Chapter 41
: Erii's Gift
..............................
Below the stage, everyone was silent, stunned as they stared at Herzog lying in a pool of blood.
The White King, is he dead?
Have you finished the game?
Everything happened so fast that many people didn't even have time to react.
"Good, well done!"
"Yeah, that's fucking cool! That's how you deal with guys like this!"
Someone in the crowd started it, and scattered applause rang out in the hall, which quickly turned into a torrent, growing louder and louder until it was deafening!
This includes both the positive and negative feelings towards the characters in the original work, and the affirmation of Lin Zhiying's dashing figure on the big screen.
Who doesn't want to show off in a game?
For a moment, a similar thought popped into their minds:
If I buy the gaming helmet, will I also have a chance to kill Herzog and save Erii, just like him?!
Buy it! You absolutely must buy it!
..............................
Han Li on stage watched the sudden change on the screen; the amount of information he received in that instant was simply too much.
The White King suffered repeated defeats and entered the second phase. The White King—is he dead?!
He suddenly thought of something and quickly asked Lu Yue beside him.
"Has the technical department lowered the difficulty level?"
Lu Yue had the same question, but after asking the back-end technical staff, he received a negative answer.
No difficulty adjustment!
Did you manage to kill the White King and clear the level without relying on the supplies provided in the levels?
And it was even using its own account?
This achievement, which no one had been able to accomplish in their company's internal testing phase, has now been achieved by Lin Zhiying!
Han Li felt like he was dreaming.
"President Han, President Han."
Lu Yue was so excited that he forgot all about etiquette and shook Han Li's arm.
"Our online live stream is overflowing with orders!"
As Han Li ordered Lin Zhiying's footage to be simultaneously broadcast on various platforms, a live stream titled "The Death of Herzog" appeared on all major platforms.
At first, it attracted fans of the original work, but as the buzz grew, more casual viewers were also drawn in.
"Holy crap, is this a trailer for some blockbuster Chinese movie?"
"This graphics, this quality, is this a game?"
"That guy is so handsome, ah!!!"
………………
At first, they were just attracted by the realistic graphics, but after learning more about it, they found out it was the game "Dragon Raja: New World" and realized it was even more amazing!
The game graphics are identical to reality, and the time ratio remains 3:1!
This means that three days inside is equivalent to one day in reality, which is practically the same as immortality!
Therefore, many people no longer buy gaming helmets simply for playing games; they also use them for socializing and entertainment!
Some even plan to buy several as health supplements to give to their elders.
After all, the efficacy of health supplements is a mystery, but the 3:1 time ratio in Dragon Raja: New World really does extend lifespan!
Of course, Old Sebi's figure would also be present there.
The boys drooled when they saw the pitiful Erii standing to the side, while the girls' eyes sparkled as they focused on Lin Zhiying, who was carrying out his duty of justice with a gun.
After learning that there are many such characters in the game, I decisively placed an order!
Han Li's face flushed with excitement as he listened to the reported data.
This live stream sold 50,000 helmets and received 200,000 pre-orders!
More importantly, they achieved their promotional goal: the helmet buyers were no longer just original fans, but also a large number of casual observers.
Dragon Raja: New World has completely broken into the mainstream!
All of this is thanks to Lin Zhiying, who saved Xuanyu Company at least tens of millions of yuan in promotion fees!
........................
[Ding! You have successfully defeated the level boss, Herzog (the White King). The game will automatically exit in 1 minute.]
Hearing the system notification, Lin Zhiying felt a little unsatisfied; he still had three shots to fire.
He glanced disdainfully at Herzog, who was lying on the ground with his head blown off.
The mighty White King is so easily defeated; I'm so disappointed in him.
"I've taken care of the bad guys; you're safe now."
Lin Zhiying smiled and said to the girl huddled to the side, rubbing her deep red hair until it was disheveled.
Erii raised her legs to hug herself, her fair calves the color of milk, and one of her shoes was missing, revealing her delicate foot.
She looked timidly at Lin Zhiying, who was approaching with a smile.
Lin Zhiying's smile looked extremely eerie against the backdrop of the red and white splattered around him.
"Thank you."
Erii lowered her head, innocently found paper and pen, and quickly wrote something, holding it to her ear.
Lin Zhiying smiled knowingly as she looked at the words above.
The girl's affirmation gave him a greater sense of satisfaction than killing the White King.
"From now on, more people will protect you."
Are they as capable as you?
Erii wrote on the paper, adding a cute emoticon at the end.
"That's hard to say."
Lin Zhiying scratched his head. This question was indeed difficult to answer; perhaps there was something even stronger.
"But they're all very interesting, you should like them."
Lin Zhiying thought of the players' unkempt appearance; there was a reason why they were called the "Fourth Calamity."
But perhaps this is exactly what Erii wants?
Time flew by, and a minute passed quickly as Lin Zhiying's figure slowly faded away.
Erii, watching this scene, seemed to recall something, and her small hand quickly wrote on the paper:
"What's your name?"
"Where should I look for you? Can I tell Erii?"
Lin Zhiying looked at the somewhat flustered Erii and was touched. He spoke softly, "Lin Zhiying."
The next moment, his figure completely disappeared, and it was unknown whether Erii had heard it or not.
………………
Lin Zhiying's consciousness did not exit directly, but instead arrived in a pure white space.
He slowly opened his palm, revealing the note that the girl had slipped into his hand at the last moment.
The note still retained the girl's unique scent and body temperature.
[Eri's message]
[Effect: Increases Erii's affection level by 5 points in the game]
[Description: A note left by a girl, on which she hastily scribbled her name and address.]
Lin Zhiying was surprised that this could lead to a game level, which was a pleasant surprise.
He slowly opened his eyes, took off his gaming helmet, and walked outside, just in time to see Li Zhi walking towards him.
Li Zhi was initially somewhat dejected, but his eyes lit up instantly when he saw Lin Zhiying.
"Didn't you pass either?"
"It's okay, it's all about participation. I'll treat you to barbecue later."
This string of words actually confused Lin Zhiying, who didn't know how to tell Li Zhi that he had passed the game.
When the two stepped outside, everyone's eyes were on them, as if they were under an invisible spotlight.
The crowd spontaneously parted to make way for the stage.
Li Zhi was a little confused, but he quickly found a reason and whispered in Lin Zhiying's ear:
"See that? Your brother's a big streamer now. When I'm out and about, this is the kind of entourage I get!"
