Chapter 180 Brothers, let’s blow up the place!
"It's open, the door is open!"
"Hurry, hurry, go in and grab a seat first!"
“Comic-Con peripherals here I come!”
"Brothers, charge!"
…
Accompanied by deafening cheers, the second day of the anime and game exhibition finally officially arrived.
A large number of tourists poured into the venue through the entrance, making the venue, which had been silent all night, lively again.
And compared to the first day.
The heat was significantly higher on the second day.
Because many large-scale events and important figures appear on this day, everyone chooses this day to come here.
Even many well-known anchors were present today, each holding a selfie stick and a mobile phone, following the crowd into the venue.
“It really feels different when you’re there. The music is great, the atmosphere is great, and it’s really lively!”
Near the entrance, a host who had just passed security check had an admiring look on his face as his live camera swept across the venue.
Wherever you look, you can see crowds of people, newly opened exhibition areas, and exhibit merchandise on display.
“It does look a lot more lively than last year.”
“Is the ACG market finally going to rise?”
"There are so many people here that I want to go and experience it in person."
"Why don't we go check out the B-station exhibition area first? I heard they're launching anniversary merchandise today."
"Miracle is fine too. I watched their new game live yesterday and it felt pretty good. Besides, there were a lot of people at the event."
The live broadcast room was filled with discussions and everyone was giving advice to the anchor.
After the previous day’s promotion, major live streaming platforms also became very lively.
The homepage broadcasts live broadcasts of various exhibitions, attracting countless viewers to join in the fun and experience the joy of online exhibitions.
"In that case, let's go to Station B and Miracles. I heard that's where the most people are. If you can grab some commemorative merchandise, you can join the lottery."
There are many people who share the same idea as him.
After entering the venue, you don’t even need to confirm the direction or look at the map, just follow the flow of people and go to the busiest exhibition areas.
As for other less famous exhibition areas, they were much deserted.
Only when I happen to pass by and see something interesting will I go over to take a look.
This phenomenon made those players who came to support Honghuang very anxious.
"Brother Dachui, this won't work. Customer traffic has been snatched away by other exhibition areas. Don't you have any other solutions?"
One of the young men said this with concern, expressing the thoughts of several people.
They came here early in the morning just to continue experiencing the game "Yu-Gi-Oh!"
Because it's really fun, better than any card game they've ever seen.
But no matter how fun the game is.
No one came to see it, it was just a bottle of wine in a deep alley.
No matter how fragrant it is, it can’t spread outside.
"Don't worry, we still have something to release. Let them be proud first." Old Li curled his lips and continued to work on his things.
"Something? What?"
"Is it about this game?"
Several young men's eyes lit up and they asked expectantly.
"I can't tell you now, you will know when the time comes."
Old Li came over with a few exquisite rectangular paper packages in his hand and handed them to them.
"Come on, everyone take a pack. It's a gift for you to come and support us."
"What is this?"
A few people looked at them in confusion and found that each of the packages was printed with the image of a Black Magician and a Blue-Eyes White Dragon. They were the size of a palm and a little bulging.
"Could it be... a physical card!"
One of them suddenly thought of something and exclaimed.
The remaining few people were also shocked when they heard this, and their eyes suddenly became hot.
"Physical cards!"
“Official physical card!”
"Is this for us?"
As fans of two-dimensional games, what they are most passionate about is collecting this kind of peripheral products.
Even if it is just a simple model or book, as long as it is officially released, it contains very important commemorative significance.
Because these things all have one thing in common.
That is a limited time sale!
Once you miss this opportunity, it will not be so easy to buy it again next time. It has a strong collection value.
"It's a physical card, yes, but each person can only take one pack, which contains five cards in total. What you get depends on your luck." Lao Li explained patiently.
"Then can we draw cards like Dark Magician, Dark Magician Girl and Blue-Eyes White Dragon?" someone asked hurriedly.
"Of course there are. Moreover, the same card has several quality effects, such as normal card N, silver letter R, face flash SR, mirror shatter SSR, gold letter UR, etc. The higher the quality, the less the output quantity."
"Wow! If I draw a gold UR, wouldn't it be worth a lot of money?"
The boys became even more excited.
Old Li shrugged. "That's right. I heard from our boss that a gold-lettered UR-level Black Magician Girl is worth at least the down payment for a house? That's what he said anyway."
His words were very casual, and clearly meant as a joke.
If a card is really worth a down payment for a house, would he be willing to give it away?
I bought them all for myself a long time ago.
But these words sounded different to the ears of several people, as if a thunderclap exploded in their minds.
If one card is worth a down payment for a house, wouldn’t that be hundreds of thousands of dollars?
Not to mention hundreds of thousands, even if it was worth ten thousand, they couldn't even imagine it.
Without any hesitation, he stared at the card wallet in Lao Li's hand and started to select carefully.
"I'm so nervous, which bag should I choose?"
"I...I want this pack of black magic!"
"Then I want this pack of Blue-Eyes White Dragon!"
"I can feel that this pack will definitely produce a gold-level black magic girl!"
At this moment, they are like lottery players scratching lottery tickets. They don't know what will come out of the next pack and are extremely nervous.
This kind of unknown joy and anticipation is no less than the experience of playing games, which makes them very excited.
After all, these are the first batch of card packs officially released.
And they are the first players to open the card packs.
This honor alone made their palms sweat and their breathing quicken.
It was not easy.
Finally I picked out the card pack I liked.
Under the envious gazes of other players , I walked to the booth and carefully unpacked the package, feeling nervous.
"Here it comes, I feel like the rare card is calling me!"
"I'm so nervous. I don't know what kind of cards I'll get."
"It made my heart beat faster."
Several people carefully tore open the package along the cutting line, and then pulled out the cards one by one.
Soon, cheers spread throughout the exhibition area and beyond.
"Fuck! I got a Silver R card!"
"This chestnut ball is so shiny, could it be a face-shield SR!?"
"Where, where? Where is Mian Shan?"
“Blue-Eyes White Dragon! I really drew the Blue-Eyes White Dragon!!”
"Oh my god! You are a dog!"
In an instant, everyone gathered together. Even the tourists who had just passed by the exhibition area were attracted by the movement here and came over curiously.
The young man had a flushed face and was holding up a shiny card that looked like a broken mirror.
Printed on it is the Blue-Eyes White Dragon card!
even.
Even the names of the cards are silver.
Mirror Shatter SSR + Silver R double special effects, an absolutely rare card!
This made the others' eyes red with anger, and they wished they could snatch it from his hands directly.
After all, according to Brother Dachui’s explanation, the highest rarity is worth hundreds of thousands, so this slightly inferior double special effect must be worth at least tens of thousands, right?
"Hey, I've decided. I'm going to take this card back, frame it, and put it in my figurine display cabinet."
The young man reacted quickly and put the cards in his arms to avoid the wolf-like gaze.
"Hey! We haven't seen enough yet, don't put it away so quickly!"
"Take it out and have another look. What does the mirror-shattering special effect look like?"
Now the others suddenly became anxious and started urging him again and again.
As a last resort, he could only take out the cards again and reminded his master several times to handle them with care.
In a blink of an eye, exclamations spread throughout the exhibition area again.
A group of people admired the card as if it were a treasure, afraid that it would be folded or bent.
"Strange, what is the pattern on it used for? It doesn't seem to be in the game. Is it an anti-counterfeiting mark?"
Suddenly, one of them noticed the difference between the real card and the virtual card. There were some gold-plated patterns near the border.
It looks more refined and more gorgeous.
Others also noticed this and couldn't help but look at Lao Li in the distance in confusion.
"Well, it's used to identify authenticity. It has some other small uses. You will know later."
Old Li started to explain.
As if in response to his words, the radio suddenly sounded.
[Exhibition notice: Honghuang Studio will hold a new game demonstration at the central booth at 10 am, accompanied by a peripheral product exhibition. Please go there in an orderly manner and avoid stampedes. ]
Is it finally here?
Not only Lao Li and Chen Lin in the lounge, but even Xu Ning who had just woken up, couldn't help but look up and look towards the center booth.
The people in the exhibition area were all stunned.
"A new game demonstration?"
"Brother Dachui, are you going to hold an event at the center booth too?"
"You don't seem to have many peripheral products? Can you survive with just one PC game?"
You have to know that the central booth is used to hold large-scale events, and you may not be able to get it without some content.
That’s why it’s rare to see small factories hosting this event.
One is that they are not famous enough.
The second is insufficient resources.
For example, just now at eight o'clock, a major animation company was holding a meet-and-greet event, which attracted a large number of audiences and media.
And the Great Desolation...
As far as they know, there don't seem to be many 2D products that are worth showing off.
"Who said we should use PC to demo the new game?"
Old Li turned around and grinned at them, then looked at the employees who had been holding back their anger.
"Brothers, grab your weapons! We're going to blow up the place!"
"roar--"
Loud cheers echoed inside the Honghuang exhibition area.
The employees who had been waiting for a long time directly picked up the prepared equipment and rushed towards the central booth.
The strange devices and projection equipment made the tourists nearby look curious.
What surprised them even more was.
Two figures also walked out of the lounge next to them.
A woman with hair that was spiky and the front part was dyed blonde. She was wearing a black belt tights and a pyramid pendant on her chest.
The other one was a blonde girl wearing a blue robe and holding a cute magic wand. Her slender thighs were stepped on a pair of high magic boots. She instantly became the focus of everyone's attention.
"Yugi and the Black Magician Girl!"
There was an exclamation from the crowd, and someone immediately recognized the cartoon characters the two were COSing.
It’s none other than Yugi, the protagonist of the anime Yugi-Oh!, and the most popular card character, Black Magician Girl!
Snap!
Snap!!
For a moment, the sounds of various cameras shooting were heard.
Countless tourists rushed to the scene upon hearing the news and took photos of the two lifelike cosplay characters, which actually caused congestion in the entire exhibition area.
Then, a scene that they had never expected occurred.
A tall figure suddenly appeared at the door of the lounge, holding his hat with one hand, and walked out in a squatting position.
The tourists who looked in the direction of the sound suddenly widened their eyes and were almost dazzled by the white sight.
"Mrs. Hachisha!"
"Isn't this Mrs. Hachishaku!?"
The exclamation rang out again, accompanied by a burst of clicking sounds of cameras.
The scene of the eight-foot-tall lady slipping through the small door was so similar to the scene that had appeared in the game that they were so excited that they clenched their fists.
The sound of shutter clicks continued.
"Let's go. I'll leave the exhibition area to you for now."
Chen Lin said something to the employees who stayed behind, then chose a corner where no one noticed him, walked out of the crowd, and headed towards the central booth.
Until then.
The stunned young men finally reacted.
"Fuck! Hong Huang actually prepared this trick!"
"Could it be that Brother Dachui and the others have some hidden tricks?"
"Let's go! Let's join in the fun!"
As they spoke, they put away the physical cards, hurriedly caught up with the team, and headed towards the central exhibition stand.
