Chapter 167: Marching Forward, All Occupations Awaken
"Wow, I burst into tears when I saw Roxie exchange her life for his later life."
" Damn it ! I was stabbed again just for watching a game!"
"But when the ghost sword turned into a white hand at the end, it was so cool!"
"As expected, the Ghost Swordsman and the Fighter are an official pairing. I am satisfied now."
"I just don't understand. Isn't this a live broadcast room for animation? Why do they keep inserting some game footage in? I missed several episodes!"
The Fighting King Tournament has ended, but related discussions are still going on.
However, in some anime-watching groups, what is discussed more is the animation played during the half-time breaks of the game.
Because some people came late or had something to do in the middle, they only saw one copy of the plot, and it was intermittent.
Now that the competition is over, the animation is not being broadcast any further, which makes them extremely upset. They want to run to the Honghuang headquarters to ask for the original film.
"Really? Why are you making games instead of animation?"
An older guy in the group sent a message to complain.
As soon as this was said, it immediately received a lot of responses, and everyone expressed deep agreement and expressed grief over Honghuang's evil behavior.
but.
This situation did not last long and was broken by another sudden business.
"Brothers and sisters! The Arad War Chronicle has been updated on Station B ! Premium members can watch it for free!"
The message was sent, along with a screenshot and a link.
It is the CG animation that Honghuang B Station just uploaded, and it is a complete one.
"Fuck! Is it really updated?"
"Okay, okay, I finally got what I was waiting for."
"Honghuang is awesome!"
He changed his words so quickly that the group of people watching the show were shocked.
Didn’t you just hate it?
Where's the face?
…
The other side.
Inside the Honghuang studio.
Because of the huge success of the fighting competition, Chen Lin specially convened an employee commendation meeting, and the cheers almost spread throughout the entire building.
"Thanks to everyone's hard work, our first online game has gained a firm foothold and achieved such results."
"Besides anything else, everyone on the production team will get a three-month bonus increase! Everyone else's bonus will be doubled this month!"
"oh!!!"
As Chen Lin's voice fell, the employees cheered instantly, their faces flushed with excitement.
Why did they work so hard before?
Besides venting my anger, it's of course for money!
Now that the boss is so generous and doesn't do anything empty-handed, they all feel that they have really joined the right company.
Even without further explanation, I guess they will continue to work hard.
"Alright, alright."
Chen Lin smiled and raised his hands to suppress the cheers of the crowd: "This is just the beginning. Our game has just started. This is the most critical time. We must not relax. Let's go back to our posts first."
His words are still very useful.
The people who were originally still excited suddenly dispersed and returned to their posts to continue working.
Some people picked up their phones to send messages to their families, preparing to celebrate tonight.
After Chen Lin looked around the office area, he turned to look at Lao Song, Lao Li, and several production team leaders next to him.
"Tell me about the current situation."
He spoke directly, his voice becoming deeper.
Seeing this, Lao Song's face turned grim, and he immediately said, "Just as we expected at the beginning, those big companies have begun to change their strategies when they see that they can't stop us. Two similar games will be launched next week, and there have been a lot of plug-ins in the games recently."
“So soon?”
Old Li was shocked. This was not good news.
The team leader next to him also said: "The frequency of plug-ins has indeed increased recently. We have already sent more people to ban them and try our best to prevent them from causing too much impact."
"Well, well done." Chen Lin nodded approvingly.
With the experience gained from previous lives and the added protective measures when writing code, their game's ability to resist cheating has become much stronger.
At least it won't be as rampant as in the previous life.
The only thing we need to worry about now is the actions of those big manufacturers.
Seeing how popular "Dungeon & Fighter" is, they will definitely change their strategy and increase investment in this type of game.
By that time, with Honghuang's strength, it will be difficult to compete with these capitals.
After all, a big competition is almost enough to hurt them.
So this time we have to attack with force.
And be quick!
We need to stabilize the situation before the two competing products are released.
"Since they are so eager to start, let's also bring out the subsequent updates in advance. Is the expansion pack ready?"
"It's ready." Lao Song replied.
"Then send out a notice."
"Okay, I'll get ready."
"Then let's do an online test."
With that, the two of them hurriedly left with the team leaders and went back to their respective teams to make preparations.
Not long after.
A new announcement has been refreshed on the login interface of "Dungeon & Fighter".
【Version updated! 】
[At 10:00 tomorrow, the second chapter "March, the Glory of Awakening" will be officially launched, and the following content will be updated at that time. 】
[1. All professions awaken]
[2. New dungeon "Bilmark Empire Experimental Field"]
[3. New dungeon "Sorrowful Cave"]
[4. Mission line "Imperial Spy"]
[5. Updates to artifact-level equipment such as the Terra Stone series, the Sorrow series, and the Demon Sword Apophis]
[6. Rare fashion, the first set of sky suit is released]
[7. Double Experience Event]
[8. First career balance adjustment]
[9. …]
There are more than a dozen updates listed in total.
And each click will provide detailed introduction and task instructions.
Originally, according to the rhythm of the previous life, one or two career awakenings were to be launched every once in a while.
But that’s not the case right now.
There are too many competing products coming out too quickly. If they continue to release them slowly like squeezing toothpaste, they won’t even know how they died.
Therefore, we can only follow the market's changing strategy and launch a powerful attack directly.
Anyway, there is still a lot of follow-up content for this game.
What they have to do now is to stabilize the players as much as possible.
As expected.
As soon as this announcement was made, it caused a sensation in the gaming community .
Especially after seeing those gorgeous awakening skills, many players who were playing this game screamed.
"What a cool awakening skill!"
"This sword spirit's sword formation is so cool!"
"The battle mage's awakening is actually a transformation!?"
"The awakening of the big gun is really powerful, it can directly summon satellite beams!"
"There are still many updated contents. Honghuang is about to release a big move!"
In addition to career awakening, what players are most looking forward to is the artifact equipment update in Article 5.
At a time when most players still wear blue and purple equipment, pink artifact-level equipment is undoubtedly very eye-catching.
What surprised them even more was that the Terra Stone weapons and Sorrow Jewelry were actually mission equipment.
You just need to go to two new maps to collect materials to make it.
This really excited them.
"It's just a 50-level map. I'm level 60 now, can't I pass it easily?"
In the dormitory, Lao Guo looked relaxed.
His level 50 blue +11 lightsaber can finally be replaced.
It can also be regarded as a comfort for the pain of being eliminated in the first qualifying game.
Especially after seeing the handsome awakening of Sword Soul, he became even more impatient and wanted to see the updated content as soon as possible.
There are many people on the Internet who share the same idea as him.
This immediately increased the discussion level of "Dungeon & Fighter".
Many players who heard about this game for the first time were attracted by the news that was everywhere and came to play this 2D horizontal game out of curiosity.
It took less than a day.
The number of online players of the game soared to 1.8 million, almost catching up with several new games released by major manufacturers at the same time.
Until 10 o'clock the next morning.
All players were waiting in front of their computers, counting the seconds for the update to arrive.
When the clock struck 10, all the players were shocked.
"It's open! The server is open!"
"Haha, I want to be the first one to get the artifact equipment."
"Then I'll be the second one!"
"What the hell, do you really think graduation suits are so easy to get?"
"I don't ask for much, a month should be enough, right?"
The moment the game was launched, a large number of players poured into the game at the same time.
Even the servers that Honghuang had already upgraded were marked red in an instant, almost reaching their capacity limit.
Fortunately, this situation did not last long. The peak gradually passed and things became calm.
The first wave of players who entered the game have also received the awakening mission and headed straight to the two new copies.
"Here I come, today I'm going to kill the mechanical bull!"
Lao Guo, who had been waiting in front of the computer early, formed a team of four with his roommates. They quickly completed the pre-tasks and came to the map selection interface. Sure enough, there were two new copies above level 50.
And it is different from other copies.
There are also words like "ancient dungeon" and "danger" marked on it, and you can tell at a glance that it is not simple.
"It's a pity that I can't choose the King level. I can only start from the Normal level. Have you brought the tickets?"
The captain asked.
"Yes."
"I've already brought it."
"Stop talking nonsense and come in."
Under the urging of several people, the captain did not say much and went straight into the "Bilmark Empire Experimental Field".
Because the awakening quest also requires clearing this dungeon, it can be done together with the artifact quest.
Swish!
The screen changes.
They came to the first map of the copy.
The first thing they saw was a few tribal-style pillars and a group of red cat monsters surrounding them.
"Cat demon?"
"puff!"
When they saw the monster in the first picture, several people almost laughed out loud.
Isn't this the most common monster in the novice map?
Don't think they won't recognize it if you change the color.
"Well, I thought it would be so difficult. Don't move, I'll kill them in one second."
The roommate who played the Berserker in the team ran forward directly, activated the level 45 skill Collapse the Mountain and Shatter the Earth, drew out the bloody weapon and suddenly jumped towards the monster pile.
Bang!
A muffled sound.
The entire ground sank and cracks appeared.
Then lava erupted, gushing out from the ground, and knocked the red cat demon into the sky amidst its screams.
"Huh? No, why is my damage so low?"
Suddenly, the roommate was stunned and looked at the cat demon, which had only lost half of its health.
You know, this is his most damaging skill, and it cost two colorless small crystals.
Even the three people waiting on the side had puzzled expressions on their faces.
Because they understand the damage of this skill.
However.
Just when they thought there was a BUG.
The two cat monsters that were not hit by the explosion suddenly jumped over the roommate and grabbed him, taking away a lot of his health and causing two layers of bleeding effects.
Then the cat demons that fell beside him stood up one after another, roared and jumped over to launch claw attacks.
The intensive attack frequency made him freeze in place, and his health dropped rapidly.
"Oh my god! Why is the damage so abnormal? Come and save me!"
The roommate was so frightened that his face turned green, and he quickly drank the Dahong drink he had saved up with great difficulty to restore his blood.
As a result, because the bleeding layers were too high, the health volume dropped to the bottom again.
With a plop, he fell to the ground.
[Please press the "X" key to use the resurrection coin]
【Resurrection Coin x10】
[Resurrection Coin Usage Times: 3/3]
roommate:???
Die already?
You told me this is normal difficulty?
The roommate looked confused, and everyone else was stunned as well. They obviously hadn't expected this little cat demon to be so tricky.
Fortunately, they reacted quickly, rushed forward and used their ultimate skills, and finally took away all the cat monsters with low health.
"In fact, it's just a high attack point. It's still easy to kill it in one second if we attack together."
"Indeed, just be careful not to get caught. This copy seems to limit the number of resurrections you can have."
"It's not a big problem. Three times is more than enough."
The roommate lying on the ground was resurrected directly, using up one resurrection coin.
Then, the four continued to move forward.
Go through the level gate and enter the second level.
A map with a wooden fence in the middle, three small altars but no monsters.
"No wonder?"
"Are we going to stand on this circle together?"
With doubts, the four people came to the three circles and stood still, wanting to see what the reactions would be.
