The word "Battle Royale" is a completely unheard-of term for StarCraft people.
However, after Xu Piao explained it, the players all understood it and found it very interesting.
They already find it exciting to have one ghost in a copy. Now CH says that more than ten ghosts can be placed in a copy. How exciting would that be!
As long as they are not playing it themselves, players are very happy to watch it.
[I think it's okay! Let's have a battle royale!]
[It feels like it will be fun, I'm already thinking about playing it]
[He's a ruthless person. I definitely wouldn't dare to do it. I just want to watch CH and Lake play by themselves.]
[Wow, is CH this cruel even to himself? Wouldn't it be too much for more than ten ghosts to catch just two of them?]
【……】
There was a lot of discussion in the barrage, but the players were all interested in her.
The person presenting the award was also surprised by CH's generosity and hesitated to confirm, "Is this really necessary?"
Xu Piao nodded calmly, then added, "But for a Battle Royale mode, it's only fun when there are a lot of people escaping. Generally, a hundred is a good starting point. I think we could find some people willing to play together at the event, or we could draw some viewers from the live broadcast room to play this mode with us. That should be more interesting."
Lake froze for a moment at first, but then he agreed with the idea proposed by Xu Piao.
"Don't be afraid, these are all data, all made by myself..." He comforted himself in his heart. Others could not see his cowardice from his indifferent image. They thought that he must be not afraid at all because he was so calm. He was the type who would sneer at ghosts if he met one.
He had already made up his mind that once he entered the battle royale mode, he would follow Xu Piao closely as soon as he landed - it was not because of Xu Piao himself that he felt safe, but because of the sense of security given to him by the panda man Tu Xu Piao. Moreover, even if the ghost was pretending to be a player, facing a ghost pretending to be a panda man would be much better than facing a ghost with a real human appearance.
"In that case, then..." The person presenting the awards consulted the judges from the Production Association, then checked the schedule. With a slightly odd expression, he said, "At the end of the awards ceremony, let's do what Producer CH called a 'battle royale' to conclude it."
In the past, the Legend Awards ceremony was not solemn, but at least it followed the normal procedures. No game player would suddenly come up with a request during the interactive session and ask the producer to play the game he made himself.
However, when thinking about the game made by these two producers, the award presenter seemed to understand something.
All I can say is that if he himself is a player of "The Hell's Distance", it should not be impossible for him to make such a request.
"The number is based on..."
"Since you need more people, I'll join in the fun." Mei He raised his hand with interest, seeing through something. "Is this the way you originally planned to play?"
Lake didn't say anything, and Xu Piao smiled without saying anything.
Mei Jiangqiu was originally bored and wanted to join in the fun, but before he could even open his mouth, his rebellious grandson beat him to it. He held his breath and waited for a while before saying that he could also try - but because he was over the age limit of "The Distance Between the Underworld", he was politely persuaded to withdraw.
In addition, some other producers expressed interest, and most of the producers from the company Yuzhouhai raised their hands.
[Oh my goodness, this wave, this wave is a dream collaboration? ]
Meimei was the first one to show her support. It seems she was really impressed. But isn’t she really afraid of being scared? Hahahaha.
[There are over fifty of us now, so what about the rest...?]
[Are there any fans? Honestly, I'd love to know what it's like to play this kind of game with the producers.]
"...Wait, didn't we want to persecute the producer from the beginning? How did it turn out like this?!"
【……】
The remaining fifty people were indeed drawn from the audience. They were talking about persecuting the producer, but when the draw was made, the audience named their names faster than each other and signed up honestly - of course, they were the brave ones.
Xu Piao breathed a sigh of relief after succeeding.
So, what was originally a proposal to persecute the producer was turned by her into a test of the battle royale.
Once the participants are determined, the next step is to randomly combine the maps.
Adhering to the principle of transparency and openness, the randomly generated dungeon maps are randomly generated using the program produced by the Game Production Association.
Xu Piao saw the aperture of the random program, which stayed for a while on maps with more urban backgrounds such as the Ghost Story School, Xingfuli Community, Taiping Hospital, and the Second Primary School, and also stayed for a while on several copies of Lake.
Hmm... what kind of dungeon would this mashup create? A Chinese Cthulhu?
Xu Piao thought about it in his mind and felt that the style of painting seemed a bit weird.
However, in order to keep people on suspense, the randomly generated copy was not announced directly, but the 100 people gathered were allowed to enter the copy first.
Xu Piao naturally followed everyone in.
…
Lake had a good idea at first, thinking of acting together with Xu Piao, with the Pandaman protecting him.
But obviously, he overlooked the fact that the positions of players when entering the dungeon are random, and it is rare for two players to be together.
So when he entered this mixed battle royale copy, he opened his eyes and saw that he was alone in a small woods in the suburbs. It was pitch black and there was no one around.
"This is..." Lake tried hard to identify the surrounding environment, wanting to first determine whether this was a copy made by him or by Xu Piao.
As for Xiao Shulin, although there are such scenes in the copies made by him and CH, even if it is the same thing, different producers will make it differently.
Lake looked up and recognized the copy element of CH from the half moon and the faintly visible telephone poles in the sky.
After confirming this, Lake became alert and looked around suspiciously, fearing that a ghost would suddenly appear from somewhere.
But just when Lake was on guard, he suddenly heard a "splash" sound not far away, as if something fell into the water.
[Oh wow, this sound of falling into the water, my DNA is moving]
What's wrong? I just started playing the game "Hell's Distance" and haven't played many copies yet. Can you guys tell which one this is?
[I'm not sure, because that dungeon doesn't have this kind of grove, but speaking of falling into the water...]
[[Mushan Reservoir], I recommend everyone to go back and play this copy]
Lake, who had tested each other's copies with CH, certainly couldn't be naive enough to think that this was just a player who was unlucky and landed on the water.
His first reaction was to turn around and leave in the opposite direction of the sound.
But if it were so easy to avoid, it wouldn't be "The Hell's Distance."
Lake was clearly walking in the opposite direction, but the further he walked, the closer he got to the water's edge. From afar, he saw the moonlight casting shimmering lights on the slightly rippling black water, and under the rippling water, a top of the head slowly emerged from the black water.
The female ghost emerged from the water, with half of her pale face exposed above the water. As she moved closer to the shore, her full appearance slowly emerged. Her long black hair draped down her back like seaweed in the water.
"Can you... help me..."
Lake paused for less than a second and turned around immediately.
Obviously, this is a [water ghost].
As Lake turned and ran into the woods, he passed by a young man who was anxiously calling a name. The young man didn't know that his childhood sweetheart had fallen into the water and had been possessed by a ghost, and was anxiously looking for her.
…
There are many people who have experienced similar things as Lake.
Since it is a battle royale, it means that this copy is now in a state where ghosts are everywhere.
Hewlett, who had come specially to watch after hearing that he could see CH playing the game he made, scanned the many split screens and soon found the Panda Man walking through an intersection with his hands in his pockets (?).
He immediately enlarged this split screen, and after thinking about it, he also adjusted Lake's split screen.
——You know what, when the Panda Man moves, the way he walks with his hands in his pockets is really arrogant, as arrogant as if he is not in a horror world now.
The panda man walked steadily, and it was unknown where he was going.
As Hewlett was watching, he suddenly noticed that the panda man CH slowed down for some reason when passing a building and looked up into the building.
"Two yellow orioles sing in the green willows, a line of egrets soars in the blue sky."
"The sun sets behind the mountains, and the Yellow River flows into the sea."
“…”
Hewlett heard the voices of many children reading aloud coming from the windows of the building, which looked a bit gray. They recited sentences one after another, some in a light tone, and some in a slow and drawn-out voice.
At first, he didn't realize what these sentences were. He just felt that this sentence structure sounded strangely familiar.
Until I suddenly heard a sentence recited by a child's tender voice: "The moon shines brightly in front of my bed, I wonder if it is frost on the ground."
Isn’t this... a poem by Li Bai?
Hewlett, who had watched every video sent by beta testers countless times in preparation for the compilation, suddenly realized that the sentences these children were reciting seemed to be all verses from the poet. Although some of them appeared in "Peach Blossom Spring" and some did not, the sentence structure clearly showed that they were all the same.
Hewlett certainly knew that this building was a school, but why were the students in this school learning the poems of Li Bai and Du Fu?
Is this simply a linkage, or is the dungeon background of "The Distance Between Hell" related to "Peach Blossom Spring"?
Hewlett intuitively felt that he seemed to have overlooked something very important, and frowned hesitantly, thinking hard.
At this moment, the audience saw that the panda man in the live broadcast suddenly moved.
He took his hands out of his pockets (?) and climbed over the school fence with extraordinary skill.
And the moment ch climbed over the fence, all the sounds in the primary school disappeared, leaving only the words "I bow my head and think of my hometown" coming from an unknown window, drifting reluctantly in the wind.
[Wait, which instance is this? Do you have any impression?]
[…[Second Elementary School], right? It looks like it from the buildings. But the [Second Elementary School] instance I played didn't seem to have anyone studying there, so I'm not sure.]
[I think you skipped the plot. There's a scene like this in the [Second Elementary School] storyline flashback.]
The author has something to say:
Most of the dungeon backgrounds in "The Distance Between Hell" are modern.
Then because they are all constructed according to the places they are most familiar with, the elementary school is the elementary school that Xu Piao attended, the ghost story school is the high school that Xu Piao attended, and the others are similar.
