Until Lin Yao returned home, there were still players discussing the maid uniform...
The good news is that this means that the opening ceremony has indeed received the attention it deserves, and the atmosphere has been set in place.
But the bad news is.
So spot on...
It feels like the topic of the carnival has been taken astray.
Lin Yao complained all the way.
You guys are talking about the carnival!
Just discuss it with yourself for a little while!
But the actions of the players are obviously not based on her will...
Her complaints were useless, and the players became more and more enthusiastic. In the end, they even added fuel to the fire and pushed topics related to her directly to social media that had nothing to do with the gaming circle...
It also made it onto the popular list.
That’s outrageous…
But Lin Yao couldn't do anything about it.
In fact, she had expected it.
After all, she couldn't change out of the maid uniform until she got home...
Mu Wanqing, Zhu Nianqiao and Lin Xi took turns taking turns, but she was not allowed to change.
And seeing their reactions, she was barely self-aware...
"I hope the announcement of the new game tomorrow will reverse the situation a little bit."
Lin Yao sat on the sofa, paid attention to the discussion points of the players, and then stretched.
The new game announced tomorrow is Monster Hunter.
Even players who are not interested in regular updates or meet-and-greets for old games should be interested in this new game, right?
Lin Yao was slightly lost in thought as she thought about the problem.
But soon.
She was pulled back.
"Lin Xi, that's enough! I want to take a shower! Don't pull my clothes."
Lin Yao looked at Lin Xi who bent down slightly to adjust her maid uniform, and gave her a gentle glare.
"later."
Lin Xi stretched out her hand to help her adjust the white fabric covering her plump breasts, her eyes sparkling.
"How late is it! It's already been a day! You like to dress yourself so much!"
Lin Yao glared at her again, her jade feet wrapped in soft white silk fell on the floor, stood up from the sofa, and was about to take off her clothes.
Although it's not uncomfortable.
But she really doesn't like skirts.
They're all back home.
She would rather wear underwear than wear this thing again.
Anyway, there is only Lin Xi in the family, and he is not an outsider.
"Eh..." Lin Xi felt a little disappointed when she saw Lin Yao's actions.
"Meow……"
the other side.
When Maomao heard the sound, he jumped on the table again, turned his little head, and looked at the two sisters curiously.
At the same time, she also used her body to block the two people who wanted to take off her clothes and the other who refused to let her take off her clothes.
The cat's tail sweeps gently.
Then, a lively evening was spent.
…
the next day.
Early in the morning.
The forum that had been partying all night finally came to an end.
but.
As the time came to eight o'clock.
The live broadcast of the carnival will begin immediately the next day.
The forum soon became lively again.
But the players have calmed down.
Although photos of Lin Yao wearing a maid uniform are still posted everywhere, after a night's rest among the players, the focus of discussion has become what surprises Linmu Studio will bring to the players today.
Yesterday's symphony symphony, "Breakout" meeting, and later new version and new mode trial, all made the players very satisfied.
I was even looking forward to the next day.
As for those on-site players who were crazily discussing maid uniforms on the forum yesterday, they didn't care about the forum and ran outside Chunying Stadium early in the morning.
However, unlike the opening ceremony today, Linmu Studio does not force players to go to the venue.
They asked the COSER who participated in the COS catwalk show yesterday to appear in the square outside the stadium for tourists and spectators to take photos, while also diverting the audience.
Audiences can enjoy COS in the square, or they can play the characters in Linmu Studio's games themselves.
Of course, players can also enter the venue to try out the new version of "Breakout" announced yesterday, or wait for the meeting to begin.
In short, if you don't break the law or violate morals, you can do whatever you want.
Then, at ten o'clock, there will be a much-anticipated "Breakout" carnival exhibition match on the main stage. The participating teams are the most prestigious domestic teams NO.1 and Feiren.
However, the competition mode is not the blasting mode commonly used in competitions.
Instead, it is the ‘biochemical gun grabbing’ mode that is opened every year.
Yes.
After NO.1 experienced the departure of its old players, it has re-emerged after two years. Captain Chen Xi led the former new players and current old teammates to return to the finals of the "Breakout" challenge last year.
Then he fell in love with Feiren, who has not changed yet and all the members have graduated from college.
Now, no matter whether it is the competition held by Linmu Studio or other larger tournaments, their two teams are almost indispensable.
Players are also happy to see these two teams that have been in love with each other since the first "Breakout" Challenge competing on the same stage again.
What's more, professional players play the entertainment mode that ordinary players like most.
No matter how you think about it, it would be fun...
After the "Breakout" exhibition game, it's the console project. The first half is mainly about announcing the carnival activities and new linkage maps of "Mario Kart" and "Splatoon", and then it will be opened for trial play one after another.
The final highlight is the meeting for the new game "Monster Hunter".
It can be said that players are clearly arranged throughout the day.
"Damn, there are so many people..."
Inside the venue.
Lu Tai and several teammates couldn't bear the loneliness and ran from the backstage to the scene.
Then, Lu Tai was shocked when he saw the crowds of people in various exhibition areas.
"It's normal. Linmu Studio Carnival, you think it's a joke."
His teammate Qi Xiao smiled and replied.
"By the way, can we come out to play?" Lu Tai was a little worried when he saw so many people.
"I just asked the staff of Linmu Studio, and they said yes, but I hope we won't cause too much commotion, or bring people together to cause safety problems. If there is momentum, we will go back."
Qi Xiao shrugged: "But this shouldn't be a big problem. We are just e-sports players, not celebrities."
"Too……"
"Damn it, are you Lu Tai!?"
Lu Tai nodded, but his words just fell.
Several players who were wandering around noticed him and ran over at a sprint speed of 100 meters.
Then more and more people noticed them.
After all, e-sports star players are also stars.
"I am, but I am a player now. Give me some face and don't surround us. If there are too many people, we will be driven back..." Lu Tai was stunned for a moment, then looked at more and more players and quickly explained loudly.
road.
When the players surrounding them heard his words, they seemed speechless, so they smiled and left.
The players who could speak loudly shouted: "Then come and fight with me! Let's have a sniper fight! Let's go! I think I'm better than you! I want to join FEIREN!"
"Okay!"
When Lu Tai heard this, he immediately laughed and said: "After I finish killing Chen Xi, I will come here to line up, and then I will take care of you!"
"we have a deal!"
The booing players started shouting.
On the other side, the players who supported FIERN roared: "Kill NO.1, kill Chen Xi!"
Lu Tai also let go of his arrogance and cheered with the players, shouting the number one kill...
And their atmosphere, which was like a cult scene, quickly attracted the staff.
With the persuasion of the staff and the platform, the players surrounding them left and went to line up to experience the new version.
Lu Tai looked at the players leaving and grinned happily.
But the next second.
"Kill FEIREN with explosive force! Kill Lutai with explosive force!"
There was also a roar from the side.
Lu Tai glanced aside.
NO.1 captain Chen Xi also enjoys the same treatment as him.
Then, while advising the players to leave, they also started shouting.
I don’t know if it’s Lu Tai’s illusion.
He always feels that.
The player who shouted "FEIREN" is the same player who just called "NO.1"...
He's really a little pioneer.
the other side.
Chen Xi also noticed Lu Tai's gaze.
The two of them looked at each other, glaring at each other.
Then they looked away together.
“What a great atmosphere.”
Lu Tai withdrew his gaze, then looked around, looking at the bustling players, a smile appeared on his face.
All the players came here with the purpose of having fun and communicating with their fellow players, and everyone’s faces were filled with smiles...
The atmosphere is really great.
"Yeah..." Qi Xiao nodded and looked around with some emotion.
Although he is a professional player, it does not mean that he has not played other games under Linmu Studio.
In fact.
During the break, several of their team members played other games from Linmu Studio.
After all...the games they make are really fun.
Therefore, they are also looking forward to this carnival.
This is why they agreed to participate in the exhibition match without hesitation.
Because they also wanted to see what kind of carnival Linmu Studio would hold.
In fact, they came to the scene yesterday through staff channels.
Even yesterday, as a representative of e-sports players at the "Breakout" meeting, I talked with the person in charge of the "Breakout" project team about the improvement direction of future versions of the game.
Of course, the starting point of their e-sports players is different from that of the players. After he made his suggestions, some players questioned the direction of improvement he proposed as an e-sports player.
For example, the problem of big sniper damage.
At that time, players, e-sports players, and the project team discussed it together.
Even at the scene, the staff of the project team played the game, showed off their skills in front of all the players, and tried the damage themselves...
Although the rights to change and modify the game still belong to Linmu Studio.
But game companies are willing to meet players face to face.
It feels really good to have e-sports players, gamers, and project teams discussing things together.
Moreover, it can be seen that the staff of the "Breakout" project team also like the game very much, and even understand the game better than the players...
It's really much better than those project teams who are overwhelmed by KPIs and can only work hard to make money.
But just now, the players didn't care about the suggestion he made yesterday. They turned around and told him to kill No. 1...
You said he didn't like this kind of atmosphere, that's a lie...
Perhaps only events held by Linmu Studio can have such an atmosphere...
"I asked, and the staff said that we can also queue up to experience the new version and play against players, but we can't make it now. Let's finish the exhibition match."
At this time.
Lu Tai walked back from the staff maintaining order at the scene and woke up Qi Xiao who was in a daze.
"Do you really want to kill the players?" Qi Xiao glanced at him sideways.
Lu Tai said confidently: "That's necessary. It's time for them to see the difference between e-sports players and ordinary players!"
"Fine."
Qi Xiao did not continue to stop it. Linmu Studio felt that the problem was not big, so it was okay to have fun with the players. Anyway, the atmosphere was good: "Walking around and going to the backstage to prepare."
"Okay, let's go."
The two left the place arm in arm.
And at the same time.
The new version experience area of "Breakout" is not far from them.
Li Yuyi stood up without finishing. After experiencing the new mode of "Breakout" for a while, he gave up his seat to others, then looked at the time and headed to the venue where the exhibition match was about to be held.
Although the game hasn't started yet.
But machines have been set up at the venue, and many players have already taken their seats to rest.
The biggest difference between this venue and previous competition venues is that there is no soundproof glass.
After all, it is an exhibition match that makes everyone happy.
Lin Yao also relaxed the restrictions.
E-sports players really want to transform into Roaring Gods, but that’s not impossible...
Li Yu came to the venue, found his seat, and then communicated with the players next to him without any barriers, discussing what it would be like for professional players to play in entertainment mode.
Chatted for twenty minutes.
The exhibition match has officially begun.
The host who had appeared in the first Breakout Challenge ran up and shouted with a familiar and enthusiastic voice.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The audience in the audience also responded to him with enthusiastic voices.
The host on the stage smiled sincerely when he heard the roaring cheers, and then without further ado, let the contestants take the stage according to the procedure.
NO.1 and FEIREN appear separately.
After taking their seats, the captains of the two teams made provocative moves towards the opposite side.
One gave a thumbs up, and the other made a throat-cutting gesture.
This once again pushed the atmosphere of the scene to a peak!
This was discussed before the two captains came on stage.
It's a carnival, it's an exhibition game.
Then let the players get excited!
Obviously, they made provocative moves that are difficult to see in serious games, and the effect was very effective.
The players just cried like ghosts and howled like wolves.
When the game started, the players' enthusiasm became even higher.
‘Gun Capture Mode’ is a limited-time mode opened by Linmu Studio during the Spring Festival at the end of every year.
Players are already familiar with it.
This is a very interesting gameplay, improved on the basis of biochemical mode.
The rules are also simple, that is, the zombie's first attack will not infect the mercenary, but will seize the gun from the mercenary and use it himself.
It's just that the recoil is a bit stronger...
This limited-time mode, which will only be opened at the end of the year, was also opened during the carnival. Many players played it for a long time yesterday, and the next day they saw professional players competing in this far from fair mode.
Of course the enthusiasm is high.
And the facts prove it.
A professional player, indeed a professional player!
Even in entertainment mode.
They can also fight very professionally. The one who plays the role of a mercenary is just like a real mercenary, and they cooperate seamlessly. The one who plays the role of a zombie seems to have suddenly got a brain, and is very skilled in using feints and sneak attacks.
A very interesting entertainment mode that gives them a competitive nature.
And what’s even more outrageous is.
FEIREN, who plays a zombie, can still hold it down after grabbing the gun!
Even the recoil of the gun almost jumped in my hand.
They can also take advantage of the zombies' thick blood and fight back and forth with the mercenaries with guns...
The camps behind are swapped.
The same goes for NO.1.
While the players' eyes were wide open, the cheers became louder and louder.
The players of the two teams on the stage seemed to be infected by the audience. As long as they had a slight advantage, they would shout to the opposite side.
Have you not eaten?
Anyway, as long as there is a little advantage, we will start to export with the wind.
This turned the entire venue directly into a sea of joy.
The players shouted with the supporting players whether they had eaten, and then when the other side had the advantage, they booed and competed with each other to see who was louder...
So happy!
Finally the game is over.
As NO.1 and Feiren's teammates announced that they would also line up in the exhibition area to experience the new version and accept the challenge from players.
The atmosphere reached a climax.
Li Yu sat at the bottom, looked at the professional players who accepted the player's challenge, put his palms to his mouth, and cheered loudly.
Then he put down his hands and smiled brightly.
Really...so happy!!!
And this is just the beginning of the carnival!
There will be a meet-and-greet next! And a new work will be announced!
Today is over! There is still tomorrow!
This is really awesome!!!
…
afternoon.
In twos and threes, the audience who had had lunch returned to the venue.
as I thought.
Because of the professional players, there was a long queue in the trial area of the new version of "Breakout".
The newly opened "Mario Kart" and "Splatoon" trial areas have also begun to queue up.
However, not all players will be the first to try out the new version and new map. More players will still go to the branch venue to watch the meet-and-greet.
And Linmu Studio doesn’t force them to do anything.
You can go to trial games, you can go outside to take COS photos, and of course you can also go to meet-and-greets.
In short, players can do whatever they want, pay attention to safety, and be happy.
Linmu Studio did not want to build momentum for the new version, so it forced players to attend the meeting.
At the same time, because there is no force, players can always find projects that can make them happy...
but.
When it comes to major axis projects, there is no disagreement among players.
Those who were trying out the games, watching the young ladies, and communicating with fellow enthusiasts all went to the venue in unison.
After all, new versions of old games that have been released can be experienced through trial play, but for new games, not much information can be obtained through trial play.
What's more, the trial of the new game is not yet open.
It will be officially opened after the meeting.
So half an hour before the "Monster Hunter" meeting.
Almost all players flocked to the main stage where the opening ceremony was held yesterday.
Then I sat down and waited patiently for the new game meeting.
"I'm home?"
Li Yu sat in his seat, glanced at Yi Wenwen beside him, and said hello.
I didn't see him in the morning exhibition match.
"Well, I tried the new map of "Mario Kart". The art style and music are as excellent as ever. It's so cool!"
Yi Wenwen smiled and nodded: "Originally, I wanted to try the festival battle of "Splatoon", but when I saw that the new game meeting was about to start, I ran over to take a look... I'm so looking forward to it, I didn't know this
What kind of game is Monster Hunter?"
"yes."
Li Yu also looked at the stage longingly.
Next to him, two overseas spectators, Marvin and Pete, seemed to have integrated into the carnival after a day yesterday and half a day today. They looked at the stage with the same expectation on their faces.
And Linmu Studio didn’t keep players waiting long.
soon.
A young and beautiful woman wearing a T-shirt and jeans came out.
"Hello everyone, I am Zhu Nianqiao from the host product department of Linmu Studio."
Zhu Nianqiao said hello energetically.
And she just finished speaking.
The audience who knew her and those who didn't knew her all cheered.
There are also a few shouts of "I want to work in Linmu Studio" mixed in.
Zhu Nianqiao smiled softly.
She is considered experienced.
Wait patiently for the cheering to stop.
Then, she faced the expectant eyes of the audience and said: "This year! As in previous years, our Linmu Studio has also brought you many excellent games, including an exclusive game that is about to be launched on Switch..."Monster"
hunter"."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! As her words fell.
On the big screen behind her, the title "Monster Hunter" appeared.
The players in the audience, although they didn't know what kind of game this was, immediately started cheering.
And as they cheered.
The lights suddenly dimmed.
Zhu Nianqiao also walked aside.
Hardly any nonsense!
The promotional video has started!
And in the spotlight of all players.
The main theme of Monster Hunter, the music that once appeared in the Olympic Games - "Proof of Heroes", sounded!
With extremely strong momentum and shocking power, the prelude alone made all the players present feel excited!
On the screen, real-life footage of "Monster Hunter XX" and "Monster Hunter Rise" appeared one by one.
Plains, abyss, desert, bamboo forest...
The camera quickly passes through maps with completely different landscapes, and finally freezes at the feet of a person.
At the figure's feet, a hound suddenly emerged from the ground.
The figure patted the head of the hound beside him, then said "very good", turned around and mounted the large hound.
The camera zoomed out, and next to the hound, the standing cat jumped.
Then the character rides a hound and rushes forward.
【Linmu Studio】
Next scene.
The huge name of the production company appeared in the center of the screen!
Then it gradually became more exciting with the music.
The camera shows the character who just rode a hound.
He rode a hound and a cat, running forward, and then on complex terrain, relying on something like a hook to climb up and down various environments!
Whether it's a mountain or a cliff.
Whether it's swamp or plain.
Then, the scene suddenly changed.
In a crowded gathering place, an old man with a beard, wearing ancient armor and carrying two swords took out the note from the owl's feet.
He opened the note in his hand, and then read the contents of the note in a low voice.
[It is said that soon... the Night Parade of Hundred Dragons will take place.]
He just finished speaking.
A change of tune in the music.
It turned into some kind of string music.
The camera also showed the outdoors at night.
Outdoors with extremely low visibility.
Accompanied by heavy footsteps.
A reptile with red eyes and a ferocious face appeared in the center of the screen.
Its deep breathing sound, mixed with the background music, sounded in the venue.
Thanks to the very good on-site acoustics.
Almost all players held their breath.
The pressure is too strong.
In the next scene, purple fire lit up in the bamboo forest.
Immediately after a heavy drumbeat, behemoths with different shapes and strong fantasy colors appeared one by one.
【Umbrella Bird】
A monster with a huge body, sharp claws, and an opening and closing umbrella crown on its head turned to look at the camera.
Actual battle scenes also appeared.
Its attack modes are very diverse.
For example, it shakes its umbrella-shaped head and spits out flames.
Or lean over to accumulate strength, raise your rear wings high, and then sweep across a wide range, turning your body directly 180 degrees!
The pressure can be clearly felt even through the screen.
And this isn't over yet.
The scene where the umbrella bird appears is very brief.
soon.
It's the next monster.
【Kappa Frog】
【Scythe Weasel Dragon King】
Two other monsters with different shapes and living areas appear in the shot.
And this game doesn't seem to be like "Detective Dee". Every time a battle screen appears, the human side is holding a different weapon.
And the second half of the promotional video.
"The tragedy that happened in the village fifty years ago...The name of that monster is - the Resentful Tiger Dragon!"
A very impressive introduction sounded.
The camera pans back to the purple flames that have appeared.
A dragon-shaped creature with purple flames in its mouth and purple flames burning on its wings bit a prey, stared at the camera, and slowly retreated into the darkness.
Its name slowly emerged as well.
【Resentful Tiger Dragon】
In the next scene, different characters begin to attack this monster that feels so oppressive just by looking at it.
They travel through a map populated by different monsters.
or fight.
Or ride on a hound.
Or use flying insects to fly up to the sky and into the earth.
The actual battle scenes are completely different.
Various weapons appear one by one.
One-handed sword, double sword, big sword, tachi, spear...
The only thing they have in common is that they are handsome!
Especially heavy weapons, open and close! The knife penetrates the flesh!
And just when the background music of the promotional video reaches its climax.
The moment of prosperity turning to decline.
The monster's low roar sounded, and then the resentful tiger dragon with purple flames in its mouth landed on its forelimbs and roared towards the camera.
Purple flames dance in the air.
The sound waves blew up the clothes of the hunter standing in front of him.
"Bet on the hunter's glory!"
The hunter pulled out a sword that was almost as tall as a man from behind without any fear, and then swung it violently.
The camera moves forward.
The huge resentful tiger dragon jumped up, with purple flames flowing to both sides in its mouth, raised its thick forelimbs, and swung towards the camera.
The screen also turned dark at this moment.
The purple flame in the mouth of the resentful tiger dragon gradually formed the name of the game - "Monster Hunter".
The promotional video is over!
…
"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!"
under.
The audience saw the final scene where the resentment against the tiger and the dragon turned into the title.
Hardly any pause.
Strong cheers broke out instantly.
Front row.
Li Yu and Yi Wenwen half stood up. In order not to disturb others, the cheers they had suppressed during the promotional video burst out at this moment. They raised their hands in excitement and yelled "Awesome" at the top of their lungs.
So handsome!
So handsome!!
monster hunter!
A hunter who hunts fantasy creatures!
I see!
This is simply a genius idea.
Linmu Studio! It really never disappoints!
And other viewers are similar to them.
So handsome!
"This is Monster Hunter."
As the lights came back on, Zhu Nianqiao returned to the center of the stage and said with a smile: "This is one of the gifts we have prepared for the players this year..."
respond to her.
Still cheering warmly.
Of course, there are also a few words "when will it be released" mixed in.
After all, although the atmosphere of the carnival is very good, drawing cakes is also a routine operation on such occasions...
Some players are still a little worried.
Not much though.
And they didn't expect Zhu Nianqiao to hear or answer.
But Zhu Nianqiao heard it and answered.
She looked at the audience member who asked when the game would be released.
Showed a bright smile.
"Although there will be a question and answer session and a live demonstration session later, since you are so concerned, it doesn't matter if we announce it in advance."
Zhu Nianqiao raised his hand, turned slightly sideways, and made a "please take a look" gesture: ""Monster Hunter" will be released on May 15th! Fourteen days later! It will be officially released!"
As her words fell.
Below the title of "Monster Hunter" frozen in the center of the screen, the release date appeared.
See the release date emerge.
Offstage.
The audience seemed to have returned to the first day again, seeing Lin Yao appear on stage wearing a maid outfit!
No picture cake!
Not whet your appetite!
Simple and straightforward!
The game will be released in half a month!
Therefore, after watching the promotional video, the excited players saw the release date and expressed their joy directly by using their volume.
Front row.
Li Yu couldn't bear it anymore and stood up directly. Taking advantage of the front row, he vented his happiness by shouting!
He just has an idea now.
So sloppy!
When the "Easter Egg Adventure" announced him as the number one player, he thought it was his happiest day. It was careless!
