Chapter 958 The Road to Transcendence (VII): Offline Celebration
The Heavenly Dynasty, the Demon Capital.
As one of the metropolis of the Eastern world, it has always been the central city of the Celestial Empire, an important international trade center and a comprehensive transportation hub.
With the increasing popularity of "Elf Kingdom", the annual offline celebration of "Elf Kingdom" has also become an influential social event, attracting a considerable number of gamers to participate every year. Big bosses from all walks of life gather here, and even the media compete to report.
To this day, "The Elf Kingdom" has more than just a game. With its super-high freedom comparable to the real world and its potentially capable thinking acceleration, it has affected all aspects of people's lives.
Whether it is using "Elf Kingdom" to produce film and television, or using "four times of time" to improve work and study efficiency, "Elf Kingdom" has shown great advantages and has been sought after by the whole society.
As for the elf culture in the game... it has become completely popular. Even the elderly and children can name one or two elf-wind music.
However, the official "Elf Kingdom" is as monotonous as ever. Even though the game has long become a social phenomenon, no one knows this company called World Tree Black Technology.
Including Tony.
Even Tony, who has always been very curious about unknown things, did not realize that he did not feel any inconsistency with such strange situation as World Tree Black Technology.
In the dark, there seems to be a force that is decreasing its existence. Even if someone mentions it on weekdays, he will unconsciously forget it while chatting.
Especially as there are more and more players in "Elf Kingdom", this downplay has almost become a part of people's lives. A considerable number of people, even the idea of who made the game "Elf Kingdom" will not appear.
From another perspective, this is also a manifestation of Eve's strength becoming stronger and stronger, and his ability to influence the Blue Star world is becoming stronger and stronger.
Of course, this is what players don’t know. Even among the many myths of the Seges universe, only Phinier, the fairy king who has been staying in the World Tree Kingdom, is more or less clear because he is in charge of the game system.
Tony arrived in the Yaodu at four o'clock in the afternoon.
His workplace was in the imperial capital of the Celestial Empire and he took a special plane to come.
There were already event reception staff at the airport waiting. He lit up his identity information and was enthusiastically picked up on the bus that specializes in picking up and dropping off players.
To Tony's surprise, there were actually a few passengers on the same flight who wanted to participate in the event, and they also came from the imperial capital, but he didn't know each other.
Two women look in their early thirties.
One tall and one short, talking and laughing. Tony listened roughly and seemed to be discussing the subsequent missionary on the Kaladia continent.
It is estimated that it is a priest player.
Tony couldn't help but listened to a few words and found that two women, especially the shorter ones, knew very well about the missionary in the game. The three or two missionary tips he said casually gave him a sense of amazement that he could still play like this.
You know, he is barely considered an intern priest, and his understanding of the priest profession is definitely not blank. He has also read some popular guides, which can shock him. He is definitely a big shot among the priests!
This is quite different from the information Tony had before.
He had long speculated that Meng Zhihan, the best forge in the server, should be a professional player, because she creates things very frequently and has good quality. This is not a simple task. Even with accelerated thinking, it may take a long time to complete it.
Meng Zhihan's production must be a fine product. Just selling magic props, she probably made money that others might not be able to make in their entire life.
By the way, there are now 80 million players in the entire server, and there are quite a lot of professional players who make money to support their families by making money from "Elf Kingdom".
As for the sale... I vaguely heard someone mentioning that the other party is a super academic master, but I didn’t expect that he was a graduate of Jinghua University and a university teacher.
However, Tony was somewhat regretful that both beautiful female players were already married.
The game brought several people closer together. They sat on the bus, talking and laughing, and gradually became familiar with each other.
On both sides of the street, you can see the tall billboards of "Elf Kingdom" from time to time. Next to the cinema passing by, you can also see the popular movie posters with "Elf Kingdom" as the background.
The melodious music came from the shops on both sides of the road. It was Tony's familiar elf-style music, which made people feel good unconsciously.
It has to be said that the influence of "The Kingdom of Elf" can be seen.
Tony has no doubt that this should be the game that has the greatest impact on reality in human history.
It is unprecedented and there may be no future.
The venue for the party is Tianchen Hotel, which is five-star.
It is said that the hotel is the property of its own president Xiao Xianmiao's family.
Tony still clearly remembers the shock in his heart when he just learned that the offline party was also the property where his president was also his own president.
Maybe...this is life.
Some people are rich in games, but they are very poor in reality.
Some people are not only rich in the game, but also look up to the reality.
No... Perhaps it is precisely because Xiao Xianmiao is not short of money in reality that he can quickly develop his own guilds and various industries in "The Elf Kingdom" at the beginning...
If you have money in reality, you are more likely to have money in the game.
Tony sighed in his heart.
When the bus arrived, it was almost five o'clock.
In front of the hotel, there were cars and people coming and going, which was very lively.
As Tony knows, at this time of year, offline celebrations will be held at Tianchen Hotel, and the exhibition center behind the hotel will also be used, which is also invested and operated by Xiao Xianmiao's company.
Since the past few years, more and more players have participated in offline celebrations every year, and the last time it reached 4,000.
It is worth mentioning that the participating players are divided into two types: invite players and registering players. The registered players are at their own expense, and the invitation players are free.
The number of invited players is very small, only 500 at a time. Only well-known players of "Elf Kingdom" or internal core members of Mengmeng Committee will become invited players. This time, Tony is also a member of the invited players.
At that time, the offline celebration venue will be in the exhibition center, and the hotel will be the venue for accommodation and small venues organized by various players.
After the grand celebration, players will have a party in the hotel's luxurious private room. For players who are qualified to invite, this is the highlight of getting to know more big shots.
As for the registered players, they can only move freely.
From this perspective, there is a big difference in the treatment of registered players and invited players for offline celebrations, and registered players even have to pay a high registration fee.
But even so, the tickets for offline celebrations every year were swept away. This year, 5,000 tickets were issued, and they were all snatched away in an instant.
There is a reason for this.
In addition to the grand performances related to "Elf Kingdom" held at the exhibition center every year, offline celebrations are also a good platform for many players to conduct offline transactions, especially some large guilds, who will choose to sell some good things in the game at this time.
For players who sign up, even if the probability is relatively small, it is easy to get to know some big shots, let alone the celebration and hypermarket, which is originally very fun.
By the way, hypermarkets are open to the public, so there will be quite a lot of players who have not successfully registered and will flock to the store to participate in various exhibitions and auctions.
In recent years, offline celebrations have become more and more abundant. It is hard to imagine that when the first event was held, only 500 people had a dinner together for a meeting.
By the way, every room in Tianchen Hotel has a sneak cabin. According to previous years' practice, in addition to offline activities, everyone will also log in to the game at night and continue to have a carnival online.
That's not just a carnival for the players participating in the conference. It is estimated that the entire Selected City will be as lively as a celebration. After all, hypermarkets and online transactions are conducted simultaneously.
Tony doesn't have anything to buy, but if he encounters someone he is interested in, he won't be stingy with his wallet.
This time, the most important thing is to meet those who often play together in the game.
It's interesting to say that although he is an American, his friends are more of the Celestialists.
Thinking of this, he followed the crowd into the hotel.
After presenting the invitation letter, Tony was soon warmly invited to the independent counter by the service staff, registered his identity in the envious eyes of other registered players, and sent a special handbag.
It contains the celebration schedule, room cards, information, and small gifts from the mobile room.
The gift is quite cute, it is the goddess's Q version doll.
Just as Tony took out the room card and checked his room number, a nice and surprised voice came over:
"Foreigner? Invitation letter? Wait... Are you Tony?!"
Tony's heart moved and he quickly turned around and saw a beautiful girl who looked in her twenties appeared in front of him.
Tony was still thinking about which friend of the Celestial Chronicle in the game he knew. He excitedly said hello after he had just finished the payment of the room card:
"Oh! Guoguo! You're getting more and more beautiful after not seeing each other for a year!"
Guoguo?
Who is that?
Tony was slightly stunned.
His brain was running rapidly and no similar ID was captured.
Until the girl sighed helplessly and said:
"Sister Chen, please call me the game ID. I'm always not used to it..."
"Hahaha, that's OK, Meow, long time no see~"
Qian Qian smiled.
Meow?
Tony was stunned again.
No, wait!
Meow...
Little Xian Meow?!
Chapter completed!
