Conan: Developing business in Kexue World

Chapter 18 The much-anticipated game launch

Kenta was resting in the background, opened Niconico, and saw that the popularity of the live broadcast room had reached 1 million+. It seems that the drainage effect of this press conference is good. After the press conference is over, Niconico should have many more members.

After several months of development, Niconico has been deeply rooted in Nihong with its unique barrage culture.And with the support of capital, Future Video Club has opened branches in every major city of Neon, and station N began to expand its territory.

The live broadcast room on YouTube also has 5000 million popularity.

There is a complex algorithm for the popularity of the live broadcast room. Station N can simply divide it by 100, which is the approximate actual number of people. YouTube's algorithm is different, and only YouTube's parent company knows how many people are actually there.

Looking at the barrage in the Niconico live broadcast room, someone has begun to share their Line account name, looking forward to having an awkward chat with strangers.

Time flies.

3 p.m. exactly.

I saw Yuanzi and Xiaolan were ready.

Kenta took the stage first, "Next, it's the highly anticipated game. I believe many of you here are here for this game. Let's not talk nonsense, please, Suzuki, President of Future Technology Games Co., Ltd. Sonoko, give us an overview of the game."

chirp chirp~
Kenta retreated to the station and turned on the N station live broadcast.

With the spotlight on the stage.

A green elf girl appeared with a one-handed sword in her hand. She appeared in the center of the stage in a heroic manner, and performed a sword dance with a long sword in her hand.

"おおおおおおお" (oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh!) suddenly appeared on the barrage.

Suddenly, a yellow figure sprang out from the darkness behind him, holding a dagger, and wiped the elf's neck, the elf's body softened, and fell at the catwoman's feet.

On the barrage is another piece of "ええええええ" (嘻嘿嘿嘿嘿嘿!).

After a while, all the lights in the venue were turned on.

The elf and the catgirl stood in front of the podium together.

Sonoko spoke first, "I am the president of the Future Technology Game Club, Suzuki Sonoko. This is the costume designer in the game, Mao Lilan. The costumes on the two of us are the basic costumes of the cat monsters and elves in the game, from our Mao Lilan, a talented designer."

Xiaolan said: "Hello everyone, I am Mao Lilan. I am mainly responsible for the costume design of fantasy races."

As the camera zoomed in, a close-up of the two appeared on the screen.Sonoko painted a cat girl costume, an orange cat with a tail dangling behind her.Xiaolan is an elf swordsman, with a one-handed sword slung across her waist, and a green gauze fluttering in the wind.

As expected of neon, otaku culture prevails.There was a lot of applause at the venue and online.

The camera swept across the audience, Shinichi and Mori Kogoro in the auditorium, with funny expressions on their faces, admiring but not wanting others to see.

cough~
Yuanzi coughed lightly, pulled back everyone's minds, and began to introduce the overview of the game.

"Sword Art Online, referred to as 'SAO'. A virtual reality massively multiplayer online role-playing game with full stealth technology, VRMMORPG.

It allows people to completely shuttle into the imaginary space of the virtual world. In this world, players have complete five senses, sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch, and can experience a different world that is different from others.

The stage of the game is the floating city 'Aincrad' built of rock and steel. It has 100 floors, and each floor is garrisoned by a Boss.

There is no magic in this world, but players can choose some fantasy races.

This is the world of knives and swords. The player's task is to break through the 100th floor and clear the Boss at the end of the level. The first team to reach it will get a mysterious gift. "

Yuanzi paused for a while, Xiaolan left, and then entered the next session.

"Next, please watch a promotional video of Aincrad."

The projector starts to play the picture.

With the sound of a crossing field burning to the point of explosion, a floating city floated above the blue sky and white clouds.The camera gradually advances, and Aincrad in the picture gradually zooms in.The camera passes through the outer iron sheet, through the layers of woods, and arrives at the town of the beginning, which is the largest central city on the first layer of Aincrad.The city as a whole has a circular shape, with a huge square in the center, where players are born.

The camera moves out, and a large number of monsters appear in the wild, such as kobolds, goblins, and slimes, each posing vicious posses.Continue to go deep into the labyrinth area, skeleton soldiers, lizardmen, and finally came to the Boss room, the big-bellied kobold lord appeared, holding a shield in one hand, an ax in the other, and a wild sword on his waist. Standing still, there is a fierce look Breath, not to mention what will happen when you move.

Then the camera goes up and passes through layers of ground, during which there are colorful flower seas, tranquil lakes, icy snowfields, and endless deserts.Finally, stop at the top of the 100-story red tower.

A line of large characters appeared: Sword Art Online, global public beta on September 9!
The video ends.

"So, just as the video said. Tomorrow, at 9 o'clock on September 1st, Sword Art Online will be officially tested. Players are welcome to look forward to it." Sonoko bowed and stepped off the stage.

Kenta who was in the background came up to meet her, and Sonoko flew into Kenta's arms.

"I was so nervous, it was the first time I spoke in front of so many people."

"Great work, Sonoko. Our game will definitely be a big success. You rest first, and I will come to the stage to announce the details of the game."

Kenta came on stage again: "After watching the video just now, some people may doubt the authenticity of the promotion. It doesn't matter, there are 50 gaming headsets on site, and you can come up to experience it later, and each person is limited to 10 minutes.

This game has three major servers, the US server, the Asian server, and the European server.

It is a pity that some countries and regions are not included in the global public beta list due to production capacity and policy reasons. Please check the official website for details.If players really want to play, go to the governments of various countries to petition.

Although it is a global public beta, but limited by production capacity, the time will vary.

The game helmet reserved on the official website has been sent out, and it is expected to arrive in everyone's hands tomorrow.The first batch of gaming helmets are available in the flagship stores of the 7-11 chain stores in major cities.

above.The meeting is over, the experience server will be open until 7:[-] pm, please pay attention. "

The 7-11 chain store is controlled by the Suzuki consortium and spreads all over the city, with more than 2 stores and more than 1000 flagship stores.In foreign countries, 7-11 also has huge stores.The future game company has only been established for less than half a year, and the channels have not yet been rolled out. This time, the games are released through the channels of the Suzuki consortium.

Kenta stepped off the stage, and the crowd began to line up for the gaming helmets.

In the audience, Thomas Syndra, the president of Syndra, the development company of "Cocoon", was also queuing up, but his face was not good, and he questioned his subordinates with a livid face.

"What's going on, don't you guys just eat dry food? It's been more than a year, why can't 'Cocoon' be completed? They have only just obtained the nerve reading technology for a few months, why can the game be completed so quickly. It was snatched by SAO Do you know how much I will lose?"

"Someone has been making trouble for our company. The Baker Street, which was just built last month, was hacked and the information was deleted." The subordinates are also very wronged. My side is always taken care of by hackers, and even gods can't save it.

Soon, the Syndra experience ended.

"Why is Future Company's helmet so much better than our game cabin? Why didn't you find out the source of the technology in advance, idiot." Syndra was already confused, and the game cabin technology was not as advanced as Future Company.And the helmet technology released today, where can I ask my subordinates to find out.
