#349 - Sales surpassed! All players on the Internet are addicted to fighting zombies, Fan Langtao br
Game Hint: [Objective updated, gather all survivors within Osaka City]
As evening approached, survivors quickly began arriving from outside.
However, due to sumo zombies blocking the entrance, these survivors couldn't reach the top floor via the stairs.
To facilitate their entry, G-chan improvised, creating a rope ladder using the hemp ropes from the display cases.
However, Kensuke analyzed that as the survivors climbed the rope ladder from the outside, many zombies might also climb the outer walls of the castle tower, requiring them to shoot at them.
Game Hint: [Castle Tower Defense Mode Activated]
[Pre-Battle Deployment]
You need to command the members of the Doomsday Defense Line to set up defense points on various platforms of the castle tower, including firepower points, sniper points, rescue points, etc.
You need to rationally allocate the firearms and ammunition you have. Each defense point has different shooting angles and ranges. You need to carefully observe the zombies' attack patterns and choose the best positions for shooting.
[Zombie Onslaught]
As the survivors begin to climb the rope ladder, waves of zombies will constantly attack the player. Each wave of attacks will be stronger and denser than the last.
You need to communicate through the team communication system during the lulls in the zombie attacks, adjust defensive strategies, and support each other.
[Special Events and Challenges]
During the tower defense battle, various special events and challenges may occur, such as the appearance of special zombies, the impact of severe weather, etc.
You need to adjust your tactical strategies in a timely manner to ensure the safety of the tower defense. At the same time, special events will also bring generous rewards, and you can seize the opportunity to obtain more resources and equipment.
……
Seeing these gameplay instructions, the live broadcast chat was shocked:
"Holy crap, I thought this game was just a simple linear level game, but I didn't expect the gameplay to be so rich?"
"Tower defense players are ecstatic!"
As night fell, the siege officially began!
G-chan gradually lit up the lights on the top floor of the castle tower, illuminating the night sky of Osaka City.
On the streets below, zombies began to gather, emitting low howls, like whispers from the depths of hell. Their figures appeared twisted and eerie in the light. As they approached the castle tower, a strong stench of decay permeated the air.
Under the moonlight, these distorted figures climbed up the outline of the castle tower, filling this ancient Japanese Sengoku period building with a different kind of eerie beauty.
Although the zombies' climbing speed was slow, their numbers were astonishing, like an endless tide constantly flowing upstream.
G-chan had already made tactical arrangements, setting up 10 firepower points and more rescue points on the top floor.
"Don't waste bullets now. Wait until they get close enough to shoot. That way, they'll knock down many of their companions with them."
G-chan raised her hand, observing the tranquil night sky, filled with the calm before the storm.
When the front row of zombies climbed to within 5 meters of the firing range, she suddenly lowered her arm: "Fire!"
She quickly aimed the crosshairs at a zombie and fired, accurately hitting its head and knocking it down.
But more zombies had already surged up.
The other firepower point members continuously pulled the triggers, emitting ear-piercing gunshots.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Da da da da da da…
The gun muzzles spat fire, each bullet like the scythe of the Grim Reaper, ruthlessly severing the zombies' lives.
G-chan's finger was tightly on the trigger, sweat soaking her clothes, and the firing rate became faster and faster. The number of zombies falling from the building increased.
As the battle progressed, the ancient castle walls of the castle tower gradually became covered with bloodstained marks, and the zombies' corpses began to pile up at the foot of the wall, forming bloody mountains of corpses.
The chat was filled with exclamations:
"Holy crap! This exciting scene is already thrilling just watching the streamer play. It's hard to imagine how awesome it would be to play in VR!"
"Stop talking. I'm ordering Paradise Roaming now!"
Just when everyone thought everything would go smoothly,
Suddenly!
The night sky suddenly became overcast, with thunder and lightning, and torrential rain poured down.
G-chan clicked her tongue: "This is probably a random event!"
G-chan and her teammates had to persevere in defense in the heavy rain, their vision blurred, and the firearms became difficult to operate.
Boom!
A bolt of lightning struck the castle tower, and a wooden platform at a certain firepower point burst into flames, requiring timely fire extinguishing.
G-chan observed the sky. Each time lightning struck a platform, there would be a warning prompt on the cloud's position.
She began to use the communication channel to dynamically adjust her teammates' deployment.
Originally, she had to adjust according to the zombies, but now she also needed to consider lightning and weather, making it more difficult.
However, G-chan became more and more excited as she played:
"Paradise Roaming is awesome. This difficulty is hardcore. I like it hahahahaha. This is a real FPS masterpiece!"
Finally, after several hours of fierce fighting, the zombie attacks became sparse.
G-chan and her teammates breathed a sigh of relief.
One of the men whistled: "The zombies in Osaka are nothing more than this. They're not even as good as the ones in Nagasaki!"
As soon as he finished speaking, suddenly—
Crack! A crisp sound rang out, and a crescent-shaped silver blade flashed, splitting the man in half.
"Ahhhhhhhh!"
The women screamed in fright.
A zombie wielding a silver samurai sword was now standing behind the man.
This zombie was tall and wore Japanese Sengoku period samurai armor. The armor was covered with ancient runes, shimmering with a faint silver light.
Beneath its iron mask were empty eye sockets.
Boom!
As the lightning illuminated it, the blade of the samurai sword reflected a strange light, like will-o'-the-wisps flickering in the darkness.
In the howling of the storm, it slowly stepped forward, each step seeming to tread on the survivors' hearts.
Shimazaki Kazuya was shocked: "Damn it, how could there be such a zombie?"
Haneda Jiro analyzed:
"Perhaps at the moment of the virus outbreak, the castle tower was holding a samurai performance. This person, as a martial artist, was invited to participate and then became a zombie.
The reason it can use a sword now is probably because of the instinctive muscle memory formed in its lifetime."
The chat was shocked: "Damn, there are sumo zombies with immense strength and samurai zombies. Is it that exciting?"
Several men, out of extreme fear, raised their submachine guns and frantically fired at the samurai zombie.
"Bastard, die!"
Clang!
Clang!
Clang!
The bullets hit the opponent's heavy armor, sparking a large amount of sparks, but they couldn't break through the defense at all.
Despair began to envelop everyone's hearts.
At the critical moment, G-chan glimpsed a set of red samurai armor in the display cabinet, rumored to be the armor Toyotomi Hideyoshi used to wear.
She had a flash of inspiration, manipulated Kensuke, smashed the cabinet, put on the red battle armor, and raised the samurai sword.
The live broadcast audience was surprised to see G-chan raise the battle sword.
The peripheral handle, originally shaped like a firearm, had various internal mechanisms operating. After reassembling and transforming, it became a cyberpunk battle sword full of mechanical beauty!
The chat was shocked:
"What??? What!!! Can it be like this?!"
"Is this the correct way to use this peripheral handle?"
"So handsome. I'm going to order this handle now!"
Game Hint:
[Operation logic has been switched to action mode]
G-chan gripped the samurai sword, her eyes firm, and both sides launched a charge at the same time!
The two figures intertwined like lightning. G-chan's battle sword turned into a silver streamer, colliding with the samurai zombie's long sword, making an ear-piercing metallic collision sound.
Clang!
G-chan's figure slid back more than three meters before stopping.
The samurai zombie's power was far beyond imagination. Each swing of the sword carried an astonishing force, with wide and open movements.
The violent vibration from the VR device made her tiger's mouth ache.
It seems she can't fight head-on…
G-chan's figure was agile, sometimes dodging sideways, sometimes rushing forward to counterattack. Each swing of the sword was full of skill and speed, specially picking tricky angles to stab the sword into the gaps in the armor.
Soon, this subtle, bleeding-style play made the samurai zombie roar in anger:
"Roar!!!!!!!!!"
The samurai zombie suddenly intensified its attacks, and the offensive was like a storm, tirelessly attacking.
Suddenly!
It launched a fierce horizontal slash from the side. G-chan couldn't dodge in time, and the blade slashed a bloody mark, instantly staining the battle armor red.
The different-dimensional tactile gel suit conveyed a burst of simulated pain, G-chan gritted her teeth, used the battle sword to block the samurai zombie's horizontal slash, and at the same time performed a low-altitude somersault to avoid a fatal blow!
The live broadcast chat exclaimed: "Go, Little Meatbun, you're awesome!"
The samurai zombie suddenly changed its tactics. Its body merged into the darkness behind it, appearing and disappearing, making it difficult for G-chan to capture its figure.
The latest novels are first published at 6|9|book|bar!
Clang!
It constantly launched sneak attacks from the darkness of the night, retreating into the darkness again after a successful strike.
G-chan frowned slightly.
At this time, she must remain calm and not be deceived by the opponent's tricks.
She closed her eyes, gathered all her attention, and felt the samurai zombie's aura.
The Paradise Roaming VR device constantly simulated the scene environment and the bloody aura on the samurai zombie's body through a real-time interactive simulation system.
"It's here!"
G-chan suddenly opened her eyes and slashed at the void on the left.
The sword light flickered, and the fighting spirit was awe-inspiring!
"Roar…"
With a wail, the samurai zombie's figure was hit by the battle sword, the darkness dissipated, and its body reappeared in front of G-chan.
Without hesitation, G-chan raised the battle sword, rushed forward, and with a sharp slash, directly cut off the opponent's head!
As the head rolled, the howling of the storm gradually disappeared, and the castle tower returned to tranquility.
At this time, not only the survivors on the scene were stunned by Kensuke's figure, but the live broadcast audience was also deeply shocked by this scene and forgot to send barrages.
After a while, they reacted, and the barrages began to flood the screen:
"G-chan's operation is a bit something. She's simply a female knight among female knights!"
"Holy crap, this battle scene is so damn exciting. I feel like I'm fighting with the samurai zombie too!"
"Paradise Roaming is awesome. I thought it was just a simple FPS game, but it also comes with tower defense and action gameplay. It's like spending one price and getting three times the fun!"
After finishing this BOSS battle, G-chan took off the VR headset.
"Everyone, I'm a little tired from playing. I have to take a break. That's all for today's live broadcast."
By the time G-chan went offline, the popularity of the live broadcast had reached 3 million, and it had also been featured on Paradise Lightyear's homepage live broadcast recommendation.
Many players did not leave the live broadcast room. Too excited, they were still discussing and spamming the screen in the live broadcast room:
"I went, this live broadcast opened my eyes. There are so many tricks to fighting zombies. The playability of this game is really unquestionable!"
"I also want to wear Toyotomi Hideyoshi's armor and slash zombies on the top floor of the castle tower. This is the fully immersive game I want!"
"Every time I watch a live broadcast of a new Paradise Roaming game, it's an absolutely shocking spiritual journey and visual feast!"
"In terms of plot, the character of Kitahara Kensuke is very well portrayed. He's not the kind of perfect protagonist, but I like him very much. The shooting system goes without saying. Just the battle at the castle tower alone is enough to have a blast fighting zombies!"
"Paradise Roaming Daddy, I admit I wronged you before. It turns out your previous low-key promotion was a sign of sufficient confidence!"
"That's right! It's not that Youyi's 'Wilderness Survival: Redemption' can't do good promotion, but they simply disdain to do it! This is the real game overlord that looks down on the world!"
As the audience watching the live broadcast raved about the game, game live broadcast clips of 'Doomsday Defense Line' began to spread across the Internet at viral speed.
Soon, in addition to video clips, secondary creations and various discussion videos on major platforms also began to spring up like mushrooms:
"[Strategy] Complete Strategy for the Castle Tower Defense Battle! Master Shooting and Tower Defense. Watching me is enough!"
"[Research] The Mystery of the Castle Tower! Unveiling the Origin and Secrets of the Ancient Samurai Zombie!"
"[Plot] Future Plot Trend Analysis, A Brief Analysis of Milk Candy's Screenwriting Ideas"
"[Ghost Animal] Zombie Street Dance, Platinum Disco is here!"
"[Music MV] Background BGM Cover, Have you heard it?"
"[Photo] Zombie Makeup Beauty Cosplay Awards, Who is the Best Performer?"
……
As players across the Internet became addicted to fighting zombies, the discussion heat on major live broadcasts, video websites, and game forums continued to soar, and the game's sales began to surge against the trend within a week of its release!
On the second day of the game's release, as many players reached the Osaka station plot, the game's single-day sales soared to 1.6 million.
The third day, 2.2 million,
The fourth day, 2.7 million…
On the fifth day, the game's single-day sales were 3.3 million, officially surpassing 'CrossFire: Reverse War Hero's' 3 million sales!
Moreover, the soaring speed of single-day sales once again broke the sales record of Paradise Roaming's new game!
Moreover, the BOSS battle in theTenshukaku level also boosted the sales of firearm controller peripherals.
On the Peach Garden Illusion Realm platform and major e-commerce platforms, the controllers were completely out of stock.
The firearm controller, originally priced at 399 yuan, has been speculated to a high price of 2,000 yuan on second-hand platforms such asXianyu, but there are still players willing to take over at a high level.
After all, who can resist the temptation of Slaying zombies with a cyber saber?
......
Unlike 《终末防线》(《终末防线》: 末日防线) which is advancing triumphantly, Longteng Group's 《穿越火线：逆战英雄》(《穿越火线：逆战英雄》: CrossFire: Reverse Warfare Heroes) has encountered an unprecedented crisis of reputation!
The reason is simple. After Jiang Lei issued the BUG activation command to Peach Garden, not only did it not activate the server BUG of Peach Garden, but its own game fell into a endless BUG hell.
More and more angry players poured into the game's official Weibo and forums, angrily scolding:
"What the hell is going on with you? Why can't the task objective be completed normally when I'm playing? I've been busy for a long time and I can't get anything. Are you fooling around?"
"My game often has a bug where weapons cannot be fired. An FPS game cannot shoot guns, what's the point of playing?"
"Moreover, while walking, you will also encounter randomly generated invisible wall. I have been reversed by the opponent because of this BUG several times, which made me laugh."
"The game's crash and breakdown are too frequent, right? The server is abnormal when reconnecting to the internet. I can't even log in to CrossFire, what are you letting me time travel?"
"Upstairs, it's useless even if you can log in. I went up and found that the archive was lost. I wasted 3 days in vain, and I refunded it decisively!"
"At first, I was full of expectations when I saw your promotional CG, but I didn't expect the finished product to be so weak. I'm too disappointed in you."
"That Fan Langtao, are you worthy of being a game producer? If it doesn't work, just resign yourself, don't be a dog in the manger!"
......
Longteng Group Jianghai City Building, Fan Langtao's office.
Facing the players' greetings to his family registration book on various platforms, Fan Langtao's face was distorted and the veins on his forehead were throbbing.
What's going on? What exactly is going on?
Why did the sales of 《终末防线》(《终末防线》: 末日防线) surpass us?
Why is that game so fun?
Why is the promotional video so rotten, and the feature film so awesome? Lu Yu, are you deliberately going against other people's ideas?
"And... why do we have so many BUGs?!"
Fan Langtao's throat let out an angry roar, clenched his fist, and punched the table!
The desk was directly punched a big hole by his fist.
Then, he threw the documents in his hand to the wall, and the sharp tearing sound resounded throughout the office.
He paced back and forth, cursing constantly in his mouth. The secretary outside the door heard the sound of the office and carefully poked her head to check.
Realizing that President Pei was at work at this time, Fan Langtao calmed down a little and said to the secretary, "Call Jiang Lei over."
5 minutes later, Jiang Lei entered the door.
Fan Langtao got straight to the point: "Recently, aren't we working overtime to fix BUGs every day? After the game is updated, how did so many new BUGs come about?"
Jiang Lei also wondered: "I don't know. Many of the recent BUGs look familiar, just like... those BUGs that we originally buried in the Peach Garden server are all coming true in our own game."
Fan Langtao was dumbfounded: "This... how is this possible?"
Jiang Lei smiled bitterly: "I don't know, it's like there is a program in the Peach Garden server that has become spirit, using reverse tracking methods to hack us in reverse."
Fan Langtao is not from a technical background, so he didn't delve into this matter further.
What he cares more about now is that he must not let President Pei be disappointed in him!
Now, not only does he have to find a way to fix BUGs, but he also has to bring Peach Garden down at all costs!
Lu Yu's success is too eye-catching, he will never allow it.
He wants to go all out and make a final struggle!
