Chapter 503 Exhibition Match, Monster Hunter announced
a day of carnival.
Until Lin Yao returned home, there were still players discussing the maid uniform...
The good news is that this means that the opening ceremony has indeed received the due popularity and the atmosphere has been set.
But the bad news is.
It is too good...
It feels like the topic of the carnival has been diverted.
Lin Yao was complaining all the way.
You guys are discussing the carnival!
Just discuss yourself for a few words!
But the players' behavior was obviously not diverted by her will...
Her complaints were useless. Instead, the players became more and more excited, and finally even added fuel to the fire and directly pushed the topic related to her to social media that had nothing to do with the game circle...
and it was on the hot list.
It was outrageous...
But Lin Yao had no choice about it.
In fact, she had expected it. After all
, she didn't change out of the maid uniform until she got home...
Mu Wanqing, Zhu Nianqiao and Lin Xi took turns to fight, but they didn't let her change.
Seeing their reactions, she was barely self-aware...
"I hope the announcement of the new game tomorrow can slightly reverse the situation."
Lin Yao sat on the sofa, paid attention to the focus of the players' discussion, and stretched.
The new game to be announced tomorrow is "Monster Hunter".
Even players who are not interested in the regular updates or fan meetings of old games should be interested in this new game, right?
Lin Yao was thinking about the problem, a little absent-minded.
But soon.
She was pulled back.
"Lin Xi, that's enough! I want to take a shower! Don't pull my clothes."
Lin Yao looked at Lin Xi who was bending down slightly and adjusting her maid uniform, and glared at her gently.
"Later."
Lin Xi reached out to help her adjust the white cloth covering her full chest, her eyes sparkling.
"How late is it! It's been a day! You like you to wear it yourself so much!"
Lin Yao glared at her again, and her jade feet wrapped in soft white silk fell on the floor. She stood up from the sofa and was about to take off her clothes.
Although it was not uncomfortable.
But she was really not used to skirts.
They were all back home.
She would rather wear underwear than wear this thing again.
Anyway, there is only Lin Xi in the house, and she is not an outsider.
"Eh..." Lin Xi saw Lin Yao's actions and felt a little disappointed.
"Meow..."
On the other side.
The cat heard the sound and jumped onto the table again, turned his little head and looked at the two sisters curiously.
At the same time, he used his body to block the two people who wanted to take off their clothes and the other did not let her take them off.
The cat's tail swept gently.
Then, it was a lively night.
...
The next day.
Early in the morning.
The forum, which had been reveling all night, finally stopped.
However.
As time came to eight o'clock.
The live broadcast of the carnival on the second day was about to start.
The forum soon became lively again . But the players have calmed
down.
Although the photos of Lin Yao wearing a maid uniform are still posted everywhere, after a night of rest, the focus of the discussion has become what surprises Linmu Studio will bring to the players today.
Yesterday's symphony medley, the "Breakout" meeting, and the subsequent new version and new mode trial all made the players very satisfied.
As a result, they are full of expectations for the next day.
As for those players who were crazy about the maid uniforms on the forum yesterday, they didn't care about the forum and ran to the outside of Chunying Stadium early in the morning.
However, unlike the opening ceremony, Linmu Studio did not force players to go to the venue today.
They asked the COSERs who participated in the COS show yesterday to appear in the square outside the stadium for tourists and audiences to take pictures and divert the audience.
The audience can enjoy COS in the square, or they can go to the scene to play the characters in the game of Linmu Studio.
Of course, players can also enter the venue to try out the new version of "Breakout" announced yesterday, or wait for the meeting to start.
In short, as long as it does not violate the law and discipline, or corrupt morals, you can do anything.
Then, at ten o'clock, there will be a much-anticipated "Breakout" carnival show on the main stage. The participating teams are the most prestigious NO.1 and feiren in the country.
However, the competition mode is not the blasting mode commonly used in competitions.
It is the "biochemical gun grabbing" mode that is open every year.
Yes.
After the departure of the old team members, NO.1 has risen again after two years. Captain Chen Xi led the former new team members, now the old teammates, to the finals of the "Breakout" challenge last year. Then he and the team members FEIREN, who have not changed and all the members have graduated from college, have a love-hate relationship.
Now, whether it is a competition held by Linmu Studio or other larger championships, the two teams are almost indispensable.
And the players are also happy to see these two teams that have loved and hated each other since the first "Breakout" challenge compete on the same stage again.
What's more, professional players play the entertainment mode that ordinary players like most.
This feels very fun no matter how you think about it...
After the "Breakout" exhibition match, it is the console project. The first half is mainly to announce the carnival activities and new joint maps of "Mario Kart" and "Splatoon", and then they will be opened for trial play one after another.
The last big axis is the meeting of the new game "Monster Hunter".
It can be said that the players have been arranged clearly for the whole day.
"Fuck, there are so many people..."
In the venue.
Lu Tai and several teammates couldn't stand the loneliness and ran to the scene from the backstage.
Then, Lu Tai was shocked when he saw the grand scene of the crowds in various exhibition areas.
"Normal, you think Linmu Studio Carnival is a joke."
Qi Xiao, his teammate beside him, smiled and replied.
"By the way, can we come out to play?" Lu Tai saw so many people and was a little worried.
"I just asked the staff of Linmu Studio, they said it's okay, but they hope we don't cause too much commotion, or let people gather together to cause safety problems. If there is such a trend, we have to go back."
Qi Xiao shrugged: "But there shouldn't be much problem in this regard. We are just e-sports players, not stars."
"That's right..."
"Fuck, are you Lu Tai!?"
Lu Tai nodded, but as soon as he finished speaking.
Several wandering players noticed him, and then ran over at the speed of a 100-meter sprint.
Then more and more people noticed them.
After all, e-sports star players are also stars.
"I am, but I am a player now. Give me face and don't surround us. If there are too many people, we will be driven back..." Lu Tai was stunned, then looked at the increasing number of players and quickly explained loudly.
When the players who surrounded them heard his words, they couldn't say anything, so they smiled and left.
The players who had a say started to make a noise, "Then come and fight me! Let's have a sniper duel! Let's go! I think I'm better than you! I want to join FEIREN!"
"Okay!"
Lu Tai laughed when he heard that, and said, "After I kill Chen Xi, I'll come here to queue up and I'll take care of you then!"
"It's a deal!"
The players who were making a noise started to make a noise.
On the other side, the players who supported FIERN shouted, "Kill NO.1, kill Chen Xi!"
Lu Tai also put down his airs and shouted with the players to kill NO.1...
And their atmosphere, which was like a cult scene, quickly attracted the staff.
Under the persuasion of the staff and Lu Tai, the players who surrounded them left and ran to queue up to experience the new version.
Lu Tai looked at the players who left and grinned happily.
But the next second.
"Kill FEIREN! Kill Lu Tai!"
There was also a roar from the side.
Lu Tai looked to the side.
Chen Xi, the captain of NO.1, was also enjoying the same treatment as him.
Then the players also started to shout while advising to leave.
I don't know if it was Lu Tai's illusion.
He always felt
that the player who shouted "kill FEIREN" was the same as the one who just shouted "kill NO.1"... He
was really a little pioneer who fanned the flames.
On the other side.
Chen Xi also noticed Lu Tai's gaze.
The two looked at each other,
and then looked away together.
"The atmosphere is really good."
Lu Tai retracted his gaze, then looked around, looking at the bustling players, and a smile appeared on his face.
All players came here with the purpose of happiness, communicating with like-minded people, and everyone's face was filled with smiles...
The atmosphere was really great.
"Yeah..." Qi Xiao nodded, and then looked around, feeling a little emotional.
Although he is a professional player, it does not mean that he has not played other games under Linmu Studio.
In fact.
During the break, several of their team members have played other games under Linmu Studio.
After all... the games they make are really interesting.
So, they are also looking forward to this carnival.
This is also the reason why they agreed to participate in the exhibition match without hesitation.
Because they also want to see what kind of carnival Linmu Studio will hold.
In fact, they came to the scene yesterday through the staff channel.
Even yesterday, as a representative of e-sports players at the "Breakout" meeting, they talked with the person in charge of the "Breakout" project team about the improvement direction of the game's future versions.
The starting point of their e-sports players is of course different from that of the players. When he made his suggestions, some players questioned the improvement direction he proposed as an e-sports player.
For example, the issue of sniper damage.
At that time, the players, e-sports players, and the project team discussed it together.
Even on the scene, the project team staff opened the game, showed off their skills in front of all the players, and tried the damage themselves...
Although the right to change and modify the game is still in the hands of Linmu Studio.
But the game company is willing to face the players face to face.
It feels good to have e-sports players, players, and the project team discuss together.
Moreover, it can be seen that the staff of the Breakout project team also likes the game very much, and even understands the game better than the players...
It is really much better than those project teams that are overwhelmed by KPI and can only think hard to make money.
And just now, the players did not care about his suggestions yesterday, and turned around and surrounded him to tell him that they were the No. 1 in killing...
You said that he did not like this kind of atmosphere, that was a lie...
Perhaps, only the activities held by Linmu Studio can have such an atmosphere...
"I asked, and the staff said that we can also queue up to experience the new version and fight against the players, but it is too late now, so let's finish the exhibition match."
At this time.
Lu Tai walked back from the staff who were maintaining order on the scene and woke up Qi Xiao who was in a trance.
"Do you really want to kill the players?" Qi Xiao glanced at him.
Lu Tai said confidently: "Of course, it's time to let them see the gap between e-sports players and ordinary players!"
"Okay."
Qi Xiao did not continue to stop him. Linmu Studio felt that the problem was not big. It was okay to have fun with the players. Anyway, the atmosphere was good: "Let's take a walk and go backstage to prepare."
"Okay, let's go."
The two of them left the place arm in arm.
At the same time.
Not far from them was the experience area of the new version of "Breakout".
Li Yu stood up reluctantly, and after experiencing the new mode of "Breakout" for a while, he gave his seat to others, then looked at the time and went to the venue where the exhibition match was to be held.
Although the game has not started yet.
But the venue has already set up the machines, and many players have already sat down to rest.
The biggest difference between this venue and previous competition venues is that there is no soundproof glass.
After all, it is an exhibition match for everyone to have fun.
Lin Yao also relaxed the restrictions.
If e-sports players really want to become the Roaring God, it's not impossible...
Li Yu came to the venue, found his seat, and then communicated with the players next to him without any barriers, discussing what it would be like for professional players to play in entertainment mode. After
chatting for twenty minutes,
the exhibition match officially began.
The host who had appeared in the first breakout challenge ran up and shouted with a familiar and enthusiastic voice.
The audience below also responded to him with enthusiastic voices.
The host on the stage heard the thunderous cheers and smiled from the bottom of his heart, then stopped talking and let the players go on stage according to the process.
NO.1 and FEIREN appeared on the stage respectively.
Then after sitting down, the captains of the two teams made provocative gestures to the opposite side.
One raised his thumbs down, and the other made a throat-cutting gesture.
This pushed the atmosphere of the scene to a peak again!
This was what the two captains had discussed before going on stage.
It's a carnival, an exhibition match.
Let the players have fun!
And obviously, the provocative actions that are rarely seen in serious competitions have a very good effect.
The players cried and howled.
As the game started, the players' enthusiasm was even higher.
'Gun Seizing Mode' is a limited-time mode opened by Linmu Studio at the end of each year during the Spring Festival.
Players are already familiar with it.
This is a very interesting way of playing, which is improved on the basis of the biochemical mode.
The rules are also simple, that is, the zombie's first attack will not infect the mercenary, but will seize the gun in the mercenary's hand and then use it.
It's just that the recoil is a bit strong...
This limited-time mode that will only be opened at the end of the year was also opened during the carnival. Many players played for a long time yesterday. The next day, they saw professional players using this far from fair mode to fight.
Of course, the enthusiasm was high.
And the facts proved that
professional players are worthy of being professional players!
Even in the entertainment mode,
they can play very professionally. The side playing the mercenary is like a real mercenary, with seamless cooperation. And the side playing the zombie is like suddenly having a brain, and they are so skilled in feinting and sneak attacks.
A very interesting entertainment mode has forced them to play competitively.
And what's even more outrageous is that.
After FEIREN, who played the zombie, grabbed the gun, he was able to hold it down!
Even though the recoil of the gun was about to jump up in his hand.
They were able to rely on the advantage of the zombies' thick blood to fight back and forth with the mercenaries with guns...
and then the camps were exchanged.
The same was true for NO.1.
As the players were amazed, the cheers became louder and louder.
The players of the two teams on the stage seemed to be infected by the audience. As long as they had a little advantage, they would shout to the other side .
Did you not eat?
Anyway, as long as they had a little advantage, they would start to output with the wind.
This turned the entire venue into a sea of joy.
The players shouted with the players they supported whether they had not eaten, and then when the opponent had an advantage, they booed and competed with the opponent to see who could be louder...
so happy!
Finally, the game ended.
As NO.1 and feiren's teammates announced that they would also go to the exhibition area to experience the new version and line up to accept the players' challenge.
The atmosphere reached a climax.
Li Yu sat at the bottom, looking at the professional players who said they would accept the players' challenge, put his palms to his mouth, and cheered loudly.
Then, he put his hands down and smiled brightly.
Really... so happy!!!
And this is just a corner of the carnival!
There will be a fan meeting next! There will be a new work announcement!
Today is over! There is still tomorrow!
This is really great!!!
...
Afternoon.
The audience returned to the venue in groups of three or two after lunch.
As expected.
Because of the professional players, the trial area of the new version of "Breakout" has a long queue.
And the newly opened trial areas of "Mario Kart" and "Splatoon" have also begun to line up.
However, not all players will rush to try out the new version and new map first. More players will still go to the branch venue to see the fan meeting.
And Linmu Studio does not force them to do anything.
They can go to try it out, or go outside to take COS photos, and of course, they can also go to the fan meeting.
In short, players can do whatever they want, pay attention to safety, and then have fun.
Linmu Studio did not think about building momentum for the new version and forced players to attend the fan meeting.
At the same time, because it is not forced, players can always find projects that can make them happy...
However.
When it comes to the main project, there is no disagreement among the players.
Those who are trying out the game, watching the young ladies, and communicating with like-minded people all went to the venue at the same time.
After all, the new versions of the old games that have been released can be experienced through trial play, but for new games, there is not much information that can be obtained through trial play. What's
more, the trial play of the new game is not open yet.
It will not be officially opened until the end of the meeting.
So half an hour before the "Monster Hunter" meeting was held.
Almost all players flocked to the main stage where the opening ceremony was held yesterday.
Then they sat in their seats and waited patiently for the new game meeting.
"Are you back?"
Li Yu sat in his seat, glanced at Yi Wenwen next to him, and said hello.
He was not seen in the exhibition match in the morning.
"Well, I tried the new map of Mario Kart. The art style and music are as good as ever. It's so cool!"
Yi Wenwen nodded with a smile: "I originally wanted to try the festival battle of Splatoon, but when I saw that the new game meeting was about to start, I came to take a look first... I'm so looking forward to it. I wonder what kind of game this Monster Hunter is."
"Yes."
Li Yu also looked at the stage with longing.
Next to him, two overseas audience members, Marvin and Pete, seemed to have integrated into the carnival after yesterday and half a day today. They also looked at the stage with expectation on their faces.
Linmu Studio didn't let the players wait for long.
Soon.
A young and beautiful woman wearing a T-shirt and jeans came out.
"Hello everyone, I am Zhu Nianqiao from the console product department of Linmu Studio."
Zhu Nianqiao greeted her with full energy.
As soon as she finished speaking.
The audience who knew her and those who didn't knew her cheered.
There were also a few shouts of "I want to work in Linmu Studio."
Zhu Nianqiao smiled lightly.
She is also experienced.
Wait patiently for the cheers to stop.
Then, facing the audience's expectant eyes, she said, "This year! Our Linmu Studio has brought you many excellent games, including the exclusive game that will be launched on Switch soon... Monster Hunter."
As she finished speaking.
The title of "Monster Hunter" appeared on the big screen behind her.
Although the players in the audience didn't know what kind of game it was, they immediately started cheering.
And as they cheered.
The lights suddenly dimmed.
Zhu Nianqiao also walked aside.
There was almost no nonsense!
The promotional video started!
And in the attention of all the players.
The main theme of Monster Hunter, the music that once appeared in the Olympics-"Hero's Proof", sounded!
With extremely strong momentum and shocking power, the prelude alone made all the players present feel excited!
On the screen, the actual machine pictures of "Monster Hunter XX" and "Monster Hunter Rise" appeared one by one.
Plains, abyss, desert, bamboo forest...
The camera quickly passed through the map with completely different landforms and scenery, and finally stopped at the feet of a person.
At the feet of the character, a hound suddenly emerged from the ground.
The character patted the hound's head, said "very good", turned around and rode on the large hound.
The camera zoomed out, and next to the hound, the cat stood up and jumped.
Then the character rode the hound and rushed forward.
[Linmu Studio]
Next scene.
The huge name of the production company appeared in the center of the screen!
Then the music gradually became more exciting.
The camera was focused on the person who had just ridden the hound.
He rode the hound and brought the cat, running forward, and then in the complex terrain, he relied on something like a hook to go up and down in various environments!
Whether it was a mountain or a cliff.
Whether it was a swamp or a plain.
Then, the camera suddenly changed.
In a gathering place where people came and went, an old man with a full beard, wearing ancient armor and carrying two swords took out a note from under the owl.
He opened the note in his hand, and then read the contents of the note in a low voice.
[It is said that soon... a hundred dragons will walk at night. ]
As soon as he finished speaking.
The music changed its tune.
It became some kind of string music.
And the camera was also focused on the wilderness under the night.
The wilderness with extremely low visibility.
Accompanied by heavy footsteps.
A reptile with red eyes and a hideous face appeared in the center of the screen.
Its low panting sound, mixed with the background music, sounded in the venue.
Thanks to the excellent sound effects on site.
Almost all the players held their breath.
The pressure was too strong.
In the next scene, purple flames lit up in the bamboo forest.
Then, after a heavy drumbeat, huge monsters of various shapes and strong fantasy colors appeared one by one.
[Umbrella Bird]
A monster with a huge body, sharp claws, and an opening and closing umbrella crown on its head turned its head to look at the camera.
The actual combat scene also appeared.
Its attack mode is very diverse.
For example, shaking its umbrella-shaped head and spewing flames.
Or leaning sideways to accumulate power, raising the rear wings high, and then sweeping across a large area, the body directly turns 180 degrees!
The pressure can be felt clearly even through the screen.
And this is not over yet.
The scene of the umbrella bird's appearance is very short.
Soon.
It's the next monster.
[Kappa Frog]
[Sickle Dragon King]
Two other monsters of different shapes and living areas appeared in the camera.
And this game doesn't seem to be like "Detective Dee". Every time a battle scene appears, the human side holds different weapons.
And the second half of the trailer.
"Fifty years ago, a tragedy broke out in the village... The monster was called - Yuanhulong!"
A very impressive introduction sounded.
The camera turned to the purple flame that had appeared before.
A dragon-shaped creature with purple flames in its mouth and wings burning with purple flames bit a prey, stared at the camera, and slowly retreated into the darkness.
Its name also slowly emerged.
[Yuanhulong]
In the next scene, different characters began to attack this monster that was oppressive just by looking at it.
They passed through the map where different monsters lived.
Or fought.
Or rode on hounds to travel.
Or used Kinsects to fly into the sky and into the ground.
The actual combat scenes were completely different.
Various weapons appeared one by one.
One-handed swords, double swords, great swords, katana, spears...
The only thing they had in common was that they were handsome!
Especially heavy weapons, with big openings and closings! Every knife cut into the flesh!
And just as the background music of the promotional video reached its climax.
The moment of decline from prosperity.
The monster's low roar sounded, and then the Yuanhulong with purple flames in its mouth landed on its front legs and roared at the camera.
Purple flames danced in the air.
The sound waves blew up the collar of the hunter standing in front of him.
"Betting on the hunter's honor!"
The hunter fearlessly pulled out a sword that was almost as tall as a person from behind his back, and then swung it violently.
The camera pushed forward.
The huge grudge dragon jumped up, holding purple flames in its mouth that were floating to both sides, raised its thick forelimbs, and waved towards the camera.
At this moment, the picture also darkened.
The purple flames in the mouth of the grudge dragon slowly formed the name of the game - "Monster Hunter".
The trailer ends!
...
"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!"
Below.
The audience saw the last scene where the grudge dragon turned into the title.
There was almost no pause.
Instantly, a strong cheer broke out.
Front row.
Li Yu and Yi Wenwen half stood up. In order not to disturb others, the cheers that were suppressed during the trailer all broke out at this moment. They were so excited that they raised their hands and shouted "Awesome" at the top of their voices.
So cool!
Really so cool!!
Monster Hunter!
Hunter who hunts fantasy creatures!
So that's it!
This is a genius idea.
Linmu Studio! They will never let you down!
The other audience members were similar to them.
So cool!
"This is Monster Hunter."
Zhu Nianqiao returned to the center of the stage as the lights came back on, and said with a smile: "This is one of the gifts we prepared for the players this year."
In response to her,
there were still warm cheers.
Of course, there were also a few words of "when will it be released".
After all, although the atmosphere of the carnival is very good, it is also a routine operation to draw cakes in such occasions...
Some players are still a little worried.
Although not much.
And they didn't want Zhu Nianqiao to hear or answer.
But Zhu Nianqiao heard it, and answered it.
She looked at the audience who asked when the game would be released. She
showed a bright smile.
"Although there will be a Q&A session and a real machine demonstration session later, since you are so concerned, it doesn't matter if it is announced in advance."
Zhu Nianqiao raised her hand, slightly turned sideways, and made a "please look" gesture: "Monster Hunter, released on May 15th! Fourteen days later! Officially released!"
As her voice fell.
The release date appeared below the title of "Monster Hunter" which was frozen in the center of the screen.
Seeing the release date appear.
Offstage.
The audience seemed to have returned to the first day again, seeing Lin Yao appear in a maid outfit!
No empty promises!
No suspense!
Simple and direct!
The game will be released in half a month!
So, just after watching the trailer, the excited players saw the release date and expressed their joy directly with their voices.
Front row.
Li Yu couldn't help it at all, and stood up directly. Relying on the advantage of the front row, he vented his happiness in the form of shouting!
He now had only one thought.
Too hasty!
When the "Easter Egg Adventure" announced that he was the number one player, he thought that was his happiest day. Too hasty!
Facts have proved that.
Linmu Carnival is even happier! ! ! ! !
