Chapter 400 Metropolis News·Night City Special!
The beginning of the special program was not in the studio.
Players expressed a stable state of mind.
The production team of the show will start to do the work at every turn, and the beginning of the show is the hardest hit area of the work, and everyone has long been used to it.
[Night City Business Trip Diary 01]
Ah Zhen and Ah Qiang sat on the edge of the church, watching the priest preach the scriptures with a solemn face.
Ah Qiang touched Ah Zhen with his knee, and said in a low voice: "Am I right? I can tell at a glance, this place is definitely worth visiting!"
"Shut up!" Ah Zhen also replied in a low voice: "Be careful of being kicked out."
But Ah Qiang didn't take it seriously, and still looked around with his head probed.
Until he saw a man in a black overcoat with a beard, who was not easy to mess with at first glance, entered the church, and went straight to the priest without saying a word.
Ah Qiang couldn't help touching Ah Zhen again, "Jenny, look at that person..."
As soon as he pointed his finger, he saw someone coming and took out a large gun with a length of one meter from his coat!
Then without saying a word, he shot directly at the crowd!
At the same time, the people in the entire church who were originally peaceful and pious believers all rushed towards the man who shot like crazy!
"God!" Ah Qiang immediately pulled Jenny to the ground, and ran away from the crowd while holding his head, and kept saying, "God, help me, I'm right under your nose!"
"You saved my life, and tomorrow I will buy your indulgence."
"As long as I survive, I will never run around again, let alone travel, and I will never leave the hotel!"
Beside panicked Ah Qiang, Ah Zhen didn't see any panic on her face, she just looked at the crazy chaotic battle behind her with a blank expression.
[Night City Business Trip Diary 02]
There were still dense gunshots in the background, and the gunshots were very close, almost in the ear.
Ah Zhen and Ah Qiang stayed in the same room, Ah Qiang was very disturbed: "I knew it, we shouldn't book a room here!"
Just like in the church before, Ah Zhen still said calmly: "Anyway, the company will reimburse you, so of course you have to come to the most expensive and luxurious place, and enjoy yourself."
"Luxury is luxurious, but you have to figure it out, this is the casino below! Is it safe?!" Ah Qiang was a little flustered, "Listen to the gunshots outside!"
As Aqiang said, he carefully opened the window a crack and looked down at the street below.
An astonishingly intense melee was taking place on the street. Countless people were shooting wildly with guns, and people died violently every minute.
What's even more outrageous is that the next moment, a pickup truck carrying two outlaws rushed into the battlefield, shooting everyone indiscriminately!
"A bunch of lunatics!" Ah Qiang complained in a low voice.
...
"I'm going, isn't this me?" A Yi exclaimed, "This is, the casino fight the night before yesterday?"
Although the angle of view has changed, many players immediately realized that this was the battle from the day before yesterday, and the barrage instantly became very lively:
"Hahaha, Ah Qiang was there that day, it's outrageous!"
"Is that how NPCs see us?"
"Why are these two in the same room? Did they get together?"
...
[Night City Business Trip Diary 03]
A-Zhen and A-Qiang obviously changed their residences, but there were still violent "bang bang bang" gunshots outside the window.
Ah Qiang held the gun tightly in his hand and looked out the window nervously, "Didn't it mean that this Continental Hotel hasn't had any shootings or even fights for decades?"
"Why is there a fight here as soon as we come?"
"Who knows?" Ah Zhen cut her nails calmly, "Maybe it's because of you? Because you are a broom star, where do you go and where do you mess up?"
"How is it possible!" A Qiang shook his head again and again, looking out the window nervously.
Not far from the window, players from different factions gathered around the temporary resurrection point, fighting with guns and hand-to-hand combat.
...
"Fuck! It's me again??" A Yi was a little bit pained, "How about such a coincidence?"
The live broadcast room was already full of laughter.
There are also many players who have participated in the two melees, and they can't help but play the video at 0.25x speed, trying to find themselves from the crowd.
The camera cut again, and the two finally arrived in the studio dressed in formal attire.
Netizens finally put away their gloating mood and are ready to watch the feature film.
"Hello, viewers, welcome to "Metropolis News Night City Special"! I'm Jenny."
"I'm Johnny." Ah Qiang had dark circles under his eyes, and he looked like he hadn't recovered, and he didn't have the energy to tease Ah Zhen when he saw an opportunity.
Jenny also witnessed three large-scale gun battles for three consecutive days, but her state was not affected in the slightest.
"It has been a week since Metropolis and Night City opened to traffic."
"We are delighted to see that a large number of metropolitan residents have come to Night City one after another, and have adapted and integrated into the life of Night City very smoothly."
"Their existence not only builds a bridge between the two cities, but also contributes to the prosperity of Night City."
Countless bullet screens flowed across the screen in an instant: "Thriving!"
Ah Qiang interjected with a little gloom: "It's too good to blend in. Whether it's the firepower of the weapons or the scale of the gun battle, it has become extremely terrifying."
"After we came to Night City, we were also moved by the simple folk customs of Night City, and understood why everyone is so keen to live here." Zhen was not moved.
"That's simply too simple. There's a gunfight happening on the street, so it's fine if you don't dodge it, and you're screaming and rushing up. It's really a life-threatening." The enthusiastic participation of the residents of Night City obviously opened Ah Qiang's eyes. .
Jenny was used to Johnny's interruptions, so she pretended she didn't hear it, and continued without changing her expression:
"During this week, 17 million permanent residents of the Metropolis have moved to Night City. We can understand everyone's curiosity and love for Night City, but please don't forget the Metropolis. If you have time, you can go home and visit it. "
Immediately in the barrage, some netizens translated for the audience: "The number of Metropolis players online plummeted by 17 million, and they all moved to Night City. It's terrible!"
"Next, let's pay attention to the situation of the Metropolitan Indiscriminate Comprehensive Athletic Competition." A Zhen looked down at the script in her hand.
"What kind of event is that?" Aqiang asked confusedly, "Why don't I know?"
Jenny interrupted the broadcast on a rare occasion, and looked at Johnny and said softly: "You don't need to care about this, don't worry too much."
The show also uncharacteristically inserted a close-up of Jenny's facial expression, which was an extremely complicated look.
Ah Qiang was full of question marks, but Ah Zhen continued to broadcast: "At 10:30 last night, the four teams that successfully entered the semi-finals have been successfully decided, and the semi-finals will also start at 6:00 tonight."
"Tomorrow night at the same time, the two teams that won the semi-finals will compete for the final championship. Friends who like competitions, don't miss it."
Ah Zhen's performance made the players a little confused.
"What does this mean? Does she know that her world is virtual?"
"NPC awakening?"
"In the previous Night City Diary, Jenny kept her face the whole time because she knew nothing would happen?"
"A special character set up by Yunmeng, right? Very thoughtful!"
...
And Ah Zhen's outrageous performance continued——
"The honorary citizen of the metropolis will be officially renamed as the [Honorary Player] title. At the same time, the title will be officially opened. A group of people will receive this title every month. Next, let's take a look at the title winners in November list."
The screen was divided directly, and the honorary player list of "John Wick" took the center position without hesitation.
"Journey", "Light Yu", "Paradise", and "League of Assassins" respectively occupy four corners, and the area is much smaller.
The names are quickly passed by, and behind the nicknames are the simple reasons for being selected.
The names scrolled faster and faster, and all of them were flashed in just five seconds, and the camera returned to the studio again.
——The program just told everyone that there was such a thing. The official list will give a link in the comment area, and the selected players will also receive separate emails.
This information is actually very important, it is a plan to keep the game active for a long time, and Lin You attaches great importance to it.
But he is also very clear that compared to Yunmeng's current hundreds of millions of users, hundreds of players are selected every month, which is not even counted as sprinkling water.
So at least for now, the selected players will be extremely excited.
Most of the ordinary players are definitely not very interested, at most they just take a look at it.
Therefore, Yunmeng didn't make long speeches on the show, doing such annoying things.
——This kind of annoying thing, the game media and up owners will naturally jump out and explain it to the players.
Hmm, I wonder if Super Tomatoes are interested?
His recent video production efficiency is getting lower and lower...
Low output is not a problem, the problem is that his fans all blamed Yunmeng and Lin You, which made Lin You a bit unacceptable, and usually always wanted to find something for Super Tomato to do.
Of course, even so, many people can clearly see the first name on the honorary player list of "Quick Chase" at a glance——
[Cheng Lin] (The world's first pass through the main line of the game, the killer ranks first)
The final winner of the Great Xia Izumo Speedrunning Battle did not finally appear in front of the players until this time.
"Can you tell me something about my manuscript??" Ah Qiang flipped through the manuscript in his hand in a daze, but he didn't see what Ah Zhen said.
"Then, next is the Night City News Flash." Ah Zhen obediently changed the topic.
"In the past week, Night City welcomed 32 million new residents."
"At the same time, there were more than 1.67 billion small-scale gun battles and more than 328 million large-scale gun battles." A Qiang immediately followed.
"The night before yesterday, the Paradise Hotel Casino was robbed by gangsters, and tens of millions worth of cash were burned."
"The next day, the cash transport truck of the casino was robbed again by gangsters and other unknown armed forces. None of the escorts survived, and the whereabouts of 20 million cash was unknown."
"To this end, casinos are recruiting a large number of security guards and expanding their armed forces, which is a disturbing trend."
"Yesterday, the Continental Hotel in Night City, known for its safety, encountered an unprecedented shooting incident, breaking its 45-year record of no shooting incidents, and lost the title of [Night City Gun-free Demonstration Hotel]."
"Night City Ring Auditorium is undergoing a comprehensive equipment upgrade. It is estimated that the equipment will be upgraded in three days. During the upgrade process, the normal opening will not be affected."
"The number of registrations for the Indiscriminate Death Racing Contest has soared. The organizer plans to officially start the competition on Sunday night. Participants are requested to pay attention to schedule and not to be late."
"It is understood that a mysterious guest will also appear in the drag racing competition and compete with all the contestants. Please be mentally prepared."
