On December 22, the tenth floor of the Jindu Building in Shanghai was packed with seats.
The auction has not yet started, and the venue is buzzing. About one-third of the players, one-third of the institutions, and one-third of the media are present. Most of the media are foreign media, so there is a lot of blond hair.
The green-eyed international friends were holding long guns and short guns, and most of them looked serious, which was somewhat incompatible with the relaxed and joyful atmosphere of the scene.
Canaan has received mixed reviews internationally, and conspiracy theories have not completely disappeared, but this does not prevent the majority of game enthusiasts from voting with their feet and giving Canaan high praise.
The popularity has been very high, and with the smooth progress of the third test, a large amount of information and videos about the game have been circulated, and gradually penetrated into all aspects of society.
Some star players, who also have a lot of support abroad, have no gaming qualifications, so they find a favorite player to take the perspective, which becomes their only choice out of desperation.
Domestic capital has realized the huge business opportunities, and the cloud gaming model has become popular. Many institutions and companies looking for players to cooperate have agreements with a "cloud gaming perspective". However, players are generally not very enthusiastic and can use other methods.
Gain huge wealth and benefits from the game.
Too troublesome!
It has to be said that players are really a lucky group, and they are willing to go out of their way to please foreign audiences.
The organizer was doing the final tense adjustments when suddenly a burst of noisy movement appeared outside the door. The door of the convention and exhibition center was opened. The most famous second generation rich in China, a senior official in the entertainment industry and the "praise" of the nation's husband, Lin Cong,
With a large group of players under his banner, they rushed in with cheers.
"This guy has a helmet too?"
"It doesn't seem like that. I saw him posting on Weibo before, saying that he had mobilized many people to help arrange the numbers but none of them were selected, hehe..."
"Then why is he here?"
"It seems to be a guild, and there are players under its control."
"Are you not allowed to recruit?"
"Come on, look at how many organizations there are. They're nothing more than clever names."
"Gan, with these people who are not short of money, we can't even hope to take good pictures."
During this discussion, Lin Cong very domineeringly led someone to sit in the middle of the seat near the front row.
After another ten minutes, people came in one after another. Fan Chaoyue, wearing a peaked cap and sunglasses, lowered his head all the way, followed Sister Hong and company executives to enter in a low-key manner at the last moment.
"Mr. Lin is in front, do you want to say hello?"
The assistant whispered in Sister Hong's ear.
Sister Hong responded and looked to the front row, her eyes met Lin Cong's, and they smiled and nodded.
"No need... Beyond, is Lin Cong still pestering you?"
"He? No more."
"Don't get involved with this kind of person. A famous loudmouth will not be good for your career."
"I know, I know, are you bothered..."
At this time, a domestic media turned the camera to include several people. Sister Hong and the others immediately showed decent smiles and said no more.
"... Distinguished guests, fellow media colleagues, ladies and gentlemen, good afternoon, everyone. Adhering to the country's policy of vigorously developing **, out of the needs of **, and with the support and care of certain superior units and leaders,
Today we are all here together, for the arrival of the first year of the metaverse, for our common second home for mankind, for... now I announce that the first virtual item auction of Canaan Online has officially opened, please invite the magic city below..."
The audience burst into applause. While listening to the official speech of a certain leader, Fan Chaoyue lowered his head and played with his mobile phone, watching the simultaneous live broadcast on it, as well as the barrage of players and cloud players.
When I see the happy places, I can't help but smile. When I see the angry places, I point my fingers at the screen, as if I can kill those who slander me.
"I was still wondering why the higher-ups were so proactive about such a new thing, but now I suddenly understand."
"Uh, what do you think, Mr. Liu?"
"The common second home of mankind is enough to illustrate the intentions of the higher-ups."
"I think it's very difficult. According to the current testing pace, even if it's open testing in the future, I'm afraid we won't be able to allow everyone to enter this second home."
“Everyone doesn’t need to enter...what the top management cares about is soft power!”
"Oh, good seeing, good seeing"
"Stop talking nonsense to me. Don't you know? I don't know why you are so active in developing overseas business?"
"Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to catch the wind?"
"Well said, the wind is coming, do you see how many pigs are flying in the sky?"
"I can't tell you this, hehe..."
Zhang Miao feels out of place here.
The air here, the layout here, the specifications here, the people here... are usually only seen on TV.
And now, as one of the protagonists, he frequently received attention from all directions, which made him restless and didn't want to stay for a second longer.
The other four teammates were not much better. They were flustered, short of breath, and lacked confidence...
Alas, I am still at home in my own doghouse.
The official opening remarks finally passed, and the auction immediately got down to business.
Under the host's enthusiastic explanation, the graceful beauty in cheongsam came up with a silver plate. The auctioneer uncovered the cashmere cloth covering it, and suddenly there was an ancient sheepskin scroll underneath.
"The following is our first auction item, jewelry enchantment drawings, produced in the kobold mine, unidentified. Those who are interested in changing careers as enchanters must not miss it. Jewelry is generally classified as a treasure, and the system store does not have related
Drawings are for sale only through any
Drops from tasks and monsters. According to our calculation model, the probability of a specific monster dropping on a specific occasion will not exceed 1 in 10,000. For genuine rare items, the starting price is 1 million yuan, and each increase in price must not be less than 10,000 yuan.
, the bidding begins!”
Fan Chaoyue watched the barrage on his mobile phone. The bidding price of one million flooded the screen. Some questioned, some were amazed, and some were beating their chests to be qualified for a game... There could not be a better demonstration effect than now. Hearsay.
Thousands of times, I have never witnessed the heated atmosphere of the scene in such a real and direct way.
Soon, the bidding price soared to 2 million.
"2 million for the first time, 2 million, enchanted jewelry blueprints, not sold in the system store, can only be dropped in the Kobold Mine Dungeon, the probability of dropping is not more than one in ten thousand, are you ready to switch careers to jewelry and scroll making?
Master, this is a rare opportunity, don’t miss it!”
"Two million for the second time, the second time, no bid yet..."
Zhang Miao's face turned red, and his nervous palms became sweaty, even though the item he was bidding on was not his.
"2.1 million, table 18 bid 2.1 million, and 100,000 was added all of a sudden. Thanks to the guests at table 18, 2.1 million for the first time, 2.1 million for the second time, 2.1 million..."
"2.3 million, table 11 bid 2.3 million... 2.3 million for the first time... 2.3 million was sold. Congratulations to the guests at table 11, this [Elementary Jewelry Enchanting Drawing] is yours!"
In the corner, a player and his parents jumped up and hugged each other in celebration.
The barrage on Fan Chaoyue's mobile phone has become less frequent, replaced by exclamation points. From now on, there will be no doubt about Canaan's blessing myth.
