Chapter 497 Easter Egg Adventure (Thanks to ruesparrow, the leader)
Although Yi Wenwen was not sure whether the thing was dropped by him,
he still took the thing handed over by his father.
Then, he looked down.
It was a slightly yellowed ticket that was deliberately made to look old.
Yes, it was a ticket.
Because it had the word "ticket" written on it.
However, it did not mention what kind of ticket it was. Apart from the word "ticket", there were no other extra words.
Yi Wenwen turned it over and looked at the back of the ticket.
There were also no extra words, only a website address and a serial number.
"What is this?" Yi Wenwen raised his head and subconsciously looked at his father and asked.
"How should I know? Anyway, it fell from the book in your hand."
Yi Jianjun shook his head, said this sentence with a smile, and turned to leave.
After watching his father leave, Yi Wenwen lowered his head again, thought about it, and casually stuffed the "ticket" into the title page of the book and continued to read the novel.
He didn't have time to pay attention to this now.
What he was looking forward to more was... what interesting cases and chapters would be in the novel next.
So soon, he put the ticket issue behind him
and turned to read the next story.
After two short stories
, the second long story of the novel finally came out.
Soon,
Yi Wenwen was immersed in it.
At the same time,
many players actually did similar things. A
few players like Yi Wenwen didn't care about the tickets after getting them. They just stuffed them into the book and continued reading the novel.
This situation
lasted for a whole day.
On that day, the technical department of Linmu Studio reported that
only two players had logged into the website listed on the ticket.
When Lin Yao heard the news, she didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
She had spent a lot of time on the tickets...
But
she soon figured it out.
Forget it.
Since the players didn't play by the rules, let's suspend the promotion of the "Carnival"... and start it later. It
just happened that there was time to pack up.
After other departments moved out one after another, it was finally Lin Yao and the product department's turn to move to the headquarters.
That's it.
Lin Yao didn't think of it at the time.
She wanted to start the "Carnival" promotion later, but it was so late...
Although players started discussing the novel on the day it was released,
the basic topics were all about the novel itself, not the tickets.
From this aspect, we can see how popular the novel is among players... and how low the ticket issue is.
"The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes is really amazing! I really like the story of The Red-Headed League! The seemingly unrelated clues converge on one truth, and the process also shows the personal charm of Holmes! It's really great!"
"Detective Dee: The Cases of Detective Dee is still the same as always. Although the characters are a little different from the game, the characters are vividly portrayed, the serial cases are linked together, and the ending is beyond expectation! You can really always believe in Lin Yao, even in a novel!"
"If players enjoy the process of following Holmes to find evidence and reveal the answer in a suspenseful atmosphere, those short stories are really suitable! Highly recommended! Lin Yao is really unexpected.
And if you want an adventure, want to go on an adventure with Holmes, I recommend reading The Hound of the Baskervilles. It will definitely not disappoint you. The horror atmosphere created is really too strong! It makes people's hair stand on end!"
"Awesome, there is an article in Detective Dee: The Cases of Detective Dee that focuses on Di Renjie's youth. There is a feeling of time and space flowing, and to some extent, it also completes his relationship with Wu Zetian. It feels so good to read."
"I knew that when Lin Mugong came in person, he would not disappoint people."
"Lin Yao! Keep writing! Just think of it as me kneeling down to beg you! Wife!"
"I didn't expect that this novel would really be above expectations, even beyond expectations! I thought Lin Mu Studio was just playing around..."
"I also didn't expect that one day, I would see a lot of discussions about novels in the game community... [dog head]." "
..."
The players' enthusiasm for novels.
Some are beyond imagination.
Just like the last comment said, I didn't expect that one day, there would be a lot of discussions about novels in the game community.
The high enthusiasm of the players has brought some benefits, but also some negative effects.
The benefit, of course, is that because of the popularity of the game and the high enthusiasm of the players, the novel has a tendency to break the circle.
At the same time, on the other hand.
Because the two games are also very popular overseas, many overseas players have come to China to "inquire" about the news of the novel.
After seeing the comments of domestic players, many overseas players also became excited.
They are full of expectations for the overseas version of the novel that has not yet been released.
And the owner of 221 Baker Street in reality.
After he saw the reposted reviews from domestic players and saw that players from major overseas gaming communities were looking forward to the novel, he raised the price again...
Now he is selling the property at seven times the market price!
That is, no one wants to buy from him now... After all, the price is a bit too high, and he raises the price every time, which seems like hype!
As for the disadvantages brought by this...
It is that the enthusiasm of the players for the novel directly overwhelmed the posts of some players who noticed the tickets and curiously entered the website according to the instructions on the back of the tickets.
After all, the base of players who can draw tickets is not large.
Compared with those who have read the novel, the number of players willing to discuss the novel is even pitiful.
This is also normal.
And this made the first linkage of "Carnival" carefully prepared by Lin Yao not well received at the beginning, or even no response at all.
Therefore, Lin Yao postponed the related activities and publicity of "Carnival" for a few days...
Until.
The overseas version of the novel was officially released.
Things took a turn for the better.
After the initial frenzy of the release.
As more and more players bought the novel after reading it. After
the case was discussed over and over again.
The enthusiasm of the players for the novel subsided a little.
And some players who drew the tickets finally emerged.
[What is this? Did you receive the ticket after purchasing the novel? There is a website on the back of the ticket. After I entered it, I was asked to look for Easter eggs... Then I searched for a long time and finally found an Easter egg. After entering the serial number given by the Easter egg, this appeared... He also asked me to obey orders, why! 】
On this day, such a rather inexplicable post
appeared on the largest gaming community in China.
The title of this post is not very attractive.
But the picture reminded some old players of something.
The picture of the post is a man wearing heavy armor, with his hair tied into a ponytail and a scar on his nose.
This image looks a bit like a wanderer at first glance.
But many players know that this is a character in "Warcraft" when they see the name.
The little prince Varian Wrynn in the "Warcraft" DLC "Dark Tide"!
And combined with what this character said, it also confirmed this point-'Stormwind soldiers, listen to my orders! '
So soon.
Many players who have played "Warcraft" before flocked to this post.
"What is this? Varian Wrynn has grown up?"
"It should be. Sigh. The little prince Varian Wrynn fled to Lordaeron because his father was killed. He met Arthas and became friends with him. But he probably didn't expect that Lordaeron was also a place of outstanding people and Arthas would become the Lich King..."
"Yes. He was raised up, given shelter and warmth in his childhood, and taught him how to be a wise ruler. Terenas was even filial to death..."
"But it seems that he still withstood the blow and became an adult. Now he seems to be a qualified king!"
"So... what is this?" "
..."
Many players began to recall the plot of "Warcraft" under this post.
But more players asked, what is this?
And the poster was also very responsible and explained it to the players who asked.
Basically, he bought a novel of "Di Renjie" with a ticket in the middle, and then there was a website and a serial number on it. After entering the serial number on the website, there would be a webpage game, where he needed to find the easter egg, get another serial number, and finally enter it to get the picture of the King of Wa. When
the host explained this,
all the players who bought the novel were instantly shocked.
They immediately realized that something was wrong!
Linmu Studio might be doing something again!
And it was very likely that it was a big deal!
So many players immediately picked up the novel in their hands and began to flip through the pages frantically.
They wanted to find the "ticket" mentioned by the host, but most of the players did not find it.
Instead, a small number of players remembered that there was such a thing...
For example, Yi Wenwen.
One day.
He opened the forum and was about to see what the players were discussing, and then he happened to see this post.
He suddenly remembered the ticket clipped on the cover page of his novel. He
immediately became excited.
He jumped up like a rabbit, then ran to his room, took out the novel he had finished reading, and pulled out the ticket on the cover page.
"Is this another prank?"
With this thought in mind, Yi Wenwen sat down in front of the computer with great interest and began to enter the website marked on the ticket and entered the webpage.
Then he entered the serial number.
The page jumped.
Ding ding ding...
The music with a strong flavor of the 8-bit era sounded...
At the same time, a simple web game appeared on the screen.
[Easter Egg Adventure! ]
The title is this.
And the initial page, in addition to the title and a pixel-style man, has only one option.
Start the game.
Yi Wenwen clicked to start the game with curiosity.
Ding ding~
accompanied by nostalgic music, he gained control of the pixel man.
The game also started in a pixel-style castle.
First, he needs to talk to an NPC with a maid-like outline.
"I heard there are a lot of interesting things hidden here. If you can find them, interesting things will happen."
The NPC with a maid-like silhouette said this with a beeping sound effect.
Like a guide.
"Oh?"
Yi Wenwen looked at the sentences that popped up word by word, as if he had returned to his childhood 8-bit era. With a smile, he controlled the pixel character to go around in a circle, and then talked to the maid again.
The maid's words did not change, still the sentence 'I heard there are a lot of interesting things hidden here. '
"Interesting things?"
Yi Wenwen saw the maid's words again, and couldn't help but look down at the tickets on the table.
But his hand forgot to let go of the button.
He continued to press the interaction button.
When he came to his senses, looking at the maid who kept popping up the same dialogue, he was about to release the dialogue button.
"…………"
The maid's lines suddenly changed.
Beep, beep.
Two ellipsis marks appeared.
Then...
"(Sigh), you don't even want to go in and take a look? Forget it, repeating the dialogue can be considered an Easter egg, right? It should be considered... Anyway, please don't tell anyone else, I'm just a maid, not an answering machine, and I'm not anyone's wife."
"G47XSA."
"You found the 'Easter Egg', congratulations!!"
As she said this,
the game ended directly and jumped back to the start page.
And Yi Wenwen was confused.
No,
I just forgot it just now.
And why does this line feel meaningful?
Yi Wenwen looked at the serial number that popped up, and excitement slowly emerged on his face, as if he had discovered an incredible secret.
At this time,
the game also began to remind him.
The serial number can be entered into the input box below.
Yi Wenwen compared the serial number that popped up after the game ended and entered it into the input box below the game.
Then.
The page jumped directly.
The style of the webpage suddenly changed.
A new webpage appeared on the screen.
The main body of the webpage was a dynamic short video.
But it was not Varian Wrynn posted by the forum players.
Because the genders are different!
It was a place similar to a camp.
At a small table.
An iceberg beauty wearing a green shawl and glasses sat quietly at the table, holding a heavy book in her hands, and was looking down quietly.
Then.
As if she felt Yi Wenwen's gaze.
The woman suddenly raised her head, looked away from the book, and looked at the camera, that is, the player in front of the screen.
The text popped up.
[Can you take me hunting? ]
[Or draw me a sketch of the monster's bite marks? ]
"...???"
Yi Wenwen had a question mark on his head.
No, that's not right.
Who is this?
He was sure that this was not a character in any of Linmu Studio's existing games!
And what is hunting?
A new game! ?
Yi Wenwen began to click on the web page frantically, trying to find out more.
But it seemed that this was the only information.
He clicked frantically.
There was no response.
However, even so.
Yi Wenwen felt that he had discovered some shocking secrets and his mood did not diminish in the slightest...
He immediately took a screenshot of the web page, then opened the forum, integrated his findings into a post, and posted it on the forum.
Then.
Without waiting for the player's reply, he immediately returned to the "Easter Egg Adventure" game. He
restarted the game.
But this time.
He did not bother the maid who was explaining, but went straight into the castle.
Then, just like playing RPGs on 8-bit machines when he was a child, he touched here and there, and clicked on everything that could be interacted with.
After a lot of random touching.
Yi Wenwen was even more excited!
This game really deserves the name of "Easter Egg Adventure".
There are really Easter eggs everywhere... from games under Linmu Studio!
Everywhere!
Some may be triggered just by finding them.
For example, the pet in the castle is a yellow, mouse-like creature.
This is an Easter egg, an Easter egg in "Pokemon".
And some may require players to spend some effort.
For example, in the castle, at the entrance to the leftmost room, there is a woman holding a knife. Yi Wenwen talks to her.
She will ask, did you escape from the laboratory?
The layout of the room behind her is very similar to the first CG trailer of Linmu Studio, the trailer of Breakout...
After Yi Wenwen talked to her, he ran away according to the route of the protagonist in the trailer of Breakout, and ran to a place similar to the hall, which would trigger the easter egg of Breakout!
For example,
in a corner of the castle, there is a small crown, which will ask the player what kind of princess he likes the most.
Then according to the answer,
it will trigger the easter egg of The Legend of Zelda.
Or the easter egg of Mario.
In short,
all kinds of small thoughts and small designs.
The game screen is simple and the gameplay is not strong.
But Yi Wenwen's interest is getting higher and higher!
Every time the easter egg is triggered, the game will jump to the start page, and then give him a serial number, which can be entered into the input box to jump to the corresponding display page.
Every time Yi Wenwen gets a serial number, he will click it with expectation.
Then after watching the screenshots, he will go back to the game, enter the castle, and look for new easter eggs...
He never gets tired of it.
While he was enjoying it, he didn't know that the external players were about to go berserk...
...
If
Varian Wrynn's Easter egg was just the beginning, just to interest the players.
Then the 'maid Easter egg' that Yi Wenwen released later was the fuse that ignited the players' emotions!
Not long after the post was posted.
Countless players rushed in.
"Fuck! What is this?"
"Hahaha!!! This maid must be Lin Yao! Absolutely!! So what is this!?" "
Linmu Studio has started to make things happen again? So what is this? How can I participate?"
"What is this!" "
The host of the post, please come out and say something! Why don't I have a ticket for the book I bought?"
"Ahhh! The host of the post has spoken, otherwise it will be held!"
"..."
What is this!!!
This question became the most replied sentence under the post.
But Yi Wenwen was busy collecting Easter eggs and did not reply.
This made the players more and more itchy.
What is this!
In the later Easter eggs, what does the hunting that the iceberg beauty said mean?
Why can't I participate?
After Yi Wenwen posted the maid Easter egg post,
a bunch of related posts popped up.
Then,
following these posts, more players excitedly posted their own Easter egg discoveries.
What about "Breakout", "Warcraft", "Pokemon", "The Legend of Zelda" and even the latest "Sherlock Holmes".
Various Easter egg posts opened the players' eyes and made them more and more itchy.
As the heat fermented,
Linmu Studio finally took action. They began to announce the website address of the game "Easter Egg Adventure" on major game homepages, including the homepage of the Vaporwave game platform with the largest traffic.
And the website they announced.
There is no need to enter the serial number behind the ticket.
Instead, all players can participate directly!
This is good.
The players immediately stopped making a fuss, and they didn't even have time to ask what it was, and they started the Easter Egg Adventure one after another.
And on this day,
the discussion about the novel was directly suppressed.
Various Easter egg posts began to become popular.
Countless players began to share the Easter eggs they found...
"The Easter egg for Breakout! You need to follow the protagonist's escape route in the CG and run once, and then it will appear!"
"The Easter egg for Sherlock Holmes! In the fifth house from the right, you need to crack a clue related to the Hound of the Baskervilles to get it!"
"Haha! This is so interesting! The princess's little crown will not only give Zelda an Easter egg, but she will give different Easter eggs based on different choices. If you choose the last option, you will also get an Easter egg for Link! Hahaha, Link is also a princess. The Easter egg display page shows him wearing women's clothes, which makes me laugh to death!"
"For the Easter eggs related to Warcraft, you only need to go to the kitchen to get ice cubes, and then interact with the throne, and a dialogue will come out saying that your butt is cold [laughing]... So many points to complain about!"
"Call of Duty Easter Egg! Right next to the Easter Egg in Breakout! There is a button next to the queen in the Breakout CG. Just get the model of the armed helicopter and press it to trigger it! The queen in the Breakout CG will also complain to the player that the helicopter is really dangerous..." "
So what is this! So interesting!!!"
"... Repeat the conversation with the maid at the beginning of the game to get an Easter egg, but you may not know what the consequences will be if you keep getting the Easter egg after getting it. The maid will directly not let me in! [Sad]"
"..."
And there are so many Easter egg posts.
In the end.
It is still the maid's Easter egg... The most talked about.
Because another player has discovered a new way to trigger it.
After repeating the conversation with the maid to get the Easter egg, restart the game, continue the conversation, and then continue the conversation again!
In this way, keep talking ten times and get ten maid Easter eggs.
Then the maid will be completely impatient...
[I told you not to tell anyone else, but you still told them. I'm just a maid! Not an answering machine!]
[So are you stupid?]
[I, Lin... No, my maid won't let you in today!]
[...]
Then,
the player will jump directly to the start page.
And.
The start game option will disappear.
No more play!
This is also an easter egg.
When the player enters this easter egg, the easter egg page will no longer be the iceberg beauty who asks the player if she can take her hunting.
Instead, it will be a picture of an angry maid.
Let the player come back tomorrow to play...
In short,
all kinds of easter eggs, all kinds of triggering methods!
The entire gaming circle, as long as the players who have come into contact with the games of Linmu Studio, are in a collective carnival today...
And countless players, after the carnival, can't help but have such a question in their minds.
Including the colleagues in Linmu Studio, they all have the same question.
That is...
"So, what the hell is this time!?"
Tianhu.
Li Guangsheng looked at Kuang Kuang's post, then turned back to look at Mou Feng, with a helpless look on his face.
Sorry, it's a little late, I got off work late, by the way, please ask for next month's votes...
