Chapter 323 Warmth or rebate, that is the question
After exploring and fighting all the way, Cody and Xiaomei finally arrived at the innermost part of the hive.
Here, they met the final boss of the entire tree house - the Mechanical Queen.
This is a Wasp-style giant mecha assembled from discarded parts.
The mechanical queen is not only rich in health, but also has many wasp guards.
Even though the two men were equipped with gum guns and match crossbows, they had to go through several rounds of arduous and fierce battles before they managed to destroy it.
And with the big explosion, the head of the mechanical bee queen also fell to the ground, which was the control room of this giant mechanical bee.
But what is surprising is that when the cockpit cover opened, what rolled out was not an aggressive and fierce bumblebee, but a chubby, round little bumblebee with short wings, a furry body.
Yes.
This big tree house was originally the home of little bumble bees.
But suddenly one day, the bumblebees came.
The gentle and timid little bumble bee is naturally no match for the hornets, so the little bumble bee uses waste materials to build this mechanical queen, which can give orders to the wasps, protect itself, and at the same time give itself some honey, just like a seagull.
The whole order of French fries at the pier is the same.
But now.
As the mechanical shell was blown up by Cody and Xiaomei, Bumblebee's disguise also failed.
The bumblebees immediately discovered that it was not of the same kind, so they stepped forward to kill the little bumblebee.
At the critical moment, the little bumblebee took the two people to fly away from the huge hive. At the last moment, Cody fired the sap and Xiaomei fired the match to ignite it. The two of them jointly detonated the little bumblebee's honey jar and completely eliminated the danger in the big tree house.
huge wasp hive.
mission completed.
The two returned to General Squirrel's base to resume their duties.
But when General Squirrel saw that they came back with a bee (squirrels don't understand the difference between bumblebees and bumblebees), he immediately thought that they had rebelled, so without saying a word, he ordered an attack on the two code-named 'Nuts'.
'The hoeing operation!
In desperation, Gu Sheng and Shen Miaomiao boarded the big pants plane.
An unprecedented exciting air battle begins!
Shen Miaomiao, who was sitting on the cannon position, was wearing windproof glasses, screaming excitedly and fully immersed in the action!
In the narrow tree hole, the fresh wind blew past my ears, making a hunting sound.
The sights passing by on both sides are so fast that your adrenaline rushes.
It was not that Shen Miaomiao had never flown in an airplane before, but this was the first time in her life that she had experienced a World War I-style bi-wing attack aircraft, and it was also a heavy machine gunner!
Rotating the fixed axis, Shen Miaomiao looked through the cannon's sight and aimed at the Pinecone anti-aircraft gun on the left front:
"Report to the captain! Eleven o'clock on the left wing! Pine cone cannon! Request to attack!"
Woohoo——
Amidst the sound of the plane gliding, Gu Sheng shouted in the team voice:
"Permission to fire! Machine gunner! Kill them!"
"receive!"
Shen Miaomiao cheered and pulled the trigger of the machine gun!
Chug tug tug——
Chug tug tug——
boom--!!!
The anti-aircraft pinecone cannon was instantly destroyed by Shen Miaomiao's powerful firepower.
And before she could celebrate!
Boo! Chi——!
I saw another pine cone anti-aircraft gun firing between the trees and vines in front of me on the right.
The huge exploding pine cone was launched towards them like a missile!
Along with Shen Miaomiao's scream, she saw that the fighter jet was about to collide head-on with the Pinecone missile!
At this critical moment!
Woo——
Gu Sheng twisted the joystick, and the fighter plane performed a difficult barrel roll in the air. The plane instantly flipped 180 degrees, and the Pinecone missile almost flew past Shen Miaomiao's head!
"Wu——hu——!!!"
Shen Miaomiao's heart rate immediately increased!
So exciting!
At the same time, the machine gun in his hand burst out with tongues of fire, blasting the anti-aircraft gun. At the same time, he also did not forget to praise his captain:
"You're so handsome, Lao Gu! Wow! You're so handsome! When did you learn to fly a plane? You're so handsome!!!"
Ha ha!
Hearing this, Gu Sheng laughed and said silently about his past life.
I once flew over the Pearl of the Orient where the war was raging, I dominated the sky on the smoke-filled Iwo Jima, and I once roamed across the Sinai Desert where the yellow dust billowed.
I have caught countless French fries. I am a nightmare for infantry soldiers, a destroyer of ground vehicles, and a lifelong enemy for AA people.
It's just a barrel roll, not worth mentioning.
The operational feel of this air combat was good, and the experiment was a great success. I will accumulate data for future air combats.
Thinking of this, Gu Sheng laughed:
"Don't worry, sit tight and hold yourself tight, there's still one more round left!"
call--!!!
Talk!
Then I saw Gu Sheng returning the plane to the right direction.
The wooden door in front is slowly closing, and the tail of the underpants fighter jet sprays flames and accelerates suddenly!
Amid Shen Miaomiao's exclamations, the two of them successfully passed through General Squirrel's siege and flew out of the tree hole!
Then, before they could breathe a sigh of relief.
Huh-huh-!
Two squirrel fighter planes woven from grass blades suddenly bit their tails!
Da da da da da——
The pine nut machine gun fired, and instantly there were several holes in the big pants.
Shen Miaomiao shrank her neck and screamed in surprise, but then she pulled the trigger again, the cannon roared, and she fired back at the Squirrel fighter plane.
Fly! Chase!
Gu Sheng rolled with high intensity to avoid the intensive fire from the pursuing enemy, just like a hawk soaring in the dense forest with crisscrossed branches.
The shadows of the trees flew by quickly. Shen Miaomiao cooperated with Gu Sheng's defensive maneuvers and roared with the cannon in her hand, shooting down the pursuing Squirrel fighter jets one after another.
Boom! Boom!
The explosion resounded among the dense branches of the big tree.
The roar of flames and explosions is like the symphony of war, playing in this absurd and bizarre fairy tale world.
boom--!!!
As the last Squirrel fighter plane was shot down!
The two finally flew out of the dense jungle and rushed towards the attic cabin where their daughter was.
But right now!
[Eh-ha-!!!]
Suddenly, a roar came from the top of the tree.
Shen Miaomiao looked up and was suddenly startled!
But in the mid-air, a cloud of darkness suddenly came over.
General Squirrel suddenly rushed out, grabbed the vines and swung around, landing on the wing of the plane without missing a beat!
Bang!
Shen Miaomiao's machine cannon was instantly smashed and flew out.
Even she herself was almost thrown off if she didn't grab the wings of her pants in time!
"Ah——! Ha Mappi!"
Shen Miaomiao became angry immediately:
"Son, give me back my machine gun!!!"
You stinky squirrel, you go back on your word and dare to pursue us!
Think of this!
Suddenly, an invisible force surged into Shen Miaomiao's heart, and various fighting posture techniques took effect through the action assistance system, making her instantly self-taught!
Two long health bars were displayed on the UI, Shen Miaomiao and General Squirrel simultaneously assumed fighting postures, and the wings of the big pants instantly became a fighting venue!
"Punch me! Hey!"
"You - you still dare to accumulate strength! You haven't eaten! You can kick my ass!"
"Sweep Tang's leg, catch it, fly into the air and kick sideways! Ah da da da!"
"I-Uppercut!!!"
"..."
Gu Sheng couldn't help but laugh when he heard Shen Miaomiao fighting fiercely with the squirrel above his head.
The plane flew over the fresh branches, and lush green colors grew among the crisscrossing vines.
The free wind swept over the wings, she was making trouble, and he was laughing.
laugh--
As the somatosensory hatch opened, at Shen Miaomiao's request, the two of them took a break, drank water, went to the toilet, and so on.
Gu Sheng also walked out of the workroom and went to the living room to stretch his body a little.
Looking at the time, it was already past twelve o'clock in the morning.
Normally, this would be the time to wash up and go to bed.
But today, they were still full of energy. After all, they had only been awake for five or six hours.
And I don’t know if everyone is like them and recuperating their energy.
When I turned on the projection, I saw that the live broadcast platform was full of anchors who were live broadcasting "Two People Go Together"!
The event was extraordinary, there were even more people than the live broadcast at 7 or 8 pm!
And the game progress of most of the anchors is similar to them.
At this time, there was a heated discussion in the barrage——
'Holy shit - this game is awesome!'
‘I thought the design of exclusive equipment was already the ceiling, but it turned out to be an exciting air battle’
'And after the aerial combat, there is still a fight!'
‘Fighting is so fun. Damn, Xiao Huang’s action-assisted skills are really not in vain. I will transform into Jacky Chen’
'But in terms of screen performance, it is better on the PC platform. It becomes a side-scrolling combat, which is very interesting.'
'I'm just going to punch forward and forward!'
‘This game is fucking amazing’
‘The organizers of GDC are probably grinning crookedly. One Escape game was released at GDC, and this two-player version was released at GDCA. They are both masterpieces.’
‘I can’t stop whining. The more I play, the more reluctant I am to play, but I can’t control it.’
‘…’
Looking at it.
I heard footsteps clicking behind me.
Immediately afterwards, the delicate arms naturally wrapped around his neck, and the shoulders sank slightly. Shen Miaomiao, who stood on tiptoes, put her face on his shoulders:
"What are you looking at?"
"Let's see what the players say,"
After saying that, Gu Sheng asked again:
"what do you think?"
“Fun,”
Shen Miaomiao answered without thinking:
"I have never played such a fun game, but it also has some flaws."
"oh?"
Hearing this, Gu Sheng raised his eyebrows slightly and asked:
"What's the fly in the ointment?"
Shen Miaomiao thought for a moment:
"Although in the somatosensory cabin, the performance of the game has been significantly improved, and the sense of immersion is unparalleled,"
"But there is a little less feeling...um...what does it feel like..."
"Yes,"
Gu Sheng also asked:
"How does it feel?"
"Um--"
Shen Miaomiao pondered for a moment, then loosened her arms around Gu Sheng's neck, stepped towards the sofa, then plopped down and sat down, a flash of inspiration flashed:
"That's right! It doesn't feel like messing around in the kitchen anymore!"
Yes.
The immersive experience of the somatosensory cabin is certainly wonderful.
But Shen Miaomiao always felt that this game seemed to be missing something.
But the problem is, it's obvious that "Twins" and "Escape" are the same type of games, so why didn't I feel such a sense of shortcoming in "Escape"?
Think about it.
It was not until she sank into the sofa and felt the familiar feeling of relaxation that Shen Miaomiao realized where this feeling of deficiency came from——
When two people go together, they seem to lose a sense of warmth of cuddling with each other.
Although we can fully immerse ourselves in this fairy tale world in the somatosensory cabin, the distance between us is also widened by the thick somatosensory cabin.
Novelty, excitement and playability are indeed enough.
But the warmth of two people sitting together holding a controller and completing the level is greatly reduced.
Speaking of which, they haven't sat down to play games together for a long, long time since they cleared the Wacky Kitchen and helped the Onion King defeat the Pasta Demon.
"Of course, I'm just talking."
Thinking of this, Shen Miaomiao bared her little white teeth and smiled.
This game is already great enough.
Unheard of forms of cooperation, unprecedented novel experiences, and all kinds of surprises.
You can't be too talkative. You can't have your cake and eat it too. Now that you've experienced the novel gameplay and modes, don't be greedy anymore.
Besides!
If this game were to be released on the PC platform, the gameplay would probably be a huge hit.
You know, since the "Two People Go" project was established, the most critical reason why she has never interfered or discouraged Lao Gu's normal promotion is that the investment in this game project is too high, and the settlement time is too short. ——
The total investment in this game has reached a terrifying $212 million.
Including the 25% commission, their sales need to reach 283 million to be considered a return on investment.
Based on the selling price of 60 knives per serving, a total of 4.72 million units need to be sold!
and!
Like "Escape", "Two People" also has a sales model where one person can buy it and two people can play it.
In other words, if they want "Two People to Go" to make money back, they need to at least attract the support and play of more than 9 million players within the specified time!
This is simply impossible.
Because as of now, the global sales volume of somatosensory cabins combined by Yiyou and Xunteng is just over nine million.
Unless Two Players can perfectly unite these nine million players, and everyone wants to play the game.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to complete this project document.
not to mention!
The settlement time given in this document is only two weeks and 14 days.
No matter how hard Gu Sheng tries, the market is here, and he can never be bigger than the market, let alone replicate the miracle of Titanfall, which accounted for 103% of the market.
Therefore, Shen Miaomiao had not paid much attention to this project, and had not even asked about it. She was just lying down and waiting for the rebate.
There would be no warm gaming experience without a controller.
There is no warmth but rebates.
Anyway, after they clear the customs tomorrow, they will have plenty of time to get tired of it.
Thinking of this, Shen Miaomiao stood up, grinned, and pulled Gu Sheng up, her big eyes full of expectation:
"Let's go, let's stop looking. I can't wait to see what the next level is..."
However!
The words have not yet been spoken!
He saw Gu Sheng bending down.
From the side table of the sofa, he took out a pair of wireless elite handles and handed one to her.
