Chapter 113: Battle of Lake Island
Westbrook thought that he was sure to win because he brought 3,000 gold coins, but after seeing the price of 8,000 gold coins, his head was buzzing. However, he quickly adjusted his mentality. After all, problems that could be solved with money were not problems, and besides, Mr. Hua was sitting next to him.
After several fierce battles, Westbrook bought a piece of family land for about 7,000 gold coins. After buying the land, he and Hua Shao went to the family address non-stop and started building a B&B.
Many people in the inn group are asking, since there is already a gang and a store in the county, why does Westbrook still spend money to build a family?
First, safety. The family address is located near the county town and belongs to the system security zone. It is completely protected by the system and there is no need to worry about being captured by others.
Second, geographical location. The family is near the county seat, which is a place with dense traffic, making it easier for players to communicate and trade with each other.
Third, characteristic buildings. On the family land, you can build your own characteristic buildings and create your own industry.
Fourth, special factories. Life skills are becoming more and more complex. Players can produce products with their own characteristics in factories with their own characteristics; and as the game develops, natural resources will become increasingly scarce, such as wild monsters on Chaowei Peak. Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer of them. Using these special factories, we can also produce products that replace natural resources.
Fifth, the combination of reality and games. Westbrook not only wants to use the family platform to buy and sell products in the game, but also wants to use the family platform to sell his real-life products.
...
Feng was very happy when he learned that Westbrook had successfully acquired the family land and had begun organizing the construction. If this continues, the Chaowei Feng team will definitely become stronger and stronger.
Before he could be happy for a long time, another big thing happened, pushing him to the forefront again.
The Dream Controller, known as the "Gun God", issued a challenge to the "Sword Demon" through several super anchors in the game. The time was 12 noon during the Mid-Autumn Festival at Wangxin Peak on Lake Island.
At first, Dream Controller didn't take Feng seriously at all, especially during the game's internal beta. Feng didn't show up in the finals. He thought Feng was a coward who ran away from battle.
However, after Feng's reputation greatly increased after he "confronted two" at the Chaowei Feng Gang Conference, various public opinions emerged in the game world:
Some people say that Dream Controller won the championship in the game internal beta, which is actually not glorious;
Some people say that the reason why Sword Demon did not participate in the finals was because he was threatened by others;
Some people say that Dream Controllers have just joined high-level sects, so they don’t even dare to participate in “two-on-one” games;
Some people say that the dream controller is no longer worthy of the title of "Gun God" and suggest that he be deprived of it;
someone said......
These various remarks deeply irritated the Dream Controller. He did not participate in the "two-on-one" game because he simply disdained such an unfair game. Unexpectedly, he was misunderstood by other players in this way.
And when the Dream Controller learned that it was his team that bought Feng with money in the finals, which caused Feng to not participate in the competition, the Dream Controller became furious and furious.
So he contacted several major game anchors and jointly issued a challenge to the "Knife Demon".
Because the contest took place on the island in the center of the lake, players also called this challenge the "Battle of the Island in the Center of the Lake."
After receiving the news of the "Battle of Lake Center Island", Feng really couldn't help but smile. He had only had two days of rest, and he was once again on the headlines of the game.
He suddenly realized why ancient knights often chose to live in seclusion after becoming famous, because you never knew when or where you would be challenged or hunted down.
He didn't want to escape the Dream Controller's challenge, so he asked Xiaochao to respond by posting a message, agreeing to the challenge.
One person asks for a fight and one person responds to the fight, which means that the battle has officially taken effect.
Surprisingly, the "Battle of Lake Island" was officially recognized. The official also opened a betting market for this challenge. The odds are 1:1, but each player has a limited bet, and the bet is the highest. 1 gold.
The stakes are small, but better than nothing.
"Once you've come, let's live in peace." After reciting the mantra silently, he rushed to the county seat of Wanling County to buy props for building a gang branch.
The game world is complicated and confusing. Just when the county and villages are booming and developing their careers, some bad things happen in the wild areas of the game.
Fights, robberies, and even murders occurred in the wild areas of the three counties. This incident cast a shadow over the entire game and made all players feel nervous.
According to informed players, these things are actually the so-called "voting certificate". Only after passing the "voting certificate" can the player officially become a bandit or bandit.
"It seems that after the official event, the players have begun to lose their temper." Although he was also surprised, when he thought about the invitation from the fifth leader of the bandits, he already felt clear in his heart.
When I returned to Lingwu Village again, I saw players gathering in twos and threes at the village committee.
These people all had "grievances" to sue. The players were having a chaotic discussion in the village committee yard. The sound was so noisy that it gave people a splitting headache.
He didn't stay, and he didn't want to stay. These were Xiaochao's duties as an official, so it was better not to participate.
He turned around and came to the large courtyard in the center of the village, and then pulled up a colorful flag that read: Chaowei Peak Gang Branch Recruiting Players.
Yes, he is here to recruit members of the gang branch.
The majestic big dark horse stood there. Without too many words, it was enough to attract the attention of passing players. Slowly, many players gathered around him, and from time to time someone asked about gang matters.
Although it is just a simple matter of recruiting people, if the skills are used properly, it will often get twice the result with half the effort. A player strode to Feng's side and exclaimed, "Are you the legendary sword demon? Is this the legendary dark horse?" His words were truly moving and touching, and he opened his mind immediately. The heart of the player next to you.
After some in-depth exchanges, nearby players finally confirmed that he was the "Sword Demon" himself.
"I always thought this big dark horse looked familiar, but it turns out it wasn't me who was dazzled." Passerby A
"I actually recognized it a long time ago, but isn't the Sword Demon in Buluo County? Buluo County is so far away from us, so I didn't dare to confirm it." Passerby B
"Chaowei Feng Gang is the first gang established in Zhenzhou, I want to join."
"I'll join in too."
"I want to join too."
…
The player who recognized Feng at a glance and exclaimed "Sword Demon" loudly was named "Smart Ghost". In fact, Xiaochao was brought here from Buluo County, and he was also a member of the Chaowei Feng gang. Driven by this "drag", the recruitment of sub-helm members went very smoothly.
Feng then took these recruited players to the address he chose and prepared to build the Fenduo Inn. This place is a medium-sized mountain. Because it is relatively close to Lingwu Village and there are no wild monsters on the mountain, no one chooses to establish a gang here.
But for him, it was just right.
He gave full authority over the affairs of the helm to Smart Gui, making him the helmsman of the sub-rudder. Because Smart Guy was recommended to him by Xiaochao, he naturally believed it completely.
"Thank you to the gang leader for your trust. I will definitely make the gang branch beautiful." After Smart Gui wholeheartedly agreed, he began to organize the newly recruited players to build the gang branch.
After he handed over the props and start-up funds needed to build the gang branch to Smart Gui, he returned to the village and left the big dark horse in Xiaochao's mansion.
Then, he put on his mask and prepared to take a stroll in Lingwu Village. Lingwu Village and Luoxia Village were both novice villages for players, and he wanted to see what the difference was between the two.
Walking around the village, there are bustling players busy in the village.
There are players in the store, shouting for their own store;
Some players form a team with their friends and prepare to go out to the village to fight wild monsters;
There are players like him wandering around the village;
There are players in groups, chatting on the stone table under the big tree in the village;
Some players just came out of the novice's thatched hut, running and jumping excitedly, rolling and crawling;
Some players rushed back to their stores pushing newly harvested grains and fruits;
A player is holding a fishing rod and preparing to go fishing in a nearby river.
...
In terms of crops, Luoxia Village mainly produces rice and potatoes, and Lingwu Village mainly produces rice and corn; in terms of fruits, Luoxia Village mainly produces citrus, and Lingwu Village mainly produces melons and fruits;
In terms of scenery, the two sides have different focuses. Luoxia Village focuses on the beauty of the glow and the sky, while Lingwu Village focuses on the mystery and agility of things.
As for the rest, it's pretty much the same.
In the afternoon, Director Westbrook and Director Zhang came to him again to continue discussing the commercial. The story of the commercial was almost complete, and only a few more preparations were needed before the official shooting.
First, product modeling. Since the advertisement is shot in the game, the product being advertised must appear in the game. Westbrook has sent someone to contact the game insiders and received a relatively satisfactory answer. Players can create special props in the game, but they must meet relevant requirements.
For example: for food, you must submit relevant information, certificates, etc. The game will strictly review these things and decide not to allow fake and shoddy products.
Second, God’s perspective. The most important thing about advertising is visual impact. To have visual impact, you must have a special perspective. Players can rent a perspective account and log in to this account to use the God perspective. However, the lease perspective account is still relatively cumbersome and must meet many requirements, such as the purpose of the lease perspective, when and where to use it, whether it will have an impact on others, rent, etc.
Third, schedule. Schedule your time in advance to avoid conflicts.
Fourth, the location of the advertisement. Although Feng really wanted to shoot scenes in Lingwu Village and help Xiaochao advertise, but after careful study, everyone felt that it was not realistic yet because Lingwu Village was too far from Buluo County, so we could only wait and see if there were opportunities later.
