Chapter 128: Chapter 67: Explosion! The Uncontrollable Exhibition Hall Gamers!_3

Some people had their canned drinks completely spilled on someone else’s shoes without even realizing it.

Even the incessant noise from other exhibition areas outside had become indistinguishable background white noise at this moment.

It was relatively quiet, and absolutely quiet!

Dumbfounded!

All the visitors who saw this promotional video were, without exception, dumbfounded!

Less than three minutes of footage.

What did they see?

A vast and boundless island appeared before their eyes, from majestic mountain ranges to sprawling fields, from abandoned cities to dilapidated farmhouses.

This huge map was not limited to traditional FPS alley fighting, but expanded to the entire island!

It was filled with randomness and challenges everywhere.

Here, every newly spawned player was completely equal!

Every empty house might hide infinite possibilities!

All firearms and items had to be scavenged by the players themselves.

Then, they would engage in fierce battles with countless other survivors.

The man in a leather jacket who popped out of the house at the start of the game undoubtedly epitomized that danger was everywhere.

Whether it was waiting for prey at a high vantage point in a school or the life-and-death struggle of a person in camo gear in the jungle holding their breath against an opponent.

The game’s unique and free gameplay slowly unfolded in front of the players!

The refreshed red zones would force players to make choices, whether to detour to avoid or to risk crossing?

The chaotic fights in Gray Port, the intense vehicle chases, and the deadly poison circle step by step!

From sniping long shots to close combat brawling, even grenades that could flip vehicles.

Here, players had to think of every possible way to create chaos and fight their way out!

Of course, there were also rewards.

Airdrops filled with top-tier equipment would descend at any time.

But before opening one, you had to be very careful of whether there were still enemies lying in wait on that overpass.

And what finally brought an end to the entire promotional video was the unexpected and unassuming frying pan.

It seemed to convey that this game had many more wonderful ways to play, waiting for players to discover!

So many novel concepts thrown out with the promotional video overwhelmed the on-site visitors, with their worldviews being blown apart again and again!

Finally, after half a minute of silence.

The audience, their emotions suppressed to the limit, began to burst into wave after wave of ear-piercing screams and cheers!

The magnitude of the noise was so great that it made the vast exhibition hall, capable of accommodating fifty thousand visitors at once, nearly deafening!

At that moment, almost all the visitors from other exhibition areas turned their heads in unison.

Curiously looking towards the center of the exhibition hall, where the crowd was packed three layers inside and three layers outside, and yet more people kept pushing towards it.

The discussion in the crowd also grew more intense, nearly everyone was red-faced and excitedly talking, and the scene was on the verge of losing control!

"Damn it! What good karma did I accrue in my past life to be able to see such a revolutionary FPS concept today?"

"Shocking my mom for ten thousand years!!"

"This trailer has me all wet, my eyes wet. It’s not just passionate or intense, but those settings presented one after another with the camera shots really made me tear up uncontrollably! What virtue did I, an old FPS player, have to wait for the birth of such a game?"

"Just thinking about how I was still praising ’War Annihilation’ as awesome, and now after seeing ’Pubg,’ I just want to smack myself twice... What the hell kind of FPS was I playing before?"

"I kneel to this company... What’s the name of this company? I feel like I’m witnessing the rise of a new giant..."

"Damn it! When is your game going online? How far along is the game development? Are you still short on research and development funds? I’d sell my blood to support your game development!"

"I’ve never been so eager for the launch of a game in such a moment!"

"Designers, if you’re short on money, just let us know!! We’ll crowdfund for you to make the game!!!"

Apart from the repeated shouts at the scene.

There were also many silent visitors, but they were not idle, having secretly started filming the promotional video on their phones, which they kept forwarding to friends and family.

The atmosphere kept building wave upon wave. Nearly ten minutes had passed since the promotional video had ended, yet the audience’s enthusiasm showed no signs of waning, but instead, it seemed to rise even more.

Some were raising their arms and shouting ’Number One Player,’ while others were yelling ’Hurry up and get online.’

The employees of Number One Player were also stunned.

They had anticipated that the release of this promotional video would cause a huge response.

But they had not expected it to be this immense.

Especially when Ke Jin, microphone in hand, announced that a lucky player would be randomly selected to come up on stage and experience a live demo of ’Pubg.’

The screams grew even fiercer, nearly ripping off the ceiling of the exhibition hall!

As the saying goes, some are happy, some are sorrowful.

Lu Long, who had been very calm just half an hour ago.

Upon seeing the rapid depletion of the audience in front of his own booth, and after the neighboring promotional video had finished playing, with his own booth now almost empty.

His face turned extremely ugly.

Taking out a small bottle from his pocket, he poured out a few pieces of VC, chewed them vigorously to suppress the rising blood pressure inside him.

Then, squeezing out a smile, he turned to the few remaining visitors.

"Young man, our ’War Annihilation’ is also fun. There’s hardly a queue now; do you want to give it a try?" He waved kindly at the young man in front of him, grabbing the other’s arm.

"Are you sick? Who wants to play your game? I’m just queuing up because there’s no space... Let go of me. If you can’t match their quality, don’t set up your booth next to theirs, just trying to mooch off their popularity, huh?" The young man was irritated, his face displeased as he wrestled his arm free, and without looking back, he squeezed into the crowd at Number One Player’s booth.

Seeing this, Lu Long’s forehead throbbed.

Recalling the events that just took place, he felt a fire burning in his chest.

That company he had internally denounced as ’clowns’, ’incapable of making good games’, ’just riding on coattails.’

Now, right beside him, their popularity was shooting through the roof.

Even with a massive siphon effect, they drained all of Netcom’s traffic!

The words ’clowns’, ’incapable of making good games’, ’just riding on coattails’ now seemed to have fallen upon his own head.

I, Netcom, need to leech off others’ popularity??

But the players wouldn’t listen to this.

In the realm of sheer gameplay experience, Number One Player undoubtedly won over everyone.

And what was even harder for Lu Long to accept was.

Behind him, a group of employees from Extreme Game looked at him, not knowing what to do.

The reporters nearby were also just crazy enough to shove their cameras in his face, constantly pressing the shutter.

This made Lu Long’s blood pressure soar even higher.

Since when have I, Lu Long, ever been so humiliated?

Fuck! My blood pressure exploded!

He tilted his head back, shaking the bottle forcefully into his mouth.

But he couldn’t shake out a single piece of VC.

Enraged, he slammed the plastic bottle to the ground, but it bounced off the edge of the booth and smacked him right on the nose.

A sharp pain accompanied by a flow of blood streamed out, dripping onto his finely tailored suit.

Looking at his own disheveled reflection in the computer screen that hadn’t been booted up yet, Lu Long was so angry he had to laugh.

"Fine, fine, you want to play like this, huh."

"I didn’t want to bother with a small company like yours, but since you like to push it..."

"Then don’t blame me for not being polite!"
