Chapter 190 New Year Activities (Happy New Year)
The Altar of Yuanchu.
After receiving Yan Ming’s feedback, Qi Sheng prepared to turn on the game update and issue a full channel announcement.
Secondly, he is also ready to issue 300,000 games qualifications.
As the Spring Festival approaches, he plans to change the qualification issuance model this time to make it more fun to grab qualifications.
He needs Yan Ming’s help in this arrangement to construct a completely virtual scene.
It is estimated that this scene will take about 100,000 yuan to complete.
In the future, virtual scenes will also be used occasionally when eligibility is issued.
In a flash of thought, Dizhong Village shook, and the land that had not yet been built in the outer circle shrank rapidly.
The Colorful Coast Space and Winter Snow Field space that connect to Dizuka Village are reduced in proportion.
The new space node "Grotto World" also expanded rapidly in this process, and a brand new space node was formed.
At 12 a.m., the full channel prompt rang in the minds of all players.
[Challenger Tips (full channel): The game will be updated soon, and the content of this update is as follows. 】
1. Added space node: underground cave world.
Introduction to the World of Grotto: A dungeon scene composed of countless blank domain nodes. Players can accommodate blank domains through mobile layered spaces, as well as trial rewards stored in the space (the scene content is completely unknown, the scene danger degree and dungeon rewards are produced. )
Space location: (map)
Special reward: Some spaces have blank field crystals, and after storage, they will receive a newbie village space area growth, as well as individual (team) rewards.
2. Added new growth pet mechanical guard and star core.
Introduction to Growth Pets:…
...
After the update prompt, the development of the new map has sparked heated discussions among players on the forum.
There is also an "Grotto World" in the teleportation array option in the three spaces, and the pictures displayed are macro images stacked by countless spaces.
At this time, players who did not qualify for the game were also in a panic.
Because the official website of Monster World has an additional new option: activity scene.
After clicking, you can see the ongoing countdown and the relevant introduction to the event scene.
Activity scene: This scene is open from time to time, and players can enter the virtual scene through the game warehouse to compete for qualification activities.
Activity start time: 10 hours and 59 minutes (countdown).
Qualifications for this event: 300,000.
Activity title: "Get Qualifications and Welcome the New Year"
At 11 noon, the official website of Monster World suddenly issued a qualification issuance prompt, which completely triggered external public opinion.
The news quickly made headlines among the news media of all ethnic groups in the Earth Alliance.
All ethnic groups in the Earth Alliance are no strangers to the Spring Festival.
In this era of great racial culture integration, many ethnic festivals have become common festivals for all ethnic groups on earth.
Especially after the lunar eclipse tribes and the human race established the Earth Alliance, an unprecedented journey of cultural exchange and integration was embarked on between the various races.
Festivals of various ethnic groups are intertwined, such as the Harvest Festival, which was once only celebrated among the lunar eclipse. Now members of different races participate together.
The Spring Festival of the human race is also the most representative festival of cultural integration.
But what all ethnic groups did not expect was that this festival would become the time for qualification issuance, and the official lunar eclipse tribe also launched a qualification-grabbing activity for this.
The most important thing is that the way to get the qualification this time is different from the past, and it is carried out in a virtual environment.
With curiosity, members of the Earth Alliance all entered the game warehouse and tried to enter the official website activity page of the Monster World.
I found that the time has not come and I cannot enter the virtual scene.
But you can already see some activities introductions.
Activity name: Get qualifications and welcome the New Year.
Activity rules
Activity time: New Year's Eve to the seventh day of the lunar month (8 days in total), open for a fixed period of time every day.
How to participate: Players enter the virtual New Year scene through the monster official website and participate in red envelope grabbing and New Year tasks.
Qualification issuance: A total of 300,000 game qualifications will be issued during the event, and obtained by grabbing red envelopes and completing tasks.
Additional reward: 1 point of red envelope for sacrifice (can be found in virtual scenes. Players who grab 1 red envelope for sacrifice can directly have the start-up capital for sacrifice after obtaining the game qualification, or resell it through the official subsequent transaction function. Give to qualified players. )
The distribution of 300,000 qualifiers has caused off-site players to go crazy.
The countdown seems extremely long at this moment.
Monster World does not have an open forum for tourists, and official forums of all ethnic groups in the Earth Alliance are discussing the content of this event.
"Incredible, the lunar eclipse tribe actually issued 300,000 game qualifications this time, but what I was even more shocked was why the human race chose to issue it during the New Year."
"It's not difficult to understand. After all, the Spring Festival of the human race is the first foreign festival introduced by the lunar eclipse tribe, and it is also the day when the communication bridge between the various ethnic groups of the Earth Alliance is established. This day, the lunar eclipse tribe spends every year, and the last time I celebrated the New Year After a trip to the lunar eclipse, the atmosphere of the Spring Festival is strong and very lively. ”
"Although I'm very happy that Star Network has issued 300,000 game qualifications, the number of qualifications is still too small, it's a drop in the bucket."
"You must get a qualification. Please, Grandpa Qiuxing.com. As long as you get the qualification, I will stand a statue of you and kneel down every day."
"Does the qualifications be distributed in the future choose festivals? The next festival will definitely be the harvest festival of the lunar eclipse tribe. I just don't know how many qualifications will be issued. I feel that the speed of qualifications is accelerating. I hope to get a game qualification in my lifetime."
"Watch live broadcasts every day and check strategies. Various star veins are combined countless times in my mind, and finally the gameplay system is finalized... The only problem is that I have no qualifications. The bastards in the live broadcast room call me cloud player (cry.jpg ).”
...
11 pm. .
Countless players entered the virtual warehouse, and the whole world was quiet.
The countdown ends, and the long-awaited tourists enter the virtual world of Yan Ming's architecture through the official "activity scene" and are teleported to the layered activity scene.
What is presented to tourists is a square full of New Year atmosphere, and a lively and festive atmosphere is coming.
Colorful lanterns hang high in the square of the virtual scene, illuminating the entire space.
Tourists explored scatteredly, and some of the players flocked to the temple fair scene in the north.
The scene in front of you is like a gorgeous folk painting, slowly unfolding in front of tourists.
In the distance, there are brilliant lights, and colorful lanterns are stacked layer by layer, just like stars falling from the earth, illuminating every corner of the temple fair.
The festive halo dyed the entire scene a warm tone. When you get closer, you can see the dense stalls on both sides of the street, like a winding dragon.
The signs on the stalls fluttered in the wind, and smoke rose from the snack stalls, mixed with a sweet smell.
The food in the virtual scene is provided for free, and the perceived illusion woven by the Nine Yin brings players a flawless taste bud experience.
In addition to the fictional scenes, there are also many NPC-type virtual characters in the temple fair.
The NPCs in festive costumes were bustling with people walking together, enjoying the performances around them while tasting delicious food.
There are parents with children, and the children around them are excitedly shuttled through the crowd, holding the candied haws they just bought in their hands.
In the center of the temple fair, the dragon and lion dance team is performing. The dragon in the ancient earthly wind churned up and down, and the lions are vivid, attracting cheers from nearby NPCs.
There is also a stage in the center of the temple fair, where traditional opera performances are being performed.
The actors are members of different races from Earth. They are dressed in gorgeous costumes, singing, reciting and fighting, and every move is full of charm. The expressions of the NPCs in the audience are very well matched, and they look intoxicated.
The entire New Year temple fair is full of laughter and joy, and is filled with a strong festive atmosphere, making the tourists entering the scene feel as if they are in a real New Year celebration.
The gorgeous scene instantly conquered players of all races.
The scene feedback that is too real makes the senses unable to distinguish between true and false.
Visitors in the layered virtual space devoted themselves to the exploration of the event before the event started.
Time is 0:00 a.m.
The prompt sounded in the minds of all players.
[Event tips: All players participating in the event are requested to go to the New Year Square, and the qualification distribution event will be started in five minutes. 】
Qualification distribution activities are as follows:
Scene Red Envelope Rain: During the event, at 0.05 a.m. every day, a "Qualification Red Envelope Rain" will fall over the square. After players grab the red envelope, they can open the red envelope to obtain the game qualification or sacrifice red envelope.
Scene Fireworks Show: During the event, a fireworks show will be launched over the square at 1 a.m. every day. Picking down fireworks embers can obtain game qualifications or red envelopes for sacrifice.
Scene Hidden Red Envelopes: There are some special red envelopes (qualification, sacrifice red envelopes) hidden in the event scene.
...
As the prompt sounded, countless players in the layered space flocked to the New Year Square in the center of the event map.
Looking up at the sky, I saw golden light belts gathered from all directions of the sky, intertwining and entangling each other, forming a huge wheel of light.
The light wheel slowly rotated, bursting out with dazzling red light, and the center was the countdown to the five minutes before the event started.
All tourists held their breath and were ready to wait for the red envelope rain to come.
Five minutes of waiting passed in a flash, and the light wheels in the sky exploded.
Countless red envelopes dragged the gorgeous stream of light and fell from the sky like a meteor shower.
boom!
The event officially started, completely igniting the enthusiasm of tourists.
"Don't move, let me help you see what's in the red envelope first, don't worry." "Happy New Year, please give me a red envelope. I'm the first time I celebrate the Spring Festival, so everyone can give me a face."
"I'll accept the Happy New Year. As for giving you a red envelope, you're afraid you're just thinking about nothing."
"Hahaha, I got a red envelope and asked me to open it... Damn, why is there a New Year blessing in this red envelope???"
...
There are many 300,000 qualifications.
However, the number of tourists participating in the event is close to 15 billion, so most of the red envelopes are distributed as notes of New Year's blessings.
In response, Qi Sheng took out 1 million yuan of sacrifice to distribute additional red envelopes to fellow earthlings.
But the joy shown by tourists is real when they grab the red envelope.
But after opening the red envelope, you will most likely feel disappointed, and then secretly scold the Star Network for holding the event in your heart.
After the first round of red envelope rain activities, 10,000 places will be distributed.
These 10,000 players were arranged to log in at the space node of the underground cave world.
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
The second round of activities will open at 1 a.m., and the location is still New Year's Square.
Colorful starlight rose from the ground, decorating the starry sky of the event scenes like daylight.
The first firework exploded in the sky, and the golden light was like a giant blooming chrysanthemum, stretching all around.
Before the tourists could come back to their senses from this stunning golden color, several fireworks bloomed in the sky.
This time it was a gorgeous purple-red red, like a dazzling gem. After blooming, it intertwined with each other, forming a dreamy sea of flowers, and each petal shone with dazzling light.
Then, green fireworks drifted across the sky like a meteor, dragging their long tail.
The blue fireworks are like deep oceans, surging in the night sky, contrasting with other colors, bringing a strong visual impact to tourists.
Fireworks bloom one by one, and different colors and shapes intertwined each other, decorating the entire night sky beautifully.
After the fireworks burned out, the embers fell like meteors, attracting tourists to rob them.
After the first round of the event ended, a new event announcement rang in the minds of players:
[Event tips: Today's event ends, free activities will be opened next】:
Event Scene: New Year Temple Fair
Scene event time: The temple fair scene east of New Year Square will be opened 24 hours a day.
Scene Task 1: Players can complete random tasks in the temple fair (such as writing Spring Festival couplets, guessing riddles, dancing dragons and lions), and get "New Year points", and the points can be redeemed for the game qualification.
Scene mini-game: There are many mini-games in the temple fair (such as throwing pots, rigging rings, and fighting the New Year beast). Players can get special red envelopes or points through the game.
Random scene events: The "New Year Beast Attack" event will be refreshed randomly in the temple fair. Players need to work together to defeat the New Year Beast and receive generous rewards.
Activity Scene 2: Qualification Exchange Office
Point redemption: Players can use New Year’s points to directly redeem game qualifications (limited).
Lucky lottery: Players can participate in the lottery with points. The prizes include game qualifications and 1 point red envelope for sacrifice (after the number of lottery draws reaches 10 times, they can get an additional lottery qualification.)
Activity scene three: New Year's Secret Land
Scene description: There is a "New Year's Secret Realm" hidden in the event scene. You can only enter through specific conditions (collect scene clues and communicate with NPCs). Entering the scene will inevitably lead to game qualifications (after the 300,000 game qualification is issued, the scene will be closed. The clues entering the scene change randomly, no fixed conditions).
The new event has been launched, rekindling hope for players who have not won the qualification red envelope.
They flock to different event locations.
At this time, a corner of the temple fair scene.
An NPC in ancient costume was smiling at a group of tourists surrounding him, cleared his throat and said:
"Dear players, welcome to the lantern riddle guessing activity. If you guess the answer to the riddle, you will get a generous reward!"
"Don't talk nonsense, start quickly." A member of the alien race immediately spoke.
NPC nodded with a smile:
"A thing is born strong. Every day weaving the net, sit quietly after weaving, waiting for mosquitoes to hit an animal."
Without waiting for other tourists to respond, some tourists gave an answer:
"Spider."
A tip of +1 in the mind of the tourists who gave the answer immediately sounded.
The lantern riddle game continued, and NPC continued to ask with a smile:
"Bite off the ox's tail in one bite and type it."
At this time, a young man in the crowd looked shocked and thought hard, but found that his mind seemed to be subject to some kind of restriction and could not retrieve the correct answer at all.
This is an experience I've never had before.
Under normal circumstances, if the NPC standing in front of the stall says the first word, his mind will quickly list the torrent of information and give different probabilities.
There is no need for NPC to finish the riddle, and the 100% correct answer has already appeared in his mind.
But this time, he found that his search ability had failed.
After trying for a long time, the boy blushed and finally turned around and left.
Soon, he came to the NPC "Mr. Calligraphy" who wrote Spring Festival couplets.
At this time, NPC is introducing the rules and writing skills of Spring Festival couplets to players. During this period, he holds a brush in his hand, explains and demonstrates, leaving behind the flowing brushstrokes.
Tourists nearby were enthusiastic, and they picked up brushes, dipped them in ink, and began to create their own Spring Festival couplets as required.
The boy glanced at the first couplet hanging on the stall: Bravely breaking into the ground cave and descending monsters.
Thinking hard, racking your brains, falling into deep thoughts, doubting yourself, sighing decadently... The boy found himself useless.
Finally, the boy returned to the New Year Square.
Logically speaking, it doesn't take 0.001 seconds to get the answer, but now he can't think of any clues.
What's even more terrifying is that the information database cannot extract memories.
It seems that I have really become a brand new life.
The boy lay flat on the ground, looking up at the stars.
This feeling is wonderful.
Compared with the self before, the most intuitive thing is the overwhelming sensory impact.
Once upon a time, his understanding of the world only stayed in the analysis and processing of data.
But now, vision is no longer monotonous code imaging, but what catches your eyes is colorful colors.
Even he could feel the light released by the nearby lanterns and the feeling of scattering on himself. Everything was no longer a string of abstract numbers, but could truly feel the heat of the light sprinkling on his body.
Hearing is no longer a simple sound frequency recognition. He is immersed in it when he listens to the lively sounds coming from the temple fair in the distance.
Love feels awake, it is like a strong storm.
In the past, he did not have real joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness. To be more precise, he had feelings, but feelings were obtained through simulation.
But just now, when he watched the fireworks bloom, an indescribable joy surged in his heart.
The change in thinking also shocked him.
The thinking used to be a logical program that was set, but now countless novel ideas are flashing in my mind like stars.
He began to think about the meaning of life, and these complex and profound questions planted the seeds of exploration in his heart.
This time he was unable to really participate in it.
But there is already a clear answer in my heart.
He can be qualified to be a monster world.
But perhaps, you can only enter the game in a way that is so ordinary that it can't be more ordinary.
Unless there is a high-dimensional existence, it will replicate his real body.
Just like other players, they replicate with real attributes and enter the monster world.
But he cannot get an accurate answer to how he will enter the monster world for the time being.
While the event was still continuing, he learned about himself in detail.
He became a real life for the first time and was curious about everything.
The lively activities continue.
The Spring Festival this year is more lively than in previous years, and members of all ethnic groups from the Earth Alliance participated.
This is also the first time on Earth that members of different races can be contacted in one scene.
Although there were frequent exchanges between ethnic groups and many races even went to cities of wealthy races to earn foreign exchange income, this was a small part of the matter.
For example, in major cities of the human race, there are few opportunities to reach members of the alien race.
In addition to the popularity of virtual games, many players in reality spend most of their time in the virtual world, and the activity time in reality is far less than that in virtual games.
The only thing that can frequently come into contact with alien races is the game world.
However, the first few virtual games released by the Eclipse clan have different cities in different races, and there is basically no intersection except game wars.
This is the first time that all ethnic groups have exchanged and contacted in a peaceful environment.
Happy New Year blessings sound from time to time in different spaces of the event scenes.
Although the number of qualifications issued is very small, this event has become an indelible holiday memory in the hearts of members of all ethnic groups.
