Chapter 96: Sword and the Distant Realm Has Been Released!

Mr. Qin not only rented out the entire first floor of the exhibition center, he also brought over a hundred computers.

This is the trial area!

In Huaxia, no one has ever tried such an offline event before.

Not only that, Mr. Qin is truly a master of operations.

If Lu Yu hadn't released Legend two days early using a clever trick, probably no one would have paid attention to Legend at all.

At this time, the exhibition center already had twenty or thirty reporters in place, plus twenty or thirty company representatives.

Moreover, the number of spectators who came over actually reached one or two hundred!

The scene was enormously vast.

Lu Yu and Chen Qiao, following the invitation, took seats in the front.

Lu Yu glanced around and noticed that the surroundings matched the theme of Sword and the Distant Realm perfectly; being here immediately gives one the feeling of entering the game world.

The big screen in front was continuously playing the promotional video for Sword and the Distant Realm.

……

After a while, Mr. Qin arrived and walked straight onto the stage.

Flashes kept going off as reporters repeatedly snapped photos of Mr. Qin.

Others kept clapping.

For a moment, the atmosphere became extremely lively.

Mr. Qin came to the front of the stage, smiled and waved at the crowd below, then picked up the microphone.

"Everyone, I'm very glad you could come to the launch event of our Sword and the Distant Realm."

"Everyone knows Sword and the Distant Realm is an online game."

"Now let me lead everyone into Sword and the Distant Realm."

As Mr. Qin's voice fell, the venue lights dimmed.

The screen in front became brighter, and a solemn music began to play.

The promotional video for Sword and the Distant Realm appeared again on the front screen.

Then Mr. Qin began to explain.

……

Lu Yu couldn't help but stare at Mr. Qin.

To be honest, the design of Sword and the Distant Realm is really good.

The story is set in ancient times when a dragon destroyed the world; warriors, to defend their homeland, picked up their swords and set out to slay the dragon.

The story background has a strong Western flavor and indeed can stir people's passion.

However, the game's classes are very limited, only swordsmen.

The game's content is also relatively simple: just keep leveling up, fighting monsters, and finally slaying the dragon.

Of course, this process can be done in teams.

This is actually… just a single-player game that allows multiplayer connection.

It hardly exhibits any characteristics of an online game.

But in this era, such a game can be considered stunning.

Lu Yu actually never cared about the game; he was focused on Mr. Qin.

Lu Yu actually now feels as if he has traveled through time and space, as if he were sitting at a product launch.

He couldn't help but marvel again: Mr. Qin truly is a genius in operations.

If it weren't for Legend, Sword and the Distant Realm would surely have swept the nation.

With Mr. Qin's promotional approach, no one could resist.

……

And at noon, Mr. Qin opened the game's download channel.

Mr. Qin also deliberately, in front of everyone, released the download data.

One can see……

The download speed is increasing rapidly!

Just one hour later, it had reached 300,000!

By afternoon, Sword and the Distant Realm's downloads had reached 500,000, and the growth speed was still increasing!

It looks like just today, the download volume will break one million!

This is greater and faster than Legend's download numbers!

As for this, Chen Qiao was a bit worried.

"Little Yu… Sword and the Distant Realm's momentum is fierce." Chen Qiao couldn't help but say.

Lu Yu smiled and said, "Let's go, there's nothing more to see next."

Lu Yu did not answer Chen Qiao's question.

Chen Qiao actually still wanted to stay; he wanted to see the day's results for Grand Plan.

However, Lu Yu said that, so he could only follow Lu Yu away.

As for the technical department staff who came with them, they stayed behind to trial-play Sword and the Distant Realm.

At this moment, Lu Yu and Chen Qiao had already arrived outside the hall.

"Little Yu, what do you think of Grand Plan and Sword and the Distant Realm?" Chen Qiao finally couldn't help but ask.

Lu Yu glanced back, then said, "In the next one or two years, Legend will become the sole online game."

Having said that, Lu Yu then walked forward inside.

Chen Qiao was stunned, and for a moment he didn't react.

By the time he reacted, Lu Yu had already entered his car.

Chen Qiao moved his throat, but he didn't know what to say to Lu Yu.

At this moment... his whole body was trembling.

In the next one or two years, will Legend become the only online game?

How overbearing this statement is!

This almost says that Grand will become a top-tier game company in the country, and there's no second!

……

Actually, Lu Yu still had one thing he hadn't said.

If I hadn't gone to make a new game, Legend would indeed be the sole ruler of online games for the next one or two years.

But of course, these don't matter anymore.

What matters is that Sword and Distant has already been released.

So……

What are the netizens' reactions now?

Especially those players who downloaded Legend early.

……

Lin Shen naturally knew today was the release day of Sword and Distant.

In fact, he had long obtained an invitation to the launch event venue.

He originally decided to go to the venue himself to watch Sword and Distant's release.

But he ultimately didn't go.

Because……

Lin Shen's level in Legend had already reached fourteen; he was just a bit of experience away from reaching fifteen!

He can't get away!

But of course, Lin Shen still downloaded Sword and Distant right away.

Ding-dong!

About an hour later, Lin Shen heard the sound of the download completing.

He was just about to open the installation when he suddenly discovered that someone had sent a team invitation to him on the Legend screen.

Lin Shen accepted the invitation without any hesitation.

"Brother, your leveling speed is fast; you've been playing these past two or three days, right?"

"Let's team up to go kill wild monsters and level up."

"I found a cave; there should be boss-level wild monsters inside."

"Let's go take down that boss together; it should drop something different."

The other party sent a message.

Boss? Cave?

Lin Shen's eyes widened instantly.

From the start of the game until now, he had only been killing small wild monsters around town to level up; he had never explored this world at all.

"All right, let's go!" Then Lin Shen and his teammates left the novice village and conducted their first exploration.

They ran forward on foot the whole way, and it took a full twenty minutes before they finally arrived at a cave.

"This is the place."

"I've never gone in before, and I don't know how dangerous it is inside."

"Anyway, be careful."

The teammate said.

He nodded all over, then the two entered the cave together.
