Thinking of this, Inada Moriyama felt even more depressed. The floating islands were inexplicably caught in the crossfire this time. They could have spoken up and protested against Shenzhou's domineering and distorted behavior, but because of the self-serving actions of their own group of useless people, they, who could have stood firm and gained sympathy from global public opinion, have completely lost their position as the weaker party.
nonsense!
Have you ever seen a weaker party take the initiative to provoke someone?
Regardless of any hidden reasons, what's done is done, especially since it was done live by billions of people, a stupid thing done in full view of everyone!
"I really want to find all these useless people!"
Inada Moriyama gritted his teeth inwardly. At this moment, even he himself was unaware that a long-faded instinct was quietly awakening within him.
In his office, Lin Rui watched the online spectacle with great interest. He had already informed everyone that the demo version of the game would be released at 6:00 AM.
Of course, he didn't intend to issue a public announcement; he just wanted everyone to harbor a sense of anger. After all, that anger wasn't directed at him; in this matter, they were still the victims!
As for the public resentment caused by the floating islands, that has nothing to do with him.
Please, if people from all over the world don't have this kind of resentment towards floating islands, how can his game resonate with them?
After all, the storyline and dungeons are all geared towards the floating islands.
There's no way around it, there's no such thing as a comfortable life in this world. This floating island nation deserves its bad luck. The language is not much different from that of ordinary people. Although the neighboring Hibiscus is more hated, this is the history of that parallel world. Even if Lin Rui had a thousand times the courage, he wouldn't dare to mess it up, right?
"This account was a complete waste of effort."
Looking at the account logged in on the monitor, Lin Rui secretly curled his lip.
L!
From the moment he created the account, Lin Rui had been plotting to frame someone. For example, he claimed that L was a member of the Floating Island and that he hacked into Tianrui Games Entertainment because he disliked the game's background, and then disclosed the various analysis files he had hacked.
It wasn't that Lin Rui looked down on the hackers from Floating Island; it was that he hadn't even considered whether the game would provoke a strong reaction from Floating Island.
To his surprise, before the official authorities of the floating island could even complain or condemn it, a group of hackers got carried away, so Lin Rui simply decided to play along.
As for why we made arrangements in advance?
As mentioned earlier, the floating islands must be made to incur hatred.
Otherwise, the game wouldn't be immersive, and he didn't want anyone overseas to express sympathy for the floating islands in the future. After all, public opinion doesn't necessarily represent the will of the people; most of the time, it's driven by capitalists with ulterior motives.
Lin Rui turned off the lights and left the office, not letting Chen Bin take him home, since Chen Bin needed to continue monitoring the server to prevent it from being compromised.
The person who drove him home was an executive from the game company. The two didn't talk much on the way, and Lin Rui just looked out the window, looking thoughtful.
Actually, when it comes to murderous intent, flies and mosquitoes are pretty much the best. When it comes to attracting hatred, these two pests are number one and number two, and there's really nothing else that dares to compete with them.
The introduction of the concept of guns and cannons can be said to be Lin Rui's deliberate act.
It's not that he wants to harm the world, nor does he have such thoughts. The real reason he did this is that he doesn't want some excellent works to be tarnished.
This idea actually came to him when he was filming "Inception," but at the time he didn't know where to start and had a lot of concerns.
But after having a deep conversation with the old pope, he let go of that concern.
Think about it, movies like "The Shawshank Redemption," "Schindler's List," "The Godfather," and "Léon: The Professional," or even movies like "Infernal Affairs," "Jurassic Park," and "The Avengers," and even many animated films, all revolve around one indispensable prop.
arms!
Do you think it's realistic and immersive to actually fight monsters and dinosaurs with a kitchen knife?
You're overthinking it!
Of course, sentimental dramas like Hachiko are fine, but we can't keep focusing on making tear-jerking stories, can we?
Going back to the point, when filming "Inception," Lin Rui realized that using only knives was unreasonable. Although after system optimization, the concept of being able to control objects in dreams and use them to blow up Japanese soldiers' heads from 800 meters away with a single slash, similar to Li Xunhuan's flying dagger, was introduced.
But Lin Rui later felt that he only wanted to make a science fiction film and did not intend to go into fantasy, so it just felt awkward no matter how you looked at it.
At six o'clock sharp in the morning, Tianrui Games Entertainment's official website released the game trial version for download.
People from all over the world who were originally complaining about the floating island nation suddenly rushed over and downloaded it at lightning speed.
Many people who were still sleeping, or even preparing to sleep, were notified by their relatives and friends, and they were all wide awake, getting out of bed and turning on their computers.
Ren Hetai was awakened by his grandson's knocking on the door. His eyes were a little red and swollen from staying up late, but when he heard that the game was finished downloading, he didn't care about resting. He sent a message to Director Luo saying that he wouldn't be going to school today, and hurriedly got dressed and went to the living room.
This time, Ren Hetai listened to "Red-Clad Ladies" very carefully several times, and his feelings were different each time.
Then, with a heart full of anger and trembling hands, he gripped the mouse and began his first gaming journey.
There are many others like him. According to incomplete statistics, most bosses turn a blind eye to employees slacking off or taking leave in the workplace today.
There was no way around it; the sound of the bugle call was just too mesmerizing.
Some people were playing the story mode, while others started online co-op dungeons, experiencing the charm of dungeons such as "Tunnel Warfare," "Mine Warfare," and "Hundred Regiments Offensive."
In online collaborations, many Chinese players were surprised to find that almost every room had Russians speaking their native language, and these Russian players would occasionally sing "Katyusha".
You said there was no content that was leaked on overseas social media platforms?
Whatever!
This is just a demo!
The players in that country were not swayed by other overseas players at all, thinking to themselves, "Go ahead and be jealous, we'll make you drool when the official version comes out!"
"Dad, why are you up so early today?"
As soon as Lin Rui came downstairs, he saw Lin Changhe sitting in front of the computer, engrossed in playing a game while also communicating with others via voice chat.
Lin Rui took a closer look and exclaimed, "Hey, isn't this a dungeon of 'Landmine Warfare'?"
Seeing that Lin Changhe was too busy playing to pay attention to him, Lin Rui was both amused and exasperated. He simply walked to the restaurant, grabbed the meat buns that Dong Juan had bought, and put them in his mouth.
"Xiao Rui, come here for a second."
Halfway through the meal, we heard Lin Changhe shouting from the living room.
"Dad, what's going on?"
Lin Rui walked into the living room, eating and drinking a meat bun in his left hand and soy milk in his right.
At this moment, Lin Changhe put down his headset and exited the game. He asked curiously, "Does your newly established company have any plans to make games based on the Three Kingdoms period?"
"I don't have that plan for the time being."
Lin Rui shook his head: "Dad, isn't this game good?"
"Okay, but I still prefer the Three Kingdoms period."
Lin Changhe rubbed his eyes: "Look, Dad is getting old. This game is too fast-paced. My eyes hurt after playing for a while. I hope to find some slower-paced games."
At this moment, Lin Changhe's tone conveyed more of a sense of wanting to do something but being unable to.
"Okay, I'll make arrangements to have the company develop a Three Kingdoms-themed strategy game."
Lin Rui smiled. This was simple. After all, there were quite a few games like this in the store. Although they wouldn't do anything completely fabricated, it was something that could be done in a dozen or so working days in this world.
It's just that the character illustrations require some effort, but for a top-notch artist like him, it's a piece of cake!
"Really? When will it be ready?"
Lin Changhe got excited as soon as he heard that.
"Barring any unforeseen circumstances, we will strive to release it simultaneously with the Three Kingdoms TV series."
Judging from the current schedule, the official production team is speeding up the filming of the Three Kingdoms series, and it is believed that this star-studded Three Kingdoms drama will be successfully released before the Spring Festival.
Just then, Lin Rui's phone rang.
Lin Rui glanced at the number; it was unfamiliar, but he knew that anyone who could call him must be someone of considerable status.
"Is it fleeting life?"
Judging from the voice, it was an old man.
The voice sounded somewhat familiar, but Lin Rui couldn't quite place it for the moment.
"Yes, may I ask who you are?"
"Last time, I sat next to Old Chen."
It's him!
The late President of the Huaxia Literature and Art Association!
"Good morning, Mr. Wen."
Lin Rui's expression turned serious: "You called me, could something have happened?"
"It's alright, it's alright."
Chairman Wen laughed and said, "It was this bugle call that kept me up all night."
After a pause, Chairman Wen continued, "I'm calling you this time to tell you that we've decided to put you in full charge of this year's Spring Festival Gala."
