Chapter 396: Sharing the Bright Moon and the Long Night
Mid-October.
The autumn wind in Shanghai has already turned chilly.
The lights in the whale watching laboratory were on, and Cheng Qing led the project team to sprint to the finish line almost in one breath.
The progress bar of the entire "Song Pulse Thousand Lights: Sharing This Bright Moon" finally stopped today.
【100%】.
In an instant, the office erupted in applause and cheers.
Soon, Whale Watching released a carefully prepared promotional copy.
The text is just a few short sentences:
[Whale Leap·Whale Watching Lab｜"Song Pulse Thousand Lights: Sharing This Bright Moon" is coming soon]
[Tonight, the moon is bright, and we share this light. Thousands of lights converge, illuminating the past and present.]
[Core gameplay mechanics of "Songma Qiandeng"]
[New "Share the Moon" mode, allowing interactive visual dialogues with ancient and modern figures]
【Official launch time: 8 o'clock tonight. 】
[Online platform: Xingzhou/Xingfin users synchronized update]
【"Sharing this bright moon," sharing this long night.】
The accompanying picture is a long scroll of night:
In the streets of the Song Dynasty, thousands of lanterns were hung on the river, and the bright moon was in the sky between the city walls.
At the other end of the scroll, night scenes from different historical periods slowly emerge.
Vaguely visible are various well-known historical figures.
The lights on both sides eventually converge into a river of light in the middle.
Moreover, very deliberately, the launch date of "Sharing the Bright Moon" was set on the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar.
The day of "15th" symbolizes the full moon and reunion.
Therefore, the official Weibo of Jingyue also forwarded this Weibo,
Also deliberately with the text:
[On the 15th day, the moon is full]
Thousands of lights are lit, inviting you to enjoy. Ancient and modern times share this light, and every household shares it.
As soon as this Weibo post came out, the players went completely crazy.
The number of comments about Starship and Starfin skyrocketed within just a few hours.
"Going online on the 15th? That's too good of a date to pick!"
"When will the bright moon appear? I raise my cup to ask the blue sky..."
"Jingyue is at it again! The copywriter is killing me!"
"Jingyue, don't understand the players too well! Who wouldn't be moved by this?"
"So, this is the transplant of 'Songmai Qiandeng' onto the Starship?"
"No, I haven't bought it yet!"
"Stop talking, I'm going to queue up at the Floating Shore Experience Hall now!"
"What does interactive visual dialogue mean? Can anyone explain it?"
The players were looking forward to it, but also full of confusion.
What is "interactive visual dialogue"?
What is the relationship between this game and "Songmai Qiandeng"?
But the more no one can explain it clearly, the more anxious everyone becomes.
…
7:55 pm.
Chu Feng was sitting at home, broadcasting live.
"Come on, come on, come on, hurry in! Old fans all know that whenever Jingyue launches a new project, I, Chu Feng, will definitely be the first to rush in!"
"Today is our special performance of 'Sharing the Bright Moon'!"
"I'll download it right away, and now I'm just sitting back and waiting for it to go online!"
As he spoke, he had already walked to the study where the Starship equipment was stored.
The audience was swiping the screen like crazy.
"I actually caught you live streaming!"
"Jingyue has been going a bit crazy lately... How come even my brother Chu is excited?"
"What exactly is interactive visual dialogue? Can you really chat with historical figures?"
Chu Feng was also confused:
"I don't know either! Doesn't the copywriting sound quite mysterious?"
“I’m looking forward to it too!”
At this moment, the lights in Chu Feng's study have dimmed, replaced by an immersive projection of the star ship.
While debugging the live broadcast, Chu Feng glanced at the system time.
19:59:32
"Alright, guys, get ready!"
The projection of the starship began to slowly unfold.
Countless points of light rose from the ground, as if countless stars were awakening from the void.
In just three seconds, the entire study seemed to disappear in an instant.
Instead, there was a pitch-black night, with lights dotted around, as if countless stars had fallen to the earth.
"Fuck..."
Chu Feng subconsciously took a step back.
“Although I’ve experienced other Starship games before, this time, it seems more immersive!”
"Xingzhou really surprises me every time!"
Barrage screen:
“Here it comes, here it comes!!”
"Brother Chu, come on, let's see if there really is visual interaction!"
"Holy crap, this image quality!! These special effects!!"
“Every time I see you, I want to buy one!”
"Brother Chu's current live broadcast frequency and rewards, plus advertising, should be enough to recoup the cost of this starship!"
Chu Feng didn't look at the barrage, he just felt his eyes light up.
Countless paper lanterns slowly rose up and gathered on a long street with bluestone slabs and rows of shops.
In my ears I could hear the hawkers' calls, children's laughter, and even the faint sound of fried snacks.
Chu Feng hadn't recovered from the scene before him.
The system interface slowly emerged.
【Welcome to "Songmai Qiandeng"】
[Each lamp carries the blood and memory of a character]
[Light it up and you will get a character who will become part of your family]
It turns out to be the old recipe.
The core gameplay is still the same as before.
Chu Feng followed the prompts and tried it himself.
It does feel similar to the previous "Song Mai Qian Deng".
The most important difference is that the characters on the cards are visualized directly in front of you.
Moreover, the card drawing process has also been changed.
It turns out that the card was drawn out of thin air.
Now, a shadow walked out directly from the rising paper lantern.
Chu Feng stepped onto the bluestone street step by step.
Watch and comment.
Not far away, a familiar plaque slowly appeared:
【Family Ancestral Hall】
Chu Feng clicked on the guide that appeared on the panel and tried to draw a card.
Chu Feng flicked his finger and a paper lantern exploded.
Light particles condensed, and a man in ancient robes stood before him.
The man said in a resounding voice: "My name is Zhang Zhe, and I am willing to assist the clan leader in his strategy!"
The next second, Zhang Zhe bowed and his palm brushed across his cuffs, and even the slightest sound of fabric rubbing against each other was clearly audible.
Chu Feng couldn't help but snapped his fingers.
"Brothers, did you see that? This isn't just drawing a card, this is summoning a real person!"
The barrage continued to explode:
"If a beautiful woman comes out, I'll kneel down!"
"While there are still hereditary points, Brother Chu, try drawing a few more!"
"Hurry, hurry! I'm just waiting to see Brother Chu's African blood take effect!"
Chu Feng grinned: "Then draw a few more!"
Soon, the lights in front of Chu Feng shattered one after another, and the light was brilliant.
Many characters keep coming out,
A middle-aged scholar, about fifty years old, stood with his hands behind his back and bowed calmly: "Please enlighten me."
A woman in a crimson dress, holding an oil-paper umbrella, bowed slightly and asked, "Are you still short of an accountant?"
An old man with white hair and beard and a dignified face came out on crutches, his eyes as sharp as a torch: "You can still be taught."
…
The barrage exploded directly:
“??? What the hell! This is like an NPC acting out right in front of you!”
“I declare: The virtual performing arts revolution has begun.”
"The character strength is about the same as before, but the way it's presented is incredible!"
"Brother Chu, go build a family! See how the development system works!"
Chu Feng also opened his mouth.
The feeling of watching someone being summoned by oneself is so shocking!
Then, Chu Feng simply manipulated it.
The scenes kept switching, and a shadow of a mansion appeared in front of Chu Feng.
He tapped lightly, and the mansion gradually took shape. Under his arrangement, the characters moved into different local properties one by one.
Chu Feng sighed,
"Confirmed! The gameplay hasn't changed, it's still family development, upgrading mansions, raising characters, and farming resources... It's just that the graphics have been upgraded by several eras, and it's been turned into a three-dimensional movie!"
Barrage teasing:
“New wine in an old bottle, but this wine is really delicious!”
"Brother Chu, please try to find where the moon is! Can they talk to you?"
Chu Feng also reacted immediately.
"This visual feedback is amazing! But, but brothers, drawing cards is one thing, but I'm here to watch 'Sharing This Bright Moon' tonight!"
"So this time, I won't try to manage the family business!"
"Otherwise, several hours would have passed! Let's first see how the shared moon mode works in this game!"
Soon, he followed the instructions.
I discovered that there is a street leading to "Sharing the Bright Moon".
A virtual light path unfolds before your eyes, like a long river of lights stretching into the distance.
Chu Feng went there decisively.
The lights in the street market suddenly jumped violently.
The world before his eyes turned upside down.
It was like passing through a layer of water. One second it was all in the ancestral hall and books, and the next second, the whole world changed.
The lights became more dense and the streets became more complicated.
Chu Feng stood in the middle of a huge street intersection. On the plaque were engraved several large characters with a strong ancient flavor:
【Share this bright moon】
The moon is already at its zenith.
In the distance, lighthouses that seem to be floating on the water slowly rise.
This is a wider and longer street.
On both sides of the street, stone archways, wooden attics, wine shops and tea houses are lined up one after another, with brilliant lights illuminating the night sky.
The floor tiles are like mirrors, reflecting the moonlight in the sky.
The crowd around is a mixture of phantom and reality.
Everyone seems to exist in reality, yet appear and disappear, like a dream.
Chu Feng exhaled softly: "Is this the 'Sharing the Bright Moon' that Jingyue is promoting?"
The barrage instantly boiled over:
"Here we come! Home game is here!!"
"Sharing this bright moon!! Holy shit, this scene is so beautiful!"
"This is Whale Leap's trump card!"
Chu Feng stared at the scene in amazement, his heart pounding.
He even forgot that he was live streaming.
He felt like he had traveled through time.
The melodious sound of piano filled the air, and the crowds of people were bustling in the distance, as if one were really in a prosperous era.
At the same time, the system prompt quietly emerged:
【Welcome to——Sharing the Bright Moon】
【Here, you will interact with historical figures in real life】
【You can randomly encounter people during night walks and choose the people you meet. 】
The words on the light screen gradually faded away, and the night fell again.
Chu Feng licked his lips, took a step forward, and walked towards the bustling neighborhood.
