The virtual empire starts from the game

Chapter 421: Information Explosion! One Life Hardcore Mode!
Zhumeng had no intention of adding fuel to the fire.

Probably not.

Because this scene was similar to the previous gameplay demonstration, it ended in less than 4 seconds, and the camera turned to the scene of playing cards and gambling in the tavern.

But these short 4 seconds caused a strong response in the United States and even in some coastal countries in Europe!

Although the Black Flag project team has released promotional materials for "Sail in the Blue Sea" more than once.

Everyone has an idea of ​​the time and place where the story takes place.

Even in [Cursed Gold], there is an obvious slave trade plot.

But they all subconsciously overlooked the possibility that players could participate in it - even though it was a very common thing in that era.

Until now, I have seen a player participating in the trade with my own eyes - and it was a white player.

This immediately awakened the instincts deep in the blood of many people.

Correspondingly, the black man who pretended to be a slave and killed the captain ignited the anger of many black players against oppression.

Before the trailer was even finished airing, an incredibly intense war of words broke out on American social networks!

——This war of words was initially related to the new game Dream Building, but it soon turned into a big settlement of old accounts of "systematic racial persecution" of white people by black Americans.

But just like the war of words that have always started off well but ended badly over the years, this will not produce any substantive change.

Especially this time, the origin of the incident is not even a real thing, and there is not even a reason to march and protest.

In the end, it turned into some black people protesting against Dream Building.

Other black people planned to kill each other in the game with white people.

In Xia Country, this clip hardly caused any waves, and everyone naturally looked at the following gameplay introduction -

Text description also began to appear on the screen:
[gamble]
In the noisy pub, four players were playing cards around a gambling table.

Around them, a large number of drinkers gathered on the sidelines to make a noise and watch the fun, and waitresses were moving among the crowd carrying large mugs of beer.

Outside the crowd of drinkers watching the fun, a small diamond-shaped mark suddenly appeared on a person's head, reminding the audience: this person is a player.

This player took advantage of everyone watching the gambling game and quietly stole their belongings.

[theft]
Each time you succeed, there will be a system prompt of [Stealing Proficiency +1].

Until a failed theft was discovered and a fight broke out in the tavern!

The camera then leaves the pub.

Passing by the heroic sniper swinging his hammer, the little pepper standing guard at the door of the brothel, the orange juice fishing in the fountain of the Governor's Mansion, the honest fisherman carrying wood to build a boat, and You Guagua sending flowers to the NPC...

[Life and Occupation]
[Favorability System]
The camera returns to the ground only after it reaches the vast sugarcane plantations on the edge of Port Royal.

Targets players who are working hard.

[Farming system]
In addition to large-scale sugarcane, there are also orchards growing many fruits that are not suitable for the Caribbean climate at all.

Some players strolled among them, picking a few fruits at random.

But before they had time to eat, the productivity from Africa suddenly rioted, started setting fires and causing destruction everywhere!
[Random Event]
The flow of time suddenly accelerated, the bright sunshine turned into a dark thunderstorm, and the extreme climate change caused a large amount of hail to fall from the sky.

[Weather changes]
The fire in the plantation was quickly extinguished by the extreme weather.

A Canary Warren hound sprinted across the chaotic plantation to its master's side, baring its teeth at the rioting slaves.

[Animal Companions]
The camera cuts to the ocean.

The parrot standing on the captain's shoulder, the monkey, the cat, the goat locked in the cabin, the cheetah, the pet pig.

Seals, dolphins, and killer whales playing with players in the sea...

The audience was dazzled by the sight.

The killer whale carries the player through the waves of the ocean and gallops freely.

A uniquely shaped island soon appeared in front of us: it was an island that was flat overall, but had four towering stone pillars on its edge.

"Bear Paw Island!" The players on the killer whale's back cheered.

The camera zooms out, and from a bird's-eye view, the entire island looks like a bear's paw.

[Island Exploration]
A sailboat sails upstream.

The moment you pass through the waterfall, a secret place hidden behind the waterfall appears before your eyes.

[Legend of the Secret Realm]
Sunlight came down from the sky, illuminating a cave somewhere unknown.

In the center of the cave, on a small tree not much taller than a bush, grew a spherical fruit covered with strange patterns.

……

The gameplay preview is getting faster and faster!

It seems that the development team has created so much content and can't wait to introduce it to the players.

However, due to the length of the trailer, we have to limit the display time of each gameplay.

As a result, the camera cuts every few seconds to show a new way of playing. Coupled with the music that gradually builds to a climax, it makes players excited!
Even so, the development team still thinks it’s not enough!

In the last few seconds of the trailer, another bombshell is dropped——

"Three major game modes of "Sail in the Blue Sea":
[Story Mode]
[Open World]
[Adventurer Mode]
*[Adventurer Mode] is only recommended for mature adventurers.

In this mode, once a character dies, they are permanently dead.

All your investment will be lost, please be careful! 」
-
The trailer is only three and a half minutes long.

But the amount of information exploded!

Tons of new gameplay immediately excited players around the world:
"Oh my god! Plot, exploration, combat, development, leisure... is it so rich?"

“I feel like I can play for a year!”

"One year? With the speed at which Dream Building is updated, I think I can play it for a lifetime!"

"The favorability system, can anyone pursue her? Can we get married and have children after pursuing her?"

"Brother, you're a pirate and you're still chasing women? Just grab any one you like!"

“Can I rob Queen Victoria?”

"Maybe it's Queen Elizabeth or Queen Anne! If you want to grab her, you have to wait for Dream Building to update the London map."

“A real man should play hardcore!! With the dream machine, the immersion is maximized!”

“Playing hardcore with the Dream Machine doesn’t feel like playing a game anymore, it’s like traveling through time and experiencing a different life!”

……

The discussion heated up this trailer, much more than [Cursed Gold]!

When we saw [The Cursed Gold], everyone thought we were just playing pirates and fighting.

But now it seems that they are more than just pirates!
You can clearly play any character from that era!
Pirate, navy, merchant, adventurer, or even just an ordinary farmer and bartender.

Dream Building is not just a single-threaded pirate adventure game.

Instead, it restores the silhouette of an era and packages it into an open world game for everyone to experience!
This undoubtedly caused a huge sensation.

It also made many players start to worry——

With such huge ambition and scale, can the dream really be completed so quickly?
What if you enter the game and find that it is all just for show and the rich gameplay becomes a messy hodgepodge? Wouldn't it be that the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment?

This kind of worry has made many players even look forward to a delay in the release of Dream Building so that they can spend more time polishing the game.

The beta test players were all very upset when they saw these voices.

——Please, don’t default on the payment!

They are super eager for the game to be released soon!

It was not until they saw the [Drunkenness and Dreaming of Death] gameplay trailer that they realized how insignificant what they were playing was.

The desire for the official version of the game is burning like wildfire!
The last 20 days before the release feel as tough as 20 years!
The brave sniper watched the trailer eight times in a row with his fans in the live broadcast room.

He got really mad again and urged the Black Flag project team to "hurry up" before he opened the live broadcast room of Mansheng Metropolis.

[Hunter Assessment] The fourth and final round of [Number Plate Battle].

Already turned on.

The assessment rules are not complicated:

All participating players will receive a number plate and then be sent to an island by a large sailboat.

Their task is to protect their own license plates and snatch other people's license plates.

After grabbing 10 license plates, you can return to the ship at any time to submit the license plates and end the mission.

However, in the end, only the 100 players who submitted the most number plates can obtain the [Hunter License].

——Other players who completed the assessment but ranked behind can only receive consolation rewards.

Players who participated in the assessment quickly realized:

Under the relatively uncomplicated rules, there is a rather complex comprehensive game:
If you submit too early, you may not make it into the top 100.

If you submit too late, you may be targeted because you have too many number cards.

Once it is intercepted, it is like making wedding clothes for others.

While they were thinking, they were sent to the assessment island one by one.

……

The heroic sniper watched the solemn player quickly disappear into the depths of the island, but his face was filled with question marks:
"Isn't this island... the [Bear Paw Island] from the trailer?"

"So the hunter assessment is really being conducted in 'Sailing in the Blue Sea'?"
