Chapter 315: Honghuang will lose money if you are asked to do publicity
That's right.
The NPCs in this game have actually added AI algorithms, becoming semi-intelligent beings.
It can react based on what the player says, and even show emotions like anger!
“Amazing!”
Ouyang Xiao's eyes were full of stars.
Although it is just simple intelligence and cannot be compared with a real person, it still provides a different experience.
He immediately picked up a beautiful rapier excitedly and walked to the counter.
"Uncle, can you make this weapon cheaper? I'm just starting my adventure and I don't have that much money."
The timid voice echoed in the blacksmith shop.
As expected.
The blacksmith looked at .
"You are such a young girl, and you are taking risks. Aren't you afraid of losing your life? Well, I will be a good person and sell it to you for two copper coins. I will sell it to you for 8 copper coins."
What?!
Is this even possible? ?
The other players nearby were stunned.
The player who had just been scolded was now standing with his mouth open, looking as if he had seen a ghost.
"My goodness, this blacksmith boss is a man who only responds to soft words and not hard ones."
"I can't stop laughing. Are the NPCs in this game so unique?"
"No, I'm going to try it out after the public beta!"
The more they watched, the more anxious the audience became.
For them who were seeing a virtual game for the first time, everything was so new and interesting that they even wanted to pick up stones on the roadside and take a look at them.
This is the virtual world.
A virtual world where anything is possible.
Which player doesn’t yearn for this?
Not to mention Ouyang Xiao who was immersed in the situation.
After buying a new weapon with the initial 10 copper coins, he left the blacksmith shop happily and headed straight out of the city.
I've been wandering around the city for so long.
It's time to try to kill monsters and level up.
It was her first time fighting a monster face to face, and to be honest, she was a little nervous.
But when she saw many people running excitedly out of the city , she did not stop and quickly caught up with the main force.
soon.
A group of players passed through the city gate guarded by guards and came to the golden grassland outside.
The first floor of Aincrad is a beginner level, and its overall style tends to be serene and warm, and it is also the widest floor.
Raise your head and look into the distance.
You can also vaguely see a huge pillar standing between heaven and earth, supporting the space on the first and second floors.
"That's... a maze area!"
"The maze leading to the second floor!"
"It's just like in the anime."
"So the boss of the first floor is inside?"
Seeing this perfectly restored scene, the audience couldn't sit still.
Anyone who has followed the "Sword Art Online" anime knows that if you want to go to the second floor, you must enter the maze area and defeat the boss guarding the floor.
Moreover, the strength of the boss will increase with each level. Inside the "Red Jade Palace" on the 100th floor, there is a very terrifying maximum-level boss guarding it!
"Very good, the goal of these seven days of testing is to reach the second floor!"
Ouyang Xiao was full of vigor and pointed at the towering pillar with great ambition.
However.
The words just fell.
Suddenly, a scream was heard from the grassland in the distance.
“Ahhhh!! Help!”
Less than a hundred meters away, a player holding a long sword was shouting and running wildly, with a wild boar half a person's height chasing behind him, charging at him aggressively.
Finally there was a "bang".
The player was knocked away and fell flat on the grass, causing everyone else to laugh.
"Can you do it? You can't even beat a level 1 wild boar."
"Being chased by a newbie monster is so lame."
"That's right, there's obviously not much pain."
"Reality strikes hard, but the game is submissive, right?"
"Interesting, virtual games are really interesting haha."
"Watch me! I'll show you what real fighting skills are!"
Immediately, another player stepped out.
He looked very confident, and rushed straight towards the wild boar with his weapon drawn.
Others gathered around, cheering and watching the show, and the atmosphere was extremely lively.
But soon, there was another muffled sound.
The player had only walked two rounds in front of the wild boar before he was knocked away, which immediately attracted a lot of boos.
"Wow, is the battle that difficult?"
Ouyang Xiao, who witnessed all this, was not afraid, but was eager to try.
At the same time, she also discovered that there were no ranged professions or weapons in this game, and the only ranged function was throwing weapons.
If you want to fight monsters, it's probably going to be just like in the anime, requiring players to cooperate with each other, dodge and parry, and overcome the fear of facing monsters at close range.
This is still a bit difficult for many players who are used to sitting in front of the computer.
So as soon as we entered the grassland.
You can see this scene.
Countless players were everywhere, dodging the monsters' attacks clumsily and sluggishly, with the weapons in their hands slashing around indiscriminately.
From time to time, people were knocked away by monsters.
Or get bitten and scream in fear.
The scene was simply unbearable to watch.
But even so, no one felt bored.
On the contrary, they enjoy it and are immersed in it. They will even cheer for successfully killing a novice wild boar. If you don’t know, you might think they are killing the boss.
"Hey, what is that?"
Suddenly, Ouyang Xiao, who was walking into the grassland, noticed a raised yellow mound in the distance and approached it curiously.
Other players who had just defeated the monster nearby also came over curiously.
A dozen people gathered in a circle, looking at it in confusion, guessing that it might be a treasure chest buried underground.
“Treasure chest!”
Ouyang Xiao became alert upon hearing this.
He took a deep breath and bravely moved closer.
But the next second.
Swish!
A flash of light.
A group of wasps as big as heads suddenly appeared on the top of the mound, staring at them hungrily.
Ouyang Xiao first paused, then his expression changed drastically.
[Grassland Wasp (Level 2)]
[HP: 120/120]
“Oh my god!”
With a scream, Ouyang Xiao ran away.
The other players also showed fear on their faces and scattered.
Who would have thought.
The mound of dirt was not a treasure chest at all, but a wasp nest.
As long as you get close, the monster will spawn, and it is one level higher than the wild boar!
Ouyang Xiao had never seen such a big wasp before and was immediately frightened. He only wished he had not grown two more legs.
But she hadn't run far when she realized something was wrong.
Because the buzzing sound of flapping wings seemed to be getting closer and closer.
Looking back.
I was almost scared to death.
Three wasps the size of her head actually targeted her directly and approached her very quickly.
"Brother Wasp, Uncle Wasp, spare my life!"
Ouyang Xiao screamed repeatedly and almost knelt down to the Hornet.
However, the wasp did not give her any face and shot all kinds of poisonous needles at her, making her jump up and down.
The funny and bizarre scene made the other players and the audience laugh like crazy.
"That's amazing. Even the uncle called him."
"Where's your face, host?"
"It's just a level 2 monster, just kill it."
"Is this the strength of the Honghuang Propaganda Officer?"
"If Honghuang asks you to do publicity, you will lose a lot."
"The anchor has a bit of acute syrup on him."
"You still want to go to the second floor?"
The live broadcast effect of virtual games is quite explosive.
It feels like watching an outdoor anchor being chased by a dog, the sense of immersion is extremely strong.
This also made the entire live broadcast room much more popular than before, and the barrage of comments continued to emerge like a tide, almost forming a continuous piece.
What they don't know is.
Just as ten thousand first test players were working tirelessly to explore every corner of the game.
In the outside world, the news about the testing of the new game Honghuang was like an 18-magnitude earthquake, instantly sweeping across the country and causing an uproar on the Internet.
"What Honghuang released for testing was not a VR game, but a virtual game!?"
"Honghuang actually made a virtual device!!"
"Is the news reliable?"
“Someone is already live streaming?”
"Where is it? Let me check it out."
"Hey, this, this, what's going on!?"
"A virtual game! It's really a virtual game!"
After receiving the news, netizens rushed into various live broadcast rooms frantically.
then.
They were shocked by the scene before them.
Especially when I saw the hosts sleeping in front of the camera with their helmets on but still shouting in the game, I became even more excited.
Exploded.
The entire network exploded.
Not only game players, but also people who don't play games and even manufacturers from all walks of life were all excited.
Because this news is so sudden!
From the initial game promotion to the subsequent issuance of first test qualifications, Honghuang did not mention even a word related to virtual technology, making them think that the game released was a VR game that was just trying to attract attention.
But now.
But someone told them.
That's not a VR game, it's a virtual game!
Honghuang is ahead of everyone and has created virtual equipment!
"This is impossible !"
Penguin Group Headquarters.
The first reaction of the senior executives when they received the news was disbelief.
But when they hurriedly opened the live broadcast room and saw the indisputable fact, they were struck by lightning and all sat there in a daze.
Not to mention other manufacturers.
At this point, the place was already in uproar.
They were shocked by the news, held an emergency meeting, and asked people to find out all the information about the matter.
What's worse.
We began to privately contact those players who had obtained the qualifications for the first test, hoping to purchase their equipment so as to conduct technical analysis.
Under the temptation of huge profits.
Naturally, there are many people willing to sell.
There was even news that one player's device was sold for 150,000, which was a 10-fold increase in price!
However.
Netizens’ first reaction was not envy.
"Stupid! It's so stupid!"
“Those are the first batch of virtual devices in the world, and they’re actually sold!”
"If you give it to me, I won't sell it for even a million!"
"It's such a waste to give them the qualification for the first test!"
"If you don't want it, you can give it to me! I want to go in and see what it looks like!"
"Yeah, I dream of playing this kind of game once!"
"I'm watching the live broadcast right now. It's just like what they say online. It's so cool!"
In just a few hours, all the major live broadcast rooms of "Sword Art Online" were packed with people.
Even for those new anchors who started broadcasting for the first time, the number of viewers has soared to over one million, and is still rising rapidly.
Such a huge opportunity, and something of epoch-making significance.
150,000 yuan?
It's so stupid!
