Chapter 217: There Are Really Many Gamblers
Wow——
Seeing the CG images broadcast on the screen, the whole scene became agitated again.
They thought that it would be good enough if "Monster Hunter" updated a few monsters and sets this time.
However, they never expected that Honghuang would directly come up with a new game without any warning, which made all the old hunters cheer excitedly.
The noise was so loud that it almost blew off the roof of the stadium.
They really came to the right place for this carnival!
When the noise gradually died down, Lao Li continued:
"As you can see, this is our next new Monster Hunter series, Rise."
"Not only does it continue the gameplay of the previous two generations, but it also adds a mount system, allowing you to ride a mount into battle..."
Mount system?
The audience's eyes lit up when they heard this and they became more focused.
Right now .
They no longer had the impatience they had at the beginning, and were gradually attracted by Honghuang’s novel promotional methods and the huge amount of updated content.
You know.
Even for the carnivals of those big companies, the content every year is like squeezing toothpaste, with only a little bit released at a time.
Even a slightly innovative gameplay update can be hyped up as the main content, boring the audience to the point of falling asleep.
Finally, he smugly asked the audience:
"Don't you think this is cool?"
Cool NM!
Do you really think you are blind or that the players are fools?
In comparison.
This is what the ancient world calls a carnival.
Just get straight to the point, no pretense.
Even within half an hour of the broadcast starting, the news spread quickly in various gaming circles, causing a stir .
"What did you say? A new series of Monster Hunter updates!?"
"Is there a second part of Braveheart?"
“Are there other games that will be updated soon?”
"Fuck! Why didn't you tell me earlier? I'll start the live broadcast right away!"
"Send me the live link!"
In the blink of an eye, the popularity of Honghuang's live broadcast room skyrocketed again, from the original three or four million to more than seven million, and was directly pinned to the top of the homepages of major platforms.
And at this time.
Lao Li has stepped down from the stage, and the leaders of each group have taken turns to continue introducing the next game.
Need for Speed, Titanic, Sekiro, It Takes Two, Breakup Kitchen, Resident Evil, Warm Snow…
As the history of prehistoric development progresses.
One game after another appears in front of everyone.
And without exception, each one is updated with new content.
Exclamations were heard almost everywhere in the venue, and the comments in the live broadcast room were densely packed together.
finally.
Time advances to last summer.
Old Song, who had been off the stage for a long time, slowly walked to the front of the stage, which shocked the audience even more.
"Here it comes, DNF is coming!"
"At this point in time, it should be the dungeon's turn."
“I don’t know what content will be updated.”
"I haven't made the Terra weapon and the Sorrow Necklace yet. It would be best to reduce the difficulty of obtaining the equipment."
"That's ridiculous. Is it so easy to get graduation equipment?"
Now, more than half a year has passed, and the maximum number of online users of DNF has already exceeded 5 million, and there are even a large number of players on the scene looking forward to it.
Moreover, this time the introduction was made by Honghuang's operations director. One can imagine how much importance Honghuang attaches to it. Perhaps there will be major content updates.
“Ahem…”
Old Song came up to the stage and coughed twice. The noise at the scene gradually died down and all eyes were focused on him.
"I believe everyone has guessed it. The game we are going to introduce next is, yes! It is our first online game, Dungeon & Fighter!"
Lao Song's passionate voice echoed throughout the venue, and once again aroused a commotion among the audience.
After a brief speech introducing the background of the game, he got straight to the point:
“As the first online game of Honghuang, it has a very special significance, so this time we will bring an unprecedented big update and introduce a brand new enemy, the Apostle!”
"Everyone, please look."
After saying this, he slowly turned around and shifted the audience's attention to the big screen.
Next second.
The big screen lit up, and a dilapidated village swallowed by darkness slowly emerged.
at the same time.
A deep voice echoed in my ears.
[A large-scale plague broke out in the dark elf village - Noipera, which was the fuse of the war between the dark elves and humans. 】
[Since all the dark elves in Noipera died overnight, the dark elf elders used the excuse of human invasion to hold the dark elf queen hostage and start a war.]
[However, after the adventurers' exploration, they discovered the figure of the apostle...]
As the narration ends, sad music begins, presenting the audience with a full picture of the entire village.
As if ravaged by some kind of plague, the entire earth turned black and the buildings had long since decayed.
Faintly, you can see a few strange black shadows flash by and wander around in the village.
[Diregi's Shadow: Apostle]
The creepy title freezes, and a mutated and twisted black wild boar appears on the screen, confronting the two job transfers of the Night Messenger.
"As you can see, this is our upcoming new expansion, Shadow of Direji."
Without waiting for the audience to react, Lao Song spoke again.
“In addition to the new dungeons, we will also update all the heritage and artifact sets above level 55, which can be obtained through apostle dungeons and quests.”
"At the same time, the Night Emissary's dual professions awaken, and the difficulty of the ancient dungeon is reduced."
"There are also changes to the UI and professional skills..."
In one breath, he listed seven or eight items that would be updated soon.
With every comment, the audience's eyes brightened, and by the end they became even more excited.
"New expansion pack! There's actually a new expansion pack coming out!"
"The Nightbringer has awakened, great!"
"Are we finally going to release level 55 equipment?"
"There's one more place to farm equipment!"
"The difficulty of Mechanical Bull and Sorrow has been reduced? Cool!"
So far, the only places where they can get graduation equipment are Mechanical Bull and Wailing, and they only produce weapons and accessories.
The update of level 55 equipment will undoubtedly provide them with a new source of graduation equipment. By then, having a set of level 55 artifact equipment will not be a dream at all!
You have to know that if you wear a magic weapon on the street now, you will be surrounded by a bunch of people, and even in PK you will be much more impressive than others.
Now that a new artifact has been released, shouldn’t it be sold out immediately when it’s online?
Those merchants who were watching the live broadcast hurriedly logged into the game and quickly sold off the low-level equipment that could be sold.
They know very well.
After this update, equipment below level 55 will definitely depreciate rapidly, and if you don’t get rid of them, they will probably rot in your hands.
This major update of Honghuang has undoubtedly brought huge turmoil to the game, and the market trend has begun to change dramatically.
Old Song on the stage introduced himself for more than ten minutes before he finished speaking and walked off the stage.
The originally lit big screen gradually dimmed, but the audience was still discussing excitedly below.
However.
Just at this moment.
A dazzling golden light suddenly burst out on the dim big screen.
【Soar to the sky! Me! 】
A vibrant shout, accompanied by golden light shining on the stage.
3D images appeared on the originally empty stage, turning it into a futuristic city full of technology.
An anime boy equipped with a duel disk stood in the square, his body wrapped in golden flames.
"3D image! It's a holographic projection!"
"Is this picture Yu-Gi-Oh?"
"WTF is there an update for Yu-Gi-Oh?"
"You can tell she's the protagonist from this hairstyle."
“Is there going to be a new anime?”
"New anime? Here I come!"
Ever since the third Yu-Gi-Oh! 5DS was updated last year, players thought that the anime series should be over.
But I didn’t expect that I would be able to see new content at the Honghuang Carnival this time.
You should know that every Yu-Gi-Oh anime represents the birth of a new summoning method.
The first part is about superiors and rituals.
The second fusion.
The third part is in sync.
If there is a fourth part, will there be some new summoning method?
This is too exaggerated!
Don't give them any chance to react.
The projection of the anime boy on the stage moved, and he suddenly pulled out a black card from his hand.
[I stack a Level 4 MY MY MY Magician and a BOOST Knight, creating a stacking network with two monsters, Xyz Summon!]
With a loud roar, the two 4-star monsters on the boy's field turned into two rays of light, one golden and one purple, and shot up into the sky.
And on the stage, the light also flashed, forming a nebula vortex, and two rays of light fell into it.
【My battle starts here! 】
【White wings of hope! 】
【Come on, No.39! 】
[The messenger of light, the Emperor of Hope, Hope! ]
Boom——
The center of the nebula suddenly exploded.
A golden and white mechanical body slowly rose up, spread its wings with a clicking sound, spread its limbs, and transformed into a mighty and domineering figure with two sharp blades hanging on its waist, like a superman descending.
[Hope King·Hope／Level 4／Warrior／Light]
[Monster/Effect/UR]
[ATK: 2500] [DEF: 2000]
The basic information popped up, and to the audience’s surprise, this new monster was unlike anything they had ever seen before.
Not only is the summoning method different, but there are also two golden stars surrounding the body, just like satellites orbiting the sun.
"What's this?"
“It looks so cool.”
"Did you notice that the card you just took out was black?"
"Black? It's a new type of card!"
"Great, I have new toys to add to my autism deck."
"??? Kill the Autistic Deck!"
As we all know, each card in Yu-Gi-Oh has an exclusive color.
However, black cards have never appeared in the game.
Coupled with the special summoning method, they have basically confirmed that this is the new series that will be updated soon!
"I don't need to explain what I just saw, right?"
After the demonstration, Mr. Li, who was in charge of the project, slowly walked to the stage with a smile on his face.
"Yes, it's just as you think."
"We will add a new summoning method to Yu-Gi-Oh within three months, Ultra Summoning! We will also update the fourth anime in advance. For details, please visit the official website of Honghuang."
"Also, all players present here can receive a free boxed card pack by showing their Yu-Gi-Oh account information. It will also include a black card that we just demonstrated as a souvenir."
"Of course, players of other games can also get limited peripheral gifts of the corresponding games."
Limited peripherals!
Just four words made the audience happy.
Why did they come to the scene?
Of course it’s for this!
The players of Yu-Gi-Oh were even more excited.
That's a boxed card pack!
The official price is 640 yuan!
This time they made back their ticket money.
It's not like the super hard one, which comes with a handle that you have to pull out, and there are only fifty of them.
When this news came out, the audience who were watching the live broadcast were all upset and regretted not buying tickets to go to the event in person.
Official limited edition peripheral products, and only available at the Carnival.
Even if you sell it, you can make a lot of money!
What's more, since the peripheral products of popular games like Honghuang are not difficult to find buyers.
Even in the live broadcast room, various comments about high-priced purchases have begun to appear, making it very lively.
"I remember a guy online who drew a gold-lettered UR Black Magician Girl and sold it for 50,000."
"Hiss! 50,000? Cash?"
"Fuck, is this card so valuable?"
"Someone has done the math and found that the chance of a gold UR appearing is only one in ten thousand. The chance of it being a black magic girl is even lower, so that might be the only one currently."
"50,000? It turns out I don't understand the world of the rich. That guy would probably wake up laughing in his dreams, right?"
Selling a card for 50,000 is indeed beyond many people's understanding.
But for some crazy collectors, they would probably pay double the price to get this kind of card, which is the only one in the world, let alone 50,000.
And with the popularity of "Yu-Gi-Oh!", its value will only get higher and higher, and it is definitely worth collecting.
Chen Lin was watching the live broadcast in the backstage and had heard about this incident.
Even when the news broke, their physical card sales skyrocketed, generating nearly 10 million in revenue for them in just one day.
I have to say there are really a lot of gamblers...
Just thinking about it.
Old Li on the stage had just finished his introduction when his expression suddenly became serious.
Even Lao Song came to the stage with a microphone, and the two of them performed on the same stage.
This sudden change in atmosphere made the audience hold their breath.
Here it comes.
The highlight is finally here!
