Quadruple split

Game time PM16:10

There are only five minutes left before the start of the first game of the [Inquisition Debate·Personal Battle] Final Four.

At this moment, almost everyone who pays attention to the e-sports circle, "Innocence Bound" and related practitioners around the world have put aside all the matters at hand and poured in in a manner that can almost crowd out the servers of most game manufacturers. Enter the realm of guilt, just to enjoy the upcoming game in the best viewing mode.

It is true that this is only the first game in the semi-finals. The theoretical value is not as high as the finals, not even the semi-finals and the third place game, but——

Even non-connoisseurs are aware of how heavy this game is in some senses.

To put it bluntly, if the popularity of the previous game between Awakening Dragon and Lusail was still within the controllable range, and it was more like a carnival unique to the e-sports circle than a gluttonous feast, then when the debate on guilt is At this stage, and now that Awakening Dragon and Cordoba are about to have a direct dialogue, this game...or in other words, the terrifying popularity of this game that may trigger a chain reaction at any time has finally been fully realized, and in many ways Thanks to the efforts of the unit, the entire Internet exploded at this point in time.

At this moment, the popularity of the four words "Innocent Bound" has reached a very, very, very outrageous level, and this traffic miracle is unprecedented in the entertainment industry and will rarely be seen in the future. Possibility of being reproduced.

If we want to talk about the reasons, I am afraid that if we look for any passerby on the Internet, they will be able to explain clearly, such as the relentless promotion of multiple platforms, the crazy stickiness of players, the lightning settlement of multiple well-known clubs, the high popularity, and so on. Little Clever Ghost's cooperation with many large enterprises including the Yao Group, the heart-warming tolerance of friends and users that can make one's back shiver, and, to some extent, the cooperation with government agencies in the field of public welfare, which can explain the problem just now. high degree of cooperation.

However, although all of the above are true, at their root, the true boundary of innocence and the debate on guilt have now surpassed the second place on the global hot list (the sex scandal of a certain country’s congressman) by fifteen times. The third place is 27 times (the first PV of Xue Yin’s new song "Remaining Warm Burning Body"). The core reason for this phenomenal traffic is its fault-level quality.

To put it bluntly, after nearly a year of operation, it is not difficult for anyone who has a little knowledge of this game to come to the conclusion that this thing is outrageous, even as much as an aircraft, cannon, or tank in modern warfare. Suddenly a Zaku I (the pre-production trial mass-produced mobile suit MS-05A in the "Mobile Suit Gundam Series") appeared. It has high versatility. Its birth also marked the beginning of the era of "big guns and big ships". The End) is just as outrageous.

It is true that Zaku I is not like some outrageous super-type machines that have the power to destroy heaven and earth, obliterate roads, and destroy stars with one strike. Under certain circumstances, it will be destroyed by many old-era weapons and even well-trained special warriors. It can be defeated by a single soldier, but no matter what, it is destined to become a milestone of an era, and it also has the advantages of a large number of fault levels.

There is no need to elaborate on this aspect. After all, Innocence World has been in operation for almost a year. Whether it is the uncanny protection of the player's mental state by the game cabin itself, or the realism and completeness of the world view in the game, it has its own advantages. It is a height that is difficult for other manufacturers to reach, and the ultra-high NPC intelligence that directly brings the Innocence Continent to life has already been out of the circle, and has even attracted the attention of many authorities, including some big names in the field of technology.

However, under some invisible force, all the prying eyes from different positions were blocked from the door of the Innocence Company. Among them, those eyes that were not malicious would get an explanation that was not malicious, while the other group of people did not get any malicious explanation. Exceptionally, I have been troubled by all kinds of outrageous troubles, from being chased by a dog for three streets when I went out and accidentally breaking my leg, to even dozing off for half a minute and dreaming that I was swimming naked in Lake Baikal in Siberia. For two months, he suffered from severe mental weakness and hydrophobia. As a result, the number of "rabies patients" who were transferred to the hospital during that period increased significantly, and many infectious diseases doctors who had become increasingly idle in recent years ushered in their careers. Second spring.

However, these trivial behind-the-scenes stories have nothing to do with most people. Although there are people who are leisurely thinking about the impact of this game on mankind, the world, and civilization, what people pay more attention to is its essence.

So, what should be the essence of a game?

The answer is without a doubt - entertainment.

Just like mahjong, poker, billiards, and the Dark Magician Girl, no matter what form they eventually evolve into, no matter whether they turn into death mahjong to seek wealth and kill people, no matter whether they make people doomed in dark games, their essence is still simple after all. It's just an 'entertainment project'.

So, what about the entertainment aspect of Innocence?

After these ten months of testing, the answer to this question has long been obvious - fault.

As a result, although this game has many restrictions that are not in line with commercial common sense, and even seems to be deliberately struggling with money or popularity in some places, it still inevitably became popular and reached its popularity before this game. Peak!

People who follow the e-sports circle will never miss any high-level battle involving Awakening Dragon.

There is no player who likes Innocence Bound who has not heard of Cordoba, and they all subconsciously look up at that high-ranking name when they stop and linger in public spaces.

In addition to the above two types of people, there are countless people tonight who are focusing on this game for various reasons. They may be Xue Yin's angry fans, or they may be children who are dazzled by the little clever ghost. , maybe it’s a trend maker who likes to follow hot searches, maybe it’s capital that has sensed business opportunities and is secretly diverted here. All in all, it’s unexpected but reasonable. Before the battle between Cordoba and Awakening Dragon begins. In half an hour, the number of people online at the same time in the game [Innocence Bound] reached a terrifying number, and on many platforms, media and various related or unrelated places outside the game, this battle also gained It attracted crazy attention, and the most representative one was that [Red Star Entertainment], a subsidiary of Luo Ou's Red Constellation Club, went up to the limit in just half an hour.

But this is not important to Luo Ou. In fact, compared to the one-tenth of the market value of [Red Star Entertainment] that skyrocketed out of thin air, the upcoming game is more attractive to him——

"So, I came here just to tell you...especially you, Xiao Lei."

In the conference room of Red Constellation, the man who is different from the slovenly veteran ruffian in Doumbouya City wears a black suit with hot gold patterns in the public space, has a meticulous hairstyle, and a warm smile on his lips [Romeo and the Pig] Overnight] gently patted Xinglong on the shoulder: "Don't think about winning or losing or other embarrassing things, just let go and fight hard."

"Ahem, uncle..."

Among all the young people who were silent, only Hanmei touched the tip of her nose in embarrassment and complained: "You are also a boss after all, what are you talking about."

"Want me to say something the boss should say?"

Luo Ou smiled and nodded kindly: "It's okay, then everyone, just listen up. Just now, our stock price exploded. To celebrate this, everyone in the club will be paid five times their salary this month. In addition, In addition, I specifically approve that you don’t need to consider your grades in the [Correction Debate], everything should be based on your own mood.”

"boss……"

Kunou, who also served as the coach, opened his mouth. Just as he was about to make a remark with the theme of 'It's not appropriate to do this', Luo Ou forcefully patted Xinglong on the shoulder again, said 'Come on' and then calmly said 'Come on'. Zuo Baiguang left the conference room.

Jiuzhong: "..."

Xinglong: "..."

other people:"……"

It was not until two minutes later that the gentleman, who always spoke in an exaggerated manner, smacked his lips and sighed: "The boss is really a sweetheart! Five times the salary, I admire you! Five times the admiration!"

"The entire club is paying five times the salary..."

Hanmei rolled her eyes and howled: "Does he know our salary level? Does he know what he is talking about!?"

Xueran grinned, showing his cute tiger teeth and said cheerfully: "Isn't this great? Sister Meimei, you are our vice-captain, so you can't turn your elbows outward."

"I'm sorry, although my aunt and my boss have never been married or engaged, they have worked together from eating instant noodles in an Internet cafe to what they are today. The relationship between a man and a woman is as impure as it is."

Hanmei glanced at Xueran and sneered: "To round things off, sooner or later we are a family, so I am turning my elbows away if I don't help the boss settle accounts."

Blood stained: "..."

"Don't worry, Meimei."

Because he is the coach of Red Constellation, Jiuzhong, who has more opportunities to communicate with Luo Ou than others, shook his head and said with a smile: "Although it is just my guess, but... what the boss just said is probably literal, really. If this is the case, not only did he not suffer a loss, he might even have made a huge profit."

Hanmei nodded, then turned to Xinglong and asked with a subtle expression: "What do you think?"

"To be honest, I actually planned to put aside my sense of responsibility and have a good time."

Xinglong took a deep breath, raised his right hand in front of him and shook it gently: "And what the boss said just now really put my worries away. I have to say, it was really helpful."

Hanmei immediately laughed out loud after hearing this, shrugged and said, "If I hadn't known Uncle Luo very well and knew that he just wanted to cheer you up, I might have begun to suspect that this was all a conspiracy by him to increase your chances of winning."

"Capitalists are so scary."

Xian Xian sighed sincerely, and then was kicked to the ground by Xue Ran, whose favorability towards the boss had temporarily increased by at least a thousand percentage points because of the salary increase.

Xinglong, on the other hand, ignored everyone's fun, took a deep breath and whispered to everyone who was quiet at the same time: "As the captain, I plan to give you a few words before going to compete with Cordoba."

"Ah, I know this question!"

Han Guang immediately raised his right hand high and said loudly: "Captain, do you want to say that you must watch the game carefully in a while? This kind of opportunity to watch the masters' moves is not common, so everyone must cherish the opportunity and work hard to improve themselves. "

"minus."

Xinglong did not hesitate to mercilessly criticize his fanboy No. 1, and then said sternly: "What I want to say is exactly the opposite. If possible, I hope you'd better not watch the next game. Of course, I also know that this request is nonsense and very unrealistic, so if you really want to see it, then remember it well and never regard 'me' or Cordoba as your own kind, and absolutely don't Dig into the trap and think about what you need to do to catch up or surpass us, do you understand?"

"oh?"

The gentleman said "oh" meaningfully and said softly: "So, captain, are you planning to use your full strength without reservation?"

"No, just going all out is not enough to help me defeat Cordoba."

Xinglong stared intently at Cordoba's high-definition portrait on the big screen, and said calmly: "I plan to risk my life with him."

"knew--"

Hanguang, who was about to say a few more words, suppressed his words with a quick answer. Although his race is a standard human, he looks very immature in the realm of innocence. Kokonoe, who is almost the same as himself in reality, nodded slightly. , smiled at Xinglong and said: "Go and let everyone learn a lot."

"Thanks."

After leaving such a brief sentence, Xinglong disappeared into the conference room as abruptly as Luo Ou just now, but the difference between the two was that one was preparing to watch the game, and the other was about to play the game.

…

"Hello everyone, I am the commentator of this game - Smiley Face."

"Hello everyone, I am the commentator of this game - handsome guy."

"Hello everyone, I am the commentator of this game - beauty."

"Hello everyone, I am the commentator of this game-Xiao Xiaobai."

The four commentators, who were still chatting away without looking serious, seemed to magically get into the mood at the beginning of the live broadcast, and completed their self-introductions meticulously.

Then…..

"Then, welcome everyone to the first game of the [Inquisition Debate·Personal Battle] semi-finals."

The smiling face slapped the table hard and said in a deep voice: "At this moment, any form of rhetoric and introduction is redundant. Then, please allow me to announce to you in the simplest and most simple form - both parties have been loaded into Ended, the two players in this game are named [Awakening Dragon] and [Cordoba]!!!"

The next moment, amid the thundering cheers that the four commentators could not hear but could easily guess, the big screen behind the commentator's seat suddenly lit up——

"The competition venue - the arena!"
