Game Design: Is that okay, CaiGou?

Chapter 162 Immortal Hanbei: You’re welcome, I’m used to pain (please subscribe)

In the game voting rankings on the first day of the Star Cup competition, Taipingdao's "Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice" won first place with more than 82 votes.

In the next few days, not only the Xingchen Cup offline exhibition hall conference, but also Sagittarius, where Taipingdao is located, was extremely popular with huge crowds of people.

Even on major online game platforms, the sales of "Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice" have made great strides, and sales are rising steadily.

And this is even before Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is released on the Penguin gaming platform.

During the Star Cup competition, feel free to click on the major live broadcast platforms to view the anchor live broadcast room in any game area.

Except for some anchors who had to live broadcast other Star Cup games because they had to live broadcast due to commercial orders, most anchors chose to live broadcast "Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice" during this period.

In the entire game area, the sound of cyber hammering could be heard one after another. The difficult journey made every anchor's blood pressure soar but they were still very satisfied.

Taiping Road, Inc.

Zhu Ping'an sat on the sofa and looked at Cai Gou across from him, skillfully using various tea sets to make a simple Kung Fu tea.

Cai Gou picked up a cup of tea and handed it to Zhu Pingan: "Uncle Emperor, try it and see how it tastes!"

After the two chatted casually for a while, Zhu Pingan took out a document and reported:

In this way, there is no doubt that it will bring greater variables to the game festival, making the entire game more exciting and enjoyable to watch.

Game manufacturers don't need to reason with players, sometimes unexpected surprises are the answer.

……

"And we have obtained more than 3 million voting data, and we have a gap of 500,000 votes between us and the second place in the rankings."

From the College Student Game Festival to the Star Cup competition, even if the specifications are different, the time is different, and the influence is different, the organizers always like to come up with something like this.

Upon seeing this, Cai Gou nodded with great satisfaction:

"That's right, the monk is still guarding the exhibition hall and the conference. There should be nothing wrong next, right?"

Thunderbolt, thunderbolt, game area.

"Yeah... After all, the Star Cup is held only every four years. Who knows what tricks they might hide?" Zhu Pingan leaned forward and asked:

"Brother Dog, do you have any ideas?"

Zhu Ping'an saw Cai Gou's words and thought that he had never made a mistake along the way. He nodded immediately and said:

It is almost a common practice of major game festivals to allow game manufacturers to carry out a wave of updates or activities in the middle of the game festival competition.

"According to what you mean, Brother Gou, the only opportunity for our Star Cup to hold an event is to develop a bear-infested MOD for "Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice"?"

"The game sales of "Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice" in the past three days have exceeded 2.6 million copies, and the peak number of people online at the same time is 1.8 million."

Taipingdao, now a popular game manufacturer in the gaming industry, took the initiative to come to the door this time. After the animation company learned about the reason for the cooperation, although they were a little confused, they still agreed due to the influence of the Star Cup and Taipingdao.

"Okay, I'll go right away!"

After hearing this, Cai Gou shook his head and said:

"It's too regular. No wonder you don't feel confident about it."

"But none of the plans I made before seem to work..."

After receiving the authorization, the bear-infested MOD for "Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice" was intensively produced.

As soon as the question came out, Cai Gou's eyes rolled, and after a while he smiled and said:

"The compatibility between the two is not too bad, right?"

"In this case, you go contact the copyright company of Haunted Bear. I heard that their company wants to release a big summer movie this year. We will promote Haunted Bear and he authorizes us to use the characters of Haunted Bear."

"Tell me about some of your previous plans?"

After receiving Cai Gou's affirmative answer, Zhu Ping'an said in confusion:

Cai Gou naturally knew that before the results came out, anyone who knew about this would be filled with disbelief.

Although this is not scientific, it is very game!

After all, he saw how popular Zhiqiang literature was in his previous life.

Wang Laoju is currently broadcasting "Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice", but his progress is relatively slow, and he is still doing preparations before fighting the Red Ghost.

"Have it!"

"Hey." Zhu Ping'an explained:

"This Star Cup competition lasts for half a month. On the eighth day, major game manufacturers can conduct a wave of version updates or activities."

This is so unscientific!

"Forehead……"

"Go and do it!" Cai Gou stood up and patted Zhu Ping'an on the shoulder:

Zhu Pingan agreed and explained his plan in detail. It was nothing more than holding a racing competition or organizing a reward event.

After all, it is unrealistic to update the version of "Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice" in a short period of time.

When Zhu Ping'an heard this, the expression on his face was slightly unnatural and a little ashamed.

"Ah?" Zhu Pingan was completely confused by Cai Gou's suggestion and asked:

"Brother Dog, the bear you are talking about is not from the anime, is it?"

The game sales and voting data of "Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice" are among the best among the five Star Cup competitions held in the past two decades.

Zhu Pingan took the tea cup, took a sip and said with a smile: "I drink tea just like a cow chewing peonies, how can I taste anything."

"Bear Infestation will surprise you and me!"

When Cai Gou heard this, he frowned slightly and said:

Cai Gou saw Zhu Pingan's expression, patted his thigh and joked:

"What's wrong with mother-in-law and mother-in-law? If you have anything to say, just say it directly?"

But the facts prove——

"The bitter journey begins!"

"Wang Laoju, rise up!"

"Chigui: Just call me Wang Laoju?"

In the live broadcast room, netizens posted barrages and talked about how to strengthen Wang Laoju.

Wang Laoju replied casually to her friend, chatting and finishing upgrading her skills.

Wang Laoju ran all the way to a Buddhist niche.

Amidst the snowflakes in the sky, a haggard-looking warrior with a long sword on his waist was sitting cross-legged next to the Buddhist altar. He was none other than the Immortal Hanbei.

When he saw Wang Laoju coming, he stood up and asked:

"Huh? Have you never met your Excellency before?"

"Um...you can't give me your name, can you?"

"But it seems that you are a really capable ninja. If it's a ninja's move... maybe..."

"Well... Your Excellency! Please be sure to compare notes with me!"

This warrior's appearance is no different from that of a soldier, and his role is only to accompany players in training, allowing players to further master combat skills. Wang Laoju didn't pay too much attention and directly drew his sword to fight with him. In just a few rounds, he killed the immortal Hanbingwei.

Unexpectedly, after a while, the already dead Immortal Hanbei stood up staggeringly and said in annoyance:

"Well... after all, I still can't die!"

Wang Laoju wondered: "Can't you die? Don't you want to kill Hanbingwei? And you just want to die?"

"interesting!"

After the broadcast ended that day, although Wang Laoju defeated the red ghost, the figure of the undead Hanbingwei still echoed in his mind.

"Taipingdao...plot..."

Wang Laoju once again thought that "Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice" is Taipingdao's first game that focuses more on plot than hard-core operations.

"Then...could it be that...behind this little character, the undead Hanbei, there is also a story that is touching enough to go with wine?"

Thinking of this, Wang Laoju suddenly lost her sleepiness.

After sorting out the information about the immortal Hanbei, Wang Laoju felt the charm of a little person from him, immediately started the live broadcast, and changed the title of the live broadcast room to——

[Immortal Hanbei: You're welcome, I'm already used to pain]

Wang Laoju's loyal fans flocked to the live broadcast room.

"Okay, dear audience friends, hello everyone, welcome to the personal plot explanation video of "Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice" brought by Wang Laoju!"

After Wang Laoju finished her classic opening remarks, the character modeling image of the undead Hanbei appeared on the screen.

The Immortal Hanbei is a warrior wearing shabby armor. His face is carved with deep wrinkles, showing the traces of time, and his eyes are full of numbness and despair. The sword he was wearing was worn out.

Not to mention this image compared to the BOSS monster, even the modeling of the elite monster is much better than that of the undead Hanbei. No matter how you look at it, he is just an ordinary samurai on the battlefield.

"Damn, what about the plot commentary video? Wang Laoju is not the first, but she is the first to explain the immortal Hanbei!"

"No...who is the Immortal Hanbei? Why don't I remember it? It shouldn't be a BOSS monster, right?"

"The undead Hanbei upstairs is not only not a BOSS monster, he's not even an elite monster..."

Water friends were discussing it enthusiastically, and more and more people were online in the live broadcast room.

Wang Laoju said: "Everyone, how much pain can you see in the eyes of the immortal Hanbingwei?"

"The Immortal Hanbei, a character modeled like an ordinary soldier. In Ashina Country, where there are many people pursuing immortality, he is the only one who wants to die. When the player first meets him, the Immortal Hanbei I hope to compete with us in martial arts."

"But after we killed him, he was able to resurrect. It turned out that just like the name of the undead Hanbei, the undead insects in his body gave him the ability to die. Even if he was split in half, he could still survive resurrection."

"He sees the wolf with a sad face, and hopes that the player can swing a knife at him to forget his troubles."

[This body cannot die, so you can chop it no matter how you do it]

"But although the undead bugs can make people immortal, the physical pain is still clear, but the undead Hanbei doesn't care about this pain."

"When the player thanks him, he will say -"

[Hahaha, you’re welcome, I’m already used to pain]

Under Wang Laoju's eloquent narration, the water friends were gradually attracted, and one by one they were immersed in the story of the immortal Hanbingwei.

"Damn, that's interesting!"

"No, does the Immortal Hanbei really have a storyline?"

"Tsk tsk, tell me quickly, I want to see it!"

And as Wang Laoju tells it, the story of the immortal Hanbei's life is also revealed to the players.

During the Warring States Period in Japan, Hanbei was abandoned by his family and was about to starve to death just to have fewer mouths to eat. Just when he thought he was about to be freed, a monk put an undead insect into his body.

From then on, he gained immortality and could only continue to live in the world.

For the countless days that followed, he wandered like a zombie. During this period, in order to kill time, he worked hard to practice a set of exquisite sword skills, but he could not find a reason to wield the sword.

Until one day, he met the general Tamura while wandering. Hanbei's ability to survive was quickly appreciated by Tamura. From this, he had a reason to wield the sword and found the faith to live.

But the good times didn't last long. Even though Tamura was tall and had superb martial arts skills, he encountered the more powerful swordsman Ashina Isshin, who had the ability to split earth and open borders. He was mercilessly killed after a few rounds of fighting.

Even though Hanbei tried his best and wounded Ashina's famous general Takahiro Akika with a sword, the general Tamura was beheaded. As a subordinate, he should have committed hara-kiri, but due to his immortality, he had no choice but to fight with Ashina. He always said that he had a low body and could not obey his orders.

After a battle, Hanbei was cut in half by Isshin Ashina using Ichimonji.

But even so, he was resurrected on a battlefield littered with corpses not long after, but this time the light in his eyes went out. Having lost his master, he was once again homeless like a bereaved dog.

After countless days of walking like a zombie, when he passed a village, he was mistaken for a robber and was attacked by a young man Masakichi. Hanbei did not resist and allowed the long knife to chop at him.

Masaki's sister Ling noticed something strange and quickly stopped him and took him home to heal. The warm hospitality of Masaki's family made him feel the warmth he had not seen for a long time.

At this moment, the village was attacked by wild samurai.

Hanbei once again had a reason to wield his sword, and arrived in time when Masaki's life was hanging by a thread. Although he suffered multiple fatal injuries in the battle, with the blessing of his immortal body, he finally drove back the robbers, but because of this Revealed his identity as an immortal.

After being persuaded by Suzu and others, Hanbei stayed in the village.

If he followed Tamura to plunder, then he stayed with the Suzu family for protection. The kind-hearted Suzu treated him like a family member.

But misfortune always seems to be staring at the poor man. The village he is in happens to be the territory of the Takamine family. The patriarch is Takamine Hirakika, whom Hanbei once wounded. In order to develop the power of immortality, Takamine arbitrarily arrested villagers from nearby villages.

Despite creating a monster like a red ghost, Takamine was still not satisfied and focused on Hanbei. In order to lure him to the bait, Takamine and others kidnapped Suzu. In order to protect the one he loved, Hanbei went there alone. Peak Mansion.

Masakichi got the news and rushed to the Hongmen Banquet with him. The battle was extremely dangerous. Even the immortal Hanbei was almost cut off from the undead insects in his body. Thanks to Masakichi, he sacrificed his life to save the danger, but Masakichi was there. Die in this battle.

Before he died, he hoped that Hanbei would find and take care of his sister Suzu, but Suzu had already been transformed into a red-eyed monster. Seeing Suzu's miserable appearance, Hanbei turned around and put on a mask, and personally freed the monster that regarded him as a monster. Father's woman.

At this point, Hanbei lost everything again.

After several wanderings, Hanbei finally settled in the ruined temple where the Buddhist sculptor lived.

I don't know how long it took, but he met the Wolf Ninja who also lost everything. When the Wolf got the Immortal Slash, he went to find him. Under Hanbei's strong pleading, the Wolf finally used the Immortal Slash to end his tragic life.

The pain of not being able to protect the ones you love.

The regret of not being able to follow the master and die.

Finally relieved at this moment.

"Farewell, Hanbei!"
