Chapter 98 Chapter 98 Spark II, coming soon. ...
The stars are lit everywhere.
Originally the palm of the hand of faith.
Then around the square.
Like beacon fire, they connected into a patch, swirling and roaring. Like a flaming dragon, they soared into the sky.
In the dazzling firelight, the sky was lit up again.
The Huozhan Studios logo appeared again at the end of the live broadcast.
A mecha stood at the left end of the sky, its black outline hidden at the junction of light and darkness, and its cold hidden blade flashed a sharp edge.
Another dark green mecha, with a multi-round rapid-fire small-caliber cannon SC48-Death Kiss on its shoulder, pointed the muzzle at the black mecha opposite.
The two mechas faced each other in the sky.
At this time, the fire of the hand of faith ignited again.
Volcanic eruptions on lava planets.
The scorching flames stirred up air currents and rushed up to the sky, again and again, each time rising higher.
As if trying to break free from some restraints.
The people in the square seemed to be ignited and started to discuss heatedly.
"What is this, the final Easter egg?"
"These two machines are so new, I've never seen them before."
"It's a newly released model from the Laiji Institute. Their account posted a silhouette image. It's a model specifically for the Mecha League."
"I've been polishing the silhouette image until it's covered in tartar sauce, and it turns out it looks like this."
"My favorite game has teamed up with a top mecha research institute. What kind of dream collaboration is this?"
The crowd was in an uproar, and the two mechas in the sky suddenly turned their heads in unison, as if they were looking at everyone in the square.
The dark green one's muzzle is facing the square.
Someone subconsciously started looking for cover, but two seconds later realized that this was a game and they wouldn't be shot. They jumped up, pointed at the mecha, and cursed.
"Don't point the gun at the audience, who taught you that?"
"Wait, the mech seems to be actually observing us."
The man rubbed the goose bumps on his arms and pointed to the sky.
As expected, everyone saw the black mecha kneeling on the sky, tilting its head and looking at them curiously.
The next moment, the black mecha twisted its wrist, clenched its fist, and slammed the ground.
Again and again, extremely heavily.
It was as if it was going to smash through the curtain wall that separated the dimensions.
Finally, "boom", a hole was smashed in the curtain wall.
A black mecha arm emerged from the gap.
It clings to the gap.
It tore open the sky.
It jumped down from the big hole and came in front of everyone.
When it crashed to the ground, it brought with it a cloud of volcanic ash.
The pits and paint peeling after the battle, and the realistic light and shadow painting, are what everyone sees.
Another dark green mecha followed closely behind.
Now everyone could see more clearly, it was not through a screen, but right in front of them.
Each bionic color-changing scale on the dark green mecha is different, and it creates a dreamy camouflage color depending on the angle.
Every time its "skin" moves, it seems to be breathing.
Everyone was stunned.
Everyone's heartbeat suddenly quickened.
No company would create brand new content before shutting down the server, let alone complete this level of action design. This requires a lot of effort.
Is it what they think?
"Is there going to be a second part of Spark?"
But everyone immediately thought, don’t be happy too soon.
"I don't know how many rumors have been spread over the years, but the first batch of core staff of Huozhan Studios have left, and there is no way to put together a team."
"If they couldn't do it in the past two years, how can a studio that has been on the decline in recent years still do it?"
"Where will the funds come from? Where will the team members come from?"
Everyone calmed down.
They have been fooled so many times that they dare not hope, fearing that there will be greater disappointment later.
"It's probably just an Easter egg."
Everyone lowered their expectations and comforted themselves.
The atmosphere in the square was a little sad for a moment.
"What is that? There seems to be something in the crack of the sky."
Someone looked up and said.
As soon as the man finished speaking, something strange happened. Hundreds of E-level Zergs flew out from the cracks in the sky.
E-level dragonfly.
It resembles a dragonfly in appearance but is much larger, with an adult body length of 0.6 to 1 meter and a wingspan of up to two meters.
The four transparent wings have clear veins and are very sharp.
It's fast enough to cut through steel.
"Is this also an Easter egg?" Everyone looked confused.
Not only are there new aircraft models, but there are also new Zerg races.
Are Easter eggs so exciting?
Is it really just... an Easter egg?
The dark green mecha reacted quickly, pointing its cannon barrel towards the sky.
SC48-Death Kiss fired multiple shells continuously, which continued to explode in the gap where the Zerg appeared.
After a series of flashes, several E-level dragonflies fell to the ground, their wings shattered, their limbs broken, and they kept twitching.
Because it was too real, some players screamed and were so scared that they disconnected.
All the game players present received emergency communications.
[Sender: Command Center, Sender: Xu Ruocheng]
【Do you want to receive the message? 】
【Confirm/Cancel】
Everyone clicked confirm without hesitation.
[Xu Ruocheng]: The planet Casoniel has been invaded by an unknown Zerg. Soldiers, please return to the command center immediately!
"Xu, Master Xu?"
Xu Ruocheng was the NPC who gave everyone tasks at the beginning of Huo Zhan, and everyone was impressed by her.
Because in the game plot, the command center where Xu Ruocheng is located has been attacked by Zerg many times, and it can be called a disaster center.
But Xu Ruocheng inexplicably survived to the end of the story, and was nicknamed by players as the No. 1 NPC of Fire, the Mentor of God, and the Most Powerful Mantis.
etc.
In the later stages of the game, all players have already completed the story and will only occasionally receive bland holiday greetings from Master Xu.
Now, when I suddenly received her battle notification, I suddenly recalled the excitement of the first time I went through the novice tutorial.
Soon, Xu Ruocheng's figure appeared on the sky screen. She stood in front of the operating table and swung her linen braid behind her.
He supported the table with both hands and spoke in a serious tone.
"The command center was attacked by Zerg."
"You're not new recruits anymore. I'll quickly explain to you the combat situation on the front lines."
And then, Xu Ruocheng switched the camera.
The sky screen began to play a battle video.
To be precise, it is a data pack that simulates combat footage.
Countless mechas of various shapes are flying swiftly in the universe.
They come from all over the galaxy, have distinct personalities, and have no unified front.
But they cooperated brilliantly and cut off the Zerg heads one after another.
Xu Ruocheng: "The Zerg have developed a more advanced intelligent core. After years of dormancy, the Zerg Hive is experiencing another outbreak."
"But... humans are also evolving."
"Now, we are entering an era of the explosion of sentient mechas."
Every new thing that appears in the expansion pack makes the audience hold their breath.
A hearty combat experience, exquisite, realistic and extremely contagious visuals.
Brand new graphics, brand new engine, brand new mecha, brand new combat mode!
The veteran players were so excited that their hands were shaking. Yes, this was what they had been waiting for, they had been waiting for years.
A "beep" sound.
A task panel pops up in front of everyone in the square.
【Do you want to accept new tasks from the command center? 】
【Confirm/Cancel】
Everyone clicked to confirm, and the Spark Studios logo reappeared on the sky screen.
[Spark Game Studio has reached in-depth cooperation with the Leimen Mecha Research Institute and Baishi Industry.]
【After a long wandering of the soul, we gave birth to a brand new work. 】
【The stars are eternal, and the fire is rekindled.】
[Tinder 2, coming soon.]
After a moment of silence, deafening cheers broke out in the square.
"Am I hallucinating? Pinch me."
"It's not an illusion, it really is Spark II. I'll never see it again, I'll never see it again!!!"
A viewer watching the broadcast said: "I really cried. I wiped my tears with my cat."
"Did you all just notice? The expansion pack shows sentient mechas. It's a sentient mecha, everyone. Do you know what this means? These incredibly valuable sentient mechas can now be experienced in-game by ordinary people like us!"
While veteran players were frantically recording their screens, Haitai Technology's official website regularly released a new high-definition expansion pack.
[Irina]: Sorry for the wait. It took a while to gather the team members. The closed beta will open next week. Everyone, remember to wait and grab the closed beta code. Old players who participated in the commemorative live broadcast will have priority redemption channels~
【Irina】：By the way, everyone should pay attention to the accounts of the relevant production team for the latest news. @火種二@莱门机甲研究院
The comment section was filled with screams of "Ahhhhhhhh".
"Fire Studio, I will follow you for the rest of my life!"
"Okay, I saw it. I'll delete this. I won't be able to get the redemption code later."
"I just discovered there's a brand new model in the expansion pack. How many models has Laiji Institute hidden away and not sold? Is there no limit to your manufacturing capabilities?"
The article was quickly reposted all over StarNet.
Tinder 2 also began internal testing in batches according to the scheduled date.
The first batch of internal test codes will be available for redemption on the 14th, with only 10,000 codes available.
Redemption conditions: Player level is Private First Class or above, and the total login date is greater than 365 days.
At the same time, 10 million Fire Coins are also required.
The requirements are quite stringent, but they are still sold out immediately after they are launched.
Someone quickly listed the redemption code on the shopping website for a whopping 100 million yuan.
Someone else took a photo.
"You can buy a real mecha for this price. Which rich person is so stubborn?"
"Today is Thursday. I forgot what happened next, but you V-ed me 100 million to buy games."
"But seriously, if I had the money, I'd probably buy it too... I'm so craving Fire Seed II. So, officials, why are there only 10,000 redemption codes? I'm going to riot!"
The second batch of internal test codes, 100,000 in total, were quickly released and were snapped up as soon as they were released.
But after this increased exposure, some negative voices emerged.
"It's just a mecha game, is it really that fun? It's just marketing, I won't steal it anyway."
"Selling nostalgia again, can't you have something fresh?"
"Re-selling old stuff is a common practice for game manufacturers."
But this negative voice did not affect the popularity of the game at all, and players even started to make fun of it.
"That's great, one less competitor."
"It's a ten-year-old game, but nobody's playing it. How come all the beta codes are gone in the blink of an eye?"
"Does anyone have a beta code? I really can do anything—"
Zhu Xiaorui sighed.
She had watched the commemorative live broadcast and had priority to redeem the codes, but because she had used up all her Fire Coins playing the card drawing game in the square that day, she did not receive the first batch of internal test codes.
She got there on time and asked the whole dormitory to get the second batch together, but still failed to get one.
If I had known earlier, I would have listened to Teacher S and not spent all the Spark coins. Maybe I could have exchanged them in the first batch.
Now my roommates play every day.
She could only watch and drool.
Wait, think about it carefully, how does Teacher S know that keeping the Spark Coin is useful? Does she have any inside information... ?
Difficult, could it be that the game that Teacher S mentioned before is Tinder 2?
No way.
Zhu Xiaorui swallowed, opened the message box, tapped Tao Ying's profile picture, and sent her a puzzled cat expression.
Soon, Zhu Xiaorui received a message.
[S]: In-game beta test code, which we agreed on before, but I was too busy and forgot about it.
【S】: The other two are from your teammates.
【S】: Goodbye to the professional league.
Zhu Xiaorui opened the registration page of Fire 2 with trembling hands and entered the beta code.
Then smoothly and smoothly, I entered the game page.
It really is the beta code for Spark II! There are only 100,000 of them in the entire StarCraft universe, and you can't get one!
Zhu Xiaorui was stunned for a moment, then jumped up excitedly.
"Teacher S, you are my God!!"
