Chapter 9: Hot Promotional Video
Li Mu, male, 22 years old, with ordinary appearance and family background, is an ordinary college student of the Celestial Empire.
However, he has another identity - a virtual reality game streamer.
Since virtual reality games became popular all over the world two years ago, he joined the army of anchors who loves games and live broadcasts, and with his good eloquence and jokes, he also has a small income.
However, unlike many single-game streamers, he focuses on the evaluation of various virtual reality games, and in his words, while the endless variety of virtual games are becoming more and more exciting, none of them can really amaze him and make him want to keep playing......
In the industry, he also has a nickname "Picker King", specializing in all kinds of virtual games.
In fact, this is also normal.
Although the virtual reality network has been fully developed in recent years, and the stealth cabin has already entered the homes of many ordinary people, the vast majority of virtual engines on the market are still too poor in performance, and there will always be various ridiculous bugs when gaming.
And Li Mu won the audience's laughter by finding this kind of BUG.
Sitting in front of the computer and making himself a cup of instant coffee, Li Mu opened his anchor backstage.
"The new issue of "Komaki Review" is going to find a target."
Looking at the data in the background, he sighed.
In recent times, the quality of all kinds of newly released games has been so bad that even he doesn't want to do a review.
This is also because virtual reality has allowed many people to see business opportunities, and all kinds of bull ghosts/snake gods have squeezed in to develop games, but limited to technology, the quality of many companies' games is miserable......
Li Mu is also a well-known anchor, he can't look down on those garbage games, he only looks down on those money-burning masterpieces!
After all, finding bugs in a masterpiece is the only way to achieve a sense of accomplishment!
"I haven't been on it for a week, let's see what new works are available on the platform!"
While humming a little song, Li Mu clicked on the virtual game recommendation platform network.
His gaze swept over the advertisements without pause.
"Xianxia again? This theme has been made badly, right? Tsk, it's the special effect of Wumao again......"
"Shooting? Not...... It's okay, but there are already quite a few good works...... And I did this type in the previous issues, and I want to change the taste this time......"
"Beautiful girl upbringing? Hey, hey, hey...... This is good...... Not bad...... No, no, I don't want to be banned yet. ”
He was talking to himself as he scrolled through the game's ads.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, he paused, and the mouse hovered on an advertisement.
"Elven Realm?"
It was a nondescript advertisement, with a towering World Tree on the cover, and a beautiful, holy blonde elf praying towards the World Tree with her eyes closed.
Although the elf girl on the cover is very good-looking, in the vast number of virtual game advertisements, such a cover can be regarded as excellent at best.
After all, the cover is the face, who wouldn't make a good-looking cover! And if the cover doesn't match the real thing, it's simply not too much......
Li Mu has never believed in covers, and what attracted him this time was not the cover, but the number of clicks under this game advertisement.
"What the hell is three million hits? Did you buy it on Tao Bao? ”
To his surprise, the ad had only been published for two days and had a whopping 3 million views!
Once curiosity is generated, it cannot be suppressed.
He took a sip of his coffee and clicked on the ad.
Like many advertisements, this advertisement only has a promotional video and a link to the game's reservation, and to Li Mu's surprise, the number of comments below has exceeded 10,000.
This is not common on virtual gaming platforms!
He didn't click on the promotional video directly, but glanced at the comments first.
"Demacia:! Did the developer hire a film company to do the promotion? Don't you want to explode in funding! ”
This is the most liked comment.
Magical?
Li Mu raised his eyebrows.
This theme has now declined in the Celestial Empire, right? The unpopular of the unpopular. Europe and the United States are quite hot......
Most of his interest in his heart suddenly disappeared, but because it was really boring, he continued to watch.
"The Emperor of Africa: The magic online game has long since fallen in the Celestial Empire, if this game can be popular, I will eat live broadcast."
This is the second popular comment, and it seems that the number of likes has a tendency to surpass the first hot comment.
"Poof......
Li Mu couldn't help laughing.
In these years, there are people who like to cheat and eat and drink.
He nodded a thumbs up, and then flipped down—
"Attack on Leg Hair: Mind-Accelerating Technology? It's so tall. But does such a thing really exist? ”
This is the third hot review.
Mind-Accelerating Technology?
Li Mu was slightly stunned.
What is this thing, as if never heard of before?
He took a closer look at the reviews and was surprised to find that the new technology that seemed to be mentioned by the developer in the game's introduction was said to speed up the player's thinking in the virtual world.
One hour in the game world, a quarter of an hour in the real world!
In other words, it allows players to have more sensory playtime!
So bite? It's not blown, is it? Could it be that the industry boss did it? Pain news or network benefits?
Li Mu pursed his lips, very suspicious in his heart, and then glanced at the name of the developer.
"World Tree Black Technology Co., Ltd. ......"
His expression was a little dazed.
What kind of company is this? I've never heard of it......
"It's not going to be another bragging little company, is it?"
Li Mu frowned, slightly disgusted in his heart.
Today's Internet companies always want to make a big news all day long, and they don't care how many pounds or taels they have......
Li Mu shook his head, and in his heart he had almost decided that this eighty percent was another gimmick to deceive popularity.
But thinking of the 3 million views, he decided to watch the promotional video.
"Look at the trailer! It seems that the evaluation of the promotional video is not bad. ”
With a flick, the screen entered the interface of the promotional video......
As it played, the computer screen went dark.
Li Mu took a sip of coffee and began to watch nonchalantly.
Accompanied by ethereal singing, the picture slowly brightens.
The first thing that catches your eye is a majestic world tree......
The camera gradually zooms out with the World Tree as the center, and the gorgeous cities are displayed in front of Li Mu's eyes, and the elegant and beautiful elves shuttle through the green city, talking and laughing, showing a real picture of the elf civilization......
At first, Li Mu was a little absent-minded, but soon, he was attracted by the constantly changing scenes.
The magical and pleasant scenery, the magnificent and unique city, the elegant and noble elves, and the cheerful and beautiful background music make him feel immersive.
A melodious female voice slowly sounded, and began to tell the story of the World Tree and the Elves on the Continent of Saigas......
"It's a bit interesting, it's quite realistic, the scenery is great, the character models are very detailed, and the movements are very smooth. Also What is BGM? It's nice, but it's like I've never heard it before......"
Li Mu couldn't help but admire.
Not to mention the game, this opening animation is really detailed and realistic!
Gradually, Li Mu became serious.
The story continues......
Great power has given the elves a brilliant civilization, but it has also led to arrogance and pride.
Abundance and abundance have finally ushered in coveting.
The power of the conspiracy continued to coalesce, and eventually it led to a crisis.
Suddenly, the picture changed, and the golden light illuminated the sky, accompanied by sacred chanting and roaring, and a blurred figure of the majestic shore appeared.
The war began.
Then, lava fell from the sky, the earth collapsed, and countless sacred angels of faith fought with the giant oak guards, and the originally peaceful scenery turned into a magnificent battlefield......
Brutal fighting, brilliant magic, spilled blood, magnificent miracles......
The pictures complement each other, and the tragic and cool scenes are matched with the ethereal and majestic and tragic background music, which makes Li Mu's eyes widen, and his blood is gushing, and he can't help but sigh "wow" in his mouth.
While he was amazed by the wonderful special effects, he also felt a trace of worry and sympathy for the elves from the bottom of his heart.
Li Mu watched it even more fascinating.
At the end of the war, it was the conflict of the gods, and under the attack of countless divine arts, the leafy World Tree finally came to an end, withering and decaying......
In the midst of a cry of pain, the civilization of the elves became history......
With an ethereal and sad song, the picture is plunged into darkness.
The sad and moving music began to echo.
Li Mu, who was completely immersed in it, also unconsciously let out a long sigh, and inexplicably had a resonance:
"Born in sorrow, die in peace...... This is the rise and fall of civilization......"
After a few moments, the picture changed again.
A beautiful elven girl appears in the frame.
Dressed in a rich sacrificial dress, she knelt in a ruined temple of nature, praying with tears in front of the idol......
As the maiden prayed, the ethereal singing gradually reached a climax, and finally, in the last chant, a deafening bell rang out!
The idol flickered slightly......
The picture darkened again, and all sounds fell silent.
A few seconds later, lines of majestic and indescribable artistic characters appeared on the screen:
"Amazing Mind Acceleration Technology allows you to enjoy the game world!"
"Intelligent AI brings you an unprecedented gaming experience!"
"Create the most real, thickest, most immersive, and most free epic magic in history!"
"On June 1st, the virtual reality online game "Elf Country" officially launched an undeleted closed beta! Welcome to your registration! ”
"Elven Realm - Waiting for your salvation!"
This is the end of the promotional video.
Li Mu was stunned for a moment, and it seemed that he hadn't recovered from the shock of the divine battle just now.
After a moment, he pinched his thigh:
"! How much money did it cost to make up a story and do special effects! ”
