Chapter 323 Warmth or rebate, that is the question
After exploring and fighting all the way, Cody and Xiaomei finally arrived at the innermost part of the hive.
Here, they met the final BOSS of the entire treehouse level—the Mechanical Queen.
This is a wasp-style giant mecha assembled from discarded parts.
The Mechanical Bee Queen not only has a lot of HP, but also has many wasp guards.
Even though the two men were equipped with rubber guns and match crossbows, they had to go through several rounds of hard battles before they managed to destroy it.
With the big explosion, the head of the mechanical bee queen also fell to the ground, which is the control room of this huge mechanical bee.
What is surprising is that when the cockpit cover opened, what rolled out was not an aggressive and fierce bumblebee, but a chubby, round little bumblebee with short wings, a furry body.
Yes.
This big tree house was originally the home of little bumblebees.
But suddenly one day, the bumblebees came.
The gentle and timid little bumble bee is naturally no match for the hornets, so the little bumble bee uses waste materials to build this mechanical queen to give orders to the wasps, protect itself and at the same time give itself some honey, just like a seagull. The whole order of pier fries is the same.
But now.
As the mechanical shell was blown up by Cody and Xiaomei, Bumblebee's disguise also failed.
The bumblebees immediately discovered that it was not of the same kind, so they stepped forward to kill the little bumblebee.
At the critical moment, the little bumblebee took the two people to fly away from the huge hive. At the last moment, Cody fired the sap and Xiaomei fired a match to ignite it. The two of them jointly detonated the little bumblebee's honey jar, and completely eliminated the danger in the big tree house. huge wasp hive.
The task is completed.
The two returned to General Squirrel's base to resume their duties.
But when General Squirrel saw that they came back with a bee (squirrels don't understand the difference between bumblebees and bumblebees), he immediately thought that they had rebelled, so without saying a word, he ordered an attack on the two code-named 'Nuts'. 'The hoeing operation!
In desperation, Gu Sheng and Shen Miaomiao boarded the big pants plane.
An unprecedented and exciting air battle begins!
Shen Miaomiao, who was sitting on the gunnery position, was wearing windproof glasses, screaming excitedly and fully immersed in the task!
In the narrow tree hole, the fresh wind blew past my ears, making a hunting sound.
The scenes on both sides pass by quickly, making your adrenaline soar.
It was not that Shen Miaomiao had never flown in an airplane before, but this was the first time in her life that she had experienced a World War I-style biplane attack aircraft, and she was also a heavy machine gunner!
Rotating the fixed axis, Shen Miaomiao looked through the cannon's sight and aimed at the pinecone anti-aircraft gun on the left front:
“Report to the captain! Eleven o’clock left wing! Pine cone cannon! Request to attack!”
Woo woo—
Amidst the sound of the plane gliding, Gu Sheng shouted in the team voice:
“Permission to fire! Machine gunner! Kill them!”
"receive!"
Shen Miaomiao cheered and pulled the trigger of the machine gun!
Boom—! !
The anti-aircraft pinecone cannon was instantly destroyed by Shen Miaomiao's powerful firepower.
And she hasn’t even waited for her celebration!
嗵! laugh-!
I saw another pine cone anti-aircraft gun firing among the trees and vines in front of me on the right.
The huge exploding pine cone was launched towards them like a missile!
With Shen Miaomiao's scream, she saw that the fighter jet was about to collide head-on with the Pinecone missile!
At this critical moment!
——
Gu Sheng twisted the joystick, and the fighter plane performed a difficult barrel roll in the air. The plane instantly flipped 180 degrees, and the Pinecone missile almost flew past Shen Miaomiao's head!
“Wu—Hu—!!”
Shen Miaomiao's heart rate immediately increased!
It’s so exciting!
At the same time, the machine gun in his hand burst out with tongues of fire, blowing up the anti-aircraft gun. At the same time, he also did not forget to praise his captain:
“You’re so handsome, Lao Gu! Wow! You’re so handsome! When did you learn to fly a plane! You’re so handsome!!”
Ha ha!
Hearing this, Gu Sheng laughed and said silently about his past life.
I have flown over the Pearl of the Orient where the war was raging, I have dominated the sky on the smoke-filled Iwo Jima, and I have traveled across the Sinai Desert where the yellow dust is billowing.
I have caught countless French fries. I am a nightmare for infantry soldiers, a destroyer of ground vehicles, and a lifelong enemy for AA people.
It's just a barrel roll, not worth mentioning.
The operational feel of this air battle was good, and the experiment was a great success. I will accumulate data for future air battles.
Thinking of this, Gu Sheng laughed:
“Don’t worry, sit still and hold on tight, there’s still one more round left!”
Hush—! !
Speaking!
I saw Gu Sheng returning the plane to the right position.
The wooden door in front is slowly closing, and the tail of the underpants fighter jet sprays flames and accelerates suddenly!
Amidst Shen Miaomiao's exclamations, the two of them managed to get through the siege of General Squirrel and flew out of the tree hole!
Then, before they could breathe a sigh of relief.
Hoo-hoo-!
Two squirrel fighter planes made of grass blades suddenly bit their tails!
Da da da da da—
The pine nut machine gun fired, and there were several holes in the big pants in an instant.
Shen Miaomiao shrank her neck and screamed in surprise, but then she pulled the trigger again, the cannon roared, and she fired back at the Squirrel fighter plane.
Fly! chase!
Gu Sheng rolled with high intensity to avoid the intensive fire from the pursuing enemy, like a hawk soaring in the dense forest with crisscrossed branches.
The tree shadows were passing by quickly. Shen Miaomiao cooperated with Gu Sheng's defensive maneuvers and roared with the machine gun in her hand, shooting down the pursuing Squirrel fighter planes one after another.
Boom! boom!
The sound of the explosion resounded among the dense branches of the big tree.
The roar of flames and explosions is like the symphony of war, playing in this absurd and bizarre fairy tale world.
Boom—! !
As the last Squirrel fighter plane was shot down!
The two of them finally flew out of the dense jungle and rushed towards the attic cabin where their daughter was.
But right now!
【Hey-ha-! ! 】
Suddenly, a roar came from the top of the tree.
Shen Miaomiao looked up and was suddenly startled!
Suddenly, a cloud of darkness suddenly struck in the mid-air.
General Squirrel suddenly rushed out, grabbed the vines and swung around, landing on the wing of the plane without missing a beat!
Bang!
Shen Miaomiao's machine cannon was instantly smashed and flew out.
Even she herself was almost thrown off if she didn't grab the wings of her pants in time!
“Ah—! Ha Mappi!”
Shen Miaomiao became angry immediately:
“You son of a bitch, give me back my cannon!!”
Stinky squirrels, they go back on their word and dare to pursue us!
Think of this!
Suddenly, an invisible force surged into Shen Miaomiao's heart. Various fighting posture techniques took effect through the action assistance system, making her instantly self-taught!
Two long health bars were displayed on the UI. Shen Miaomiao and General Squirrel assumed fighting postures at the same time, and the wings of the big pants instantly became a fighting venue!
“You—how dare you accumulate strength! You haven’t eaten yet! You’re going to kick my ass!”
“Sweep Tang’s leg, catch it, and kick sideways in the air! Ah da da da!”
“I—Uppercut!!”
…”
Hearing Shen Miaomiao fighting fiercely with the squirrel above his head, Gu Sheng couldn't help but laugh.
The plane flew over the fresh branches, and lush green colors grew among the criss-crossing vines.
The free wind swept over the wings, she was making noise, and he was laughing.
——
As the somatosensory hatch opened, at Shen Miaomiao's request, the two of them took a break, drank water, went to the toilet, etc.
Gu Sheng also walked out of the workroom and went to the living room to stretch his body a little. I looked at the time, it was already past twelve o'clock in the morning.
If it were normal, this would be the time to wash up and go to bed.
But today, they are still full of energy. After all, they have only been awake for five or six hours.
And I don’t know if everyone is like them, and they are all recharging their energy.
Turning on the projection, I saw that the live broadcast platform was full of anchors who were live broadcasting "Two People Go Together"!
The occasion was extraordinary, there were even more people than the live broadcast at 7 or 8 pm!
The game progress of most of the anchors is similar to them.
At this time, there is a heated discussion in the barrage——
‘Holy shit—this game is awesome! ’
“I thought the design of exclusive equipment was the ceiling, but it turned out to be an exciting air battle”
‘And after the aerial combat, there is still fighting! ’
‘Fighting is so fun, damn, Xiao Huang’s action-assisted skills are really not in vain, I will transform into JackyChen directly’
‘But in terms of graphics performance, it is still better on the PC platform. It becomes a horizontal version of fighting, which is very interesting.'
‘I’m just **** punching forward and forward! ’
‘This game is **** amazing’
“The organizers of GDC are probably grinning crookedly. An escape game was released at GDC, and this two-player game was released at GDCA. They are both masterpieces.”
‘I can’t stop whining. The more I play, the more reluctant I am to play, but I can’t control it.’
‘…’
Looking at it.
I heard the sound of clattering footsteps behind me.
Immediately afterwards, slender arms naturally wrapped around his neck, and her shoulders sank slightly. Shen Miaomiao, who stood on tiptoes, put her little face on his shoulders:
“What are you looking at?”
“Let’s see what the players say,”
As he spoke, Gu Sheng asked again:
“What do you think?”
“Fun,”
Shen Miaomiao answered without thinking:
“I have never played such a fun game, but it also has some flaws.”
"oh?"
Hearing this, Gu Sheng raised his eyebrows slightly and asked:
“What’s the fly in the ointment?”
See Shen Miaomiao pondering for a moment:
“Although in the somatosensory cabin, the performance of the game has been significantly improved, and the sense of immersion is unparalleled,”
“But there’s a little less feeling…um…what does it feel like…”
“Yes,”
Gu Sheng also asked:
“How does it feel?”
"Um-"
Seeing Shen Miaomiao ponder for a moment, she loosened her arms around Gu Sheng's neck, stepped towards the sofa, and sat down with a plop, a flash of inspiration flashed:
“That’s right! It doesn’t feel like messing around in the kitchen anymore!”
Yes.
The immersive experience of the somatosensory cabin is indeed wonderful.
But Shen Miaomiao always felt that this game seemed to be missing something.
But the problem is, it’s obvious that “Two Players” and “Escape” are the same type of games. Why didn’t I feel such a sense of shortcoming in “Escape”?
Think about it.
It wasn’t until she sank into the sofa and felt the familiar feeling of relaxation that Shen Miaomiao realized where this feeling of deficiency came from—
Persons traveling in pairs seem to lack a sense of warmth of cuddling with each other.
Although we are in the somatosensory cabin and can immerse ourselves wholeheartedly in this fairy tale world, the distance between us is also widened by the thick somatosensory cabin.
ˆ Novelty, excitement and playability are indeed enough.
However, the warmth of two people sitting together holding a controller and completing the level is greatly reduced.
Speaking of which, ever since they cleared the Wacky Kitchen and helped the Onion King defeat the Pasta Demon, it has been a long, long time since they sat down and played games together.
“Of course, I’m just talking.”
Thinking of this, Shen Miaomiao bared her little white teeth and smiled.
This game is great enough.
Unheard of forms of cooperation, unprecedented novel experiences, and all kinds of surprises.
I can’t be too talkative. You can’t have your cake and eat it too. Now that you’ve experienced novel gameplay and modes, don’t be greedy anymore.
Besides!
If this game is really released on the PC platform, the gameplay will probably lead to a huge sales explosion.
You know, since the "Two People Go" project was established, the most critical reason why she has never interfered or discouraged Lao Gu's normal announcements is that the investment in this game project is too high, and the settlement time is too short. —
The total investment in this game has reached a terrifying 212 million U.S. dollars.
Including a 25% commission, their sales need to reach 283 million to be considered a return on investment.
At a selling price of 60 knives per copy, a total of 4.72 million units need to be sold!
And!
Like "Escape", "Two People" also has a sales model where one person can buy it and two people can play it.
In other words, if they want "Two Players" to make money back, they need to at least attract the support and play of more than 9 million players within the specified time!
This is simply impossible.
Because so far, the combined global sales of somatosensory cabins by Yiyou and Xunteng are just over nine million.
Unless "Two Players" can be a perfect match for these 9 million players, and everyone wants to play the game.
Otherwise, this project document would simply not be completed.
not to mention!
The settlement time given in this document is only two weeks and 14 days.
No matter how hard Gu Sheng tries, the market is here, and he can never be bigger than the market, let alone replicate the miracle of Titanfall, which accounted for 103% of the market.
Hence, Shen Miaomiao has not paid much attention to this project, and has not even asked about it. She is just lying down and waiting for the rebate.
There would be no warm gaming experience without a controller.
There is no warmth but rebates.
Anyway, tomorrow, after they clear the level, they will have plenty of time to get tired of it.
Thinking of this, Shen Miaomiao stood up, grinned, and pulled Gu Sheng up, her big eyes full of expectation:
“Let’s go, let’s stop looking, I can’t wait to see what the next level is…”
However!
The words have not yet finished!
He saw Gu Sheng bending down.
Hand took out a pair of wireless elite controllers from the side table of the sofa and handed one of them to her.
