"Let's go, let's hurry over too."

After the roommates converged, they also hurriedly left the square to keep up with the crowd.

However, when they arrived at Dr. Ohki's research institute, they were shocked by the sight in front of them.

Because there are so many people!

All crowded into the hall and came forward to pick up the initial pet.

Even if hundreds of collection tables were set up in the flood and the area of the research institute hall was expanded, it was still surrounded by the crowd.

"Don't squeeze, don't squeeze!"

"Hurry up, the front is finished and give up the position."

"Ah, it's so hard to choose, I don't know which one to want."

"Why isn't there a Pikachu option?"

"Am I so handless?"

"God forbid, just give me an evolution pet."

"Laugh to death, why don't you just ask for Mewtwo."

In order to be as realistic as possible, objects are also collided between the characters, and there is no direct clipping like in other games.

It is this kind of crowd pushing scene that makes them more involved, not only are they bored, but they feel very funny.

Especially those who managed to get the initial pet out of the crowd, laughing proudly.

Then he hurried away under the envious gaze of the other players and went straight to the outside of Zhenxin Town.

And at this time.

The grasslands and forests outside Zhenxin Town are also very lively.

Everywhere you go, you can see Pokémon battles going on, and players are directing the battle in an effort to subdue their second Pokémon.

Some were chased by irascible wild Pokémon and screamed, and the scene was spectacular.

"Jenny Turtle! Use ramming on pangolins! ”

Somewhere on the edge of the forest, a player with an ID: Form 2 Junior shouted loudly and commanded the battle.

The Jenny turtle in the waterhole received the command, retracted into the turtle shell, and slammed into the pangolin in the distance.

Bang!

The pangolin that activated the rounding skill to improve its defense was knocked out and flew out, and its HP bottomed out instantly.

"Good opportunity! Collect it for me! ”

The second middle school boy was in high spirits, and hurriedly took out a red and white ordinary baby ball, pressed the switch and threw it at the pangolin.

Sou!

The pangolin turns into a white light and is stored in the ball.

After a few struggles, there was finally a pleasant hint of ding.

"Haha, the mountain mouse, I got it!"

The secondary two boy excitedly picked up the Poké Ball and posed in the same secondary two pose as the protagonist Ash.

Seeing this, the other players next to him also surrounded him with envy.

"Taken in so quickly?"

"Why do I keep failing?"

"I'm even worse, I can't control my strength every time, and I ...... directly"

"Quick, let's see what attributes and skills the pangolin is."

Pangolins are Pokémon that like to walk around the ground the most, and it's not easy to find one, so they're naturally curious.

The second junior didn't talk nonsense, and picked up the Pokéball containing the pangolin to check the attributes.

[Illustrated Book NO:0027]

[Name: Pangolin (unnamed)]

[Attribute: Ground]

[Gender: Male]

[Height: 0.6m]

[Weight: 12.0kg]

[Personality: Leisurely (Defense Increase, Speed Decrease)]

【Skill: Circle (Normal)】

Rows of detailed information appear on the interface.

On the right, there is also a fan chart of abilities, which shows the basic attributes of the pangolin.

In particular, the defense item reached an astonishing 93 points!

You must know that his Jenny turtle is only 65 points!

"It's character! Personality actually affects attributes? ”

A player on the side immediately spotted the clue.

Everyone looked at the line of characters, and sure enough, the words "defense increased" were marked, and they were immediately surprised.

"Since there is a defensive character, there are also offensive ones, right?"

"You can't be wrong."

"This design is okay, let's brush up on a awesome character first!"

The appearance of the pet personality makes them seem to have discovered a new continent, and they are even more interested in running around in the grassland forest, wanting to catch a few more to increase the initial character of the attack.

Those who follow the defensive school are specifically looking for the kind of character that increases defense.

In this way, when you play against other players in the future, you will invisibly have a lot of key attributes, and the win rate will be greatly improved.

This news quickly spread among players, making the already popular outskirts of Zhenxin Town even more popular.

The influx of players into the game also began to spread out in all directions, venturing in various towns and regions.

……

"How? How much was sold in the first week. ”

A week is fleeting.

Chen Lin found Lao Song and asked about sales.

"The performance is very good, so far 10 million copies have been sold on the whole platform, and the virtual end accounts for nearly 40%!"

Old Song's voice was a little excited.

The general escort monopoly can reach 3 million copies in the first week, and it already has the potential of tens of millions, and most of them hovering between 100-3 million.

But now.

They directly broke 10 million in the first week.

It has become another game with tens of millions of dollars in the first week after "Red Dead Redemption", "Sword Art Online" and "Minecraft"!

If it is operated a little better.

It's not impossible to reach 50 million!

Now he finally believes that Chen Lin's words that this game will become the top three IPs of the flood have really come true.

I'm afraid this mouth has not been opened.

"Don't look at me like that, I said it casually at the time."

Chen Lin shrugged his shoulders and diverted the topic to the side: "What about the escort monopoly of other new platforms?" How's the sales? ”

Lao Song looked at him suspiciously, and then said seriously: "Other platforms are also amazing, because of the popularity of the virtual end, the huge "Gears of War", Suo Ni's "GT Racing", Rentiandi's "Mario Series", and Penguin's "Old World" have basically exceeded 3 million sales, and several others are also above one million. ”

"Well, it's a little bit more than usual."

3 million copies in the first week, which is almost the best of the escort masterpieces.

There are only two or three models every year.

Now there are so many at once, which shows that players are still hot on the virtual side, otherwise the PC side alone will not be able to achieve this kind of sales.

"It seems that they have invested a lot of money for this announcement."

"Definitely, after all, it is the early stage of seizing the market, unlike when the giant hard entered the host side, it has been a long time, so it is so difficult."

"In that case, let's move on to the next step, but we can't let them catch up."

"Don't worry, I've already arranged for someone to do it."

They have made a lot of preparations to deal with this competitive frenzy, and now it is finally time to act.

Soon.

At the bottom of the Honghuang account, a message was sent that the regional competition would be officially held in two months.

Players who successfully challenge the eight Pokémon Gyms and get all the challenge badges can sign up for the competition directly.

In addition to the huge prize money and the title of the best trainer, the winner of each national and regional competition will also qualify for the global competition.

And in the annual global competition.

Decide the strongest Pokémon training master!

This format.

It is no stranger to players who have already watched anime.

But when I saw the news issued, it still caused an uproar.

Huge bonus!

And the title of the strongest trainer!

And it was also in the virtual sports venue, witnessed by countless players, and climbed to the altar!

Either way, it has a fatal attraction for them.

Not to mention the esports clubs and individual players who make a living from it.

"Well done! I'm going to win this time! ”

"After the regional competitions, are there any global competitions?"

"It's going to be a battle of dragons and tigers."

"You have to raise a few pets in advance."

Two months is more than enough for most players.

Because the rules of the tournament will force Pokémon to level 50, you only need to level up to level 50 or more.

The most important thing is the skill attribute matching.

There are also six participating pets, such as the selection of pets, the timing of skill use, and attribute restraint.

It depends on the player's individual understanding of the game.

"Isn't it just eight gyms? Simple! Watch me shine at the regional competition! ”

In the live broadcast room.

Ouyang Xiao, who had just finished beating the first two gyms, showed off the two badges in her backpack.

"Okay, okay, I know you have two badges."

"How? I finally won the Rock Gym yesterday. ”

"The anchor is online all day, can you?"

"Le, you want to shine too?"

"Fast forward to the qualifiers and go straight out."

"Don't touch me in the game, or I'll let you know what it means to be scorched on the outside and tender on the inside."

Barrages kept drifting by.

Many viewers have made an appointment to snipe the anchor together when the time comes.

It's a thrilling scene just to think about.

I don't know what the specific competition system is, and it's not easy to meet it if it's randomly assigned.

But in any case, it is not wrong to cultivate a lineup that restrains the anchor team first.

……

Compared to the excitement of the players.

The major manufacturers are much calmer.

Except for those companies that participated in the advertising sponsorship, they basically maintained a wait-and-see attitude, and did not dare to easily make judgments on the "online games" project of Honghuang.

After all, the virtual industry is just emerging.

There are a lot of things that no one has tried.

I don't know whether it's good or bad.

It is only Honghuang that is not listed, but a powerful manufacturer, who dares to mess around like this, without worrying about losses at all.

"How? Can this technology be replicated? ”

Penguin headquarters, in the technical department.

The senior management in charge of the research and development of virtual technology brought in technical personnel.

"It's a bit hard."

The technician said bluntly: "We have estimated that this kind of large-scale online activity has high requirements for servers and fidelity, at least 50% fidelity, and the server can be expanded by tens or hundreds of times." ”

"Of course, it is not excluded that Honghuang is the kind of small venue that can only accommodate hundreds of thousands of players at the same time."

What Hong Huang said in the announcement, although it sounds awesome, is not easy to achieve.

Hundreds of thousands of people are online on the same screen, which is already a very exaggerated number.

Slightly inferior servers are at risk of crashing outright.

According to Hong Huang, they want to move closer to the million or even tens of millions level, and want to completely reproduce the Olympic stadium, I don't know if Hong Huang is crazy or they are crazy.

I'm afraid it's not a gimmick thrown out specifically to exaggerate the publicity.

After all, they penguins have done this before.

And just as the two were talking.

The sound of hurried footsteps came from afar.

"Manager, there's new news from the flood wilderness!"

What's new?

The two looked at each other and immediately looked at the visitor.

"What is it? Show it to me! ”

"It's a CG, a promotional CG for the virtual sports meeting!"

The employee's voice was so loud that it immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Soon, he came to the two of them and handed out the tablet in his hand.

What is playing on it is the promotional CG that Hong Huang has just sent out immediately following the announcement of the game.

"When—"

The loud bell rang the moment the man's finger touched the play button.

On the originally pitch-black screen, a dazzling bright light suddenly erupted.

With a rousing soundtrack, the perspective also comes to a wide lawn.

The representative characters of each game under the Honghuang banner stand in two rows face to face, constantly passing and pulling away in front of the camera.

Then there are the various venue facilities, entrances, walkways......

Eventually, the view rises to the air, giving you a panoramic view of the entire surrounding lawn.

Until this time.

The man's pupils shrank suddenly, staring at the magnificent competition venue and the all-round three-dimensional crystal screen floating above the venue.

A few large golden letters.

Play back and forth on the screen.

【The 1st Flood Virtual Games!】 】

【Official opening!】 】
