Many anchors even directly turned on the outdoor live broadcast mode so that the fans who could not come could watch the opening ceremony first.

"Airborne successful!"

"Wow, Liangshan people didn't see the competition held in their own home, so angry!"

"This year's Journey Cup was well organized. There are 108 Liangshan generals, and there are 108 offline game exhibition halls in the Journey Cup. This is right, hehe!"

"Newbie, please ask, which exhibition hall are Taipingdao and Laozei in?"

"Of course, it must be in the [Hu Baoyi] exhibition hall. There is no suspense at all."

"I am a serious horror game player, and I look forward to the horror games brought by Laozei."

"Wow, why are the participating games of the Journey Cup available only three days later? I can only watch you play in these three days? It's unfair!"

The fans chatted in the live broadcast rooms of major anchors, venting their excitement and happiness.

The handsome host, wearing a neat suit and shiny leather shoes, walked to the center of the gorgeously decorated stage, raised the microphone and said solemnly:

"Dear contestants, media reporters, audience members, and friends in the live broadcast room, welcome to the opening ceremony of this Journey Cup competition."

The host announced the official start of the opening ceremony.

"Bang! Bang! Bang--"

The fireworks behind the stage were ignited and exploded in the sky at a very fast speed, scattering many different patterns.

"Boom--"

"Hua La La!"

The opening ceremony was full of people, and the audience applauded excitedly, their palms were almost red, and the applause resounded through the sky.

The host then introduced the rules of this Journey Cup competition.

During the 15-day competition, each contestant must come up with a horror game according to the horror theme determined by the pre-game theme blind selection event.

The Journey Cup participating games will only be available for pre-experience at the Journey Cup site for the first three days.

In the next twelve days, the participating games will be simultaneously logged into the activity areas of major game platforms.

Players can place orders as usual to experience the game, and get voting qualifications to vote and score their favorite games.

On the tenth day of the Journey Cup, each participating manufacturer can update the version of the game, hold new activities, or release new DLC, but only once during the competition.

The judges will score based on comprehensive data such as game response, game quality, game innovation, and player votes.

In the end, the jury will select the special prize of this Journey Cup, as well as the first, second, third and winning prizes, and provide a series of financial and publicity support to these winners.

It is precisely because the quality of the games in the Journey Cup is very high every year, coupled with the innovation of playability and innovation.

After each Journey Cup competition, there will be a trend and trend in the game circle that will last for one to several years.

After the end of this year's Journey Cup competition, because of the theme of horror games, players and game manufacturers know that the game circle will be dominated by horror games in the next few years.

Whoever can make a big splash and take the lead in this Journey Cup will have a greater advantage in the game industry in the next few years.

The host introduced the competition rules of the Journey Cup in detail.

Representatives of the relevant departments of Liangshan, representatives of the organizer of the Journey Cup, representatives of the game office of the Entertainment Bureau, and representatives of the game industry took the stage to speak.

The continuous and lengthy speeches of the representatives of each company were so drowsy that the audience and the fans felt sleepy.

Not many people really listened seriously, but the scene had to be passed.

But gradually, even the fans who were always slow found something wrong.

Because until the host came on stage again and announced the end of the representative's speech, no one saw Cai Gou.

At such a grand opening ceremony of the Journey Cup, General Tiangong, who dominated the game circle, didn't even have the opportunity to speak on stage as a representative of the game industry?

Isn't this unreasonable?

The host understood everyone's doubts and smiled: "I understand your doubts. Are you looking for General Tiangong?"

"I'm sorry, General Tiangong is not on the list of candidates for this representative speech... because the Journey Cup organized a press conference specifically for General Tiangong."

What? Press conference?

Press conference at the opening ceremony?

What kind of magical operation is this?

"As for the mystery of this press conference and why it was held at the opening ceremony, I think you will get the answer soon." The host smiled and said:

"At the same time, I also want to congratulate myself and every audience present, because we are about to witness history. Let's hand over the stage to General Tiangong and welcome him with the warmest applause!"

As the voice fell, accompanied by applause, the big screen behind the stage showed a line of big words-

[Beacon Fire No. 3 Virtual Game Cabin Press Conference]

Beacon Fire No. 3?

Virtual Helmet?

Teacher Ma thought of something, clenched his fist and clapped his hands, and excitedly said to the anchors on the side:

"I seem to understand!"

"The old thief said that Jiegan No. 2 is just a stage-specific experimental product of Taipingdao in terms of somatosensory game equipment."

"What Taipingdao really wants to do is a full-body gaming cabin that includes pain. Could it be this? Fenghuo No. 3?"

The other anchors took a breath of cold air when they heard this.

If this is true, then they really came to the right place at the Journey Cup this time.

This is definitely a landmark press conference in the history of games.

Under the gaze of tens of thousands of people, Cai Gou walked onto the stage with steady steps.

He wore a light blue shirt on his upper body and white shorts on his lower body today. The overall style seemed more casual. While he was full of youthfulness, he also showed his strong aura.

Cai Gou looked around, with a smile on his lips, and said, "Welcome everyone to my special show!"

Cai Gou talked about the origin of this press conference and the strong support from Zhao Guang and the organizers of the Journey Cup.

Then he got to the point. The Fenghuo No. 3 series includes two major categories, full-body gaming helmets and full-body gaming cabins.

Relatively speaking, the full-body experience of gaming helmets can only reach 50% due to equipment problems, while the full-body gaming cabin can reach up to 99% of the full-body experience.

These two categories have different models, each of which has achieved the ultimate in a certain physical sense, and the price will be relatively affordable.

The high-end luxury game cabin can achieve the ultimate in every physical sense, so the price will naturally be much more expensive.

With the help of Fenghuo No. 3, players can achieve a holistic gaming experience of pain, taste, hearing, touch, vision, and smell in the game, which is undoubtedly a groundbreaking product in the game industry.

The press conference lasted for an hour, and Cai Gou introduced the various data of Fenghuo No. 3 in detail.

The scene has been in a state of silence, and everyone was shocked by Cai Gou's big hand.

The number of online people in the official live broadcast room of the Journey Cup and the live broadcast rooms of major anchors has repeatedly set new highs.

However, there are only a few barrages, which is really too deafening.

Players thought that the holistic game cabin was a series in their lifetime, who would have thought that it would suddenly be announced.

After Cai Gou introduced the various functions of Fenghuo 3, he smiled and said:

"Fenghuo 3 is also our biggest trump card in this Journey Cup. I believe that when players get a sense of sync in the game, many interesting things will happen."

At this point, Cai Gou blinked at everyone and smiled meaningfully: "When players get a sense of sync in a horror game, I think it will be even more interesting."

After the words fell, the whole audience fell silent.

After a long time, the host came on stage to announce the end of the opening ceremony, and everyone reacted.

The applause instantly flooded the scene like a tsunami.

"Ward! De! Fa! Old thief, are you serious? No? Such a big deal? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"Sense of unity? Woohoo, I still can't believe this is true."

"Horror game plus sense of unity? Old thief, be a human being."

"Sense of unity? Hehe, do you think it's okay..."

"The one above, what's the matter?"

"I haven't said what's okay?"

"We are all old perverts, who doesn't know who? What's the matter!"

"Monthly ticket" [Recommended ticket]
