Chapter 393: Want my treasure? Then go find it
"Hahaha……"
"What is this?"
Listening to the protagonist's confession, the players who were watching the movie couldn't help but laugh out loud.
God damn great hero.
This is actually a movie CG with Honghuang himself as the background!
And it’s set in a future world.
"Good guy, Hong Huang is not pretending anymore, right?"
"I used to brag about games, now I brag about myself."
"So this is Hong Huang's confession?"
"I understand. The male protagonist is the prehistoric world itself!"
"It's quite interesting. I'd like to see more."
Just one opening scene caught everyone's attention and increased their interest in this special CG.
They want to see what new things Honghuang will do this time.
Just thinking about it.
The male protagonist has arrived at his secret base in the garbage dump and put on the virtual device to log into the platform.
The audience was just about to complain about Honghuang implanting their own devices, but the screen flashed to the virtual world.
With a burst of ethereal BGM, the male protagonist's perspective seems to be traveling in space, quickly shuttling through the void, passing through a familiar pixel game scene.
Some viewers were stunned at first, then reacted.
"Fuck, isn't this my world?"
As soon as the words were spoken, the camera swept over the pixel map and the title of "Minecraft".
Vaguely.
You can also see busy figures below, little zombie spiders, and castles built with blocks.
Then the screen switched, passing over the games they were familiar with.
Racing, rock climbing, travel and vacation, virtual sports field, StarCraft, Warcraft, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, Pokémon...
Almost all the games under Honghuang flashed before their eyes one by one, and many high-quality masterpieces with explosive sales on the Honghuang platform also appeared on the screen.
We even saw planets that had been transformed into gaming venues and tourist destinations, which were both spectacular and fantastic.
"Is this the Great World of Primordial Desolation ?"
“They even have games from other manufacturers!”
"It's worthy of the prehistoric times."
"Having many copyrights means being arrogant."
"Is this the strength of the virtual No. 1 brother?"
The audience laughed continuously, as if they were playing a game of spot the differences, carefully identifying the games that appeared on the screen.
Every time a new game appears, it stirs up a stir among the moviegoers, as if they are taking stock of past games.
final.
The camera moves through all game scenes.
Enter a place like a time tunnel.
The audience could recognize it at a glance; it was the login screen of Honghuang Virtual.
This strong sense of déjà vu made them not know how to complain.
I’ve seen product placements, but I’ve never seen one so blatant. If it were any other manufacturer, it would have been out of business long ago.
However, even with such a CG movie opening, Honghuang made it look like a sci-fi blockbuster, constructing a virtual world full of fantasy for them.
[People come to the Great World because they can show off their talents here. ]
[But people choose to stay because they can change their appearance at will, tall, beautiful, scary, change gender, different species, live-action version, animated version... whatever you choose.]
[This is a world where you don’t need to worry about anything and can fully express yourself. ]
As the narration ended, the BGM suddenly became passionate.
The camera swept across the sky over a towering city like a drone, and finally arrived at the login square in the center of the prehistoric world.
Players of all shapes and sizes entered the virtual world and spread out in all directions, just like what they saw every day.
But after seeing those characters, the audience couldn't hold back anymore.
"Fuck! Ghost Swordsman!"
"Isn't that Chun-Li?"
"It's so funny that even Arthas has one."
“Is this a real recording?”
"Who is so slutty as to use a big-mouthed flower as a character?"
"You can do whatever you want if you have copyright, right?"
That’s right!
Any player who frequently logs into the Honghuang platform can basically recognize that the scene in front of them is exactly when they appear in the Honghuang central square.
I didn't expect it was recorded by Honghuang and used in the movie. It really made me laugh so hard.
But soon.
Their attention was once again drawn to the picture.
Especially those shooting game lovers.
【District 12: Planet Destruction】
Subtitles appeared, and the place where they were standing suddenly turned into a dark planet with lightning and thunder.
The entire surface of the planet was filled with shouts and cries of killing. Countless players, armed with weapons and guns, were frantically fighting against the opposing army of alien beasts. The sky full of artillery fire almost swept the entire battlefield.
They were shocked by the exciting battle scenes and the scorched earth ruins that stretched as far as the eye could see.
"Are you transforming an entire planet into a battlefield?"
"Fuck that's so cool!"
"Is this also the content of the Great World of Primordial Desolation?"
"I always thought that the Great World of Primordial Desolation only had that main city outside!"
Obviously, the CG of this movie uses the primitive world as its background, at least part of it.
But just this part has completely shattered their previous conjectures about the "primordial world".
This is not just a simple game with realistic elements added.
It is a virtual world that is far beyond their imagination!
"Eh? Isn't this the boss of Honghuang? He's on camera too?"
Suddenly, Ouyang Xiao in the crowd uttered a puzzled sound and looked at the figure that appeared on the screen with surprise.
At this time, the scene has come to a press conference venue. The character played by Chen Lin is sitting on the stage, introducing the prehistoric virtual equipment to the people below.
[Honghuang World is the brainchild of Chen Lin, who released the first generation of virtual equipment in 2025 and is known as the father of virtual games. ]
[He not only owns the world's largest virtual game company, but is also a god-like existence in the game industry, having created many top games that cannot be surpassed.]
[But on January 7, 2077, he passed away...]
"ah?"
Including Ouyang Xiao, all the audience who saw this were stunned, with strange expressions as weird as they could be.
Some people laughed uncontrollably.
"Good fellow, sacrificing himself right at the start?"
"Are you going to make such a big move right from the start?"
"Boss Honghuang took to the field in person and sacrificed himself, hahahaha..."
"I can only say this wave of operations is a 6-fold increase."
"Boss Honghuang: When I start to do something, I don't even spare myself."
It’s confirmed.
This CG movie.
It's just Honghuang promoting himself.
If even one's own boss can be sacrificed, is there any trick that Honghuang can't come up with?
What made them even more unbearable was.
After the narration mentioned that Boss Honghuang had passed away, the originally rhythmic BGM suddenly became lagging and weird.
Chen Lin was lying in a black coffin, surrounded by white wreaths.
It was... quite sudden.
It has a humorous style.
There was just a group of spectators gathered around the coffin. The lively scene was hilarious no matter how you looked at it.
It actually felt like I was here to observe a moment of silence to bid farewell to Chen Lin.
"Hahahaha...Mr. Chen, so this is the role you're playing?"
In the Honghuang studio, Lao Li and others who were checking the viewing situation through the internal line were already laughing so hard that they couldn't straighten their backs.
They all knew that Chen Lin also participated in the CG.
But I didn't expect it to be a character who died suddenly at the beginning.
Especially when they saw Chen Lin lying peacefully in the coffin, it was hard for them not to doubt the mental state of the photography team at the time. They were probably so desperate to hold back their laughter that they got sick.
"Ahem, it's necessary for the plot. There's no need to make a fuss about it."
Chen Lin coughed twice, his expression was indescribable.
To be honest, it was a bit difficult to see the character I played from a third-person perspective, and I finally understood how the employees felt when shooting CG.
Fortunately, he doesn't take up much of the plot.
With his "death", a video that he had altered was also presented in the CG movie, which was the scene of him sitting in the coffin facing the camera.
【Hello everyone, I am Chen Lin. 】
[When you see this video, I'm gone.]
[Before leaving, I designed something that people in the industry call an "easter egg", which is divided into three keys and placed in the prehistoric world.]
[The first person to find it will receive a huge fortune I left behind, and...]
[Want my treasure? If so, go find it in the game. I put it all there.]
[The Easter egg hunt of the prehistoric times begins now! 】
The sound fades away and the camera zooms out.
The title "Ready Player One" also appeared, and the main film officially began.
But the audience didn't care about these things, but were shocked by the words in the video.
"Hidden Easter eggs?"
"Are there hidden Easter eggs in the Great World?"
"Will I get a reward if I find it?"
"Oh my god, this can't be true?!"
"Take notes! Take notes quickly!"
Now, the audience became excited.
They have a strong feeling that this is not just a simple CG clip, but implies that there are hidden Easter eggs in the prehistoric world.
Because Honghuang might really do that!
If you find the three keys, wouldn't you be able to obtain that huge fortune?
During the discussion, everyone became more interested in this CG and watched it carefully.
soon.
The male protagonist introduced the background.
Passing through the modern technology square with uneven heights, we arrived in front of a game portal.
Need for Speed: Most Wanted
Just one glance and the audience was instantly stunned.
Ouyang Xiao in the live broadcast room was even happier.
"So the first key is hidden in the game Need for Speed?"
no way.
This hint is too obvious.
And the scene of entering the game is exactly the same as the central square of Honghuang, which makes them wonder whether Honghuang is secretly inserting Easter eggs or advertising in disguise.
"Need for Speed, I'm good at it, I'll go into the game and see if I can find any Easter eggs."
In the voice channel, Xiaoqian, who had unlocked all car models, spoke.
She had spent a lot of time unlocking all the car models for both Need for Speed games, so she knew the game very well.
And the male protagonist in the picture thought the same as they did.
Go through the "Need for Speed" portal and enter the game directly. Participate in the death racing competition and you will get the key as long as you reach the finish line.
A fierce racing competition began.
