Chapter 46: Relics of the Protoss
Seeing this propaganda poster, Zhao Haiping's eyes couldn't help but light up.
"Open a new dungeon?
"Dongyi people...... Could it be a copy of the Dasheng Dynasty? ”
Although Zhao Haiping's historical knowledge is not as high as Chu Ge's, he still has basic common sense.
The Dasheng Dynasty was the last unified dynasty in China, and in the later period of the Dasheng Dynasty, the power of the Dongyi people reached its peak, crossing the ocean, constantly harassing the southeastern border of the Dasheng Dynasty, and even planning large-scale attacks.
Although the war ended in a complete victory for the Dasheng Dynasty, the Dongyi people did cause great damage to the southeast coast of the Dasheng Dynasty.
In the promotional picture, it is basically a standard Dongyi army, and it also includes several standard images of Dongyi thieves.
It's just that Zhao Haiping is a little puzzled, why is the background a modern square?
Replacing it with an ancient battlefield, it should be more meaningful, right?
Moreover, the player in the poster also appears in the casual clothes of modern people, not in the game image of a soldier or an assassin.
With doubts, Zhao Haiping continued to read the update instructions for the new gameplay of "Dark Sand".
"Dark Sands' new mixed reality (MR) game mode, Demon Invasion, is coming soon!
"How to play: The demons entrenched in the slice of history vainly try to enter the real world through various means and bring disaster to the world. Battle-hardened Orderers, travel to the border between history and the real world to crush the demonic invasion!
"Eligibility: Players who have cleared any of the Trial Dungeon of Dark Sands and obtained any of the identities of Assassin, Warrior, Scribe, or Ranger can participate.
Participating Locations: This is an offline event that will be conducted in mixed reality mode, please click on the event map to view the specific participating locations.
"Special note: This offline event is a pilot event for a new game version, after the offline event, "Dark Sand" will update the series of copies of the Great Sheng Dynasty, and open a variety of new gameplay including the network mode, please participate in it!"
In addition, there are some detailed rules and additional notes, which basically means that as long as players have cleared any trial dungeon, they can participate in this event, and it doesn't matter if they don't understand any of the rules, as long as people are there.
There will be a process guide arranged on site.
Zhao Haiping was shocked.
He couldn't have imagined that this game would be so played, and VR couldn't be satisfied, so he directly engaged in an MR activity!
MR is mixed reality, a technology that overlaps virtual reality with reality.
The player is still in the real world, but a special gaming experience can be obtained by displaying the virtual reality content in the player's field of view through a specific MR device.
But there's basically no company playing with this thing at the moment.
Even though the world's VR game technology has generally reached more than 50% realism, the MR industry still hasn't developed much. After all, MR requires more complex technology than VR.
But the game "Dark Sand" even has MR mode? And confident that VR is doing it as well?
It's off the charts!
Moreover, it is clearly written on the official website that this MR game mode "Demon Invasion" is not a completely independent offline event, it is directly related to future updated game versions.
That's a must-have!
Whether it's to open your eyes to see what a 100% realistic MR game looks like, or to get a head start on a new release, this event is a must-have.
Zhao Haiping looked at the time and place.
The time is 1:30 p.m. tomorrow, and it is required to arrive at the site 15 to 20 minutes in advance to debug the equipment.
There is no problem in terms of time, even if tomorrow is not a weekend, Zhao Haiping will ask for leave.
How can work be so important?
Glancing at the location of the event again, Zhao Haiping was even more overjoyed.
Because most of the activity area is in the vicinity of Tiandu!
The nearest point is only more than two kilometers away from him, which is not too close.
There's nothing to say, hurry up and sign up.
There is no limit to the total number of players in this event, but players are asked to spread out their registrations to ensure that there are not too few players in some remote event locations.
In addition, there is a difference in the upper limit of the number of people at each registration site, with some having more people and some having fewer people.
Zhao Haiping guessed that it may be because the size of these venues will be different, and it is normal for large venues to accommodate more players.
I just don't know how the game officials of "Dark Sand" chose these locations.
Judging from the situation on the map, there does not seem to be any regularity in the choice of these locations.
From the perspective of promoting games, shouldn't this kind of activity be scattered in major cities across the country?
I don't understand.
But considering that the brain circuits of the developers of the game "Dark Sand" have always been clear, there is no need to delve into it.
Anyway, if there is any event to participate in, it will be over, and it will definitely not be wrong.
……
……
At half past one in the afternoon of the next day, Zhao Haiping came to the event site on time.
It is a science and technology park with a large area and several office buildings. Although there is no particularly good location in Tiandu, the land price is definitely not cheap.
And the venue of this event is in this science and technology park.
Zhao Haiping got off the bus at the gate of the science and technology park, and was surprised by the scarcity of people in this place.
Although today is a rest day, and there are not many people working in the science and technology park, it is inevitably too deserted.
You must know that there are some small commercial areas in this science and technology park, there is a small shopping mall, and there are several restaurants, gyms and so on, but now there is no trace of anyone at all.
Coming to the entrance of the science park, he was stopped by a man who looked to be about forty years old and had an embarrassing stubble.
"There is a special event today, and the entire science and technology park has been occupied, and idle people are not allowed to enter."
Du Gang has already persuaded many people to quit.
This science and technology park is in his charge, although it is not yet certain whether the matter of the orderer is true, but after all, it is an important situation that may be related to the safety of ordinary people, and it must be strictly demanded and conscientious to avoid any idle people from entering.
Zhao Haiping was a little surprised, he knew why there were so few people.
It seems that the developer of "Dark Sand" has chartered the entire science and technology park, and there is no audience arranged!
It can only be said that it is indeed rich and rich, and if you have money, you can do whatever you want.
"I'm here to participate in the offline event of "Dark Sands"."
Zhao Haiping explained as he took out his ID card.
Du Gang stretched out his hand to take it, confirmed his identity against the registration form, and then nodded: "You are the first player to clear the Martial Arts Trial?" ”
Zhao Haiping nodded: "Yes, it's me." ”
Du Gang was a little emotional, and a little envious.
If he didn't know the truth about all this, he might be able to participate in this event. But now, I can only work as a staff member.
Du Gang handed back his ID card and pointed to the science and technology park: "Let's go inside, follow the signs, and go over there to get the game equipment." ”
Zhao Haiping looked inside and found that the event was quite formal, and the entire science and technology park was full of staff, the density was beyond imagination, and all kinds of instructions and signs were also in place.
There is also a dedicated place to pick up gaming equipment.
"This company is really wealthy, and there are many more staff at the event than the players who participated in the event?
"But it seems that no one else is allowed to visit at all, and an offline event is so serious that it is like martial law, and the atmosphere is full.
"And this staff is different from the people of other companies.
"Other companies do this kind of activity, and the staff are all smiling and have a good service attitude, but the staff here have a serious face, as if they are really sending you to the battlefield.
"They don't look like ordinary people, but they look like an army with loaded guns, and their aura is so strong."
Although Zhao Haiping knew in his heart that this was just a game and an entertainment activity without any pressure, in this atmosphere, he was really a little nervous about to set foot on the battlefield.
