Chapter 356: Six Dittos, a 50-50 Match Against Everyone
The E3 show is still going on.
Amid the enthusiastic pursuit of tourists from all over the world, time quickly came to the second day.
Compared to the opening ceremony on the first day.
The second day saw significantly more tourist traffic.
Early in the morning.
Thousands of people flocked to the venue, gathered in front of various exhibition areas, participated in activities, and purchased peripheral products.
The suitcase I brought was also changed to the largest one.
"With yesterday's preparations, there should be more people in our exhibition area today, right?"
A number of managers from major manufacturers' exhibition areas stood outside, observing the situation in other places.
After yesterday's hard promotion, their reputation has basically spread and the response has been good. Visitors are full of praise for their new gaming equipment.
Just one night passed.
A large number of reports about them began to appear on the Internet, adding fuel to the propaganda.
Especially since Suo Ni is the person in charge of Tiandi, he is in high spirits.
"Minister, we counted yesterday that the online pre-orders for virtual devices on the first day exceeded 1 million units."
"Very good, keep it up."
1 million on the first day was already much better than they expected, as other competitors were only hovering around 500,000.
As expected, the user base on the host side gave them a huge advantage.
Even on the Juying side, sales have reached over 800,000.
Many players who were reluctant to spend more than 10,000 yuan on Honghuang came here for the price reduction competition.
The price of no more than ten thousand attracted some players and provided them with a lot of sales.
"Strange, why are there so many people in Honghuang?"
At this time, Suoni, the person in charge of the world, looked towards the Honghuang exhibition area closest to them.
A little different than they expected.
I thought Honghuang wouldn't be able to survive until the next day relying on that casual game.
As a result, the place was already packed with people as soon as it started, and the bustle was even more exaggerated than yesterday.
From time to time, there were even cries of mountain torrents and tsunamis.
"Why is this happening?"
"Why is our game inferior to theirs? Is it really because of the level of realism?"
The two persons in charge looked puzzled. They really couldn't understand why their huge investment in a 3A-level masterpiece could lose to that kind of game.
final.
The only reason can be attributed to the degree of realism.
After all, Honghuang's equipment is indeed twice as good as theirs, which is an indisputable fact.
Just at this moment.
A group of players hurried past them and headed straight for the prehistoric exhibition area.
"Hurry up, I heard that Honghuang has unlocked the gym challenge!"
"Those who succeed in the challenge will receive a limited edition Poké Ball Alarm Clock!"
"There is also a complete set of ornaments of the three great families!"
"I've been waiting for this for a long time, I must get it this time!"
Several players walked away, and the sound echoed in the ears of the person in charge, and his brows suddenly frowned deeper.
It’s the surrounding area!
The peripheral products of the game Honghuang.
It’s so popular among players!
The moment they came to this conclusion, they were so angry that they almost vomited blood.
They work hard to arrange game design venues and organize activities in order to attract more players, promote the sales of virtual equipment, and seize the prehistoric market.
But who would have thought.
Honghuang actually started selling peripheral products.
With this level of popularity alone, I'm sure they can make a fortune from peripheral sales!
Moreover, the circulation of peripheral products is also a disguised form of promotion for the game. No wonder they have not been able to attract people!
Because they this shooting and racing game.
It’s really hard to produce peripheral products…
"It's not shameful to make money to supplement the family income."
Behind the scenes of the Honghuang exhibition area, Chen Lin looked at the sales report submitted by the employees and his face showed joy.
Just half a day yesterday.
Their peripheral products sold nearly 10 million!
As a result, the sales of virtual devices have also increased.
The flow of people at the E3 exhibition is really terrifying.
"Mr. Chen, we are back!"
At this time, Xiaoli and Xiaowei hurried back from outside, their faces full of excitement.
They just went out for a walk and had a good experience of this international event, and gained a lot.
Chen Lin put away the form and looked at them: "Don't just play around, have you forgotten the important things?"
"No, we did as you said and played several other games that have virtual devices."
"How does it feel?"
"Well... it's indeed much better than Penguin. Except for the slightly worse clarity, it doesn't feel uncomfortable anymore. At most, I'll feel a little dizzy when I go offline, but I'll recover quickly."
"Okay, well done."
Chen Lin touched , looking thoughtful.
The performance of these virtual devices was better than he had imagined.
It is inevitable that players who are not too particular about picture quality and details will buy equipment for a lower price.
It is still unrealistic to expect one company to dominate the entire virtual market.
However, when the enemy comes, we will fight him with our soldiers; when the water comes, we will block it with earth.
He had expected this day to come, so there was nothing to worry about.
Even if I have to worry.
We should also worry about the exhibition area being overcrowded.
Think of this.
Chen Lin couldn't help but look at the crowded trial area in the distance.
…
"Haha, it's finally my turn!"
In the game, the Nibi Gym from the anime is completely restored.
A college player excitedly stood on the dojo and challenged the gym owner Xiaogang.
"Come on! We must win the surrounding rewards!"
Several of his companions cheered him on.
The other players gathered around. There were two hundred trial spots available, and about seventy or eighty people came, surrounding the gym completely.
Even Ouyang Xiao and others who had already played the game yesterday were waiting in the back, watching and queuing up to challenge.
"The Nibi Gym is a rock-type. Although we can freely choose pets from the initial area in today's trial, there is no pet that can restrain rock-types. We need to study tactics carefully."
"How about trying the weakening method? I saw several Pokémon with skills that reduce their attributes. The physical attack and defense of the rock type are too strong."
"This is too slow. By the time you stack up, they'll be killed. How about a blood-recovery and blood-reduction flow? Use blood-recovery skills and continuous damage to grind the opponent to death."
"No, no, Geodude's rolling damage is cumulative every round, so it can't be added up at all."
The four of them were talking to each other, working hard to study tactics.
But after talking for a long time, we still couldn't reach a consensus.
In the end, everyone can only think for themselves and use the lineup they think is most useful.
"Pikachu!"
Just then, a cry of surprise was heard from the stage.
The college student who just came on stage to challenge had not lasted five minutes before the last Pikachu was knocked off the stage by Onix, and the challenge failed.
"So funny! Don't you know that Electric-type has no effect on Ground-type Onix?"
The other players made fun of it, and suddenly they felt like they had it covered.
As a result, among several people who went up, only one succeeded in the challenge.
Later, others wanted to learn and found that Xiaogang on the opposite side would randomly change strategies and had stronger intelligence than ordinary NPCs.
The same lineup was beaten up right after they went on stage, and ran off the stage in disgrace.
"It's my turn, it's my turn!"
Because most people choose to fight in real time, each duel goes by very quickly, and it is Xiaoqian's turn to play soon.
When the other players saw that it was a female trainer, their eyes lit up.
"Come on, Xiaoqian! We're counting on you!"
Ouyang Xiao and the other two cheered for them from the audience.
"It's safe, I'll definitely win this time!"
Xiaoqian turned around and posed a confident pose towards them, then took out the treasure ball from her backpack.
Under the gaze of dozens of eyes, he was thrown into the field.
"Go ahead! It's decided to be you!"
The Poké Ball opened and the light came on.
A purple slimy figure appeared in the manufacturer, confronting the Onix from a distance.
"Bai... Ditto??"
The cheers of Ouyang Xiao and the other two paused.
The other players also showed strange expressions.
This guy.
Could it be that he brought six Dittos into the game?
"Hey, how about this? I'll transform into whatever the opponent has, so that it's a 50-50 fight no matter how we fight!"
Xiaoqian turned around and looked at them proudly, feeling that she was really smart.
Ditto only has one skill and cannot learn other skills.
But it has a special ability, which is to transform into the opponent's appearance and use the same skills as the opponent.
but……
Imagination is beautiful, but reality is cruel.
"Go Ditto, use Transform on Onix!"
As soon as the battle started, Xiaoqian gave orders directly to Ditto.
In a burst of twisting and deformation, the ball of purple mud gradually turned into the shape of a giant rock snake.
But she forgot.
Although she chose real-time combat, she has a skill that causes stiffness in casting, which is also called a soft turn by players.
Just when her Ditto transformed successfully, the voice of the gym leader Brock was heard from the other side.
"Onix, Quicksand Abyss!"
Boom boom
The bottom edge vibrated violently, turning into a patch of sand visible to the naked eye, directly giving Ditto a negative buff, causing it to suffer damage every time it attacked.
"Ah! You have no moral principles!"
Seeing the opponent taking the initiative, Xiaoqian finally panicked.
Xun'er and others who were watching below covered their faces with their hands and pretended not to know her.
"I've tried the game once, but you still don't know about the concept of first move and second move? Every time you use the transformation skill, it consumes a round, so the opponent will always attack first. With the same pet, how can you win..."
Everyone was really amused by Xiaoqian's clever idea.
Those who didn't know the reason suddenly realized it after hearing the explanation and silently deleted the Ditto lineup they had just assembled.
It was just as expected.
After the six Dittos took their turns.
Xiaoqian was booed off the stage, feeling embarrassed and angry.
I wish I could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
fortunately.
With the experience of yesterday's trial play, Xun'er and Yaya were lucky enough to succeed in the challenge after they came on stage, which finally made their small group proud.
And then.
All kinds of weird and strange Pokémon combinations appear on the stage.
The entire Nibi Gym was filled with constant shouting, making it extremely lively.
The trial area was crowded with people, all attracted by this gym challenge event.
It's more like a game trial.
It’s more like an offline gathering of Pokémon fans.
At this time, the game and animation "Pokemon" gradually revealed the power of its IP, distinguishing itself from the games in other exhibition areas.
Yes.
Social attributes.
This is the biggest difference between "Pokémon" and other games!
It is also the biggest weapon for the rapid rise of this IP!
"Almost done, let's open that side too. There are too many people and we need to divide them up."
Behind the scenes of the exhibition area, Chen Lin looked at the increasing number of tourists and spoke to Lao Li and the employees.
And then not long after.
A trial play area was opened in the exhibition area.
However, the trial version is not the virtual version, but the PC and mobile versions that everyone is familiar with.
The tourists who were originally crowded in the virtual trial area suddenly rushed here and scrambled for seats to try out the games.
Seeing this, other exhibition areas were not to be outdone and they all brought out their best activities to attract tourists, creating a fierce competition at the entire exhibition site.
But anyone with a discerning eye knows it.
The protagonists of this exhibition are only those manufacturers that launched virtual devices.
Other game manufacturers are just supporting roles.
The only thing that shocked them was the prehistoric world.
It turned out that they relied on a casual pet-raising game to block the joint attack of several major companies.
Not only is there no sign of collapse, but it is becoming more and more popular, almost becoming the most dazzling presence in the entire E3 exhibition!
Let those who want to see Honghuang suffer a defeat.
All hopes are dashed!
