Although Yi Wenwen was not sure whether the thing fell by himself.
But he still took what his father handed over.
Then, he looked down.
It was a slightly yellowed, intentionally aged ticket.
Yes, that's the ticket.
Because the word "ticket" is written on it.
However, the specific ticket is not mentioned above. Apart from the word "ticket", there are no other superfluous words.
Yi Wenwen turned it over and looked at the back of the ticket.
There are also no extra words, just a website address and a serial number.
"What is this?" Yi Wenwen raised his head, looked at his father subconsciously, and asked.
"How do I know? It fell from the book in your hand anyway."
Yi Jianjun shook his head, said something funny, and turned to leave.
After Yi Wenwen watched his father leave, he lowered his head again, thought for a while, casually stuffed the 'ticket' into the title page of the book, and continued reading the novel.
He doesn't have time to pay attention to this now.
What he is even more looking forward to is...what other interesting cases and chapters will there be in the novel next.
So soon, he forgot about the tickets.
Turning around to read the next story.
And after two short stories foreshadowing.
Finally, the second chapter of the novel came out.
soon.
Yi Wenwen was immersed in it.
at the same time.
In fact, many players are doing similar things.
There are very few players like Yi Wenwen who got the tickets and ignored them, just stuffed them into the book and continued reading the novel.
This situation.
It lasted a whole day.
On the same day, the technical department of Linmu Studio reported back.
Only two players logged into the website where the tickets were posted.
When Lin Yao heard the news, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
She also spent a lot of effort on the tickets...
but.
She figured it out quickly.
never mind.
Since the players don’t play their cards according to the routine, let’s pause the announcement of the ‘Carnival’ first… and start it later.
I just have some time to pack my things.
After other departments moved out one after another, it was finally Lin Yao and the product department’s turn to prepare to move to the headquarters.
that is.
Lin Yao didn't think about it at the time.
She thought of starting the 'Carnival' announcement later, but it ended up being so late...
Although on the day the novel was released, some players started discussing the novel.
But the basic topics revolve around the novel itself, not tickets.
From this aspect, we can see how popular this novel is among players... and how low the ticket price is.
""The Sherlock Holmes" is really amazing! I really like the story of "The Red-Headed Club"! The seemingly unrelated clues converge on a truth, and in the process it also shows the charisma of Sherlock Holmes! Really
marvelous!"
""The Case of Di Gong" is still the same as before. Although there are some differences between the characters and the game, the characters are distinct, the serial cases are interlocking, and the ending is beyond expectations! You can really always trust Lin Yao, even if it is a novel!"
"If players enjoy the process of following Sherlock Holmes to find evidence and reveal the answers in a suspenseful atmosphere, those short stories are really suitable! Highly recommended! Lin Yao is really unexpected.
And if you want an adventure and want to follow Sherlock Holmes on an adventure, I recommend reading "The Hound of the Baskervilles". It will definitely not disappoint. The horror atmosphere created is really too strong! It will make people crazy and make the hair stand on end.
!”
"It's awesome. There is an article in "The Case of Di Gong" that focuses on Di Renjie's youth. It has a sense of time and space flowing. To some extent, it also completes the relationship between him and Wu Zetian. It is so interesting to read."
"I knew that when Lin Mu worked in person, he would not be disappointed."
"Lin Yao! Keep writing! Just think of me as kneeling down to beg you! Wife!"
"Unexpectedly, this novel is really above and beyond expectations! I thought Linmu Studio was just playing tricks..."
"I never imagined that one day I would see a bunch of discussions about the novel in the gaming community... [Dog Head]."
"..."
Players’ passion for the novel.
Some are beyond imagination.
As the last comment said, I never expected that one day there would be a lot of discussions about novels in the gaming community.
The rising enthusiasm of players has brought some benefits as well as some negative effects.
The advantage, of course, is that because of the popularity of the game and the high enthusiasm of players, the novel has a tendency to break out of the circle.
At the same time, on the other hand.
Because both games are equally popular overseas, many overseas players have come to China to 'inquire' about the novels.
After seeing the reviews from domestic players, many overseas players also became excited.
I am full of expectations for the overseas novel version that has not yet been released.
And the real-life owner of 221 Baker Street.
After he saw the reprinted reviews from domestic players and saw that players in major overseas game communities expressed their expectation for the novel, he raised the price again...
Properties are now being sold for seven times above the market price!
That is, no one buys from him now... After all, the price is a bit too high, and he raises the price every time, like a hype!
As for the disadvantages this brings...
That's because of the players' enthusiasm for the novel, which directly attracted some attention to the tickets and curiously followed the instructions on the back of the tickets to enter the website, and was inundated with posts from players.
After all, the base of players who could have drawn tickets was not large.
Compared to those who have read the novel, there are even fewer players who are willing to discuss the novel.
This is also normal.
And this was the first time Lin Yao had carefully prepared the 'Carnival' linkage. The initial response was not good, it could even be said that there was no response at all.
Therefore, as soon as Lin Yao postponed the activities and announcements related to the 'Carnival', she postponed them for a few days...
until.
The overseas version of the novel is officially on sale.
Only then did things take a turn for the better.
After the initial frenzy of release.
As the novel is read, more players will buy the novel.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After the case has been discussed over and over again several times.
Players' enthusiasm for the novel has subsided a bit.
And some of the players who had drawn tickets were finally able to take the lead.
[What is this? Did you receive a ticket when you purchased the novel? There is a website address on the back of the ticket. After I entered, I was asked to look for Easter eggs... Then I searched for a long time and finally found an Easter egg, and then entered the address given by the Easter egg.
After the serial number, this came out... He asked me to follow orders, why?】
Today, there is such a baffling post.
Appeared on the largest gaming community in China.
As for this post, the title is not very attractive.
But the accompanying pictures reminded some old players of something.
The picture accompanying the post showed a man wearing heavy armor, his hair tied into a ponytail, and a scar on the bridge of his nose.
This image, at first glance, looks a bit like a vagabond.
But when many players see the name, they know that this is a character in "Warcraft".
The young prince Varian Wrynn in the DLC ‘Dark Tide’ of “Warcraft”!
Combined with what this character said, this is also confirmed - 'Soldiers of Stormwind City, listen to my orders!'
So very quickly.
Many players who have played "Warcraft" before have flooded into this post.
"What is this? Varian Wrynn grown up?"
"Probably, it's a shame. The little prince Varian Wrynn fled to Lordaeron because his father was killed. He met Arthas and became friends with him. But he may not have thought that Lordaeron was the same.
Outstanding people, Arthas will become the Lich King..."
"Yes. I raised him up, gave him childhood protection and warmth, and taught him how to become a wise king. Terenas died in piety..."
"But it seems that he has withstood the blow and has become an adult. Now he seems to be a qualified king!"
"So...what is this?"
"..."
Many players began to reminisce about the plot of "Warcraft" under this post.
But more players are asking, what is this?
The poster who posted the post was also very responsible and explained it to the players who asked.
It probably means that he bought a novel "Di Renjie" with a ticket inserted in the middle, and there is a website and a serial number on it. After entering the website and entering the serial number, there will be a web mini-game that he needs to find inside.
Easter egg, get another serial number, and finally enter it to get the picture of King Wa.
The original poster explained this.
All the players who purchased the novel were instantly shocked.
I immediately realized something was wrong!
Linmu Studio may need to reorganize again!
And it is very likely that it will be a big job!
So many players immediately picked up the novel in their hands and started turning the pages crazily.
I wanted to find the ‘ticket’ that the poster mentioned, but most of the players couldn’t find it.
On the contrary, it reminded a small number of players that there is such a thing...
For example, Yi Wenwen.
this day.
He opened the forum and was about to see what the players were discussing, and then he happened to see this post.
He suddenly remembered the ticket sandwiched on the title page of his novel.
He immediately became excited.
He jumped like a rabbit, then ran to his room, took out the novel he had read, and took out the ticket on the title page.
"Is this another job?"
With this idea in mind, Yi Wenwen sat down in front of the computer with great interest, began to enter the website marked on the ticket, and entered the web page.
Then enter the serial number.
Page jump.
Deng Deng stared...
Music with a strong flavor from the eight-bit computer era sounded...
At the same time, a simple web game appeared on the screen.
【Easter Egg Adventure!】
The title is this.
As for the initial page, apart from the title and a pixel-style villain, there is only one option.
Start the game.
Out of curiosity, Yi Wenwen clicked to start the game.
Deng Deng~
Along with the nostalgic music, he gained control of the pixel villain.
The game also starts in a pixel-style castle.
First, he needs to talk to an NPC whose outline looks like a maid.
"I heard there are a lot of interesting things hidden here. If you can find them, interesting things will happen."
The NPC with an outline like a maid said these words accompanied by the sound effect of beeping.
Like a guide.
"oh?"
Yi Wenwen looked at the sentences that jumped out word by word, as if he had returned to the eight-bit computer era of his childhood. With a smile on his face, he controlled the pixel character to go around in a circle, and then talked to the maid.
The maid's words remained the same, 'I heard there are a lot of interesting things hidden here.'
"Something interesting?"
Yi Wenwen saw the maid's words again and couldn't help but look down at the tickets on the table.
But his hand forgot to let go of the button.
He kept pressing the interact button.
When he came back to his senses and looked at the maid who kept popping up the same dialogue, he was about to release the dialogue button.
"…………"
The maid's lines suddenly changed.
Drop, drop.
Two ellipses appear.
Then……
"(Sigh), don't you even want to go in and take a look? Forget it, repeating the dialogue can be considered an Easter egg, it should be... In short, please don't tell others, I am just a maid, not an automatic answering machine, and I don't belong to anyone.
Wife."
"G47XSA."
"You found the 'Easter egg', congratulations!!"
As she said these words.
The game ends directly and jumps back to the start page.
But Yi Wenwen was confused.
no.
I just forgot.
And why do you think this line has a meaning?
Yi Wenwen looked at the serial number that popped up, and a look of excitement slowly appeared on his face, as if he had discovered a great secret.
And at this time.
The game also started to remind him.
The serial number can be entered into the input box below.
Yi Wenwen checked the serial number that popped up after the game ended and entered it into the input box below the game.
Then.
The page jumps directly.
The style of the web page suddenly changed.
A new web page appears on the screen.
The main body of the web page is a dynamic short video.
But it’s not Varian Wrynn posted by a forum player.
Because the genders are different!
It was a camp-like place.
Next to the small table.
An iceberg beauty wearing a green shawl and glasses sat quietly at the table, holding a heavy book in her hand, looking down at it quietly.
Then.
It was as if he felt Yi Wenwen's gaze.
The woman suddenly raised her head, looked away from the book, and looked at the camera, the player in front of the screen.
The text jumped out.
【Can you take me hunting with you?】
[Or draw a sketch of the monster’s bite marks for me to see?]
"...???"
There is a question mark at the end of Yiwen's text.
its not right.
Who is this?
He was very sure that this was not a character in any of Linmu Studio’s existing games!
And what is hunting?
New game!?
Yi Wenwen began to click crazily on the webpage, trying to find out more.
But it seems that this is the only information available.
Let him click like crazy.
There was no response.
But, even so.
Yi Wenwen's feeling that he had discovered some shocking secret did not weaken at all...
He immediately took a screenshot of the web page, opened the forum, integrated his findings into a post, and posted it on the forum.
Then.
He didn't wait for the player to reply, and immediately returned to the "Easter Egg Adventure" game just now.
Restart the game.
But this time.
He did not harass the maid who explained, but went directly into the castle.
Then it was just like playing RPGs on eight-bit consoles when I was a kid. I touched here and there and clicked on everything that could be interacted with.
And I touched it down randomly.
Yi Wenwen was even more excited!
This game really deserves the name of "Easter Egg Adventure".
There are really everywhere...Easter eggs from Linmu Studio's games!
Everywhere!
Some may be triggered just by finding it.
For example, the pet in the castle is a yellow creature that looks like a mouse.
This is considered an Easter egg, an Easter egg from "Pokémon".
And some may require players to spend some effort.
For example, in the castle, at the entrance to the room on the far left, there is a woman holding a knife. Yi Wenwen talks to her.
She will ask, did you escape from the laboratory?
The layout of the room behind her is particularly similar to Lin Mu Studio’s first CG promotional video, the promotional video for "Breakout"...
After Yi Wenwen talks to her, he follows the protagonist's route in the "Breakout" promotional video and runs away to a place similar to a hall, which will trigger the "Breakout" easter egg!
Another example.
In a corner of the castle, there is a small crown. The crown will ask the player which princess image they like the most.
Then answer accordingly.
Will trigger Easter eggs in "The Legend of Zelda".
Or, the Easter eggs in "Mario".
In short.
Various little thoughts and designs.
The game graphics are crude and the gameplay is not strong.
But Yi Wenwen's interest is getting higher and higher!
Every time, after triggering the easter egg, the game will jump to the start page, and then give it a serial number, enter it into the input box, and jump to the corresponding display page.
Every time Yi Wenwen gets a serial number, he opens it with great anticipation.
Then after reading the screenshots, I returned to the game, entered the castle, and looked for new Easter eggs...
Never get tired of it.
And just when he was enjoying it, what he didn't know was that the external players were about to go berserk collectively...
…
If.
Varian Wrynn's easter eggs are just the beginning, just to interest players.
The ‘Maid Easter Egg’ that Yi Wenwen subsequently released was the fuse that triggered players’ emotions!
Not long after the post was posted.
Countless players rushed in.
"Fuck!! What is this?"
"Hahaha!!! This maid must be Lin Yao! Absolutely!! So what on earth is this!?"
"Linmu Studio has started to renovate again? So what exactly is this? How to participate?"
"what is this!"
"Come on and say something! Why don't the books I bought have tickets??"
"Ah ah ah! The host has spoken, otherwise it will be held!"
"..."
What's this!!!
This question has become the sentence with the most replies under the post.
But Yi Wenwen was busy collecting Easter eggs and did not reply.
This makes players more and more itchy.
What is this!
In the easter egg later, what does the iceberg beauty mean by hunting?
Why can't I participate?
After Yi Wenwen posted the maid easter egg post.
A bunch of related posts popped up.
Then.
Following these posts, more players excitedly posted about their discovery of Easter eggs.
What about "Breakout", "Warcraft", "Pokémon", "The Legend of Zelda" and even the latest "Detective Sherlock Holmes".
Various easter egg posts are eye-opening to players, but also make them more and more itchy.
And watching the heat ferment.
Linmu Studio finally took action. They began to announce the URL of the game "Easter Egg Adventure" on major game homepages, including the homepage of the Vaporwave game platform with the largest traffic.
And the URL they published.
There is no need to enter the serial number on the back of the ticket.
But all players can directly participate!
This is just great.
The players immediately stopped making noise, and they all started their easter egg adventure before they even had time to ask what it was.
And this day.
The discussion about the novel was immediately suppressed.
Various easter egg posts have become popular.
Countless players began to share the Easter eggs they found...
"The easter egg of "Breakout"! You need to follow the escape route of the protagonist in the CG and run once, and then it will come out!"
"An Easter egg from Detective Sherlock Holmes! In the fifth house from the right, you need to decipher a clue related to the Hound of the Baskervilles to get it!"
"Haha! This is so interesting! The princess's little crown will not only give Zelda Easter eggs, but also give different Easter eggs according to different choices. If they all choose the last option, they will also give Link's Easter eggs.
!!Hahaha, Link is also a princess. The Easter egg display page is still a scene of him dressing up as a woman, which made me laugh to death!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Warcraft related easter egg, just go to the kitchen to get ice cubes, and then interact with the throne, it will come out and say that your butt is cold when you sit down
[laughing]… So many flaws!”
"The Easter egg of "Call of Duty"! It's right next to the Easter egg of "Breakout"! There is a button next to the lady in the "Breakout" CG. You just need to get the armed helicopter model and press it, and it will be triggered! In that "Breakout" CG
The royal sister will also complain to players that helicopters are really dangerous..."
"So what is this! So fun!!!"
"...If you repeat the conversation with the maid at the beginning of the game, there will be an easter egg, but you may not know what the consequences will be if you keep getting the easter egg after you get it. The maid will simply not let me in! [Sad]"
"..."
And so many Easter egg posts.
finally.
It’s also the maid’s easter egg… the most topical one.
Because another player has discovered a new trigger method.
After repeating the conversation with the maid to get the easter egg, restart the game, continue the conversation, and then continue the conversation again!
In this way, keep talking ten times and get ten maid Easter eggs.
The maid will be completely impatient...
[I told you not to tell others, but you still told others. I am just a maid! Not an automatic answering machine!]
【So are you a fool?】
[I, Lin... No, my maid won’t let you in today! 】
【……】
Then.
Players will jump directly to the start page.
and.
The Start Game option will also disappear.
No more fun!
This is also an easter egg.
In the end, when the player enters this Easter egg, the Easter egg page they get will no longer be the iceberg beauty asking the player if he can take her hunting.
Instead it was a picture of an angry maid.
Let players come back to play again tomorrow...
In short.
Various easter eggs, various triggering methods!
The entire gaming circle, as long as players who have come into contact with Linmu Studio’s games, are all caught up in a collective carnival today...
And countless players, after the carnival, couldn't help but have such a question pop up in their minds.
Including colleagues from Lin Mu Studio, the same problem also cropped up.
That is……
"So, what the hell is going on this time!!?"
Sky Fox.
Li Guangsheng looked at the post about the carnival, then looked back at Mou Feng with a look of helplessness on his face.
