Chapter 257: Squeezing the System's Blood and Sweat, the Master of Flipping the Spoon
In a small room near the contestant testing area, Pei Yunteng gritted his teeth at the scene in front of him.
It’s messy, it’s too messy.
This internal beta test not only allows players to test the operation of the game itself, but also uses their confrontations to simulate the visual effects of future professional competitions during broadcasts.
But as it stands...it's not ideal.
In fact, even in Pei Yunteng’s previous life, the reason why chicken-eating competitions could not become popular was that the popularity of live broadcasts was not even as high as that of many anchor teams.
The most important reason is that the broadcasting effect is really unsatisfactory.
For the audience, when watching the host's chicken-eating team, their perspective follows the same person throughout the whole process, and they can clearly see what happened from beginning to end.
And since you are watching one person the whole time, you can see intuitively what moves he used and what effects he achieved.
The viewing effect is naturally good.
As for the unobserved battlefield, it has nothing to do with the audience anyway, so just don't watch it.
But it’s different when it comes to the competition.
The biggest problem with a game like PUBG is that it doesn't have a real focus, yet there are so many participating teams and people.
Other competitions with a lot of people basically have a focus.
For example, in a marathon, whoever runs the fastest will be the center of the broadcast.
For example, in football, the audience's attention will be focused on whoever has the ball.
There are also some competitions, like League of Legends, where the center is relatively blurred.
But there were few people, only three roads, and the frequency of fighting was limited, so it was difficult to broadcast it.
What about eating chicken?
There are more than 10 or 20 teams, 50 or 60 people, and they often bloom in multiple places.
Moreover, the map is terribly large, and even the panoramic effect is very poor.
It is impossible to assign a commentator to every team, as that would cause chaos in the commentary.
When it comes to battle, it's even more outrageous.
Especially Naraka: Bladepoint, which uses cold weapons, with flashing swords and sabers, various combos and coordination, and a full 3D mode of a melee between more than a dozen people, the main theme is a scene of chaos and disorder among demons.
In terms of viewing experience, it is not even as good as the graphics of the past Honor Professional League.
At least there are fewer people, so the focus won't be that chaotic, and there are only two camps, so it's easy to see who's going to beat whom.
Although due to his experience in his previous life, Pei Yunteng attached great importance to this aspect and put a lot of effort into researching the corresponding broadcasting methods.
But the final effect is still unsatisfactory.
Take the chaotic battle at the entrance of Zhutian Cave for example. Since the battlefield is in the canyon, with mountain walls on both sides and warships on top, there is not enough space.
As a result, Wang Jiexi's Tianhaihai used his ultimate skill immediately after being stabbed out by Tang Hao, transformed into a giant Buddha and started to grab every kid.
The Buddha is majestic, but the over ten meter tall model is standing in such a cramped canyon, with several people running around in circles with it, trying to fix its feet.
That picture, that perspective...
The main one is terrible.
"The viewing experience is a big problem..." Pei Yunteng scratched his head.
After racking his brains for a long time and still having no clue, Pei Yunteng simply decided to start.
"Tongzi, come out for a walk."
"F******!" It was another system that hadn't been seen in hundreds of chapters, and it started swearing as soon as it appeared.
If other systems knew how it had been doing during this period, they would be so laughing that it would be on the hot search list.
After all, it is rare for a system to be squeezed to exhaustion by its host.
Originally, when he had just linked up with Pei Yunteng, seeing that he didn't rely much on his help, he lightly caused chaos in the entire Glory Professional League and the World Electronic Sports Association behind it.
It even took less than a month and a half to willingly recruit Ye Xiu, the most stubborn and diehard of the Full-time World.
I thought it deserved to be happy for once, just like the system of the cat station next door, just being a boss and a human complaining machine.
But Tongzi forgot one thing:
The guy it bound to this time was only in his early thirties. He occasionally had some issues with his second-year syndrome and wasn't very serious usually.
But in the final analysis, he is still a capitalist.
And he is a capitalist with a very bad conscience.
Ever since the League of Legends went online, Pei Yunteng, who had long been eyeing the technical content of the system, began to assign tasks to the system.
And each of them is heavyweight.
The anti-piracy system should be able to catch and kill even the scripts at the first moment, ensuring that terrible incidents like the Tyrant Maggot will never happen in this world.
The ranking matching system must maintain the balance of player experience as much as possible while ensuring the balance of the game's combat power, and it cannot allow players to use evil methods such as chicken claws.
There is also a system for detecting players' real-time performance, which is capable of killing all kinds of actors and pressure monsters as soon as they show up, and even those suspected of being fish bombers have to be marked out.
Basically, in the past, competitive games like LOL encountered many shortcomings in the long-term operation process, and some of them can be solved by technological progress.
Pei Yunteng basically threw all of them to the system.
Poor Tongzi hadn't even had a few days of easy wins before Pei Yunteng used him as a non-staff employee of Tenghai.
Although it does have extremely high technical capabilities, there are no finished products of these things.
After all, its previous hosts, even the best-performing ones, didn't give much thought to these aspects.
What people are looking for are things like "comprehensively upgraded graphics, super-intelligent AI" or something like that, or all game formats are forcibly converted to large-world exploration.
As an offline system, Pei Yunteng could only develop the things it wanted little by little from scratch.
I don’t know whether Mr. Pei is too greedy or the system is too useless.
Even in addition to developing technology, he also has to help Boss Pei monitor the various movements of the opponent.
The main focus is on extreme exploitation.
Now everyone in Tencent knows that the boss has secretly recruited a group of technical experts to form a top-secret development team, and has produced a bunch of awesome stuff.
Many key members were marveling at the boss's ability and good confidentiality. Even the veterans did not know the specific situation of this top-secret development team.
After all, it takes a huge project to develop a system with such high technological content.
But they didn’t know that this “ace development team” only had one employee, who had never received a single day’s salary.
"What's wrong again?" The system looked weak and hollow.
The non-stop development really exhausted this guy.
What the system was most looking forward to at this moment was that Pei Yunteng just asked it to come out and monitor what kind of mess the e-sports association next door was doing, so that it could relax a little.
But when he saw what was playing on the screen in front of Pei Yunteng, his heart sank immediately.
broken.
"Brother Tong, my good brother Tong." Since there was no one around, Pei Yunteng acted like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water, and he was so shameless that he dallyed with the system:
"Isn't this a problem that's hard to solve?"
"Stop, what do you want to do?" The system shuddered.
Don't be fooled by this guy's fawning look. Generally speaking, when he puts on this attitude, it means that he has a big job and needs to work overtime.
"Do you still remember the reason why we were able to defeat the game of Glory?" Pei Yunteng persuaded.
"Fairness, watchability, and legitimizing e-sports through the World Championships..." The system was listless.
Pei Yunteng clapped his hands: "That's right! So the viewing experience of the game must be the top priority of a league!"
"But look—" He pointed at the screen, "Can we show this to the audience? It's not good, right? It's destroying our reputation and the great ideals of the system!"
“Stop, stop, stop!” The system’s tone was filled with a sense of giving up. “I know, I know. You want to improve the viewing experience of PUBG games, right?”
"First of all, in order to avoid you being dragged to drink tea or even sliced, it is definitely unrealistic to completely solve this problem."
"What we can do is to make the switching of perspectives and focus points more intelligent as much as possible, and at the same time increase the data analysis of live broadcast images to make it as easy as possible for the audience to watch."
"But it is definitely unrealistic to want the same level of viewing experience as League of Legends or CS."
"Enough, enough!" Pei Yunteng smiled happily and nodded frequently.
The quality of the stuff produced by the system is obvious to all, except for the so-called perfect version of League of Legends which is a bit nonsense.
All the others are good things that have achieved the ultimate effect without going too far beyond the existing technological level.
He also had no intention of allowing Naraka: Bladepoint to surpass League of Legends in terms of viewing level.
He is also worried that Eternal Tribulation and League of Legends will snatch users away...
After all, in the past, League of Legends was almost killed by the sudden emergence of PUBG. If the viewing experience is really improved, it will add fuel to the fire of e-sports for eating chicken.
Then not only will Honor be in trouble again, but even the League of Legends, which they have worked so hard to develop, will suffer a huge impact.
However, compared with MOBA, this mode does not have such unstoppable long-term operational vitality. It becomes popular quickly and fades away quickly.
If you can’t afford it, you can’t afford it.
The expectations given by the system are exactly in line with Tenghai’s core interests.
By controlling the popularity of the chicken-eating genre to a level that is moderate but not too popular, the game can make a lot of money without being seriously damaged by internal strife.
Seeing that the system had once again provided him with a great assist, Pei Yunteng was just about to say a few embarrassing words of thanks.
But suddenly I heard the system's slightly surprised voice:
"Is this... flipping the spoon? Is this his first time playing it?"
Pei Yunteng was stunned and looked towards the live broadcast screen. Sure enough, he saw that Tang Hao, who had just been beaten by the Thunder Three Young Masters, actually picked up Dai Yanqi's walnut into the air with one knife.
Then, he landed, dodged, slid, and then ascended, repeating the cycle over and over again.
Dai Yanqi was beaten so hard that she couldn't get down from the sky.
This scene is one of the most talked-about techniques among players in Naraka:
The fire man flips the spoon.
……
Time goes back to one minute ago.
Tang Hao, who was so angry at his two stupid teammates, was immediately shocked when he saw three people rushing out of the treasure cave in complete condition and well-equipped.
This fright woke him up.
Although he could be considered wealthy after plundering half of Tianren City, no matter how wealthy he was, he couldn't fight three people alone when their equipment and skills were not much different.
As his scalp numbed, he suddenly stepped back and wanted to escape.
But when the Thunder saw this young man coming up to fight alone, their eyes immediately became fierce.
I was just trapped in the treasure cave by so many old guys, and I was feeling very depressed.
How could I bear it when I suddenly saw a guy like this breaking in?
"You bastard! Don't run!" Dai Yanqi shouted tenderly, and she immediately rushed forward with the newly picked up long sword, completely changing her cowardly look when she was trapped and trembling and shouting.
Fang Xuecai and Cheng Tai followed closely behind, and a grappling hook accurately hit Tang Hao who was trying to escape, forcing him to stop.
Tang Hao could only turn around and face the enemy.
However, no matter how tough a player is, it is impossible for him to gain an advantage in a head-on confrontation when facing a one-versus-three situation.
The Thunder trio played with extreme caution. Even when they were under a three-way pincer attack, they did not accumulate mana, but just used normal attacks to grind down the opponent bit by bit.
When Tang Hao could no longer hold back and began to forcibly accumulate the Blue Tyrant Body, the three of them immediately swung their swords together, and the purple spear, which had already had very little durability, flew out of their hands.
The only melee weapon left on him was a white-quality katana.
Seeing that Lei Ting's men were about to use their vibrating sword to execute him, Tang Hao had no choice but to use his ultimate move.
"Burn with rage!"
A blazing flame suddenly erupted from all over Ji Canghai's body, knocking Lei Ting and the other two away at the same time.
He himself instantly distanced himself at a somewhat insane speed.
"So flexible!" Tang Hao was surprised.
He actually didn't know much about Ji Canghai's skills.
The reason why he chose this hero before was purely because among the ten existing people, this guy’s temperament was closest to Tang Hao’s old profession - gangster.
In the previous battle, due to his lack of skill in operation and accumulated anger, Tang Hao had not even used a single ultimate move.
This was his first release, and the effect was outstanding.
After Ji Canghai uses his ultimate skill, not only will his entire body be covered in flames, but his speed and flexibility will also increase significantly.
As we all know, when Brand uses his ultimate skill, it not only burns Ji Canghai's internal strength, but also the player's IQ.
Seeing this guy was so good at fighting, the first thing that came to Tang Hao's mind was not how to use the speed to escape, but -
Think of a way to give them a good beating!
Not caring that he only had a white sword in his hand, he turned around and tried to fight back.
Not to mention, the sight of him covered in flames and lightning, coupled with his slightly devilish agility, really frightened Dai Yanqi and the others.
They had never seen such a thing before, so their response became somewhat disorganized.
Tang Hao, knowing that he was at a disadvantage in both health and combat power, was not greedy. He relied on his flexibility to deal with them, slashing once and running away, focusing on scraping.
Until he used a Shenglong on Dai Yanqi.
Originally, Tang Hao really had no bad intentions. He just wanted to use his sword to knock Hu Tao away and create some space for himself.
But the movement of the brand man after using the big move was too short, so after he used the rising dragon, he first dodged Fang Xuecai's vertical slash, and then used a flat attack again.
Dai Yanqi's walnuts have just landed.
This detail was captured by Tang Hao.
"This..." As a player who made it to the Glory All-Stars in his second year as a rookie, there is no doubt that Tang Hao is very talented in similar action games.
Almost in a split second, he vaguely realized what kind of effect this speed of attack might produce.
Is it possible?
So, he quickly released his prairie fire power on the spot and blocked the Thunder Squad's attack.
At the same time, Huang Shaotian was asked to type at the fastest speed in his life:
Tang San said: "Wait a minute! I want to experiment with something!"
The public screen typing of Narration can be seen by all nearby players.
Not only the three Thunder men were stunned, but even the sixth man from Team 3, who was about to lose his mind in the melee nearby, stopped moving at the same time.
What does this guy want to do?
Tang Hao had no time to explain, as the Fire Man's ultimate skill only lasted for a few seconds, and a lot of it was used up in the fight just now.
As soon as possible!
So he rushed directly to Dai Yanqi who had not yet reacted, the cold light of the sword flashed, and he slashed with the Rising Dragon!
Seeing the unlucky Xiao Dai flying into the air again, Fang Xuecai and the others suddenly became a little annoyed: Are you playing a trick on us?
Just as they were about to step forward and continue fighting with Tang Hao, they saw that Tang Hao's Fire Man completely ignored their actions.
Before the rising dragon hits the ground, he immediately dodges to cancel the backswing, then slides back to the previous position and rises again!
Dai Yanqi was still flying in the air, and before she landed, she was hit by Tang Hao's Shenglong accurately, and immediately took off again uncontrollably.
The crowd of old six watching the game: "?!"
Even Fang Xuecai and Cheng Tai, who were originally furious and ready to settle the score, were stunned.
Similar to the levitation skill in Glory, after the character in Eternal Tribulation is hit and floated in the air, he cannot move unless he has a skill that can be released when being hit.
Just now, after Dai Yanqi was lifted into the air and before she landed on the ground, Tang Hao hit her with a Rising Dragon Slash and she was lifted into the air again.
There is no space to hide in between.
As for Brand's combo, he can continue it before his ultimate skill ends and his energy is exhausted.
During this period, without the help of her teammates, Dai Yanqi couldn't even resist.
That is to say...
This is a truly infinite combo that the enemy cannot resist!
After realizing this, everyone's eyes were filled with surprise and expectation.
We are all beginners, and we are all trying to figure out the advanced gameplay of this game, striving to make further progress in it.
And at this time, someone developed skills similar to the gunner's gun control and the sharpshooter's pistol technique without any guidance. How could we not be surprised?
"It works!" Tang Hao's eyes lit up.
This is indeed an infinite combo.
Without caring about anything else, Brand used his old tricks again: dodging, sliding, and ascending into the sky!
Xiao Dai, who still failed to land, continued to take off.
Then the fourth time, the fifth time...
Having witnessed the birth of such a new skill, everyone, including Lei Ting, had stopped their moves. They were just waiting to see how far Tang Hao's acrobatic combo could go.
Suddenly, the only sound in the voice was Dai Yanqi's screams:
"Who can help me……"
"Put me down..."
The first update will be available soon.
