My Player 2

Chapter 415 Game Show

Jinghai City, International Convention and Exhibition Center.

Today is the first day of the "Glory Expedition Online" game expo. Apart from the live broadcast on the main stage and the warm-up matches in the afternoon, it's no different from a regular comic convention.

Even so, 23 tickets were sold on the first day of the game expo.

A group of cosplayers braved the scorching sun and gathered on a platform outside the exhibition hall, striking various poses that were barely visible under the focus of cameras.

Of course, these borderline cases are rare, and security guards will come to chase them away soon.

The vast majority of cosplayers are tourists, and they wear quite a lot of clothing, some even excessively so, showing a disregard for the high summer temperatures.

A lovely centaur lady, the Fare father and daughter in military uniform and Lolita style, the saintly sisters in knight's armor and priest's robes, the creator god holding X-source kidney tonic tablets, and the little knight guarding the border alone...

A significant portion of the cosplayers were dressed as popular characters from "Desperate Expedition Online".

After all, while the world of "Rongyuan" is vast, it seems the official team didn't manage to hire a good editor.

The various side quests are so rich in detail that it makes you wonder if it's a real world.

However, the lack of a central storyline to guide players and unite them results in a lack of a core character who can truly represent the game.

The only creator god suitable to be a leader is the guy with kidney deficiency who stays in his room all day.

This resulted in a chaotic cosplay scene at the game expo, with people basically cosplaying any character.

Take the popular Little Knight, for example. Even though he has a tragic past, he still conveys hope and shows a heartwarming smile in the first playthrough.

However, the storyline in the second playthrough is moved forward by ten years.

He is still a 7-year-old child, and his parents have not been sewn into the chimera.

The players rushed to the border where he was located, killed the mad doctor who was pretending to be a good person, and sent everyone, including the little knight, to the resource-rich divine realm, and even sent him to school.

This guy has lost all his edge and become just an ordinary little boy.

It has been completely extinguished.

This has left his fans conflicted, as the young knight has a happy family and a fulfilling life.

But the character's charm is gone.

There are even so-called "extreme fans" who have crowdfunded a bounty online, asking players to kill the little knight's entire family and turn him back into an orphan.

However, the cost of killing NPCs is too high. The "Investiture of the Gods" list contains nearly a thousand banned players, and none of them have been able to get their accounts unbanned to this day.

No one dares to risk having their account deleted.

The fan who offered the bounty ended up being attacked by other fans, subjected to online bullying and forced to quit the internet, and became the subject of a meme featuring a bunch of dung beetles.

This is just a small example. Nowadays, the fan creation circles of "Rongyuan" and "Jueyuan" have begun to show a trend of complete separation.

However, this exhibition was quite large, and many players from both sides came.

"Damn, it's completely blocked. Are we here to see the exhibition or to see people? Those fans of 'Jueyuan' are so shameless. They have to come and crash our 'Rongyuan' exhibition. It's so annoying. It's packed with people."

"It'll be fine once we get inside the exhibition hall."

"What do you mean scalped tickets are no good? I bought my tickets at full price through official channels!"

"Damn, is the air conditioning on or not in the convention center? I feel like I'm being steamed alive."

"Hey, Lao Liu, at three o'clock, isn't that El around E level?"

The security checkpoints in the exhibition hall were packed with people. Verifying tickets for nearly 100,000 people in a short period of time was by no means an easy task. Various queue-jumping incidents, counterfeit tickets, and arguments gave the on-duty staff a major headache.

Even the staff's special access route was blocked by a group of fans.

"I am a cheater" and "Green Player" took advantage of their official status to enter the exhibition hall before the event started. Most of the players who had dinner with them yesterday had programs or important matters to attend to, but the couple had nothing to do and strolled around the exhibition hand in hand.

An overwhelming crowd surged forward, and the packed exhibition officially began.

Even though the exhibition hall was incredibly crowded, people would still subconsciously avoid the two of them, as if there was an invisible wall between them.

The "Green Player" quietly maintained the [Virtual Wall] spell. The two arrived at a grain stall and looked at the game's merchandise, which consisted of character figurines, fan art books, and small metal pieces.

They didn't secretly sell any prohibited notebooks, after all, this exhibition had an official background.

She looked at the useless items on the stall and thought only children would like them.

But nowadays, most of the players who have qualified are older people who have entered the workforce.

After all, to reach the maximum level in "Faraway" you would need to spend at least 1000 hours in real life.

However, judging by the time, most of the college students who just started playing are almost at the maximum level and can now draw the qualification to play "Rongyuan".

Suddenly, the "green player" paused, picked up a "message" with two handsome men drawn on it, and said in disbelief:
"This is... Brother Dao?"

The two characters drawn on the small round metal piece are so beautifully rendered that their original appearances are no longer discernible.

However, Dao Ge's character is a lizardman, which is really easy to recognize.

Another human is so beautiful that his chin could pierce through the Earth.

Who knows who it depicts!
The NPCs in "Rongyuan" have a very low presence, but how could such a popular game not become a trendy item for young people?
Aside from the group of eccentric saintesses, most of the NPCs in the game are not very noticeable.

Therefore, some popular players have replaced the NPCs in the ecosystem, and fans have given them strange character settings that they themselves are unaware of.

"I'm the hanger," he leaned closer, glanced at the picture on the grain, and, looking like he knew a lot about it, explained to his wife:
"Brother Dao and Brother Tui, this is a great couple."

"No, what's their relationship?" The 'Green Player' was completely bewildered.

"Who knows!" 'I am a cheater' put his arm around his wife's waist and joked, "If you ever understand these people's thought processes, remember to tell me, and we'll go get a divorce."

The "green player" shook off her husband's hand, slapped him on the buttocks, and angrily said:

"If we get a divorce, I'll expose all your gold coins!"

"I'm the cheater" chuckled awkwardly, quickly changing the subject to gossip:
"Old Dao doesn't care. I think he's good at keeping his composure. But if Brother Tui's girlfriend finds out, they'll probably have another fight."

"I think they're going to break up sooner or later." 'Green Player's' face immediately darkened. "If you're mentally ill, go to the hospital for treatment. Don't fucking try to find medicine from your partner. Isn't that woman just torturing people?"

Leg-ge's eccentric girlfriend seemed like a normal person at the dinner party last night, but after everyone went home, she seemed to have had a fight with Leg-ge and sent a long post to every woman at the dinner party.

Sensing that his wife was in a bad mood, "I am a hanger" stopped talking, pulled her into his arms, and led her to wander around the exhibition hall.

About an hour later, there was some commotion at the main stage, which drew away most of the tourists.

Both of them were a little tired from walking around, so they sat down in the exhibition hall's coffee shop.

"I'm hanging up," he said, not checking his phone, staring at his absent-minded wife, and suddenly asked:

Are you really going to the moon?
