Chapter 212: Advertising, Progress, and Hearthstone Match
When Sonia left, the coldest wind of the year swept through the endless ice of the northern seas, and in the coastal lands of the northern part of the continent, she unbridled to vent herself.
On this day, the investigation team sent by the Blood Elves arrived at the Silver Fortress and asked Konstantin Xingshi for his crimes.
On this day, the violent turmoil that changed the pattern of the orc tribe also burst out into a fire in the territory of the Warsong clan where the orc chief was located in a small friction that had been planned for a long time.
Also on this day, the unrivaled town of Stormwind hosted the first Hearthstone Card Gold Tournament after the completion of two large game rooms in Newtown!
Stimulated by the rich rewards, all the people who come and go to or pass through Stormwind Town have a more or less understanding of Hearthstone cards, and after many days of brewing, the number of players who paid to sign up is as high as 3,000, although it seems that this number is not very shocking, but in Stormwind Town, which has only 15,000 people, it is enough to show how great the influence of Hearthstone cards is.
The number of people directly involved in the game was as high as 3,000, and the large number of spectators attracted made Stormwind Town appear to be empty, and the originally slightly crowded streets, on this day, only two or three big cats and kittens, as well as the champion knight in charge of patrolling, and the rest of the people all flocked to the three competition venues, including the Hearthstone Hotel, to witness the players who advanced from the vast audition.
With the resources of Storm Town now, coming up with exciting prizes is not a problem for Anduin at all, anyway, today's investment is for tomorrow's profits, and he is the happiest person to see the majority of players actively participate.
According to the rules of the competition, all the 300 winners who can stand out from the audition will be rewarded with the same admission ticket, and also have the opportunity to challenge more generous rewards, therefore, the competition was held for two consecutive days, both participants and spectators, all maintained high enthusiasm, in addition to the material rewards and the excitement of the fun of the game, Anduin carefully created a viewing environment to immerse many spectators in a novel experience.
After getting the projection technology, Anduin planned to build a movie theater, although there is no trace of a mature film system, but the embryonic screening hall is already able to play key games in real time, and those who can't enter the game room will always rush into it at the first time of the day, accompanied by relaxing music and delicious snacks, enjoying the virtual projection that they have never experienced before.
When Vice President Harrison Jones saw the projection screen in the screening room for the first time, showing the real-time game of the Hearthstone cards, a spark of inspiration immediately burst out in his mind, and he excitedly found Anduin, who was inspecting the power station, and asked anxiously: "Marquis Anduin, can your screening room only show games?" ”
With his hands behind his back, he ignored Anduin, who gritted his teeth, and was a little confused: "No, when today's game is over, I will see the enthusiasm of the audience and then decide whether to play the game video, everyone's interest in the screening hall is quite high, so I plan to take advantage of this time to debug." ”
"What a terrible thing!" Gazruvi, who was standing next to him, heard that Anduin had applied such a precious technology to a meaningless level, and he hated it so much that he wished he could use the mecha on his body to blow up Anduin and forcibly snatch the latest version of the projector.
However, he can only think about it, not to mention the legendary knight Eddard who is still standing on the side holding the True Silver Holy Sword, there are two high-level legends in Stormwind Town who have never appeared, not to mention that Gazruwe is more and more aware that Anduin is not a person to be messed with, so he can only be patient and compete with the engineers led by the dwarf Green by transforming the power station for technical competition, and finally win the coveted remote projector smoothly.
"Play the video?" Jones muttered to himself and hurriedly asked, "Can there be anything else that can be shown besides the game video?" ”
"What the hell are you trying to ask?" Anduin raised his eyebrows, not understanding why Jones, who had always been cool, was so vague today.
Jones patted his head, and also felt that he was a little out of shape, it was really the work of the Explorers Association that was extremely busy in the past few days, which made him dizzy all day long: "The situation is like this, the reputation of the Storm Branch of our Explorers Association has been beaten, and many explorers have been attracted to Storm Town with the help of underground ruins, but there is not much fresh blood that has really joined our branch, and I have focused on this issue in the past few days, and found that many explorers do not understand the advantages and characteristics of our Storm Branch at all, As well as the partnership with Stormwind Town, I have tried to promote it in a variety of ways, but it has not had much effect, so I want to use the screening hall to promote it well, once and for all! ”
Anduin suddenly realized: "So you want to advertise!" ”
"Advertising?" Jones felt that this unfamiliar word was appropriate, nodded and smiled, "Yes, it's advertising!" I saw that the screening hall has attracted a lot of popularity, so I wanted to use a projection video to introduce the Storm Branch, of course, as a part of Storm Town, we will pay the Marquis of Anduin satisfactory, what do you think? ”
"Okay, originally I wasn't going to sponsor this competition for testing the waters, but since you took the initiative to bring it up, I definitely don't have a reason not to support it!" Anduin smiled and raised his hand to show Jones a clear path, "You go to Engineer Green now, he has the recording equipment there, and if it goes well, the first commercial can be shown today!" ”
"Then thank you Marquis Anduin!"
Jones arched his hand with great gratitude, and happily rushed to the base of the power station where the dwarf engineer was, and his appearance made Gazruwe frown: "Anduin, why would you rather use remote projection technology for such a boring aspect than sell it to me directly?" You know, the price I pay is sure that you and he will pay much more for the advertisement! ”
"Boring?" Anduin waved his hand, and the old god looked at the power station base that was beginning to take shape, "I'm not bored! Huh! It's not me who picks on the thorns, shouldn't your progress be accelerated? Yesterday, when Engineer Toshley reported to me, he made it clear that their power station would be done as soon as spring came, and that Stormwind would be built and your power station would be nowhere to be found! ”
Gazruvi was provoked by Anduin, and immediately glared angrily: "Hmph! Those gnomes, what ability is not, bragging skills are the first in the world, to tell you, our construction speed has been super level play, but at least until the summer to complete, you gave me the design drawing, although some structural ideas are innovative, but the required components, but must be rebuilt, with our current manpower and technology, has reached the limit speed, those gnomes can actually be faster than us three months? Hum! That's why you'll be fooled! ”
"Really?" Anduin touched his nose and smiled slightly, "Yesterday, the engineer Toshley asked me for advice specifically for those parts, so I told them the process method of processing the parts as soon as possible, and then Toshley patted his chest and promised me that it would be completed at the end of winter. ”
"What?"
Ghazruvi jumped to his feet in anger at these words, pointed at Anduin's nose and asked, "It's not fair! Didn't you promise not to open the back door to those gnomes? ”
"Yes, that's why I'm here today to inspect the progress of your project!" Anduin nodded, deliberately teasing the angry Gazruvi, "But as for the parts, I already said it yesterday, and I don't bother to waste any more words, you just send someone to negotiate with the dwarfs, anyway, most of the parts you use are the same, so you don't have to waste resources to build a lot of buildings." ”
After speaking, Anduin deliberately ignored Gazruvi's resentful gaze: "Okay, genius Mr. Gazruvi, today's inspection is over, the evaluation results are unsatisfactory, there are still a lot of things that need to be improved, you continue to be busy, you don't need to send me, if you have any questions about parts, I think Mr. Green will give you a proper answer." ”
"Slow down and don't send it!"
Gazruwe squeezed out this sentence from between his teeth word by word, eager to tear Anduin to pieces, he can see that the purpose of Anduin's inspection today is not to check the progress, but to rush the process, if the goblins and dwarfs work together, they can quickly solve the parts problem, and in the end, it is needless to say that the benefits must be Stormwind Town, which is eager to use electricity, and Anduin, the initiator!
As soon as he thought of cooperating with those gnomes, Gazruwe wanted to pick and choose, but for the sake of the remote projector and the grand blueprint in his heart, he could only forcibly suppress his anger and lead someone to negotiate with the gnomes under the deliberate impetus of Anduin......
Time flies, when the new town of Stormwind Town is rapidly expanding from a barren wilderness at a flying speed, the five-day Hearthstone Card Gold Tournament has also come to the last day, and the three hundred players who won the audition have finally produced eight winners after a series of competitions, and they will decide the champion today and compete for many desirable championship rewards.
"Little White is really amazing, he easily entered the semi-finals, as long as his luck is not bad in this competition, he must be the champion, right?"
Jones, who was in a good mood recently, asked with a smile, using a slightly embarrassing live-action advertisement to make a successful promotion for the Storm Division of the Explorers Guild, and that night, the number of people who signed up to join the Storm Division surged, so that Renault was also very happy with such an immediate effect, so he waved his hand and took advantage of the situation to sponsor the first Hearthstone competition, making the reward items even more generous.
At the same time, the exemplary role of the Explorers Guild has also successfully attracted many sponsors, and many merchants from as far away as the Silver Fortress have not hesitated to spend a lot of money to join in the excitement, just to show their faces on the big screen in the screening hall during the break of the game.
"Hearthstone cards are not predestined, and random entertainment determines competitiveness to a certain extent." Anduin pointed to the avatars of the two opponents on the big screen, "These two people have been in contact with Hearthstone for a long time, in fact, it is not long, look at the choice of key operations, you can know that their consideration of the battle situation, or a little less heat, the technology is not necessarily stronger than those who brush down, to be able to break all the way here, I have to say, luck is very important." ”
"Besides, didn't that shameless old fox also reach the quarterfinals?" Anduin glanced at Marin, who was showing off his martial arts not far away, and shook his head helplessly, "His skills are not very good, but with the strength of the legendary high-level, as soon as he sits in front of the opponent, ordinary people are scared of the six gods, and many people dare not speak out, and there are dozens of protest letters to the organizing committee after the game, alas, I didn't think about it properly before the game, and as a result, he took advantage of the loophole, and now it's too late to change, I really don't know if he's idle, what are you doing with this excitement?" ”
Hearing this, Jones laughed: "Isn't it that you have been rewarded by the champion? Not to mention free admission tickets, bonus potions, real estate in the new city or something, just those three big meals and ordering rights, made many people, including me, excited and excited, but our luck is not as good as that of His Excellency Marin, if he meets Little White in the finals, it will not help if he estimates that White's skills are good. ”
"Don't worry, Jones shouldn't be able to laugh right away, his quarter-final opponent is Hera Tieli, Marin's little trick should be useless." Anduin has a lot of confidence in the bearded dwarf, Jones is also looking forward to the performance of his right-hand men, and the members of the Explorers Guild, only Hera Tieli has hope of winning the championship, and even Renault came to help for those three feasts.
Before the official game, the old fox Marin also relied on the old man to laugh at Renault, saying that he would show mercy to his subordinates and look like he was holding the chance to win, but he couldn't laugh after the game, because Hera Tieli's big heart ignored the legendary high-level momentum suppression, and in the best-of-five game, he directly shaved the bald head of the old fox Marin, so that many players who were forced to be eliminated by obscenity and power let out a vicious breath.
After the game, Renault scolded the bearded dwarf in front of the old fox Marin, and did not leave the "mercy of his subordinates", so that Marin's old face could not be hung up, so he could only move White out, anyway, Little White won the game, and finally had to honor him, so the old fox Marin immediately took a high profile of "I have a unicorn", unfortunately at the final scene, and welcomed another defeat.
Zhou Zhuo, an inconspicuous traveling scholar, after seven rounds of fierce battles, finally narrowly defeated Little White and became the final winner of the first Hearthstone Gold Match, and he was eager to return home, and after seeking Anduin's consent, he replaced the three opportunities to order a big meal for a large hot pot party, which was regarded as a perfect end to celebrate the game, as well as a practice for his departure, and at the same time, it also happened to welcome Sonia, who returned safely, and uninvited guests from the Silver Fortress......
