After playing to this point, the game livestream on the second day of the exhibition finally came to an end.
G-chan stretched and said in the livestream:
"Everyone, my trial livestream ends here. If you want to personally conquer girls by playing cards or win the national championship of Peach Blossom Spring Battle Cards, please experience it yourself when the game is released."
At this moment, the livestream's comment section was filled with expressions of lingering interest.
"Damn, this game is too intoxicating! We ordinary mortals can't wait to become sea kings... oh no, to play cards!"
"Oh my god! G-chan, you bad woman, why did you end it? Give us more福利 (fan service)!"
"Damn, the girls in the Peach Blossom Spring game are all so wild, especially that Jessica senpai (upperclassman), so hot!"
"I still firmly support Elena!"
"Alright, alright, you guys go fight over them. I'm taking Yuko as my wife, oh ho ho ho!"
"In terms of sensory stimulation in VR games, this game can definitely be on the list! My reasons for playing cards have increased again, hehe..."
At this moment, not only the players in the livestream but even the Japanese players watching at the game show became frenzied.
As G-chan's livestream ended, the Peach Blossom Spring booth suddenly became bustling and lively.
Players who were initially driven by curiosity to approach the booth were all attracted to the game after seeing the livestream projected on the screen.
"The graphics of this game are so cool!"
The boys exclaimed, their eyes fixed on the beautiful girl characters wearing gorgeous kimonos on the screen.
"Not only that, but this card battle system is also very interesting! Chuuni (endearing Japanese slang for someone with delusions of grandeur) and passionate, I like it!" his friend echoed.
Soon, they joined the long queue to try the game.
The staff had to busy themselves handing out VR headsets and controllers, explaining the game system and operating instructions to the players in line.
Before long, cheers came from the booth as the trial progressed.
"It's so爽 (satisfying)! Although it's just the beginning, the pleasure of playing cards is already making me addicted!"
"I chose Elena, her combat power is so strong!"
"Dr. Chen Nana's figure is too hot, I want to pursue her!"
The players' excitement quickly infected the surrounding crowd. More people were attracted and joined the queue.
Some people stood aside, watching other people's gameplay with great interest through the monitors above the display screen.
The scene was hot and noisy, full of enthusiastic praise and anticipation for this new game!
...
Seeing the booth's popularity soaring, Liu Mengyuan decisively struck while the iron was hot and found Li Hongmei: "Sister Li, how is the joint exhibition plan with Youyi Company that President Lu promised progressing?"
Li Hongmei nodded: "Everything is ready, just waiting for the two presidents to make a decision."
Liu Mengyuan nodded: "That timing must be now!"
After that, the staff of the Peach Blossom Spring booth seized the opportunity and launched a joint exhibition with the game company.
First, the advanced technology demonstration segment~
Peach Blossom Spring announced that it would showcase the latest VR technology developed by Peach Blossom Spring and perfectly integrate it into Youyi Paradise's games.
This technology instantly attracted the attention of a large number of viewers.
With the staff's operation, the booth scene instantly changed. The first thing that attracted everyone's attention was the fantastic scene that flashed on the huge holographic screen.
A group of beautiful girls in gorgeous kimonos walked gracefully under blooming cherry blossom trees, each movement seemed to leap off the page.
In their hands were uniquely styled gorgeous cards, and the suits of playing cards floated in the ethereal smoke. With their steps, bizarre shadows flowed and bloomed on the screen, sometimes turning into flames spreading out, and sometimes condensing into sharp blades stabbing at opponents.
Soon, more praise and whispers spread among the crowd.
The VR images became more and more exquisite, and even the air seemed to be filled with a strong fighting spirit.
On the screen, gorgeous magic circles rotated and flickered, and colorful rays of light intertwined into dazzling ripples. The card battles of the beautiful girls gradually reached a climax.
At this moment, the holographic image suddenly changed.
A virtual starry sky scene instantly appeared in front of them, with large and small planets orbiting, and some were wrapped in brilliant nebulae. Soon, a strong light burst out from the depths of the nebula, shaking and changing the picture along with it. The image became more and more grand, as if it was deducing the boundless and infinite universe.
"This game will be equipped with the latest technology jointly developed with Youyi Paradise to bring you a revolutionary gaming experience."
Soon, there was another burst of exclamations and murmurs on the scene.
"I'm afraid I'm going to be addicted to this VR world and can't get out!"
"Youyi Paradise is a Chinese manufacturer, and the rendering power of the game console technology is so strong. It seems that my money will be spent on VR games!"
More players were aroused by this unprecedented ultimate gaming experience, and the long-awaited crowd was eager to try it out immediately.
At this moment, the Peach Blossom Spring staff neatly pushed a VR game console to the front desk, and in a moment, they set up several experience areas. Seeing this, the crowd surged forward, instantly surrounding the space in front of the booth.
Waves of enthusiastic shouts rose and fell in the crowd. When the equipment was finally distributed, many people couldn't wait to put on VR headsets and duel disks.
Soon, various intense actions were staged in the experience area. Some players waved their arms in fierce battles, their expressions focused; some players glanced at Jessica and other beautiful girls and made endless reveries; and some players praised the game's cool special effects, their faces full of childlike smiles.
In a place slightly farther away from the experience area, a large number of viewers who had no chance to experience it gathered, they could only watch from a distance, whispering to each other impatiently.
The lively atmosphere of the entire scene was constantly pushed to new heights in the midst of laughter, scolding, and cursing. The space in front of the booth was almost already overcrowded. Even the distant exit was crowded with curious pedestrians who wanted to see the true face up close, even if they could only watch from a distance, they were still reluctant to leave easily.
...
Just as things were in full swing, the side door of the booth's stage was suddenly pushed open! A group of well-dressed people holding flowers, bathed in the flashing lights of the crowd, slowly entered the venue.
The leading figures were obviously internationally renowned top game developers, followed by many well-known internet celebrities, each with a happy expression, waving to the flashing lights.
Soon, these superstars were escorted to the stage by the staff, and cordially greeted the senior executives of Peach Blossom Spring and Youyi.
This was exactly the many internationally renowned game developers and internet celebrities that Peach Blossom Spring had contacted to support this joint cooperation between Peach Blossom Spring and Youyi, and the popularity of the booth soared to the highest!
...
However, at this moment, a line of large characters lit up on the screen in front of the booth:
"one more!"
After that, the game began to play a new promotional video:
"To give back to fans, all game IPs of Peach Blossom Spring since its establishment have entered this game"
From "NekoPara Adventure", to "My Leisurely Island Life", "Carefree Trash-Talking Life", to the latest "Final Gear", "Bizarre Little Country Simulator", "The Strongest Crosstalk Master", all participate!
Guo Degang, Mobutu, Kitahara Kensuke, Illya, Blue White Princess, Yanagishita Igarashi appeared on the screen in turn...
They will gather in the same worldview and start a card brawl!
The fans who came to the scene burst into cheers!
...
However, before their emotions could subside, a new promotional video was played at the exhibition.
Just as the atmosphere at the scene reached a fever pitch, a dazzling light suddenly appeared on the huge holographic screen of the booth.
"The duel disk specially developed by Peach Blossom Spring will help you win every battle"
Soon, a clear image began to flow on the screen: a handsome young man in a war robe suddenly opened his eyes in the darkness, his sharp eyes seemed to pierce through the void.
"My turn, draw card!" The young man waved his arm violently, his facial features twisted with excitement.
Accompanied by his firm and powerful voice, a beam of light shot out from the duel disk on his hand, and then turned into a huge card floating in the void. The camera gradually zoomed in, and it turned out to be a cool monster card that could move, and the lifelike pattern made people feel a surge of fighting spirit.
"Summon, Battle Robot - Photon Intelligence!"
The young man shouted again with great pride, and flicked his arm hard.
A beam of dazzling light instantly spewed out from the card slot of the duel disk, like a rocket soaring into the sky, and suddenly exploded in mid-air. The firelight dissipated, replaced by a huge and ferocious intelligent warrior.
"Armor Upgrade - Noise Rock!"
Then, the young man manipulated the wristband again and released a new card.
This card was like a heavy metal band, passionately galloping under heavy drum beats, and what was endless was the harsh noise and electronic music.
At the same time, the intelligent warrior was repeatedly hit by invisible sound waves, the machine gradually covered by sound waves, the original complete and seamless metal shell began to appear strange distortions, and even the coating showed dazzling neon colors.
"Eject Sonic Boom, Destroy Everything!"
Soon, the camera of the promotional video turned and focused on the trendy "Duel Disk".
The mechanical wristband with a strong sense of technology, the bright metal panel is inlaid with a precision display terminal. It realizes the magical picture of the card appearance through some unknown networking technology.
"What is the most powerful weapon of Taoyuan Township TCG? Of course, it is the duel disk that we have persisted for many years!" A childish girl's voice narrated in the narration.
"Players only need to install this cool duel disk on their arms, and match it with the special card pool we provide, they can fully connect with the VR game and have a happy duel in the online virtual world!"
"Not only that, friends can also play the card game in reality. At that time, the duel disk will be transformed into a professional referee and scorer, and all the details of the battle are under control!"
In conjunction with the girl's delicate voice, the camera continued to zoom in and change angles, showing all the magic of the duel disk one by one. It can be seen that it has flexible hardware interfaces and elastic detachable slots everywhere, which seem to be able to expand more cool accessories at any time.
Accompanied by the girl's words, the picture immediately changed and showed the scene of the demonstration area. A student girl in school uniform was excitedly installing a brand new "dazzling light strip".
"Here we go, I activate the card effect, the great warrior appears!"
As soon as the voice fell, the girl waved her arms back and forth, making an exaggerated card-issuing gesture.
At the same time, the dazzling light strip installed on the wristband suddenly flickered, and the dazzling LED lights rose and fell, like a marquee, bursting out with colorful colors.
"But what's even cooler is" The girl changed her voice and showed another expansion accessory: "We also cooperated with Harman Kardon, a top audio manufacturer, to launch an audio module that can be installed on the duel disk!"
It can be seen that there is a ring-shaped audio shell on the wristband on her hand. When she stepped on the heavy beat and said "My turn, draw card!", the surrounding speakers suddenly released the exciting card drawing animation sound effect, as if really being in a hot-blooded card duel.
Before the words were finished, the girl was wrapped in a breeze 360°, and her hair, skirt, and fluffy fabric under the pleated skirt were all swaying in the air in bursts of air currents. Even if the audience under the stage was full, obviously crowded, but they could feel such a realistic surround air flow, which was really amazing.
"Now you know the magic of accessories!" The girl turned around and smiled charmingly at the camera, "Thanks to the marquee, speakers and micro fans, my dueling aura is a hundred times wilder than you guessed!"
...
The players at the scene boiled again!
"Damn, I want that light strip!"
"I never thought of using a fan on the duel disk to realize automatic wind, Taoyuan Township is too genius?"
...
After that, at the end of the game promotional video, the charging strategy of Taoyuan Township Battle Card was updated:
The game software is completely free!
The duel disk is only priced at 599 yuan.
If you want to play more tricks, players need to purchase the "expansion pack".
Moreover, the official does not set up an in-app purchase mall, players can only purchase expansion packs offline!
In addition, each battle card produced by Taoyuan Township has a built-in NFC sensor chip. Players can directly put the physical card on the duel disk for online VR duels!
This series of measures made the players at the scene cheer again!
"Damn! Damn! The game itself is completely free to download?"
"Taoyuan Township is doing charity."
"Taoyuan Township, you are our new dad!"
...
While the cheers of the Taoyuan Township booth were endless, what caught the eye was the bleak scene on the booths of Pokemon and Konami.
These two well-known manufacturers in the industry were almost empty. The staff was gathering in front of the monitor, staring at the news live broadcast on the screen in disbelief.
The live broadcast was showing all the exciting moments from the Peach Blossom Spring booth – the dazzling light show, the adrenaline-pumping VR experience area, the captivating promotional video, and a series of super-accessible marketing measures that were "making players' blood boil."
"Seriously, what kind of 'accessible' is this?!" A Pokémon Company employee watched in stunned silence, nearly jumping out of his chair. "The game itself is free? The duel disk is 599 RMB? Are they trying to lose a fortune?!"
"Exactly!" A Konami colleague next to him chimed in, equally agitated. "And this sell-sell-sell offline expansion pack model... how much money would you have to spend to collect all the card sets? I suspect these little bastards are scamming people!"
Another person said guiltily, "As if we aren't doing the same."
"Foolish! Too foolish!" The Pokémon supervisor next to him was practically pounding the table in rage.
Losing control, he slammed his paper cup onto the ground, splashing coffee everywhere. Soon, the entire area was in an uproar, with staff members talking over each other, faces grim, and voices unrestrained.
"Damn it, I think these guys are absolutely courting death!" A Konami supervisor suddenly roared.
"Why do established companies like us have to survive by losing money? We have years of reputation and strength! I really can't stand it!"
"We should warn them, make them understand what it means to respect competitors!" Another Pokémon employee, equally emotional, echoed loudly. "They think they can monopolize the market with these low prices? They're dreaming! This kind of newbie company is doomed to fail!"
...
And it wasn't just these two companies that were breaking down; the Longteng Group and Pei Shengnan were also feeling the pressure!
