Chapter 644 That’s the guest! I’m the protagonist!
After Linmu Studio’s announcement was sent out.
The effect can be said to be immediate.
This time.
Linmu Studio did not disappoint again, it indeed made some moves.
But it wasn't the announcement everyone expected.
Instead, it’s a live broadcast preview…
As for the ‘Forest Carnival Manager’ in the trailer, players are not sure who it is for the time being.
They seemed to be too lazy to figure it out. The main point of discussion was still focused on the sentence "Guest surnamed Lin", and they had already begun to rejoice over it.
It's like having your own voice heard.
It is indeed worth being happy.
And because of this time point, this live broadcast has successfully become the most anticipated live broadcast in the gaming circle due to the confusing behavior of players in the entire gaming circle in the past two days.
none of them.
After the Forest Carnival ended, players’ confusing behaviors such as changing their names and refreshing their screens finally stopped.
They started discussing the live broadcast.
So far.
The whole matter seems to be settled.
Sky Fox.
Mou Feng looked at the updates posted on Linmu Studio's social account and smiled softly.
"Are you still going out to put out the fire?"
He was not surprised by this result.
It can only be said that it makes sense.
According to the situation of the past two days, it is indeed impossible to continue tossing like this.
And he himself wanted to see such a result.
but.
This also means that Lin Yao's efforts at the carnival have officially failed...
This can be regarded as a rare moment for Lin Yao to steal the chicken but lose the rice, right?
do not know why.
When Mou Feng thought about it, he found it quite funny.
I tried to eliminate my own influence but failed because I might have to expand my influence. I will probably go to the Forest Carnival next year to make an appearance...
Hahaha.
Mou Feng couldn't help laughing when he thought of this, and then looked at the screen again.
Now there is only one question left.
What the hell is this Lin Mu Studio manager...?
…
After the carnival is over.
The release dates of the first batch of games, "Hollow Knight" and "Dead Cells", are both set for June 17th.
Just over ten days, which is not short, but far from long.
Otherwise, Linmu Studio would not be able to set the release date of the new game on this day.
So very quickly.
This day has arrived...
The live broadcast at Linmu Studio will start on the evening of June 17th.
As for announcing...
In fact, there is no need for Linmu Studio to announce it itself.
As soon as the relevant news was announced, players were briefly stunned and then regarded the live broadcast as a full version of the carnival closing ceremony.
The game media is also very generous, knowing what players want to see, and does not spare any space to introduce it.
then.
Everyone knows about this live broadcast.
And as the live broadcast date approaches.
Players even started to build momentum on their own.
Then, the live broadcast website also thought that this live broadcast was very gimmick and would be very eye-catching, so it started promoting it five days ago...
In short, the final result is that Linmu Studio itself has not yet announced the release.
This live broadcast has attracted much attention.
In the true sense of the eye.
This even affects the new game released today by Linmu Studios.
Originally.
No matter what the new games announced at the Forest Carnival are, there will always be one that reaches the top of the sales list on the day of release.
But this time.
Neither "Hollow Knight" nor "Dead Cells" nor "Kitchen" reached the top of the sales list.
They can only be ranked behind the game "Breakout".
Because the big version of "Breakout" was also updated yesterday.
The Vaporwave gaming platform has been operating for so many years and there is no shortage of third-party data statistics websites.
The sales of new games calculated by third-party data statistics websites this year are also lower than those in previous years.
This is caused by many factors.
The turmoil after the carnival ended, and of course today's live broadcast.
This either indirectly or directly affects the sales of the game.
Many colleagues are surprised by this.
Then, many colleagues had the same thoughts as Mou Feng.
This is really a rare moment for Lin Yao to steal the chicken but lose the rice...
If we say that the past period of time was the 'darkest moment' for players.
So.
The day when the new games of this year's Linmu Carnival are released is a happy moment for colleagues... The entire gaming circle is filled with an atmosphere of joy.
Ha ha ha ha.
Lin Yao actually made such a mistake...
But whatever.
As evening comes.
The much-anticipated live broadcast has begun...
The live broadcast officially starts at eight o'clock in the evening, which is the perfect prime time.
As early as six o'clock, the live broadcast website that has been cooperating with Lin Mu Studio had already released a banner advertisement for today's live broadcast on the homepage.
Regardless of whether you are a player or not, as soon as you open the website, you will see the news that Linmu Studio will start a live broadcast.
Although the subject of the advertisement is not Lin Yao, she is exactly the same as the carnival poster girl and the maid lady.
In addition, Linmu Studio’s social account also issued a live broadcast notification today.
So the live broadcast hasn’t started yet.
A large group of players rushed into the live broadcast room.
The popularity of the live broadcast room that has not started yet has been pushed to the third place in the game area.
As for real-time comments.
It has already started rolling.
Most players play Lin Yao.
It seems that this live broadcast has been equated with Lin Yao...
Seven forty.
Linmu Studio.
"Do you think the popularity of today's live broadcast room can be higher than the closing ceremony of the carnival? And do you think Lin Yao will be affected?"
Zhong Xiu stood side by side with Xi Qianyu from the marketing department. He saw a bunch of players pouring into the live broadcast room before it even started, and asked curiously.
"Hard to say."
Xi Qianyu hesitated for a moment and replied: "This is the first time I have seen this kind of avatar live broadcast, maybe."
"That's it..."
Zhong Xiu nodded, and then joked: "I hope it will have an effect. Not to mention eliminating the impact, at least the investment cost of the avatar must be recovered."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Cost recovery..."
Xi Qianyu smiled when she heard this: "That's true, after all, this thing looks quite simple, but after taking into account the miscellaneous expenses and publicity costs, it is indeed quite expensive..."
…
It's getting closer and closer to eight o'clock.
The official live broadcast room of the Forest Carnival has once again experienced a surge in popularity.
Because more players are coming in.
Live comments also scroll faster.
Eight o'clock sharp.
Exactly one second.
The live broadcast officially starts!
A light pink background appeared on the screen.
And besides that.
There is nothing left...
Where's the camera?
What about games?
Just when the players are confused...
Suddenly, a head poked out from the corner... and what appeared next was a virtual face without any blemishes.
She glanced over her head, then slowly stood up from the ground and moved a few steps to the side.
Stand in the center of the screen.
Exactly the character in the promotional picture.
The only difference from the promotional images is that the images in the promotional images are flat characters.
But now standing in the center of the screen is a 3D virtual character.
But whether it is flat or 3D, players can tell at a glance that this is a virtual character.
so.
...Is this a virtual character broadcasting live?
"Hello, everyone." Just when the player was confused, the handsome virtual character standing on the screen waved his hand and said: "Good evening! Thank you for coming to watch the live broadcast."
"..."
The real-time comments in the live broadcast room scroll faster.
【What is this? A pre-made video!?】
【Avatar? Can you still say hello?】
[The model is so detailed, but what exactly is it? 】
[What about Lin Yao? You don’t know how to live broadcast, so you just play pre-made videos, right?]
【……】
Live comments scroll extremely fast.
The virtual character on the screen did not continue to speak after saying hello.
She looked at the audience in front of the camera and suddenly said: "This is not a pre-made video. I am who I am. Don't make any mistake."
A question mark slowly appeared on the player's head.
Damn it, you still reply?
What the hell is this?
"As for who I am...you can call me the manager! The manager of the Forest Carnival!"
on the screen.
The virtual maid seems to know that players are confused.
She puffed up her chest and said proudly: "I am AI! And tonight I will lead everyone to try out this year's new game!"
"???"
The player looked at the virtual anchor who straightened his waist and seemed a little proud on the screen, and there were more question marks.
Just like when AI Kizunai, the originator of virtual anchors in Lin Yao's previous life, first came out, she was not only surprised, but even seriously discussed whether it was AI...
Because they have never seen such a live broadcast...
this……
Isn’t it the case that the camera is pointed at the anchor, and then the anchor plays the game and interacts with the audience at the same time?
How did something like this come out?
And at the same time.
Many colleagues are also watching the live broadcast.
They saw this scene.
Hearing the words of the manager on the screen, he also slowly raised a question mark.
"What kind of live broadcast is this? Wait, AI? Are you kidding..."
Sky Fox.
Mou Feng was also confused. He never expected that there would be such a live broadcast...
Of course he didn't believe what kind of AI this was.
As soon as the host on the screen said that he was an AI, he subconsciously refuted it.
And talking and talking.
He suddenly thought of something.
etc.
……motion capture!?
After all, he is an industry insider.
Mou Feng instantly realized what the character in front of the screen was about.
His eyes widened immediately.
Damn it.
Can you still play like this!?
What exactly does Linmu Studio want to do?
"Anyway, that's it. You can call me manager, you can call me manager-chan. Let's play games... Oh, I seem to be too much in the way. Wait a moment and I'll move."
Just when everyone was full of questions.
Studio.
The manager spoke again.
She moved to the side and disappeared from sight.
A few seconds later.
The screen changes.
The computer desktop appeared in the live broadcast room.
Then the general game host places the lower right corner of the camera, and the upper body of the host appears...
She swayed from side to side, as if she were alive, looked at the camera, and smiled.
"Hey, hey, can you hear me?"
"I have been preparing for this live broadcast for a long time."
"Don't worry about who I am, I am who I am, and I am the person in charge!"
"Let me think about what to play..."
Along with her words.
Mouse movement on the desktop.
She opened the Vaporwave gaming platform.
This is just like an ordinary game anchor.
but.
As soon as I saw the lifelike virtual character in the lower right corner.
Players always feel that...this familiar picture is not so familiar anymore.
In real-time comments, the words posted by players become more and more confusing.
Some asked questions, some expressed emotion, some had serious discussions, and some raised question marks.
And as more and more players flock to the live broadcast room.
There are more problems.
until.
Some players mentioned Lin Yao.
This allowed the real-time comments in the live broadcast room to be unified again.
【Yes, where is Lin Yao? 】
[Wait a minute, this isn’t Lin Yao, right? But the voice doesn’t sound like it!]
【Where is the mysterious guest???】
【Lin Yao! I want to see Lin Yao!】
【……】
The players who were confused by this novel live broadcast finally came to their senses.
And faced with the onslaught of real-time comments.
"I'm not Lin Yao. He and I are not from the same world. Of course, from an ethical perspective, you can treat me as her sister."
on the screen.
The host answered the players' doubts, then changed the topic and seemed a little sad:
"Besides, I know you want to see Lin Yao, but I'm so cute, isn't it worth watching for a while?"
"Please."
"Watch it for a while."
"No? Want Lin Yao? Okay..."
When the manager saw the screen full of pictures, he sighed and was not angry. He just moved the mouse and opened the drawing software.
Then.
The entire audience in the live broadcast room witnessed with their own eyes the host drawing an extremely abstract character on the drawing software...
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Then, she placed an input box under the figure who could barely tell that she was a woman from her ponytail and wrote the word 'Lin Yao'.
"Jiangjiang~ Hehehehe, here we come, this is the mysterious guest, surnamed Lin..."
The manager chuckled.
Then drag the drawing software to the center of the screen and loudly announce that this is the mysterious guest.
moment.
Players exploded...
The manager paused, the avatar looked like he was about to cry, and said anxiously:
"Hey, stop scolding, stop scolding, I was just joking... don't worry."
"Lin Yao will be here soon, around 8:15, because I told her it was live broadcast at 15."
"She won't be here until a while!"
"Real or false? Of course it's true, she will definitely come!"
"Why do I do this?"
"Promise me one thing first, and I will tell you."
on the screen.
Facing the curses from the players, the manager, who was very experienced, first begged for mercy and then gave the exact time of Lin Yao's arrival.
Her sworn appearance and avatar are really endearing.
Players soon stopped scolding.
Instead, following her voice, she was asked 'what'?
at the same time.
The player's first impression of the manager has also been determined.
That is a lack of strength...
have to say.
Zhu Nianqiao is very suitable for eating this bowl of rice...
"What? That means you have to promise me that you will stay in this live broadcast room no matter what."
In the live broadcast room.
When the host saw something filling the screen, he immediately stated his request: "No matter what happens!"
"Agreed? Okay... Why should I do this? It's actually very simple."
"Lin Yao is so popular, I might not be able to beat her..."
"I just thought, let's start the broadcast in advance and gain an advantage first. Otherwise, wouldn't it be weird that none of my guests are very popular by then?"
"I'm the protagonist! It's me who's been promoting all this time! What will happen when all the players go to see Lin Yao? That's so shameless."
"At least it can't be too different, right?"
Audience in front of the screen.
The face is weird.
soon.
A real-time comment popped up.
[So to put it simply, you want to run away? 】
The manager also saw it.
She immediately said: "Yes, yes! It's a sneaky cat, it's a sneaky cat!"
"As long as you promise me, I will tell you where Lin Yao is!"
As she talked, she also had a habit of speaking.
Many players couldn't help but smile knowingly.
this moment.
They think the manager is quite cute.
Then.
The players started, and they started to make promises one after another.
In short.
As long as the manager can let Lin Yao appear on the stage, he looks like he won't leave even to the death.
"Then it's agreed."
The manager seemed very satisfied, and the avatar kept nodding.
Then, she opened a new document,
Just when the players thought she was going to score twice and tease the audience.
She typed in a five-digit room number that was easy to remember, and then said: "Lin Yao will broadcast live in this live broadcast room... You agreed."
at last.
She didn't forget to add something.
but.
In sharp contrast to just now.
She just typed in the room number, and then said that Lin Yao was live broadcasting in the corresponding live broadcast room.
The live broadcast room, which was originally very lively, suddenly became deserted.
The frantically scrolling live comments also stopped.
And wait until someone brushes [Holy shit! Really!!!].
The entire live broadcast room became even more deserted...
"Eh!!!???"
In the live broadcast room.
When the manager saw this scene, he was stunned, and then immediately raised his voice: "Didn't I say yes!? Why are you leaving! You are not trustworthy! You are shameless!"
To the end.
She was a little anxious.
"That's the guest! That's the guest! I am the protagonist! I am the protagonist!!!"
And there are a few players who still stay in this live broadcast room.
See this scene.
I saw the incompetent and furious scene of this manager.
The mocking live comments were immediately sent out.
"Hahahahahaha..."
This manager doesn't look very smart.
…
at the same time.
The host of the live broadcast room here has just announced the live broadcast room where Lin Yao is located.
there.
The popularity of the live broadcast room that was exposed began to rise from the bottom position to the top of the popularity ranking in the game area...
Li Yu was relatively late in opening the live broadcast room where Lin Yao was said to be.
so.
When jumping.
The web page is visibly stuck.
And until you get in.
Li Yucai discovered it.
This is because there are too many people buying gifts...
And after turning off the gift effects.
He finally saw the live broadcast window clearly.
in the window.
The layout is similar to the manager’s place.
The only change is probably...
The lower right corner of the desktop.
The virtual character becomes the camera.
Lin Yao, who was wearing a high ponytail, sat on a chair, looked at the camera, scratched her face, and smiled sheepishly: "...Uh, good evening?"
And the real-time comment area is all ‘ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh’…
The scrolling speed is ridiculously fast.
Li Yu saw this scene, smiled knowingly, and immediately sent a series of cheering characters.
Linmu Studio.
Zhu Nian Qiao just announced another live broadcast room.
Xi Qianyu also opened the live broadcast room where Lin Yao was located.
Then.
Together with Zhong Xiu, she witnessed the live broadcast room where Lin Yao was located. In just a few seconds, the popularity started from single digits and went straight to 100,000...
In just a few minutes, this number became one million, and the popularity ranking also reached the first place in the game area.
This is not the end.
soon.
With the influx of countless players and the bombardment of gifts.
This live broadcast room started to appear on the overall list.
Then.
It rises once every tens of seconds...
Straight to the top of the overall list...
Outrageous.
It's really outrageous.
Xi Qianyu and Zhong Xiu looked at the live broadcast room with confused expressions. After a long time, they turned to look at each other.
finally.
It was Zhong Xiu who spoke first.
"It turns out that in front of Lin Yao, novel live broadcasts and virtual characters don't seem to work well..."
Xi Qianyu nodded and agreed: "Well... In addition, without Zhu Nianqiao's efforts, let alone recovering costs, I think we can still make a profit..."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!...
The live broadcast room where Lin Yao is located.
Countless players poured in and briefly vented their excitement.
Only then did I notice.
Lin Yao was actually watching the live broadcast of the Linmu Carnival host...
Therefore, these viewers who rebelled on the spot did not miss it. They all saw the performance of the Forest Carnival manager after all the players rebelled.
She hurriedly scolded the player for being shameless, saying that the player did not keep his word, saying that she was the protagonist, saying that the player was laughing at her...
I almost cried as I spoke.
He looks very unintelligent...
And after venting his dissatisfaction for a while.
Probably because he realized that he could not change the current situation.
She did not continue to scold.
Instead, he opened the live broadcast website and clicked on the popularity ranking.
When she saw that her live broadcast room dropped to a dozen places, while Lin Yao's live broadcast room went straight to the first place, she immediately complained in a low voice: "I knew I wouldn't invite Lin Yao!"
"I knew I would have let her appear together!"
"I knew she would be like this when she came out. Woo hoo, the player clearly said he wanted to protect me, but he turned around and left..."
"Are you so beautiful? Aren't you so beautiful? Am I beautiful too? I can also do somersaults! Can Lin Yao do that!?"
"Repeat it live? You remaining viewers are still angry at me! You just want to see my joke!"
"You guys wait, I will kill Lin Yao's spirit in a moment! Just watch! I am the protagonist!"
"..."
She began to think casually.
He looked envious and jealous.
Soon, players in Lin Yao's live broadcast room also started laughing.
See this.
Lin Yao seemed to be unable to stand it any longer, so she opened the 'Open Black' software and entered a channel: "Hello?"
And Lin Yao just said "feed".
Another live broadcast room.
The manager who was complaining heard it immediately.
She paused, then opened the hacking software, took a deep breath, pressed the talk button, and then said energetically: "Hello? Sister Lin Yao! Nice to meet you!!"
Polite and enthusiastic.
He was completely different from the person he was a second ago...
Live comments.
Players simply couldn't stand it any longer.
"Hahahahahahahahahaha..."
The person in charge, played by Zhu Nianqiao, instantly stood up...
