After fulfilling his wish to attend the gamescom in Cologne in his previous life, Xu Meng became disenchanted with such large-scale exhibitions.
He found them noisy, busy, and tiring.
This time, he simply didn't come.
But even though he was absent in person, his quirky ideas were not—
On the third day of the game show, when players returned to Dream Building's booth, they saw a large, two-story device.
This behemoth was milky white, divided into upper and lower levels.
Each level had five compartments, each two meters high and one and a half meters wide, with plenty of room for a person to stand.
Facing the players was a layer of opaque glass.
The players outside couldn't see anything.
Kabo and Hoshino, who had come to play, met again, standing in front of this large device, looking around curiously.
Gong Feng, wearing a hat, stood at the booth opposite, also staring at this behemoth, unable to take his eyes off it.
Lu Cong, the executive planner of "Frost Snow Project," appeared, making a guest appearance as the event host.
He didn't immediately answer everyone's questions, but instead, he created suspense:
"I know everyone is curious about what this thing is; the answer to the question is right here."
He signaled the staff to push out a pillar from the backstage, with a large red button on top.
Everyone's gaze naturally locked onto the big red button.
—Such a standard button, anyone who sees it wants to press it…
"However, this is a surprise prepared by the boss for everyone, so I certainly can't be the one to press it."
"So… let's solve it using the players' method!"
"【Dragon Palace Treasure Hunt】, the winner gets the right to press the button!"
The audience in front of the booth cheered a few times, enthusiastically joining the game.
Dream Building also prepared a large screen and a host, providing live commentary for the competition.
However, most of the people on the scene were casual players who had never played "Frost Snow Project," so their skill level was generally not very high when they suddenly started.
The teammates were also temporarily formed based on the queuing numbers, so there was no real tacit understanding.
"Come on!"
The six winners played rock-paper-scissors for several rounds to determine the order.
A thin, long-haired young man placed his hand on the big red button and pressed it expectantly.
The large device in front of him rattled and flashed red and green lights.
Ten compartments lit up with milky white light at the same time, casting silhouettes of the characters inside onto the opaque glass.
As the music sounded, the people in the compartments also began to change poses, striking pose after pose.
The milky white light dimmed again, leaving only one compartment brightly lit.
As the "Frost Snow Project" gacha sound effect rang out, the light moved quickly between the compartments, illuminating the silhouettes inside one by one.
A group of people at the scene subconsciously held their breath.
Huan Yue and Valiant Sniper, based on the clothing outlines of the characters inside, had already recognized several characters, and were also extremely excited at this time.
Finally, the light stopped in the middle compartment on the first floor.
The players at the scene were super supportive, cheering and applauding before the person inside even came out.
A rapid drumbeat sounded at the scene, and at the climax of the drumbeat, the originally opaque glass suddenly became completely transparent!
A coser wearing a light green, ultra-high-slit cheongsam, with white jade trim around her waist, almost completely exposing one whole side of her body to the air, appeared in everyone's sight!
Under the carefully prepared lighting, the professional coser turned her body to the side, touched the ground with one foot, raised her knee, extended her skirt, held a gun in one hand, and a folding fan in the other, striking a handsome pose.
The scene was briefly silent for two seconds.
Then, a howl-like cheer immediately rang out!
Enthusiastic applause echoed non-stop, and a dense mass of mobile phones and cameras were raised high, taking crazy pictures of the Qing Ling coser in the compartment, with the flashes almost blinding everyone on stage.
"So… she's the one I drew?" The lottery player said blankly.
Lu Cong nodded.
"Then can I take her home?" The long-haired young man asked again.
"Huh? ? ?"
Lu Cong looked seriously at this guy, did you know what you were saying?
"Unfortunately, no."
"But you can take a photo with her and get a commemorative badge of the corresponding character."
As he spoke, the Miss Qing Ling coser had already walked out from the back and came to the front of the stage.
Taking photos, signing autographs, handing out small gifts in person, and then politely sending them off the stage.
The long-haired young man felt that it was outrageous that the girl he drew couldn't be taken home, and left the stage with great regret.
After that, his five teammates also completed the "card draw" one after another.
Ruo Yue, Vivian, Bulwark, and Bai Wei were successively drawn—Bai Wei's coser was drawn twice.
After finishing this round of card draws, the competition reopened.
However, after this, the intensity of the competition greatly increased!
—Everyone really wanted to beat their opponents and draw a coser on the spot!
“Wife” can't be taken home, it's okay, the act of “drawing cards in reality” itself is a huge reward!
For many "whale spenders", "drawing cards" itself is a very enjoyable thing.
Being able to play a round in reality, and the one drawn is a super-bodied, super-high-value, living beautiful girl…
No one can refuse this temptation!
So everyone played super seriously, and the communication and cooperation between teammates became more and more frequent and loud.
After determining the victory and defeat, the winners cheered and jumped for joy, and the losers were heartbroken.
The program effect has been greatly improved!
This huge "card draw simulator" was started again and again.
The cosers who were drawn came out one after another, taking photos and interacting with the winners.
At this time, everyone thought that this was the surprise prepared by Xu Meng, and they had fully invested in this card-drawing game.
Until Kabo, Hoshino, and Niiiko entered the same team and took the victory.
Hoshino pressed the big red button, and the familiar card-drawing sound effect and lighting effect were staged again.
After a few rounds, the light flowed slower and slower…
At the moment when the drumbeat stopped, the light representing "drawn" dimmed.
"Is there a malfunction?"
Many people had just jumped out of this thought when they were startled by a stronger, more surging music!
In the passionate music, all the lights lit up.
The glass of all 10 compartments turned transparent at the same time, and 10 cosers made a dazzling appearance together!
They struck poses one after another, exuding charm towards Hoshino, who had drawn the card.
For a time, they were all vying for beauty, so lively.
The crowd at the scene was dazzled and didn't know who to look at for a while.
Under this powerful visual impact, Hoshino was even stunned in place.
When 10 cosers came out from behind and huddled around him to take photos with him, his limbs were still stiff, and he didn't dare to move around.
His eyes were also staring straight at the camera, and he didn't dare to look at the group of beautiful girls around him at all.
It seemed that these girls were tigers that would eat people.
Huan Yue, watching this scene from the audience, gritted his teeth with anger, wishing he could rush up and replace him!
He grabbed the arm of Valiant Sniper beside him and said fiercely:
"Give me a good fight later!"
"If you lose, don't go back to China!"
"Find a new home in Tokyo Bay!"
Just as Valiant Sniper was about to say something, Lu Cong walked forward again with a few hand cards.
He said to Hoshino: "Congratulations on drawing the surprise prepared by the boss."
"This is only chance, your luck is really good!"
—Neither the time-guaranteed nor the number of draws-guaranteed mechanism was activated, this time it was really pure luck.
"In addition to the group photo, you will also get a VR glasses set presented by Dream Building."
"Finally, draw a card."
"What is this?" Hoshino asked curiously, looking at the card in Lu Cong's hand.
"Information." Lu Cong said concisely.
So Hoshino drew one at random, and his eyes widened in surprise when he saw the content.
Lu Cong took the card and couldn't help raising his eyebrows.
"You drew the grand prize on the first try!"
"The information drawn by this player is—"
"《War of Kings》, will be launched simultaneously on PC, Game Box, and Dream Building Game Platform on November 1st!"
(2/3) Asking for monthly tickets for the third update!
