We promised to develop a game called Candy Crush, what the hell is the Third Reich?

Chapter 92 [Multiplayer Co-op Story] Mode Update, Battlefield Coming Soon
The inspiration came to me while watching the live stream these past few days.

Looking at the titles of those live streams, they all read things like, "Challenge xxx city, survive xxx days."

Zhao Ming then realized that the players on Blue Star were indeed quite idle.

Previously, I thought that these battles would take a long time, and I couldn't let players fight for two or three years. Moreover, with such a long siege, were we really going to let players starve for hundreds of days?
But now, players facing a survival challenge have emerged.

Not only that.

The previous events were designed to encourage players to interact with NPCs.

Therefore, the videos on the official website are mostly about food, storylines, and exciting battles.

Now, most of the videos are dominated by those about how many days it takes to play PUBG and the darker side of human nature during wartime.

Blue Star players seem to prefer watching these.

This kind of gameplay actually has a considerable market.
Moreover, due to recent discussions about human nature, these live streams have become quite popular.

In that case.

Zhao Ming began to consider abandoning the compressed storyline and proceeding normally. When battles broke out in the game, players could choose to participate, as long as a preview was released in advance and an entry point to the battle was provided.

This kind of battle, which begins with the storyline, can also attract players to participate.

As long as the number of participants is set to be small, it doesn't matter how many rounds are held, as it won't affect the outcome of the battle.

Zhao Ming is currently setting up the battlefield for the [Kyiv Campaign].

The Battle of Kiev lasted for more than two months, and included many battles of varying sizes. The battlefields were set up according to the timeline and followed the progress of the story.

In the [Immersive Story] mode, players cannot participate in combat due to their different identities. However, by selecting the [Kiev Campaign], they can directly become soldiers and enter the [Kiev Campaign] to fight against the Empire.

Zhao Ming checked the real-time map in the game.

The main force south of Kyiv has been completely encircled by the Empire.

After all the enemies are wiped out, it will be Kiev's turn. According to the game's storyline, it will take about three more days to reach Kiev.

Three days.

That's more than enough to make the Battle of Kiev a reality.

three days later.

A notice was posted on the Polestar website.

[Update Announcement.]

This update primarily addresses the issue of players wanting to experience the battlefield but being unable to participate due to their different class roles.

[1. Based on the current storyline progress, the Kiev (limited-time) Campaign battlefield is now open. The battlefield updates in real time along with the main storyline. Players can enter in teams or solo, and will be randomly assigned either soldier or officer roles (the team leader will be assigned the commander role).]

[2. The option to select the Kiev Campaign in the multiplayer co-op story mode is now available. Selecting this option will directly take you to the Kiev Campaign.]

3. [Multiplayer Co-op Story Mode] Online team play is available, allowing players to team up with other squads to participate together.

[4. The Nation War instance, "Battle of Moscow," is coming soon. Stay tuned!]

After the Battle of Kiev, there will be the Battle of Leningrad and the Battle of Moscow. Leningrad is suitable for players to play PUBG, while Zhao Ming plans to make the Battle of Moscow a national war instance.

Regular battles follow the storyline and unlock as the story progresses.

The nation war instance, on the other hand, is only opened during major holidays or events.

Following the timeline of the story, once the [Battle of Kiev] is unlocked, the [Anti-War Competition] selection will be completed, which will coincide with the opening of the national war instance, allowing for another round of promotion.

After Zhao Ming released the announcement, he checked the trending topics and TianSha's live stream:

"Ok?"

In the live stream of the Great Xia military, a familiar face was spotted.

The Northern Army.

Skyshark Live.

The Great Xia military's live broadcast room was divided into eighteen screens.

These are all elite soldiers from the Great Xia Federation's army. Each screen displays a different battle mission, and clicking on a screen will take you to your own exclusive live stream. Shen Yan's side, however, has the highest viewership.

The event was broadcast live on Tiansha Live's official channel.

Similarly popular was a unit from the Antarctic Star Federation, which was also broadcast live by Tiansha Live.

The scenes on both sides are quite similar, both taking place near Kyiv.

In other words, both sides have not yet updated.

The multiplayer co-op story mode randomly assigned the same mission, but each mission was a separate story segment, so the question of who was stronger on each side became a hot topic of discussion among netizens.

And Tiansha Live, which won the bamboo shoot competition.

They even brought in comments from the Antarctic Star Federation's live stream, putting viewers from both the Great Xia Federation and the Antarctic Star Federation into their Tiansha official live stream.

So viewers in Tiansha's live stream room will see this scene.

The comments on the Great Xia Federation's screen and those on the South Pole Star Federation's screen rolled back and forth, all supporting their own army, and some were even arguing.

at this time.

Shen Yan was leading his 20 subordinates in the live broadcast room.

Attempt to break through the Empire's armored battalion blockade.

Looking at the current timeline of the story, Zhao Ming realized that it had reached the final stage of the 'Battle of Uman'. Once the Empire had annihilated the main Soviet Federation forces south of Kiev, it would move north to encircle them and launch the 'Battle of Kiev'.

The live broadcast from the armies of the Great Xia Federation and the Antarctic Star Federation shows that they are currently located in Legzino and have been ordered to break out to the east, but all the bridges to the outside world have been destroyed by the Empire's 1st Armored Division.

Both sides' missions were to cover the evacuation of the Federal 8th Army headquarters.

And in order to successfully evacuate.

We must break through the Empire's armored battalion blockade before the main force arrives.

Once the blockade of the armored battalion is broken, and the Empire's main force blocks it, the entire encirclement will be complete, and there will be no escape.

In-game.

Angus, the brigade commander of the 3rd Armored Brigade of the A Group Army of the Antarctic Star Federation, was lying on the back of a embankment with his twenty elite men, looking at the Imperial positions opposite through his binoculars.

It was a steel defense line consisting of machine guns, mortars, and two tanks.

Then look at our side. There are 20 people plus the 10 military dogs given by the plot.

Angus couldn't help but curse under his breath:
"What the hell is this mission?"

"Do game designers even have brains?"

"Four machine guns, four mortars, and more than one hundred elite soldiers fully armed."

"How are we going to break through?"

The soldier next to him looked somewhat embarrassed.
"Brigade Commander, this is a live broadcast."

Because it was a live stream, their consciousness could also be brought out of the live stream room.

As Angus muttered his curses, the comments from the Great Xia people in the live chat weren't very positive.

But Brigade Commander Angus retorted irritably:

"I know this is a live broadcast."

"What? You can't criticize the design just because it's flawed?"

"The game designer should really be allowed to play it himself."

"I'd like to see if he can break through."

"Don't even mention us being unable to get through; no federal army could get through either."

"Is this some kind of mission that no human could possibly complete?!"

(The bonus chapter for the "I Am Guild Leader" story is still not finished; there are two more plot points to go. But I can't wait until it's finished before posting it, or it will be too late. Please read the bonus chapter tomorrow morning.)
(Also, tomorrow is April, so please remember to vote if you have any! I'll add a bonus chapter for every 2000 monthly votes, and I'll try to update more!)
