Chapter 1119
PS: Thanks to book friend "Masked Rider of Mercury" for the tip, thanks for the support!
Main text:
"First, what I want to show you is the basic setting of the game. What is a basic setting? It ranges from the ecosystem and natural landscapes to local customs and ethnic traditions.
Combined, there are nearly ten million words of text material. That is to say, even if you don't play the game, just reading the books inside would take you a month to finish.
And this is just the test version; with version updates, there will be even more content later."
Luo Quan paused and continued: "Of course, many players will say, what's the use of making so much useless text? Who would really be bored enough to read books in a game?
Actually, this idea is biased. After all, the concept of building this game is to create a brand-new fantasy world, so if we don't fill in these details, how can we bring you a sense of reality and immersion?
By the way, this game also has a very realistic physics engine. You will see the specific forms when you enter the game; I won't spoil it here."
After speaking, Luo Quan opened the folder and continued to show the career paths that hadn't been shown before.
"By the way, my game producer told me that because the progress this time is quite fast, they have completed the tuning of the fantasy world ahead of schedule, so the internal test time will be significantly advanced.
Originally, we had to wait twenty days, but now it has been changed to five days later. So once midnight passes, everyone can sign up to participate in the lottery.
There are a total of 500,000 spots for this internal test, with 350,000 domestically and 100,000 abroad, mainly to see everyone's acceptance of the gameplay and the server's load capacity."
After Luo Quan said this, the comments instantly reached a climax:
"No way, advancing it by half a month? This is so impressive this time!"
"Luo Bao, you are my god!"
"Are there only 350,000 spots? It feels a bit small."
"Damn, 500,000 spots in total. The most popular online games currently only have 700,000 to 800,000 concurrent players. 500,000 spots is already quite a lot."
"League of Legends currently has tens of millions of monthly active users, and the concurrent players are at most one million."
"I feel like with my luck, there's probably no chance for me."
"I was thinking of waiting for computer parts to drop in price before getting a new one, but now I can only buy it at full price."
"With a 30,000-yuan high-end host, a mere online game is nothing."
"Damn, rich brother, Venmo me 50, let me see your strength."
………………
"How about it? Did you feel the taste of surprise this time?" Luo Quan looked at the camera and smiled proudly: "You always say I'm lazy, but actually, I just spent a considerable amount of energy to prepare a big surprise for you.
After all, I don't have the ability to clone myself, so it's impossible to satisfy everyone's requests while neglecting others.
So I can only try my best to do things I like. I believe everyone's taste should be similar to mine; if I like it, everyone probably won't hate it."
The fans replied immediately:
"I like wearing swimsuit photoshoots; I feel uncomfortable if I don't take them for a day. Luo Bao, do you like it?"
"The map of Yan is a bit short."
"Why are you always thinking about those swimsuit photoshoots? There are clearly so many beautiful clothes."
"What? Is Luo Bao preparing to cosplay again? What did I miss?"
"It's possible. No one said anything about the new game, but as soon as you mentioned cosplay, the comments immediately popped up."
"Are your hobbies so shallow? Can't you have some pursuits?"
"No way, I'm naturally into this; I can't quit."
………………
Luo Quan looked at the comments and was truly helpless: "I've been talking here for a long time, but you guys haven't listened to a word, just hoping for me to do cosplay for you, right?"
The comments answered in unison: Yes.
Luo Quan was amused.
But after laughing, she nodded as if compromising: "Since your request is so strong, then let's cosplay. But I'll decide what to cosplay, and you guys decide the color scheme of the outfit."
"Damn, she really agreed!"
"Wuhu, when it comes to spoiling fans, it has to be Luo Bao. I knew you would respond to everyone."
"I want to see a colorless outfit; I wonder if there is such a color."
"Colorless? Wouldn't that mean being seen through? Don't be too outrageous."
"Get out! What we want to see is Luo Bao's different images, satisfying our fantasies. What's the point of such vulgar content!"
"Positive energy, good brother. This is the high quality that we Quan fans should have."
"Are people so upright now?"
"It's mainly because everyone knows Luo Bao wouldn't do that, so it's better to ask for something practical."
"Hahaha, that's true too."
"I suggest black and white. White clothes and black stockings; just thinking about it is exciting."
"Okay, black and white it is!"
"Seconded."
………………
"Black and white, right!" Luo Quan saw that the fans had made their choice quickly, and immediately confirmed: "Then it's a black and white cosplay. No changing it now."
A black and white cosplay outfit is actually quite easy to match; it doesn't even need black stockings.
Back when she was livestreaming on Huanyu, she had done several nun outfits, all black and white.
Although nun outfits are originally a type of bulky clothing, they looked slightly erotic when worn on her.
It's mainly because her figure is too good, and nun outfits are relatively thin, which leads to this situation.
So after considering it, Luo Quan decided to change to another type of clothing with black and white as the main color scheme: a maid outfit.
Compared to nun outfits, black and white maid outfits are more classic, often appearing in various otaku anime, and can be considered a unique scenery.
However, it seems rare to see similar character designs now.
Gyaru and upperclassmen have become popular character designs in modern anime, and among these two types, you really don't see many wearing maid outfits.
Of course, as a once very popular two-dimensional style, the market for maid outfits is still quite large. As long as you wear it, it will definitely attract attention and win praise.
And Luo Quan doesn't intend to just simply cosplay a maid outfit.
If she doesn't do something special, it wouldn't fit her persona.
So she plans to dance a dance while cosplaying this time, a dance that is energetic and cute.
Come to think of it, as the largest two-dimensional website in China, Bilibili doesn't even have many people dancing otaku dances in the dance section now.
The style of most videos has changed to matching a popular Douyin BGM, then shaking their butts in front of the screen or posing.
It has no technical content, but it just gets popular.
And videos like those with a dance foundation, dancing seriously, have very bleak click-through rates.
This is the choice of the masses; her ideas cannot reverse others' preferences.
However, she herself can lead a group of imitators through her own special way of doing things. Maybe it will produce some magical effects?
So after Luo Quan agreed to the fans' cosplay request, she immediately said: "After this cosplay, I will dance a dance or something. It will be about half a minute, not very long, fitting the specifications of short videos."
The fans replied immediately:
"Are you going to dance the Little Bear dance? This dance has been very popular online recently; all platforms are dancing it."
"The dance moves of this thing are actually average; it's mainly because the music is too brainwashing."
"My evaluation is that it's a piece of crap. Luo Bao wouldn't really follow this trend, would she?"
"That BGM is magical at first listen, but after listening for a long time, there's an urge to curse."
"Are you guys too sensitive? It's just dance accompaniment; is it worth it?"
"The dance isn't very good either; I don't like it."
"I feel like that dance is quite good-looking; it has a bit of a ghost-step feel."
"Anything is fine, anything is fine. As long as it's Luo Bao dancing, I like it."
"Indeed, just wait for Luo Bao to arrange it. What's there to argue about?"
………………
It's very clear that the fans in the livestream room were a bit biased, thinking Luo Quan intended to follow the trend and dance a dance that has been very popular recently.
But this is a bit of a grievance to her.
Although it's true she likes to follow trends, that's only when she's doing online sharp commentary.
If she doesn't follow trends to comment on hot topics, what can she comment on?
But she doesn't follow every trend. Apart from sharp commentary, she generally doesn't follow trends to gain popularity.
In fact, there are some trends that she herself can lead.
So when the comments all assumed she intended to dance this dance, Luo Quan said: "Everyone, don't misunderstand. I want to dance, but I didn't say I wanted to dance this.
I just want to dance an ordinary otaku dance; I didn't think about gaining any popularity, so everyone don't be so excited."
After Luo Quan said this, it was like a reassurance for a group of fans:
"Haha, as long as it's not the Little Bear dance."
"Then are there any popular otaku dances recently?"
"Isn't 'Gokuraku Jodo' the only one that's popular?"
"Brother, saying that shows you're not an old otaku."
"Otaku dance actually doesn't have any fixed routines. If the scope is looser, as long as you wear two-dimensional clothes and dance, it counts as an otaku dance."
"That sounds a bit simple."
"It's indeed very simple. Back then, the most popular things on Bilibili were otaku dances and ghost-animal content, but unfortunately, they have all declined now."
"Ghost-animal content is okay; the popularity is still quite good. Otaku dance has been completely replaced by 'edge-ball' content."
"Will Luo Bao do 'edge-ball' content this time?"
"Brother, are you being so blunt? This is something I didn't expect."
………………
"'Edge-ball' content?" Luo Quan saw this comment and asked directly: "In your hearts, am I just a female streamer who only knows how to produce content by relying on 'edge-ball' content?
Although I occasionally do a tiny bit of 'edge-ball' content, that is definitely not my main business, okay!"
Luo Quan stared at the comments for a while; they were all full of questioning voices.
Then Luo Quan could only nod: "Okay, I admit, the 'edge-ball' content is indeed more than a tiny bit, but answer with your conscience: weren't those swimsuit and cosplay photoshoots taken only because you guys requested them? You can't beat the monk after finishing the scriptures!"
The comments quickly comforted her:
"Luo Bao is right; you did this for us."
"This is a great cause!"
"Hahaha, Luo Bao is anxious."
"It's because you guys are too sharp and mean. Hurry up and apologize to Luo Bao, otherwise there won't be any swimsuit photos to see."
………………
Although the fans were all saying she was anxious, Luo Quan wasn't that fragile. Saying these things was mainly for the sake of the show's effect.
"In short, everyone doesn't need to argue about what I'm dancing this time. Even if I really did a Little Bear dance, there's no need to express any dissatisfaction.
This is just an ordinary dance video; you can't have prejudices just because its soundtrack is a bit grotesque. In fact, isn't the reason many divine songs become popular because of this grotesque feature?
If you don't like it, just swipe away; there's no need to leave a piece of abusive text.
Of course, the otaku dance I'm dancing this time will definitely not be in a grotesque style; many people should like it."
"Of course many people will like it, because you are Luo Bao."
"I'd like it even if you performed 'Dragon Drinking Water'."
"By the way, can Luo Bao dance? I haven't seen it much before."
"Haven't you seen Luo Bao's 'Gokuraku Jodo'?"
"Damn, I forgot about this. There are too many versions online; I forgot that Luo Bao is the originator."
"'Gokuraku Jodo' can also be considered a major milestone in the otaku dance world. Because of this dance, otaku dance truly broke out of the circle."
"But it also lost a lot of its original flavor."
"There are gains and losses; this is also something that can't be helped."
………………
Amidst the fans' discussion, Luo Quan had already decided on the two things: cosplay and dancing.
"Then everyone, wait for about ten minutes. I'll go change clothes and record the dance video to release. I won't let everyone wait too long."
After Luo Quan finished speaking, she closed the livestream room without waiting for the audience's response.
"Luo Bao is too free; she just leaves like that?"
"This is Luo Bao. Most of the time, she doesn't discuss things with us but notifies us."
"So domineering. I hope the queen can stomp on me hard."
"Outrageous!"
"Finally, you pervert has been blown out."
………………
Saying she only needed ten minutes, Luo Quan reopened the livestream room very punctually after ten minutes.
Now she had completely changed her outfit, wearing a pitch-black maid dress, with a white lace apron tied in front, two braided pigtails on her head, and even black pantyhose on her feet.
The reason it wasn't black stockings was mainly to go for a cute style rather than a sexy one.
Once this look was revealed, the comments instantly reached a climax:
"Whose cute girl is this? She's too kawaii!"
"Is this Luo Bao? She's truly cute."
"If you had said earlier that your maid outfit was this top-tier, why would I be looking at swimsuits?"
"Sure enough, is the end of the two-dimensional world a maid? Not revealing is even better-looking than revealing."
"I suggest wearing maid outfits for all future appearances. I have no interest in any other clothing anymore."
………………
The fans' enthusiastic cheers hadn't subsided yet when Luo Quan uploaded the video she had just recorded.
Just as she said, it was indeed very short, with only a mere twenty-something seconds of content.
But although it was only twenty-something seconds of dancing, the visual effect it brought was no less than her maid look this time.
