Chapter 227 Slip of the tongue

Chapter 227 Slip of the tongue
No, no.

impossible!
Shen Lun immediately shook his head.

I think it's impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
They've only revealed the games so far; who knows how high they'll ultimately go... Keep in mind that ANF's user base is limited, and most ANF users should have already watched the live stream!
It's quite astonishing that Hearthstone's pre-registration numbers surpassed 100,000 in such a short time.

But it's probably close to its limit!

Without external channels, it's unlikely that ANF users alone can bring these games to the level of FGO!
Correct.

Think of this.

Shen Lun took a deep breath, calmed down, and began to quickly sort out new countermeasures in his mind.

First, we need to speed up the release of "Starry Sky Poems". While ANF's game section is still in its early stages and they are focusing on new games, we should first break through in a genre and force FGO users to leave.

The reason their live stream was so popular is ultimately because of the success of their first game!

There are also all sorts of messy operations!
For example, the live stream of anime-style cute girls right now...

If Jiuxiao's "Starry Sky Poems" is released, turning FGO from unique into just another anime-style mobile game, its advantages will be greatly diminished, and the operation and revenue-generating capabilities of the ANF game section will also be affected.

On the other hand, we need to increase investment in mobile game development.

They've had three games that players loved, so so can Jiuxiao! As long as they release more games faster than ANF, even if the quality is slightly inferior, they can overwhelm the competition with sheer quantity!
And then there's poaching! We absolutely have to bring Avalon's core team over!!
Their game development team!! And their operations team!! Especially the team that put together this live stream featuring anime-style cute girls!

Even if we can't poach the entire team, we should at least poach the core members!
No matter what the cost!
Thinking of this, Shen Lun's eyes sharpened again, and he was about to pick up his phone.

"...That concludes the information on the three new games!"

Hear this.

Shen Lun paused, subconsciously glancing at the live stream screen.

now.

Tang Yao had finished introducing "Fantasy Journey to the West", but the barrage of comments was still dense, and the players' enthusiasm was almost overflowing the screen.

Is it finally over?

Shen Lun had just had this thought.

"Next up is new information about FGO."

As soon as Tang Yao finished speaking, Shen Lun's vision went black again.

No.

New information about FGO?
What's wrong with Avalon? Are you a sow?!
You just announced three new games!!
"FGO Part 1 Chapter 6 is coming soon."

"This time, Masters will travel to 1273, the year of the last Crusade."

"At the same time, this will also be the first singularity in FGO where the Humanity Foundation Value reaches EX."

"You will be moving between the three forces of the Lion King's Round Table, the Old Man of the Mountain, and the Pharaoh, in order to restore order to humanity."

"At the same time, this is also the first time that the story has reached the million-chapter mark."

"This is a story of redemption, and also a story of ordinary people asking God about the meaning of life."

"..."

Studio.

As Tang Yao finished speaking...

The beautiful girl's character illustration has disappeared.

The promotional video has started playing.

The screen went black, then the sounds of bells and howling sand began to rise.

The light of the Holy City will never be extinguished... but those who are abandoned by the light are even deprived of the right to despair.

Accompanied by narration.

The screen appears.

The main characters struggle through the desert, with a sandstorm obscuring the screen.

In the same desert, at the same time, a traveler calling himself 'Lucius' began his journey, carrying the silver arm he obtained from the land of flowers and dreams.

Meanwhile, in the distant palace, the monk Sanzang, holding a tin staff, was bidding farewell to the Knights of the Round Table.

[The holy city of Camelot, the Pure White Lion King is none other than Arthur Pandoragon!]

What we seek is an ideal world completely inviolable by anyone!

Obeying the Lion King's laws and establishing this pure white kingdom is humanity's only way to survive!

As Gawain's arrogant voice rang out.

The Lion King, holding the sacred lance Rungomminiad, stands on the throne in the Holy City.

The silhouettes of the Knights of the Round Table marched in formation, their armor clanging like thunder.

"????"

The comments section looks like this.

It's already blown up.

The screen is full of question marks
and many more.

Wasn't this during the Crusades? How did the Saber appear?

Lionheart? Knights of the Round Table? And Tang Sanzang?
what?
However, the promotional video won't stop just because they're confused.

Soon, the entire promotional video began to speed up.

Refugees crawl in the desert.

Hassan's stealthy raid.

Mash raised her shield to block the beam of light from the Holy Lance.

Arashra draws his bow and charges up.

Various images flashed by one after another.

The promotional video ends with a freeze-frame of the traveler 'Lucius' kneeling on one knee.

The Lionheart removes his helmet and mask, revealing his true face, and wields the Holy Lance like an anchor to a storm tearing through the sky. [I too will remain steadfast in my loyalty to you, my king—]

A calm male voice uttered the final line.

The game logo appeared, along with the title of Chapter Six: [Sixth Singularity, the Realm of the Sacred Round Table, Camelot.]

The actual gameplay footage that viewers had anticipated did not appear.

The promotional video was also ridiculously short.

It hadn't even been three minutes.

However, because there are too many elements presented, the information is dense enough.

The effect is absolutely amazing!

The number of comments skyrocketed!

Shen Lun saw this scene and thought: "..."

At the same time, the promotional video had just finished airing.

The character portrait appears immediately.

Then Tang Yao happily exclaimed, "Done! We're done!"

"?????"

"Hahaha, why do I hear the joy of leaving get off work in your voice?"

"what?"

"No way! Why isn't there any gameplay footage for FGO? And what's the meaning of this promotional video? Isn't it supposed to be about the Crusades? Why are there Knights of the Round Table? I'm really curious!"

"Yes, why don't you tell me? Tell me quickly! I want to know!"

"Ahhh, is the mascot girl finally going to appear in this chapter?! Isn't the Lion King just Artoria from the game's logo?"

"I want to play! But why isn't there any gameplay footage?! I want to see real gameplay!!"

"Yeah, yeah! Don't run away!"

"..."

Viewers had many opinions about Tang Yao's performance.

What's with you teasing me by saying you're leaving get off work?!

Tang Yao saw it and muttered a complaint: "So nagging..."

But in the end, he explained, "There really isn't any actual gameplay footage yet, because the relevant storyline is still in production and the amount of text in this chapter is enormous... In fact, this promotional video was rushed out. If the project team were to create an actual gameplay footage that they could demonstrate, they would be driven crazy."

"That's right, when you gave me the script."

Li Xue chimed in with a laugh, "I think the project manager almost fell off his chair. A whole million words—that's a nightmare for game development..."

This is the truth.

The project manager for FGO almost collapsed after receiving the script...

However, this has nothing to do with Tang Yao.

Nao Kinoko is really good at writing ensemble pieces, but he has one flaw: he tends to lose control of his writing style once he starts... which is certainly a good thing for players.

But for game developers, it's a nightmare.

Many people may not know that the original FGO 1.6 storyline actually cut a lot of the scenes where Richard the Lionheart came to Jerusalem...

Because it's really impossible to incorporate it into the game.

Hear what the two said.

The audience, remembering the three games that had just been unveiled, finally calmed down.

I'm still very curious.

But I can understand it.

And it's a million words...

Upon hearing this number and recalling the promotional video, the audience became even more interested in the plot of the Sixth Singularity.

But soon.

The audience realized what was happening.

The barrage of comments went even more frantically!
