Chapter 125: Chapter 66: Offline Explosion! An Unethical Promotional Video!_3

Thinking about it, I could understand.

"After all, Netcom is such a large company, if we could establish a good relationship with them, maybe they would, with a generous wave of their hand, really allow us to follow them and get a little something to eat or drink? Perhaps that’s what Mr. Ke is thinking too," Gou Chehua thought to himself as his voice fell silent.

Soon after, the doors of the exhibition hall slowly opened.

The hanging clock on the pillar inside the hall also pointed to exactly 10 o’clock.

At that moment, the visitors who had been waiting outside for a long time, like zombies passing through, crazily charged into the exhibition hall.

The dense crowd surged in, and in less than ten minutes, thousands had streamed in.

What had been a relatively quiet venue instantly turned chaotic, and exclamations from the tourists filled the air around me.

"Holy moly! ’Deserted Island Bell’ actually has a sequel? In my lifetime! I hope they can continue the horror excellence. There are fewer and fewer companies willing to make horror games these days."

"Shoot! This life-size figure is made exquisitely, but this company seems like a cesspool, always starting strong and ending weak."

"Where is the ’Intense Fast Fight’ booth? This is the fighting game I’ve been most looking forward to this year!"

"Ahhhh! ’House of Fantasy’ is actually doing a crossover with ’Rose Workshop’ this year? Double joy for the fans! I need to go there and take a photo!"

Some visitors are diehard fans of a particular factory and have come from far and wide to support it offline.

Of course, more visitors are just joining in the fun, looking to scoop up new games, buy some game merchandise, and wander around to soak up the atmosphere on site.

Before long, the crowd spread out in all directions, evenly dispersed like Brownian motion.

The exhibition booth of Number One Player also saw the occasional passerby.

But in front of the large base of gamers, only a few recognized this company.

They bought merchandise, took photos with the staff inside the company, but seeing that this company was still not starting the promotion for the new game, they waited for a while before moving on to other areas.

"Mr. Ke... Aren’t we going to start the promotion now?" Gou Chehua was getting anxious.

Half an hour since the start of the exhibition had passed, and the other manufacturers were already bustling, drawing in quite a few tourists.

Only the exhibition booth of Number One Player remained desolate. Since the big screen behind was still black, no one wanted to stay.

Meanwhile, Netcom had spent the first half hour engaging in activities, various prize-guessing contests, question-and-answer games, which had already hyped up the atmosphere to the extreme.

Just watching their booth, there were easily hundreds of people.

And it wasn’t just those hundreds who were attracted; there were only so many people that could stand around the booth, and even more tourists kept tiptoeing behind them, or holding up their phones above their heads to watch.

"No hurry, let’s wait a bit longer," Ke Jin sat in a very inconspicuous spot at the back of his own exhibition booth, his hands resting on his belly, his eyes closed as if resting.

At the same time, in the neighboring booth where the atmosphere had been built up for more than half an hour, the anticipation finally exploded.

The long-awaited newest promotional video for ’War Annihilation’ had finally arrived!

The stirring BGM started playing, then it cut to a tense and exciting combat scene.

In a narrow alley, five camouflaged special forces on the assault team leaned against cover, and it was evident that none of them were in good condition.

But as they slowly breathed, each person’s complexion gradually became rosy.

They then started whispering a plan to each other.

Suddenly, one of the soldiers split off to circle around, climbing down from a ladder in the scene.

"Charge!!!"

As the soldier who had circled around indicated through the radio that he had reached the planned location, the helmeted team leader suddenly rose from behind the barrier, and with a roar, the squad, carrying color-worn guns, charged at the alley ahead.

A smoke grenade was thrown out, quickly obscuring the figures of the men.

Screams from the enemy could be heard almost immediately.

The soldier sneaking up from behind made his move!

"Captain, switch to better equipment!" A cool-looking submachine gun was quickly thrown amidst the spreading smoke, its body gleaming with a noble light.

The captain swiftly discarded his broken gun and replaced it with the brand-new submachine gun.

Firepower instantly maxed out! Flames spewed from the muzzle.

The BGM became even more rousing at this moment.

He led his four teammates to rapidly capture the stronghold at the end of the alley and wiped out the enemy in one fell swoop.

Then, the soldiers exchanged glances, smiles appearing on their faces as they high-fived to celebrate their victory in battle.

"Let’s go, there’s more places waiting for our help." The captain slung his gun over his shoulder, a resolute look in his eyes.

The final scene froze on five special forces soldiers, backs to the audience, walking toward the smoke-filled distance.

With that, the promotional video ended.

A deep voice-over emerged from the darkening screen: "We need more help, call up your brothers, and fight alongside us!"

In the end, Netcom’s LOGO appeared, followed closely by the Extreme Game LOGO.

Boom!!

The venue immediately erupted into thunderous applause!

Cheers and shouts were endless.

"Damn! Awesome!!!"

"This is spot on!!"

"The texture is so crisp... the modeling so three-dimensional, the captain’s facial features at the end looked as if they were real, what else can I say? You never disappoint, Netcom!"

"Everything promised in the last CG has been realized, oh! Healing after disengaging from combat, stealth ladder, and even picking up enemy weapons... They even covered more details, for example, a teammate picking up the enemy’s weapon can transfer it to the team’s powerhouse player within a certain time, letting the big brother lead us to victory! And after victory, each teammate’s hand gestures and dance moves, these were not shown in the previous CG. Amazing!!!"

"The gameplay is so fresh, my turtle turtle! I can’t wait a second longer!!"

"I’m more interested in that dazzling submachine gun just now, the fiery red spray paint pattern, even subtly pulsating... How much for one of those guns? I want to buy!!"

"This is probably the most balanced FPS ever, is Netcom not planning to make money? I’m literally crying..."

The atmosphere at the venue reached a climax amidst the continuous praise and applause.

All of this was as Lu Long had predicted.

He held the microphone, slowly moved forward from backstage, and looked at the crowd with a smile.

"It’s an honor to stand here today, to witness this game that has been polished over a long time with everyone, and I’m honored by your great love. Games should always be player-oriented, so we should adopt more balanced gameplay for every player, this is the demeanor a competitive game should display! Alright, I know everyone is itching with excitement now. The promotional trailer has ended, so without further ado, let’s get to the offline demo..."

Just as his words were yet to finish.

"Bang!!!!"

A thunderous bass from a cannon-like sound wave suddenly erupted beside him!

It was so loud that it nearly drowned out Lu Long’s voice through the microphone.

Everyone’s gaze instinctively turned towards the display booth on the left, where the screen had been dark for a long time.

At the same time, behind the top player’s booth.

Ke Jin cranked the volume on the Supreme Level Hyper-Force MAX speaker to the max, almost unethically.

He heavily pressed the play button on the computer connected to the projector.

The Pubg promotional video, at that moment, slowly unfolded before everyone’s eyes!
