Game time PM16:10
There are only five minutes left before the start of the first game of the [Inquisition Debate·Personal War]
At this moment, almost everyone in the world People who pay attention to the e-sports circle, "Innocent Bound" and related practitioners within the scope have all put down all kinds of matters at hand, and poured into the Innocence Bound in an attitude that can almost overwhelm the servers of most game manufacturers, just for the sake of Enjoy this upcoming match in optimal viewing mode.
It is true that this is only the first game in the semi-finals. The theoretical value is not as good as the finals, not even the semi-finals and the third place game, but——
Even those Watchers who are not connoisseurs are well aware of how heavy the weight of this game is in a certain sense.
To put it bluntly, if the popularity of the previous game between Awakening Dragon and Lusail was still within the controllable range, and it was more like a carnival unique to the e-sports circle than a gluttonous feast, then when the debate on guilt is At this stage, and now that Awakening Dragon and Cordoba are about to have a direct dialogue, this game...or in other words, the terrifying popularity of this game that may trigger a chain reaction at any time has finally been fully realized, and in many ways Thanks to the efforts of the unit, the entire Internet exploded at this point in time.
At this moment, the popularity of the four words "Innocence Bound" has reached a very, very, very outrageous level. This level is unprecedented in the entertainment industry and will be rare in the future. It is almost impossible to replicate the traffic miracle of the author.
If we want to talk about the reasons, I am afraid that if we look for any passerby on the Internet, the other party will be able to explain clearly, such as the relentless promotion of multiple platforms, the crazy stickiness of players, the lightning settlement of many well-known clubs, and the high ranking The topic is endless, the cooperation between Little Clever Ghost and many large enterprises including the Yao Group, the heart-warming tolerance of friends and users is so heart-warming that it makes people shiver, and in some ways it can explain the problem just now, A high degree of cooperation with government agencies in public welfare areas.
However, although all of the above are true, at their root, it really allows the realm of innocence and the debate on guilt to have its own right at this moment. This article even surpassed the second place on the global hot list (the sex of a certain country’s congressman). Scandal) 15 times, and the third place 27 times (Xue Yin's new song "The Burning Body" first PV) The core reason for this phenomenal traffic is its own fault-level quality.
To put it bluntly, after nearly a year of operation, it is not difficult for anyone who has a little knowledge of this game to come to the conclusion that this thing is as outrageous as in Modern Warfare. A Zaku I (the first trial mass-produced mobile suit model MS-05A in the "Mobile Suit Gundam Series") suddenly appeared in a kind of aircraft cannon tank. It has high versatility. Its birth also marked the 'giant' Gunships' End of an Era) is just as outrageous.
It is true that Zaku I is not like some outrageous super-type machines that have the power to destroy heaven and earth, obliterate roads, and destroy stars with one strike. Under certain circumstances, it will be destroyed by many old-era weapons and even well-trained special warriors. It can be defeated by a single soldier, but no matter what, it is destined to become a milestone of an era, and it also has the advantages of a large number of fault levels.
There is no need to elaborate on this aspect. After all, Innocence has been in operation for almost a year. Whether it is the uncanny protection of the player's mental state by the game cabin itself, or the level of realism in the game, The completeness of the world view is beyond the reach of other manufacturers, and the ultra-high NPC intelligence that directly makes the Continent of Innocence extremely vivid has already been out of the circle, and has even attracted the attention of many authorities, some of which are not widespread in the industry. A leading figure in the field of science and technology.
However, under some invisible force, all the prying eyes from different standpoints were blocked from the door of the Innocence Company. Among them, those eyes that were not malicious would get an explanation that was not malicious, while others A group of people, without exception, were entangled in all kinds of outrageous troubles, ranging from being chased by a dog for three streets and accidentally breaking their legs, to even dozing off for half a minute and dreaming that they were in Siberia. He swam naked in Lake Baikal for two months and suffered from severe mental weakness and hydrophobia. As a result, the number of "rabies patients" who were transferred to the hospital during that period increased significantly, causing many infectious diseases that have become increasingly common in recent years. The doctor ushered in the second spring of his career.
However, these trivial behind-the-scenes stories have nothing to do with most people. Although there are people who are leisurely thinking about the impact of this game on mankind, the world, and civilization, people are more concerned about it. After all, it is its essence.
So, what should be the essence of a game?
The answer is without a doubt - entertainment.
Just like mahjong, poker, billiards, and black magic girls, no matter what form they eventually evolve into, no matter whether they turn into death mahjong to seek wealth and murder, no matter whether they make people doomed in the dark game , its essence is just a simple 'entertainment project' after all.
So, what about the entertainment aspect of Innocence?
After these ten months of testing, the answer to this question has long been obvious - fault.
So, even though this game has many restrictions that are not in line with commercial common sense, and even seems to be deliberately struggling with money or popularity in some places, it still inevitably explodes in popularity, and in this game It reached the peak of its popularity before the game!
People who follow the e-sports circle will never miss any high-level battle involving Awakening Dragon.
No player who likes Innocence has not heard of Cordoba, and they all subconsciously look up at that high-ranking name when they stop and linger in public spaces.
In addition to the above two kinds of people, there are countless people tonight who are focusing on this game for various reasons. They may be Xue Yin’s angry fans, or they may be attracted by the little clever guy. Children who are dazzled, maybe they are trend makers who like to follow hot searches, maybe they are secretly attracted here by capital that smells business opportunities. In short, it is unexpected but reasonable, in Cordoba and Awakening In the half hour before the start of the dragon battle, the number of people online at the same time in the game [Innocence Bound] reached a terrifying number, and on many platforms, media and various related or unrelated places outside the game , this battle also attracted crazy attention, and the most representative one was that [Red Star Entertainment], a subsidiary of Luo Ou's Red Constellation Club, went up to the limit in just half an hour.
But this is not important to Luo Ou. In fact, compared to the one-tenth of the market value of [Red Star Entertainment] that skyrocketed out of thin air, the upcoming game is more attractive to him——
"So, I came here just to tell you...especially you, Xiao Lei."
In the conference room of Red Constellation, the man who is different from the slovenly veteran ruffian in Doumbouya City wears a black suit with hot gold patterns in the public space, has a meticulous hairstyle, and a warm smile on his lips [Romeo and the Pig] Overnight] gently patted Xinglong on the shoulder: "Don't think about winning or losing or other embarrassing things, just let go and fight hard."
"Ahem, uncle..."
Among the silent young people, only Hanmei touched the tip of her nose in embarrassment and complained: "You are also a boss after all, what are you talking about."
< br>"Want me to say something that the boss should say?"
Luo Ou smiled, nodded obediently and said: "That's okay, then just listen up. Just now, our stock price exploded In order to celebrate this, everyone in the club will be paid five times their salary this month. In addition, I specifically approve that you do not need to consider your performance in the [Inquisition Debate], everything should be based on your own mood."
"Boss..."
Kuzong, who also served as the coach, opened his mouth. Just as he was about to make a speech with the theme of 'It's not appropriate to do this', he saw Luo Ou patting Xinglong's shoulder hard again and said After saying "Come on", he turned into white light and left the conference room.
Kuzhong: "..."
Xinglong: "..."
Others: "..."
It wasn't until two minutes later that the gentleman, who always spoke in an exaggerated way, smacked his lips and sighed: "The boss is really a sweetheart! Five times the salary, I admire you! Five times the admiration!"
"The whole club was shocked. Five times the salary..."
Han Mei rolled her eyes and shouted: "Does he know our salary level? Does he know what he is talking about?"
Xueran grinned, showing his cute tiger teeth and said cheerfully: "Isn't this great? Sister Meimei, you are our vice-captain, so you can't turn your elbows outward." "Sorry, although my aunt and boss have always There is no marriage or engagement, but they have worked together from eating instant noodles in an Internet cafe to today, and the relationship between a man and a woman is as impure as it is."
Hanmei glanced at Xueran and sneered: "To round things off, sooner or later we are a family, so if I don't help the boss settle accounts, I am turning my elbow outward."
Xueran: "..."
< br>"Don't worry, Meimei."
Because he is the coach of the Red Constellation, Jiuzong, who has more opportunities to communicate with Luo Ou than others, shook his head and said with a smile: "Although it's just mine. Guess, but... what the boss said just now is probably literal. If this is the case, not only did he not suffer a loss, he might even have made a huge profit."
Hanmei nodded, then said. Turning to Xinglong, he asked with a subtle expression: "What do you think?"
"To be honest, I actually planned to put aside my sense of responsibility and have a good time."
Xinglong took a deep breath, raised his right hand in front of him and shook it gently: "And the boss just said that Those words really relieved my worries, and I have to say it was a big help."
Hanmei laughed immediately after hearing this, shrugged: "If I hadn't been very good. Knowing Uncle Luo, I know that he just wanted to cheer you up, and I am afraid that this is all a conspiracy to increase your chances of winning."
"Capitalists are so scary."
< br>The pioneer sighed sincerely, and then was kicked to the ground by Xueran, whose favorability towards the boss had temporarily increased by at least a thousand percentage points because of the salary increase.
Xinglong, on the other hand, ignored everyone's fun, took a deep breath and whispered to everyone who was quiet at the same time: "As the captain, I plan to give you a few words before going to compete with Cordoba."
“Ah, I know this question!”
Han Guang immediately raised his right hand high and said loudly: "Captain, do you want to say that you must watch the game carefully in a while? This kind of opportunity to watch the masters' moves is not common, so everyone must cherish the opportunity and work hard to improve themselves. ”
“Negative points”< br>
Xing Long did not hesitate to mercilessly attack his fanboy No. 1, and then said sternly: "What I want to say is exactly the opposite. If possible, I hope you don't watch the next one. Of course, I also know that this request is nonsense and very unrealistic. Really, so if you really want to watch it, then remember well, never regard 'me' or Cordoba as your own kind, and never think too hard about how to catch up. Or beyond us, understand? ”
"Oh?"
The gentleman said 'oh' meaningfully and said softly: "So captain, are you planning to use your full strength without reservation?"
"No, just My full strength is not enough to help me defeat Cordoba."
Xinglong stared at Cordoba's high-resolution portrait on the big screen and said calmly: "I plan to risk my life with him. .”
“Got it——”
Hanguang, who was about to say a few more words, suppressed his words with a quick answer. Although his race is a standard human, he looks very immature in the realm of innocence. Kokonoe, who is almost the same as himself in reality, nodded slightly. , smiled at Xinglong: "Go, let everyone learn a lot."
"Thank you."
After leaving such a brief sentence, Xinglong also followed Luo Ou He disappeared into the conference room as abruptly as before, but the difference between the two is that one was preparing to watch the game, and the other was about to play the game.
……

"Hello everyone, I am the commentator of this game-handsome guy."
"Hello everyone, I am It’s the commentator of this game—Beauty.”
“Hello everyone, I’m the commentator of this game—Xiao Xiaobai.”
We were still chatting. As if by magic, the four commentators, who could not look serious no matter how hard they looked, got into the mood at the start of the live broadcast and introduced themselves meticulously.
Then...
"Then, welcome everyone to the first game of the [Investigation of Crime·Personal Battle] semi-finals."
The smiling face slammed the table hard and said in a deep voice Said: "At this moment, any form of rhetoric and introduction is redundant. So, please allow me to announce to you in the simplest and most simple form - both sides have been loaded, and the names of the two players in this game have been loaded. For [Awakening Dragon] and [Cordoba]!”
In the next moment, there were loud cheers that could not be heard by the four commentators, but could be easily guessed. The big screen suddenly lit up——
“The competition venue——the arena!”
