Otherworldly Architect

Outside the Blue Star Building, in the lush garden, stood a small house.

Now this small building has been transformed into the first offline experience store, providing players with services such as new games, new versions of demos and sales.

Of course, because the building itself is not large, there are only six VR experience warehouses that can be accommodated in it, which means that only six players can experience it at the same time.

And the enthusiasm of the players is particularly high. It is necessary to queue up to receive the number all the year round. It is often necessary to book a position three days in advance, and each position is only allowed to experience half an hour.

After a long time, outside the streets of the Blue Star Building, scalper organizations began to wander.

As long as you are close to this block, it is very likely that a robot will come up and ask: "Hello sir, do you need help queuing at the Blue Star Experience Center? The price is fair, and the old man is innocent. If you queue up by yourself, it will take at least three days. Oh."

Although people have repeatedly reported scalpers, they always clean up batches after batches, and it is difficult to completely cure them.

Later, the police station in the nearby street had corresponding experience.

Let's say this April 10th.

The release of "Soul of Mortal" is at 12 noon, and it is completely predictable that the scene will be hot.

Therefore, the Interstellar Public Security Office in charge of this area has already seconded a security team from the brothers in other areas in advance. Together with their own team, a total of more than 20 people have been dispatched to maintain order in this street.

It has to be said that this move is indeed a rainy day.

Some of the players who came to buy "Soul of Mortal" in advance on the spot came at five in the morning;

Some are to bring more than a dozen games for a family or company;

Others are dragging their families with them, simply moving a few small benches, drinking melon seeds, drinking tea and chatting while waiting for the release.

Thanks to the security team from the police station, together with the staff and bodyguards of Blue Star, the scene was kept stable, and the players who were waiting in line were successfully turned around.

Of course, the number of offline sales is of course much lower than that of online sales, after all, it all depends on the tellers to manually sell them one by one.

The reason why these players will come to the offline experience store to snap up the first, of course, is because the sale here is 2 hours in advance, and the second is because the experience store will simultaneously sell limited peripherals.

——The first limited edition bookmark of "Soul of Mortal"!

On each bookmark, there is a BOSS image of the mortal soul, which can be said to be very unique.

Other games are selling cute girls with thin clothes. This game is a catfish monster with eight tentacles, a bat spirit with eyes... and weird arthropods that run around with long legs?

But Bluestar, who designed this bookmark, isn't the most amazing.

The most amazing thing is that the players who have a soft spot for these bookmarks and come to line up early in the morning.

Among the people who bought the limited edition bookmarks, there were those who kissed the bat spirit directly and excitedly!

Even the policeman on duty looked at it and couldn't help but doubt life in his heart: Is this kind of thing really good-looking? Does Blue Star have any stunts that can hypnotize people? How come there are so many people rushing for bookmarks like this!

Players who have just bought the game are overjoyed and squeezed out, and they happily check the packaging of the game while squeezing.

And for those who didn't play, many people stretched their necks like swans, wanting to see how much stock there was in the store.

Some people began to calculate in their minds how long it would take for the team to get their turn.

When the scene was in full swing, some people also noticed that the big screen outside the towering Blue Star Building was also playing the trailer of "Soul of Mortal" in rotation.

And on the balcony on the top floor, there seemed to be fireworks going on.

In fact, Mingyan was putting kongming lanterns on with his employees.

"Soul of Mortal" was finally released, and one of its copyright owners, Ling Lingqi, is still in a deep coma.

Putting Kongming lanterns is to greet him.

There is a blessing hidden in everyone's Kongming lantern, I hope Ling Lingqi can get better soon.

And the NPC Adam in "Soul of Mortal" uses the AI ​​of "Redstone No. 7", which simulates Ling Lingqi's personality in daily life. Now, with the release of the game, he will also meet thousands of Blue Stars. million fans.

With the development of the game, players will also have a better understanding of Adam's life, and will play a better ending step by step.

As another NPC said: May the heroes get what they want.

The aftermath of the release day of Soul of Mortal is still spreading.

A "Black Friday" suddenly appeared in the game industry of the Sixth Star Province——

Because this day happened to be Friday, and many people in the industry directly asked for leave, for various reasons, but in fact, everyone knew it well: they all went back to play "Soul of Mortal".

People who do game design generally really like to play games, so they choose to embark on the path of making games.

Therefore, once a very well-known sequel is released, many people will directly take leave to go back to "experience the game", euphemistically:

Knowledge of popular games is also a fundamental requirement for practitioners.

This Friday, major companies are suddenly deserted.

Especially in the planning group, the absence of designers is the most obvious, and few people still stay in the company.

Everyone is tacit to each other, chatting in the work group:

"Ah, you have a cold today? What a coincidence, I have a cold too."

"Yes, yes, the weather has been erratic recently, and it's easy to catch a cold~"

"Hey, why did Xiao Li also ask for leave?"

"His son has a cold..."

After chatting, I opened the official website of Bluestar, and I saw that almost all of my friends were online, the status all showed "in game", and the game icons were all mortal souls.

They just pretended not to be able to see each other, pretended that everyone had taken sick leave and personal leave seriously, and silently played the mortal soul.

On the day after the game was released, various values ​​skyrocketed.

Many forums are open directly, and some Guess Mortal Soul takes a few hours to reach the top of the paid game list. Will Jia Games be booked by Bluestar Studio again?

Of course, the most voices on the forum still come from players.

When it was just released, players were basically posting their game accounts, and some people proudly showed off that they bought the game body offline an hour earlier.

All afternoon after the release, the entire forum was calm, almost no one spoke, and everyone was experiencing the game.

About an hour or two later, those players who were abused by the little monsters began to return to the forum with a bewildered look.

[Ask the teaching off how to fight this monster called Sisyphus? Is he the priest in the propaganda film? 】

【Help! Can't pass the first level! Did I choose the wrong weapon? Please tell me which weapon is stronger in this game! 】

[Doubting life, am I the only one stuck in the second mobs? 】

[Just rolled out of the church, and it actually shows "You have finished teaching"! ! ! Holy crap, this Nima is a teaching pass? ? ? I originally thought I lost my memory, this level is the final boss level, I've used up my milk strength...]

[The turtle shrinks and the shield regurgitates. The moment I saw the shield-wielding mobs, I felt like there was a line written on my face: Let's just let each other go...]

After a few more hours, it was dinner time, and the number of players who left messages gradually began to increase.

Then when it really came to the evening, most people's game experience time came to about 10 hours, and most people finally understood the essence of this game.

Just don't call it "Soul of Mortal Nature"!

How nice it would be to just call it "Soul of the Battered"!

Take a look at the little monsters inside, each of them can directly kill the player, making the player feel that he has no dignity of the protagonist.

The boss inside is even more terrifying. If you are not careful, you will be killed even if you are not careful, and you can't even move a finger.

The most exaggerated thing is that players have a thousand ways to die in it, and they are not necessarily killed by monsters!

Maybe there is an authentic "open door kill" behind a certain door, and a crossbow arrow will send you back to the west.

Maybe a certain treasure chest is a trap, and I finally climbed up and opened the chest, only to find that I couldn't get down again, so I had to commit suicide and go back to the camp.

The first time I encountered this trap, everyone had a "WTF" expression on their faces.

But after a lot of encounters, it gradually became insensitive.

--what? Abused by the game? Isn't this a normal thing? Do you have any misconceptions about the mortal soul?

After almost one night passed, most players finally got through the first level.

A small number of players who stay up late and play liver games may progress a little further.

According to the achievement statistics on the official website, about one-tenth of the players have successfully reached the gatekeeper BOSS of the second map.

[I was in a trance when I was beaten, the whole person seemed to be LJ, and I couldn't walk steadily when I came out, I really wanted to roll forward. 】

[This game should be called Soul of Shaking S, the main line of the game is to train players to become Soul of Shaking M...]

【Masochism training simulator :)】

[It's too monstrous, I can't beat a single little monster, but three of them were placed in this corner to beat me up! ! I'm just a gourd, why do you do this to me! 】

Because of the special mechanism of Mortal Soul, many bosses can run directly in front of it, and you can enter another map without killing the boss.

So on the first day of the game, many players did this and started a "running party".

Many people didn't even think about it when they saw the mobs. Do not! pass!

Just look at the scenery and you're done! Don't have any inappropriate thoughts!

At this time, many players finally recalled the fear and humiliation dominated by the smiling face of the leader...

Then everyone turned out the clear speech at the carnival that year.

Host: "So, the new game is also an adventure mode? Is it like going out to fight monsters at night like in Minecraft?"

Ming Yan: "It may be a little bit harder than that, and I have high expectations for our players."
