Chapter 812: Countdown (Three Watches)
In the imperial capital at the end of March, the weather has warmed up.
Although like most northern cities in China, the imperial capital does not have spring and autumn seasons, but there are a few days a year when you can experience the feeling of spring flowers and suitable for going out.
The premise is that it is not windy.
"Elven World" is about to be officially launched, and for players, it is just spring, and there is one more reason to go out.
And the better place in this season is that China, Japan, South Korea, the United States, and Europe, these major markets are basically in a suitable period for going out, and the main countries and regions in the southern hemisphere are about to enter autumn, and the weather is okay. Of course, the area near the equator...... It's so hot all year round, it's fine.
After this period of publicity and warm-up, many players who have purchased matrix glasses can't wait to experience this new MR game.
In the period from the launch of smart glasses to the present, this new wearable smart product has formed a craze all over the world, on the one hand, it is suitable for more and more people, and on the other hand, the application and development of such devices are also more and more and more in-depth.
Walking on the streets of major cities, especially in shopping malls and other densely populated areas with more young people, you can see people wearing smart glasses everywhere, especially young people, but there are also many children or middle-aged people wearing them.
Driven by matrix glasses, most of the smart glasses have turned off the camera's camera and live broadcast functions, and the camera on the glasses is only used to collect information in the player's field of vision.
Therefore, people who do not wear smart glasses have gradually dissipated their concerns about whether smart glasses will invade their privacy, and most people will face it with a more tolerant attitude when they see people wearing smart glasses coming up to talk.
Moreover, smart glasses also give a lot of strangers an excuse to talk, while waiting for the bus, resting in the mall, shopping queue, some players wearing smart glasses can also play a relatively simple MR game with each other to pass the time.
In any case, this new smart device is gradually entering people's lives, just like the popularization of smartphones before, facilitating people's lives and changing people's lifestyles.
……
The new headquarters of Thunder Interactive Entertainment.
The overall structure of the building has been fully formed, and the huge sphere and the surrounding thunder structure can already be clearly seen from a distance. It's just that it's still a construction area, so you can't enter it.
But there are a lot of people gathered in the surrounding streets.
They were all wearing matrix glasses, chatting and waiting for something.
Lin Xue got out of the taxi and was shocked to find that there were so many people around.
"Wow, how many people! Are these all players waiting for the launch of "Elven World"? Oh, isn't this Zou Zhuo, he's even there! ”
Lin Xue secretly touched the back of the little fat man and stabbed the little fat man's waist coldly.
"Wow!" Zou Zhuo was startled, and when he looked back, Lin Xue was looking at him with a wicked smile.
"Surprise me! Why are you here too? Zou Zhuo asked.
Lin Xue smiled: "Do you ask for some reason, the new headquarters has not been renovated yet, what are you doing here, of course you are waiting to catch the elf!" ”
Zou Zhuo looked at the matrix glasses that Lin Xue was wearing, well, it was also the developer version.
"You're also on a live stream?" Lin Xue asked.
Zou Zhuo nodded: "It seems that today we are going to have a battle between anchors!" In a word...... I hope to catch a baby red dragon here! What do you want to catch? ”
Lin Xue said, "Uh...... Pea shooter, or pixel bird, I want to get a sprite who has a different art style from everyone! ”
Zou Zhuo: "...... Well, let's do it together! ”
Although none of the available versions of the matrix glasses have a camera function, some big streamers can still get the developer version. Of course, these photoshootable matrix glasses must be strictly limited to the identity of the user, and only those who are particularly influential and big streamers can get them, and use them for some special live broadcast needs.
Like what...... Live stream "Elven World".
This kind of MR game also requires anchors to open live broadcasts to promote, but because the special **** of the equipment and the real picture are mixed together, it can only strictly limit the qualifications of the anchors, and only a few big anchors have this permission.
The reason why many people gather at the new headquarters of Thunder Mutual Entertainment is also because they have learned a little bit of inside information in advance, that is, some specific locations will refresh more rare elves, and the probability of rare props will increase.
As for what is a specific location?
Obviously, the new headquarters of Thunder Interactive Entertainment must be one of the special locations......
Although everyone doesn't know if there will really be rare elves, it must be right to come to this place to catch elves at the same time as the "Elf World" is launched.
"So, there are still 10 minutes to go. I heard that this game is a global server, that is, if you have a very good elf, then if you go abroad to play, you can also go to the local gym, and you can also fight with a group of foreign friends. Lin Xue waited for the start of the service while chatting awkwardly with the barrage.
The client of the game has long been open for download, so interested players have already placed the client in advance, waiting to start playing directly as soon as the server is opened.
At this moment, Lin Xue saw that in the field of vision in front of her, a small animal with brown hair and rabbit ears that looked a bit like a squirrel flashed by.
"Huh? Am I dazzled? ”
Lin Xue thought she had seen it wrong, but the barrage on the screen reminded her that she was not mistaken, something flashed over just now.
"Look, heaven!"
I don't know who shouted, Lin Xue looked up, and saw a huge three-dimensional art countdown in the sky in the distance: 10:00:00.
Not only the new headquarters of Thunder Entertainment, but also landmarks in other cities around the world have also appeared on the countdown of the opening of the service, as long as players look up nearby.
Of course, these countdowns are displayed directly on the player's glasses using MR technology, and the angle of the letterwork displayed is determined according to the player's position.
As for the issue of time differences in different parts of the world...... Hatever, let him go. Anyway, countries basically use time zones, and it is enough to ensure that it is all on the hour.
It's not just the countdown, many players have noticed that all kinds of pokemon seem to be appearing nearby.
These pokemon are scattered, taking only a few hundred meters to occasionally come across one, hiding behind various buildings, or disappearing when the player sees them.
"Wow, that's interesting! There's another one! That's there too! ”
Lin Xue is like a child who sees a toy, everything is fresh.
Moreover, these pokemon do not exist only in a person's field of vision, but are displayed according to an algorithm. In other words, if Lin Xue and Zou Zhuo stood in different positions and looked at the same elf, they would both see it.
