Chapter 211 Return (Second Update)
After the "Fallen Mecha" competition was terminated, the media that originally received money immediately changed its direction.
Yesterday it was "Bad money drives out good money? Why do junk games exist?", today it has become "Great Game, Great East".
Changing faces does not seem to be a specialty of Chengdu. The American media seems to be better at this. What they said yesterday can be like farting. Even if someone looks into it, they can use the philosophical thought "Yesterday's me is not the same as today's me" to fool them.
In half a month, Fangcheng Studio spent money faster than it burned, but it made money faster than it spent money.
The number of downloads of the game made people jealous, and the game later adopted a free-to-play model with a paid season pass.
The chip also enables an upgrade system, giving players more motivation to grind.
The popularity of the competition also attracted the attention of many sponsors. The broadcasting fees and advertising fees directly recovered the costs, and even made 30% of the profits.
Seeing the company account that had exceeded fifty small goals, Fang Cheng felt like sighing again.
He really doesn't like saving money.
This competition made a lot of money from the United States. When we go back, we have to consider how to spend the money to the maximum extent.
Part of it will be used to build Hope Primary School, and part of it will be used to establish a game incubation foundation.
The audition part of "Qi Ling" has ended, and the elimination round has also been completed. Sixty-four players have entered the finals, and many players are still old faces.
His rivals Xiemenheidao and Liuzi performed steadily and all reached the finals.
And miraculously, the two would only meet in the championship and runner-up finals, which made Fang Cheng discover that there was still a bit of a bond between the two.
Qiu Yu and Eric, whom I knew, actually made it to the finals. Unfortunately, they were eliminated in the first round, but they still received a reward of 50,000 US dollars, and they seemed quite happy.
Unknowingly, this half-month-long carnival finally came to an end.
The employees of Fangcheng Studio have gained a lot of experience in this process, and their knowledge of all aspects of contacts has skyrocketed. After returning home, they can complete the finishing work of "Qi Ling", and then slowly update the game and make adjustments slowly.
After knowing that the winner of the first competition was about to be born, various media began to purchase broadcast rights. The excellent game quality combined with holographic projection technology made the competition particularly enjoyable to watch.
Kirin Industries has also become famous because of this. The new holographic projection equipment is ready to be put into production. Fangcheng Studio, which has a stake, will also gain a lot.
And its main purpose has been achieved. The development route of Druid Entertainment has been interrupted. The next time the other party launches a game, Fangcheng is ready to do it again.
On the last day of the competition, after the semi-finals, the competition finally came to the finals.
In the VR all-in-one machines of both sides, Xiemenhedao and Liuzi moved their wrists, preparing to give each other a fatal blow.
These two people have a natural intuition for controlling mechas. If they are not engaged in their own jobs, they can still achieve results by focusing on playing games.
However, Liuzi has a special liking for comics, and plans to go back to collect materials and recuperate after the competition, and strive to resume publication this year.
The heretic has just graduated from college and has not yet decided what he will do in the future. Most likely, he will be a game merchant in the game to see if he can support himself by playing games.
The prize of five million US dollars is the first pot of gold he plans to win, but it doesn't matter if he can't get it. The runner-up's two million dollars is enough for him.
After checking the all-in-one VR machine and adjusting various equipment, after confirming that there were no problems, the two entered the scene at the same time.
The final will follow a best-of-three-game system. The system will randomly select maps for both sides to duel, and the environmental configuration of the map will have a great impact on each other's battles.
Before the game officially starts, players will have a few minutes to choose after seeing the selected scene. Two people can choose one of the alternative mechas, and guessing what mecha the other party will choose is also part of the game. ring.
While the two were making choices, the commentators Lao Wang and Monkey sat on the commentary table and were ready to start explaining.
Seizing the moment, Lao Wang looked at the screen and said to the monkey on the side: "Chen Liang, you can see that the randomly generated map this time is a city map. City maps are very popular maps, and small drones are very useful on this map. Do you think the two sides will develop in this direction?"
Because he is an insider, Monkey cannot participate, but he can be a commentator and his talents are not wasted.
Looking at the scene on the screen, Monkey nodded and said: "It is very possible that self-destructing drones are a very useful strategy. It would be better if you carry a factory chip with you and secretly arrange a drone center. But heresy His style of play is relatively despicable, so I feel that the opponent may use disguise tactics."
"Are you talking about the despicable tactic of disguising yourself as a tall building and then trying to keep the opponent's bladder from holding it back?"
"Yes, just let him The two of us fell asleep at the venue, and the tactics were not over when we woke up."
"...Suddenly I wanted to beat him up."
"Old Wang, calm down, we are live broadcasting now."
"Oh, I'm sorry. . Let me put it another way, I suddenly want to send him to the hospital to recuperate."
"That's it."
Three minutes later, the selection was over.
What's a bit surprising is that the heretics actually adopted flexible mechas.
The flexible mecha has given up most of its armaments, and the chips chosen are also of the speed-accelerating type.
However, in order to make up for the lack of attack power of flexible mechas, the heretical weapon chose the corrosive dagger. This dagger can corrode the opponent's mecha. The damage in a single shot is not high, but the damage will gradually increase after multiple hits. The final one-shot A burst of massive damage.
From the appearance point of view, this mecha is somewhat slender. The brown paint and armor material make it look like a tree man who has become an elf. I don’t know why he chose this kind of armor.
After staring at the armor of the heretic for a while, the monkey asked in confusion: "Why are there such strange matching methods, various combinations and unnaturalness."
"I read the description of the heretic...this set of mecha Mu Kui 1234 pinched it for him. On such an important occasion, he actually asked NPC to help shape the mecha. It's quite romantic for outsiders." "
I don't think this is a place to show affection. Forget it, let's ignore the outsiders. Look at Liuzi's mecha... What are Liuzi doing?"
Liuzi's mecha is a golden mecha. At a glance, the whole mecha is huge and has a powerful structure. Even the golden mecha shell looks a bit damaged. Eye.
Lao Wang said that the game picked up Liuzi's description: "Oh, it seems that the painting was done with the help of the NPC friend he and the evil heretics have, the goddess of art. Pfft, this thing is not artistic! Is she really the goddess of art? I feel like Children in the first grade of primary school can paint better than her. And who can tell me why there is a spineless hedgehog on the shoulder of his mecha? Why does the hedgehog seem to be glaring at me? No, I am laughing to death. "
After both parties are ready, the countdown begins. As the "3, 2, 1" countdown ends, the most technologically powerful mecha fight at this stage begins.
The heretic changed his usual wretched and despicable style, and after the countdown ended, he took the lead and rushed towards Liu Zi.
The knife glowing with purple light was held in his hand. The fast mecha rushed in front of Liuzi almost instantly, and then struck him with a fierce knife.
His speed was as fast as thunder, but Liu Zi's reaction was not slow either.
He used his shield to block the oncoming knife with his backhand, and Liu Zi's voice came out through the microphone: "Xiemen outsider, this is not all you have. Show me your true ability!"
Liuzi pushed the evil outsider away with all his strength. He rushed towards the opponent and at the same time took out the Gauss sword from his back.
The great sword looks stationary, but its surface is constantly trembling. The high-frequency vibration of the great sword can cut through most mechas in an instant. It is one of the most useful weapons for large-scale attacks.
"Did you see it?"
The evil outsider smiled, and the green paint fell off to the ground, turning into green marks where it dripped, and immediately corroded the surrounding area and turned it into quagmire.
Pulling out the isolation area, the heretic threw the corroded steel needle of the carrier towards Liu Zi. While the opponent was defending with a shield, he rushed forward, jumped over the isolation area and came to Liu Zi. The knife kept cutting on the opponent, leaving behind Corrosive wounds.
Seeing this scene, Lao Wang couldn't help but said: "It's incredible that a heretic has skills!"
"You can't ignore his skills just because he is mean, although I am also quite surprised." Monkey looked at it carefully He said with an unorthodox movement, "After the game, I want to have a fight with the opponent. It should be okay." "
Well... take it easy."
"I will."
After being hit by three swords, Liu Zi began to swing his sword. The evil outsider did not retreat, but jumped up high and stepped directly on the opponent's sword, causing Liu Zi to lose his balance instantly.
The heretic showed a victorious smile, and the two knives stabbed into the previously corroded wound exactly. The traces of corrosion further invaded, corrupting Liuzi's mecha from the inside.
I thought it was over this time, but Liu Zi also smiled.
Directly abandoning his hands, he turned around, kicked, and the hydraulic leg was directly abandoned by him. It turned into a final weapon and kicked the evil disciple from the middle. Then he crushed the opponent's head with one kick, until the evil disciple was completely dead. stop.
Strong cheers rang out, and Liuzi's supporters cheered loudly at this moment, making the atmosphere even more frenzied.
Although he lost a round, it doesn't matter if he is a heretic.
When the rain forest appeared in the second scene, the heretic nodded slightly, despicably chose the existing mecha, and then adjusted all the chips to invisible chips.
Seeing the other party's choice, everyone in the audience secretly said something bad.
Are we going to start the bladder bureau again?
However, heretics seem to know that it is better not to engage in such extravagant activities at this time, and to be honest.
He detected Liuzi's position and began to approach him.
The green mecha almost blended in with the surroundings. The sound of the river was skillfully eliminated by him. The evil sect operating in the swamp made almost no sound. His excellent control ability made even the monkeys nod.
Although Liuzi chose a mecha that was suitable for the rainforest, the evil outsider was more adaptable. When he reacted, the opponent had already approached his position, and then pierced his condensation tube with a knife.
Things became easier after that. Without the condenser tube, Liuzi began to gradually heat up. Although he broke Xiemen's shoulder when he counterattacked, Xiemen instead took the opportunity to retreat and slowly suffocated the opponent to death.
The one-to-one draw brought the game to match point and made the situation even more anxious.
The last scene is the arena. This scene is the most classic and the least dependent on the environment. At this moment, the two chose the mecha they were best at and then came to the arena.
When the countdown ended, they rushed toward each other without hesitation and used their fists to express their power.
Through the holographic projection outside, the audience saw the most exciting fighting feast.
Parts were flying, sparks were jumping, they abandoned some fancy chips, and every chip they chose served the battle.
What’s even more interesting is that their chip configurations are exactly the same.
As the blood volume decreases, the special effects of the chip begin to take effect, and the sizes of both combatants begin to expand, and expand larger and larger as the blood volume decreases.
When the health bar turned red, their size had reached the planet level. The two unparalleled giants began to fight in the galaxy. The passing comets became their weapons. After being captured by the auxiliary chip, they smashed them hard. On the other person's head.
The world-destroying battle made the audience hooked. The fifteen-minute battle was exciting and ended in the failure of the evil sect.
Looking at the evil outsiders on the ground, Liu Zi secretly thought that he was lucky.
If a ray of star light hadn't happened to come out from behind, interfering with the opponent's line of sight, he might not have been able to hit the opponent, and the final outcome would have been difficult to predict.
In order to prevent the heretic from cheating in the end, Liu Zi destroyed the armor of the heretic with all his strength, and did not stop until he heard the referee announcing that the game was over.
The sweaty Liu Zi walked out of the VR all-in-one machine, staggered to the opposite side, and saw the equally exhausted Xiemen coming out.
I originally wanted to say something cruel, but these fifteen minutes used up all Liuzi's energy. After reluctantly shaking hands, I couldn't say a word, which made Liuzi feel very aggrieved.
The two people were exhausted and slumped on the podium, which became a commemorative photo of the first "Qi Ling" competition. It also made Fangcheng Studio confirm that the competition must not be allowed to drag on too long in the future, otherwise the contestants will Too much to take.
Although the competition is over, the distribution of prizes and settlement of subsequent payments also took some time.
After finally returning to Chengdu, the group took a week's rest before continuing to work on the follow-up version of "Qi Ling", striving to allow players to play the story mode that was supposed to be the third mode as soon as possible.
After the story mode came out, Fang Cheng played the game and found that everything was going according to his own ideas.
Looks like it's time to try to achieve enlightenment.
