Chapter 819 Overseas players’ sense of disobedience

Bian Xiao expected it to be good.

Of these 16 people, 13 are now in Chang'an City.

Only the remaining three had to give up because they had to go back to their hometowns for the New Year.

After all, if you want to mail this omnidirectional treadmill back to your hometown and then mail it back, let alone the price, just disassembling and assembling it will be troublesome.

As for the million-dollar grand prize for the champion, there is indeed hope.

But to say it's very high?

But not necessarily.

Especially the 13 people who skipped the game and are now playing in Chang'an City.

These 13 people all have one thing in common - they are all members of Night City [Fight Club].

And they gave up the game because they were convinced that they couldn't win.

Why can't you win?

Because [Fight Club] participated in the [VR Boxing Championship·Global Championship] and advanced to the stage of 128 to 64, far more than just 13 of them.

Thanks to the frequent confrontations and discussions within [Fight Club], expert players have a very clear understanding of each other's strengths.

After the release of "Tekken", the club also organized players with desert island equipment to conduct a confrontation - the result did not change the comparison of strength in virtual world fighting.

Therefore, these 13 people are very sure: among the remaining 128 contestants, the remaining 31 [Fight Club members], no matter who they encounter, they have a more than 90% chance of losing.

And if you want to defeat them all, advance to the top three and get the bonus, the probability is too slim, almost impossible.

So I didn’t feel bad at all when I gave up.

This group of people is strong enough, and in reality they are basically all practitioners.

It's just that some people study traditional kung fu in martial arts schools, while others find coaches and learn modern fighting.

And there is another thing they have in common, that is, they particularly like fighting with fists and fists.

So after entering Chang'an, most of them looked at the swords on their waists and stuffed them into their equipment boxes.

When the robbers appeared, they also chose to fight with bare hands.

And this is undoubtedly very unwise!

Especially [Boxing Kung Fu·Physique (Entry Level)], apart from a slight increase in physical fitness, it can hardly provide them with any help.

Because their own skills have already exceeded the entry-level assistance level!

The result was that he was seriously injured and fell to the ground without any suspense.

After that, half of them gave up and started using swords according to the system's arrangements. The other half, after entering Chang'an, directly started to contact the forging boss of the [Blacksmith Guild], planning to pick up a pair of metal wrist guards and gauntlets for themselves. Look.

Can you improve your combat effectiveness?

…

After Yunmeng staff noticed the post in the forum, someone was already discussing in the group:

"These people are too stubborn. Why don't we add [Celestial Silkworm Gloves] to the game to block sharp weapons and help them?"

"The problem is that if you add this, it won't just be them, everyone will want it."

"And are you sure they will wear gloves on their hands instead of stuffing them on their chests as breast shields? Or wrapping them around their necks to prevent them from being beheaded?"

"Ah...this..." the proposer fell into deep thought.

"Think about it later, don't think about work today, just relax." Qin Songyun bubbled.

——While the "Tekken" operation team was feeling uncomfortable, the development and operation team of "Chang'an" were cheering.

Sales celebration posters came one after another, the media kept shouting as if they had never seen the world before, and the player online rate increased steadily.

With such great momentum, how could they not be excited?

In the office group, Lin You has started giving out red envelopes again - it's actually Xiao Meng who is giving away red envelopes.

When Lin You and Xiao Meng were lying on the small sofa watching the live broadcast, Xiao Meng would suddenly grab two handfuls of red envelopes with both hands and scatter them happily into the sky.

Then Lin You knew that the sales volume of "Chang'an" had reached one million again.

He was actually a little confused about this.

The game "Chang'an" has a purely ancient Chinese background and sold well in Daxia. This was something he expected.

But for overseas countries, the cultural gap should be very serious.

Unlike previous games, it basically has a modern background and can be brought into the game without any pressure, whether from the East or the West.

However, the background, food, clothing, housing, transportation, culture and history of the Tang Dynasty were all very different from Western culture.

Lin You believes in the quality of the game and has full confidence in sales.

But in his expectation, this should be a relatively slow process.

The first wave brought in players from Daxia, then players from East Asian cultural circles and a small number of Western players. Finally, relying on word of mouth and players’ social circles, all overseas players were brought in on a large scale.

But that's not the case at all now.

"Chang'an" had a large number of overseas players pre-ordering it before it was released on the shelves - Lin You could also understand that these are relatively enthusiastic game enthusiasts, or loyal fans of Yunmeng.

But after its release, the explosion in sales surprised him.

So far, overseas players account for more than half of the sales of "Chang'an"!

This is quite surprising!

He thought about it again and again, and could only think of one reason: probably because of the special nature of this era in the Tang Dynasty.

As the most prosperous dynasty in Chinese history, the "Datang Dynasty" is not a completely unfamiliar era to overseas players.

In particular, the Tang Dynasty around the time of its heyday, Kaiyuan, was almost at the forefront of the world in terms of culture and military, and had a great influence overseas.

So much so that "Tang" became the name for China in overseas countries. Not only was it the name of the country, but everything related to China was called "Tang".

People are naturally "Chinese", and the streets where Chinese people live are the "Great Tang Street". The Great Tang Street has evolved to the present day and is now the famous "Chinatown".

Facing such a prosperous and powerful dynasty, who would not be interested?

Just like the players in Bactria, they will also be very interested in talking about the ancient Roman Empire in its heyday and the most powerful 18th dynasty in ancient Egypt.

They may not be willing to read the corresponding history books, but for a well-made virtual reality game with this background, they will definitely be happy to visit it.

Thinking of this, Lin You rubbed Xiaomeng's head and said, "Show me the situation of overseas anchors."

"Yeah, no problem!"

Xiao Meng waved her hand, and the familiar anchors in front of Lin You were shrunk and moved to one side, while the center was occupied by overseas anchors.

At the very center is the live broadcast room of Ivan Ivanov and Turner.

Probably because they were unfamiliar with the background of the game, the two of them didn't do anything frivolous and just followed the mission plot obediently.

After being persuaded to stay by the second young lady of the Chen family, he also followed him into the Chen Mansion.

But when the second lady asked them about the Jianghu story, both of them were a little confused.

'Jianghu? What is that?'

Guang Yunmeng's translation and annotation of this word made them a little confused.

To Turner, it seems to be a story about a group of knights without knighthood walking among the people, punishing bad people, helping good people, and occasionally fighting and killing each other.

For Ivan, it was even more difficult to understand, "Does it mean... the story of the Cossacks helping the serfs kill bandits?"

With such a serious deviation, it is obviously difficult to tell a good story.

This is not a serious problem. When the development team was designing, they did not expect every player to be a martial arts fan and be able to tell martial arts stories in a coherent manner.

The second young lady's favorability is not only improved by telling stories.

Visiting her often, giving her small gifts, and telling her about the things you encountered in Chang'an City can also increase your favorability.

Just not that fast.

So after stumbling and reluctantly telling a story, the two of them were not allowed to stay overnight by the second lady. After having a meal, they left the Chen Mansion and continued with the rest of the plot.

When Lin You looked over, the two of them had already found their distant uncle and entered the mission line of Jiaofang Division.

Facing the task handed over by the NPC, they took it naturally and followed their uncle into the Jiaofang Division to look for clues.

But Ivan was a little confused when he looked at the annotation written by Yunmeng for [Jiaofangsi]:

"Families of criminal officials? Shouldn't these people be exiled to Siberia to grow potatoes?"

"Can you still live and work in such a luxurious place?"

He looked at the exquisite and gorgeous interior environment of Jiaofangsi and was a little confused.

The profession of "prostitute" was completely legal in Tsarist Russia. Although it is illegal in Russia today, the penalties are light, and there are not a few practitioners, at least millions.

In the environment where Ivan lives, there are not many people who discriminate against custom practitioners.

So when this distant uncle told him about "how miserable women here are", it was really difficult for him to feel sympathy...

Even if Ivan is like this, players from countries such as Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Austria, Greece, etc. where sex trafficking is completely legal will feel even stronger...
