Chapter 176 The duel begins!
"Yu-Gi-Oh?"
"Why is Yu-Gi-Oh here?"
Hearing that scream, the crowd nearby became agitated and looked over here.
Over the past half month, the Yu-Gi-Oh anime has been extremely popular, and even various secondary creation videos have appeared, sweeping the anime circle.
Even if you haven't seen it, you've probably heard of it.
Now that they suddenly saw it at the exhibition, they were naturally surprised and gradually gathered towards the Honghuang exhibition area.
"Brother Dachui, don't tell me that this animation was made by you, Honghuang."
Several guys sitting in the front row reacted and looked at the anime playing on the screen in shock.
You should know that from the launch of this animation to now, the producer has not been officially announced, and the audience has not delved into this issue.
But now that Honghuang has been released so blatantly at the exhibition, there are only two possibilities.
First, they got the authorization.
Second, the producer of this anime is Honghuang!
The few people who figured this out took a deep breath.
Because based on their understanding of the prehistoric world, such an outrageous thing might really happen.
Thinking about the mysterious new card game that Honghuang was going to release, a bold idea suddenly emerged from their minds uncontrollably.
Could it be that...
Involuntarily, several people's breathing quickened and they looked at Lao Li again.
However, what responded to them was Lao Li's retort: "What anime? This is the promotional CG of our new game!"
ah?
Several people were stunned for a moment.
The audience that had gathered were all petrified, with expressions as if they had seen a ghost.
This anime was actually released by Honghuang!
This is a super long anime with more than 200 episodes, and you told me it's a game CG?
It's totally off the mark!
But the facts before them forced them to believe that this was true.
This studio actually released a super long anime and used it as the promotional CG for the game!
"So, your new game will be related to this anime?" Someone finally couldn't help but ask.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes lit up.
When they watched the anime before, they thought the card rules were very interesting.
If it could really be ported to PC or console, it would definitely be a very fun game.
"wrong!"
Unexpectedly, Lao Li directly rejected this conjecture.
This made the players who were originally very much looking forward to it suddenly become disappointed.
But soon, Lao Li's voice sounded again: "Our game is not just related, it completely replicates the rules and gameplay in the anime."
boom!
The crowd exploded instantly.
Everyone became excited again.
But he didn't notice that Chen Lin was standing in the distance, watching this side silently.
The reason why the producer of the "Yu-Gi-Oh!" anime was kept secret and not announced until now is to prevent other manufacturers from knowing it so soon.
Anyway, their projects are all numbered.
Except for him and Lao Song, no one else knew the name of the new game, let alone its connection with anime.
Even if the major manufacturers react by then and the anime becomes popular, it will be too late to change the project, and the main strategy will be to use a time difference tactic.
It turns out.
He was right to do so.
Miracle did develop a strategy targeting them, but it was a pity that they didn't copy the core content.
Moreover, with his way of publicizing the news, the impact on the players seems to be even greater.
Less than half an hour.
The news spread quickly within the game exhibition hall and even reached the miracle exhibition area.
"A new card game from Honghuang has come out?"
"It's actually a replica of the gameplay of the Yu-Gi-Oh anime?"
"I remember this is an anime that became popular recently, right?"
"Let's go and take a look first."
"Wait for me!"
There was a commotion in the crowd, and many players left the Miracles exhibition area and hurried towards the Primordial Exhibition Area.
They are basically all card game enthusiasts, so when they hear about other card games, they naturally want to check them out.
The others who did not leave were somewhat hesitant.
"What should we do? Should we wait here or go over there?" one of them asked, looking at the figures that were leaving.
"Forget it. I heard that the game Honghuang was only recently made, but the game Miracle took two years to polish."
"Indeed, the investment is not at the same level at all. It is probably just a follow-up product."
When the announcement was made before, Honghuang was released right after Shenji, and it was a game of the same type. It was hard not to suspect that this was an attempt to ride on the popularity of the game.
They basically don't have much hope for games like this that are rushed out to catch the attention of the public, and their focus is still on Miracle's new game.
Now that a group of people have left, they can experience the new tour faster and become more determined to stay.
As for the miracle leader standing not far away, he had a playful smile on his face.
"Is the Honghuang side finally going to start? You should go over there and take a look at the situation."
"Leave it to me."
The young man next to him responded, then turned and left the team, disappearing in the surging crowd at the venue.
…
And at this time.
In the Honghuang exhibition area.
After a few minutes of spreading the news, dozens of people had gathered here, all waiting there curiously.
"Okay, there are five battle areas in total, and ten people can play at the same time. Who will go first?"
Under Lao Li's command, the first experience opened was the PC experience.
In the spacious exhibition area, ten large screens were placed with their backs facing each other, forming ten face-to-face battle booths.
In this way, the two players sitting opposite each other will not be able to see each other's cards, so as not to affect the gaming experience.
"Me, me, me! I'll go first!"
“I want to try it too!”
"Brother Dachui, leave me a machine!"
After hearing Lao Li's question, the young men who came to show their support immediately swarmed into the experience area and took up several machines first.
Other players also took their seats one by one under the guidance of the staff and lit up the screen with great anticipation.
The booths were crowded with people, which instantly made the Honghuang exhibition area lively.
"It's about to begin!"
As the light came on, everyone was shocked and stared at the screen.
Swish!
After the dazzling light, a crystal blue interface full of technology appeared.
【Yu-Gi-Oh!】
【Yu-Gi-Oh!】
【Start the game! 】
"Shit! It's really Yu-Gi-Oh!"
Seeing this name which is exactly the same as the anime, people who have watched the anime were immediately surprised.
Click quickly to start the game.
【Data connecting...】
[Starting to access the imaging system...]
[Data source signal...stable... ]
[New World Code, Yu-Gi-Oh, officially launched...]
"Wow, that's a good opening."
“It feels like a sci-fi game.”
"I feel like I'm entering a virtual world."
The opening with a bit of a middle school vibe did not make the players wonder why, but instead complemented the atmosphere of the exhibition, and everyone couldn't help laughing.
As the reading bar passes, a character selection interface pops up.
Because it is a trial version, only some main characters are open.
【Game】【Seahorse】【Jounouchi】【Apricot】【Peacock Dance】……
"Great! Even the characters are remakes of the anime!"
"Is there even a need to ask? As a gambler, I must choose the city!"
"Hehe, then I choose Chairman Kaiba."
These people have all watched the "Yu-Gi-Oh!" anime and already know some basic rules.
Without even needing explanations from the staff next to me, I just selected my favorite character, entered the game, and jumped to the deck editing page.
When they saw those familiar yet unfamiliar cards, there was a burst of exclamations from the crowd.
"Blue-Eyes White Dragon! There really is a Blue-Eyes White Dragon!"
"Dark Magician! The protagonist's trump card monster also has it!"
“So many cards I haven’t seen before!”
"There really are magic cards and trap cards!"
"Is this the entirety of the duel deck?"
When watching the Yu-Gi-Oh anime, you can only see a small part of the deck content.
The character will only know when they use that card.
Now that they can finally see the entire deck, they are immediately excited.
They were not even in a hurry to start the duel. Instead, they clicked on the cards one by one, carefully examining the card images and effects, and there were exclamations everywhere.
“I can’t believe this game is so rich!”
On a certain card seat, a veteran card game player opened the spare card pool underneath with a look of shock on his face.
In addition to the 40 cards in the main card area used for duels, there are actually thousands of alternative cards available below, and each card has a different effect!
Monster cards, magic cards, trap cards, each card can produce different linkages, even multiple linkages.
Even the monsters have their own systems, and 1-star monsters can sometimes produce effects far beyond expectations.
Compared to this game.
The bond gameplay of Miracle's "Girls Connect" is simply a joke, not even a fraction of the depth of other people's gameplay!
There are actually people on the Internet saying that Honghuang's game is a copy of Miracles.
Isn't this a joke!?
This was probably the funniest joke he had heard this year.
For a moment.
All players were dazzled by this rich card system.
At the same time, I was scratching my head and struggling with the choice. Seeing so many powerful cards in front of me, I even suffered from decision-making difficulties.
They were actually having so much fun playing in the deck editing interface that several minutes passed without anyone starting a duel.
Even the people watching the game on the sidelines didn't rush to urge them on, but instead kept speaking up and giving advice to the players who were trying out the game.
"This card is good. When the opponent summons a monster, you can directly bury it."
"No, no, no, the activation effect is too demanding. There must be a Gravekeeper Monster on the field."
"You have too many trap cards in this deck. There isn't a single monster you can defeat!"
"God damn, you picked all high-star monsters. Don't you know that high-star monsters need sacrifices to enter the field?"
"You'll be right if you listen to me. You'll definitely get your hand stuck and die."
…
The sounds of debate continued to echo in the exhibition area. If it weren't for the rules, the spectators would have wanted to grab the seats and play themselves.
A good duel game.
They turned it into a card-building game.
And they are extremely addicted, and they are all deeply trapped in it and cannot extricate themselves.
"Mr. Chen...is this not a good idea?"
Next to the exhibition area, Old Li looked at the scene in astonishment.
Why is it different from what he expected?
You have to know that in order to prevent the game from being too complicated, they only opened up a thousand cards.
If this continues, I'm afraid there won't be any need for a duel.
"It's okay. This atmosphere is actually pretty good."
Chen Lin smiled slightly. As a player of Yu-Gi-Oh, he understood this feeling best. He wanted to stuff all the powerful cards into his deck.
In the end, the deck became bloated and I was criticized by my friends.
Since you want to play this game, there are some things you have to go through.
"Alright! We have assembled the cards!"
Finally, amidst the arguments, a player was the first to assemble a deck and shouted loudly.
Next to him stood a bunch of military advisors with malicious looks on their faces.
"Hey, this is a deck we put together with everyone's opinions. Just wait for us to beat you up!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the opposing team's crowd could no longer sit still.
"Beat it? No way, the deck we put together is the strongest!"
"That's right, just wait for us to kill you in one OTK!"
It was clearly just a duel between two players, but in the end it turned into a fight between the two sides.
The tense scene made everyone around laugh and cheer, and they felt very involved.
In this atmosphere, the popularity of the Honghuang exhibition area was gradually boosted.
More and more people were attracted by the hot atmosphere and gathered outside, curious about what games they were playing.
"Okay, our deck is ready."
At this time, the opponent was finally ready and pressed the duel button.
