Heron Island, the bee garden, is another rainy day.

Through a curtain of rain woven through countless thin threads, the white shuttle truck approaches an egg-shaped building and stops precisely under the porch.

This is a newly built comprehensive game center, with VR space and more than 20 multi-function halls, which can provide a variety of game entertainment projects such as PC, console, arcade, board game running group, holographic military chess, etc. Because of the abundant projects and advanced facilities, everyone quickly liked this place, with a steady flow of 3,000 people on weekdays and more than 10,000 on weekends.

Pushing the door and getting out of the car, seeing that people were coming and going, Atletico Madrid nodded secretly in his heart and quietly praised his wise decision.

Research shows that large canteens with a variety of varieties and a relaxed atmosphere can reconcile interpersonal relationships and strengthen team performance, which is why Silicon Valley companies pay so much attention to canteen construction and create a "Silicon Valley on the tip of the tongue". The bees thought that light-hearted co-play could do something similar, and then there was a large, dedicated gaming center.

"Going to a big company to eat" has become a standard item for Silicon Valley tours, and the Bee Garden Canteen with robot chefs and innovative dishes has gradually become an important branch line of Egret Island tours, and citizens and tourists come here every day to catch up with more holidays. When the game center was launched, the attraction of this route further increased, and the bee park was restricted to the outside world for the first time during the Dragon Boat Festival, and it was also talked about for a long time.

The game center welcomes a large number of single employees who don't go home from work, and the scattered tourists who come in the rain make it almost as popular as it is during the weekend rush hour. Along the way, Atletico Madrid was constantly greeted by off-duty employees and foreign tourists, and he also nodded skillfully and raised his hand in return.

Occasionally, fans come up to ask for a group photo, and he will agree with a smile, leaving a photo with a strange painting style, the rain is slightly cool, everyone else is wearing long-sleeved pants, but he is wearing short-sleeved shorts, which is very cool at first glance.

Egret Island on the coast of the East China Sea has a mild climate, no scorching heat in summer and no severe cold in winter, and Atletico Madrid has the efficient adjustment ability brought by E7U, so it has long been accustomed to the standard combination of long sleeves in winter and short sleeves in summer, and there is no need for additional clothes to cool down a little. It is natural for others to be surprised by this, especially for those who have seen the "live Atletico Madrid" for the first time.

Atletico noticed those strange looks, but he didn't pay attention to them, and walked straight towards the destination of the trip, and soon came to the second floor of the game center. Standing at the door of the largest multi-purpose hall and looking in, there are rows and rows of computer desks and chairs, each of which is not seated. With a casual glance, the relevant numbers appear on Atletico's retina: table 1024, 2500+ people, no wonder it looks so crowded.

The bustling voices echoed through the hall, interspersed with the sound of intense keystrokes, painful curses, and sporadic cheers, and it was clear that the men were fighting their way through the game world, and that something seemed to be in a bad situation.

The game center often holds console online competitions on weekends, attracting a lot of players who love online games, thousands of offline battles, but it is much more exciting than staying alone at home and scaring on TV, such team building activities, obviously ordinary people can't refuse.

Led to the side and sat down, Atletico turned his head to look at the live video on the big screen, and with a tap of his chin, the game project was indeed replaced by "Red River Valley".

At the end of the last century, Shanghai Film Studio went to the plateau with the mission of aiding Tibet to shoot this famous film with the background of the 1904 Gyantse Anti-British Defense War.

This film caused a huge sensation that year and was hailed as "the only Chinese epic blockbuster", sweeping the three official awards of Huabiao, Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers in 96, and by the way, came back with a "Five One Project" award for spiritual civilization construction.

To this day, Gyantse County, as the filming location, is still eating the "old book" of this war and this movie, and constantly developing new "Red River Valley" series of cultural tourism products to attract tourists to develop the cultural tourism industry. Later, Bee Games went to Lhasa to open a branch because of financial and tax incentives, and Gyantse sent someone to contact the Lhasa branch of Bee Games and commissioned them to produce a movie game of the same name, trying to inject new elements into the commemoration of the 110th anniversary of Gyantse's resistance to the British.

Gyantse is a national-level poverty-stricken county, and in order to control project expenses, the county only wants to make a low-cost 2D mini-game. But when the plan was reported to Atletico Madrid, he changed it to a more expensive 3D-ARPG game, adding a lot of gunfight and artillery battle elements, the playability was greatly upgraded, and the cost increased more than ten times.

Of course, as a demonstration unit of abiding by contracts and keeping promises, Bee Games will naturally not increase prices indiscriminately to pit Party A, and Boss Ma waved his hand to say that the quotation remains unchanged, and the quality and quantity will not be increased.

And the reason why he was suddenly so active was because he took a fancy to the attributes of this project. Although Gyantse is only a small remote county with a population of tens of thousands, and its GDP is only a few tenths of the annual income of bees, it can do many things that bees cannot solve on their own.

Bee Games was planning a stand-alone game with a plateau adventure theme at the time, and the subsystems such as terrain, weather, and creatures had been prepared, but there were problems in the on-site shooting declaration, which caused Atletico a headache. "Red River Valley Game" made him see an opportunity, so he simply merged the two projects, and sure enough, the problem was solved.

The engine and core subsystems have been prepared, and the characters, props, scenes, and main plot can also refer to the movie, and the development speed of the "Red River Valley Game" is very fast. The production team of Bee Tour did not waste the data and real photos that they had obtained, and it only took one year to put the plateau scenery around the Carora Glacier into the game.

In particular, the glacier foretongue, which was blown up for the filming of an avalanche scene and has not been repaired due to global warming, has also been "repaired" with the tacit cooperation of 3D artists, barely making up for the movie of the same name.

With the beautiful and magnificent scenery, the soundtrack of the original team, the mysterious and simple Tibetan culture, and the original plot with full feelings, this game once caused a sensation. It's a pity that the plot and gameplay are too "abusive", and then it quickly fell into silence, and then with a sales volume of 130,000 and a loss of 20 million, it became a taboo topic within the bee game.

Limited to the three-hundred-year weapon generation gap between the rear-loading gun and the front-loading arquebus, the historical Battle of Gyantse was declared a failure after two months of fighting with the full sacrifice of our defenders, and the movie "Red River Valley" based on this also arranged a tragic ending: the female protagonist and the male protagonist died together with the enemy.

The game version produced by Bee Game also continues this plot, and it takes considerable effort for players to keep the main characters alive until the end of the game, and it is definitely one of the most abusive domestic games of all time.

At the beginning, the player was also encouraged by the propaganda slogan "reverse history, change the ending", and plucked up the courage to open the game again and again, and ended disappointed again and again, but no one could achieve the real "perfect ending", and could only keep cursing the bee game and Atletico Madrid. Seeing this situation, Beegame urgently pushed an update to the open mod system, allowing players to customize more powerful weapons, and only then did someone play the "perfect ending" of the protagonist's full life. Unfortunately, the remedy was a little late, and the first players had already spread the word that the game was super difficult to play.

Last year's online live broadcast boom, various streamers searched for interesting and distinctive games to bring to the audience, and some people remembered the fear of being once dominated by "Red River Valley", and brought it to the live broadcast room to perform a hundred ways to die successfully, so that the game re-entered the mainstream players' attention.

Relying on the purchase and consumption of a new batch of early adopters, Bee You finally made money on this game. In order to celebrate the success of "Hat-off", the original development team regrouped and made the previously shelved online system to be released to players for free, and now the scene of "The Battle of Zongshan Fort" is being staged, with a steady stream of British troops attacking the ruling center of the Gyantse region, standing in the way only local soldiers played by the player and a rudimentary earthen wall.

In an online game, a thousand player characters are a thousand protagonists with their own halos. Not to mention enemies of the same level, even if it is a high-level boss with a golden circle and a skull on their avatar, they can be put down one by one and touch the corpses to eat and wipe them clean, and the only thing that can stop them is another group of players with the same configuration.

However, the battle between players and NPCs is still very fierce, and from time to time a sergeant wearing a national costume will be shot and fall to the ground on the big screen, and then a muffled scream will sound in everyone's ears, and sometimes there will be a "clang" sound of the handle falling to the ground.

Thankfully,These people still have basic sanity,Know that the handle price is the lowest,Whether it's self-provided or provided by the organizer,Don't feel sorry if you break it,If you hit the screen like a certain Internet celebrity brother as a retaliation,I'm afraid this month's bonus is to soak in the high-end atmosphere of the game center4K display as standard,Although it's not a high-end product with a price of tens of thousands,It's also a mid-range product with a wholesale price of more than 3,000。

Seeing that the defensive front was crumbling, Atletico couldn't help but frown, this was completely different from the plot he envisioned!

Traditionally, the weekend games are all fast-paced, easy-to-play shooters, whether it's the popular Overwatch or Battle Royale, or the classic Battlefield series and Bee's own Classic Battlefield series, and the reason why it was changed to Red River Valley - Online today is entirely the result of his special greetings.

The reason why I did this was actually to rub a wave of hot spots elegantly and low-key, but the current scene has nothing to do with elegance and low-key, and it can almost be classified as a farce. Fortunately, I didn't agree to the live broadcast, otherwise it would only be more embarrassing.

Retracting his gaze, he looked at the person in charge here and asked in a cold voice, "What's going on?"

The person in charge answered his question with a bitter face: "Everyone is too light on the enemy, and they only chose the 'Fair Weapon Mod', and all of them used British weapons, and then they were taught to be soldiers by the AI British Army." ”

The main weapon of the Tibetan army in the main body of the game is the backward arquebus, which has a slow rate of fire, a short range, and a large dispersion, which is not at all the opponent of the opposite "Lee-Enfield MKII rifle". The "Fair Weapon Mod" was developed in response to this situation, allowing both sides to use the exact same standard weapon, but unfortunately everyone overestimated their own strength.

The Lee Enfield rifle was born in 1895 and was used until 1956, with a cumulative production of more than 10 million units, which is the most classic single-shot rifle.

Looking back at the screen, Atletico asked, "Did you turn on 'auto-aim'?"

"It's on," the man nodded, "a lot of people have only played CS and CF, and they won't be able to play at all without auto-aiming." ”

"Uh," Atletico couldn't help but hold their foreheads, "Auto-aim plus fair mod, no wonder he died so fast." ”

The person in charge is also a veteran driver of the game, and when he heard this, he immediately understood what the problem was, "The British army also has automatic aiming?"

"Or what do you think?" Atletico sighed after glancing at him, "It seems that the only way to do it is to go in person." ”

Standing up and pointing to the computer on the side, he asked, "Is this reporter invincible and vision?"

"No, no," the person in charge hurriedly continued, "The setting is exactly the same as that of other players, it's just that you stand tall." ”

Unfamiliar with the game, they spent too much time tweaking the settings until Atletico entered the door, and they didn't have time to set up invincibility and ultra-long view permissions for the reporter.

"Hmm," Atletico nodded, walked over to pick up the headphones and put them on, focusing on the battlefield in front of them.

This machine is responsible for providing signals to the big screen, so the character was placed on the top of the mountain in the back, and luckily it didn't hang up.

After observing, he picked up the handle and pressed each button to make sure it was functional, and then he controlled the character to pick up the rifle at his feet and fire a shot at the enemy line.

Based on the idea of infantry riding, early versions of the Lee-Enfield rifle were equipped with a volley sight that could be used to shoot bullets up to two kilometers away to strike at cavalry in dense formations. At such a distance, there is no accuracy at all, and the method of concentrating a salvo in the direction can only be used, compensating for the accuracy with quantity.

Later, the German imitation of the Maxim water-cooled heavy machine gun MG08 shined on the battlefield of World War I, the tactic of cavalry impact was completely outdated, and the rifle intensive curved fire also lost its usefulness, and the rifle designers began to emphasize the accuracy and power at a few hundred meters or even more close range, and only the derivative sniper rifle still emphasized long-range performance.

The game perfectly restores this setting, with the MLM range only 300 meters with auto-aim turned on, but up to 3,000 meters away with auto-aim turned off. Of course, Atletico didn't expect to kill an enemy commander a few miles away with a single shot, as long as he could hit a small soldier five or six hundred meters away, he would be content.

In this way, he controlled his character to lie on the hill and put the cold gun one by one, not asking for a headshot to kill the enemy, but to injure a few more. These AIs are still using the technology of three years ago, and in the face of enemies outside the range, they will only accelerate forward, trying to quickly close the distance between them and the defenders, and many will fall in the way of the charge.

A few minutes later, cheers resounded throughout the hall.

"Win!"
