Chapter 27: Someone is imitating my face…
After its release, "Hero Kill" was heavily promoted on the PLG platform, and with the help of Tencent's reputation, it achieved great success.
Many loyal fans of "Three Kingdoms Kill" cursed on the official website of "Hero Kill", but the effect was minimal.
Tencent completely ignores them. Public opinion? Then they'll hire online trolls to suppress it!
Langyu Studio also issued a very simple announcement on its official website.
"They have no respect in their hearts, only blasphemy," and then posted a picture of pickled cabbage noodles in the comments section.
This announcement immediately drew comments from loyal fans.
[Haha, someone's imitating my face, someone's imitating my expression! Amazing!]
A bucket of pickled cabbage and beef noodles says it all!
Where are Tencent's die-hard fans? Come out and shout!
Over the past few days, Lin Lang has been running back and forth between Langyu Studio's Tianqi branch and finally completed the version update two days before the National Day holiday.
The game now includes new gameplay modes: [Five-Player Battle], [Eight-Player Battle], and [Nation War].
The item system now includes "Luck Cards," which players can obtain by completing daily tasks.
There are also more than 150 skins available for players to choose from.
The direction and content of the game's CG are both very good!
The number of applicants for this event was exceptionally high, and Lin Lang randomly selected 50 netizens to participate in the competition.
The rules Lin Lang used in this competition were based on a points system.
The "traitor" gets 2 points for winning, and other roles get 1 point. In the preliminary round, each person needs to play 5 games. The top five players will be selected based on their scores to advance to the final round.
The final consisted of three games with re-scoring, and the top three teams were determined based on their scores.
If players have the same score, a 1v1 match will be played!
In the past few days, Lin Lang has also led the marketing department staff to the convention center to start coordinating the scene setup.
Bai Guoqing's team was responsible for the venue, manpower, and the start of the event, while I was mainly responsible for promoting "Three Kingdoms Kill" and the competition.
We aim to create a unique campaign to promote our historical achievements!
That evening, Lin Lang returned home with Bai Xiaotong again, intending to hand over the National Day activity plan he had prepared to Bai Guoqing.
Upon learning this, Bai Xiaotong was overjoyed, believing that her previous mistake could be made up for today.
We must achieve a breakthrough today!
When Bai Guoqing learned that Lin Lang was coming, he cooked a large table of dishes to entertain Lin Lang, just like last time.
Lin Lang brought some gifts during his visit, along with newly made cards and character merchandise.
Last time I came in a hurry, so this time I naturally can't be careless about etiquette.
"Grandpa Bai, these are the activities I've prepared. I plan to focus this time on these generals to help players understand the Three Kingdoms through learning about these characters."
At the dinner table, Lin Lang also told Bai Guoqing about his plans for the event.
Since the announcement was posted online, this offline event for "Three Kingdoms Kill" has attracted the interest of many players, with those who live nearby commenting that they would come.
This time, Lin Lang did not choose the quiz competition from last Mid-Autumn Festival, but instead launched a prize-winning guessing game. Anyone who answered correctly would receive a beautiful gift from the game "Three Kingdoms Kill".
"In addition, I also invited several cosplayers to play the characters of 'Three Kingdoms Kill' for promotional purposes."
"Alright, alright, I trust you with these tasks. You young people understand what young people are thinking, so I won't get involved."
Although Bai Guoqing didn't understand these details, he could tell from Lin Lang's proposal how much importance Lin Lang attached to this event.
At this point, Bai Guoqing suddenly thought of something.
"Xiaolin, I heard from Xiaotong that Tencent is going to hold an offline promotional event in the shopping mall across from our convention center. What are your thoughts on that?"
I recently learned about the incident from my granddaughter's complaints about "Hero Kill".
Bai Guoqing, a history professor, was very angry about this matter.
The game "Three Kingdoms Kill" is such a good game that promotes history, but it was plagiarized. Moreover, the plagiarized content has nothing to do with the history of China. Instead, it uses characters from the United States.
I feel nothing but disgust for these money-grubbing game developers.
"Let them come if they like to join in the fun. Let them know that the core of this game has never been gameplay, but the Three Kingdoms!"
Lin Lang was very confident about the event, and his event planning was based on his understanding of the changes Tencent had made.
"Okay! Tell me if you need any more help, and I'll help you!"
"Then I'll be too polite with you, sir. I really do need your help!"
Afterwards, Lin Lang and Bai Guoqing discussed it again.
Bai Xiaotong, on the other hand, dutifully acted as a waitress, pouring drinks and handing over documents...
This scene surprised Bai Guoqing somewhat; he realized he really needed to work out more!
This little devil, who was used to being pampered at home, has also become more sensible!
After finishing all that, Bai Xiaotong returned to her seat contentedly and quietly peeled shrimp.
She couldn't wait to show her idol her virtuous and sensible side!
One for Grandpa, and one for Lin Lang.
One for myself, and one for Lin Lang.
Soon, a thick little mountain of food piled up in Lin Lang's bowl.
"Xing Xiaolin, leave this to me!"
"Thank you, Grandpa!"
Lin Lang raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp. He turned around and saw Bai Xiaotong still putting food on his plate.
As for why it's not a bowl, it's because a bowl wouldn't be able to hold it all!
"That's enough, Xiaotong...you can eat it yourself." Lin Lang declined her offer.
Lin Lang really couldn't figure out Bai Xiaotong's thoughts. Logically speaking, shouldn't employees feel awkward around their bosses?
I really didn't see it coming from my interactions with her at the company!
But Bai Xiaotong's attitude towards work is impeccable. She basically reports on her work progress or raises questions every night.
She also frequently shares screenshots of the game "Three Kingdoms Kill," further demonstrating her genuine love for the game!
This girl just has a poor sense of safety!
Although Lin Lang didn't notice it, Bai Guoqing, as the grandfather, did.
"Kobayashi, you're 26 now, do you have a girl you like?"
Bai Guoqing asked with a smile, "If you can help with your granddaughter's love life, then do so."
If Lin Lang could really become his grandson-in-law, that would be a really good thing!
Bai Xiaotong's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and she began to look forward to Lin Lang's reply.
"My company is just starting out, I haven't thought about relationships at all, no rush!"
Lin Lang didn't expect him to ask about this, but he still shared his thoughts.
He's currently facing a huge financial burden, and his bank manager sends him daily weather forecasts, showing concern for his health.
Besides, with "Three Kingdoms Kill" just getting on track, there's no time to think about relationships.
The fragrance of flowers attracts butterflies.
Let's focus on building our career first!
Bai Xiaotong didn't know whether to cry or laugh, so she just pouted and picked at the rice bowl in front of her with her little hands.
The road ahead is long, and we still need to keep working hard!
"Alright, a man should focus on his career first!" Bai Guoqing didn't say anything more after seeing this, but gave Bai Xiaotong an encouraging look.
After drinking, Bai Guoqing still used the excuse that it was too late to let Lin Lang stay overnight.
Lin Lang didn't refuse this time either. As for Shen Qi, he could just not talk to her.
Anyway, I told her in advance, there will be a next time!
After finishing his meal, Lin Lang sat on the sofa and began to study the relevant matters concerning the National Day activities.
After the Tianqi branch finished creating the game character CGs, they also had them produce a video about the Battle of Red Cliffs, which they planned to include in this event.
Since everyone enjoys watching it, of course we should satisfy their needs!
"Mr. Lin, please drink the hangover soup. You didn't get to drink it last time."
Having learned from her previous experience, Bai Xiaotong started cooking the hangover soup before she even finished eating. She hoped she wouldn't fall asleep so early this time!
Lin Lang didn't stand on ceremony, took the bite and found it sweet and delicious, which made him feel much better.
"Your skills are quite good!"
"Of course! I learned it specifically!" Bai Xiaotong sat down next to Lin Lang with a grin. "Mr. Lin, may I wear my cosplay outfit to this event?"
"Of course, wear it if you like!"
"That's great! I specially made a Xiao Qiao cosplay outfit. Can you take a look at it for me later?"
After saying that, Bai Xiaotong got up and went back to her room to change into her cosplay outfit, admiring herself in the mirror.
This was specially prepared by her, but not for this event, but for Lin Lang!
Since he enjoys cosplay and Lin Lang is a fan of characters from the Three Kingdoms period, he naturally had to put in some extra effort!
Not long after, Bai Xiaotong walked up to Lin Lang and circled around him.
"Mr. Lin, is it good-looking?"
Lin Lang looked up and saw Bai Xiaotong's long, glossy black hair cascading over her shoulders, her delicate, porcelain-doll-like face beaming with a smile.
She wore a modified green silk cheongsam vest embroidered with golden peach blossoms, which made her look both innocent and charming.
The cheongsam also features a heart-shaped cutout design on the chest.
Her skirt was short and puffy, revealing a pair of slender, white legs as tender as lotus roots, and her thighs that were faintly visible. Her skin gleamed with an ivory-like luster under the light.
Two crystal-clear little feet wore slippers, revealing their round and cute toes, which were tinged with a faint pink.
"It looks good!" Lin Lang gave a genuine evaluation, "but you can't wear this for events; you need to take care of the chest area!"
This girl is as careless as ever!
But you know what... it's actually quite good-looking!
This is much better than the cosplays I found myself. It's true that having a good foundation is an advantage!
Bai Xiaotong sat down next to Lin Lang with a big smile. Today's outfit was a great success!
It was obvious that Lin Lang was staring at her for much longer than usual!
I'll prepare cosplay costumes for other characters later!
"Okay, Mr. Lin~ Could you help me decide which socks look best on me?"
Bai Xiaotong put her legs on the sofa and took out a pair of white calf socks and a pair of white knee-high socks for Lin Lang to choose from.
Looking at the fair legs and plump, pink feet in front of him, Lin Lang unconsciously swallowed and quickly made a choice.
"Calf-length socks are fine!"
After saying that, he turned his head away and stopped looking at her.
This girl is so presumptuous!
Which cadre can't withstand such a test!
Bai Xiaotong raised an eyebrow. Today's battle was a perfect score. She now understood what Lin Lang liked!
Then she put on calf socks, intending to let him take a look.
But just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Wait a minute, I'm coming!" Bai Xiaotong had no choice but to put on her slippers and jog over to open the door.
