In the game voting rankings on the first day of the Star Cup competition, Taipingdao's "Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice" won first place with more than 820,000 votes.

In the next few days, not only the Xingchen Cup offline exhibition hall conference, but also Sagittarius, where Taipingdao is located, was extremely popular with huge crowds of people.

Even on major online game platforms, the sales of "Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice" have made great strides, with sales rising steadily.

And this is even before Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is released on the Penguin gaming platform.

During the Star Cup competition, feel free to click on the major live broadcast platforms to view the anchor live broadcast room in any game area.

Except for some anchors who had to live broadcast other Star Cup games because they happened to be live broadcasting and received commercial orders, most anchors chose to live broadcast "Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice" during this period.

Throughout the game area, the sound of cyber hammering could be heard one after another, and the difficult journey made every anchor's blood pressure soar but they were still extremely addicted.

Taiping Road, Inc.

Zhu Ping'an sat on the sofa and looked at Cai Gou across from him, skillfully using various tea sets to make a simple Kung Fu tea.

Cai Gou picked up a cup of tea and handed it to Zhu Pingan: "Uncle Emperor, try it and see how it tastes!"

Zhu Pingan took the tea cup, took a sip and said with a smile: "I drink tea just like a cow chewing peonies, how can I taste anything."

After the two chatted casually for a while, Zhu Pingan took out a document and reported:

"The game sales of "Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice" in the past three days have exceeded 2.6 million copies, and the peak number of people online at the same time is 1.8 million."

"And we have obtained more than 3 million voting data, and we have a gap of 500,000 votes from the second place in the rankings."

The game sales and voting data of "Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice" are among the best among the five Star Cup competitions held in the past two decades.

Upon seeing this, Cai Gou nodded with great satisfaction:

"That's right, the monk is still guarding the exhibition hall and the meeting. There should be nothing wrong next, right?"

"Forehead……"

When Zhu Ping'an heard this, the expression on his face was slightly unnatural and a little ashamed.

Cai Gou saw Zhu Pingan's expression, patted his thigh and joked:

"What's wrong with mother-in-law and mother-in-law? If you have anything to say, just say it directly?"

"Hey." Zhu Ping'an explained:

"This Star Cup competition lasts for half a month. On the eighth day, major game manufacturers can conduct a wave of version updates or activities."

"But none of the plans I made before seem to work..."

It is almost a common practice of major game festivals to allow game manufacturers to carry out a wave of updates or activities in the middle of the game festival competition.

In this way, there is no doubt that it will bring greater variables to the game festival, making the entire game more exciting and enjoyable to watch.

From the College Student Game Festival to the Star Cup competition, even if the specifications are different, the time is different, and the influence is different, the organizers always like to come up with something like this.

When Cai Gou heard this, he frowned slightly and said:

"Tell me about some of your previous plans?"

Zhu Pingan agreed and explained his plan in detail, which was nothing more than holding a racing competition or organizing a reward event.

After all, it is unrealistic to update the version of "Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice" in a short period of time.

After hearing this, Cai Gou shook his head and said:

"It's too regular. No wonder you don't feel confident about it."

"Yeah... After all, the Star Cup is held only every four years. Who knows what tricks they might hide?" Zhu Pingan leaned forward and asked:

"Brother Dog, do you have any ideas?"

As soon as the question came out, Cai Gou's eyes rolled, and after a while he smiled and said:

"Yes!"

"In this case, you go contact the copyright company of Haunted Bear. I heard that their company wants to release a big summer movie this year. We will promote Haunted Bear and he authorizes us to use the characters of Haunted Bear."

"Ah?" Zhu Pingan was completely confused by Cai Gou's suggestion and asked:

"Brother Dog, the bear you are talking about is not from the anime, is it?"

After receiving Cai Gou's affirmative answer, Zhu Ping'an said in confusion:

"According to what you mean, Brother Gou, the only opportunity for our Star Cup to hold an event is to develop a bear-infested MOD for "Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice"?"

"The compatibility between the two is not too bad, right?"

Cai Gou naturally knew that before the results came out, anyone who knew about this would be filled with disbelief.

This is so unscientific!

But the facts prove——

Although this is not scientific, it is very game!

After all, he saw how popular Zhiqiang literature was in his previous life.

Game manufacturers don't need to reason with players, sometimes unexpected surprises are the answer.

"Go and do it!" Cai Gou stood up and patted Zhu Ping'an on the shoulder:

"Bear Infestation will surprise you and me!"

Zhu Ping'an saw Cai Gou's words and thought that he had never made a mistake along the way. He nodded immediately and said:

"Okay, I'll go right away!"

Taipingdao, now a popular game manufacturer in the gaming industry, took the initiative to come to the door this time. When the animation company learned about the reason for the cooperation, although they did not understand it, considering the influence of the Star Cup and Taipingdao, they still agreed.

After receiving the authorization, the bear-infested MOD for "Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice" was intensively produced.

…

Thunderbolt, thunderbolt, play area.

Wang Laoju is currently broadcasting "Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice", but his progress is relatively slow, and he is still doing preparations before fighting the Red Ghost.

"The bitter journey begins!"

"Wang Laoju, rise up!"

"Chigui: Is your name Wang Laoju?"

In the live broadcast room, netizens released barrages and talked about how to strengthen Wang Laoju.

Wang Laoju replied casually to her friend, chatting and finishing upgrading her skills.

Wang Laoju ran all the way to a Buddhist niche.

Amidst the snowflakes in the sky, a haggard-looking warrior with a long sword on his waist was sitting cross-legged next to the Buddhist altar. He was none other than the Immortal Hanbei.

When he saw Wang Laoju coming, he stood up and asked:

"Huh? Have you never met your Excellency before?"

"Um...you can't give me your name, can you?"

"But it seems that you are a really capable ninja. If it's a ninja's move... maybe..."

"Well... Your Excellency! Please be sure to compare notes with me!"

This warrior's appearance is no different from that of a soldier, and his role is only to accompany players in training, allowing players to further master combat skills.

Wang Laoju didn't pay much attention and directly drew his sword to fight with him. In just a few rounds, he killed the undead Hanbingwei.

Unexpectedly, after a while, the already dead Immortal Hanbei stood up staggeringly and said angrily:

"Well... after all, I still can't die!"

Wang Laoju wondered: "Can't you die? Don't you want to kill Hanbingwei? And you just want to die?"

"interesting!"

After the broadcast ended that day, although Wang Laoju defeated the red ghost, the figure of the undead Hanbingwei still echoed in his mind.

"Taipingdao...plot..."

Wang Laoju once again thought that "Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice" is the first Taipingdao game that focuses more on plot than hard-core operations.

"Then...could it be that...behind this little character, the undead Hanbei, there is also a touching story that can go well with wine?"

Thinking of this, Wang Laoju suddenly lost sleepiness.

After sorting out the information about the immortal Hanbei, Wang Laoju felt the charm of a little person from him, immediately started the live broadcast, and changed the title of the live broadcast room to——

[Immortal Hanbei: You're welcome, I'm used to pain]

Wang Laoju’s loyal fans flocked to the live broadcast room.

"Okay, dear audience friends, hello everyone, welcome to Wang Laoju's personal plot explanation video of "Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice"!"

After Wang Laoju finished her classic opening remarks, the character modeling image of the undead Hanbei appeared on the screen.

The Immortal Hanbei is a warrior wearing shabby armor. His face is carved with deep wrinkles, showing the traces of time, and his eyes are full of numbness and despair. The sword he was wearing was worn out.

Not to mention this image compared to the BOSS monster, even the modeling of the elite monster is much better than that of the undead Hanbei. No matter how you look at it, he is just an ordinary samurai on the battlefield.

"Damn it, the plot is explained in the video? Wang Laoju is not the first, but he is the first to explain the immortal Hanbei!"

"No... who is the Immortal Hanbei? Why don't I remember it? It shouldn't be a BOSS monster, right?"

"The undead Hanbei upstairs is not only not a BOSS monster, he's not even an elite monster..."

The water friends were discussing enthusiastically, and more and more people were online in the live broadcast room.

Wang Laoju said: "Everyone, how much pain can you see in the eyes of the immortal Hanbingwei?"

"The Immortal Hanbei is a character modeled like an ordinary soldier. In Ashina Country, where there are many people pursuing immortality, he is the only one who wants to die. When the player first meets him, the Immortal Hanbei I hope to compete with us in martial arts.”

"But after we killed him, he was able to resurrect. It turned out that just like the name of the undead Hanbei, the undead insects in his body gave him the ability to die. Even if he was split in half, he could still survive resurrection."

"He sees the wolf with a sad face, and hopes that the player can swing a knife at him to forget his troubles."

[This body cannot die, so you can chop it no matter how you do it]

"But although the undead bugs can make people immortal, the physical pain is still clear, but the undead Hanbei doesn't care about this pain."

"When the player thanks him, he will say -"

[Hahaha, you’re welcome, I’m already used to pain]

Under Wang Laoju's eloquent narration, the water friends were gradually attracted, and one by one they were immersed in the story of the immortal Hanbei.

"Damn, that's interesting!"

"No, does the Immortal Hanbei really have a storyline?"

"Tsk tsk, tell me quickly, I want to see it!"

And as Wang Laoju tells it, the story of the immortal Hanbei's life is also revealed to the players.

During the Warring States Period in Japan, Hanbei was abandoned by his family and was about to starve to death just to have fewer mouths to eat. Just when he thought he was about to be freed, a monk put an undead insect into his body.

From then on, he gained immortality and could only continue to live in the world.

For the countless days that followed, he wandered like a zombie. During this period, in order to kill time, he worked hard to practice a set of exquisite sword skills, but he could not find a reason to wield the sword.

Until one day, he met the general Tamura while wandering. Hanbei's ability to survive was quickly appreciated by Tamura. From this, he had a reason to wield the sword and found the faith to live.

But the good times didn't last long. Even though Tamura was a burly man with superb martial arts, he met the sword saint Ashina Isshin, who was even more powerful and had the ability to split the land and open up new frontiers. He was ruthlessly killed after a few rounds of fighting.

Even though Hanbei tried his best and injured the famous general Takamine Hirachino of Ashina with a sword, the main general Tamura was beheaded. As a subordinate, he should have committed seppuku to show his loyalty, but because of his immortal body, he had to tell Ashina Isshin that he couldn't obey his orders because of his lowly body.

After a battle, Hanbei was cut in half by Ashina Isshin with a one-character.

But even so, he was resurrected on the battlefield full of corpses not long after, but this time the light in his eyes went out. He lost his master and was homeless again like a stray dog.

After experiencing countless days like the walking dead, he was mistaken for a robber when he passed by a village and was attacked by a young man named Masayoshi. Hanbei did not resist and let the long sword cut him.

Masayoshi's sister Ling noticed something was wrong, and hurriedly stopped him and took him home to heal his wounds. Masayoshi's family's warm hospitality made him feel the warmth he had long missed.

At this moment, the village was attacked by wild samurai.

Hanbei had a reason to swing his sword again. He arrived in time when Masayoshi's life was hanging by a thread. Although he suffered multiple fatal injuries in the battle, he finally forced the robbers back with the blessing of his immortal body, but he also exposed his identity as an immortal.

At the request of Ling and others, Hanbei stayed in the village.

If he followed Tamura to plunder, then he stayed with Ling's family to protect him. The kind-hearted Ling treated him as a family member.

But bad luck always seems to stare at the poor. The village he is in happens to be the territory of the Gaofeng family. The patriarch is Gaofeng Hirachino, who was once injured by Hanbei. In order to develop the power of immortality, Gaofeng willfully arrested villagers from nearby villages.

Despite creating a monster like the red devil, Gaofeng was still not satisfied and set his sights on Hanbei. In order to lure him into the trap, Gaofeng and others kidnapped Ling. In order to protect the one he loved, Hanbei went to Gaofeng's mansion alone.

Masayoshi got the news and rushed to the Hongmen Banquet with him. The battle was extremely dangerous. Even Hanbei, who had an immortal body, was almost cut off by the immortal worm in his body. Thanks to Masayoshi's sacrifice, he was saved from danger, but Masayoshi died in the battle.

Before he died, he hoped that Hanbei would find and take care of his sister Ling, but Ling had already been transformed into a red-eyed monster. Seeing Ling's painful appearance, Hanbei turned around and put on a mask, and personally freed the woman who regarded him as his father.

So far, Hanbei has lost everything again.

After wandering for a while, Hanbei finally lived in the dilapidated temple where the Buddhist sculptor lived.

After an unknown amount of time, he met the Wolf Ninja who had also lost everything. When Wolf got the Immortal Slash and went to find him again, at Hanbei's strong plea, Wolf finally used the Immortal Slash to end his tragic life.

The pain of not being able to protect the one he loved.

The regret of not being able to follow his master to death.

Finally got relief at this moment.

"Goodbye, Hanbei!"
