You said you were going to make games, how did you become the richest man without doing anything?

Chapter 471 "Nightless" has received rave reviews from all over the internet! (Two-in-one subscription required)

The continued surge in popularity for "Nightless" has gone beyond the mere sales of the game itself. All sorts of peripheral merchandise has become incredibly popular overnight, with demand exceeding supply.

First, there were officially authorized clothing, figurines, pendants, pencil cases and other physical peripherals. There was a frenzy of buying on Tmall and a certain house’s dedicated channel.

"Dude, you're too slow! That figure sold out in less than 5 seconds! Refresh quickly! New stock has just been restored!"

"Damn, the page won't even open, it's crashed! Aren't the officials prepared for this kind of demand?"

The barrage of comments swept across the market, frequently blocking operations on major platforms and making the shopping experience extremely difficult. Not to mention the furious outbursts of consumers who missed out on the opportunity to buy too late.

Meanwhile, major brick-and-mortar stores were packed with people, with long lines forming outside early. Due to limited supply, retailers had to implement a "threshold policy" requiring a minimum purchase amount to secure limited-edition items. But this didn't dampen the enthusiasm of die-hard fans.

"Please, boss, give me some face! It's just a few hundred thousand dollars worth of goods. I'm going to buy them all. Just give me the most popular model first!"

"I'm so sorry I don't have enough money! Hand it over, and we'll wait in order of numbers. It'll be your turn when the next spot is up."

Even the 90-year-old game company boss was surprised by this:
"On the playground, Grandma Tongtian actually wrestled with other kids just to get an official T-shirt... This game is so popular!"

At the same time, crazy fans also began to cooperate with each other online through image exchange and group purchases, and those risk speculators and "crazy fans" had already set their sights on this business opportunity.

"My luck is so bad I can't control myself! I'm asking for four times the price in cash for the same scent as in 'Never Nights'! Anyone got any extra?"

"I've collected four collection pottery jars today. The prices have increased more than tenfold and will continue to rise rapidly in the near future. You can decide for yourself whether to buy them or not!"

Even those who have never touched the game itself have joined this trend, seemingly with the intention of taking advantage of the opportunity:
"Haha, honey, I just hyped up a few cheap peripherals and made a whopping $100,000! I didn't expect a single-player game to be so popular. It's been a hot seller lately!"

"That's a cool move! I'm going to try and learn from you! I heard someone group-bought a ton of "No Nights" themed T-shirts, planning to hype them up for a few years before selling them gradually!"

In stark contrast to this commercial speculation, there exists a group of die-hard, highly skilled fans of the game. To experience and admire their beloved game world firsthand, they are willing to pay exorbitant prices to scalpers and form alliances to monopolize peripheral sales channels, all in order to amass a complete collection of figurines, ceramics, and other merchandise.

The well-known leader of the "Dragon Roar Cult" once posted his own lineup's peripheral collection on social media: a luxurious room filled with hardcore "Never Nights" peripherals from beginning to end, and even the bathroom was decorated with several large statues of Zhong Wuye! The total cost of such a crazy collection would be at least several million.

"You bunch of poor disciples, I was the one who single-handedly helped No Night Games become a local hit. Now look at how far-sighted I was! Now just wait to make a killing!"

One group of martial arts experts even visited the official theme park in Daqiu Village in Lin'an, Hangzhou, just to collect some authentic game props. They said the realistic scenes, character statues, and technological devices on display there were even more stunning and realistic than the game itself.

"Hehe, this time I finally collected all the game props in the world! I'm waiting for the sequel to Wuye to be released. Who knows, one day these will become rare and out-of-print items, and I can make a fortune by hoarding them."

The internet is awash in this kind of extreme enthusiasm, leaving one stunned and amazed. This relentless enthusiasm is perhaps one of the key reasons for the success of the epic game "Nightless." The power of culture often becomes incredibly powerful and unimaginable through mass fervor.

……

Afterwards, as the game sales expanded, a large number of players gave it positive reviews on rating websites:
I cried. I've loved reading Gu Long and Jin Yong's martial arts novels since I was a kid. The vivid world of Jianghu in the game completely immersed me in the plot. It's definitely a rare masterpiece! The key scenes are brilliant and gorgeous, the plot twists and turns, and the fighting scenes are explosive! A perfect 5 points without a doubt! "

"While the main storyline drags a bit, the open world offers unprecedented freedom and rich content! The encounters, side quests, and treasure map exploration are simply unstoppable. The only flaw is probably a few bugs, but it's truly a top-tier open world title, full marks!"

"The good news is the story is excellent, the bad news is the combat is too difficult! Even though I'm at a high level, I was still mercilessly beaten to tears by the boss. But it's precisely because of this that the game feels challenging and worth all the time I've wasted. I give it 5 stars!"

"As for the graphics, I can only marvel! Wuye has opened up new horizons for me. The various buildings and gardens in the game scenes are absolutely top-notch, recreating the unparalleled beauty of Chinese gardens. Full marks! It's a pity that it hasn't been opened to creative mode, otherwise I would definitely build a private garden."

"The music and voice acting are both excellent! From the theme song to the battle accompaniment, everything is excellent! The actors' singing skills in the plot are also very strong. Listening to the touching lines will make you cry. The No Night team's attention to detail is admirable. All 5 points!" "Although the game experience is good, there are also many flaws, such as the equipment interface is too cluttered, the task is difficult to view, the loading time is too long, etc. These are all areas that need to be optimized. Of course, such a large open world is bound to have shortcomings, but the overall performance is already very good. I give it a 4!"

"The combat between immortals and Buddhas is so satisfying! I pulled all-nighters before finally completing it. The feeling of climbing from a small swordsman to a great figure in Tianlong is incredibly exciting! The various magical powers and skills are omnipotent, and the movements are so smooth and coherent that they are amazing. Full marks, nothing much to say."

"Watching the live streamers get hooked on the game's melodramatic plot, I was also eager to try it. I didn't expect to be so addicted the moment I started playing. It's a god-level experience! The quests and plot flow perfectly, making it thought-provoking and worth savoring and pondering. A perfect score for me."

"Each character's characterization and personality are well-placed, and the sense of immersion and identification is extremely strong! The main plot is a bit too convoluted, requiring repeated review of the cause and effect, but it's not a major flaw. Overall, it's a masterpiece. 4.8 points!"

This game not only builds a vast and detailed open world, but also achieves the greatest breakthrough in the depth and pacing of the story.

From the meticulously crafted novel-like script to the distinct character developments, and the seamless integration of side quests into the main storyline, every detail is meticulously crafted, as if by a master of literature. Even a masterpiece like Dark Souls, often revered as a masterpiece, pales in comparison to Nevernight in terms of storytelling depth and complexity.

Beyond the relentless main storyline, a wealth of intriguing side quests, Easter eggs, and story moments are scattered throughout the open world, weaving a dense and intricate web of plot that permeates the entire gaming experience.

Positive title: "Nightless" is an unimaginable technological innovation that breaks through the last line of defense of virtual and real experience

Positive reviews:
Nightless is more than just an excellent single-player game; it's a groundbreaking technological experiment, a breakthrough in connecting gaming with reality. The somatosensory pod version undoubtedly elevates the immersive experience of virtual reality gaming to a whole new level.

The concept of "totally immersing oneself in the game world," long considered too theoretical and unattainable, is finally perfectly embodied and realized in this title. Not only can VR immerse players in the magnificent and dreamlike world of Xianxia, ​​but they can also truly experience the immersive presence of every detail, such as the heaviness of the sword in hand, the winding mountain path beneath their feet, and the brilliant stars and moonlight in the vast sky.

All of this is thanks to the development team's unwavering devotion to technology. They achieved extreme data compression, syncing rich imagery, physics data, and artificial intelligence into the pod. They also designed a new somatosensory feedback control device, significantly enhancing the sense of immersion and presence. I was particularly struck by the sheer fidelity of the strikes and feedback, as if I were immersed in a real-life combat arena.
