"But then again, in fact, the atmosphere of the class I led was not much worse than that guy. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info If you want to say that it feels different, I guess it's mainly because that guy is in junior high school, and I'm in high school and it's also a graduating class, right? Well, I won't lose to that gangster in terms of level, or you transfer to our school, let you experience it for yourself and see who is better between me and that kid?"

Levi looked up at the sky with his hands on his chest, with a very serious and determined expression. Shino, who was still a little unhappy, was finally amused by his appearance. The girl snorted softly, and though she quickly covered her mouth with something she pretended to arrange her scarf, the crooked crescent-like eyes betrayed her.

"Well, I don't know if I want to think about it slowly in the future. By the way, I just wanted to ask you, those advertisements on the billboards around here seem to be brands that exist in reality?"

Levi pointed to the rest of the colorful windows in mid-air, except for the most conspicuous holographic screen of the third BOB competition. Yesterday, Levy entered the game for the first time, and his attention was focused on how to play the game, and he didn't pay attention to the billboards and neon signs on the street. I don't know if it's the consistent style in GGO, or even those big companies in reality feel that the BOB contest is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and seize the opportunity to run into the game to advertise. It's like they spend money crazy every time they have a big sports event, such as the Olympics and the World Cup, to buy a few tens of seconds of advertising time at most a minute or two.

"yes, what's the matter, I haven't seen it before, and that's one of the major features of GGO. ”

Lévi found such a good opportunity for Shinon, and she naturally didn't let it go but smiled happily. Shino followed Levi and looked up at the sky, and her uncontrollable smile turned into a smile when she talked to Levi about the 'original' feature of GGO.

"If there were advertisements for real-world companies like this in other games, there would definitely be a lot of players who would be dissatisfied, and they would probably shout 'the worldview has been destroyed' or something like that, and go to the game's GM to complain and protest. ”

Levi nodded, even though GGO was the first VR game he played, he didn't know what it was like in other VR games. However, this kind of advertising placement in games and other works is undoubtedly a topic that has been debated for many years.

At the beginning, it was the TV series and movies that were most accessible to the general public, and Levi still remembers that in the past few years, many people would criticize the filmmakers for their desire for profit because a certain brand logo in the footage of the film was a little abrupt. But it is said that human beings have a particularly strong ability to adapt to the environment, which is true, in the past two years, Levy has heard and seen less criticism of the film's product placement, except for some very few films that are indeed a little too frustrated, and most viewers have become accustomed to the clear picture of the brand logo in the film in a less important transition plot. As long as it doesn't affect the mood of watching the film, everyone often lets it go.

This is the case in the game, and Levi has heard of it for the first time. Like Shino said, the kind of player's anger Levi can understand. Most popular VR games are set in a fantasy style, and in a world full of fairy tales or myths, the beautiful elven tree house is abruptly hung with the sign of a large fast-food chain in the world, which will indeed make people feel as if they have eaten expired and spoiled food, and they will feel uncomfortable psychologically and physically, and it is natural to protest.

"But in GGO, this kind of ad actually seems to fit quite well. Isn't that what many sci-fi movies look like, with eerie decadent metropolises and bright, somewhat glaring neon billboards. ”

Indeed, as Shino said, Levi has not seen too many sci-fi films, but he also remembers a lot of scenes like this appearing in the film.

"And those players who enjoy the game are not the mainstream in GGO in the first place, even if they are not professional players who just want to make money, most of the players who will stay in GGO for a long time are the kind of players who are more concerned about whether their PK can win others. Players here don't care as much about the scenery and atmosphere as they do in fantastic-looking games, and many people who have been playing in GGO for a year or two may not remember the buildings in these cities. These cities are just a supply point for them, and when they come back to refill the medicine items, they will leave immediately to continue going to the maze or pking with other players. ”

Shino seemed to mean that he was one of those players, but Levi didn't think so. At least it's clear that Shino is very familiar with what she calls a city that is just a supply point. This isn't the kind of familiarity of the pros who don't care about everything around them in the game, and when she showed Levi the way yesterday, Shino was able to casually name the purpose and some of the names of the buildings that Levi saw along the way. This shows that when there was no maze to raid the maze, the girl had been in the city for a long time more than once or twice.

"That's the list of players for the game later?"

Lévi and Shino slowly walked through the crowd to the front of the presidential palace, and the names of thirty players were typed on the huge display window above the door, and Levi glanced at them to find himself and the name of the girl next to him. If it weren't for the timing of Izumi's request for Levi to come to GGO, if he had missed or signed up for the competition in advance, then the name on it would still be 'Kirito', who was once very well-known in the past and even in the entire VR game circle.

The black-haired boy that Levi encountered in the pre-qualifier final yesterday, if he didn't meet Levi, even if it was the girl next to Levi, maybe he wouldn't be able to stop the teenager from entering the main competition. The abnormal battle in the qualifier finals couldn't fully judge Shino's strength, but judging by what he showed in that game, Levi felt that Shino might not be Kirito's opponent.

Well, now, Kirito's name is missing from the main tournament list. That kid can't get famous quickly during the BOB tournament, at least during the time of the Bob Tournament, which means that the chance of being targeted by [Death-gun] is very low. Let's just say that Levy's efforts to compete in time were not in vain.

"The list that appears here at this time, isn't it a contestant or can it be? The game hasn't started yet, and the names of those players who bet money can't be published here, it can't be the top 30 players with the most bets, that's someone else's personal privacy. ”
