Chapter 39: Guns and Fire (I)
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
The active players in the game, after several months of publicity, according to background statistics, are about in the early 30,000s, which is very active for a web game, and many large online games rarely have so many active players in a single group of servers, and the number of registrations does not mean anything.
Of course, on the other hand, it is a double intelligent NPC role, which is completely played by Atu's clones, which is actually a huge investment, after all, those clones of Atu, in those Internet bag companies opened by Ling Chen, are creating several times the value of ordinary human white-collar workers every moment, and now it is a huge expenditure to put it in this game, but in order to attract more players, it is also worth it to complete Ling Chen's purpose of screening talents.
After the red and blue collar workers of the 10,000-strong battle are selected, the remaining 3 days depend on the number of players recruited by both sides, of course, if the recruitment is really insufficient, Ling Chen will let those smart NPC characters fill the number, but then it will be greatly discounted.
For Ling Chen, it was much easier for him to recruit soldiers, and when he made a notice on the mercenary group member channel, a large number of people called friends to participate, and for ordinary players, it didn't cost money, just watch the fun.
Ling Chen himself is a captain, and he can only bring 15o soldiers, 10,000 troops to participate in the battle, he still needs at least a hundred lieutenant officers to command the troops, the scale of the Meng mercenary group is more than 1,500 people, of which hundreds of people are NPC intelligent characters, this time they will not take the initiative to participate, among the remaining players, they are willing to spend hundreds of thousands of yuan to buy a military rank, not much, a total of only forty or fifty people.
In this way, there is still a gap of fifty people, but this is nothing, just take the money and smash it.
"Recruit fifty officers, send the rank of captain directly, require absolute obedience to the command, sign an online contract, if there is a violation of the game order, the loss will be recovered twice, recruit soldier players, the more the better, pack equipment, buy player game time until the end of the war, at least 8 hours online, the war must be online, the price of every 8 hours of game time is 15o yuan, pay once every 8 hours, during the game time purchased, the game character needs to obey the order, can not go offline at will, after going offline, all rewards will be recovered............ ”
With Ling Chen's broadcast in the game, a big wave of rendering was completely tempted in the online game industry.
"Online games reproduce the level of local tyrants, a battle of 10,000 people, smashing five million!"
"Madness or obsession, where are online games headed?"
"The true identity of the player is debatable, and it is suspected that the act is another hype by the game company"
All kinds of comments poured in, but apparently most of them thought it was just boring hype, and no one thought that any player would really spend so much money, although with the expansion of the online game market every year, there is no shortage of local tyrants who have invested more than one million levels, which is nothing new, but there are almost no people who are willing to spend huge sums of money and hire a large number of ordinary players to play with them.
Now that such a one has appeared, it has naturally attracted widespread attention.
Many online reporters began to flock to the game, they wanted to capture first-hand news materials, but also wanted to see whether the Thunder Entertainment Company, which has recently smashed a lot of advertising, is a false appearance or a real substance.
……………………
Wangji Xiaomei is one of them, she has a bit of a posture, registered a real-name video verification account on the official website of "Ouhan-Fengyun", and got some routine preferential treatment, such as sending upgrade packages and other things, and the character can choose to display the real-name video certification logo.
Relying on this mark, she soon found a male player who seemed to have some capital in the husband and wife recruitment advertisements in this game, and "Baoshan Youbao" became her husband.
"Bao, is this 'fighting for beauty' really rich or fake rich?" She went straight to the point and asked about a topic that has been more popular on the Internet in the past two days.
"Of course it's really rich, those ingots are not fake" "Baoshan Youbao" knows how much money he has rushed, and his kind of Cheng dù can't be ranked at all in this game.
"Those players on the wealth list, the top 100 recharges are more than one million, you can imagine how deep the water is in this game," he said, and he was also envious of these local tyrants, envious that they didn't have so much money to play games freely.
"There are so many people who consume so much, why haven't I heard that this game is so popular before, it seems that it has only suddenly become popular in the past two months," Xiaomei asked.
"Of course, it's all by throwing money at it, I just clicked on it after watching their pop-up ad on a novel website, and now it's quite popular, so I played it," Baoshan Youbao said.
"How much do you know about this 'Fight for Beauty' recruiting a large number of players to play the real war series?"
"It's been spread all over the game in the past few days, he and another player who 'marries a machine qì person as a wife', wants to play real battles, recruit ordinary players to fight musketeers, and the money spent is really a sea, and only the boss can afford to play" "Baoshan Youbao" said enviously.
"So let's go and have a look?" Xiaomei asked.
"Okay, I'm still recruiting people now, but the reward is definitely not much, after all, it's less than 2o hours away from the battle, let's have a good time" "Baoshan has treasures" It doesn't matter, he doesn't lack those hundreds of dollars, so he doesn't want to sign up, I want to watch first, if it's really fun, then it's not too late to participate.
Soon the two clicked on the game panel to accept the red camp's task of recruiting soldiers, and then there was a hint that they got one hundred and fifty game ingots in the freeze, and in the next eight hours of the game, they had to accept the orders issued by the red camp leader at any time, and if they didn't execute it three times, the frozen ingots would be deducted and returned to the task party.
If there is an act of going offline without permission, it will be regarded as a breach of contract immediately in a war scenario, and there is a five-minute chance to reconnect in a normal training scenario.
Therefore, it is required that the player's network should be good, to be stable, and others pay to hire it, but it is not to give money to play in vain, so there will naturally be certain requirements.
The two had no objection to this and did not choose to cancel.
With only 2o hours left before the start of the battle, the two men were prompted to participate in the final musket combat training, which would take a total of 6 hours.
The operation training is divided into three stages, the first stage, two hours, there is a single-player mission scene, which is to operate a musket in the 17th century, characterized by a front charge, flint fire, smoothbore gun, to complete the operation training of loading, gun manipulation, aiming, shooting and other steps, of course, because it is only familiar with mouse and keyboard operation, of course, it does not need to be the same as the actual operation of real people, it takes too much time.
But even so, the two can only barely remember those shortcut combinations to get the characters to make these moves proficiently, and after this toss, the two obviously have a real experience of the hard work of 17th-century musketeers, and if they use real guns, they don't know how much time it will take.
Although the operation is a little harder, I see that under my own control, the characters in the game begin to bite open the paper powder bag quickly, pour gunpowder, then put in the lead pellet, mash it to death with a whole strip, and finally raise the gun to aim and fire, which is still very fulfilling.
But when it came to the second stage, when the queue was trained, it was not so easy.
All kinds of slogan orders, forward, backward, lined up in a horizontal column, left and right, although they have experienced it in military training, but now it is required to immediately control the characters in their hands to execute the corresponding orders after hearing the voice command, at the beginning the two were still a little interested, but soon felt bored, and this is exactly the normal reaction of virtual reality, the modern military training in reality, is boring, to rely on a large number of repeated exercises, so that soldiers form conditioned reflexes, where there will be real comfort and freedom to play games.
"Don't play, don't play," Xiaomei gave up after the third operation error, and the guide was punished by the instructor, which was too boring and too laborious, and she soon doubted whether there were so many players who were willing to continue playing.
When she exited the task, she was quickly prompted that the task had failed, and the one hundred and fifty ingots in the freeze had been deducted from her account and returned to the task distributor.
She quickly sent a private message to her husband who she had just befriended, "Baoshan Youbao", but now reminded the other party that she was in the task scene and could not send a private message, and couldn't help but be a little suspicious, the other party was still insisting, you must know that more than three hours have passed now, she has a task herself, and she can't hold on for so long, the other party is a pure player, how can she last so long.
