The summer competition between The Sovereign Descends the World and Jumping Nucleus was still ongoing. With only a quarter of his HP left, Sweeping Away Cloud faced off against The Sovereign Descends the World's genius Feng Yi.
If Sweeping Away Cloud won this match, then he would create history … a history of one versus four.
This was an unprecedented record in the seven-year history of the Alliance of Strife!
As the boss of Jumping Nucleus, Mr. Yin did not go to watch the match live. He was currently watching the match using the Heavenly Palace's livestream widget in Cola Mania's stronghold. Apart from watching the match, he was also discussing with Air Bubble about the battle for the New World Square.
"Don't you think that the Inner World is too boring?" Mr. Yin looked at Air Bubble who was sitting opposite him.
"You want to use this method to make us withdraw … Isn't the battle for the New World Square a little too clumsy?
Mr. Yin? "
For CEO Yin's visit this time, Bubble arranged for the meeting to be held in the most luxurious building in the Cola Mania Stronghold. In fact, it was just a wooden hut. He also found the rarest and most popular NPC in the Cola Mania Stronghold, Draconic Speaker Visser, to personally serve tea.
That's right!
Air Bubble was showing off that he had Dragon Speaker sisters.
But recently, Visser and Yumi could not do much work, so Cola Mania temporarily shifted their focus to the Inner World.
Visser placed two cups of hot tea in front of Air Bubble and Mr. Yin …
When she passed the hot tea to Mr. Yin, he even said "thank you" in a low voice.
Visser was a little surprised as she held the plate and stood to the side.
Air Bubble glanced at Visser's expression and felt that something was wrong, so he lightly slapped the table to get Mr. Yin's attention.
"I'm just speaking the truth. Have you seen the Heavenly Palace Gaming Platform's evaluation of the Inner World DLC?"
Boss Yin's line of sight had been fixed on the battle between Feng Yi and Juan Remnant Cloud. However, his fingertip moved and he threw an interface to the Air Bubble.
The Holy Ghost game had already launched two large-scale updates that were classified as downloadable content on the Heavenly Palace Gaming Platform. One of them was the Brandt Island Expedition.
The downloadable content of Brandt Island was highly acclaimed on the Heavenly Palace Gaming Platform.
For example, the rich game plot, diverse monsters, island ecosystems, and diverse NPC recruitment and construction systems had greatly expanded the Holy Spirit's gameplay!
Separate Brandt Island and make it into a game that can sell well! "
Also, "I feel like I can play Brandt Island for another ten years!"
"The builders are grateful to the game developers for releasing this downloadable content. They spent the whole night building houses because of the game's conscience."
"Holy Ghost — Sim Expansion!"
The players' high praise for the Brandt Island DLC even included the Holy Ghost itself. It should be noted that only players who could play the Holy Ghost game could comment on the downloadable content.
Brandt Island had only been open for less than two months, and the Holy Ghost had updated the Inner World DLC. It was just that … the Inner World update made the players not very satisfied.
Because the gameplay of the Inner World was really too little compared to Brandt Island!
Air Bubble took a cursory look at the comments below the Inner World.
The Inner World DLC's reviews were mixed. Among the many reviews for the Inner World DLC, Air Bubble only looked at the review with the highest number of likes.
This review had more than a thousand words.
Air Bubble took a cursory look at the game reviewer's ID, "I'm also someone with Freya." It was a very tough ID, and his review was also very tough.
"The Holy Ghost's Inner World this time should have been released in a hurry for the advent of the holographic projection era. Although the Inner World has opened up the Uptown riverside area and the Rivertown pedestrian street area, it has once again contributed amazing modeling details and graphics to the players.
But the gameplay of the Inner World is too big and empty because of the rush. The excellent game content in Holy Ghost, such as immersive NPC interaction, a large number of side quests and hidden quests with multiple choices and endings, as well as the various surprises that can be discovered during exploration, none of these exist in the Inner World. There is only fighting over treasure chests and monsters with other players, as well as boring content of fighting for territory. PS: If it wasn't for the 630,000 and the fact that the Challenge Tickets can be sold for money, I might spend the rest of my life with my wife on Brander Island.
Air Bubble looked around at the reviews of the Inner World DLC. He smacked his head and realized … why didn't he think of that?
The Inner World was really boring. For a rookie like him, after the initial feeling of entering the real world … he had to face a large and empty Inner World.
Perhaps professional players could find joy in challenging the guardians of the Inner World, but Air Bubble would rather squat in the Cola Mania stronghold and chat with the Dragon Speaker sisters.
"I've asked some people to investigate the forums. Now, other than fighting for treasure chests to exchange for money, players go to the Inner World to take pictures, admire the scenery, and do parkour with some players who have the ability to climb walls."
Manager Yin threw another 4396 trading website interface to Air Bubble. The 4396 trading website challenge tickets had been pushed down to the point where one could buy one for around one to three gold coins.
The price continued to fall. Boss Yin had already expected this, but the Challenge Certificate that he had bought from Milk Increase without increasing the price wasn't useless.
Leaping Core had already occupied a park area in the upper city. Leaping Core spent the other portion of the challenge tickets on fighting Cola Mania at the New World Square.
Now, all Holy Ghost players knew that challenge tickets were valuable. That was why some max-level players would run to the Inner World to carry bricks when they had nothing to do.
These kinds of people were very common in major online games. Almost all online games were made up of players who had no money. Players who were rich only needed to spend money to buy the resources in the hands of these people.
But Holy Ghost had the jewel of the Brandt Island DLC. This made the Inner World of carrying bricks really boring. It was so boring that most players wouldn't stay too long in the Inner World after carrying bricks every day.
No matter how beautiful the scenery was, one would get bored after looking at it for a long time. There were many interesting story lines and quests waiting for them to experience in Brandt Island and Holy Ghost's main world. There was no need for them to spend all their time carrying bricks.
Of course, there were some 'Hamsters', 'Squirrels', and 'Worker Ants' who carried bricks for fun, but these players were the minority.
The final conclusion was …
"It's fine for a week or two. The novelty hasn't worn off, but what about a month or a year later?
It's very likely that the Inner World will become a 'Ghost Suit'. "Director Yin stated his own conclusion.
"That's … impossible. The game developers have created such a realistic world. They should find a way to perfect it!
Hotpot Prince, don't try to trick me. I won't let you have the New World Plaza. "Air Bubble wouldn't be tricked by Manager Yin again.
"Future updates?"
Manager Yin glanced at the cup of black tea that Visser passed to him. He could only smell the fragrance of the tea, but he couldn't taste it. But that wasn't the point …
"Let me put it this way. The purpose of the Inner World isn't to increase the 'gaming experience' of the players. It's to give the players' benefits'." Manager Yin said.
"What do you mean?" Air Bubble frowned and began to think about what Manager Yin was talking about.
"How much did your Blossom Plaza's traffic increase after the Inner World was released?" Manager Yin asked again.
"Three times!
The traffic increased by three times in fifteen days. If Sovereign Descends didn't stab us in the back, it would've been even more!
On the first day, my dad called me and asked, 'Do you have any idea why the traffic in Blossom Plaza has increased so much?' My answer was, 'How the hell would I know?'
But I regret not taking the tickets back then. "
Air Bubble's voice was filled with pride when he mentioned this. There were three reasons why the traffic in Blossom Plaza skyrocketed. First, the holographic projection of the Holy Spirit appeared in Blossom Plaza. Second, the figures of professional players appeared in Blossom Plaza.
The most important reason was … the battle between the players and Thorne was too entertaining!
Nowadays, some elderly people would go to Blossom Plaza to watch martial arts movies in real life. They didn't know what a Holy Spirit was, nor did they know about VR games. They only knew that there was a peerless expert in Blossom Plaza who beat up experts from all walks of life with a tree branch.
This incident was reported several times, which caused the number of visitors in the Blossom Flower Plaza to increase. Bubble was even considering whether to charge a fee to watch Thorne's battle.
"This is the benefit that the Holy Spirit's Inner World gives you. This is the benefit of joining the Holy Spirit Fund. But at the same time, the game gives benefits to other players in the same way. Do you know, Player Zhao?"
"Who doesn't know Master Xiao?
F * ck!
I remember now … This guy comes to our Blossom Plaza every day to eat pizza! "
Bubble suddenly remembered that there were a total of three guardians in the Blossoming Flower Plaza. At this stage, the players couldn't defeat Thorne, so the other players could only watch from the sidelines.
However, the difficulty of the other two guardians was only Hard and Normal. After defeating the guardian of Hard difficulty, he could go to the pizza shop in Blossom Plaza to exchange for a pizza set.
Therefore, Zhao Mingwei stayed in Blossom Plaza during this period, whether it was in the game or in real life.
He was like an internet addict who slept on the streets to surf the net.
When it was time for lunch, he would use the challenge voucher to torture the guardian of Hard difficulty, and then exchange it for a pizza voucher to eat pizza.
"How can you say that? Didn't you pay?" Manager Yin said.
"Yes … I paid. The Holy Spirit Fund paid, but it seems that part of it was my advertising fee?"
Air Bubble was also studying the Holy Spirit Fund. He spent 2.5 million in advertising fees to let Thorne come to Blossom Plaza to guard 630,000.
However, the Holy Spirit officials didn't use the 2.5 million, but gave it back to the players in the form of pizza vouchers, clothing vouchers, and other things.
"This game is too kind. If I ran into the Holy Spirit game when I didn't have money, I would probably cry. Is this game company really not making money?"
Air Bubble probably couldn't experience Zhao Mingwei's life … being penniless and relying on games to barely make a living.
"The Holy Spirit game doesn't need to make money, and its ambition might be bigger than you and I think," Manager Yin suddenly said.
"Ambition, get rid of strife?"
Air Bubble glanced at Manager Yin's live broadcast interface. Sweeping Away Clouds actually forced Feng Yi into a desperate situation with only a quarter of his HP. Although he was also in a desperate situation, the record of one against four was right in front of him.
