Server-wide announcement!
Ignite the game!
In fact, originally, most players were in awe and fear of the challenge of the eight peak items.
Although this is a game, you can still be resurrected after death.
But don't forget that the eight peak items have a long cool-down period, which is actually equivalent to having only one life in the game.
Moreover, if he could really master all eight peak items, he would be able to take all the prize money.
Therefore, although Peak Nation has been on sale for nearly two weeks, the total number of players has exceeded 2.4 million, and the number of people who have signed up for the Peak Eight Events has reached nearly two million.
However, most players only temporarily regard the eight filming locations as travel simulators to experience the shock of the peak of Mount Everest or the magnificence of the Sea of ​​Cortez.
As for the challenge...
There are relatively few players who seek death right from the start.
But now!
As Octane completed Ice Solidification, one of the eight pinnacle items, for the first time, the world was notified.
Plus the cat gift action and cat hat decoration specially given by Golden Wind.
More and more people know the story of Catman, and at the same time, they are also looking forward to the [ultimate reward] mentioned in the Catman Hat!
Everyone knows.
Historically, whether it is games or film and television cultural works.
Easter eggs are always a setting that audiences and players talk about with great relish.
That feeling of an extra little surprise makes people curious and obsessed.
Sometimes a movie may be boring in itself, but it can attract applause just because of a small Easter egg.
And now.
Golden Wind has buried a super easter egg in the game, waiting for players to uncover it.
As a result, more and more players joined in.
The emergence of power! Rapid descent down the mountain ridge in Utah, USA——
There are jagged rocks on the steep ridge!
A fully armed player with a cat hat on his head made a cat salute gesture, then suddenly stepped on the wheel and rushed down the cliff!
Under the huge height difference, the high-intensity mountain bike specially designed for falling down hills made a creaking groan, and then rushed forward, rolling up a cloud of dust.
The Utah ridge from the perspective of a drone looks like a suspended plank road. From a distance, the entire hill-crashing race track seems to be almost at a 90-degree angle, with only a slight slope!
If the warriors who come to challenge are not careful, or even if the center of gravity shifts a little while falling from the mountain, they may completely lose control and fall off a cliff with a drop of hundreds of meters!
The birth of heaven! China's high altitude parachute jump on Mount Everest——
The athlete in parachuting clothes took a deep breath, looked at the crisscrossing steep mountains, did a cat salute, and then jumped into the bottomless abyss under the flying snow.
The bright red paraglider opened, and the contestants began to fly towards the checkpoints hidden in the mountains at a speed of 60 kilometers per hour.
The howling north wind is biting, and the crisscrossing turbulence is full of murderous intent.
One sharp mountain peak after another is like a towering stalagmite growing out of the abyss, sharp and deadly. If you are not careful and hit it, at best the parachute rope will break and you will fall into the abyss, at worst you will die on the spot and be turned into powder!
The awakening of the earth! Mexico Swallow Cave Extreme Skydiving——
Amid the rumbling of the helicopter, a parachutist adjusted the cat-ear helmet on his head, took a deep breath, then hugged his shoulders with both hands, and freely fell into the pupil of the green devil like a scepter of God!
The strong feeling of weightlessness hit his pounding heart, and the continuous surge of adrenaline and the strong wind almost made him breathless!
From his perspective, the Swallow Cave seemed to be only the size of a fist, like the bull's eye on a green target.
And he must hit the bull's eye perfectly in this one and only leap, and open the parachute and land in time in the cave which is only 400 meters deep to complete the challenge.
Succeed, or die.
In the Eye of Hell, there is no such thing as failure, because failure means there is no survival!
Extreme surfing in the Sea of ​​Cortez, Mexico!
One after another, players raced against the god of death, walked on the waves, and conquered the huge waves that connected the sky and the earth amidst lightning and thunder...
The surge of wind during wingsuit flying at Tianmen Mountain in China!
Countless players, wearing wing suits like eagles and swift swallows, soared in the sky, passed by the verdant Tianmen Mountain, and flew towards the Tianmen, which is known as the Sky Line...
The master of destiny in Angel Falls Rock Climbing in Venezuela!
The cat-hat players who came one after another calculated the route, and used their experience gained from conquering famous mountains and rivers countless times to climb the smooth and steep mountain with their bare hands...
Falls, drownings, accidents, mistakes.
On the road to challenging the limits, death always follows closely, taking the lives of batches of players after batches.
but!
The players who came one after another organized themselves spontaneously, each of them shared their gains during the challenge, and sorted out the strategies they had exchanged for their only life -
"The Birth of Heaven: A Schematic Diagram of Wind Turbulence during the First 200-meter Glide, and Optional Safe Routes"
"Earth's Awakening: Kinematic Analysis of Falling Angles Considering the Effect of Wind Speed"
"Power Emergence: 85% ridge rappelling map (including dangerous points and points where stunts can be performed), optimal route selection, and center of gravity control techniques"
"Master of Life: Optimal Route Map for 95% of Maximum Physical Strength, Including Physical Strength Consumption Index and List of Available Special Skills"
《……》
Various strategies emerge in an endless stream.
From 5%, to 50%, to 90%...
The predecessors paved the way, and the next generation will enjoy the shade. One after another, players are exploring the way with their lives, just to conquer the eight peak items as soon as possible and uncover the mysterious easter eggs.
In this regard, let alone the production team of Peak Kingdom, Steel Chain Fingers.
Even Director Gu Sheng found it quite outrageous, and felt moved and helpless at the same time.
What touched me was the players’ concern for the Cat Man incident and the unprecedented strong cohesion.
Unfortunately, games are just games after all.
Yes.
Games are games after all. Although it seems that "Peak Kingdom" is almost indistinguishable from the real thing now, it has given players the most powerful sense of immersion and experience ever.
However, it is ultimately composed of fixed codes and is far from having the true randomness of nature.
That is to say.
Among these seemingly impossible challenges, among the countless routes to choose from, there must be a route that is the optimal solution that allows players to complete the challenge without any danger.
It's like a combination lock.
Speed, center of gravity, external force, route, physical strength, movement...
Although the password has many digits.
But there is always a set of passwords that are the key to opening the box.
After all, game levels are designed to allow players to complete them, not to set up a dead end to taunt players.
In fact, this is still very difficult.
After all, each player only has one try opportunity within a certain period of time.
The completion of this challenge is related to winning the final prize.
So theoretically speaking, even if they fail, players are unwilling to share their experience - after all, after the cooling-off period, I can still continue the challenge, right?
but!
The Cat Man Easter egg is out!
But it completely reversed the situation and ignited the passion of the players!
Fuck the bonus! I have to have a hand in the Catman Easter egg unveiling!
Almost overnight!
The players' individual fights have turned into divisions and teams!
Perhaps a multi-digit password is quite difficult for one person to decipher.
But what if a hundred people solve it together?
What about one thousand people, or ten thousand people?
One million people, two million people? !
Yes, two and a half weeks!
The number of players participating in the eight peak challenges has exceeded two million!
With the huge bonus of up to 10 million US dollars, more and more players are joining in. Moreover, as the strategies become more and more abundant, the progress of other challenges is also taking off.
Even as of eighteen days after the game was released, six of the eight peak challenges had already been conquered!
When the news came, Gu Sheng wanted to cry and laugh at the same time.
What makes me want to cry is that half of our company went out as a whole, traveled across five continents and four oceans, went to various parts of the world to take pictures, collected data with great effort , and painstakingly built this map model overnight!
The game has been on sale for less than a month, and two million mad dogs have come out of the cage, and they cracked it for me?
It's just fucking outrageous!
As for laughing, it was because I was moved by the players' persistence and the intangible achievements of this game——
They actually used one game to unite two million players around the world.
This is an unprecedented movement in the gaming community, a goodwill contest between players and manufacturers, and the best embodiment of the shining humanity of players.
In this regard, Gu Sheng could only shake his head helplessly and say -
…
"Unity is strength,"
Shen Miaomiao put the plates into the dishwasher and made a brilliant summary:
"You should have realized this when you first posted this Easter egg,"
"Not to mention the hardcore gamers, even casual gamers like me would like to contribute if conditions permit."
Hearing this, Gu Sheng, who was sitting on the sofa adjusting the projection, was stunned and looked at Shen Miaomiao:
"You? You still contributed?"
"Hey, of course!"
With a click, Shen Miaomiao closed the dishwasher, turned around, put her hands on her hips, and made a gesture that said "I'm so proud of you"——
"I don't know what kind of Easter eggs you have buried, but since I have nothing to do, I decided to try [Sea Creatures]. I even posted a message in the forum group to share my experience!"
Gu Sheng: ...
There is a ghost in the company!
The brothers are working hard here to compete with the players in a battle of wits and courage, trying to extend the time required to crack the eight peak items as much as possible.
Little did they know that the company's big boss had already extended his influence to Mexico, mingling with the players and actively participating in the Easter egg cracking activities.
"...6,"
Gu Sheng didn't know what to say, his head was buzzing, and he raised his hand and gave a thumbs up:
"How did it feel? How far did you run?"
"About... less than a hundred meters?"
As Shen Miaomiao spoke, she skipped to the sofa, then plopped into the soft embrace of the sofa and shook out her fluffy blanket:
"I learned to surf before, but the weather at the challenge location was too bad, with thunder and rain."
"And as soon as I got into the water, the waves came behind me. Wow, you guys are really brave."
"That wave was so-so high!"
Seeing the exaggeration of Little Nezha, Gu Sheng couldn't help laughing and imitated Little Nezha's tone:
"So how high is that?"
"Emmmm..."
Shen Miaomiao hesitated for a moment, stretched out her hands to hold the blanket and pulled it up:
"It's just this high! I can't outrun it!"
Talking.
Little Nezha's blanket lay between the two of them.
Gu Sheng laughed, not noticing Shen Miaomiao's wicked grin behind the blanket.
And the next second, the voice of little Nezha was heard:
"I couldn't outrun the waves, and then..."
With a whoosh!
Shen Miaomiao stretched out the small blanket and pounced forward, covering Gu Sheng tightly in the blanket!
A giggle rang out: "I was hit by the wave and sank to the bottom in an instant!"
"Hello!"
Gu Sheng was caught off guard, and was covered by the little Nezha, turning him into a ghost covered with a blanket. A resentful voice rang out:
"The waves hit you and you hit me, right?"
And the giggling sound of little Nezha could be heard from outside the small blanket:
"Of course! I have the conditions to take revenge on the designer, so why don't I make good use of it!"
"That's me! Just be happy!"
"If it were someone else, you would be in big trouble if you got the chance to cover your head!"
Laughing and joking.
In the projection, the number of people in Octane’s live broadcast room reached an unprecedented 380,000.
Three hundred and eighty thousand spectators!
You must know!
On Twitch, a platform that displays the number of online viewers in real time, the number of viewers is real and not inflated at all.
In normal times, the peak number of people online in the most popular live broadcast room is only around 20,000 to 30,000 at most.
If there is an event or competition and there are more than 100,000 viewers, it is already considered the pinnacle of Twitch live streaming.
But now!
Even before Octane’s live broadcast started, there were already 380,000 people watching online!
At a time like this which is not really a festival, such a terrifying record of online viewers for live streaming was created.
It’s just because Octane will challenge the last two of the eight peak events in the next live broadcast——
【Master of Life】【Ultimate Trust】
At the same time, these are the only two challenges among the eight global top challenges that have not been broken through so far.
Yes.
With the concerted efforts of the players, Octane, who had completed the challenge for the first time, became the "Top Challenger" recommended and supported by many players.
Following everyone's advice, Octane has been using his account cautiously to carry out challenges.
When he is not completely sure, he usually uses accounts provided voluntarily by fans to take on challenges and familiarize himself with the route.
Then, when the time is right, he will switch back to his own account to take on the peak challenge.
Maybe the spirit of Catman in heaven is really blessing him.
So far, he has completed six of the eight challenges with the help of countless people.
And today.
In the game's Angel Falls in Venezuela, he will complete the final two challenges:
Climb up to Angel Falls and then take a leap into Impact Lake.
And this.
This will also be the closest opportunity for millions of players in the Peak Nation to uncover the Easter egg...
