Chapter 359 The First Virtual Games
"Let's go, let's go there quickly."

After the roommates reunited, they hurriedly left the square to keep up with the crowd.

However, when they arrived at Dr. Omu's research institute, they were shocked by the scene in front of them.

Because there are too many people!

They all crowded into the hall and came forward to receive the initial pets.

Even if Honghuang added hundreds of reception desks and expanded the area of ​​the institute's hall, he was still surrounded by crowds.

"Don't crowd, don't crowd!"

"Hurry up, give up your seat after the leaders are finished."

"Ah, it's so hard to choose. I don't know which one to choose."

"Why isn't there a Pikachu option?"

"Is my Skin God so worthless?"

"God bless me, just give me an evolved pet."

"It's so funny, why don't you just ask Mewtwo."

In order to be as realistic as possible, object collisions are also added between the characters. There is no direct mold-crossing like in other games.

It is this kind of crowd pushing scene that makes them more involved. Instead of being bored, they find it very interesting.

Especially those who successfully got the initial pets and squeezed out of the crowd, they smiled so proudly.

Then he hurriedly left under the envious eyes of other players and headed straight outside Zhenxin Town.

And this time.

The grasslands and forests outside Zhenxin Town are also very lively.

Pokmon battles can be seen everywhere. Players are commanding the battle and trying hard to conquer their second Pokmon.

Some were chased by violent wild Pokémon and screamed wildly. The scene was extremely spectacular.

"Squirtle! Use ramming on the pangolin!"

Somewhere at the edge of the forest, a player with ID: Zhong Er Boy shouted loudly and directed the battle.

Squirtle, who was in the pool, received the order, retracted into his shell, and slammed into the mountain rat in the distance.

boom!
The pangolin, which activated its rounding skill to increase its defense, was knocked away and its health bottomed out instantly.

"What a great opportunity! Take it from me!"

The middle school boy was so excited that he quickly took out an ordinary red and white baby ball, pressed the switch and threw it towards the pangolin.

Whoosh!
The pangolin turned into white light and was taken into the treasure ball.

After struggling for a few times, there was finally a pleasant ding sound.

"Haha, pangolin, I got it!"

The middle school boy excitedly picked up the baby ball and put on the same middle school posture as the protagonist Xiaozhi.

When the other players nearby saw this, they also surrounded him with envy.

"You conquered it so quickly?"

"Why do I always fail to conquer?"

"I'm even worse. I can't control my strength every time, and I die instantly..."

"Quickly, let's see what attributes and skills the mountain rat has."

Pokémon like pangolins like to walk around underground. It's not easy to find one, so they are naturally very curious.

The middle school boy didn't waste any time. He picked up the treasure ball containing the pangolin and checked its properties.

[Picture Book NO: 0027]

[Name: Mountain rat (unnamed)]

[Attribute: Ground]

【Gender: Male】

【Height: 0.6m】

【Weight: 12.0kg】

[Character: leisurely (increased defense, reduced speed)]

[Skill: Rounding (General)]

Rows of detailed information appear on the interface.

There is also an ability fan chart listed on the right, marking the various basic attributes of the mountain rat.

Especially the defense item, which reached an astonishing 93 points!
You must know that his Squirtle only has 65 points!

"It's character! Character actually affects attributes?"

A player next to him immediately noticed the clue.

Everyone looked at the character line and saw the words "increased defense" as expected, and were immediately surprised.

"Since there is a defensive character, then there is also an offensive character, right?"

"It shouldn't be wrong."

"This design is okay, let's develop an awesome character first!"

The emergence of pet characters made them feel as if they had discovered a new world. They ran around in the grasslands and forests with great interest, hoping to catch a few more to increase the initial character for attacks.

Those who follow the defensive school are specifically looking for characters that increase defense.

In this way, when you play against other players in the future, you will have many more key attributes, and your winning rate will be greatly improved.

This news quickly spread among the players, making the already popular area outside Zhenxin Town even more popular.

The players who poured into the game also began to spread out in all directions, taking risks in various towns and areas.

……

"How was it? How many sales did it have in the first week?"

A week goes by in a blink of an eye.

Chen Lin found Lao Song and asked about the sales situation.

"The performance is very good. So far, 1000 million copies have been sold across all platforms, and the virtual version accounts for nearly [-]%!"

Lao Song's voice was a little excited.

Generally, Escort exclusive masterpieces can reach 300 million copies in the first week, which already has the potential of tens of millions, and most of them hover between 100 million and 300 million.

But now.

They broke [-] million in the first week.

After "Red Dead Redemption", "Sword Art Online" and "Minecraft", it has become another game with a sales of [-] million in the first week!

If it was run better.

It’s not impossible to reach 5000 million!
Now he finally believes that Chen Lin's words that this game will become one of the top three IPs in history have really come true.

I'm afraid this mouth has not been opened.

"Don't look at me like that. I just said it casually at that time."

Chen Lin shrugged and changed the topic to one side: "What about escort exclusives for other new platforms? How are sales?"

Old Song glanced at him suspiciously, and then said seriously: "Other platforms are also amazing, because of the popularity of virtual platforms, such as the extremely hard-core "War Machine", Sony's "GT Racing", and Nintendo's "Mario Series" , Penguin's "Old World", basically all have sales of more than 300 million, and several others have sales of more than one million."

"Well, it's definitely a bit more than usual."

With 300 million copies sold in the first week, it is almost considered a masterpiece among the escort masterpieces.

There are only two or three models released every year.

Now there are so many popping up at once, which shows that players are still enthusiastic about the virtual version, otherwise the PC version alone would not be able to achieve this kind of sales.

"It seems they spent a lot of money on this announcement."

"Definitely. After all, it is the early stage of seizing the market. Unlike when Juhard entered the console market, it has been a long time, so it is so difficult."

"In that case, let's start with the next step. We can't let them catch up." "Don't worry, I have arranged for someone to do it."

In order to cope with this competitive frenzy, they have made a lot of preparations, and now it is finally time to take action.

soon.

Below the Honghuang account, a message was sent out that the regional competition will be officially held in two months.

As long as players successfully challenge eight Pokémon Gyms and obtain all challenge badges, they can directly sign up to participate.

In addition to huge bonuses and the title of the strongest trainer, the champions of each national and regional competition will also be eligible to participate in the global competition.

And in the annual global competition.

Determine the strongest Pokémon training master!
This format.

It is not unfamiliar to players who have already watched the anime.

But when the news came out, it still caused an uproar.

Huge bonus!

There is also the title of the strongest trainer!

And in a virtual sports venue, witnessed by countless players, he ascended to the altar!

No matter which one, it has a fatal attraction for them.

Not to mention the e-sports clubs and individual players who make a living from this.

"Well done! I will win the championship this time!"

"After the regional competition, will there be a global competition?"

"It will probably be a battle between dragons and tigers."

"You have to cultivate a few pets in advance."

Two months is enough time for most players.

Because the competition rules will force Pokémon to level 50, you only need to raise the level to above level 50.

The most important thing is the combination of skills and attributes.

There are also choices for the six participating pets, timing of skill use, attribute restraint, etc.

This depends on the player's personal understanding of the game.

"Isn't it just a matter of beating eight gyms? It's easy! Watch me shine in the regional competition!"

in the live room.

Ouyang Xiao, who had just finished the first two gyms, showed off the two badges in her backpack.

"Okay, okay, I know you have two badges."

"How did you do it? I just managed to defeat the Rock Gym yesterday."

"The anchor is online all day long, can you do that?"

"Le, are you the only one who wants to shine?"

"Fast forward to the qualifiers and eliminated directly."

"Don't touch me during the competition, or I'll let you know what it means to be crispy on the outside and tender on the inside."

Barrage after barrage kept passing by.

Many viewers have made an appointment to snipe the anchor together.

Just thinking about that scene is very exciting.

I don’t know what the specific competition system is like. If it is randomly assigned, it will be very difficult to encounter.

But no matter what, it is right to first develop a lineup that can restrain the anchor team.

……

Compared to the excitement of the players.

Major manufacturers appear much calmer.

Except for those companies that have participated in advertising sponsorships, they basically maintain a wait-and-see attitude and dare not make easy judgments on the "Online Sports Games" project of Honghuang.

After all, the virtual industry has just emerged.

There are a lot of things that no one has ever tried.

I don’t even know what is good or bad.

Only an unlisted but powerful manufacturer like Honghuang dares to act like this without worrying about losing money at all.

"How about it? Can this technology be replicated?"

Penguin headquarters, in the technical department.

The senior management responsible for the research and development of virtual technology hired technical personnel.

"I guess it's a bit difficult."

The technical staff said bluntly: "We have already estimated that this kind of large-scale online event has very high requirements on servers and realism. It must reach at least 50% realism, and the server needs to be expanded dozens or hundreds of times."

"Of course, we don't rule out that Honghuang is a small venue that can only accommodate hundreds of thousands of players at the same time."

Although what Honghuang said in the announcement sounds awesome, it is not easy to implement.

Tens of 10 people are online at the same screen, which is already a very exaggerated number.

Servers that are slightly inferior are at risk of crashing directly.

According to Honghuang, it actually wants to move closer to the million or even tens of millions level, and wants to completely replicate the Olympic Stadium. I don’t know if Honghuang is crazy or they are crazy.

I'm afraid it's not a gimmick thrown out for exaggerated publicity.

After all, penguins have done this before.

And while the two were talking.

A burst of hurried footsteps came from a distance.

"Manager, there is new news from Honghuang!"

new news?
The two looked at each other and immediately looked at the person.

"What is it? Come and show it to me!"

"It's a CG, a promotional CG for the virtual sports games!"

The employee's voice was loud and immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Soon, he came to the two of them and handed out the tablet in his hand.

What was playing on it was the promotional CG that Honghuang had just released following the competition announcement.

"when--"

The loud bell rang the moment the man's finger touched the play button.

The originally dark screen suddenly burst into a bright light.

Accompanied by an exciting soundtrack, the perspective also moved to a wide lawn.

The representative characters of various games under the prehistoric brand stand in two rows facing each other, constantly passing and zooming in front of the camera.

Then there are various venue facilities, entrances, walkways...

Finally, the sight rose high into the sky, taking in a panoramic view of the entire lawn.

until this time.

The man's pupils suddenly shrank, staring at the magnificent competition venue and the omnidirectional three-dimensional crystal screen floating above the venue.

Several large golden characters.

Playing back and forth on the screen.
