The virtual empire starts from the game

Chapter 334 Hunting the Development Team! (Seeking monthly tickets)
"good morning everyone!"

"Welcome to the live broadcast room, watch this [Hunting Development Team] event!"

Xu Meng sat on the dark green sofa and greeted the audience in front of the camera with a smile.

The audience in the live broadcast room also responded to him:

"Good morning, good morning!"

"Good morning, Boss Xu!"

"May the Digital Emperor be blessed with good health!"

"The Binary Emperor is immortal!"

"Hail Emperor!"
“Long live the Son of Internet!”

……

This is also part of the aftermath of the Internet war.

Netizens gave Xu Meng all kinds of nicknames and made fun of her on social networks.

The impact of this trend is incredibly widespread.

Many programmers now pray that their code will be bug-free. Instead of praying to Yongzheng and von Neumann, they start praying to Xu Meng.

Xu Meng even saw a 3D printed cartoon figure of himself in the Monster Hunter development office.

Xu Meng was speechless for a long time, and just said: "Don't be superstitious, don't be a personality cult."

Xu Meng is so tolerant towards his own employees, so he certainly won’t take those netizens who make jokes in the live broadcast room to heart.

Just pretend not to see it and continue to recite the lines:
"First of all, I have good news to share with you - the total sales of Monster Hunter across all platforms has exceeded 3000 million."

"To achieve this result, it is inseparable from everyone's support..."

Monster Hunter isn't what it used to be.

Considering that the sales volume on the first day exceeded 10 million, this sounds a bit exaggerated.

But it is what it is.

While DreamWorks was beating up technology and Internet giants and flexing its muscles around the world, "Monster Hunter", as the origin of the matter, also received an astonishing amount of exposure.

Especially when the battle was the most intense and the world's attention was the highest, the Monster Hunter development team did something cool:

A video of Xu Meng taking the lead in apologizing was released.

The traffic-generating effect this brings to "Monster Hunter" is explosive.

Before the server attack, Monster Hunter had sold 1600 million copies across all platforms.

After this Internet war ended, this number had doubled to 3200 million!

The original sales target for one quarter was completed in less than a week.

The "Monster Hunter" development team has already started planning a celebration party.

——By the way, Xu Meng’s war declaration [Gentlemen, I like war] also brought huge exposure to "Lord of War".

Plus the apology video that Lord of War followed soon after.

This game also attracted a lot of traffic and its sales also soared.

Only "Frost and Snow Plan" did not get the boss's popularity. The traffic obtained by an apology video alone was really small, and the data gain was not that exaggerated.

But it is also of some help.

So much so that when players saw the sales growth of "Monster Hunter" and "Lord of War" and the changes in the revenue data of "Frost Project" on third-party statistical platforms, they couldn't help but complain:

"No wonder you were all so eager to jump out!"

"So it turns out that he is not here to apologize, but to take advantage of the popularity!"

The development team remained silent, but ran to Xu Meng's office and asked the boss to make an apology video in case of any emergency.

Especially the "Frost and Snow Project" project team.

This time, Xu Meng was not present in their apology video, which was a big loss for them.

This time, they all came to Jinghu to find Xu Meng just to record an apology video.

Xu Meng found it a little funny.

But I still cooperated and recorded it.

……

"Thank you again for your love for Dream Building."

"Next, regarding the abnormal server fluctuations, the development team has now completed the compensation that they promised to give everyone."

"When I said this, the backstage should have already sent it to everyone."

On the first day after the end of the Internet war, the operating teams of the three games and Mansheng Metropolis announced their compensation to the players.

The sprawling city compensates the user with credit points and a set of Victorian-style antique furniture.

"Frost and Snow Plan" is simple and crude, and directly provides 20 consecutive draws.

In order to justify giving away gifts, "Lord of War" even released a trailer for the large DLC "Tank Battle" in advance, and announced that in order to compensate the players' losses, this large DLC will be converted into a free update.

Only Monster Hunter is a bit troublesome.

Unlike other project teams that have ready-made things to compensate, Monster Hunter has been busy with the release of the game and did not foresee this accident.

There is nothing on hand that can be used to compensate the players immediately.

We can only issue a notice first to explain the compensation content:
A gorgeous cloak that supports custom patterns, and a golden crown exclusive to the [Eternal Hunting Grounds] mode.

At this moment, these two props appeared on the small table in front of Xu Meng.

Xu Meng stood up from the sofa, picked up the cloak and showed it to everyone.
-

The brave sniper who was broadcasting live also took out props from the email at the same time.

The original shape was a cloak with a black base and a dragon head embroidered in gold thread. He just looked at it for a few seconds and then put it away.

We are about to have a big battle with the development team, so it’s better not to wear these decorations that will hinder our movements.

The crown is different.

The brave sniper held it in his hand and looked at it for a long time.

When the netizens were almost impatient, he said uncertainly: "This is not actually compensation, but a souvenir of [BitStorm], right?"

The brave sniper showed the water friends the system introduction of this golden crown——

[Crown of the Storm]: Commemorates a grand invisible storm. (Exclusive item for the [Eternal Hunting Ground] mode)
……

"This storm is the Bit Storm, right?"

"Boss Xu is really... very considerate!"

"I just became the digital emperor and I gave away 3000 million crowns."

"What is this? This is [my glory, and you have a share of it]!"

The heroic sniper said this as he put the golden crown on himself.

Golden light immediately radiated from the crown, and a straight beam of light went straight up into the sky!

The heroic sniper was bathed in golden light, adding a bit of majesty and holiness.

But the problem is-

"Is the development team sick?!"

"This is an exclusive item for the [Eternal Hunting Ground] mode!"

"What is the Eternal Hunting Ground? It's a place where everyone ambushes and kills each other!"

"You made such a big beam of light, are you afraid that others won't come to attack???"

The brave sniper complained madly, thinking that this prop was ridiculous.

The live broadcast room was full of laughter:
"The development team of [Eternal Hunting Ground] is sick. Did you just find out about this today?"

"I knew about this mode on the first day it was released! Can you imagine how I felt when the first weapon I picked up was the [Palm of Desolation]?"

"What's so special about that? I once picked up a set of legendary armor called [Emperor's Sacred Armor]. Guess what? After putting it on, my character was left with only his underwear!"

"And the Rocket Boots! That's ridiculous! I thought I could just use the Dragon Sword without thinking, but I couldn't control the direction when I flew!"

“It would be surprising if a development team that integrates emoticons into a chat channel could function normally!”

……

In the official live broadcast room, Xu Meng was very clear about how outrageous this crown was.

So he didn't show it at all.

After only introducing how to customize the pattern on the back of the cape, I skipped the crown and went to the next step -

"Next, it's the [Hunting Development Team] that everyone has been waiting for!"

"It starts at 9am and goes till 5pm."

"All members of the development team will wear somatosensory synchronization suits to join the game, and the intensity of the electric current stimulation will not be less than 60%!"

"And all players who kill members of the development team will get a surprise!"

"I can assure you, it will be a pleasant surprise!"

“Players who want to compete with the development team should not miss this opportunity.”

"Oh, by the way, there is one more thing I haven't explained—"

“People might be worried: What if I can’t recognize the members of the development team?”

"Regarding this, I can also assure you: Don't worry, the development team members are all wearing special costumes and are very conspicuous!"

"As long as they appear in your sight, you will definitely find them at the first time!"

"Now, I'm going to start the countdown."

“At the moment the countdown ends, the development team members will start matching at the same time.”

"Friends who want to play together, please be prepared!"

The viewers in the live broadcast room are eager to try.

许梦完全不墨迹，快速完成倒数：“5！4！3！2！1！”

"start!"

The speed was so fast that it even caught many players off guard.

After a moment's pause, he quickly pressed the [Match] option.

At this moment, there are millions of players [matching] at the same time!

And the matching of these millions of people was completed in just a few seconds.

The entire Monster Hunter development team of nearly 300 employees are scattered on each competition map like flowers from heaven.

The players who had been prepared for a long time immediately took action the moment the teleportation was completed, searching for weapons, armor, potions, Kinsects and other resources.

The brave sniper was no exception and rushed towards the nearest house at full speed.

The moment I entered the door, another person came in through the window.

If it were any other time, he would have already kicked up at this time.

But not this time.

This time, he was stunned.

He immediately understood why Xu Meng said that he could recognize the development team as soon as he saw them.

Because what appeared before him was a person wearing a one-piece frog suit.

The man came in and didn't even see him. He just stuck his butt out and started looking for supplies as if no one was around.

The Heroic Sniper looked at it for a few seconds before he couldn't help but ask, "Are you from the development team?"

The frog-faced man was startled and slowly turned his head, revealing a round frog face that was both silly and funny.

"No! Of course not!" The frog suit man shook his head frantically.

The brave sniper raised his head slightly and glanced at the name on the frog man's head.

"Ge Ming?"

The frog man Ge Ming ran away!

"Don't run!" The brave sniper started chasing after him!

"I won't hit you! Let's talk first! Let's talk!"

"What the hell!" Ge Ming lowered his head and ran wildly, refusing to stop no matter what the brave sniper said.

Being killed by a player once is no big deal.

But it would be such a shame to be the first one to be killed!
If he was beaten to death with fists, it would be an embarrassment as huge as the Pacific Ocean!
