Chapter 717: Chapter 680: Too Busy to Attend to All
“Next up in the news, from the [Hunter] Hunting Ground outside tropolis Amusent Park.”
“But before that–”
Zhen continues to report the news, while the audience has already figured out the logic of this episode:
“I knew it! Ad ti, right?!”
“One news, one ad, I’ve never seen anything so outrageous in my life!”
“If this happened in reality, I would have to report you!”
…
Of course, complaints and rants cannot stop the program’s developnt, and the advertisent starts playing again–
This ti the advertisent format is still familiar to everyone, just like when Night City was first publicized. It is also a promotional video for travel.
—Fortunately, it is not old content, but a whole new set of materials.
Because the protagonist of this urban promotional film is [Virtual Xiajing].
Countless players are looking forward to [Virtual Xiajing] opening soon.
Even if we ignore the curiosity of overseas users about Xiajing City, considering only dostic users, Cloud Dream has a full 200 million Daxia users. How would they not be interested in their own country’s capital?
Ever since the airship flew over Xiajing City for a brief glimpse that day, countless people have been looking forward to the completion of this virtual city.
And now, Cloud Dream finally announces that [Virtual Xiajing] will be opening soon!
Starting next week, “going to Xiajing for a trip” will beco an effortless thing to do.
Many people see this news and think first not of themselves, but of their elders at ho.
The desire for the capital is often stronger among the older generations than among the young.
The opening of [Virtual Xiajing] will provide a “low-cost,” “effort-free” way to fulfill their dreams.
The advertisent ends and returns to the studio once more.
This ti Qiang takes over to report the news:
“Recently, a series of vicious serial killings have occurred in the [Hunter] Hunting Ground outside tropolis.”
“In the past week, eight hunters have been killed, all with fatal injuries caused by sharp weapons.”
“Each of the victims was experienced, robust, and top-notch in their field. Judging from the nearby traces, they all put up a tough fight against their attackers in the jungle.”
“Unfortunately, none of them survived.”
“The staff at the [Hunter] Hunting Ground have tried to enter the hunting area to capture the mysterious killer. If they fail within three days, they will consider issuing a bounty, recruiting powerful hunters to enter the hunting ground and chase down this mysterious killer.”
…
As Qiang reports, the video materials are also displayed one by one:
Pixelated hunter corpses, bloodstains everywhere, traces of pursuit and combat in the jungle, charred and burnt trees, and—
So still-undried unidentified liquid that glows green in the dark.
The cara cuts back to the studio, where Zhen adds:
“In addition, over the past week, nurous hunters have reported sightings of fantastical animals such as unicorns, centaurs, and winged lions in the hunting grounds.”
“Experts speculate that they might have accidentally ingested so hallucinogenic fungi.”
“The program group hereby reminds all viewers: Please do not eat any mushrooms you don’t recognize.”
“That’s all for the news about the Hunting Ground. Next up, a comrcial break.”
So the advertisents begin once more.
Taking advantage of the comrcial break, the audience started to speculate on what this news ant:
“No need to ask, new event in ‘Hunter: Call of the Wilderness’!”
“Nonsense, the question is… What event? Hunt down the killer in the wilderness?”
“Feels like it might be inspired by the Hunting Contest, and they’re really starting a Hunter Battle now?”
“Are there any clues? Or is that green glowing liquid a clue? Is the killer a drug lord? An alchemist? A chemical expert?”
“I don’t understand! I don’t understand at all!”
…
The discussion had just begun, but it quickly subsided as the comrcial started playing again.
Because this ti’s advertisent was really unexpected–
“Windwalker tropolis and Night City, the most popular instant shooting gas in the world!”
“The gunfight dream of 300 million players!”
“‘Battlefield’!”
“‘Battlefield’!”
“Introducing a brand new mode – Extraordinary Battlefield!”
“Super physical abilities, accelerated senses, curved bullets, battle sense!”
“Experience an extraordinary battlefield like never before!”
“Join the ga now and beco a true superhero!”
“What… are you waiting for?”
The screen freezes, and two lines of large text pop up —
December 23rd
Extraordinary Battlefield, don’t miss it!”
As the advertisent ends, the audience is still bewildered.
There are many things to criticize about this ad:
“What do they an? Are both we and the NPCs playing ‘Battlefield’?”
“Three hundred million players’ gunfighting dreams? Wow, it might actually be possible!”
“This has to be a joke, right? 300 million? There’s no way it happens so fast!”
“Extraordinary battlefield? Never seen before? Never seen before my ass! I’ve experienced all of them!”
“Although I’ve experienced them, combining them all together seems quite interesting! I really want to play it right away!”
“Wait, this ad is serious, right?”
…
The comnts are a ss, but the program isn’t affected.
Qiang calmly continues to report the next news:
“A large seaside amusent park in Night City is completed and about to open.”
“Whether it’s land area or investnt scale, the seaside amusent park is the largest in recent years.”
“To celebrate the opening, the park will collaborate with tropolis, Night City, and Xiajing City to host a large-scale car racing competition that spans the three cities!”
“Not only is the prize money extrely generous, but the top three will also receive a permanent mbership card to the seaside amusent park, granting them the highest level of courtesy treatnt for life.”
“There are no barriers to entry for the competition, and all residents of the three cities who own a car can freely sign up to participate!”
“The only thing to note is that the organizers will not be responsible for the insurance of the participants. Those who are preparing to participate, please purchase insurance.”
“Lastly, the organizing committee solemnly declares: hot weapons are strictly prohibited. Once discovered, they will be confiscated imdiately.”
…
Before this news is even finished, the players start to complain:
“[Once discovered, they will be confiscated], aning as long as they are not discovered, there’s no problem.”
“Co on, what about the residents of the three cities? If only NPCs participate, Night City would easily dominate the other two cities.”
“Hot weapons are forbidden, so cold weapons are allowed? This is amazing! Who in the ‘Death Racing’ still uses a small gun?”
“My Super teor Hamr is already starving!”
…
With one news and one advertisent pacing, “tropolitan News” continues:
“Next up is a comrcial break …”
“‘Light Encounter’ new season …”
“[Card King], [Mahjong God] tower climbing battles in full swing …”
…
…
There is no doubt that this issue of the “tropolitan News” has the most explosive information.
The contents of the event are greatly reduced, and everything is about the upcoming big events scheduled to start next week.
After the staff’s “death persuasion” (threatening Lincoln in the virtual world: “Boss, if you don’t change the na, I’m going to kill myself here!”), Lincoln took back the super cheesy na “New Year’s Seven Days Joy.”
Moreover, each new ga event is painstakingly crafted by individual project teams, and it would be a sha to have them open for only one week.
So in the end, they didn’t ntion the “seven days” part anymore. Instead, they pushed them all out under the na “New Year’s Activities.”
The large number of new content overwheld the players, who were excited throughout the whole show.
Only after all the content had been shown and the program ended did they realize a serious problem:
Today is only Wednesday.
And all these events, all these thrilling and exciting new content, won’t start until next Monday at the earliest.
There is a gap of a full 4 days in between.
Round it off, it’s almost equivalent to 12 years.
