Chapter 1018 Is it really on sale? !
"Om-oom-oom--"
The phone keeps vibrating, which is really disturbing my dream.
In his sleep, Ivan Ivanov tried to ignore the sound with the quilt covered, but the vibration of the mobile phone did not intend to stop at all.
Even if the call timed out and was hung up, it would ring again in the next second, continuing to make noise around his head.
Ivan opened his eyes in pain, glanced at the clock on the bed pointing at 5:15 in the morning, and answered the phone in a very bad mood:
"Hello, who is it?"
You better be down to business!
"Dark Souls is out!"
Ivan took the phone away in shock, glanced at the caller, and found that he was a loyal fan of himself, so he tried to soften his tone——
"Hey, did you just connect to the Internet at home?"
"Ah? What do you mean?" The fans were a little confused.
"I knew it two hours ago! It was an April Fool's Day joke. Yunmeng lied, and you fell for it."
"No!" The fans became anxious, "It's true! "Dark Soul" is really released!"
"Ah?" Now Ivan was confused, "When?"
"Just now! 10 minutes ago! I already bought it!" I bought the game and didn't play it, but came to notify Ivan, which shows that this is indeed a true fan.
"!!!" Ivan was very surprised.
"Speed, speed!" The fan voluntarily hung up the phone after finishing speaking, obviously eager to enter the game.
Ivan got up quickly, and ran to turn on the host in his pajamas.
This night, countless players in Europe were woken up by their friends to tell them the outrageous news.
The Americas are better. Although the time difference is ridiculously large, at least it is from the evening to midnight. The party who stays up late is not asleep, so there is no need to go through [waking up in the early morning] - [discovering being cheated] - [sleeping] ——[Woke up again and found out that I was cheated for the second time] The cheating experience.
Players in Brazil, Mexico, and Canada got the news of the release quickly, and excitedly started their new journey.
Because of the Internet's downgrade and blocking of "Yunmeng" related topics, players cannot get this information from the "open" Internet, so the time for them to enter "Dark Soul" is generally several times slower than other countries shoot.
This put them at a disadvantage from the beginning on the road to the first pass of "Dark Soul".
And the fastest responder was still Yunmeng's headquarters - Daxia.
The moment the [Buy] button lit up, a big summer player discovered and bought the game—it was still 500 yuan, the standard price of a masterpiece.
After that, in just two minutes, the news that "Dark Soul" was officially released has blown up all major game forums.
In another minute, it's social networking.
Within 5 minutes, the anchors got the information one after another, and completed all the steps of purchasing, downloading, and rushing into the new game.
——Oh, except for Ah Yi, this old man overslept and still hasn't woken up.
Those players who could only stay at home and play games after taking leave, although they felt it was a waste, ran into the game excitedly.
The evaluation of Lin You has also changed from "not a good person" to "not a good person, but fortunately not bad enough".
And those who obviously asked for leave, but after finding out that Yunmenghuang pointed them out, they said "the illness suddenly recovered", "the second uncle's tumor was misdiagnosed", "my girlfriend/faxiao suddenly cheated before marriage, and the wedding was temporarily cancelled"... Waiting for reasons, the migrant workers who return to work can only watch others start playing new games with envy, and regret at the same time.
The personnel of Zhuifeng Company suddenly ran to the middle of the office when the employees had already entered the working state, and announced loudly:
"The special holiday is in effect! Those who want to take a vacation can get off work now!"
"The time already worked will be included in the overtime hours!"
"Employees who continue to work will be paid overtime on rest days!"
There was instant jubilation in the office——
"Ohhhh!!!"
"The boss is awesome!!"
"Get off work!!"
...
At the same time, the media from all walks of life became busy again.
They never expected that there would be a second episode of this big drama that Yunmeng had created!
And it was only two hours away!
It looked like he was teasing everyone.
——No, considering Lin You's character, it's probably just to amuse everyone...
The workers who couldn't enter the game, and the media who had to compete for popularity and traffic all thought of this silently.
Then the migrant workers rushed to Lin You's comment section and started complaining crazily.
The media continued to write articles, correcting the mistakes in the previous report, and reporting the news of the official release of "Dark Soul".
In this way, the popularity of the previous headlines of "Dark Soul" has not subsided, and the second wave of popularity has continued.
Until then, the "Chang'an" development team released the announcement leisurely, as if they had just come to their senses.
The general idea is: due to unexpected technical problems, the release time of "Dark Soul" had to be postponed for two hours. Now that the problem has been solved, players are welcome to enter the God City Luoyang after the drastic changes, and experience the new gameplay and so on.
But no one believes such outrageous reasons at all.
The comment section likes the first comment, directly: "This [Sudden Technical Difficulty] you are talking about, is his name [Lin You]?"
What's even more coquettish: the official account of "Chang'an" also liked this comment.
Although the likes were later canceled, probably trying to pretend to be a slippery hand, but the fast-eyed players took screenshots and left them as evidence, sending them everywhere, trying to provoke a "Yunmeng civil turmoil".
Unfortunately, the development team has turned its attention to the skyrocketing sales figures.
Lin You and Xiao Meng also turned on the fun-watching mode.
——It is impossible to go to work, not only today, but for the next whole week, Lin You will not go to work.
"Don't go out unless necessary" is his life principle for the next week.
Fortunately, there is enough fun for him and Xiaomeng to see enough——
Players from all over the world flocked to Dark Souls.
Like the internal beta players, everyone's start starts with a letter.
But this time, while the player is reading the letter, one picture after another also appears in front of the players:
Xinxin accepted the sword from her master, and went away alone after saying goodbye to her master.
Outside the divine capital surrounded by magic smoke, a pure white carrier pigeon was released.
In the end, she turned her head and took a deep look at the player, then walked straight into Luoyang City without stopping.
Simple illusions end here.
Next, step on the wind-up airship, go straight to Luoyang City, and start killing!
In the first two chapters of "Chang'an", there are not enough monsters, and there are still NPCs around, and if you are not careful, you will lose merit, so the fighting is always not smooth enough.
But now, looking at the trailer and the demonstration of the real machine, the whole city of Luoyang is full of strange people!
Finally, I can let go of all the burdens and have a great time killing!
While preparing to watch the excitement, the closed beta players also rushed to Luoyang - they failed to complete the main storyline during the closed beta, and now their progress has been cleared, so naturally they are eager to get through the game.
Super Tomato is still thinking about torturing the two crippled bosses, and then revenge Xinxin.
Xia Yi's idea is much simpler——
During the closed beta, she mainly played "Gravity", and "Dark Soul" was just a taste.
How shallow is it?
She has never fought the first boss...
So her only thought now is: I hope the difficulty of the game will be lowered, so that she can rescue her sister smoothly.
——But she still doesn't know that Xinxin has become a soul core...
Not only her, but all the players who came to Luoyang with the mentality of killing, killing, and saving the beauty would never have imagined that Yunmeng would give them a double attack on the two lines of [Difficulty] and [Story] at the same time. Crit!
Toothache and headache, I took a pack of ibuprofen, rest first, everyone take care of your health.
