Chapter 166 Full of Rhymes? What, Do You Want to Take the Postgraduate Entrance Examination? (Subscribe)
Time passed quietly.
The Star Cup competition entered the preparation work for the statistical awarding stage.
This Star Cup award ceremony was held in the largest local stadium.
The award ceremony is held in every Star Cup competition, and tickets will be sold to the public at the beginning of the competition.
But even if the largest stadium can accommodate tens of thousands of people, it still cannot satisfy the huge number of players.
Fortunately, the award ceremony of each Star Cup competition will be broadcast simultaneously on major live broadcast platforms.
But even at this moment.
On the Internet, there are only two hot searches for the Star Cup competition, while Sekiro has five hot searches.
No other!
After all, this Star Cup competition can be said to be the least suspenseful competition.
And after the unremitting efforts of the players, just in these few days, the four endings of "Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice" have been fully presented to the players one after another.
It can be said that there is no good ending in the conventional sense for the four endings of Sekiro.
In the ending of "Incarnation of Shura", Sekiro holds two Undying Swords and turns the Ashina Kingdom into a Shura Field, with people suffering and corpses everywhere.
In the ending of "Ending Immortality", Sekiro stabs the Son of God to death with his own hands, returns to the Buddhist temple, becomes a Buddhist sculptor, and waits for the arrival of the next ninja.
In the ending of "Return of the Dragon", Sekiro takes the soul of the Son of God, Kuro, and rushes to the Dragon's hometown in the west, intending to return the power of the Dragon's Heir.
In the ending of "Returning to Ordinary Man", after saving the Son of God, Wolf kills himself with the Undying Sword in order to end immortality, leaving the Son of God, who has become an ordinary person, alive in this world.
After players learned about the four endings of Sekiro, they were all filled with emotion--
"I didn't defeat the sword master, but myself who wanted to give up again and again!"
"If you hesitate, you will lose, and if you are decisive, you will just give up!"
"Even Ashina Isshin survived, let alone facing life?!"
"I bought it for my child. We agreed to study for five minutes after dying once. Now he has been admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University. He has died many times. Now his child has only one problem, which is that he always sees the word death as the word vegetable!"
"One computer, one pack of cigarettes, and one word death for a day!"
"I bought it for my child to relax in his spare time. He likes it very much. Now he doesn't want spare time anymore!"
"Everyone in Ashina Castle has taught me how to write the word death!"
"It's a very good literacy game, but the disadvantage is that it only teaches one word!"
There are even people who edit the experience of playing Sekiro into a jingle and upload it to the Internet.
[Sekiro unlocked, crying with joy, opened the game at 23:00]
[Self-proclaimed soul, knows Cai Gou well, and is fearless when seeing the monsters for the first time]
[Long Yin has two lives, thinks he is invincible, and wants to compete with the elite again]
[Swords and swords, crying, spending money to buy sins, asking for trouble]
[Throwing helmet angrily, closing the game, logging into the browser, thundering]
[Big guy speedruns, feeling jealous, picks up the keyboard, I am the best]
[All the old ladies are rubbish, netizens besiege, cover their faces and cry]
[Self-reflection, deeply educated, reopened the game, and died again]
[We are clumsy, participation is important, I have a word, please remember]
[——Cai Gou old thief, you are a piece of shit! ]
The result...
Because this jingle is so in line with the players' voices, it became popular in the community.
After seeing it, a group of players directly liked and collected comments
"Are you the legendary literary giant?"
"You are full of rhymes, why do you want to take the postgraduate entrance examination?"
"Read it once and laugh once!"
"Hahaha, brother, your writing is amazing!"
"I was very opposed to your quitting the literary world back then!"
"As long as you scold the old thief, we are good brothers!"
"Fuck, it's too cunning, join my reformist faction!"
As the night gradually fell, the stadium opened its doors to welcome guests from all directions.
Countless players flocked in, holding tickets to watch this award ceremony.
The stadium was packed with spectators, and the atmosphere was extremely warm.
"Swoosh!"
"Swoosh!"
"Swoosh!"
Accompanied by the sound of fireworks, the opening show of the award ceremony came out.
Cai Gou sat in the first row of VIP seats, staring at the fireworks in the sky in a daze.
Seeing this, Fei Yangyang on the side poked Cai Gou with his arm and asked:
"Brother Gou, what are you thinking about?"
Zhu Ping'an leaned forward and answered: "Brother Gou, you are not worried about who will get the Sun Badge of the Star Cup, right?"
"If you ask me!" Fei Yangyang continued:
"What is there to worry about? Netizens say that this session is the most suspenseful Star Cup competition. Brother Gou, your worry is completely unnecessary."
The host came on stage and gave an opening speech, and then presented awards to other games one after another.
Cai Gou didn't pay any attention to the stage at all, but came back to his senses and said to the two:
"What are you thinking about? I'm not worried about the award situation."
"Then Brother Gou..."
"I saw the fireworks and the award ceremony, and remembered the awarding of the Green Bamboo Badge at the Independent Game Festival Awards Ceremony."
"At that time, the fireworks were also so gorgeous, but it's a pity... time flies so fast..."
Fei Yangyang and Zhu Ping'an also fell into memories when they heard it.
Although Cai Gou sat in the first row, all the live broadcast platforms and the on-site directors knew who the players wanted to see the most.
So the camera would occasionally lock onto Cai Gou.
Seeing this, the fans in the official live broadcast rooms nodded with satisfaction.
"Suit, tie, slicked back hair, hey, my girlfriend is online!"
"Wow, woo, woo, Cai Bao has grown up, mommy fans are very happy!"
"The Yellow Turban Army and the Reformist Knights of the Round Table, assemble!"
"Saibo Bodhisattva teaches, Dharma Protector Janna is here!"
"Truth Society Hydra gathers!"
"The mechanical instructor is also here to help!"
"All the thirty-six current presidents of the conservative faction are here!"
"There are no faction members yet, rush, rush!"
As time passed slowly, the host wearing a blue dress came on stage again, raised the microphone and said:
"Finally, it's the turn of the most important award in this Star Cup competition, the promulgation of the Sunshine Badge. I won't be too pretentious here. After all, this Star Cup competition is known to be the least suspenseful competition."
"Please look at the big screen!"
As the host pointed back, the big screen lit up, and the game screens of "Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice" emerged one by one.
At the same time, the voice-over also sounded simultaneously.
["Sekiro" has evolved from the hard-core style of Taipingdao into a stealth action adventure game with a unique style and combat that emphasizes precision and skill. 】
[This game walks the line between careful and patient stealth and threatening and thrilling combat. The imaginative and flexible tools allow for a more focused gaming experience. 】
[The game reduces elements that are too obscure without completely losing the sense of mystery. It presents amazing new designs and is the amazing ninth art]
The host raised the microphone and said loudly:
"Let us congratulate Taiping Dao Tiangong General Cai Gou for winning the first place in this Star Cup competition and becoming the winner of the sun badge in this Star Cup competition!"
"boom--"
"Crash!"
The audience cheered thunderously.
The fierce and surging applause almost overturned the stadium.
"General Tiangong!"
"The general is mighty!"
"Old thief——"
"Awesome——"
"General Tiangong, rush, rush, rush—"
boom!
The spotlight at the award ceremony was accurately projected on Cai Gou's seat.
Zhu Ping'an and Fei Yangyang cheered upon seeing this -
"Cai Gou, Brother Dog! We were born with swords and guns, let's not lose our status!"
"Yes, be energetic!"
Cai Gou suppressed his smile and glared at the two of them, then walked towards the red carpet and waved to the media cameras on the left and right.
Friends in the live broadcast room burst into laughter when they saw this scene.
"Hahaha, General Di Gong and General Ren Gong are really good at joining in the fun!"
"Hey, it's a pity. If the old thief said something at this time - Tian Wenjing, I () () ()..."
"Hahahaha, the one upstairs, that will be a sure kill!"
"Cai Gou, stay alert!"
"That's right, don't lose your status!"
"Hey, that's great!"
Amid the laughter of the players, the presenter presented the award to Cai Gou wearing a Sunshine badge.
Cai Gou raised the microphone and spoke about the award:
"Being able to obtain the Sunshine Badge of this Star Cup would not be possible without the help of all fans."
"Thank you all for your continued support and love for Taipei Dao, "Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice" and for me."
"I announce that from now on, all players can receive the game "I Want to Be a Man" for free on the Steam platform."
As soon as these words appeared in the audience and the book friends in the live broadcast room, they were completely shocked.
What?
Get free games?
Players like to add one directly?
But when everyone heard that this free game was about me becoming a man, they felt mixed emotions.
Old thief!
I give you my heart, but you pour your urine on me!
I regard you as my brother, and you regard me as your cousin!
"My game library is not a trash can...Game·Start!"
"Old thief, this operation of yours is about repaying kindness with vengeance!"
"I want to be a man? Hey, I collect gangs and have obsessive-compulsive disorder. Will I be forced to suffer serious consequences in the next period of time?"
"Uuuuuuuuah, I don't want to play, I want to be a man, but I can't bear it!"
Upon seeing this, the host smiled and asked:
"General Tiangong, it seems that everyone is really excited about your welfare feedback. Can I ask Taipingdao Company's current game project plan?"
Cai Gou explained: "At present, Taipingdao, except for the games from the game plus education special exhibition in July, which are already in the final stage of development, there are only military orders produced by Lei Gong Studio."
"Of course, the commercial and civilian versions of this military order are also being produced simultaneously!"
"Oh?" the host asked curiously: "General, can you reveal the specific type of game that day?"
"Of course!" Cai Gou continued: "This game is called Digital Combat Simulation World. It is a hard-core air force battle type game."
Air force battle?
Hardcore gaming?
Digital combat simulation world?
The audience and fans in the live broadcast room were very excited when they heard this.
"Old guard of the Yellow Turban Army: Today's live broadcast has an unexpected harvest!"
"Hahaha, old school ecstasy!"
"Air force versus hardcore game? Double chef ecstasy!"
"This type of game really hurts my XP!"
The host then asked: "In addition to these two games, does Taipingdao Company have any new game project plans this year?"
In the eager anticipation of all the players.
"Taipingdao does have some potential, and there are indeed plans for new games, but the game type and subject matter have not yet been determined. How about this..." Cai Gou looked around at the players below the stage and said:
"In order to give back to the fans' strong support, a voting event will be launched in the Taipingdao community tomorrow. The subject matter and type of the new game will be decided by the players' votes. How about that?"
After hearing this, the host applauded.
Cai Gou's announcement of such heavy news at the awards ceremony is bound to be on the hot search list, and it will also be a new wave of popularity for this awards ceremony.
The audience was instantly excited when they heard the news.
"Hahahaha, I knew that I want to be a man is just the appetizer!"
"Have we decided? This is really... so cool!"
"Oh no, there are so many factions in the Yellow Turban Army now, this vote will definitely be very intense!"
"Awesome! Old thief, I have always believed that you can do it since I was a child, but I didn't expect you to be so good!"
"Woo woo woo, old thief, you are too good, right?!"
The award ceremony ended that night, but Cai Gou's promise at the award ceremony quickly spread.
[Xingchen Cup·Cai Gou]
[Taipingdao Community Voting Event]
[I want to be a man for free]
[Digital Battle Simulation World]
[……]
When a group of players learned about the details of the news, they all downloaded the Taipingdao community, and the number of downloads of the APP increased rapidly.
Don't think that the Yellow Turban Army of Taipingdao only fans Old thief, and there is no difference between group fans and single fans.
But the Yellow Turban Army fan team has also derived a fan culture unique to the Yellow Turban Army in recent years.
Conservatives, Reformists, Cyber Bodhisattvas, Truth Society, Computer Assemblers, no faction members.
Which fan group is easy to mess with?
This time, the players voted to decide the theme and type of the next new game of Taipingdao, which can be regarded as an opportunity for the major factions of the Yellow Turban Army.
It is impossible not to rush in.
"Yellow Turban Army·Reformists: Abstract! New games must be abstract! I think RPGs that are easy-going and weird are great!"
"Yellow Turban Army·Conservatives: What abstract? It must be hardcore. Don't let the abstraction be too arrogant. Hardcore is the best!"
"Installation Teacher: Is it possible to make a game that teaches players how to install computers?"
"Cyber Bodhisattva: I beg you to make a game like the Cryptography Introductory Manual that allows players to electronically control Yang Wei."
"No faction: Cyber Bodhisattva? You are so cruel! How dare you say that?"
"Truth Society: I understand. Cyber Bodhisattva wants to take this opportunity to strengthen its own sect. What a sinister trick!"
The players argued fiercely about the subject matter and type of the new game. Everyone had their own reasons.
The Taipingdao voting activity has therefore become a hot news in the current gaming circle, and there is a tendency to spread outward.

Cai Gou, who had just returned to the hotel and was about to wash up, saw the system prompt and suddenly smiled:
"Intermediate · Item Treasure Box?"
"Oh, there is an unexpected gain?"
