Anti-War Game: Starting from Normandy Campaign-Chapter 195 - 139: Infinite Restart of the "Xiajin Campaign," August’s "Station Showdown" (6.2k two-in-one)_2
Chapter 195: Chapter 139: Infinite Restart of the "Xiajin Campaign," August’s "Station Showdown" (6.2k two-in-one)_2
Training lasted for more than three hours, during which the first hour showed the fastest progress, with Shen Yan and Liu Feng both holding on for 20 seconds.
But as the number of deaths increased, the effect gradually diminished, and they slowly became mentally disoriented.
What was once 20 seconds fell back to just over 10 seconds until, in the third hour, it reverted to getting killed in just a few seconds.
Zhao Ming had a strange look on his face, and to be honest, it was his problem.
He hadn’t given it enough thought.
This kind of intensity should have a set time limit.
Didn’t any of these guys think about quitting?
But looking at the backend data,
almost every time the game started, someone wanted to quit, but they never clicked the exit button....
To die for three hours at this intensity, seeing hundreds of restart records,
is quite remarkable.
This level is definitely hell difficulty, primarily because the buffs have been fully stacked.
In the [Central Station Skirmish], the melee combat mainly involves both sides meeting suddenly in corridors or rooms, and then trying to kill each other.
This sudden burst of killing intent is definitely not comparable to the [Xiajin Campaign].
Initially, Zhao Ming’s side introduced the Northern Army as the enemy’s identity in the plot, so the charges were led by the enemies, who were the targets of the Republic’s ’Lu Bu’.
Compared to sudden encounters in rooms and corridors,
to be stared down by ’Lu Bu’ of the Republic with national hatred and being the target is like having all these buffs stacked together, making them leap to kill in seconds.
The Blue Star soldiers and the killing intent of ’Lu Bu’ from the Republic reached the ultimate level.
The intensity was imaginable.
But progress was equally rapid.
To last for 20 seconds was already very strong. Zhao Ming lowered the threshold for the level by half, making enduring a minute sufficient.
He also added a time limit.
From the results, the first 40 minutes showed the greatest improvement.
Afterwards, there would be mental fatigue.
This was to maximize training in melee combat.
Given the intensity of the [Central Station Skirmish], most ammunition was spent in the first hour; hence, the melee skills honed in the [Xiajin Campaign] could be put to great use.
After all, the soldiers of the Empire, no matter how strong, couldn’t be stronger than Shen Yan and the others facing the Republic’s ’Lu Bu’, which was acknowledged by the entire army.
After adjusting the single-player story mode of the [Xiajin Campaign],
Zhao Ming switched back to the game’s backend big data, showing the growth stats of players from various Federations.
Initially, at the climax of the "Anti-War Competition", there was a peak of 50 million players worldwide.
With the game’s promotion during this period, the total number of players in-game had grown to 73 million.
Among them, the two Federations with agents, the Antarctic Star Federation and the Golden Moon Federation, showed the fastest growth.
The growth in the Golden Moon Federation was due to people following the trend set by the Golden Moon Federation’s Crown Prince, drawing many into the game.
While in the Antarctic Star Federation area, it was due to a father-son streaming duo.
Originally, the streamer wanted to bring his father to play, but the father got so engrossed, joining the workers in the [Jelensky Tractor Factory] to passionately manufacture tanks, attracting a large audience.
Then they got caught up in model mechanical manufacturing and couldn’t come back.
For a while, the factory and mechanical sounds combined with tank manufacturing started to spread, initiating a wave of retro trends in the Antarctic Star.
The retro mechanical peripherals of ’tank’ and ’armor’ types in Polestar sold out.
Shen Qinghan contacted the factory to speed up production.
Zhao Ming registered an account on the Source Star Live Platform on the Antarctic Star end and entered the platform.
At this moment,
in Theodore’s live room on the Source Star Live Platform, upon entering the room,
the clanging sounds came through, and the sight was of red-hot steel gradually taking shape under constant hammering by workers.
The perspective of the live room shifted from time to time.
Sometimes to the assembly shop, sometimes to the smelting shop, a sense of the retro era was palpable.
These scenes were something many elderly in the Federation had never witnessed.
Because the industrial era was surpassed within the first hundred years of the meteor shower, and now everywhere was Blue Star’s new energy and technological manufacturing, who had seen such a retro industrial style.
At this time, everything in-game was novel for Blue Star’s netizens.
Zhao Ming noticed this while looking at the bullet comments.
Pondering.
Thinking about it, nowadays, Blue Star games mostly pile data with splendid mech and mythical beasts having everything, such a retro-style game hadn’t appeared in years, especially one so realistic.
However, this retro industrial style was merely attached to the "World War II: Empire’s Rise".
After all, anything compiled by photon supercomputing couldn’t be as captivating as real history.
This was also the reason the ’industrial style’ of the World War II era was popular in the Antarctic Star Federation.
The industrial history on Blue Star was originally short, and no one would care about that part of the industrial history. Coincidentally, this industrial atmosphere, because of this father-son show’s effect, quickly became popular in the Antarctic Star Federation.
The Federation, already fond of armor, found this primitive wildness of industry bringing a lot of novelty.
In this light, for Blue Star lacking history,
historical-themed games held more potential.
As Zhao Ming pondered, in Theodore’s live room, he felt a sense of emotion.
Standing before a smelting pot filled with molten iron, watching it pour out, Theodore remarked with a sigh:
"Damn it."
"I never thought I’d like mechanics in my life."
"But now I’ve gotten used to it."
Noises of clattering and clanking were all around, sounds he hated as a child because his father, often late from work, wouldn’t sleep when home and just tinkered with machinery.
