Chapter 682 Overwhelmed
"The next piece of news comes from the [Hunter] hunting ground outside the metropolis playground."
"But before that—"
Ah Zhen continued to broadcast the news, and the audience had figured out the logic of this episode:
"I know! Commercial time right?!"
"One piece of news and one piece of advertisement, I have never seen such an outrageous thing when I grow up so big!"
"In reality, I have to report you!"
...
Of course, complaining and complaining can't stop the development of the program, and the commercials start playing again——
The format of this advertisement is still very familiar to everyone. It is the same as when Night City was first released. It is also a travel promotional video.
——Fortunately, it’s not something I’ve seen before, but a brand new piece of material.
Because the protagonist of the city promotional video this time is [Virtual Xia Jing].
There are countless players looking forward to the early opening of [Virtual Xiajing].
Even if you ignore overseas users' curiosity about Xia Jing and only consider domestic users, Yunmeng has a full 200 million Xia Jing users. How can you not be interested in the capital of your own country?
Ever since the airship flew over Xia Jing for a glimpse that day, countless people have been looking forward to the completion of this virtual city.
And now, Yunmeng finally announced that [Virtual Xiajing] will open soon!
Starting next week, "traveling to Xiajing" will become an extremely easy task.
When many people saw this news, the first thing they thought of was not themselves, but the elders in the family.
The elders tend to have a stronger desire for the capital than the young.
The opening of [Virtual Xiajing] will provide a "low cost" and "no hassle" way to realize your dreams.
The commercial is over, and we return to the studio again.
This time it was Ah Qiang who broadcast the news:
"The [Hunter] hunting grounds on the outskirts of the metropolis have recently seen a series of vicious serial killings."
"In the past week, eight hunters have died, and the fatal injuries were all caused by sharp weapons."
"Every hunter who died was an experienced, strong, first-class strongman. Judging from the nearby traces, they all fought and fought tenaciously with the enemy in the jungle after being attacked."
"But unfortunately, none of them survived."
"[Hunter] The staff of the hunting ground try to enter the hunting area and capture the mysterious murderer. If they fail to succeed within three days, they will consider issuing a reward to recruit powerful hunters to enter the hunting ground to [pursue] the mysterious murderer."
...
Following Ah Qiang's broadcast, the video materials were also displayed one by one:
The hunted corpses, the bloodstains everywhere, the traces of hunting and fighting in the jungle, the burned and carbonized trees, and——
Some unidentified liquid that has not yet dried up and glows green in the dark.
The camera cuts back to the studio, Ah Zhen added:
"In addition, in the past week, hunters have continuously claimed that they have seen unicorns, centaurs, winged lions and other fantasy animals in the hunting grounds."
"Experts speculate that they may have ingested some kind of hallucinogenic fungus by mistake."
"The program group hereby reminds all viewers: Please don't eat any fungi you don't know."
"That's all for the news about the hunting ground, and then enter an advertisement."
So the ad starts again.
Taking advantage of the director's efforts to cut commercials, the audience began to guess what this news meant:
"Don't ask, the new event of "Hunter: Call of the Wild"!"
"Nonsense, the question is... what activity? Chasing the murderer in the wilderness?"
"It feels like being inspired by a hunting contest, and really started to engage in a hunter war?"
"Is there no clue at all? Or is that green fluorescent liquid a clue? Is the murderer a drug lord? A pharmacist? A chemical expert?"
"I don't understand! I don't understand!"
...
The discussion had just begun, and with the start of the commercial, it quickly subsided.
Because this advertisement is really surprising——
"Fashion Metropolis and Night City, the world's most popular real-time shooting game!"
"The gunfight dream of 300 million players!"
""Battlefield"!"
"Battlefield!"
"A new mode will be launched soon - Extraordinary Battlefield!"
"Super stamina, sensory acceleration, arc bullets, combat induction!"
"Experience the extraordinary battlefield like never before!"
"Join the game now and become a real superhero!"
"What are you waiting for?"
The screen freezes, and two lines of characters jump out——
"December 23
Extraordinary battlefield, see you there! "
The commercial ended, but the audience didn't come back to their senses.
In fact, this advertisement has a lot of slots:
"What do you mean? Not only are we playing "Battlefield", but your NPCs are also playing "Battlefield"?"
"The gunfight dream of 300 million players? I'll go, don't tell me, it's really possible!"
"Is this a spoof? 300 million? How could it be so fast!"
"Extraordinary battlefield? Unprecedented? Never before! What a fart! Have you experienced every kind?"
"Although I have experienced it, it is still very interesting to mix it all together! I really want to play it right away!"
"Wait, this ad should be serious, right?"
...
The barrage was messed up, but the program was not affected.
Ah Qiang calmly continued to broadcast the next piece of news:
"The large-scale seaside park in Night City has been completed and will open soon."
"Whether it is the area occupied or the scale of investment, the seaside park is the largest in recent years."
"To celebrate the opening, the park will unite the three cities of Metropolis, Night City, and Xiajing to organize a large-scale car racing competition across the three cities!"
"Not only are the bonuses extremely generous, but the top three can also get a permanent membership card of Seaside Paradise, which allows them to enjoy the highest standard of courtesy for life."
"There is no threshold for the competition. All residents of the three cities, as long as they own a car, are free to sign up for the competition!"
"The only thing to note is: the event organizer is not responsible for player insurance. All players who are going to participate in the competition are requested to purchase insurance by themselves."
"Finally, the organizer of the event solemnly declares: Participants are strictly prohibited from carrying hot weapons. Once found, they will be confiscated immediately."
...
Before the news was over, the players complained:
"[Once found, confiscated immediately], which means: As long as it is not found, then there is no problem."
"Don't be ridiculous, what are the residents of the three cities? If only NPCs participate in the competition, can Night City destroy the other two?"
"Hot weapons are banned, which means that cold weapons are allowed? This is great! Now [Death Drag Race], who still uses small pistols!"
"My Super Meteor Hammer is already hungry and thirsty!"
...
Keeping the rhythm of one piece of news and one advertisement, the "Metropolis News" is still going on:
"Next, enter an advertisement..."
"The new season of "Light Yu"..."
"[The King of Cards] and [Sparrow God] are in full swing..."
...
...
This issue of "Metropolis News" is undoubtedly the most explosive issue.
The content of the whole activity has been greatly reduced, and it is all big activities to be carried out starting next week.
After the employees' "remonstration" (referring to threatening Lin You in the virtual world: "Boss, if you don't change your name, I'll kill you here!"), Lin You took back the [New Year's Day 7 Days] this soil must be lost The name of scum.
In addition, the new activities of each game are produced with the hard work of each project team. It is a pity that they are only open for one week.
So in the end, the "seven days" was not mentioned again, and they were all pushed out in one go in the name of "New Year's Eve activities".
A large amount of new content made the players overwhelmed, almost screaming with excitement throughout the process.
They didn't realize a serious problem until after watching the whole content and the show ended:
It's only Wednesday.
And all this activity, this new content that keeps them pumping and hungry, won't start until next Monday at the earliest.
In the middle, there are still 4 full days.
Rounded up, it is approximately equal to 12 years.
