Game of the World Tree - Chapter 9

9. Chapter 9 Hot Promotional Video

Li Mu, male, 22 years old, with ordinary looks and ordinary family background, is an ordinary Chinese college student.

However, he has another identity – a virtual reality game anchor.

Since virtual reality games became popular all over the world two years ago, he joined the anchor army as he loves games and live broadcasts. With his good eloquence and jokes, he has made a small income.

However, unlike many single game anchors, he focuses on the evaluation of various virtual reality games. In his words, although there are endless virtual games that are becoming more and more exciting, there is no one that can really surprise him and make him willing to play all the time…

In the industry, he also has a nickname “the king of nitpicking”, which specializes in picking problems in various virtual games.

In fact, this is also normal.

Although the virtual reality network has been fully developed in recent years, and the submersible cabin has long entered the homes of many ordinary people, the performance of most virtual engines on the market is still too poor, and there are always various ridiculous bugs when playing games.

And Li Mu is finding such bugs to make the audience laugh.

Sitting in front of the computer, making himself a cup of instant coffee, Li Mu opened his anchor background.

“The new issue of “Xiao Mu Review” is about to find a target.”

Looking at the data on the background, he sighed.

Recently, the quality of various newly released games is too poor, so poor that even he doesn’t want to do reviews.

This is also because virtual reality has allowed many people to see business opportunities, and all kinds of monsters have squeezed in to develop games, but due to technical limitations, the quality of games produced by many companies is terrible…

Li Mu is also a well-known anchor. He doesn’t like those rubbish games. He only likes those big games that burn money!

After all, finding bugs in big games is a sense of accomplishment!

“I haven’t been online for a week. Let’s see what new works are on the platform!”

While humming a little tune, Li Mu clicked on the virtual game recommendation platform website.

His eyes swept over the advertisements one by one, but he didn’t pause at all.

“Another fairy tale? Has this theme been overused? Tsk tsk, another cheap special effect…”

“Shooting? Hmm… not bad, but there are already many good works… and I also did this type in the previous issues, I want to change the taste this time…”

“Beautiful girl training? Hehehe… this is good… not bad… no no, I don’t want to be banned yet.”

He browsed the game ads and talked to himself.

“Huh?”

Suddenly, his movements paused, and the mouse stopped on an ad.

“Elf Kingdom?”

It was an inconspicuous ad, with a towering world tree on the cover, and a beautiful and holy blonde elf was praying to the world tree with her eyes closed.

Although the elf girl on the cover was very beautiful, in the vast number of virtual game ads, such a cover is at most excellent.

After all, the cover is a face, who can’t make a good-looking cover! And there are too many covers that don’t match the real thing…

Li Mu never believed in the cover, and this time, it was not the cover that attracted him, but the number of clicks on this game ad.

“What the hell is three million hits? Did you buy it on Taobao?”

What surprised him was that this ad had only been released for two days, but it had as many as three million hits!

Once curiosity arises, it can’t be suppressed.

He took a sip of coffee and clicked on the ad.

Like many ads, this ad only had a promotional video and a pre-order link for the game. What surprised Li Mu was that the number of comments below exceeded ten thousand.

This is not common on virtual game platform websites!

He didn’t click on the promotional video directly, but first glanced at the comments.

“Demacia: Damn! Did the developer invite a film company to do the promotion? Is the budget going to explode!”

This is the comment with the most likes.

Fantasy?

Li Mu raised his eyebrows.

This theme has declined in China now, right? The most unpopular among the unpopular. It’s quite popular in Europe and the United States…

He immediately lost most of his interest, but because he was really bored, he continued to watch it.

“African European Emperor: Magic online games have long been lost in China. If this game can become popular, I will eat shit on live broadcast.”

This is the second hot comment, and judging by the number of likes, it seems to be on the trend of surpassing the first hot comment.

“Puff…”

Li Mu couldn’t help laughing out loud.

These days, some people just like to cheat for food and drink.

He clicked a like, and then scrolled down –

“Attack of Leg Hair: Thought acceleration technology? It looks so high-end. But does this thing really exist?”

This is the third hot comment.

Thought acceleration technology?

Li Mu was slightly stunned.

What is this? It seems that I have never heard of it?

He carefully read the comments, and then was surprised to find that it seemed to be a new technology mentioned by the developer in the game introduction, which is said to enable players to think faster in the virtual world.

One hour in the game world, one quarter of an hour in the real world!

In other words, it can allow players to have more sensory game time!

So cool? You are not exaggerating, right? Could it be made by a big boss in the industry? Pain News or Wangyi?

Li Mu curled his lips, very suspicious, and then glanced at the name of the developer.

“World Tree Black Technology Co., Ltd.”

His expression was a little bewildered.

What kind of company is this? I’ve never heard of it before…

“Isn’t it another small company that brags about itself?”

Li Mu frowned, feeling a little disgusted.

Nowadays, Internet companies always want to make big news all day long, regardless of their own weight…

Li Mu shook his head, and almost decided that this was probably another gimmick to gain popularity.

However, thinking of the 3 million hits, he decided to take a look at the promotional video.

“Let’s take a look at the promotional video! It seems that the evaluation of the promotional video is not bad.”

He clicked lightly, and the screen entered the interface of the promotional video…

As it played, the computer screen suddenly went dark.

Li Mu took a sip of coffee and began to watch it casually.

With the ethereal singing, the picture gradually brightened.

The first thing that caught his eye was a towering world tree…

The camera gradually zoomed out with the world tree as the center, and gorgeous cities appeared in front of Li Mu’s eyes. Elegant and beautiful elves shuttled through the green city, talking and laughing, showing a real picture of elf civilization…

At first, Li Mu was a little absent-minded, but soon, he was attracted by the constantly changing scenes.

The magical and pleasant scenery, the magnificent and unique city, the elegant and noble elves, accompanied by the cheerful and beautiful background music, made him feel like he was there.

A pleasant female voice slowly sounded and began to tell the story of the world tree and the elves on the continent of Seges…

“It’s interesting, it’s quite real, the scenery is great, the character models are also very detailed, and the movements are very smooth. And what is the BGM? It’s really nice, but it seems like I’ve never heard it before…”

Li Mu couldn’t help but exclaimed.

Let’s not talk about how the game is, this opening animation is really detailed and realistic!

Gradually, Li Mu became serious.

The story continues…

The powerful force endowed the elves with a brilliant civilization, but at the same time, it also led to arrogance and pride.

Abundance and abundance finally ushered in covetousness.

The power of conspiracy continued to gather, and finally led to a crisis.

Suddenly, the picture changed, and the golden light illuminated the sky. Accompanied by the sacred chanting and roaring, a series of tall and vague figures appeared.

The war began.

Then, lava fell from the sky, mountains collapsed and the ground cracked. Countless sacred angels of faith fought with the huge oak guards. The originally peaceful scenery turned into a heroic battlefield…

Cruel fighting, gorgeous magic, spilled blood, magnificent miracles…

One picture after another complemented each other, and the tragic and cool scenes were matched with the ethereal, majestic and tragic background music, which made Li Mu’s eyes widen, his blood boiled, and he couldn’t help but exclaim “Wow”.

While he was amazed by the wonderful special effects, he also felt a little worried and sympathetic for the elves from the bottom of his heart.

Li Mu was even more fascinated.

At the end of the war, it was the dispute among the gods. Under the attack of countless divine arts, the luxuriant world tree finally came to an end, withered and decayed…

Amidst the cries of pain, the civilization of the elves became history…

Accompanied by the ethereal and sad singing, the picture fell into darkness.

The sad and moving music began to echo.

Li Mu, who was completely immersed in it, also unconsciously let out a long sigh, and unexpectedly had a resonance:

“Born in sorrow, die in comfort… This is the rise and fall of civilization…”

After a moment, the picture changed again.

A beautiful elf girl appeared in the picture.

She was wearing a gorgeous sacrificial dress, kneeling in the ruined natural temple, and praying to the statue with tears in her eyes…

As the girl prayed, the ethereal singing gradually reached a climax. Finally, in the last chant, a deafening bell sounded!

The statue flickered slightly…

The picture went dark again, and all sounds fell silent.

A few seconds later, lines of majestic and artistic characters appeared on the screen:

“The magical thinking acceleration technology allows you to enjoy the game world!”

“Intelligent AI brings you an unprecedented gaming experience!”

“Create the most realistic, heavy, immersive and freest epic magic in history!”

“On June 1, the virtual reality online game “Elf Kingdom” will officially start the open beta test! Welcome to sign up!”

“Elf Kingdom – waiting for your salvation!”

The promotional video ends here.

Li Mu was stunned, as if he had not recovered from the shock of the battle scene just now.

After a moment, he pinched his thigh:

“Fuck! How much money did it cost to make up the story and make special effects!”

Please recommend! Please collect!
