Chapter 147 Found the traffic password
[Sin City? Wasn't that the game Skynet promoted before... and why is it used here?]
How come everyone else's city siege and harbor showdown are so normal, but Dolanston and Moye just happened to come to the City of Sin?
[Don't you all know? After the last desert map game, the boss in that desert game, which was originally not played by many people, suddenly became very popular...]
[Click on the live game area and you can see it directly. KKK is full of anchors who are challenging the boss point, and there are also anchors who are specifically checking in for the same throne achievement as Xu Lingqu.]
[Fuck! Tianwang is making a killing! They found the traffic password, so why are they robbing us from Lingqu?!]
[But asking military academy students to play this kind of game is really enough. Just find a streamer to play it and promote it. It's ugly to use it as a game map for the league.]
Isn't Skynet just that cowardly? Being stuck between the Empire and the Federation, things are getting a bit tense again. It's only a matter of time before the league reforms and becomes more and more entertaining.
…
"Public opinion? He still has the nerve to ask me to deal with public opinion? Why doesn't he deal with the public opinion storm caused by his beloved son, Young Master Jia Xianglan? How did this young master know about our revised draw scene? Tell us about it." Ms. Yin, the director of the league center, was very angry after listening to the report from the deputy director who had just been reprimanded by the CEO.
Skynet's original headquarters was still in the Federation's A star field, but since it opened up the Imperial market, it also built a Skynet building on the Imperial capital star. From then on, Skynet firmly placed itself in a neutral position, making profits on both ends.
Every year, the league center is temporarily established before the competition. The Empire and Federation regions randomly select planets to host the competition. Director Yin is the main person in charge. As the CEO, Jatu is her immediate superior and has caused her a lot of trouble over the years.
"Calm down, calm down." The head of the Skynet Gaming Department rushed to the Yuheng Star League Center after the Desert Tournament. Director Yin had come to him to discuss Tournament reforms. "He usually likes to give us orders even though he pretends to know everything."
“You know, we’ve been insisting on making battle maps for so long, but the audience must be aesthetically fatigued…” Ms. Yin rubbed her temples, feeling a headache. The league is so large that the audience doesn’t feel much, but as insiders, they know best that the traffic is actually declining year by year.
The biggest reason is audience fatigue. For them, every day is just watching hundreds of people slugging it out in different terrains, with the same weaponry over and over again. Large-scale space battles involving mechas, reminiscent of real interstellar warfare, are impossible to achieve. The league has been considering revamping the game for a while, and this year presents a prime opportunity.
This year's league traffic can be said to have recovered rapidly, with a positive trend. It has also been successfully monetized, driving revenue for the gaming department.
"He just likes to come up with some cruel mechanisms, which ultimately infuriates audiences in both the Federation and the Empire. Sure, it does generate a lot of buzz and attention, but how much money can you make in the end? It also easily offends both sides. To be frank, this sentiment is only getting worse. In the end, whether the Empire defeats the Federation or the Federation defeats the Empire, we're definitely not going to end up with anything good."
Ms. Yin is from the Federation, but she has an absolute business mindset. As long as she can make some money, that's enough. Anyway, ever since Skynet decided to open up the imperial market, it has been destined to make money by being a fence-sitter... Dancing on the edge of a knife, organizing a military academy league but absolutely not including any overly sensitive content.
So she was really annoyed with her immediate superior, Gatu, who thought that sending his son and daughter to military academies in the Federation and the Empire respectively was simply pushing Skynet into the fire pit.
Ms. Yin also wants to earn more and live two more years!
"The game settings of Sin City are quite fun. Dolanston and Moye will definitely have a great fight." The head of the game department stretched lazily. "But it's best to reduce the pain inflicted on the students to 50%, otherwise it will be a bit too exciting..."
"Of course, this is the only time we can make money this year. If the league becomes too entertaining, its value will be reduced. I'm also afraid that those military academies will dislike the league's low quality and withdraw from it." Ms. Yin finally finalized some details of the Sin City game map with the head of the game department and was waiting to see the results that day.
The quarterfinals did not start immediately after the draw like the qualifying rounds. The schedule was one game a day for the next four days, with Moye and Dolanston playing on the second day.
Xu Lingqu didn't quite understand what Sin City was. It was only after he left the cocoon cabin and returned to the Moye Military Academy lounge that he realized it was a game.
Guan Zhongli was more familiar with these things, so he directly played the PV of the game released by Sin City. This game was a holographic mode. After the player entered, his identity would be randomly refreshed. He might be a politician or a dishwasher in the kitchen. Different skills would be given to the player according to different identities.
Basically, once you get your identity, you'll just be fighting each other in the streets. The NPCs here are all more martial than each other, and the city's atmosphere is dominated by a simple and honest folk style...
"Once we get in, we'll definitely have to fight. We'll have to identify the NPC players, find the people from Doranston, and fight them." Guan Zhongli hadn't expected Skynet to choose this game for the competition. "This game wasn't well promoted. The results weren't good, so the launch was delayed. There's only a promotional video now."
He turned to look at Xu Lingqu, wanting to see what she thought.
Xu Lingqu was in deep thought at this moment.
How come Interstellar also has its own Gotham City?
"It's too random. This time it will test everyone's individual combat capabilities to a great extent." She came to her senses and said bluntly.
The previous map was a proper battlefield, and the terrain was large and vast enough. Even if the spawns were scattered, they could just gather together.
This city of sin is all in one city. The probability of running into people from Dolanston before gathering is too high, not to mention that there are various NPCs with strong martial virtues here. The students of Moye Military Academy have to try to solve some problems on their own.
We need to get rid of the mentality of "everything will be fine as long as we listen to Xu Lingqu" as before.
Everyone's expressions were a little more serious at this time. In the previous three qualifying matches, especially the second one, they were indeed too dependent on Xu Lingqu's command and arrangements.
Commander Xu is very strong, but it is wrong to put all the pressure on her alone.
"It's time for us to grow up. Let's all show our personal abilities this time." Lin Xiao took the initiative to speak.
Wang Qihu nodded in agreement: "Maybe Skynet added this game map because they wanted to see some students demonstrate their personal abilities."
Guan Zhongli turned off his brain projection and said calmly, "That's probably not the case. They probably just want to make money."
