Island City Animation Park, the headquarters of the home of the machine.

Somewhere in the grid, keyboard keys crackled, and square words appeared on the screen.

After coding the last line of content, Yuan Yang nodded with satisfaction, moved the mouse and clicked the send button.

The page refreshes automatically, and a game guide article titled "Home Academy: How to Fight Beasts Happily in the Silk Road" appears on the screen.

The "beast" of fighting beasts usually refers to fierce beasts, such as lions, tigers, brown bears, crocodiles, etc.

During the Roman Empire, hunting shows, animal executions, and gladiatorial performances were often held in the Flavi Colosseum (now known as the Colosseum) to promote the power of the empire and entertain the nobility and freemen.

The gladiatorial performances were attended by the famous gladiators, the hunting performances were performed by professional hunters called bestiarii, and the bestiarii executions were the execution of death row prisoners with fierce beasts. Due to the tragic death, prisoners often committed suicide to avoid being killed by the beast's kiss.

These activities seem bloody and violent to modern people, but they are exciting, interesting and powerful to the ancients 2,000 years ago. Not only ancient Rome, but other ancient civilizations have records of the use of animal punishment, the difference is only that the "executioner" varies from place to place.

Bestiality continued to exist in some remote areas until the 19th century, and Spanish bullfighting and dog fighting wanted to be declared a cultural heritage, and many people were curious about the results of the lion and tiger fight...... Each of these things shows the fact that these things still have a unique allure for modern people.

Bee Tour's Silk Road is dedicated to recreating the medieval world of 2,100 years ago, and naturally does not ignore such elements that enhance the game's appeal, where players can hunt animals, fight beasts, and sit back and watch beasts fight. It's a pity that in order to prevent the game from being too high-rated, the official has restricted this kind of content, hunting can't fight protected animals, there are only wolves and crocodiles in the Colosseum, the species are scarce, the action is restrained, and it is not too bloody, which inevitably gives people a feeling of scratching their boots.

Yuan Yang's purpose in writing this strategy article is to teach players how to bypass the bloody restrictions and beast fighting restrictions and experience the full version of the beast fighting in the game.

Looking at the comments left by netizens, his face was full of pride.

At this moment, a questioning voice suddenly sounded in his ears, "What do you want?

"It's nothing, I just wrote a guide. ”

Sideways to avoid the elbow that Wang Shan wanted to put on his shoulder, Yuan Yang flicked the mouse with his right hand to scroll the page up and down, making the eye-catching word "reward" at the bottom of the article flicker. House rules, the editor of the original article at the bottom of the word "reward" icon. Although it may not be possible to get many netizens to tip, it can give people a sense of luxury that is not copied and reprinted.

"Oh?" said Wang, apparently noticing the word. With a smile, he turned his head to look at the article on the screen, "It's still an original article, are you sure you haven't Ctrl+C (copy) or Ctrl+V (paste) content from other places?"

Yuan Yang immediately said that he would not do it, and his eyes widened as Kong Yiji: "Why do you slander people's innocence out of thin air like this? Isn't it right to write articles and find cited materials?"

"Hey!" Glancing at the title and picture of the article, Editor-in-Chief Wang raised his eyebrows again, "Your information doesn't seem to be checked enough? The Colosseum was built in the first century AD, and the start time of the 'Silk Road' was 126 BC, a difference of more than 100 years, and the Colosseum did not appear in the game's official Roman promotional video!"

"Indeed," Yuan Yang did not deny, scrolling through the page to find the paragraph introducing the Colosseum, and whispered: "In 72 AD, the ninth emperor of the Roman Empire, Wei Paxiang, forcibly conscripted 80,000 Jews to build an amphitheater, which was completed in 82 AD. The difference of two centuries before and after is naturally impossible to ignore, and players can indeed not see the Colosseum under normal circumstances. ”

"So there's still something abnormal?"

"Well, you don't know one thing. Rather than abandoning the 'Seven Wonders of the Medieval World', the Silk Road Studio has made it a hidden easter egg for the Roman plot line. Players need to help the Roman Republic win the Confederate Wars, suppress gladiator uprisings, help Pompey conquer Palestine, and then support Caesar or Octavian to become consuls for life and establish the Roman Empire, and then they will be given the epic task of building the Arena. ”

The "Seven Wonders of the World" concept began in the 3rd century B.C., and the buildings listed on the list were all scattered around the Mediterranean Sea, and most of them were destroyed by war, and only the three Great Pyramids in the Giza region of Egypt survived. The past cannot be traced, so later generations put forward the "Seven Wonders of the Medieval World", including the Colosseum, Alexandria's Mausoleum, Stonehenge in England, the Great Wall, the glazed pagoda of the Great Bao'en Temple, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, and the Sophia Cathedral in Turkey.

Later, in 2006, someone organized the "Seven Wonders of the New World" selection, and netizens voted for seven buildings, including the Great Wall, the Colosseum in Italy, the ancient city of Petra in Jordan, the Taj Mahal in India, the Pyramid of Chichen Itza in Mexico, the ruins of Machu Picchu in Peru, and the statue of Christ in Brazil. The selection was met with twists and turns at the beginning, with Egyptian officials rejecting the pyramids' candidacy and UNESCO criticizing, but in the end the impact was not as good as the previous two lists.

"Hiss," Wang Shan took a cool breath, "It's so troublesome to listen to, Pompey, Caesar and Octavian didn't seem to be born at that time, could it be that the start time of the Roman line is different?"

"Not really," Yuan Yang shook his head, "Under normal circumstances, players need to wait patiently for two hundred years to watch Rome slowly grow from a city-state alliance to a vast empire spanning Europe, Asia and Africa, and finally end with the celebration of the completion of this miraculous building." However, this game supports mods, as long as you play the 'Colosseum Unlock' mod, you can skip these steps and see this miracle building belonging to Rome in advance. ”

"So your so-called strategy is actually the instructions for using this mod?"

"Not only that, in addition to unlocking the arena, I also used 'Bloody Beasts' and 'Any Gate', so that even if players are far away in Chang'an, they can come to Rome to watch the beasts at any time. ”

Nodding, Lao Wang smiled and asked: "By the way, the miracle building of Rome is the Colosseum, and what is it of the Han Dynasty? The Great Wall and the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum are already there, so it can't be the glazed pagoda of Bao'en Temple, right? It is a building of the Ming Dynasty, with an interval of 1,500 years!"

"Of course it's not the Great Bao'en Temple," Yuan Yang continued to shake his head, "The miracle building on this side of the Han Dynasty is the Grand Canal. ”

"This is too, isn't it? Didn't the Grand Canal be opened by Emperor Yang of Sui?"

"No," Yuan Yang tilted his head, "The time span of the Grand Canal is actually very long. The earliest section of the river is said to be the ditch dug by order of Wu Wangfu in the Spring and Autumn Period, and the Qin Dynasty repaired some more. As long as the national strength reached the Western Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu used troops in the north for many years, and needed to import grain from other places, so he could only dig a canal to communicate with the Jianghuai, and there was already a waterway between Chang'an and Hangzhou at that time. After the Three Kingdoms, the north and the south were opposed, the canal became broken and congested, and was almost abandoned. Later, when the Yuan Dynasty eliminated the Southern Song Dynasty, Kublai Khan ordered the river to be repaired to lead the route to the capital, but in the end, the Ming Dynasty gained real benefits. ”

"Hey!" Wang Shan nodded, "The infrastructure madness is not refined in a day!"

Yuan Yang thought so, "There is no way, the consumption of grain transportation by land is too high, and there is no way to use vehicles and horses during wartime, and you can only find a way to transport it by ship in peacetime." ”

"By the way," Lao Wang suddenly thought of something, "The scale of the Colosseum is so large, the modeling cost is indispensable, and the scale of the Grand Canal is even larger, so it's too wasteful for Bee You to spend so much money in order to bury Easter eggs, right?"

"Actually, it's fine. Just like the Han Chang'an City, the 3D modeling data of these world cultural heritage projects are ready-made, and all you have to do is further refine and modify them, and the cost is actually not as much as you think. ”

"Oh," Lao Wang suddenly remembered, "I almost forgot, there is your courier at the front desk." How do you ...... landline?"

Turning his head to see the phone on the table, he immediately laughed: "You can play." ”

The telephone on the table is brightly colored and rounded, with a strong toy style.

"I bought it for my nephew, I forgot to take it off when I installed it to test the effect, and we hardly need a landline anyway. ”

With a casual explanation, Yuan Yang got up and walked towards the company's front desk.

After a few minutes, he returned to his workstation with a small brown cardboard box in his hand.

Picking up the utility knife and about to scratch, he suddenly put down the knife and went to a colleague to borrow a mirrorless camera, but he planned to take unboxing photos.

This small delivery box is from Egret Island, and it contains the beta client for Bee Game's latest masterpiece "Crazy Soccer 4". Although the sales volume is not as good as that of FIFA and E, it also opens up a world with its brain-opening system design.

The game performance is quite good, and the bees are naturally not hesitant to invest in publicity resources. Seeing that the new work is about to be launched, their publicity war has also entered the stage of tackling tough problems, in addition to placing advertisements on sports programs and saying that the boss of the horse is playing football to create hot topics, various media have also received the test packages they have sprinkled. In addition to IGN, famitong, master's starry sky, demon mountain and other professional game media at home and abroad, the non-professional game media such as the home game version has not been missed, and it is also taken care of.

After taking pictures of the exterior of the carton, he put down the camera and used a utility knife to cut the tuyere tape, opened the inflatable bag inside, and took out a blue carton.

The box is small, with a USB flash drive, a miniature trophy embedded in a foam tray inside, and a plastic card.

Inside the USB flash drive is the "Pre-order Commemorative Edition" client specially prepared for pre-order users;The trophy is an overhead globe cup in the game,The sterling silver material looks quite exquisite;As for the card,It's the monthly card of the Blue Whale Football Club。

Blue Whale is not a professional football club, it was formerly known as the Jiajing Sports Department, and they operate more than 50 small football stadiums across the country through self-built and leased. Except for a few teams in China B and China C that lack their own stadiums, ordinary people who love football are also the objects they serve.

The high-standard stadium is expensive, and the Blue Whale monthly card is worth hundreds, and there is obviously an element of gift-giving and buying the media here.

After thinking about it, Yuan Yang put the USB flash drive, trophies and cards together, raised the camera and took a picture. Blue Whale's stadium in Island City is far across the bay, even if the company's fans are too lazy to go over, it is better to use it as a prize to distribute to netizens.

Putting down the camera, he turned on the PT2 host and plugged in the USB flash drive.

Limited by the cost of the main control chip, Beegame does not use the latest USB 3.1 Gen2 standard, but the read and write speed of Gen1 is enough to support the installation-free operation of the USB flash drive version of the game.

After verification, "Crazy Soccer 4" will be automatically added to the local game library.

Unboxing and making a full set, Yuan Yang took a screenshot of the cover picture of "Crazy 4" and clicked to start the game.

After the opening animation of Bee You and Blue Fireball, the opening animation of the game slowly unfolded, looking at the picture on the screen, Yuan Yang couldn't help but laugh directly.

Other colleagues noticed the movement and came over to see the situation. When they saw the content of the screen, they were just as shaky and short of breath, and soon burst into laughter.

Without him, the game's intro is too spoofed.

As before, in the animation, there are two groups of people playing football, but the identities of the kickers are extraordinary, on one side are Captain America, Wolverine, Hulk, Storm, Cyclops, Thor, Spider-Man, Thunderbolt...... are all superheroes of the Avengers, but on the other side are Monkey King and nine famous immortals, including Han Zhongli, Zhang Guolao, Han Xiangzi, Tie Guan Li, Lu Dongbin, He Xiangu, Lan Caihe and Uncle Cao Guo.

Obviously, this scene is a "tribute" to the football-themed comedy film "Fairy Ball War" released in June this year.

The latter said that the "Eagle Claw Alliance" Leopard Khan led a large army to attack the "Xiangyun Kingdom", and finally the two sides decided to fight Keju and use football to determine the ownership of the country. seems to be in order to create a strong Hong Kong-style nonsensical atmosphere, the "Eagle Claw" side is the ugly Avengers heroes, and the "Xiangyun" side is the scum of the eight masters of martial arts. In the face of the attack of the superpower, the eight masters were first beaten, and then they turned into eight immortals, and with the help of He Yu's version of Sun Wukong, they finally defeated the strong enemy and ushered in a happy ending.

The 2014 World Cup in Brazil brought about the theme of football, and many football film and television dramas were launched that year, and "Fairy Ball War" was one of them. The filming cycle of this movie is only one month, and I thought that it would be released in the summer to get a ticket, but it was not released until the summer of 17.

However, bad movies don't become good because they are left out for a long time. Because of the bad plot, the extremely good service, and the special effects are even more five-cent, this movie has received a large number of bad reviews, with a box office of less than 10 million, and it has been asserted by film critics that "booking in advance is the worst of the year", but unfortunately another old bad movie was released recently, but their prediction failed to come true.

Although this is a big bad movie, it has a high reputation because it is bad and distinctive. Inspired by it, Blue Fireball specially contacted Marvel to obtain authorization and arranged a "Avengers vs. Immortals" ability football match in "Crazy Soccer 4" as an exclusive benefit for pre-order users. Compared with the Wumao special effects three years ago, the game special effects of Bee You are obviously several grades better, but they have a bit of the therapeutic effect of eyewashing.
