A real cheat was blocked, and the game industry was rectified with a backhand

In the first half of the night, Zhang Yuan, the UP host of the life area, was still enthusiastically shooting some video materials.

I still have to bring some equipment with me, after all, it's a job for eating.

In life, you may get inspiration at any time, but once you have the material, you must record it in time.

In addition to life vlogs, her videos also include sweet daily content with her boyfriend.

It’s not an exaggeration to say that he is the UP host of the dog food section.

However, since the beginning of this year, a bottleneck has appeared in video content, and the number of views has declined to varying degrees.

This made her very depressed.

Let’s talk about the queue scene.

By the second half of the night, the fatigue of queuing all night started to overwhelm me and I could hardly bear it anymore.

Those queuing here are all players who have made up for their sleep during the day, and almost all of them are fans of Naughty Cat.

I spent most of the night chatting enthusiastically with colleagues around me.

"Come on, come on, eat chicken, the best player in our server."

"Damn, full-life Thunder General and Yellow Spring, brother, are you rich?"

"Swordswoman can definitely beat the Barbarian King, don't you agree?"

“The War-Experienced King Nergigante? Isn’t that Mee-Mee-Zi?”

Zhang Yuan had heard many of the lines from her boyfriend, but she seldom played games, so she could only understand some of them when people around her were talking about Plants vs. Zombies.

Fortunately, my best friend was there to help me borrow a power bank, buy me a drink, or help me queue from time to time.

This is the only way to survive.

After all, there are strong men around who have prepared small benches or tents.

Can't compare.

I finally made it until dawn and looked in the mirror. My image now was very different from the one with exquisite makeup in previous videos.

Fortunately, the release date is approaching.

Some people were packing up their tents, while others were getting out of their sleeping bags.

The policeman in the police car also got out and began to maintain law and order.

"Victory is at hand!"

I put on some makeup again and continued recording.

It was eight o'clock in the morning and the sale officially began.

Although the team was moving slowly, it was still moving forward in an orderly manner.

The boys who got the game consoles first were all overjoyed, carrying the game console box and several game cartridges. Their proud expressions betrayed their inner emotions as they passed by the queue.

The players at the end of the line all looked envious, because those who were too far back might not be able to get a chance.

Players who got the consoles kept walking happily towards the nearby subway station.

Some of them held several game cartridges in their hands, and some even held a cardboard box as big as a game console.

Looking at what is written on it, it seems to be Ring Fit Adventure?
Can game consoles also be used for fitness?

Seeing more and more people getting the host, Zhang Yuan felt a little worried because she didn't know how many people were ahead of her.

If it happens to be gone by the time she gets there, it will be a truly devastating moment.

Half past nine in the morning.

A full hour and a half later.

Although the queuing process was tiring, the experience was not bad. There were enough people to maintain law and order, and those who wanted to cut in line failed. The whole line was orderly.

Her legs were sore from standing so long, and finally it was her turn in line and she walked to the store door.

At this critical moment, it is imperative to capture the footage.

The boy in front of Zhang Yuan was also very excited. He reported his information and Origin platform account and said loudly, "Boss! It's my turn! Come on, I'll give you the money."

It looks like he is afraid that he won’t be able to get his game console.

Boss: "Okay, wait a moment. The computer is a bit slow right now and I haven't found your reservation information yet."

Zhang Yuan originally pointed the camera at herself, intending to record the epic moment of entering the store.

After hearing the word "appointment", a trace of astonishment and panic appeared on his face, and he quickly looked at the store owner and the boy in front of him.

"Wait, wait, an appointment? What appointment?"

The shop owner looked over and said, "Of course, you need to make an appointment to purchase offline. This is to prevent scalpers to a certain extent. Don't you have an appointment?"

Zhang Yuan's face fell, and she said pitifully, "No, I didn't know about this. Is there no quota for purchasing the machine directly without making an appointment?"

Boss: "Yes, there are, but not many, and they have already been snapped up by the previous players, unless some players give up their reservation qualification."

Zhang Yuan just felt like the sky was falling.

Was this night wasted?
Just as I was feeling depressed, the store's landline rang.

The busy, sweaty boss picked up the phone: "Hello? OK, OK. I want to confirm again that you want to give up, right? Then this machine will be directly released to customers in need in our store. OK, I understand."

Seeing this scene, Zhang Yuan, who had given up and was about to leave the team to shoot a bad luck vlog, was excited again and said quickly: "Someone just gave up? I want it! I want everything!"

The boss also smiled and said, "You're lucky. This customer had a quarrel with his wife and said that he could only have one of the game console and him at home, so he had no choice but to give up. If you want to buy it, the game console, Ring Fit Adventure, and The Legend of Zelda are packaged together. Do you think it's okay?"

"OK, OK!"

Zhang Yuan rushed over to scan the code and pay.

The corpse felt warm after hearing these words.

Although the process was bumpy and I didn't even know the rules when I started queuing, I was really lucky and managed to get it without any trouble.

Now that I have received the gift, it is naturally impossible to give it away easily.

There still has to be a sense of ritual.

No time to catch up on sleep, cake, big meal, and even small games before giving gifts, nothing can be missing.

I set up the equipment for filming and waited for a while.

The real person, carrying a suitcase, walked into the house after finishing his business trip.

"I'm back. Eh? Such a rich feast, what day is today?"

As soon as I asked, I saw Zhang Yuan coming out of the kitchen with a small cake in her hand.

At the same time, he was singing the birthday song.

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you"

"Today is my birthday? I totally forgot."

Next, blow out the candles.

But before you start eating, there is another process.

gift.

Zhang Yuan blindfolded her boyfriend and slowly walked into the bedroom.

"Suprise!"

Release your hands.

The boy opened his eyes and saw the Switch box on the bed in the bedroom, his eyes widened.

Then he responded, and said with a smile: "You, what kind of prank are you preparing? Some kind of spoof vlog? There must be some work reference book or some scary toy in the Switch box? See how disappointed I am? You've been exposed."

As he said that, he walked forward and opened the box directly.

What was surprising was that there were no scary toys that popped out, nor were there any reference books that looked terrible.

Red and blue handle, all black machine, large screen, and the familiar Naughty Cat LOGO.

I was completely stunned.

The boy took five full seconds to react, then he shouted excitedly and quickly picked up the machine, stroking it in his hands.

Looking at that obsessed look, it's like looking at a work of art.

Even that fanatical look made Zhang Yuan a little jealous.

"I've never been this happy when I was with you."

I didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and was thinking secretly.

The boy looked at the machine with great joy and exclaimed: "Wow, wow, this is a Switch! Where did you get it? Do you know how hard it is to get one? Scalpers don't have many machines, and it's hard to buy them even at a higher price! Oh my God, you are so awesome!"

Zhang Yuan smiled at her excited boyfriend and asked, "Do you like it? I queued up for you all night last night. I was so tired!" "I like it!" The boy let out a long breath and calmed down his excitement. "Wait a minute, I'll go get something."

As he said that, he rushed out of the bedroom and took something from the corner of the living room.

He returned to the bedroom again and guided Zhang Yuan to sit down.

"Hey, hey, what are you doing with such a serious face? Why are you kneeling on one knee? Do you know what this means?"

Zhang Yuan covered her mouth in surprise.

In my boyfriend's hand is a diamond ring.

What video material it is doesn’t matter at this point.

They were all overwhelmed by this sudden feeling of happiness.

Proposal?

My head was buzzing. I only saw my boyfriend saying something with a deep affection on his face, but I couldn't hear a word. Tears were gathering in my eyes.

"Why. So sudden?"

"I just think that a girl who supports and respects my hobbies deserves it!"

Zhang Yuan burst into laughter, slowly stretched out her left hand, and looked at the ring on her ring finger.

At this moment, there was only one thought in my mind.

If I say there is no script for this video, I’m afraid no one will believe me.

At the same time, there was another thought.

Games are really good things.

Two days later.

A new video was uploaded to Bilibili and quickly became popular, entering the top 50 of the entire site's rankings.

"I queued up all night to buy a Switch for my boyfriend, and he found out? ! "

Accompanied by cheerful BGM, you can start shopping from the moment you leave the house, and continue shopping along the commercial pedestrian street.

When I walked out of Haidilao, I saw a queue outside the video game store that had been queuing all night.

From queuing all night to the surprised expressions when finding out that an appointment is required to buy the machine.

Finally, the two of them interacted when they got home, the boy's surprised expression when he saw the Switch, and the proposal that no one expected.

All the single guys in the comment section are jealous.

[Damn it, kill me to help this couple have fun]

[Isn't this really a script?! This is too coincidental! Even if it is a script, it is a good one, so sweet]

[Let me put it this way, from now on when you two have a fight, the guy has to slap himself a few times in the middle of the night and curse at himself saying "I deserve to die"]

[Let me put it this way, even if you two break up, the boy’s friends will scold him for being ungrateful]

[Let me put it this way, your boyfriend may never be able to leave you in this life]

The popularity of the video is gradually not limited to Bilibili.

The Switch is so hard to get that many videos about giving games and graphics cards to boyfriends have appeared on the Internet.

The boys’ reactions in the video are what the audience talked about the most.

It actually led a trend for a while.

In the past, I would give my girlfriend a gift and watch the video of her reaction.

Now comes a reverse Tiangang.

Look at the boys’ reactions!

There are also gifts for brothers, sons, and so on.

In late April, the annual year-end shopping season 618 begins to warm up.

Many people were surprised to find that there is a ranking of gift expectations for boys and girls this year.

The top three this year are: first is the Switch console, second is the 4090 graphics card, and third is Ring Fit Adventure.

Many self-media bloggers discovered the trend brought about by Switch and the dramatic content behind it, and a large amount of related content spread like a virus on short video platforms.

This made many Naughty Cat fans complain.

It was hard to grab in the first place, and it’s even harder now.

In order to buy a console, some people even made decisions that "go against their ancestors' teachings."

[Girls, listen to my advice. Switch is good, but not all boys like it. There’s no need to fight for it, really.]

[This thing is just a game console. Girls will just collect dust if they buy it. There is no need to do that. Really.]

[Naughty Cat's stuff is just so-so, please don't buy it, leave the machine to someone who needs it, Qiuli Gao!!]

I've said so much, but I don't know if it will work.

But the appearance of a video made these fans who couldn't get the game consoles even more desperate.

Zhang Yuan was extremely productive and released another video on April 4.25, just five days after the game console was released.

"Competing with my boyfriend in the Ring Fit Adventure, I lost 4 pounds in two days, can you believe it?"

The game content is very simple.

It's a clip of the two of them playing games together.

But compared to the previous video, this time Zhang Yuan has one more thing in her hand.

Ring.

But it’s not the diamond ring, but the couple’s rings.

The other half is in the boy's hand.

The video begins.

"Since this is Ring Fit Adventure, I can try out its weight loss effect. Well, my current weight is 52 kilograms, don't mock me for being fat!"

The barrage was ridiculing.

【Good little fat man】

The video content is about the two people playing Ring Fit Adventure over the past few days.

The focus of the video is still the old style, focusing on the interaction and teasing between the two people, and not too much on the game content, which will make it difficult for many people who do not play games to watch.

However, many people still noticed the unique way of playing this game.

[Is this a game? A ring? Is this the fitness ring? ]

[It seems interesting, combining fitness and games together, achieving the best of both worlds]

[Is there any other game like this? It's so interesting. Where can I buy it?]

In the video comment area, there is another highly praised comment: [I am going to collapse! My wife didn’t let me buy a Switch, saying that playing with things will ruin my life, so I returned the machine I had reserved. My wife saw this video and said that this game console is good for fitness, so she asked me to buy another one! What am I trying to do? ? ? ]

There are hundreds of replies below.

[No, buddy, you are too miserable. You can also record a video about your experience and it will go viral.]

[I am dying of laughter. Could it be that the one the UP host found is the one you gave up? ]

[Damn it, I don't believe this is a script. A script can't make up such a bizarre story]

The Naughty Cat players were completely desperate.

Many Naughty Cat-style anchors were originally worried about the sales of the console and whether they should buy a few more to support it and hold a prize draw to give back to fans.

Now it seems that it is totally unnecessary.

Because the anchors also have to grab the machines!

Totally unavailable!!

I was complaining about why the only blockbuster game released for Escort was "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild", which was totally not enough.

Now I understand.

Because the positioning of this machine is not only sold to gamers of the right age.

Boys can buy fitness rings for girls to play with and dance, girls can buy them for boys to play Zelda and subsequent exclusive masterpieces, and fathers can buy them for their children to play educational, casual games and party games to enhance parent-child relationships.

This is a console that is designed to be used by people of all ages.

The target is not just pure game players.

This is to further expand the pie of game consoles! (End of this chapter)
