Chapter 461 The Dean's Last Dance
After discussing the second edition of the Competition Cup, the dean clearly became interested as well.
He picked up his teacup, took a sip, and said with a smile:
"I'll be there to watch your second annual Challenge Cup."
"I'll try to buy tickets myself tomorrow."
No special treatment.
Jiang Feng smiled after hearing this.
"Dean, it might be a bit difficult to get it this time."
The dean raised an eyebrow.
"Is that exaggerated?"
Jiang Feng nodded.
"It's going to be quite exaggerated."
"Although this offline venue is much more formal than the first one, there aren't many tickets available."
"The Delta is too hot right now."
"The Championship Cup just happened to be in its second edition."
"Plus, both Douyin (TikTok) and Delta's official accounts are promoting it."
"If they really release the tickets, they'll probably sell out in seconds."
The dean wasn't surprised.
The popularity of the Zhengfeng Cup is so high that he sees several videos on Douyin every day, and eight out of ten of the live streams he sees mention training and preparing for the Zhengfeng Cup.
Moreover, the second Zhengfeng Cup is no longer just a small-scale amateur competition.
It's now vaguely resembling the largest grassroots sporting event in the Delta region.
Jiang Feng continued:
"The final prizes, ticket prices, and ticket purchase methods will be announced at midnight on March 1st."
"There should be a bombing then."
"The prize money and ticket prices are both quite substantial."
Upon hearing this, the dean smiled and shook his head.
"You little rascal, stop keeping me in suspense."
Jiang Feng didn't say much either.
Because these things are not yet ready to be made public.
But he knew very well.
Once the announcement is released at midnight on March 1st.
The entire internet will definitely be shocked.
At least after Fang Ningxue's complete plan was released, the staff responsible for liaison between Douyin and Delta Operations were all amazed.
That's a really big deal!
After discussing the competition, the dean finally steered the conversation back to the main topic.
He put down his teacup, picked up a document from the side, and pushed it in front of Jiang Feng.
The cover of the document reads: "Promotion Plan for Campus Search, Crackdown and Removal Project".
Jiang Feng wasn't surprised to see this title.
He had mentioned this matter in the principal's office as early as last year.
Create a real-life Delta, using the school as a map, with each college forming teams, dropping supplies, competing for resources, and finally evacuating and settling accounts.
Combined with the charity auction of idle items as start-up capital for each college, the teacher NPC will live stream the entire process, with sponsors and additional donations. The winning college will receive a trophy, while the losing college will have to do volunteer work.
However, since it was close to the holidays, there wasn't enough time, and many things couldn't be implemented in time, so they were temporarily put on hold.
Unexpectedly, the college brought it out again at the beginning of this semester.
Han Qing looked at Jiang Feng and said:
"The Delta is so hot right now."
"It was popular last year, but it's no longer a typical hit game."
"It's phenomenal."
"And you're popular too."
He chuckled as he said this.
"Both schools and colleges have a need for publicity."
"It is very appropriate to proceed with the search and withdrawal of the campus at this time."
"The school is also craving this traffic."
"But the key point is that this project is not just about riding the wave of popularity."
"It is indeed feasible."
Jiang Feng nodded.
He agrees with this point.
Essentially, it's a live-action CS game upgraded to a search, attack, and retreat mode. However, the school is naturally a giant map, with a depth and realism that are countless times greater than ordinary live-action CS venues outside. Even the maps in Delta Force are not this realistic.
It's incredibly entertaining, with elements like academy rivalry, real-world maps, resource competition, teacher NPCs, charity auctions, and live streaming... As long as the execution is solid, it's bound to be a hit.
It has social and educational significance, as well as entertainment value and online popularity.
After the dean himself had experienced Delta Force, he became a staunch supporter of the project.
He has clearly contributed a great deal to bringing this project to its current stage.
Han Qing pushed the document forward a little.
"This project has a great idea."
"The principal also supports it."
"The school's publicity department also felt there was a potential explosive story."
"But there are many difficulties in actually implementing it."
Jiang Feng, holding his teacup, nodded.
"I know."
"A real-life search, attack, and withdrawal sounds simple, but it must be complicated to do."
Han Qing held up one finger.
"First, the equipment is standardized."
"This is not your average live-action CS game."
"In a typical live-action CS game, you take a few laser guns, hit the lights, lose health, and you're out. That's it."
"But with your campus search and raid, what everyone is expecting is a real-life Delta Force."
"The feel, range, damage, rate of fire, and armor damage reduction of the guns should at least be similar to the basic logic of the game."
"You can't say that there's no difference between firing a pistol and firing a rifle."
"Even the M14 and M250 need to be differentiated, with at least several price points for the weapons; otherwise, the choice of equipment becomes meaningless. Furthermore, regarding armor and health potions, the conventional live-action CS solutions on the market simply cannot solve our problems; we need to customize them from scratch."
Jiang Feng nodded.
This is indeed the core point.
If it's just using the Delta name and ending up being played like a regular paintball game, then it's pointless.
Fortunately, the school is quite capable, and these technical challenges can be overcome.
Han Qing continued:
"Second, the distribution and value of supplies."
"In real life, you can just put whatever you find in your backpack. But what supplies should you put on campus? How much is each item worth? How do you settle accounts during evacuation? All of these need to be designed, and they can't be too complicated. Students and viewers have to understand them at a glance, otherwise the live stream will be very poor."
"My suggestion is to avoid using physical objects and instead use small electronic devices with LED screens that directly display the item's name and price, making it intuitive and simple."
After he finished speaking, he extended a third finger.
"Third, skill selection."
"In the game, there are operator skills. Red Wolf, Dragon, Dr. Bee, Luna, and Uluru each have their own mechanics, but it is impossible to completely replicate them in reality."
Jet jets, detection, smoke screens, fire, healing, shields—which can be used? Which cannot?
What can be done—using electronic tools or simulating rules? What can't be done—will removing it compromise the game's unique features? These are all things that need to be weighed and balanced.
Jiang Feng was somewhat surprised to hear this.
"Dean, your research is quite in-depth."
Han Qing glanced at him indifferently: "My Delta Force rank is Platinum 1."
Jiang Feng: "..."
At this age, being able to survive to Platinum 1 simply by running away with knives is truly remarkable.
Han Qing picked up his teacup, took a sip, and continued:
"Fourth, and most importantly."
"Registration and government support. To hold such a large event on campus, if we need to control routes, broadcast the whole event live, use electronic warfare equipment, and have students running around the campus to compete, we must register in advance."
"Safety plans, medical locations, fire exits, security personnel, activity areas, and public opinion contingency plans—all need to be prepared. Communication with the local police, street offices, and education authorities is also essential. The school will be involved in pushing this forward, but we can't rely on the school alone."
Jiang Feng understood.
"So you called me here today not just to look at the proposal."
Han Qing nodded: "Yes, the school is responsible for making it happen, and I'll handle these four points I mentioned. But you also have your tasks."
Jiang Feng asked:
"What am I responsible for?"
Han Qing looked at him, her tone very direct.
"Attracting investment."
"Attracting traffic."
Jiang Feng: "..."
Han Qing continued:
"Equipment costs money, systems cost money, live streaming costs money, supplies and props cost money, and security costs money. The school can contribute some, but if you really want to make it a national benchmark project, you can't rely entirely on school funding. You currently have traffic, Zhengfeng e-sports, Delta official resources, and Douyin resources. You need to make use of all of these."
"It would be best to bring in a few large sponsors. For example, hardware manufacturers, sports brands, beverage brands, local cultural and tourism companies, or even Delta officials. They provide the money and equipment, the school provides the venue and endorsement, and you provide the creativity and traffic. That's how the project can be scaled up."
The dean smiled as he finished speaking.
"You're not an ordinary student anymore."
Jiang Feng remained silent for a moment, then finally sighed, "Understood. I'll take care of bringing in the money and the popularity."
The dean laughed: "Very good, remember to give our campus search and raid team a GG in the Competition."
"In April, Hangzhou enjoys pleasant weather and the flowers are in full bloom."
"We're aiming to hold it in April."
Han Qing's eyes shone as she said this.
He didn't tell Jiang Feng.
He is preparing to retire this June.
Having dedicated half his life to this project, this will likely be the last major project he personally oversees at this school.
This was also his last dance.
