Traveling through thousands of realms at the same time, I need to add some dark blue

Chapter 292 Thunder Fire Sword Promotional Video
After the introduction, the two hosts changed the subject and talked about the Thunder and Fire Sword.

"The next incident is about what happened on Planet Aquamarine. Friends who follow the forums know that Planet Aquamarine is the first novice planet to open the main storyline. Players can witness it almost as soon as they enter the game. In fact, before players understand the situation, they can only watch the Thunderfire Sword beat up the Sprout in the Three Continents, and they can't really intervene."

"The game has only been launched for a short time, and players from other planets know very little about the details of the major forces on their planets. Qiuqiu, what do you think is the purpose of the development company setting up this special plot on Planet Aquamarine?" asked the male host.

Female host: "The current intelligence shows that Sprout was the strongest dark force on Planet Aquamarine before the rise of the Thunderfire Sword. Planet Aquamarine and Sprout are hostile to each other. At the same time, Sprout has many bases and a continent on Planet Aquamarine as its core force. Perhaps this is done to let novice players see the current situation clearly and not invest in the Sprout camp and pay a huge sunk cost."

"Oh, so the next thing on Aquamarine will be a confrontation between the Six Nations and the Thunderfire Sword, and then Germination can only be a marginal force that could be destroyed at any time?"

"I don't know." The female host shrugged. "Perhaps only the developers can answer this question, but based on the current information, Germination is indeed not worth joining."

They don't actually have much inside information, they just speak in unison to point out the current situation.

Not to mention them, even the developers themselves can't explain it clearly.

"Okay, now that we've heard the big story, let's talk about some gossip." The male host changed the subject, "Let's talk about Black Phantom. In addition to being the General of Thunderfire Sword, he also seems to be a mentor in the Department of Mechanics. He's very keen on spreading knowledge, and he can trigger hidden plots."

"The latest intelligence shows that Black Phantom has appeared in Green Valley Town in the southern part of Planet Aquamarine. Friends who want to switch to the Mechanic Department should seize the opportunity. Black Phantom is by far the easiest way to obtain knowledge for job switching. It is even easier than joining the Thunderfire Sword and exchanging contributions for martial arts knowledge."

Well, Gu Meng has to follow some rules when distributing rewards. Han Xiao has a great price advantage now. This is a kind of internal competition.

However, many of his resources were free-to-invest transactions. When serving in Thunderfire Sword, high-level NPCs would give players a lot of rewards. In any case, the players might make money, but Han Xiao would definitely not lose out.

"However, different voices have appeared in the forum recently. Some players who changed their job to the Mechanic Department seem to regret it."

The female host pretended to be surprised, "How could such a thing happen?"

At this time, the barrage of comments broke out. Most players chose to play whatever profession they saw was the strongest. After being tricked by Han Xiao and being lured into the game, they found that the mechanical skills were not as powerful as they had imagined, so they naturally complained.

While the two hosts were talking nonsense about this topic, Han Xiao looked down at the replies and found a reply that was pinned to the top. The ID was "Luo Si Men".

"I am a beta tester of Big Horn Mountain. A few days ago, I changed my job to Mechanic with Black Phantom. I thought it was a very strong job, but after changing my job, I found that Mechanic is completely different from what I expected. The skills are rubbish, and repairs will fail. The equipment is directly damaged, and I have to buy materials to repair it next time. My pistol is so broken. I am so angry. It is such a rip-off!"

There are various discussions below.

"And his combat power is so weak. A public beta player who is four levels lower than me challenged me for a PK. He has no main job, and his secondary job is Hunter, who was transferred from Dajiao Mountain. I fought him eleven times, and I didn't win once! A main job lost to a secondary job, and I was four levels higher than him. The mechanical department is a piece of shit, and it can't compare with the mainstream martial arts department of Thunder and Fire Sword. I can only be a living player."

“…I was attracted to the game by Black Phantom’s video. I was fooled. Those high-level NPCs always have template bonuses. Black Phantom is not a player. His combat power is not convincing at all!”

“…Mechanics are so weak in the early stages that it’s unbearable. Maybe they can be as strong as Black Phantom in the later stages, but they are lagging behind in the early stages. It will take them a longer time to reach the level of others! Moreover, Mechanics rely on machines to fight, and the materials to make machines cost money. This profession is for the rich. You can’t play it without money!”

"The mechanic department has no future. My account is useless. I can only delete it and start over. It's a rubbish profession!"

The players' replies were full of resentment. Some Thunder and Fire Sword players boasted about the advantages of the martial arts system, and many people echoed them, pushing the related topic to the top of the hot replies.

After scanning other posts, Han Xiao discovered that most of them contained complaints about players, and the resentment was overwhelming. This behavior disgusted many people, and some people even argued with those who complained about the mechanic.

Han Xiao narrowed his eyes. He was not surprised. Sooner or later, players would find that the mechanical department was not suitable for fighting in the early stages. These players were the first batch and would not be the last.

Those who complained were attracted to it and chose whatever profession they thought was strong. But then they found that it was completely different from the profession they imagined to be so powerful. So they felt cheated and got very angry.

There are also players who like mechanics and ignore these arguments. Some people play games for entertainment, and manufacturing and farming are also entertainment. Moreover, being a mechanic and doing logistics in Thunder and Fire Sword is actually quite profitable. Thunder and Fire Sword recycles the works of some players who are main job mechanics at a high price.

Some people play games just to be the best, and failing to win is a sin. Obviously, the players who started the criticism belong to the latter.

These negative comments will more or less affect Han Xiao's business. There is only one chance to choose a main profession, and players will become more cautious, especially the first batch of players.

Han Xiao shook his head. He wanted to attract more players to join the mechanical department and expand his market. It didn’t matter. There were plenty of players. He was not worried about not having a market.

And to put it bluntly, the mechanic is a late-stage profession. In the early stages, more resources must be invested so that rich players can have the gaming experience. However, after the later versions are updated several times, the strength will be raised, and... you can still fool people.

"It seems that I need to consolidate the players' confidence in the mechanical department, but simply showing my strength is not enough... So..."

Han Xiao planned to focus on training a few players that he liked, have them switch to mechanics, and then prioritize their use of his own resources. As long as he could train strong enough mechanics, no one would say anything.

Coincidentally, Gu Meng also thought so. With just the flaming sword, Crazy Blade and Furious Sword were definitely already the top players among the current players. Gu Meng then gave him a modified version of the Electric Sword, so that he could get the reputation of being a master of both sword and thunder and fire sword as his signature skill.

The fighters trained by Han Xiao can only compete for the top ten or top five. Any higher will depend on Gu Meng's mood. Let's see who has trained stronger Pokémon/players.

Players on Aquamarine who choose the Thunder and Fire Sword are in luck. In any future player PK conference, Gu Meng plans to have the Thunder and Fire Sword take up half of the top ten at once. This game is not a real game anyway, and the Thunder and Fire Sword camp is exaggeratedly strong, and no one will weaken it even if the players collectively oppose it.

The program was still going on, and the male host changed the subject and said, "Our station has obtained the rough cut of the next unreleased promotional video from Xinghai officials. Please take a look."

Another video played on the screen. Previously, the official of "Star Ocean" wanted players to help collect materials for promotion. This promotional video mainly featured battle scenes of various professions.

The beginning is from another planet. A heavily armored knight is full of vigor and vitality. The tip of his spear is emitting a bright light. He charges into a group of iron shield guards. The sound of the collision is like thunder and figures are flying everywhere.

A race with horns on their heads controls the elements, and flames wrap around their bodies like a long snake. The bald ascetic telekineticist controls objects and releases invisible mental attacks, causing the enemies surrounding him to fall down like wheat being cut, with blood gushing from their nostrils.

The pictures are realistic, and the various lights and shadows are gorgeous, which makes people's blood boil!
This promotional video is actually official, but all the content was collected by the official from players, and the official itself does not have much material.

As a well-known blogger, Amon also received an invitation, and then Amon also uploaded a lot of materials as the finale.

This is the first version of the promotional video, and it has not been finalized yet. Because the footage is recorded by players from various novice planets, only a few high-level characters from other planets have shown their combat power, and it is impossible to choose Aquamarine Planet for all of them, so the battle scenes of the five main professions are barely put together, and the finale of the mechanical department is the scene of Han Xiao.

There were several scenes of Han Xiao showing off in front of people in the Novice Village to cheat them out of money, and some scenes of the interception of the Taida Mira River Battle, with sniper rifles, turrets, and rangers showing off their power, but the limelight was not as great as the scene in the same battlefield where General Duanmu controlled the Crazy Blade and the Angry Sword to cast a 40-meter flaming sword.

Some players who were on the battlefield at that time realized how powerful the Mad Blade and Furious Sword were (the material did not include the method of controlling General Duanmu, he just stood aside). What kind of miracle could have allowed him to have such powerful martial arts so early?

The players who were watching the game only came to their senses now, with barrages of comments pouring in and the screen full of 666, expressing their excitement and shock.

“I didn’t expect that I would be chosen for the promo.”

At the same time, Kuang Dao Nu Jian, who was watching the video, was also a little happy. At that time, only a few people saw that scene. Some people said it was a rumor and that it was all fake special effects. Some people didn't pay attention to it. Now that so many players have seen it, they feel a little shy...

I have to practice hard and try to do this with my own strength next time.

Han Xiao had nothing to complain about. He still remembered the trailer for this version in his previous life. The scene of the mechanical department was a process of manufacturing machinery, which made players think that this was a logistics profession. As a result, of course, few people switched to the mechanical department.

Now he is in charge of the central army, commanding the rangers to fight. At the same time, there are so many robots with the Thunderfire Sword. His reputation as a mechanic has improved a lot, so he doesn't ask for more.

Some passers-by players really thought that the mechanic players were not good at playing and had weak combat power, and that their logistical capabilities would be overestimated by looking at the Thunderfire Sword's mechanical army. In fact, Han Xiao knew that it should be some kind of summoning/control magic.

At present, this trend can attract more players to join the game. Even if there are regretful mechanical players complaining on the forum, the impact will not be significant.

At the end of the promotional video, the material was still provided by Amon. This time the opening was a confidential meeting of the six countries. There were even budding undercover agents who were handing over to the intelligence personnel of the six countries, showing the dishonor of the six countries.

The upper echelons have already laid out a conspiracy. Although they appear calm on the surface, they are already making preliminary preparations for war and will begin mobilization for a full-scale war after a month of preparation.

At the same time, they fabricated some false charges, and even used neutral wanderers or undisciplined people in the city to create some tragedies to launch a public opinion offensive against Leihuojian.

These plans of the six countries were exposed in the video, and some of the high-ranking scumbags of the six countries were also deliberately filmed to show their extravagant lives and oppression of the good people.

The official has not thought about how Amon pirated this material. How can he be exposed to such advanced things not long after the server was launched? Is the intelligence department of the six countries very weak? No, the players know very well that the intelligence department of the six countries is not weak, otherwise how could the plot party players not dig it out... Obviously, it is because the Thunder Fire Sword is more advanced.

By the way, is Amon working in the intelligence department of Thunderfire Sword... or is it that an NPC in Thunderfire Sword has recognized the potential of the players and is working with Amon to launch a public opinion offensive among the players? That's why they revealed this information?
Smart people who think of this think it's impossible. After all, these plots are just designs by the game company... No, no, no, are the game companies really geniuses? This is a design that breaks the fourth wall!

In short, these images dealt a huge blow to the reputation of the Six Nations camp, because players have preconceived ideas, and Gu Meng has already occupied this propaganda position, which has achieved twice the result with half the effort. The enemy doesn't even know that there is such a thing as a player forum, and doesn't know how to lose.

In addition, it is useless for players to know these things, as they cannot warn the six countries.

Because the players' current reputation, strength, favorability with high-level NPCs, and faction contribution are all below standard, it is impossible for the novices to inform on these people, and no one would believe them even if they did. There is no risk in using them for publicity.

The trailer continued, with a few shots showing the class conflicts within the six countries, the Aquamarine Planet that had been turned into a post-apocalyptic wasteland, and the wanderer tribes that were almost out of touch with civilization, showing the current status of the planet.

In the absence of laws, some wanderer tribes can still maintain the normal layout of primitive society, but some are like the kind of scenes that can be imagined after the order collapses in apocalyptic literature.

In these clips, the original color in the video gradually turns into black and white, and then the screen goes black.

The screen appeared again, only a back figure.

Gu Meng, wearing a black robe, opened his arms in the square, and countless powerful figures appeared out of thin air. They gathered from nowhere. More and more cadres of the Thunder and Fire Sword, including the six Four Heavenly Kings, were among them.

Han Xiao was also a little excited when he saw it. The Dark Lord said that the video of the group photo was edited into the Xinghai promotional video.

The camera turns, and the surrounding area shows aspiring young people who have turned from darkness to light (successfully brainwashed) and who have voluntarily joined the Thunder and Fire Sword and passed the assessment. Hela and Aurora are among them.

The camera zoomed out again, revealing countless Thunder and Fire Sword standard soldiers that had been transformed from iron inanimate objects into intelligent machines.

At this moment, under the gaze of everyone, Gu Meng clenched his fist and said solemnly: "I want ninety-nine of the six kingdoms."

So the crowd cheered at the same time. At first, it was chaotic, with words like "Lord Dark Lord, we respect you", "The world is white, only I am black", "Welcome to the new world", "Long live the Dark Lord"...

Gu Meng originally wanted to say "Long live the people of Planet Aquamarine", but after thinking about it, he realized that if he really said it, it wouldn't work as material, so he decided to come up with a normal slogan of the dark forces.

The robot became fanatical, and the red light in its eyes changed the color of the originally black and white image, and finally gradually unified into one voice:
"For thousands of years, the sea will be unified"

"For thousands of years, the sea will be unified"...
