Chapter 211 Next-generation games
A high-level anchor whose ID is called "Gang Gun King" specializes in playing "PUBG". Because he likes Gang Gun, and his skills are indeed excellent, he also speaks good slang, and interacts well with water friends, so he has A group of loyal fans.
He is also one of the top game anchors of Baby Shark.
The high anchor signing fee, coupled with the occasional sales of snacks, peripherals and the like, also allowed him to directly achieve financial freedom.
And he is also very smart. After Yaya was found guilty of evading tax, he immediately made up all the taxes and was not affected by the aftermath.
Today, he did not come up directly to play "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds". Instead, he laughed and showed a qualification to the screen, a qualification for the closed beta test of "Star World".
"Dang~dang~dang~ everyone, look what this is? I have been qualified for the closed beta test of "Star World"!"
After seeing what he showed off, the friends below were in an uproar, and the barrage was almost maxed out.
"Did you make a mistake? Last time you said you would jump off the building just for fun?"
"I thought you could persist until the closed beta and then grab a spot, but I didn't expect that you would do it in the closed beta."
"'Gangqiangwang', where is your backbone? Where is your perseverance?"
"..."
In the face of all these doubts, the ‘King of Gang Guns’ is very convincing
"Shut up! I said before that I won't play it unless I have the qualifications for closed beta testing. Of course I will play it if I have it. Besides, I am the anchor of "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds". I believe in the strength of World Company."
After seeing that he couldn't hold it back, he added
"Just tell me whether you want to watch it or not. The beta will start in twenty minutes. I have downloaded the game in advance."
"Look!"
There were many people who made fun of him before, but when he asked if he wanted to watch it, his answers were all neat and tidy.
In fact, at this time, many netizens have already gone to the qualified live broadcast rooms in the World Department, just to see if this "Star World" is just an illusion.
So does the ‘Red Queen’ AI deserve its reputation?
Many games get great word-of-mouth and high expectations when they are promoted, but when they are actually released, they are speechless and find that "this is it"?
Many of the descriptions in the promotion of "Starry Sky World" are regarded as very exaggerated.
Completely open world, complete freedom, super large map, NPC AI, interaction of NPC forces, full sandbox of resources, etc.
Anyway, it sounds like false propaganda to defraud money.
However, precisely because the game is developed by a world company with a series of legendary products and reputation that the world has always had, players are still looking forward to it and are willing to give it a chance.
Even if the promotion is a bit exaggerated, as long as it can achieve some of the effects, it is considered a top-notch game!
Moreover, starry sky-themed games already have a sufficient audience, especially EVE players. Now that EVE has been a game for a long time, there is a situation where there is not enough fresh blood and players are being lost.
Once the number of people in this kind of sandbox game drops, the playability will quickly decrease.
It is common to sit there for several hours and only end up chatting.
It's just that many of the more extreme players in EVE are still criticizing "Star World" for taking advantage of EVE's popularity.
Many people also directly posted videos on TT to criticize, and TT generously gave these players traffic!
""Star World" will be in closed beta soon, and we will know what the situation will be. I admit that World Company's own technology is very strong, and it may be able to develop a game that surpasses EVE, but it cannot be used. Such an exaggerated stunt, I will live broadcast the start of the game.”
Then this EVE player named Baozi opened a live broadcast room on Xiaopo Station, and then clicked into the live broadcast room of Baby Shark's "Gang Gun King" in the live broadcast room.
It left many people speechless.
"Brother, it turns out you are not qualified for closed beta testing?"
"Damn it, is there such an operation?"
"I'm done studying. Let me start a live broadcast. I'll join in and explain it by the way."
"..."
It has to be said that many anchors who are not qualified for closed beta still rely on this casual method. Anyway, others play the game and they become the commentators.
As the time comes, the closed beta test of "Star World" officially begins!
As players with closed beta testing qualifications, they must have pre-downloaded the game.
However, even with the data compression capabilities of world companies, the size of a game of hundreds of gigabytes is still too large for this era.
"Hey, dear, I remember that "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" was only a few gigabytes long, and it had so many functions and detailed maps. Why is it so big?"
"Damn it, I just downloaded it. I didn't expect it to be so big. Fortunately, the hard drive is big enough."
"Huh, it's a good thing that the optimization level of World Company is not mentioned, otherwise I would doubt that my computer can't be used."
"..."
As the game started and I clicked to enter, a new box popped up!
The game also has some secondary auxiliary download packages. Please reserve enough space. The auxiliary download packages may affect some career functions, but they can be downloaded in the background without affecting the game.
"There is also an auxiliary download package? What the hell is this?"
As soon as the 'Gang Gun King' finished speaking, the game title of "Star World" began to appear on the screen in front of him. The title was just a figure wearing power armor squatting on the ground in the desert, stretching out his fingers and staining them with a ball of green goo. Thick mucus.
The texture of gravel, the weathered feel of wear on the power armor, and the sticky details of the mucus are all included.
Then the next moment the desert surged, and bugs emerged from it one after another and began to exchange fire with the power armor side.
At this time, many messages appeared on the barrage.
"Isn't it a starry sky theme? Why does it feel like an MMORPG?"
"Yes, but the picture is really exciting!"
"It reminded me of the original opening of "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds", and the BGM is so exciting! Another new song!"
“Te Mo listens to Master Yi’s songs every day, but almost forgets that he is also a great musician!”
“The picture is super exciting.”
"Already interested in the game!"
The barrage was well received, but for Baozi, he immediately grabbed Hua Dian and counterattacked
"Everyone, I admit that the title sequence is good-looking, but it does not match the propaganda."
When the battle between the two sides was at its hottest, the various mechanical gunshots, ammunition, armor, and the Zerg's explosions and cruelty were just now revealed.
The next moment, the camera began to zoom up, and the battlefield screen began to shrink. As the clouds gradually appeared, the sci-fi fighter plane that crashed with thick smoke began to fall. You can see a group of bat-like bugs spitting acid on the fighter plane. liquid.
The camera continued to zoom up, showing the landing bay that was breaking through the atmosphere and blazing with fire. Satellites flashed past, and a fleet of air superiority aircraft began to appear one by one. Then, in suborbital space, a gorgeous battleship full of mechanical beauty and full of details began to appear. Appear.
It made Baozi shut up temporarily.
The model and details of this magnificent battleship in front of you far exceed the EVE pictures!
"This is just a promotional video, it's different, but I have to admit that the details of this battleship are really well done..."
But as soon as he finished speaking, the camera was still zooming out, and it was soon discovered that the mighty battleship just stopped in orbit was completely his younger brother!
In contrast, a large number of warships that were several times, more than ten times, dozens of times, hundreds of times larger than that battleship were parked in the starry sky. Every time the comparison was expanded, it attracted a burst of exclamation!
Then the main gun of a flagship charged up and bombarded the mother nest that was constantly swallowing the Zerg like a small star in the starry sky!
At the same time, language narration also started under BGM.
The omnic crisis, the Zerg, and the division of the human race themselves are the background of "Star World".
The opening screen keeps jumping, showing space stations, space cities, mining areas, buildings on the planet, space elevators, etc. one by one, all of which are top-notch movie-level images.
From the war-torn area, we slowly came to a relatively peaceful area, and then to the hinterland of the human race, and then the opening scene and the characters seamlessly switched.
If it weren't for the sudden addition of the menu bar and the character avatar in the upper left corner, I wouldn't even know that the game has started!
After the 'Gang Gun King' tentatively walked around and found out that it was true, he instantly detonated the entire live broadcast room!
"Fuck!"
"Kneel down!"
"What kind of graphics card does this need?"
"What optimization is this?"
"What the hell! Can't we all experience the scenes that just flashed by ourselves?"
"Continue quickly, where is the guide?"
Later, as the novice guide appeared, everyone discovered the identity and background of Gun King. He was a veteran whose consciousness went awry when uploading his consciousness. The mistake in uploading his consciousness caused his memory to be severely affected, and all his skills were erased and whitewashed.
Because I was affected by the upload error, I have now been approved to retire and live a normal life.
All the enhanced abilities and skills on his body were lost, and only some personal information was vaguely remembered.
Then began to register various ‘recalled’ information.
There will be many questions to fill in, including face pinching, indicating that writing these will affect the basic attributes, but please figure out the specific impact on your own.
In addition, the game ID card is bound, and you can abandon the game, but you cannot delete the account, so it is best to fill in the information truthfully based on your own information. With the data push ability of World Company, there is a high probability that you will get a more suitable initial talent if you fill it out truthfully.
After filling it out, you can switch between first-person and third-person easily, making it a controllable movie!
Standing in front of the ward and looking at the three-dimensional city outside, the flying cars, and the maglev whizzing by, it was really like being in a dream.
After filling in the information, the next step is to board the spaceship back to your ‘hometown’ based on the information you filled in!
It explains the number of spaceship flights. There are three spacecraft flights to the home planet of 'Gang Gun King' every day.
However, boarding the spaceship can be entrusted. If the character is parked in the waiting room and offline, he will go there by himself as the game time progresses.
In the early stages of the game, it is recommended to follow the guidance first. The voyage back to your hometown is a complete novice guidance process in itself!
If you miss it, please check the guide online next time.
After registering the information in the ward, you start changing the patient gown and disinfecting it. The clothing changing function starts here. There is in-app purchase, but in-app purchase is mainly about buying good-looking clothes.
Moreover, the purchase option also stated that these clothes can be obtained in the game, such as going directly outside to rob a passerby, or learning the corresponding skills to make them yourself, etc.
Special reminder: Although files will be deleted during the closed beta test, the clothes can be kept. After all, the ID card is bound to the account!
The ‘Gang Gun King’ was not short of money at first, so he directly changed his original set of casual white T-shirts into a set of more hip-hop style and flashy clothes, and also dyed his hair a little.
Then he followed the guide to the entrance of the hospital, and was prompted to choose unmanned taxis and maglevs. However, the game currency for the new account was only 100 yuan. This was the only initial capital for the game. I hope he cherishes it.
After getting the prompt, ‘Gang Gun King’ did not hesitate to give up the free maglev and spent five yuan to use the driverless taxi.
You have to wait for the Maglev ride every five minutes, but as soon as the driverless taxi was called, one flew down from the traffic in the sky, and the screen was full from all angles!
In the taxi, looking at the dreamy sci-fi city outside, the 'Gang Gun King' and the netizens watching the live broadcast were stunned.
Even Baozi, who came to find trouble, pursed his lips at this time, his eyes full of shock.
"These should be stickers, but even stickers are shocking enough."
However, netizens who caused trouble soon warned
"You are a taxi now, see if you can make it stop."
After being reminded like this, the 'Gang Gun King' started to operate. They are all veterans of playing games. After a while of operation, they found that the control platform in front of them can directly have options!
It’s not a pop-up panel, it’s a ready-made console directly on the car!
Just click on it with the mouse and the character will operate it!
It shows the flight route at this time, and there are really a lot of parking spots in the middle where you can stop.
I randomly selected the nearest one and tried it, and I saw the taxi turning quickly and landing quickly.
After coming out, looking at the bustling street, the 'Gang Gun King' felt paralyzed.
Those first things you see are not stickers!
It’s the real face of the city!
As the 'Gang Gun King' ran, he discovered that Te Mo really wanted to go wherever he wanted!
NPCs on the road will get angry and scold you after bumping into them, but this can't stop the 'Gang Gun King' from having fun.
Until he was encouraged by netizens, he came to the overpass and took a leap of faith directly below, and then fell to his death.
After death, he was prompted to upload his consciousness, and then returned to the hospital. This was the initial resurrection point he was bound to...

The third update is completed! Please order more!
My wife had a fever on the second day, and the temperature was hovering around 38 degrees. I am now feeling stuffy in my nose, and I don’t know if it’s an infection or if I have allergic rhinitis.
