Chapter 500 I've paid too much!

Li Guangsheng's intuition is very accurate.

After all, he has been paying attention to this matter, and he is also a colleague of Linmu Studio.

After he saw the promotional video of Linmu Carnival,

he knew that until the end of the carnival, this period of time will belong to Linmu Studio...

Because they are too despicable!

The foreshadowing has been too long!

Not to mention the players.

When he saw the maid in the "Easter Egg Adventure" walking forward, it was like walking through the entire history of the game, and finally reaching the end, from a pixelated little man with only a clear outline to a high-definition 3D model... With the classic lines from Linmu Studio's previous promotional videos, and finally standing in front of that group of weird characters, saying "Welcome to Linmu Carnival",

he had the idea of ​​wanting to participate...

Because the atmosphere was set off, it was really set.

He understood the feeling of Mou Feng saying "If one day, we can achieve this, I will die without regrets."

Because he also had the same idea.

It's really impossible not to accept it...

Even he is like this.

Not to mention the players.

Want to grab traffic at this time? Want to attract the attention of players, what a joke...

And the fact is exactly as Li Guangsheng expected.

After the Linmu Carnival promotional video was released, the players

immediately fell into a carnival.

After a short period of excitement

, they didn't even play other games for a short time, and they didn't even play the games of Linmu Studio for a short time. Their minds were full of carnival!

After all, the "Easter Egg Adventure" is still fresh in their memory.

Now that the "Easter Egg Adventure" is over, there is another big job next, which is really cool!

Moreover,

Linmu Studio is not as simple as releasing a promotional video.

Along with the promotional video, the official website of "Carnival" was also launched.

It not only announced the time of the "Linmu Carnival", ticket acquisition and other basic information.

It also announced all its games!

Note that all games, including existing games on the console and PC, will be linked with "Carnival".

Even games that have been released for a long time and can be considered old will be linked.

For example, "Witch" will update unique carnival costumes!

It is even more said that there are some long-term online games!

The official website even said that all players who hold tickets can get corresponding commemorative props during the carnival!

Although you can only choose one game to redeem, the redemption supports every game!

Limited-time costumes and props!

All games!

Of course.

This is just an appetizer, the most important thing is the offline carnival!

Linmu Studio will hold a meet-and-greet for all long-term games! These games will announce new content at the carnival! In addition, the person in charge of the project development team of Linmu Studio will go to the scene to meet with the players.

Then answer the players' doubts and questions!

All the senior executives of the development department of Linmu Studio will appear, including... Lin Yao himself! !

In addition.

The official website also announced that Linmu Studio will announce the next new works at the carnival, including consoles and PC!

And there will be meet-and-greet meetings for these new works, and even some new games will be available for trial play!

Let's not talk about other things.

Just this point!

Linmu Studio's new games are available first! That's enough to attract players!

The official website of 'Linmu Carnival' has five pages of details about the event!

The tentative schedule includes almost all of Linmu Studio's games, and there are a bunch of new games. It

's really a carnival!

You can imagine how excited the players are.

"Awesome!!! The opening ceremony will be on May 1st, and the fan meeting for Breakout will be held that afternoon!! The next update direction will be announced, including new maps, new guns, new passes, and new modes!"

"This is too grand!! It will last for a whole week! All the senior executives will show up! I can finally see the idiot planner!"

"What idiot planner! Be polite when you are on the scene, he is the planner!"

"What I care more about are the fan meetings for new games whose names I have never heard of! Monster Hunter, World of Warcraft, Diablo! I have a general idea about the new Pokémon games, but I really can't guess these three games. Is World of Warcraft the sequel to Warcraft? What will it be like! I am so looking forward to it now!" "

In fact, not only these new games are worth looking forward to, in addition to these IPs, Call of Duty, Detective Di Renjie, and Sherlock Holmes will also have corresponding fan meetings, so will they be new works? Are they new works!!"

"Now that I see the schedule, I feel terrible! I can't stay up for a day this month!"

“I want to meet Lin Yao!! See Lin Yao offline! I must see her at the opening ceremony!”

“Tickets! When will the tickets go on sale? I’m going to set the alarm to grab them. I have a feeling that this time the tickets will be in great demand! Very popular!”

“No need to have a hunch. Take a look at other posts on the forum. Those lucky people who bought tickets for ‘Detective Dee’ and ‘The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes’ are going crazy. Some are even saying that the tickets are heirlooms. There are also a lot of people who want to buy them at high prices.”

"It's normal, actually. Just look at how much Linmu Studio values ​​this 'Carnival' and you'll know how exciting it will be! From the 'Easter Egg Adventure', all the way to now, the published schedule is also full of useful information, without a drop of water."

"The most valuable thing should be the ticket to 'Duoyu', numbered NO.1, the number one player! I regret it now! I should have chosen to play 'Easter Egg Adventure'!"

"Yeah, the post he posted shows that he is so happy... and there are even players who pay six figures to buy tickets from him!"

"May is coming! Carnival is coming..."

"..."

The enthusiasm of the players.

It's ridiculously high.

After all, they can see that Linmu Studio's efforts in the first 'Carnival' are really full of useful information!

Even if you just look at the schedule, you can imagine the situation on the scene.

In this case, it's impossible to remain indifferent.

Overseas players can't do it!

As Linmu Studio released the promotional video of the Carnival.

Overseas players finally came out of "Detective Dee" and "The Detective Cases of Sherlock Holmes" and reacted belatedly!

Although it is said that Linmu Studio rose to prominence with the release of "Battlefield" and was remembered on a large scale around the launch of "Call of Duty",

they had many best-selling games overseas before.

Many overseas players saw the characters standing behind the "Linmu Carnival" poster maid at the end of the promotional video.

They found that many of them were familiar to them... In addition, Linmu Studio also stated that it would announce a bunch of new works on the spot, including a meeting for the highly anticipated "Call of Duty" sequel.

Who wouldn't be tempted?

So soon.

The hot topic of overseas forums directly drifted and turned into "Linmu Carnival".

Many overseas large companies, especially those with substantial interests in Linmu Studio, also received the news.

These large companies, especially the heads of large companies like Gibbs and Dreamland, were silent and helpless in the face of such activities.

The situation of this Game player platform feels more and more difficult...

and now.

The Linmu Carnival was truly a grand event for the entire gaming community.

Players were enthusiastically discussing the contents of the carnival.

As they discussed,

all the topics led to the same question.

That was... tickets!!!

"

Prepare to release the first batch of tickets."

Lin Yao sat behind her desk, looked at the enthusiastic discussions of the players on the forum, smiled, and then looked at Mu Wanqing who was holding a box not far away, and gave an order.

"I have asked the operations department and the technical department to prepare, and they will be released soon."

Mu Wanqing nodded and replied.

This time, Linmu Studio did not let the ticketing website take the lead in ticket sales, but Linmu Studio participated in it itself.

After all, the enthusiasm of the players was too high.

With such high enthusiasm, the enthusiasm of scalpers also continued to rise...

Lin Yao spent so much thought and effort to prepare the carnival, and of course she didn't want the players' experience to be ruined by scalpers.

Therefore, the threshold for buying most tickets was very high.

Only those who have played a certain game for more than 150 hours, or have purchased two buyout games from Linmu Studio and completed at least one of them, are eligible to buy tickets.

Most of the "Carnival" tickets sold will have such a rush purchase threshold, and after purchasing the tickets, you need to bind your ID card immediately, and then you need to match the ticket with the ID card to enter.

Later, Lin Yao will release a small batch of tickets for ordinary audiences, but most tickets will be sold in this way.

In short, the old players of Linmu Studio have an advantage in buying tickets.

Although it is said that new players can create more value than old players, Lin Yao does not want to listen to these nonsense.

She personally thinks that the maintenance cost of old players is the lowest and the most important.

They have accompanied Linmu Studio through the entire rise process, and the purpose of her planning the carnival is to increase the cohesion of fans and give benefits to old players.

As for new players, there will be plenty of games to attract them in the future.

Lin Yao is still confident about this.

Of course.

Even if it reaches this point, it is estimated that scalpers will still have ways, such as purchasing some player accounts.

Lin Yao couldn't do anything about this.

After all, the devil is always stronger than the saint. If you want to take advantage of a loophole, you can always find a way.

Lin Yao can only try her best.

"Then remember to tell me if you have any questions."

Lin Yao got a definite answer from Mu Wanqing, then stood up, stretched, checked the time, and prepared to go out.

Although the carnival is now attracting countless attention.

But this is only a temporary victory.

After attracting attention. Whether

the carnival can satisfy the players in the end becomes the top priority.

Especially the opening ceremony.

The suggestion that Lin Yao originally wanted to make to the Global Game Awards is now used at the carnival.

However, time is very tight, and she attaches great importance to the medley performance at the beginning.

So she has to go and take a look from time to time.

"Wait."

But just as Lin Yao was about to leave, she was stopped by Mu Wanqing.

"Is there anything else?"

Lin Yao looked at Mu Wanqing, who was holding the box in one hand and holding her wrist with the other, and was a little confused.

"Well, the clothes are here."

Mu Wanqing nodded gently, and then showed the small box in her hand.

"..."

Lin Yao's expression became a little subtle.

This action is too fast, is

n't it? "Take a look to see if it fits."

Mu Wanqing let go of Lin Yao's wrist, then put the small box in her arms on the table, then opened the lid, took out a maid uniform from it, and came to Lin Yao.

It was a very traditional maid uniform.

The overall design is based on the maid uniforms of medieval Europe, with functionality as the main appeal. The style is very simple and plain, mainly composed of an apron decorated with white ruffles and a white collar plain dress.

It is not the kind of short skirt maid uniform that many people are most familiar with, and then you have to wear pantyhose or suspenders under the apron.

After all, Lin Yao is giving players a surprise, not selling benefits... If she really does this, she will fall behind, and Lin Yao is not happy.

The only time she wore black stockings was in front of Lin Xi... How could she wear them everywhere now?

Most importantly, Mu Wanqing might not be happy about it...

In addition, the design of the "Carnival" poster girl was originally to wear a long skirt, so this is reasonable.

However...

Although it is different from the short skirt that many people are most familiar with, it looks very conservative.

But the maid's costume has been developed for so many years and has long been attached with cute attributes.

The same is true here.

So.

When Mu Wanqing took the maid costume and compared it in front of her, Lin Yao's expression was still a little subtle.

"... It fits just right."

Mu Wanqing compared the costume with the girl for a while, and then looked at the girl's round and pretty oval face, as if she imagined what Lin Yao would look like when she put it on... A faint smile appeared on her face.

"That's fine, but... I suddenly feel a little regretful."

Lin Yao sighed and had the idea of ​​backing out.

"It will actually look good..."

Mu Wanqing shook her head gently, and then advised: "Do you want to try it here?"

"No, wear it when the time comes."

Lin Yao shook her head immediately.

Mu Wanqing heard this, but she didn't force it. She put away the maid uniform and continued, "Then there are only shoes and stockings left."

"Ah? Why are there stockings? Isn't this a long skirt?"

Lin Yao was immediately alert when she heard this.

"Because the hem of the skirt reaches the shoes, the calves will be exposed, and it won't look good to be bare-legged."

Mu Wanqing explained, "So usually socks are worn inside, and considering the special nature of the maid uniform, socks that can cover the entire calf are usually worn, and only stockings or pantyhose meet the requirements...

Considering the color matching, the best choice is white stockings... But don't worry, if it's just the calf, it won't be exposed at all, I have fully considered it."

"White stockings?"

Lin Yao slightly widened her beautiful eyes.

"Yeah."

Mu Wanqing looked at her and nodded seriously.

"Goodbye!"

Lin Yao turned around and left: "Even if I, Lin Yao, die... Don't pull me!"

...

At the same time.

Just when Lin Yao was worrying about the costumes...

Linmu Studio's operations department and technical department released the release time and purchase conditions for the first batch of sects in the "Carnival".

The first batch of tickets! On sale the next day!

Adopting a rush purchase system! There are hard conditions!

But the hard conditions or entry barriers are not a problem for most players who have strong expectations for the "Carnival".

After all, the most enthusiastic about the Carnival event are the old players who have grown up with Linmu Studio. And these old players, which one is not playing a certain game for hundreds of hours at least. What

they are most worried about is their own face.

After all, if the conditions are met but you don't get it, it's useless.

So overall, the players are still very satisfied with this rule. At least the signal released by Linmu Studio is very clear, that is, old players are given priority.

This is also in line with the positioning of the carnival.

All the games of Linmu Studio gather together, and players celebrate and have fun together.

And to participate in such an event, you must have a certain understanding of at least one of the games of Linmu Studio,

right? Of course.

Some players also criticized that the requirements were too strict, but there were really not many such people.

After all, players who don't play Linmu Studio games won't be so excited.

Overseas, the conditions are the same, and they also have to consider the cost of international travel.

Lin Yao did not give overseas privileges and treated everyone equally.

Probably because of the success of the annual e-sports festival, many overseas audiences were not disappointed. Their enthusiasm for this "Linmu Carnival" event was also very high after the promotional video was released.

And the first batch of tickets for the "Linmu Carnival".

They were all sold out within thirty seconds of the sale.

The speed of selling out was beyond imagination.

It made all domestic colleagues smack their lips.

It also let all the colleagues know that Linmu Studio's event was successful again.

And time passed day by day.

Players

were eagerly waiting for the arrival of the carnival.

At the same time, they were eagerly waiting for the tickets that Linmu Studio released in a constipated manner...

and Linmu Studio

was also preparing and preparing in an orderly manner.

The venue decoration, event process, schedule confirmation, live performances, safety issues...

Lin Yao also temporarily put aside the costumes and began to do the final rehearsal for the opening scene.

The whole studio began to run frantically.

They worked hard for the most important comprehensive event of Linmu Studio in the first half of the year, the "Carnival".

Because there were too many people, Lin Yao finally asked the affairs specialist to contact Pengcheng.

Pengcheng was also very considerate and gave the "Linmu Carnival" the same degree of assistance according to the scale of the end-of-year e-sports festival.

The main reason was that there were many overseas audiences.

With the support of Pengcheng, Linmu Studio's preparations were more relaxed.

In the end,

everything was moving in a good direction...

April 23.

The last batch of tickets for the "Carnival" was released. After this batch of tickets was sold out, it was officially announced that all tickets for the "Linmu Carnival" were sold out.

As for the result.

Some were happy and some were worried.

Because the venue can accommodate a limited number of people, there are only so many tickets for the carnival. There are still many old players who really can't get them...

Linmu Studio also took this into consideration.

A new announcement was released, stating that it would cooperate with the largest live broadcast platform in China to broadcast the carnival live.

This is a small consolation for many players who didn't get tickets.

For more players who don't have the conditions to participate in the scene because it is too far away, it is the best news.

After this news was announced.

Whether it is the players who got the tickets or the players who didn't get the tickets and don't have the conditions to participate in the scene for the time being.

While enthusiastically discussing the content of the "Carnival" in major game communities, they all began to look forward to the arrival of May 1st!

The attention of all!

...

Time.

Soon it came to May 1st.

Seven o'clock in the morning.

Pengcheng!

Chunying Stadium!

Chunying Stadium, which hosts e-sports events at the end of every year, is packed with people at this time point in the first half of the year!

It's really packed with people.

There are people standing almost every half a meter.

There are people everywhere!

They lined up in an orderly manner. Although no one was shouting loudly... but the huge square was full of people. Even if everyone made a small sound, it made the scene extremely noisy.

What's more.

There were many COSERs standing at the entrance!

Some of them were players, but most of them were COS groups specially contacted by Linmu Studio.

They wore costumes of famous characters in Linmu Studio's games, wearing wigs... or helmets.

Very eye-catching.

This made the already noisy square even more lively.

"Fuck, why are there so many people? Is that star having a concert?"

On the motorway next to Chunying Stadium, a taxi driver looked out the window while waiting for the traffic light and was shocked.

Oh my god.

It's all heads!

"It's not a concert. Look at the huge poster outside the stadium... This is the game carnival of Linmu Studio."

The passenger in the back of the taxi smiled and looked at the huge poster outside Chunying Stadium.

Those are all games under Linmu Studio.

What about "Breakout", "Warcraft", "Mario Kart", "The Witch"...

As long as you are a game player, you can name them all.

"Carnival?"

The driver also looked at the huge poster outside and felt that it looked familiar, but he didn't play games after all, so he quickly shook his head and sighed: "It's not a star, but there are indeed a lot of people. The last time I saw a star come to a concert, there were not so many people... Are you here to participate in this too?"

"Yes, so driver, can you hurry up..."

"Soon, soon, you can get off after passing this traffic light."

...

At the same time.

Inside Chunying Stadium.

A lounge.

"..."

The cute girl had a little shyness on her face, wearing a white maid headscarf on her head and a maid dress with white as the main color and ruffles.

The plain maid dress, although very conservative, could not hide the girl's graceful curves.

The hem of the dress went all the way to the girl's calves.

The girl was wearing small leather shoes, and between the shoes and the hem of the dress, a section of her delicate calves was exposed, wrapped in soft white silk...

very traditional.

But also very sexy.

With the shyness on the girl's face, she looked cute... enough.

"Very pretty."

Mu Wanqing helped the girl tidy up her clothes, then stepped back, looked at her carefully, and nodded with satisfaction.

"...I've paid too much!"

Lin Yao heard her words and looked down, then after a moment of silence, she sighed, gently gathered her hair, and said: "Forget it, let's get started!"

"Okay."

Mu Wanqing nodded gently, then looked at the girl again, couldn't help but take a step forward, opened her arms, and hugged the lovely girl tightly.

She hugged her hard for a while, and then left reluctantly.

Lin Yao: "..."
