Chapter 264 The First Tourism Expo
Bypassing the huge joint exhibition area of ​​several companies such as Creative Workshop and Tianzhiyuan, Li Wenbo and Wu Yufei chatted and looked around while walking, paying attention to the surrounding situation.

"Old Wu, look at the MM over there, the buttons of her clothes are all loose." Li Wenbo pointed to a small stage nearby, and shouted in amazement.

"Ah, where is where?" Wu Yufei, who was still staring at the side a moment ago, immediately turned his head around, and followed the direction of Li Wenbo's finger, trying to find the legendary MM.

Seeing Wu Yufei's longing expression, Li Wenbo put his hands over his mouth and tried desperately to hold back, but he still couldn't hold his breath, and burst out laughing with a "puchi".

"Oh," Wu Yufei suddenly realized: "Well, you doctor, you're making fun of me, let's see how I deal with you."

After he finished speaking, he pretended to roll up his sleeves. Li Wenbo ran away with an "oops", and Wu Yufei immediately chased after him.After not running far, Li Wenbo in front suddenly stopped. If Wu Yufei, who was following behind, hadn't reacted fast enough, he might have bumped into him.

"Doctor, what's wrong with you?" Wu Yufei asked puzzled.

Li Wenbo stood still, looked at a booth next to him, and murmured: "Old Wu, look at this, what is this?"

Wu Yufei looked in the direction Li Wenbo was looking at, and he couldn't help being stunned.What appeared in front of Wu Yufei was a booth, or it should be a booth. The reason why I said "should be" is because there is a circle of red ribbons around this large area, which is a bit like seeing the police handling a case on TV. For Shila’s cordon, a very large black-gray mat was spread in the area surrounded by the red ribbon, with the words “Baofeng Electronics” printed in white on the side of the mat, and a There are several red numbers vertically on the long black table, like a certain date in the future.

This is a booth, but Wu Yufei couldn't understand why he didn't display something like other booths, not to mention game demos, even just a few game posters would be good.But the so-called booth in front of me has nothing but the red number in the middle, the black table and the huge cushion. What's more inconspicuous is that there are several men in black suits and sunglasses standing outside the red silk. They all have cold faces, just like the bodyguards in the movie.

"This..." Wu Yufei hesitated, and said, "I can't tell."

In fact, both of them saw a sign on the so-called stand in front of the booth, which read in bold characters: "Please look forward to the unveiling of the domestic game console..."

To be honest, both Li Wenbo and Wu Yufei fantasized about the day when domestic consoles were born, but what they thought and what they saw could not be connected at all. Although the name "Baofeng Electronics" seemed familiar, they did not Can't imagine any company using this method to showcase their "game console", if that "game console" existed, of course.

Li Wenbo and Wu Yufei are not people who have never seen the world. Although their world is basically seen from game magazines, at least they have experienced the days of PS, SS and N64 game consoles from preheating to release. When it comes to your own game console, you can always reveal something, or get a model of the console to enjoy your eyes.But Baofeng Electronics is good. Except for a space, everything else can be said to be saved. The two looked at each other and sighed in unison, "Could it be that the domestic game console is still a dream in the end?" Li Wenbo sighed in his heart. .

A lot of spectators gathered beside the almost empty booth, and most of them got together in twos and threes, pointing at the empty booth or whispering among each other. Among the crowd, Wu Yufei even spotted a few journalists. The people were taking pictures of the booth with their cameras, and the flashes were turned on from time to time, making the empty booth pale.

Wu Yufei patted Li Wenbo's shoulder lightly, and greeted: "Doctor, let's go, there's nothing to see here."

"Hmm..." Li Wenbo responded, and took one last look at the sign standing in front of the booth, then turned around and continued walking with Wu Yufei.

After walking a few steps ahead, we arrived at the end of Area A. Turning to the right, there is an area separated by a half-height partition. There are about fifteen or six computers, and there are people sitting in front of each computer. It looks like Fengyun A corner of the Internet cafe chain.Li Wenbo and Wu Yufei went over to have a look. It turned out that a group of people were playing online battles, and they were all games such as "Maximum Alert" and "Fifa98 Road to the World Cup".

The half-height partition divides this area into left and right, which is just convenient for the confrontation between the two sides. There is a super-large-screen monitor between the two confrontation areas. Li Wenbo roughly estimated that it should be at least 36 inches.What was playing on the monitor was a match between two players in "Fifa98 Road to the World Cup". It happened to be the same as this year's World Cup final, yellow Brazil against blue France.Huge character shapes, dexterous extraordinary movements, passionate background music, coupled with passionate commentary and loud cheers, from a little distance, people mistakenly think that it is a replay of the World Cup final, which does not feel at all It is not comparable to the 15-inch monitor at home.

"...Carlos took the ball straight up the field. At the front of the penalty area, he cleverly made a two-for-one collision with Ronaldo and passed the last French central defender. When facing the goalkeeper Barthez , Carlos volleyed calmly, the ball went straight to the upper right corner of the goal, and quickly went into the net..."

When the two stopped to watch, the player who happened to operate the Brazilian team launched a wonderful attack. After a series of passes, Carlos went from the backcourt to the penalty area of ​​the French team and blasted the ball into the guard of Barthez It can be regarded as a sigh of relief for the real Brazilian team.

Seeing the replay of the goal on the big screen monitor, Wu Yufei exclaimed in amazement: "Wow, this guy is really good, his passing is so smooth, and he even came up with a dragon!"

"Hey, this is nothing. If you have seen the cooperation in "Pro Evolution Soccer", you won't find it unusual." Li Wenbo shook his head and said disdainfully.

"Really, then I really have to go to your house to see it some other day."

"Okay, welcome anytime!"

After staying for a while, the two walked to the B area on the other side, ready to see what new things were in the international exhibition area over there.The international exhibition area is mainly from game companies with relatively developed game industries in Europe, America and Japan. The only exception is from Hong Kong Oriental Electronic Entertainment Co., Ltd., because its companies are all over the world, and there are no vacancies in area A, so except for creative workshops Except for domestic companies, the booths of other companies are all arranged in area B.

"Blizzard!" Wu Yufei exclaimed in surprise. Blizzard (Blizzard) is his favorite game company, whether it is "Big Pineapple" that can be compared with "Legend of Blackstone" or the legendary "Warcraft in Space". "StarCraft" is a game he is very obsessed with, just like the game produced by the creative workshop in China.

"Bulfrog, Maixs!" Li Wenbo on the other side also showed a surprised expression. These two game companies are also his favorites, whether it is Bullfrog's anti-mainstream "Dungeon Guardian" and the lighthearted and funny "Theme Hospital", It is still Maixs' "Sim City" series and a lot of "Sim XX", which are all games that he is very obsessed with.

Fortunately, the booths of these three companies happened to be next to each other, so Li Wenbo and Wu Yufei didn't need to split up, and they could watch them one by one in order.The Blizzard company booth provided computers for players to try out the freshly released "StarCraft", but the slight difference was that the computer was running the Simplified Chinese version, which made Wu Yufei very happy, so he used No need to bother guessing the meaning of cutscenes anymore, and the tasks of each level in single player mode are also clearer.In addition to trying out the computer, there is also a large-screen TV that is playing a demonstration animation in the booth. Wu Yufei stood aside and pondered for a while, and found that the demonstration animation seemed to indicate "the follow-up version of Big Pineapple". The staff was very strict. He asked for a long time, but they just smiled and repeated the same English sentence "Sorry, I have trouble understanding you", so Wu Yufei had no choice but to follow Li Wenbo to visit the booths of the other two companies.

Bullfrog showed three games they are still developing, "Theme Park World", "God Is Crazy 3", and "Dungeon Guardian 2". They are all just sequels, especially the first two games. Li Wenbo has played the previous games before. Compared with what he sees now, "Theme Park World" and "God Is Crazy 3" are just 3D. As for whether the details have been adjusted, due to Wu Yufei's urging, he I didn't have time to study it carefully.But "Dungeon Guardian 2", because even Wu Yufei became interested, the two of them watched it for a little longer, at least Li Wenbo learned that in addition to the standard campaign mode, the game will provide "conflict battle" and " My Dungeon" and several new single-player game modes.

Maixs is still an old tradition, every time it comes out with a game, Sim (simulation) is indispensable, and this time is no exception.When Li Wenbo turned to the booth here, several players were sitting there quietly building their own cities.According to the surrounding crowd, this is the updated version of "Sim City 3000" of the previous generation "Sim City". Much more refined.What's more interesting is that Li Wenbo also found that there are many familiar places on the map that a player is playing, such as a familiar building in Zhongguancun, a famous research park near Shangdi, and even the "Oriental Electronic Game City". It also appeared impressively in the business district, giving people a very friendly feeling.

"Old Wu, look at this city map, it even has 'Oriental Video Game City', how interesting." Li Wenbo waved to Wu Yufei and said.

"Really, I'll take a look." Wu Yufei came over curiously to have a look, but he didn't expect it to be exactly what Li Wenbo said, and couldn't help but be amused: "Hey, it's really true. But it's still a bit regretful, if I can become a citizen Just go to the city and experience it for yourself.”

"You have a good idea. Do you still expect to play arcade games in the 'Oriental Video Game City'? That's impossible, at least temporarily. It's not easy to simulate how complicated the city is." Li Wenbo couldn't help being amused, he didn't expect Wu Yufei to be able to imagine.

"Hey, just talk about it, why take it seriously." Wu Yufei smiled, turned around and pointed forward with his hand, and said, "By the way, let's go over there and have a look, look how big Lehman is. !"

Li Wenbo looked in the direction Wu Yufei pointed, and there was really a big Lehman model standing there with a naive smile: "Okay, let's go!"

The two continued to visit, and gained a lot from looking along the way. They saw a booth that looked like a military fortress. On that day, there were a few burly men patrolling back and forth with futuristic weapons. Experience the professional racing cockpit of "F1 Grand Prix", the electronic surfboard used to experience the water skiing game, and even saw two hardware manufacturers demonstrating the performance of computer equipment.

"I said, Old Wu, why don't you try that water skiing game? I didn't see how real it felt." Li Wenbo put his hands in his hands, looked at the booth not far from him, and said to Wu Yufei beside him.

"Hey~ Then what, you don't know me yet. You are not born with strong balance ability. You really can't play this kind of game. Hey, just talk about me, why don't you go by yourself?" Wu Yufei asked back.

"Hey..." Li Wenbo smiled awkwardly. In fact, he wanted to try it too, but just now when he saw someone dangling on the board, he panicked for some reason. Maybe what Wu Yufei said Yes, they are the kind of guys who don't have a strong sense of balance in the real world.

"Brothers, you can make it easy for me to find!" At this moment, a familiar voice sounded behind the two of them, and when they turned their heads, it turned out that it was Zhao Wei who came looking for them.

"Hey~ We didn't see you were busy, so let's just take a look." Li Wenbo poked Wu Yufei beside him, and said, "Yes, old Wu."

"That's right, we are very considerate buddies." Wu Yufei replied with a smile.

"Okay, okay, don't be polite to me." Zhao Wei took out two cards from his pocket and handed them over, saying: "This is the trial card I mentioned at the beginning, you two have numbers 96 and 97, It should be your turn in about half an hour, do you want to go shopping again, or go now?"

"Still shopping? Of course we are going now. We have to see what games are there to play. Otherwise, half an hour will pass." Wu Yufei took the card and left, Li Wenbo and Zhao Wei had no choice but to follow. rushed over.

On the way back, Zhao Wei also took the time to introduce the games provided by the trial computer to the two of them. After listening to his description, the two of them quickly made their own choices, and Li Wenbo naturally liked it. "Mecha Storm" with the GX-9901-DX body, and Wu Yufei planned to see the "Warring States Policy" that claimed to surpass "Three Kingdoms".
