Chapter 119: [Huaxia History Series] The series that treats Blue Star people like Japanese invaders~ (6.8k combined)

Following Zhao Ming's click.

The scene on the large screen behind switched. What came into view was a magnificently decorated tent. The player's first-person perspective sat in the center of the tent, looking at the Hu girl dancing in front, raising a wine cup and drinking it in one gulp.

Putting down the wine cup in his hand, the maids kneeling on both sides immediately filled the cup.

The first-person perspective seemed to be having a good time and started humming some tune.

At this time.

The voice of a soldier came from outside the tent:

"Report—!"

Then a scout covered in dust walked into the tent, knelt on the ground, and said to the first-person perspective:

"Great King! Han cavalry is attacking!"

"They are less than twenty miles from the camp!"

"The leader is a 'Huo' flag I haven't seen before."

The first-person perspective thought for a moment:

"'Huo' flag?"

At this time, a person dressed as a civil official stepped forward and said:

"Great King, I heard that the Han Emperor has newly appointed a young general named Huo Qubing, said to be Wei Qing's nephew, only seventeen or eighteen years old this year." Before he finished speaking, the first-person perspective laughed loudly:

"Seventeen or eighteen years old? A wet-behind-the-ears kid can be a general? Is the Han nation out of people?"

"Come here!"

"Gather all the warriors, today we will use Wei Qing's nephew to sacrifice the flag!"

Saying this, the first-person perspective stood up, opened his arms, and the maids on both sides hurriedly put armor on him.

The scene froze and ended.

Great Xia Federation, Sky Shark Live Stream.

Fang Ming's live stream.

Watching the "Exotic Customs" CG end, Fang Ming became interested:

"This seems a bit interesting."

"There are maids and such serving. Ancient warfare is all close-quarters combat, right."

"Feels like it will be more exciting than 'World War II'."

The barrage in the live stream was also in agreement.

And at this time, Zhao Ming at the awards ceremony was still introducing.

As his finger clicked on the virtual screen in front of him again, Zhao Ming said:

"The game also has no restrictions, letting players choose factions. Players can experience being a Huaxia monarch, or experience exotic customs. So, since all these are available, is it possible to experience the feeling of being an unparalleled martial general?"

"I can tell everyone here, yes."

"In addition to choosing identities, players can also choose to substitute into the bodies of NPCs."

As the voice fell.

The large screen at the awards ceremony began to play the scene. This time, the first-person perspective seemed much taller than others. Even though he was standing at the back, his gaze could see the tops of everyone's heads, as well as the eighteen fluttering banners.

Under each banner was a wine table, and everyone was drinking and laughing.

Suddenly.

A small soldier ran in with a panicked expression, "Report—!"

"Report to the Alliance Leader! General Yu fought Hua Xiong for one round and was cut down from his horse!"

As the voice fell.

Everyone present was shocked. The man in the first seat in the center of the venue looked a bit embarrassed, scanned the crowd, and said:

"Who dares to fight Hua Xiong?"

At this time.

In front of the first-person perspective, the back sitting at the wine table stood up and said loudly:

"I have a top general, Pan Feng, holding a hundred-pound mountain-splitting axe, with the courage of ten thousand men. He will definitely be able to kill Hua Xiong!"

While speaking, the first-person perspective stepped forward, and the people around hurriedly dodged.

Some small soldiers even showed fear on their faces. The scene suddenly switched to a third-person perspective, and Blue Star netizens finally understood why those small soldiers showed fear.

I saw that the strong man in heavy armor stood like an iron tower with a nine-foot body. Just the thickness of his arm was comparable to the thigh of the small soldier next to him, not to mention the hundred-pound mountain-splitting axe on his back. Whoever saw him walk out had to dodge.

The scene switched back to the first-person perspective.

At this time, the first-person perspective had already walked to the center of the venue, his roar like thunder:

"This general is willing to go!!!"

The scene froze and ended.

So... can you substitute into the body of this kind of martial general?

Hiss—Blue Star netizens looked at this strong man, inexplicably starting to imagine that if it were close-quarters combat, wouldn't swinging the axe sweep the whole field? Feels like it could work.

Zhao Ming’s mouth curled up, then he spoke again:

"Of course."

"If players are not used to substituting into the bodies of NPCs, they can also choose to enter the game with their own body data and choose an identity."

"If you can't be a martial general, then be an ambitious hero who fights for the world. We are all carbon-based organisms, who is afraid of whom?"

Zhao Ming clicked on the virtual screen in front of him again, and the large screen behind began to play the scene.

In the scene.

The sunset dyed the sky red. The player's first-person perspective was on a city wall, with battle flags fluttering around. The first-person perspective overlooked the black mass of soldiers lined up outside the city.

Dust flew in the distance, and the soldiers opposite were still gathering.

A young general with a white horse and silver saddle, holding a long spear, rushed to the front of the opposite soldiers with hundreds of black-armored cavalry. The first-person perspective looked at him from across the air.

Then the young general with the white horse and silver saddle opposite drew a long bow and shot an arrow.

A letter was attached to the arrow, hitting the flagpole in the center of the city wall.

Several soldiers hurriedly took down the letter and handed it over. The first-person perspective only had one faint sentence:

"Read."

The strategist beside him took it and read it, then said:

"Great King! Li Shimin, the son of Li Yuan, claims he wants to compete with you!"

"He also said... if you don't dare, hang up the 'no-war' sign and give up the road."

The deputy general beside him was angry upon hearing this and drew his sword:

"Arrogant child!"

"Great King! This general requests to go...!"

The player's first-person perspective raised his hand, stopping the deputy general's request, and said with a cold smile:

"Prepare the horses!"

"Gather five hundred elite soldiers, I will go myself!"

The scene froze and ended.

Zhao Ming smiled and said:

"That's basically it."

"Players can choose to become a monarch, or substitute to become a general, or choose to enter with their own body data, using modern knowledge from Blue Star to compete with ancient heroes."

"So some people will ask, fighting and killing is too boring, are there other ways to play?"

"Yes."

"Because in this game, with the variety of identities, you can even become a hooligan or a bully."

Zhao Ming raised his hand and clicked on the virtual screen in front of him again.

The large screen behind began to play the scene.

What came into view was a bustling market, with voices and shouts of vendors one after another. The player's first-person perspective walked swaying.

Three or five hooligans followed beside him, occupying a row of positions and just charging through.

The surrounding common people dodged upon seeing this. As the first-person perspective walked, he picked up a pear from a nearby stall and took a bite, feeling the taste was not bad.

He called one of his men to take a few more. The vendor showed anxiety and was just about to speak.

The first-person perspective's tone was a bit unhappy:

"Hmm?"

Scaring the vendor so much he didn't dare to move. Only then did the first-person perspective laugh and nod with satisfaction.

He took his men and continued walking. As he was looking left and right, he suddenly bumped into something under his feet. The first-person perspective looked down and saw a little beggar.

He immediately kicked him, cursing:

"Little beggar, are you looking for death?!"

"Hmm?!"

Suddenly.

A loud shout.

"What are you doing?!"

The first-person perspective turned his head to look. A monk holding a broken bowl with half a steamed bun in it rushed over, directly pushed the first-person perspective away, and then hurriedly helped the little beggar up.

He handed the half steamed bun in the bowl to the little beggar.

The first-person perspective's tone was fierce:

"Stinky monk, are you also looking for death?!"

The monk squatting on the ground helping the little beggar raised his head and glared, preparing to stand up.

The little beggar holding his stomach on the ground hurriedly grabbed the monk, his voice trembling:

"Chong... Brother Chongba... I bumped into him by accident, forget it..."

The scene froze and ended.

For a time, the entire awards ceremony was silent. Zhao Ming saw that everyone had no reaction and spread his hands:

"How about it?"

[Emotion Value +32421]

[Emotion Value +22736]

[Emotion Value +237...]

Great Xia Federation, Sky Shark Live Stream.

Xu Jie's live stream.

"Holy crap? Can it still be like this?"

An angle never imagined before, can you still be a hooligan?

Bullying the market?

Is this game so awesome???

Thousands of identities?

Many Blue Star netizens were curious for a while, what identities are there.

And the friends in the live stream also had their brains wide open.

[To be honest, since I'm already a hooligan, it wouldn't be too much to be a robber, right?]

[Robber? Robbing money or robbing beauty?]

[Laughing to death, you can't take out the money you rob, what are you robbing?]

[It's all virtual, be bolder, raise an army and rebel.]

[Fool, if you want to raise an army and rebel, just choose general or vassal, okay? If you choose hooligan, you have to experience the fun of being a hooligan.]

[Makes sense, I haven't wanted to be the neighbor's uncle for a day or two, this hooligan identity...]

Awards ceremony side.

Feeling the arrival of emotion values, Zhao Ming said:

"The above two are the two games that Polar Star Company will launch in the future."

"The 'World War I' series and the 'Huaxia History' series."

"After the awards ceremony ends, we will open the modules for these two games on the Polar Star official website. Players can get a head start on some information."

"And we will update and upload CG materials from time to time."

"For specific details, please wait for the press conference in a week."

"If you want to cooperate, you can contact our company's staff through the contact information on the Polar Star official website. Of course... everyone here."

"Just exchange contact information directly."

Then Zhao Ming looked at the time and said:

"There are five minutes left."

"Next, let's return to our 'World War II: Rise of Empires'."

"This time we are releasing the future version plan of the game."

"And the versions and content to be updated in the second half of this year."

"First is the sequel to 'World War II: Rise of Empires', 'Cold War Clouds'."

"After most players finish the immersive plot, we will release the sequel's DLC for players to experience the brand-new plot."

"And 'Cold War Clouds' mainly tells about the period after World War II."

"All the crises triggered by the opposition of fundamental ideologies between countries."

"And the most terrifying one among them is the 'Nuclear Shadow'."

As he spoke, Zhao Ming clicked on the virtual screen in front of him, and the large screen behind began to play the scene.

In the scene.

A sun slowly rose, getting brighter and brighter, and constantly expanding.

At this time, the Blue Star netizens watching realized that this was not the sun. The subtitles that appeared immediately gave a hint.

["Nuclear weapons" are weapons developed by Earth humans at the end of Earth's "World War II". When used for the first time,]

[the two detonated caused more than 200,000 casualties.]

["Nuclear weapons" showed destructive power while also promoting the end of World War II.]

[However... with the end of the war.]

[Conflicts of interest caused by ideological clashes between countries in the world, historical grievances, triggered competition and cold war in all fields from economy to military.]

[And in this situation, "nuclear weapons," which can determine the direction of war, have become the top priority.]

[1945, "Nuclear weapons": 1... 152...]

[1986, "Nuclear weapons": 70300...]

In the scene, the number behind nuclear weapons started from 1 and constantly rose. From 1945 to 1986, in 41 years.

The number of nuclear weapons reached more than 70,000.

On average... 4.6 "nuclear weapons" produced per day. With this data given.

It made the Blue Star people feel numb and dumbfounded.

Do humans on "Earth" have some kind of war gene?

Two caused 200,000 deaths...

One means 100,000 deaths?

How much is 100,000 times 70,000?

Rough?

The nuclear bombs built in these 41 years, calculated at 100,000 deaths per bomb, can 70,000 bombs kill 7 billion people?!!!

Although it is impossible for each one to kill 100,000 people.

But calculated this way, it can still kill billions of people.

Are there that many people on "Earth"?

You know, there are only more than 14 billion people on Blue Star now. Earth's land area is much smaller than Blue Star's. If these "nuclear weapons" were all dropped, would it destroy the world?

Blue Star netizens watching just had this thought flash through their minds.

The scene on the screen was already tense.

One leader figure after another constantly switched, their expressions gradually becoming crazy:

"Destruction!"

"Mutual destruction!"

"If they dare, launch all the 'nuclear weapons' and let them be destroyed!"

"They don't dare to act, our 'nuclear weapons' are enough to destroy them!"

"As long as they dare, then launch!"

"Destruction! Who is afraid of whom?!"

Mutual destruction.

Simple four words, representing a kind of madness.

The scene constantly switched between national leaders clamoring for destruction and scenes of nuclear test sites. The whole world was covered in a shadow.

Nuclear weapons for automatic counterattack protection were deployed all over the world.

Once someone acts first.

All nuclear weapons will be launched to ensure the other side is destroyed.

Everyone was suppressed on the edge of destruction.

The uncontrollability of humanity was vividly displayed at this moment.

The scene switched suddenly.

This time the scene given made Blue Star players familiar, because the flag hanging on the wall was the Soviet flag.

At this time, the alarm in the room was constantly sounding.

The prompt on the equipment represented the attack of the American Freedom Federation. The duty officer looked at the equipment prompt, his expression constantly changing. Once reported.

Triggering an automatic nuclear counterattack...

Whoosh!

A virtual scene emerged, with missiles carrying nuclear warheads being launched all over the world.

Then...

It was the scene of the whole world being nuked.

The scene cut back to the duty room where the alarm was sounding.

The Soviet duty officer had cold sweat constantly seeping from his forehead. Blue Star netizens had solemn expressions.

They were also subconsciously drawn in, their hearts lifted.

In the scene.

The duty officer looked at the launch button on the equipment in front of him and slowly raised his hand.

Breathing—

The heavy breathing could be heard even amidst the piercing alarm.

Blue Star netizens' hearts tightened. Could it be...

The Blue Star streamers and friends watching the live stream, as well as the guests at the awards ceremony, all subconsciously held their breath, immersed and substituted in.

It is hard to imagine that such a plot is actually a game CG.

Watching the Soviet officer in the scene raise his hand and slowly reach toward the button.

Whoosh!

The scene disappeared suddenly.

Zhao Ming’s smiling voice came:

"To know what happens next... finish World War II first."

"The 'Cold War Clouds' sequel data for 'World War II: Rise of Empires' will also be opened one after another in the future."

"Those interested can go to the Polar Star official website to learn about it in advance~"

[Emotion Value +1324534]

[Emotion Value +1543432]

[Emotion Value +11313...]

As the voice fell, the dumbfounded Blue Star netizens just came back to their senses. The guests at the awards ceremony below, even though they were elites and successful people from major federations, couldn't help but be noisy when facing Zhao Ming. This... you...

This is for those with better manners.

At this time, I don't know how many people on the Internet were cursing, and how many streamers were smashing tables.

Sky Shark Live Stream, Fang Ming's live stream.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

"Ahhhhhhh! Damn it, it's really damn it!!!"

The table made a mournful sound from being hammered. Fang Ming grabbed his hair:

"This feeling of being stopped..."

"Really, this is absolutely the real Old Thief Zhao!"

"No doubt!"

"Even if he looks so handsome! This black-hearted guy is definitely Old Thief Zhao!"

"There is no such way to cut it!!!"

"Calm down, calm down... this guy can really piss people off!"

The Blue Star friends in the live stream were also unable to hold on.

Fang Ming was famous for his sharp tongue and strength before, and half of his fans were haters, so one can imagine what kind of people his fans were.

And under such circumstances.

The haters rarely stood with Fang Ming's true fans, cursing Zhao Ming on the screen in the live stream...

On the news websites of major federations.

The entries about Polar Star Games and the two words Zhao Ming had already been exploded by the vast number of game players.

Below the awards ceremony.

Shen Qinghan pulled a smile, politely took the cards handed over by other forces, and couldn't help but feel hard to collapse when looking at Zhao Ming on stage.

Stop it, aren't you afraid you won't be able to walk out?

This is too annoying.

You didn't say three CGs and three pits before you came.

Not filling a single one, just digging pits???

No.

Must book a private plane back, can't land from the East Sea, don't get blocked...

Thinking.

Shen Qinghan hurriedly booked a private plane landing in the neighboring city.

Fortunately, Zhao Ming on stage had already talked to the end:

"The sequel is understood, let's return to the game."

"Currently in 'World War II: Rise of Empires', the [Battle of Moscow] has ended, and the war situation between the Empire and the Soviet Federation is deadlocked."

"Who is the winner is still unknown."

"However, judging from the [Attack on Pearl Harbor] incident, many players should know that any battle may affect the world's war situation."

"So..."

Zhao Ming clicked on the virtual screen in front of him.

Two boxes appeared on the large screen behind him, which were [Empire Faction] and [Federation Faction].

Then these two buttons slowly differentiated, and finally became.

[Empire Faction] [Kingdom of Italy Faction] [Vichy France Faction] [Japan Faction] [Hungary]...

[Soviet Federation Faction] [British Federation Faction] [French Federation Faction] [American Freedom Federation Faction] [Canadian Federation]...

The main factions on both sides and the affiliated factions added up to twenty or thirty.

Zhao Ming said:

"We have also collected many players' opinions. Many players complained about the random region thing. For this reason, we have also listened to the opinions and made optimization adjustments."

"At 12 o'clock tonight, a real-time update will be carried out."

"The original random faction will be changed to players choosing the faction they want, and after choosing the faction, they will be randomly dropped into various regions."

"After all, if everything can be chosen, it will be more or less boring."

"The uncertainty of randomness is the greatest fun of the game."

"For example, the current force distribution of the [British Federation]."

"[European Battlefield] is the British Federation mainland, defending against the Empire in the southern region of England."

"[North African Battlefield] is deployed in battle with the Empire."

"[Southeast Asian Battlefield] is fighting with Japan."

"[Atlantic Battlefield] is escorting supply fleets and fighting against the Empire's submarine troops."

"So after players choose [British Federation] to start."

"They will randomly start in the above four regions."

"It greatly reduces randomness while ensuring the exploration fun brought by a certain uncertainty, and maybe the battle you participate in will affect the world's war situation~"

"At the same time."

"The game will also open permanent battlefields such as street fighting, naval warfare, air warfare, jungle warfare, tank warfare, etc. in the next few months."

"However, these are all related to large-scale dungeons."

"It mainly intercepts a part of the large-scale dungeon map, and then gathers enough people to start, and players fight in it."

"Currently, the permanent dungeon for [Battle of Moscow] is already in production."

"And with the game progress, after the national war dungeon [Battle of Stalingrad] goes online, the permanent dungeon for [Street Fighting] will also be opened."

"Please, vast players, look forward to it."

"Thank you."

After speaking, Zhao Ming bowed slightly and looked at the host.

The host came back to his senses and said:

"Okay, thank you Mr. Zhao Ming for bringing us..."

Slap!

Fang Ming closed the "Anti-War Competition" live stream. Zhao Ming was already down, what else to watch.

However, thinking of the information obtained tonight, Fang Ming said to the live stream while opening the Polar Star official website. Sure enough, it was updated:

"Old Thief Zhao finished talking, let's take a look first."

Looking at the three brand-new modules on the official website, Fang Ming looked at them one by one:

"Three series of games."

"World War I series, Huaxia History series, and the current World War II series."

"The first two are head-start information, the game hasn't been released yet."

"The World War II series has been made into a sequel, but World War II hasn't ended yet, so naturally you can't play it, so..."

"This guy dug a hole for the whole night?!"

"The only thing you can play is 'World War II: Rise of Empires'?!"

"MD!"

"The only thing I know is that it updates at 12 o'clock, right?"

"You can choose a specific country faction, this is a good update. He just used the British Federation as an example. I'll choose the British Federation in a while to see where I can start."

Fang Ming said, feeling bored again, and opened the "Anti-War Competition" live stream.

Watched for a few minutes...

Okay, sure enough, not interested.

It had already reached the awards for the [Movie] category. Fang Ming, who was not interested, closed the "Anti-War Competition" awards live stream again and opened the Federation headlines.

Suddenly happy.

"Good guy, the Internet is full of people cursing Old Thief Zhao."

"Let me see..."

"Someone has already started forming groups?"

"Really camping?"

Time passed bit by bit, and soon it was twelve o'clock at night.

An update prompt popped up in the game.

Fang Ming immediately switched back to the game and updated directly. A few seconds later, the game interface popped up with an update completion prompt. Fang Ming clicked on the [Immersive Plot] mode.

After clicking, [Empire Faction] and [Federation Faction] prompts popped up.

After choosing [Federation Faction], many federation countries were listed below. Fang Ming directly chose [British Federation], and then the screen flashed.

Entered the game directly.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The moment the sound of gunfire rang in his ears, Fang Ming immediately lay down and said to the live stream:

"Started on the battlefield?"

"Where is this?"

Fang Ming's gaze swept over the surrounding soldiers, who were also British Federation faces, but there were many Asian faces. This shouldn't be the British Federation mainland.

Fang Ming looked while loading the rifle in his hand.

Just scanning around, suddenly rang...:

Ding-a-ling! Ding-a-ling!

The sound of a bicycle bell. The British Federation soldier next to him suddenly cursed and ran away like crazy. Fang Ming was stunned and subconsciously rushed out with him.

But while rushing out, he looked back.

Wanted to see what the hell it was...

He saw a short Japanese soldier wearing khaki military uniform rushing out from under the dirt slope on a bicycle, rushing toward them, shouting something like "Banzai" in his mouth...

Fang Ming had some doubts in his eyes. What's there to be afraid of?

He stopped, turned around, and aimed his gun at the Japanese soldier rushing over on a bicycle. The distance between the two sides was less than ten meters.

Fang Ming even had the confidence to hit the center of the eyebrows with one shot.

Just at this moment...

Boom—!!!!!!

The flames of the explosion swept open, filling Fang Ming's entire perspective.

The screen went black.

Whoosh!

Back to the game main interface, Fang Ming was still holding the gun in a posture, not having recovered yet.

The air was silent for a while.

"Holy crap? Saw a ghost!"

"What the hell is this?"

"How did I die?"

Fang Ming was numb. What the hell is this, how can people explode?

"No! I'll start another round!"

"How did I die?"

Fang Ming was completely numb. What the hell was this? How could a person just explode?

"No way! I'm starting another round!"
