The virtual empire starts from the game

Chapter 475 "Sprawling City Midday News" (asking for monthly tickets)
While everyone was discussing how Dream Building would handle this matter, they also determined one thing -

The possibility that the Breda Plantation incident will be published on the Caribbean Lookout is as high as 99%.

So naturally, many of the players involved in this event began to wonder if they could "be on TV".

"Caribbean Lookout" is a special program with a "rating" of tens of millions.

That’s more than the total population of many countries, not to mention the number of TV stations.

Such exposure is undoubtedly attractive to players who like to be famous and show their faces.

Of course, some people look forward to becoming famous.

Some people prayed, "Never."

Just like Pang Yun now.

After Pang Yun’s internet connection was cut off, he thought he would be so anxious that he wouldn’t be able to sleep.

But in fact, he fell asleep immediately and lost consciousness in less than three minutes.

When I woke up again, it was already the next day.

The “offline lockdown” is over.

But when I opened the phone, I almost threw it away again.

I even hope that the punishment of disconnection from the Internet will last a little longer.

——He was badly scolded by players all over the world.

The worst thing is: he still uses his real name to go online.

His name was posted on the front page of news websites all over the world, and he was cursed by players all over the world!
I really wanted to kowtow and apologize.

At this time, he was really afraid that the incident of his fall in the ring would be broadcast again by Caribbean Lookout.

But most of the time, things in life are not as we wish.

Before he even waited for "Caribbean Lookout", he was "killed" by Dream Building.
-
At 12:30 noon, the official account of Mansheng Metropolis suddenly started broadcasting.

But the program broadcast was not "Caribbean Lookout", but a new program -

"Sprawling Metropolis Midday News"

Netizens rushed into the live broadcast room with a lot of questions in their heads:

"What's going on? Another show? Is Dream Building really planning to start a TV station?"

"Okay, okay, the rice is just out of the pot, the more programs to go with the rice, the better."

"So this isn't news about Sail in the Blue Sea, but about the Sprawling City?"

"Has anything happened in the Sprawling City recently?"

"A meteorite fell from the sky? But that happened a week ago."

"Wait, where's my Sissi? Who are these old men and women?"

"It looks familiar, where have you seen it before?"

……

Players were surprised to see:

Sitting on the stage were not the familiar Han Dong and Tang Qian, but two unfamiliar old men and women.

Many people feel that these two old men and women look familiar.

But I can’t tell where I’ve seen it before.

Dream Building was also outrageous. It didn't use subtitles to introduce the names of the two hosts, but just started the news broadcast directly.

"Good afternoon, Mansheng City!"

The old man read out today's hottest and most dynamic keywords in his old and hoarse voice, giving the audience a wonderful sense of contrast.

Next, when the old lady spoke, the contrast became even stronger——

With a gentle and kind expression and voice, she read out a piece of outrageous news:

"In the past week, thanks to a large number of residents leaving the sprawling cities and heading to the Caribbean to develop, the city's crime rate has dropped by 60%!"

"Theft and robbery incidents occurred only 3842 million times."

"Law enforcement casualties fell to 328 million."

"The total number of traffic accidents decreased by 40% month-on-month to just over 475 million."

"The number of street beggars has plummeted by 90%."

"The average daily death toll among residents has dropped to below 50."

"Citizens generally believe that the city is safer, the landscape is more beautiful, and the life happiness index has greatly improved."

……

The old lady kindly reported these sensational figures.

The audience was completely shocked: "I suddenly feel a little sympathetic to the indigenous people... 50 people die every day on average, what kind of hell is this city!"

“Redefine [only].”

"Wow, 3842 million thefts and robberies, an average of more than 500 million a day? Is the city of Sprawl so chaotic???"

"It's so funny. 'Sailing in the Blue Sea' can also improve urban security."

"These beggars... I really thought they didn't have money to buy the game, and I actually gave them credit points, but it turns out they all fucking ripped me off?? As soon as the new game was released, they all ran to the Caribbean???"

……

Players only know that the Overgrowth in [Free Mode] is very lively.

No matter when you log in, you will never be bored.

There are indeed beggars on the streets, but there are also street performances.

Some people steal and rob, but there are also people who stand up for justice.

As for traffic accidents, this is more common.

After all, it is a complex three-dimensional transportation system, so it is reasonable that driving is a little difficult.

——Even if you are an experienced driver with many years of driving experience in real life, it is difficult to confidently say that you will never make mistakes when faced with the three levels of "roads" in the city, namely ground, low altitude and high altitude, as well as various complex regional rules such as lane changing, merging, no-fly zones, speed limit zones, etc.

Confrontations between robbers and police officers were rare in the past.

But since the emergence of strengthening paths such as dragon soul, swordsmanship, telepathy, organ mutation, etc., players' combat effectiveness has become stronger and stronger, and similar things have gradually become more and more frequent.

——At the beginning, everyone had no strength, and they dared to rob the armored car with simple knives, guns, sticks and clubs under the interview camera of CCTV.

Now with Dragon Soul Armor and Dragon Soul Weapons, their courage and destructive power naturally increased exponentially.

The old lady ended with a piece of news from the Public Security Bureau:
"The Sprawling City Management Council highly appreciates the work done by the Sheriff's Department."

"We also recognize the complexity and danger of managing public security in sprawling cities, and have passed the Law to Strengthen the Armament of Public Security Bureaus."

“Special funds will be allocated from the city management budget to strengthen the armed forces of the Public Security Bureau and provide citizens with a more harmonious, peaceful and prosperous living environment.”

While the old lady was reading the news, the director cut into a video clip at the right time:

Three large army green trucks were parked in front of the Sheriff's Bureau, and a group of police officers were excitedly carrying boxes downstairs.

Some people can't wait to open the box and admire their new weapons——

Assault rifles, anti-material sniper rifles, RPG rocket launchers, grenade machine guns, mines, mortars, night vision goggles, camouflage cloth, exoskeletons, hand cannons, mechanical dogs, drones...

The players were numbed by the boxes of shells and mines:
"Seriously? Which police department would place landmines in the city??"

"Grenade machine gun?? What the hell is this thing??"

"Do you really treat the players as little devils?"

But some people are keenly aware of one thing:

"What great stuff! Anyone want to go to the Sheriff's Office to buy some?"

"Are these trucks still outside the Sheriff's Office? Come get some stock, guys!"

"If I can get a ticket..."

……

Some of the audience were shocked and complained, while others were eager to try.

The two old men and women were as steady as a rock, showing no signs of abnormality, and continued to report professionally:
"The first Dragon Fighting Competition is about to begin."

"The competition audition stage will be held in the Sprawling City. All residents with a dragon soul above level eight can sign up to participate in this competition."

"The 100 contestants who pass the audition will receive an upgraded [holographic belt]."

"Mr. Xu Meng, the chairman of the City Management Council, and Ms. Meng, the vice chairman, will invite these 100 contestants to the Duel City to compete for the final championship gold belt and the 800 million cash prize!"

This is another completely unexpected news.

And there are so many explosive points!

The players didn't know which one to discuss first:

"Dragon Fighting Competition! I knew that Zhu Meng would definitely organize this! And it's here as expected!"

"Eighth-rank dragon soul? Who are you looking down on?!"

"Another 800 million! I finally understand. Xu Meng likes this number."

"Upgraded holographic belt? You're not a big shot, you only sold 1.0 of the 10 version, and now you're making 2.0? Will you make money?"

"There won't be only 100 second-generation holographic belts, right? If I didn't get one this time, I'll wait and get the 10 third-generation ones next time?"

"Hurry up and mass produce it and sell it! I have prepared the money for half a year, but I haven't spent it yet!"

"Stop arguing, where is the Duel City? Is it a new map?"

"No! Xu Meng specially prepared belts for all the qualified players. It wouldn't be a random move. I seriously doubt this place is real!"
