That day was undoubtedly difficult for Li Tianxia. Even though it was already 11 PM, he was still in the studio, smoking and waiting for the Platform173's new game promotion to go live.
Unlike Li Tianxia, many Platform173 players were also closely watching the website for changes at this moment.
Two major games would be officially released to the public today, which was a cause for celebration for the players. They were ready to enter the games and experience them as soon as possible.
However, they were clearly looking forward to the two potential new games, Natural Evolutionary Calamity and The Rise of Protoss, and had no interest in the unknown Battle Online.
When the clock struck twelve in the city, Li Tianxia and the expectant players all refreshed the webpage.
[New Game Showdown Day 1, Today's Recommended Games:] Battle Online (10 points) Natural Evolutionary Calamity (9.2) The Rise of Protoss (9.1)
The large red font appeared on the website's homepage, but everyone was surprised to see the scores.
In their opinion, the first place in this new game showdown should be a battle between Natural Evolutionary Calamity and The Rise of Protoss. What the hell was this Battle Online with a score of 10?
Driven by curiosity, many people clicked on the game to see the game introduction and reviews.
"100% realism? Is this for real?"
Everyone who saw the introduction was stunned and quickly scrolled down to see the reviewers' comments on the game.
Game Reviewer (Wang): "I have to say, if you only look at the introduction, you might miss a groundbreaking game. Its charm is irresistible, even for me."
Game Reviewer (Li): "I tried it out with the mindset of testing poison, but I became addicted and couldn't escape. I decisively gave it a full score."
Game Reviewer (Feng): "Before giving it a score, I spent about 22 hours experiencing this game. Besides the extremely realistic experience, there was a hidden feature that shocked me. Leveling up in the game made me clearly feel my body getting stronger. What kind of feeling is this? I chose the Assassin class, and I felt lightning-fast speed in the game. This superhuman feeling made me obsessed. I really wanted to give this game 100 points, but unfortunately, the limit is 10."
Game Reviewer (Qian): "I'm a very curious person. To explore this game, I didn't follow the quest instructions to go to the Ghost Mountains. Instead, I wandered around. Besides being shocked by the incredibly realistic terrain, I also encountered a ghost person wearing armor. Interacting with this NPC made me feel like I was talking to a living, intelligent being, not just an NPC. This game is terrifying. To express my respect, I'm giving it a full score. Oh, and one last reminder: don't try to provoke the NPCs in the game out of curiosity. I got killed QAQ."
These well-known reviewers in the gaming circle had given such high praise, which undoubtedly piqued the curiosity of many players.
So, driven by curiosity, many players clicked to download the game.
At this time, Li Tianxia also browsed the reviewers' comments, his expression changing. He couldn't believe that a game of only 800MB could achieve such terrifying 100% realism. In his opinion, it was simply a joke.
Then, he chose to download the game, put on the helmet, and started the game experience.
Suddenly, the CG scene that had been implanted at the beginning of the game appeared. In the gloomy sky, amidst the churning dark clouds, countless monsters revealed their hideous heads.
This realistic scene undoubtedly shocked all the players who entered the game.
As the plot progressed, the appearance of hundreds of thousands of Yin Soldiers marching in neat steps completely ignited the players' passion.
An epic battle began at this moment...
When the CG ended and the whole world seemed to turn into a sea of fire, the game officially started, and the class selection panel appeared.
At this time, Li Tianxia, like other players, was still in shock.
In Li Tianxia's opinion, the production of this CG alone would cost more than 800MB. What kind of monster company was this? How did they compress it to only 800MB? This completely defied common sense.
To find out, Li Tianxia chose the Berserker class and officially started the game.
As soon as he entered the game, he found that he was surrounded by a dense crowd of newcomers who had just entered the game. They were pointing at the Netherworld, which had been burned to ruins.
"Great King of Beiqi, let me inherit your will and restore your former glory!" At this time, a young man standing next to Li Tianxia stared at the ruined Netherworld with a look of grief.
"A'qi, stop messing around, come with me to find the BOSS. This game is really amazing. I'm afraid there will be too many people later, and we won't be able to get any monsters!" The chuuni youth was about to make a speech, but was pulled away by his teammate.
Looking around, Li Tianxia fell silent. At this time, he understood why Wu Guoyi would say those words. Even as a professional, this game was incredible to him.
Achieving 100% realism with current technology was something he couldn't even imagine.
But now, such a game really appeared before his eyes, forcing him to believe it!
At this moment, Li Tianxia's mentality changed from the initial imbalance to exploring and learning in the game.
Following the quest instructions, he also followed a large group of players and began to run along the map towards the Ghost Mountains.
However, the popularity of this game clearly exceeded his imagination. The initial quest to hunt ten Wandering Souls was impossible to complete, as the outside world was full of people wandering around looking for Wandering Souls.
Whenever a Wandering Soul was discovered, more than a dozen people would rush up together, which dumbfounded Li Tianxia, making it impossible to steal a monster.
Unlike Wang Damang and the others, many novice players only had a dead end when facing Wandering Souls alone. This type of monster was actually stronger than the initial players who condensed Yin Qi. Without agile movements, even the initially powerful Berserkers were no match for Wandering Souls if they just faced them head-on.
A white light would appear from time to time, indicating that a player had been killed by a Wandering Soul and forced to exit.
But still, a large number of players were pouring into this game.
In order to complete the novice task, Li Tianxia had no choice but to find another way, leaving the group of players and walking towards the side.
His idea was undoubtedly correct. Soon he found a lone Wandering Soul, which made Li Tianxia excited. He raised his greatsword and launched a charge towards the Wandering Soul.
Although Li Tianxia was not as strong as professional players like Wang Damang in terms of combat skills, it was more than enough to dodge the attacks of the Wandering Soul, which was not very agile.
Watching the Wandering Soul become more and more transparent, about to dissipate, a sense of satisfaction surged in Li Tianxia's heart, completely forgetting the real purpose of entering this game.
Just as the greatsword in his hand heavily chopped down, preparing to reap the life of the Wandering Soul, a figure suddenly flashed out from the side and slammed into him hard, knocking him to the ground, and the number -5 appeared above his head.
Just as Li Tianxia was a little confused about what was going on, two more figures appeared behind him, and two daggers suddenly appeared, stabbing fiercely into his neck.
-8
-9
[You have been killed by player Ye Xue'er!]
Then the screen slowly dimmed, and the dying Wandering Soul was harvested by a Berserker who had knocked him away with a single sword.
At this time, two female assassins turned around and made a face at his corpse.
I was monster-stolen! And killed!
At this time, Li Tianxia was dumbfounded.
