Chapter 138 Everything Is Under Control! The First Arms Race in Gaming History!
"Eternal Calamity" was released on the 26th day.
Ke Jin got up early in the morning. While brushing his teeth and washing his face, he habitually turned on the Himalayan radio station on his mobile phone, selected a random FM, and placed it on the sink.
It doesn’t matter what FM plays. What’s important is that listening to some pleasant young lady’s voice when you wake up in the morning will make you feel happy all day long.
This time I randomly arrived at an emotional channel.
Soon, a sound card-enhanced version of silver bell laughter was heard coming from the radio station.
The sound is crisp and tingling, like ASMR for the ears.
Ke Jin felt quite comfortable listening to it, so he didn't plan to change the channel.
Squeeze some toothpaste and start brushing!
"Case, wipe, wipe!"
"...Giggle, the letter from the last listener was also quite humorous, but I still wish him the best of luck in finally cultivating this rough relationship as soon as possible."
"Swish, swish, swish, swish!"
"OK, as usual, let's break in for a short commercial."
"Gulu gulu gulu..."
"The game I want to introduce today is amazing. It is a battle royale martial arts style game jointly produced by my country Netcom and Ready Player One, "Eternal Tribulation"!"
"puff!!!"
Ke Jin was about to spit out the mouthwash, but he couldn't hold it back and sprayed the mirror in front of him with his mouth full of foam.
He stared at his confused face in the mirror, his eyes widening.
What the hell? ?
Eternal calamity?
Good guy!
What is NetEx doing?
If you don’t advertise in good media channels, how can you advertise in a niche field like radio...
Doesn’t your company know how closely the audience of radio stations overlaps with the audience of gamers?
Too much money to burn, right?
"Awesome..." Ke Jin couldn't comment, wiped his mouth and washed his face.
Put on a light gray spring jacket and pick up your briefcase.
Go out and go to the company!
Because they have to hide it from their father, not letting him know that they are engaged in the gaming industry, and it is even harder to explain that the brother and sister already have a small amount of financial resources.
Therefore, Jin did not dare to buy a private car because he was afraid that it would be difficult to explain to his neighbors when he drove home.
On the contrary, the company is equipped with two business cars.
But it doesn’t matter if you have a car or not.
As soon as I left the gate of the community, I hailed a taxi.
"Master, go to Jianglin University." The company is just a few steps away from the school, Ke Jin said casually.
As a result, before I even got on the bus, I was stuck in a traffic jam during the morning rush hour.
Fortunately, I am the boss, so I don’t have to worry about being late.
But the driver seemed to be restless and turned on the radio in the car.
It's a joke show.
As a result, I only listened to it for two minutes.
Just listen to what the host said.
"During the intermission, an advertisement will be inserted. The domestic martial arts game masterpiece "Eternal Calamity" will be officially launched today! If you want to experience the hearty..."
"Ah??? No, why can there be advertisements?" Ke Jin was stunned.
On the contrary, the driver glanced at Kerjin in the rearview mirror and said something as if he was looking at a country bumpkin.
"Young man, you are out of date now. I have heard of this game. My son started playing it half a month ago, and it is very popular! What's wrong with advertising? Don't underestimate the current game industry. .”
Yo yo yo!
Seeing that the driver had misunderstood his surprise, Ke Jin immediately spoke.
"Brother Driver, to be honest, I made this game. If you don't believe me, just take a look... Hey, where is my phone?"
Master Ke couldn't find his mobile phone.
Because he pretended to be it.
However, the words just fell.
The driver looked at Ke Jin in the rearview mirror.
Then, the small carriage fell into silence for several seconds.
"Hahaha." After the silence, the driver smiled casually and said nothing again.
Ke Jin: "..."
Damn it, you’re pretending to be cool and you don’t even pretend to understand!
Instead, he was laughed at mercilessly by the driver!
Gan!
After passing a few more traffic lights, I don’t know why today’s morning rush hour was too congested.
Ke Jin was impatient to wait, so he simply paid and got off at the intersection in front, and went directly into the subway station nearby.
However, we just arrived at the subway entrance.
The news on the Internet gave him a little shock.
At a glance, the large and small advertising screens in the subway station were neatly covered with promotional posters for "Everlasting".
Dressed in red and blindfolded, Ning Hongye holds a stainless steel sword, showing off her chivalrous spirit.
After getting on the bus, the advertising TV in the subway was also playing the promotional video of "Eternal Calamity".
Ke Jin frowned, took out his mobile phone, and prepared to be out of sight.
As a result, Perak Station was just opened.
The splash screen ads that pop up on the homepage are endless...
I changed several apps in one breath, and without exception, the ads on the screen are always there!
Ke Jin's expression became more and more painful, and his face became more and more distorted.
Neck Mom! There are so many ads, it makes me sick!
I endured the uncomfortable emotions all the way until the subway arrived at Jianglin University Station.
As soon as I stepped out of the subway, I hadn't even taken a few breaths of fresh air.
I heard a KFC store manager behind me, instructing the master and shouting: "Master, hang it up again! It's not aligned!"
Looking back, Ke Jin's pupils suddenly shrank.
I saw a master wearing a safety helmet standing on the alloy ladder, hanging a large poster of "Eternal Calamity" and KFC on the entire transparent wall.
Immediately, Ke Jin felt like the world was spinning. He was standing at the subway entrance. Passers-by wearing colorful clothes passed by in a hurry, but he was the only one who seemed to have lost his color.
There seemed to be an emotionless female voice in my mind, singing in a low voice, 'The world is isolated and I let him ridicule me...'
Good guy!
Why did the whole world turn against me when I woke up?
"Fuck! That 300 million Xuanfa???"
Ke Jin finally woke up from a dream.
It's not that Netcom doesn't know how to advertise, it's like a fool who has to go find some small radio station, car radio, etc. to cooperate.
Rather, they are doing whatever they can to advertise! !
Regardless of the real subway, bus or even any conspicuous place.
Or the mobile APP in the virtual network is pushed on the screen, the top trending item in major media, and all kinds of advertisements are inserted into every opportunity.
They are almost seamless, omnipotent and evil, and use every possible means to promote "Eternal Calamity"!
And the culprit of all this is the 290 million publicity funds that Ke Jin forgot!
It’s Jin Ma!
I'm so stupid, really.
I just thought that Netcom wanted to make a big move when it debuted in South Korea.
How come you forgot about the fact that "Network now wants to make progress too much and wants to clean itself up in front of the central media and players"?
In my case, "Eternal Calamity" is no longer considered a new product, it is an old game that has been on the shelves for almost a month.
But according to online news, the real battlefield is after "Eternal Calamity" returns to China, and people's youth has officially begun!
Moreover, Kejin still has unspeakable suffering during this wave.
Because they had asked me for permission in their earlier announcement.
In order to naturally reduce the cost of publicity and distribution, I said, "Leave the money behind, China is the main battlefield."
But the conscience of heaven and earth, I really said it casually at that time, just to fool him!
But people take it seriously!
If it is put on the shelves step by step, it will not reach 50 million in 5 days.
But what if there is a power of 300 million propaganda?
Such overwhelming coverage...
I'm afraid that even the old man who walks his dog on the street... no, let alone the old man, the dog he is holding has to wake up twice at night after seeing so many advertisements.
Totally spicy!
Everything I have worked so hard for is so fucking hot!
I want to howl!
The only thing Ke Jin can do now is pray.
I just hope players spend less money...

"I'll recharge a fucking 100,000 yuan first!" Shark, PDD live broadcast room.
The first moment the server was launched, he headed to the official website at the speed of light, downloading Eternal Tribulation while beaming.
"Ya'er, I didn't expect that this game is actually co-branded by Netcom and Ready Player One. I saw this game had a strange smell early in the morning. It's not that the game has a strange smell, but that this game has a strange smell when it is placed in Korea. You know, right? . Now that the national server is on the shelves, we are proud to return to our hometown! No matter what, we must support it!"
Under the witness of everyone, PDD recharged 100,000 yuan in one breath, and there were 2 million more gold bricks on the account instantly.
"I'm so embarrassed! Why is Teacher Prostitution so generous?"
"Gravograph will burst into laughter if you know this?"
"Ready Player One! It's you again! I know that for games of this quality, it's almost impossible to find anyone other than Ready Player One!"
"It's five yuan a draw, brother, you should know the price when you see it."
“Oh my god, it’s actually a game jointly produced by Gravograph and Netcom?”
"It seems that in Korea, he is still dominating the charts. He was rubbed on the ground by "Reviving the Martial Arts". Brothers, I feel so proud this time!"
"Okay, let's give Gravograph a favor and Wangxun will be exempted from spraying for one year!"
"If you don't understand, just ask, what kind of game is this? And isn't this game the first day it's been released? Why do you feel that you have all played it, but I look like an idiot who doesn't know anything?"
PDD glanced at the barrage and said with a smile: "Brother, let me tell you, this game is so damn fun. I really won't lie to you. I used to play the game until three in the morning and fell asleep. I woke up from my dream in the middle of the night. I woke up with a start, wondering why I didn’t wake up just now.”
After several chats, the game was downloaded.
Don't hesitate, PDD will quickly register.
As soon as I logged in, I was shocked by the headlines in the game "Eternal Tribulation".
"Ya'er, China-Korea exchange competition?"
"A total of 20 million yuan in event rewards will be shared?"
"Guigui! This company of Ready Player One has something! They seem to really want to make a big splash!"
"I'm sorry, our Chinese server has been decided overseas on the first day. Well, I've definitely decided on this championship!" PDD looked at the registration method again.
It is currently in the audition stage. After clicking to register for the competition, a link will pop up to enter the dedicated competition server download channel.
A cursory glance at the format.
From now until half a month later, the top 500 players with the highest audition points can enter the online group stage. After a week of fighting, the top 100 players will enter the official offline knockout stage.
"This schedule is quite regular."
PDD didn't say anything and signed up decisively.
Although Tian Hai, who is the first in the Chinese server, is bragging, considering that he has secretly been training in the Korean server in the past half month, it should not be a big problem to enter the auditions.
Soon, the registration was successful. After re-downloading the competition server, PDD quickly locked Tianhai and entered the game.
Except for some players who have already heard of "Eternal Tribulation" from other channels.
There are also quite a number of Chinese players who are attracted by today's overwhelming advertisements.
I opened the live broadcast room and happened to see PDD playing, so I stayed in the live broadcast room and watched for a while.
He was instantly attracted by the martial arts style that hit his face.
I was also brainwashed by the refreshing feeling brought by the frequent vibration of the knife.
I was immediately addicted to it.
At this moment, in the game, PDD just used Tianhai's golden bell to knock off the opponent's sword.
Just listen to the other side turn on the public mic and shout: "Brother, don't kill me! I'm here to snipe that damn fat guy from PDD!"
"I am PDD!" PDD roared angrily and chopped him into a dead soul with one knife.
The effect of the live broadcast room also exploded instantly, and a row of 'hahahaha' filled the screen.
…
"Three of us brothers, the requirements are not high. If we can make it to the online group stage, it will be considered a success, okay."
Not long after "Eternal Tribulation" was launched, it ushered in another nationwide live broadcast event.
At the strong request of the audience, Yinzi from next door also participated in the audition.
However, he did not choose single row, but chose another game mode-three rows.
Together with Nvliu and Pineapple Saidong, they directly formed a "Gaga Kill" team.
and conducted a wave of pre-war encouragement.
"Although our skills are not as good as other anchors, as long as we unite as one and never abandon or give up, I believe it will be no problem to get into the top 500 in the audition."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard two heroic female voices coming from the microphone.
"Unite as one!"
"Do not abandon, do not give up!"
Soon, the three entered the game.
Yinzi chose Ji Canghai. He had also seen the Korean video of Taidao Bianshao before, and deeply lamented that this hero was simply prepared for operational players like himself.
Nuliu, on the other hand, locked Ning Hongye and replenished her control position.
Among the ever-changing choices of heroes, Pineapple Saidong chose the unchanging Walnut.
"Let's play it slow and jump to the small village behind the Sunset Temple. According to my experience of surviving, this place is not bad. It is enough for the three of us to have a good meal. After we have all the equipment, we will go directly to the Sunset Temple to clear the place."
"OK!"
"OK."
"Remember our team name, the three of us will kill each other randomly!" Yinzi finally encouraged.
The three of them entered the game with great momentum.
As Yinzi said, there are really not many people here.
Even if someone lands there, they will go to the more fertile Sunset Temple next door.
"Search!" Yinzi gave the order, and the three of them immediately scattered in all directions as if the Japanese were entering the village.
After a while, they gathered together again.
When Yinzi took stock of the equipment, he was immediately embarrassed.
Among the three, the fattest one is himself, wearing blue armor, while the other two eldest girls only have white armor.
In terms of weapons, he wears a white sword, and Pineapple Saiton is a blue spear.
The women's luck is better, but not completely good.
She has a purple bow and no melee weapons.
This scene made the audience in the live broadcast room unable to hold their nerves.
"Good guy, three people can't put together a decent outfit."
"Saibo is asking for permission."
"Master Yin, let's not talk about the national uniform. When will you become the number one in Jinmen?"
"There is a bad pen among the masses, but I won't say who it is/dog head"
"Boss, if you three are so lucky, you won't be eliminated in the first round in the China-South Korea competition, right?"
While the barrage was ridiculing, Yinzi also spoke.
"It doesn't matter whether you are lucky or not, the key is to have strength, that's enough."
"Do you think I got this white sword in my hand for nothing?"
"The progress bar of the ultimate move is 68%. I will show you a cool move later!"
After he finished speaking, he called on the two eldest girls to go straight to the Sunset Temple next door and kill them secretly.
Stepping on the eaves all the way.
Before he even got close, he heard the clanging sound of swords clanging in the courtyard directly in front of Sunset Temple.
Yinzi looked intently and found two teams of people fighting to the death not far away.
Big moves and small skills were thrown around as if they were worthless, blades were dancing wildly, spears were sweeping across, and the scene was once very chaotic.
Yinzi was immediately overjoyed and called out to Pineapple Saidong who was stupidly about to run over to break up the fight.
"Wait! Don't go yet! Don't expose yourself!"
"Let them fight first. After one group is dead and the remaining group is severely disabled, let's go out and catch them off guard!"
"Now hang it on the eaves and hide it."
The two eldest girls are also very obedient.
Next to Yinzi, in order to avoid being exposed, the three of them chose to put their hands on the edge of the eaves and hang them in mid-air to sway in the wind.
The neat arrangement made the audience burst into laughter.
"Good guys, you're leaving the cosplay Sunny Day doll here, right?"
"Not drying bacon? Not drying bacon?"
"Just tell me whether to hide it or not!"
While everyone was complaining, the opponent's battle seemed to be coming to an end.
One team was wiped out, and two people from the remaining team died. One Tianhai was left standing in front of his teammate's soul tomb, raising his hand to resurrect his teammate.
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, now! Sisters, kill me!!" Accompanied Yinzi gave an order.
"Charge!!" Pineapple Saidong roared like a Hedong lion, and controlled Hutao to jump: "Hutao takes the lead in attacking!"
The three of them threw out their hooks almost at the same time, hooked them to Tianhai not far away, and attacked each other at high speed.
Wang Boluo rushed the fastest, taking the lead and accumulating power immediately after landing.
As the white light flashed across his body, the first stage of charging was completed.
Wang Pineapple gave up immediately.
Buzz!
The spear thrust straight forward, creating a blast of wind.
The gun comes out like a dragon!
Just the next moment.
"Chime!!"
He saw that the opponent Tianhai reacted quickly, and the red light on his body was strong, and he directly knocked out the spear in Wang Boluo's hand.
And what's even more terrible is.
The opponent also has a spear in his hand!
As soon as he succeeded, he hurriedly added the execution skill of the spear - Nezha Naohai!
This commotion troubled Yinzi and the other three.
As we all know, in addition to the blue hegemony body, there is also a hegemony body with a higher priority in the eternal calamity, the golden hegemony body.
The golden body will only appear when some characters activate skills, and when the vibrating sword successfully releases the execution skill.
Its effect is that it will not be interrupted by charging and normal attacks, nor can it be shaken.
This setting itself does not participate in the game, it is just to ensure that skills/executions can be cast smoothly.
At this time, a bit of cold light from the opponent Tianhai arrived first, and then the spear shot out like a dragon!
One shot pierced Hutao's abdomen, and immediately he held the spear and shot the bow left and right, spinning rapidly, dancing like a tiger, with a dazzling golden light on his body!
Yinzi and Nuliu, who followed closely behind, were not spared. As soon as they flew over, they were caught in the windmill of Nezha Naohai.
The three of them were beaten hard and retreated continuously.
Following Tianhai's horizontal stick sweep, the three of them flew out in unison!
After watching the barrage, they fainted several times.
Question marks filled the screen.
"???"
"ah??"
"Three against one, it makes one person feel bored? Isn't it?"
"Kill them with great momentum, and then fly back in a panic. It's really your fault!"
"Thousands of troops avoid white robes, but together you are actually thousands of troops?"
At this time, the opponent Tianhai seemed to have become red-eyed, and Damai's health increased instead of retreating, taking advantage of the three of them falling to the ground.
He slid closer again, then stood on the spot, the tip of his spear hanging to the ground, his arms trembling violently as he recharged his strength.
Blue light blooms all over the body!
"No! Run! He broke the Dragon King again!" Yinzi shouted hurriedly as he got up from the ground.
Unexpectedly, in the team's voice, Wang Boluo was very unconvinced.
"I have to shake him up today! Can he change the world by himself?"
He took out another spare dagger from his backpack.
Although he doesn't know how to play with daggers, Wang Boluo still understands that he must have a weapon to wield the knife.
Perhaps Wang Pineapple's aura infected the two of them.
Yinzi and Nuliu also got up and got into position.
Yinzi said quickly: "Okay! The three of us vibrate together, we will definitely be able to vibrate him out!"
"I said three, two, start! Let's vibrate together!"
Then, a scene appeared on the screen that the audience will never forget.
I saw three people facing Tianhai, all in good posture.
Yinzi also shouted.
"3!"
"2!"
"1!"
"Qing!" Nvliu took the lead in vibrating the sword, her body flashing with red light.
Yinzi was stunned for a moment, and then he managed to squeeze out a sentence.
"start……"
Female stream: "Huh?"
But before she could react, the opponent's spear had already pierced the air, heading straight towards the female stream!
And Yinzi was distracted by the little episode just now. He didn't even press the vibration knife, but he was already involved in Tianhai's second Nezha trouble.
Only Pineapple Saidong was left, and because he was standing a little off, he was not affected.
Then she was seen standing there stupidly, frantically pressing the left and right buttons.
The red light kept coming out again and again.
"Chime!"
"Chime!"
"Chime!"
"Quickly shut up! You're here to accompany us!! Charge up and hit him!" The Yinzi people almost fainted.
But the barrage was almost crazy with laughter, and the screen was filled with dense brushes.
"The two armies are fighting without killing the musicians, right?"
""We Three""
"I really like what the anchor said: "It should be no problem to advance to the group stage."
"Someone doesn't want to win, but I won't say who/dog head"
"Tianhai: Who is the stinky sister?"
"Hahahaha! I can't fucking do it anymore! Sooner or later I'm going to die laughing in this live broadcast room!"
"Oh, okay!" During the barrage exchange, Pineapple Saidong finally came to his senses and started to operate in a hurry.
She has a bit of a foundation of eternal disaster.
But not much foundation.
She knew that when the opponent was far away from her, she needed to use sliding steps to quickly close the distance, get close to the opponent, and then charge up to attack.
But she didn't know.
The attack moves of daggers are different from other weapons.
The normal attack after sliding will be directly calculated as a charge and absorbed into the opponent's face.
Ever since.
Under everyone's gaze.
Wang Boluo was wielding the Jinzhen Dao just now.
In the next moment, he finally put away his magical power, slid forward, and just pressed the left button to prepare to charge up.
As a result, the dagger emitted a dazzling blue light, and the walnut man suddenly slid forward half a circle, and suddenly plunged into Nezha Naohai's army.
The three people were shot at randomly one after another. They could not move and could only scream in pain.
Along with the opponent Nezha's finishing move, he made a vigorous and powerful horizontal sweep, and the gun body buzzed and shook!
The three people, who had no armor at all, flew out in unison again and returned to the west in an instant!
Three soul tombs also appeared closely connected in place.
Yinzi was silent for a moment, looking at the gray and black screen.
Fu forehead said two words.
"Disband!"
At this moment, the barrage effect exploded into the sky!
…
As more and more anchors join the "Eternal Tribulation" army, and Netcom wants to let 1.3 billion people know about the promotion and distribution of such a game.
The quality of "Eternal Calamity" itself is also very impressive.
In just five days, the water broke through the sky!
It even achieved the best online game revenue record in the history of Netcom.
Breaking 100 million in five days!
Everyone in Jin almost fainted from crying.
Of course, his grief was unknown.
The atmosphere in the domestic gaming circle is extremely hot right now!
After the promotion of the China-South Korea competition became more popular.
The entire Chinese gaming community has entered an unprecedented stage of excitement - everything is under control!
On the one hand, the 20 million prize pool continues to impact the hearts of all players.
It is different from those game anchors who need talent to get along.
This is a true game where you can make money if you play the game well!
It instantly triggered a wave of players’ registration frenzy.
Even the millions of servers prepared by Netcom are frequently paralyzed.
The in-game sword fighting training room is packed every day.
On the other hand.
This is also a point recognized by all Chinese players——
You can’t lose to South Korea, right?
It's a little late, don't blame me
One thing to say, Kirby Wii is such a fun game, it’s so exciting!
No more talking, I will continue to play!
