The players in the front row excitedly started to move forward.
"Here are the tickets and identification."
And the first person to check the ticket was Li Yu.
Yes.
Not only did Li Yu use his name as the number one player to get the ticket numbered NO.1, he was even the first in line...
In the end, he still didn't sell his tickets.
Although it seems that those who bought their own tickets paid a lot of money at the moment, and the premium was nearly three hundred times...
No matter how you think about it, it feels very profitable.
After all, it doesn't mean that he can't participate after he sells the ticket. He can buy another ticket.
but.
For some reason, he always had a hunch that the value of this ticket might be much more than this in the future.
Although this hunch was not supported by actual evidence, he finally suppressed his excitement and suppressed the idea of selling.
And he has no regrets now.
As for why they are always the first in line.
This can be regarded as his small persistence.
He always feels that he has the first ticket, so if he is not the first to enter, there is no way he can justify it.
So he came here early to queue up...
"Hello, you can come in."
The staff checking tickets at the door spoke out.
Awakened Li Yu, whose thoughts were slightly drifting away.
He suddenly came back to his senses, then whispered thank you, walked in quickly, then stopped and looked around.
Because he is the first.
Therefore, apart from the staff, there are no players at the venue.
The entire venue is basically divided according to the divisions of previous e-sports festivals.
As soon as you enter, you will see the main stage.
It is a huge venue that can theoretically accommodate around 35,000 people.
In the past, the finals of the E-Sports Festival were held here every year.
Going further inside, there are three other sub-stages in the partition. In the past, they were used by the e-sports festival to hold regional competitions, but now they are based on the carnival schedule.
These will serve as the stage for the symposium.
Linmu Studio's product department executives will appear one after another in the following days, take the stage, and then look forward to the future of the game with players, while conducting QA Q&A sessions.
Generally speaking, the venue follows the stage of the e-sports festival.
After all, last year's E-Sports Festival ended just a few months ago, so it was just ready for use.
This may be one of the reasons why Linmu Studio was able to prepare for this carnival so quickly.
but.
Although the venue is still used, the layout of Linmu Studio is not at all perfunctory to the players.
Not to mention the various on-site arrangements to adjust the atmosphere.
There are many small screens installed above the entire main stage. The upper part is displaying the game logo of Linmu Studio, including all their games, and the other part is showing some hand-painted games.
The quality of hand-drawn drawings varies.
There are good and bad.
Because the characters painted are different.
The people who paint are also different.
Some are players.
But most of them are the employees of Linmu Studio.
There are PC departments, host departments, operations departments, and even testing departments.
Li Yu looked at all kinds of strange hand-drawn drawings and smiled softly.
Although the quality is uneven.
But it can be seen that the authors of these hand-drawn drawings have put a lot of thought into it. The following messages are also written with sincerity. Some are for players, some are for Linmu Studio Carnival, and some are for unknown reasons.
It's not about seeking personal gain and writing "Boss is so cute" on it...
Just looking at these fun hand-painted paintings, Li Yu can imagine the working atmosphere of Lin Mu Studio.
Li Yu stood there and watched for a while.
It wasn't until the players came in one after another and the staff reminded him that he needed to go to the main stage to find his seat that he moved and went to the row of chairs closest to the stage.
After other players came in, they were similar to him.
While looking at the stage layout and looking up at the screen above his head, he followed the staff's advice and headed to his location.
There was excitement and excitement on his face.
the other side.
Li Yu has arrived at the first row of the main stage, in the middle.
This was the first time he sat so far forward.
The entire stage is in full view.
This is also the reason why he is unwilling to sell tickets.
This location is great!!
And not long after he sat down.
soon.
As the time goes.
More and more players entered the venue, and some players sat next to Li Yu who was looking around.
Two foreigners and one Chinese who looked about the same age as him.
"Pete, it feels like participating in an e-sports festival."
Two foreigners, one of whom was tall and thin, checked the Arabic numerals on the seat, then sat down next to Li Yu, and at the same time started talking to the friend next to him.
On the other side, a young man who looked like Roshan was holding a large glass of happy water bought from McDonald's. He glanced at the stage and replied: "Indeed, I just don't know if there is any e-sports festival with such a good atmosphere. Speaking of the stage,
What’s with the bass drums and tubas on the ceiling? Symphony orchestra? I’m not here to see a performance at the Metropolitan Opera House…”
"Who knows, this is not our purpose anyway. Let me see, the "Call of Duty" sequel meeting will be held on the third day. This is our purpose... But since I bought the tickets, let's come and see it.
,What if there is a surprise?"
"Okay, what you said makes sense...but I still have the same question, what's going on with the musical instruments on the stage? This always gives people an ominous feeling."
"how could I know!"
"..."
Li Yu had good foreign language skills and barely understood what the other party said and smiled.
He actually also noticed the arrangement on the stage that looked like a symphony orchestra.
This thing is very rare in game-related exhibitions.
He remembered that a few years ago, during the first "Breakout" Challenge, Linmu Studio arranged guzheng and other gadgets on the stage to give the players a Chinese-style opening ceremony.
But it was the finals.
When I started using something like this from the beginning, I did feel that it didn’t match.
After all, games have never felt suitable for classical symphony.
but.
Li Yu didn't have the same worries as the other party.
After so many years of baptism and the preparation of the ‘Easter Egg Adventure’, he was not worried at all that Linmu Studio would miss the key opening ceremony.
Even if there is a symphony on it that doesn’t really fit in with the game.
Just like the Chinese player on the other side of him...
"Holy shit! Symphony!? Is Linmu Studio going to do some renovations again!?"
Yes.
This is probably the first thought of domestic players when they see this scene.
Li Yu turned his head.
After the player sighed, he happened to notice his gaze and turned to look at Li Yu. After hesitating for a moment, he asked: "Brother, your position is No. 1, which is a bit good... you can't be the 'fishy' one."
Bar?"
"Hello, my name is Li Yu."
Li Yu smiled at him.
"Fuck! Emperor Ou! That's not right, Great God!"
When the player heard Li Yu's admission, he immediately became excited.
"No, I'm lucky too." Li Yu shook his head.
"No one is lucky enough to find the last easter egg."
The player shook his head, and then said: "The most you can do is grab a good position, and you have to fight with a bunch of animals... By the way, I forgot to introduce you, my name is Yi Wenwen."
Yi Wenwen didn't expect that the top player of the 'Easter Egg Adventure' would be sitting next to him, but he was only surprised for a while.
After looking at Li Yu with a little curiosity, he turned his gaze to the stage and said expectantly: "But the 'Easter Egg Adventure' is over. I don't know how many surprises Linmu Studio will bring us this time!
"
"I don't know either, just look forward to it."
Li Yu replied, and then looked towards the main stage with the same look of expectation.
the other side.
"It seems they are looking forward to it..."
The tall and thin foreigner named Peter next to Li Yu glanced at the expressions of the two domestic players and said: "So the opening ceremony shouldn't be too disappointing, Marvin. In fact, it's not bad after thinking about it.
After all, this is the company that makes "Call of Duty" and can defeat Gibb and Dreamland."
"Well, you're right, so... why do you want to put a bass drum and a tuba at the game carnival?"
Marvin took a sip of coke, nodded slightly, and then asked.
"I don't know! And why are you bothering with this?"
"I feel like I can't get high, so...why do you have a bass drum and a tuba?"
"FUCK..."
…
As the time goes.
More and more players are entering the venue.
Under the main stage, the empty seats were filled one by one.
The originally quiet venue became bustling with people.
Because all the players are here.
Many players sat down and observed the venue and the stage.
Like Marvin, they were also surprised by the presence of symphony instruments on the main stage.
It's really... a mismatch.
If there was a rock band up there.
Players don't find it strange at all.
But the symphony does have its shortcomings.
However, the vast majority of domestic players still have expectations.
soon.
Everyone has arrived.
It's almost half past eight.
The red curtain on the stage suddenly fell.
The main stage was covered.
At the same time, the lights in other parts of the stage were dimmed and the small screens hanging above the players were turned off.
This attracted the attention of all players to the only stage with bright light.
"Is it coming?"
When Li Yu saw this signal, he immediately sat upright and looked towards the stage.
Next to him, Yi Wenwen was in a similar situation, looking intently towards the direction of the stage.
Just ten minutes passed quickly.
Eight thirty.
The stage curtain slowly opened.
The mechanical arm hanging above the players also aimed the camera at the stage.
On an originally empty stage.
A whole symphony orchestra appeared in the center of the stage.
A conductor turned his back to the players and picked up the baton.
The other band members wore sound-isolating headphones and were also ready. They picked up their instruments and looked at the sheet music.
The entire venue became silent at this moment.
"Hou Li Crab, is it really a symphony?"
Front row.
Marvin spit out the happy water straw in his mouth, and was slightly stunned when he saw this scene.
And this time.
The conductor raised his baton and waved it.
The first tone sounded.
Bang...
Then.
The performance began.
But it's not the classical and melodious symphony that the player or Marvin imagined... but a tight-paced, very catchy piece of music.
The moment the melody sounded.
Almost all the players present reacted.
This is...the main theme of "Detective Sherlock Holmes"!
That song often appears with the Tower of London. It’s a super nice BGM!
And at this time.
The picture on the big screen behind the symphony orchestra also confirmed the player's suspicion.
The CG of "Detective Sherlock Holmes" appeared.
Scenes of Holmes and Watson tracking down criminals in the game flashed by quickly.
And the first wave of cheers from the players.
Coming soon.
As the music gradually reaches its climax.
At the entrance gate.
An elegant gentleman walked out with a pipe in his mouth. He came to the center of the stage, faced all the audience, gently pressed the brim of his hat, and made a hat salute.
The one from COS is none other than Sherlock Holmes!
"Wuhu~"
At the venue, Holmes was seen playing the main theme of the game with the symphony orchestra and saluting everyone.
The players immediately burst into loud cheers.
But some people haven't reacted yet.
For example, Marvin in the front row.
He held the happy water in his hand, still stunned: "Is it just for such a game? That's too..."
He hasn't finished speaking yet.
The main theme of "Detective Sherlock Holmes" has come to the end.
The symphony orchestra, at this moment, suddenly changed its tune!
Seamless connection!
Play the main melody of "Detective Dee" directly.
And then the same.
As the main melody of "Detective Dee" sounded, an actor who cosplayed as Dee Renjie walked up and looked at the audience without being angry or intimidating.
"OHHH!!"
After the players were briefly confused, they immediately reacted and burst into even stronger cheers!!
This is so!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! It’s actually a skewer!!
Front row.
Marvin was stunned on the spot.
Peter, who was next to him, also froze on the spot. After a while, he murmured: "Look, that's why they put in the bass drum and tuba."
"This is how it works..."
But Marvin still hadn't finished what he said.
Because the main melody of "Detective Dee" finished playing.
on the stage.
The symphony orchestra performs another variation.
A new melody sounded...
The moment Marvin heard it, his DNA moved!
Because what is being performed is the main theme of "Call of Duty"!
And as the main melody sounded.
A picture of Price leading the team to perform tasks appeared on the big screen behind the symphony orchestra.
A COS Captain Price, a heavily armed man wearing a bonny hat and a cigar in his mouth, walked onto the stage.
He came to the center of the stage, looked at all the players as if he were looking at the new recruits, and then turned around and left.
"OHHH!!!!!"
The cheers of the players became even louder!
Li Yu was even shocked.
Because just now, the two overseas players next to them who were worried about whether they could get high suddenly stood up from their chairs and jumped on the spot.
Marvin almost spilled all the coke on him.
I was so excited that I couldn't help myself.
certainly.
In the end, Li Yu just glanced at them. Soon, his attention returned to the stage and continued to cheer!
Because this feeling is really amazing for players.
The originally unrelated symphony orchestra played the main theme of the game, and various familiar characters appeared one by one during the performance.
this moment.
Games, classics and COS catwalks are a perfect combination!
This is a completely new experience that you can’t experience anywhere else!
If the players don’t cheer, there will be ghosts!!!
The atmosphere is up!
And next.
It's like going back in time...
Let’s start with the latest release of “Detective Sherlock Holmes”.
All the way back.
All the games released by Linmu Studio and all the main themes are connected into one song and played together!
Along with this, representatives of each game appeared.
After Call of Duty, comes Civilization!
After "Civilization", it's "Kirby"! It's "Dark Souls"!
Marvin and Pete next to Li Yu.
Unexpectedly, I got to know quite a few game characters.
After Price's appearance in "Call of Duty", they started crying and howling after almost every character appeared.
And this kind of emotion, after the appearance of the Lich King in "Warcraft".
A climax came.
Look at the Lich King who is fully armed and carrying a 1:1 Frostmourne.
Li Yu cheered as loudly as he could, feeling like his voice was hoarse.
And behind.
The cheers from the players were a little smaller, although they were still loud.
But I seem to be used to the mode that combines symphony with games and COS.
Until, the main theme of "Breakout" sounded!
The huge base of "Breakout" players contributed a big wave of cheers.
But when it came to the next game, the last game "Fantasy OL", it returned to the previous level.
but.
It's still pretty big.
On stage.
COSER Xie Jun heard the deafening cheers of the players and took several deep breaths at the entrance. Then after the main melody sounded, he walked out, calmly faced the audience, finished his posture, and walked off the stage.
And as soon as he walked off the stage.
His feet are weak...
The colleague next to him had quick eyesight and quick hands and quickly helped him.
"How's it going? Are you okay?"
"Fuck! I'm fine, but this is too outrageous!!!"
Xie Jun waved his hand.
Some of the COSERs appearing this time are from a large COS group, and some are actors.
Xie Jun doesn’t know the actor’s situation, but he has never participated in a COS show with such enthusiastic audience!
The young ladies standing outside the venue were not that exaggerated!
He is not playing a young lady, but a grown man!
In fact, it was his turn. Fortunately, he could clearly hear the cheers of the characters in front of him. It was really shocking.
As he said himself, it’s too outrageous!
"normal."
Seeing that he was okay, the colleague next to him let go of his arm, then shook his head, and looked at the stage with other cosers through the cosplayers: "You also play games, you must know that this is Linmu Studio! And they...
The symphony skewers are really creative! It’s awesome! Before the carnival started, I had a premonition that today’s effect would be great!”
"Yes." Xie Jun finally came to his senses, turned around, and looked at the stage through the exit door. Although he was not a professional actor, he still had stage experience. He would be fine after he came down.
"It's just a pity." The colleague next to him suddenly sighed.
"What's the pity?" Xie Jun was a little surprised.
"The cheers in the back were not so enthusiastic. After the initial freshness and excitement passed, and the games later were older, it was a bit disappointing..."
"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!"
Xie Jun hasn't finished speaking yet.
A burst of cheers that seemed to tear the roof off.
It rang!
It is bigger and more exaggerated than any COSER appearance before!
It seemed like more than 30,000 people were cheering together!
Xie Jun and his colleagues immediately stopped talking and looked at the stage with confused expressions.
Damn it!!
Is there anything more exciting!?
…
Time moves forward a little.
The main theme of the last game "Fantasy OL" has come to an end, and the actor of the COS human character has come to an end.
The last wave of cheers also stopped.
After Li Yu gave the last cheer, he was sweating, his voice was hoarse, and he finally let his butt fall on the chair.
“That’s awesome!!”
Next to him, Yi Wenwen also stopped.
With a flush of excitement remaining on his face, he suddenly turned his head and said excitedly.
"really."
Li Yu nodded, with a pure happy smile on his face.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! They all thought it was over.
Actually it's not just them.
Other players at the venue also thought it was over. After all, the last game "Fantasy OL" had been played.
And in fact.
The symphony orchestra in the center of the stage also stopped playing at this time.
The musicians also breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the enthusiastic audience, and then smiled softly.
They also had the same idea as Xie Jun.
The enthusiasm of the players... is too outrageous.
Although they all wore sound-isolating headphones so that the performance would not be affected, they could still see it with their eyes.
but.
They stopped, but the music didn't stop...
Thump thump, thump thump.
The main theme of "Fantasy OL" just stopped.
The familiar eight-bit machine music with a simple melody started playing.
And behind the symphony orchestra.
The "Easter Egg Adventure" game screen that just ended not long ago appeared on the screen. The maid who had been guarding the door of the castle, just like in the promotional video, said she wanted to take the player to a new place, and then walked out of the castle.
She walked forward along the pixel path.
And the camera followed her, all the way forward.
As she walked into the forest path, her figure was obscured.
The symphony orchestra was ready again, and then took over the performance the moment the eight-bit machine music with a simple melody stopped.
It’s the main theme of the symphony in the ‘Forest Carnival’ promotional video!
And as the melody sounded.
On the big screen behind the symphony orchestra, a mix of all the games just appeared.
All players looked towards the stage again.
Realized something.
Li Yu raised his neck.
Yi Wenwen next to him had the same reaction.
I wish I could stretch my neck two meters!
The last song slowly reached its climax.
Big screen behind the symphony orchestra.
The scene finally settled on the last scene of the promotional video for ‘Forest Carnival’.
Characters from all Linmu Studios' games are gathered together.
But only.
The ‘Forest Carnival’ is missing its waiter-maid.
And just after this scene appeared.
The next second.
Along with the main melody.
Wearing a white-based maid dress, a charming girl with long hair shawl walked onto the stage from the entrance door next to the stage...
She slowly came to the center of the stage.
Then stand still.
He stands right in the middle of all the game characters from Linmu Studio.
only.
The game characters are inside the screen, but the charming girl stands outside the screen.
It's as if it's within reach.
"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!"
After seeing the girl.
Almost instantly.
After a very brief period of confusion.
Almost all the players on the entire main stage gave louder cheers than any previous game.
The sound was so loud that it even overshadowed the main melody!
It’s like knocking off the roof of the venue!!
It turned out to be...Lin Yao!
It turned out to be Lin Yao in a maid outfit!
For the first time, players understand what carnival is!!
The cheers and waves never stopped for a long time.
The other staff at the exit gate were stunned on the spot.
And when the cheers of the players finally stopped, the main theme of the promotional video also played to the end.
The venue became eerily quiet for a moment.
And in this environment.
A charming smile appeared on the pretty oval face of the girl wearing a maid uniform on the stage. She held her skirt, bowed slightly, and then said with a smile like a flower: "Welcome to the first forest carnival!"
"OHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"
Her brief words.
It once again ignited all the players at the venue!
Without any delay, the shout rang out again.
Li Yu.
His voice was completely hoarse.
But he still tried to make the loudest noise possible.
And the blush on his face caused by excitement was visible to the naked eye!
Fortunately it wasn’t sold!
Fortunately no tickets were sold!!!
Not to mention anything else, just this live broadcast.
He can predict the reactions of other players!!
The first spectator of the carnival, the first ticket!
