Chapter 63 Even Satan has to call you Big Brother
One game brought the popularity of "Need for Speed" to a new peak.
The bustling scene and the skyrocketing sales data surprised the manufacturers who had been paying attention to this game.
"This is really weird. Didn't they say that racing games are not very popular? Why is there such an exaggerated online rate?"
"It made it into the top 100 on the first day's sales chart. What a huge traffic volume this must have."
“Is this kind of game starting to gain popularity?”
"Quick, bring back the previously terminated project!"
All major game manufacturers did not expect that the market demand for racing games would be so great and the response would be so positive, achieving such impressive results on the first day.
They couldn't sit still any longer, so they took out their previously shelved plans and continued to develop them.
Some even revamped the racing games they have been operating for many years, launching something like a soaring public beta or a nostalgic remake in an attempt to sell some sentiments.
In short, they are finding various ways to deceive players.
This is a new game, come and play.
"Really? All you do is do this all day long. Do you really think the players are fools?"
In the team lounge, the youngest apprentice cursed and turned off the official announcements from the major manufacturers.
In addition to practicing driving with his master, his favorite thing to do is to play various racing games. How could he not know the demands of players of this type of game?
It's not something that can be fooled by some outdated nostalgic thing.
Instead of being nostalgic, you might as well update more new things that keep up with the times.
The young apprentice curled his lips and prepared to turn off the computer and go out to practice driving.
But unexpectedly, a roar suddenly came from outside the door.
"You bastard, you are really being lazy here!"
The master with a towel hanging on his shoulder had a calm expression on his face. He walked in from outside in a mighty manner along with several fellow apprentices.
"master."
The young apprentice was startled and quickly stood up.
The master came over and glanced at the open computer , and asked, "What are you secretly watching here again?"
"I'm watching... Hong Huang's new game. Yes, that new game that asked us to shoot CG!"
The young apprentice thought quickly and found a very reasonable reason.
He even moved his hands quickly to open the previously saved game interface.
Just as the master was about to scold him, the eldest apprentice beside him suddenly interrupted: "So it's this game. I heard they are going to hold a competition tomorrow night, and the first place will get a prize of 10,000 yuan."
Contest?
bonus?
The master was stunned when he heard this, and then looked at the game interface.
What is displayed above is the introduction of the official event.
When he saw the first place prize, his eyes narrowed instantly and he glanced at his apprentice beside him: "Boy, how good are you at playing this kind of game?"
"Master, why do you suddenly ask this?" The young apprentice was a little puzzled.
"Just answer the question directly!" The master glared at him.
"Uh, this... probably somewhere in the upper reaches? The physics engine of this game is very realistic, so I will have a greater advantage here."
"Upstream? Well, I'll give you a task. Participate in this competition tomorrow night and bring me the championship!"
"ah?"
Not to mention the young disciple himself, even his senior brothers and sisters were stunned for a moment, thinking they had heard it wrong.
The master's face turned serious: "Why are you all looking at me like that? Don't you think that if this kid wins the championship in the competition, it will be equivalent to giving our team free advertising!"
"Advertisement?"
"Why the hell didn't I think of that?"
"Master Niu Wa!"
"As expected, old ginger is still spicy!"
Everyone's eyes suddenly lit up when they reacted.
Because as far as they know, there are quite a few people participating in this competition, and many of them are big names in the gaming circle.
If they can take this opportunity to promote it, it will definitely be of great help to their team’s own media.
" So , I don't have to practice driving these few days?" the young apprentice said eagerly.
"Why are you still practicing driving? Hurry up and play the game. If you don't get a rank, I'll beat you up!"
"Okay, okay, I promise to complete the task!"
The little apprentice's mouth was almost grinning from ear to ear. Is there anything more enjoyable in the world than playing games at work?
There's no time to waste. I immediately entered the game, drove my favorite sports car, and went to the Akina Mountain race track to practice.
…
In a blink of an eye.
The day of the competition has arrived.
Chen Lin stood in the office area of the Liming team, watching the employees controlling the activities in real time behind the scenes.
As the first official event they held, this online competition naturally received great attention, and almost all the remaining employees gathered around.
Even Lao Li and his team from Dawn were waiting here early, ready to gain experience.
"Mr. Chen, the publicity effect of this event is really good. How about we also hold a speedrunning event for Only Up?"
After looking at it enviously for a while, Lao Li finally couldn't help but speak.
"Hold a speedrun for Only Up?"
Chen Lin almost spit out the tea he had just drunk.
How could such a simple and honest guy like you say such inhumane words?
Even if Satan were alive, he would probably call you "big brother".
"Forget it. There will be plenty of opportunities to hold such competitions in the future."
Chen Lin wiped the sweat from his forehead. He didn't want to be chased around the street by players with kitchen knives when he went out.
While they were chatting, 8 o'clock arrived, the event finally started, and the players began to compete one after another.
Chen Lin took a look and saw that because it was an online competition, there were a lot of people participating in the competition. They could only be divided into racing rooms and the top two would be decided in the room.
Then they pair up with each other and continue the competition.
The final round will be held when only eight contestants remain.
"Huh? The number one in this room almost broke the previous fastest record."
At this time, Lao Song next to him suddenly spoke up and looked at one of the rooms where the game had just finished in surprise.
[ID: Lin Daiyu in the Maple Forest]
This is the game ID of that player. It seems like she is a female player?
This made Chen Lin and several others surprised.
then.
One game after another ended.
Those players with strong racing skills are gradually coming to the fore.
Many of them are well-known racing masters and anchors in the circle, and of course there are also many new IDs that have never been seen before.
For example, [Curving in the Ditch], [Mercedes-Benz Owner], [Mogi Natsuki’s Husband], [Speed Racers Don’t Need Women], you can tell at first glance that they are from CG animation.
Chen Lin didn't expect that there were so many strong players among the anime fans, and several of them even made it into the semi-finals.
But what surprised him most was Lin Daiyu.
According to the registration information, this player is indeed a female, and it is her first time playing a racing game.
As a newcomer to the game, he overcame all obstacles and finally made it to the semi-finals at an extremely fast speed. He also defeated many well-known players, causing an uproar among the spectating players.
Perhaps this is a talent that some people are born with.
Sometimes I really can’t envy you enough.
