Chapter 136: The Summer Storm (I)
Although the perpetrators have been dealt with by the local press and publication bureau, the people who have been stimulated by the visit to the Yasukuni Shrine and the Diaoyu Islands dispute can not be so easily quelled, including many gamers.
Since clearing "Blood Battle on the Beach" with the highest difficulty, Li Wenbo has rarely touched this game, but this year's situation is a bit special, after a series of unpleasant things happened, he played "Blood Battle on the Beach" again, not only him, but also many classmates in the class, and even some people who didn't play games also joined in.
It's the same today, after Li Wenbo entered the game, according to the recent habit, he first entered the three cheat codes of full weapons, unlimited ammunition and invincibility, and then copied the most powerful weapon bazooka, and bombarded it all the way, and the Japanese devils who appeared along the way, whether they were dragging guns or riding horses, were all bombarded into slag, and even the armored vehicles that originally needed to hide and hide to face, Li Wenbo could also stand in front of them and bombard them without hurry. This new way of playing also allowed him to discover new fun, such as being able to use rocket jumps to get to the high platform that he couldn't get up, and get some things that he couldn't even get as a cheat code, but because of the existence of invincibility, the spare blood bag on the high platform has really become an ornament.
After playing the game for a while, Li Wenbo felt that his mood was gradually getting better, he pressed the pause button, picked up the magazine placed next to the computer, turned to the color page advertisement in the middle seam and read it carefully. This is a game advertisement about "Authentic Heroes", which is actually a painting, depicting several militiamen crawling out of the tunnel of the donkey pen, and one of them came out first and leaned against the window and looked out, with a few lines written on it: "The militia are ready, are you ready?" On July 7, "Authentic Heroes" faced the little devils!"
There is no picture of the game in the whole advertisement, but Li Wenbo has a feeling of blood boiling, and he wants to rush into the game to fight, but unfortunately "Authentic Heroes" has always been very mysterious, except for some words, there is no game picture leaked at all, which makes Li Wenbo very unhappy, fortunately, at the end of June, when the club activities, he finally saw a game Demo screen, and the exquisite 3D picture immediately attracted his attention, that is, this time he finally knew the original "Authentic Heroes" What exactly is a game. It is not accurate to say that Li Wenbo knows what type of game "Authentic Heroes" is, because there are elements of business construction in this game, and there are also real-time combat parts, and even the characters in it can be upgraded like role-playing games, and for a while he doesn't know which type of game to put this game into, but one thing he still knows very well, that is, this game is very interesting and fun, and he has secretly decided that as soon as the game is on the market, he will buy a set and come back to study it well.
……
July 7 was an ordinary Sunday, but it became unusual because of the incident that happened in the area of Lugou Bridge 59 years ago. At nine o'clock in the morning on this day, it was also at the entrance of the Haidian Theater, which everyone was already familiar with, and it was still a temporary stage, but under the background of different music, it showed a different atmosphere from the past.
"Tunnel warfare, hey, tunnel warfare,
Millions of soldiers in ambush,
Hey, millions of soldiers in ambush,
A guerrilla war was waged on the Great Plains for thousands of miles,
Village-to-village, household-to-household, tunnel-to-house,
Invaders he dares to come,
Beat him so that his soul trembled,
Invaders he dares to come,
Beat others on their backs,
All are soldiers,
All the people go to war,
Wipe out the invaders once and for all.
……”
The impassioned tune and the familiar lyrics soon boiled the blood of the players at the scene, coupled with several seventy-year-old anti-Japanese war veterans sitting next to them and the banner "Big knife cut off the heads of the devils" at the venue, the players only had one idea left in their hearts, buy a set of "Authentic Heroes", and then go home to teach the devils a good lesson.
Li Wenbo is no exception, in order to get the game faster, he rushed to the venue early to queue up, with this first-mover advantage, he successfully obtained the right to buy the first batch. After receiving the thickly packaged game from the staff, Li Wenbo handed over the 8 sheets of unity prepared in advance, and then hugged the game, and under the gaze of the players in the back row, he left the venue in a hurry, got on a bicycle and rushed back home.
Unpacking as always, Li Wenbo didn't care about appreciating the accessories inside, anyway, he knew that some of the things he brought with him every time were very good, so he took out the game disk directly, installed it on the computer, and then double-clicked the new "tunnel battle" icon on the desktop, and started the game.
The first opening paragraph that seems to be a black-and-white movie, with the familiar theme song of "Tunnel War", Li Wenbo suddenly recalled the scene of watching the movie "Tunnel War" when he was a child, of course, this title did not follow the example of some game companies, and directly counted a video from the movie, but imitated the style of the "Tunnel War" movie, remastered a picture, telling the scene of the devil invading the Central Plains, the soldiers and civilians in various places rising up to resist, and then with the voice-over" During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the military and civilians in the base areas behind enemy lines launched mass guerrilla warfare in order to resist the invading enemy army. The tunnel warfare in the Jizhong Plain is a glorious example of the introduction of ......", which sets off the feeling of that era.
After the beginning of the film, several more people standing in the village appeared on the screen, and suddenly a man with a white towel ran over and said anxiously to a man with a gray cloth hat: "Team...... Captain, there are devils and puppet soldiers coming towards our village. ”
The man in the gray cloth hat asked unhurriedly, "How many people are here, and how long will it take?"
The man with the white towel kicked a few breaths: "There is still a stick of incense coming soon, there are four devils and six puppet soldiers." ”
"Don't panic, let the crowd go down the tunnel quickly. The man in the grey hat began to assign tasks in an orderly manner.
At this moment, a prompt suddenly flashed on the screen: "The first level, the first edge." You still have a stick of incense to prepare for (fifteen minutes in the game, which is equivalent to five minutes in real time), and since the village militia is small and lacks competent weapons, you must use the tunnels that have been built to hide yourself and fight the enemy. Victory Condition: Destroy all enemies. Defeat Condition: Masses or Hidden Locations of Food Discovered. ”
Li Wenbo couldn't help but get nervous as he watched the time fly by on the screen, he regretted a little that he hadn't studied the game manual beforehand, and suddenly he didn't know what to do. Fortunately, a prompt appeared on the screen at this time, suggesting that he arrange for a few villagers to collect materials such as wood, bamboo, and stones, and then arrange for a few people to use the existing resources to build simple traps and traps.
Li Wenbo immediately followed the suggestion, moved the mouse and clicked the collection button on the lower edge of the screen, divided half of the people to collect the materials, and then arranged the rest of the people to dig a few pits at key points in the village, insert some sharpened bamboo sticks, or hang a mine. Time passed quickly, Li Wenbo nervously watched the progress bar of the construction grow slowly, just when there was still a minute and a half before fifteen minutes, the construction work was completed, Li Wenbo quickly withdrew everyone into the tunnel, and then arranged a few militiamen to guard the key position at the entrance.
As the alarm bell sounded, the devil and the puppet army appeared at the entrance of the village and began to touch the village in a big way. As soon as he walked not far away, a puppet soldier accidentally stepped on the trap and fell in, and the sharpened bamboo sticks inside immediately made him let out a miserable howl and hung up. The rest of the devils and puppet soldiers couldn't help but be careful, but when they pushed open the door of a house, they encountered a mine that exploded in the air, and another unlucky devil hung up on the spot. When this group of enemies finally touched the entrance of the tunnel, only half of the four devils and six puppet soldiers were left, waiting for a few guys to feel into the tunnel in fear, and soon there were bullets flying from nowhere or red tassel guns that suddenly pierced out to greet them, and they all hung up before they walked twenty meters. A burst of passionate music sounded, and Li Wenbo's first battle to defend the village was considered an easy victory, and then he realized that the game "Authentic Heroes" seemed to be quite easy to play.
But when Li Wenbo continued to play, he gradually discovered that "Authentic Heroes" was not simple, not only the number of enemies was increasing, but the combat effectiveness was also getting stronger and stronger, and it was more durable. From the initial puppet army and Japanese recruits, to the later Japanese veterans and elite Japanese soldiers, the arms have also developed from the simplest riflemen to machine gunners, grenadiers, cavalry and spies, etc., which are becoming more and more difficult to deal with. In addition to rationally arranging manpower to collect resources (including cleaning up the battlefield after each battle), Li Wenbo also had to further develop the scale of tunnels (from simple tunnels on one floor to a complex tunnel network of two or even three or four layers), make rational use of resources to build traps and traps, and even take time to train the militia, so that the militia could grow into elite militiamen, and even develop into sharpshooters, assaulters (using machine guns), broadswordsmen, scouts, and so on.
Li Wenbo gradually figured out the characteristics of the game, as long as he made reasonable use of the limited preparation time before the game started, he could greatly improve our combat effectiveness, and can form enough weakness to the enemy, so that he can have the opportunity to stand in front of the tide of enemies and complete the task of destroying the enemy and protecting the masses.
Other players who bought the game feel similar to Li Wenbo, "Authentic Heroes" is an easy to get started, but it is not easy to clear the game easily, those players who will not effectively use resources and rationally allocate manpower, always encounter sooner or later the defense is completely broken, the enemy rushes to the crowd to hide or collect food, or in some levels that need to hold on for a certain amount of time, it is not at all the last moment.
Unwilling players began to look for the cheats of the game, so the game guide book launched by taking advantage of this trend has become a hot item, and even the game magazine that publishes articles such as the full guide is also very popular, and even the sales have doubled slightly, and "you stick to the first level" has also become a buzzword for players to greet each other when they meet, and even some good people shouted out the words "if you are a man, you must stick to the end".
Under the deliberate arrangement of Fengyun Interactive, the popular news of "Authentic Heroes" has also successfully appeared on the pages of some newspapers, and it has aroused a large area of attention, and even many people who were not interested in the game have learned the name of "Authentic Heroes" because of newspaper reports, and the sales of the game have also set a record of 92,000 units in three weeks in mainland China, and there is even hope to hit the 100,000 units.
The game's popularity has led to a number of follow-up titles, such as Victor's release of a game called Tunnel Warfare, but they opted for DoomToo's first-person shooter. The hot sales of the game also attracted the attention of pirates, but with the reasonable distribution of Fengyun Interactive, it still won almost three weeks, starting from the third week of the listing of "Authentic Heroes", piracy circulated in small quantities from the south, and by the fourth week, pirated discs have drifted to various places like snowflakes, and as a result, the sales of genuine copies began to plummet from the fourth week, and after a long time, "Authentic Heroes" still failed to achieve the feat of breaking through 100,000 sets, and the final sales stayed at the position of 98332 sets.
Chen Jingyi also regretted seeing this result, "Authentic Heroes" can be said to be a good opportunity to take advantage of the right time, place and people, the real-time strategy game "Three Kingdoms" that was launched in May in advance, and the "Sword Fairy" and "Sui and Tang Dynasty Heroes" launched a little later are much worse in comparison, although the results have improved compared with last year, reaching more than 40,000 or even 50,000 sets, but still have not been able to get rid of the fate of having to rely on export sales to return to the cost. "Authentic Heroes" originally hoped to break even by relying solely on sales in the mainland, but unfortunately it fell short in the end, and almost broke through the break-even point of 100,000 sets. Not only Chen Jingyi, as long as the employees of Fengyun Interactive participated in this marketing campaign have the same feeling, they are annoyed by such a result, and feel that if they work harder, maybe the goal of 100,000 sets will be achieved, but unfortunately there is no regret medicine to take in this world, so the employees of Fengyun Interactive have to transfer their grievances to the next game that will be listed, and be ready to work hard and do better results.
