It's not just Mo Xiaomo's livestream.
The other streamers who watched the game CG on the Polestar Official Website also started discussing with their viewers which faction would be better to choose.
Based on everyone's understanding and analysis of the game CG.
The Imperial Camp is undoubtedly the strongest, followed by the Anglo-French Federation, and finally the Soviet Union.
So when some streamers initiated a poll.
The Imperial Camp unsurprisingly had the highest support rate.
However, second place was actually the Soviet Union.
The Anglo-French Federation got the fewest votes, even though they appeared stronger in the game CG, yet only came in third.
Clearly, the impact the Soviet Union made was deeply felt.
In Mo Xiaomo's livestream room.
The dilemma of choosing a faction was discussed with the viewers.
Time flew by quickly.
Mo Xiaomo's attention was diverted by messages from the viewers in the chat:
"What? The early download link is usable now?"
"I'm going to check it out right now!"
It's already close to two thirty.
Just half an hour before the competition starts.
And the streamer's early access links have started to open.
This made the viewers envious.
The news brought by a viewer from another stream made Mo Xiaomo excited; she quickly clicked the link in her private messages, entered, and sure enough, the download button lit up.
Mo Xiaomo chuckled and started downloading the game.
A moment later.
The game download completed and Mo Xiaomo installed it into the prepared Virtual Body Sensing Pod.
Mo Xiaomo walked into the pod once, switched the live view inside the pod to follow her perspective:
"Brothers, charge!"
Mo Xiaomo enthusiastically entered the game.
The screen was pitch black.
Then slowly lit up, revealing a massive world map.
Mo Xiaomo knew this was going to set up the background.
A background voice slowly sounded:
"After World War I, the Imperial Camp, as a defeated nation, fell into an unprecedented crisis."
"Economic collapse and hyperinflation were like poison, slowly dragging the Imperial Camp to death."
"The unemployment rate among Imperial citizens reached one-third of the Empire's population."
"At this time."
"A veteran who had fought in World War I and was unwilling to see the downfall of the Imperial Camp stood up."
"By promoting nationalism and the slogan of reviving the Imperial Camp, he swiftly gained massive support."
"In just a few years' time."
"This former Imperial veteran became the Imperial Leader."
"With the rise of the Leader, a policy prioritizing military power was established, leading the Empire to accumulate strength."
"Six years later...."
With the pause in the voiceover, both Mo Xiaomo who was immersed in the plot and the viewers in the livestream room were greatly surprised.
World War I, the Imperial Camp was a defeated nation?
This is quite a contrast to the game CG.
And an economic collapse and hyperinflation, with a national unemployment rate reaching one-third?
Damn?
It didn't collapse under such circumstances?
They managed to pull it back?
Absolutely outrageous?!
At this moment, the world map in front of them showed the Empire's borders beginning to expand.
"With a command from the Imperial Leader, the Empire's invasion began...."
"The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, Danish Federation, Norwegian Federation, Netherlands Federation, Belgian Federation, and French Federation all fell in turn, and wherever the Empire's forces pointed, they were unstoppable."
With each sentence spoken by the voiceover, the Empire's borders expanded a little more, and within a few sentences, it already occupied most of the field of vision.
The chat in the livestream room exploded.
[Damn? Damn?! Damn?!!!]
[Is this right for the Empire? They cheated!]
[No? Is this right?]
[The downfall is too fast, didn't anyone resist?]
[It's truly outrageous!]
[They cheated, definitely cheated!!!]
Mo Xiaomo widened her eyes.
And at this moment, the map slowly disappeared.
The screen darkened, and the voiceover sounded again:
"With the fall of the French Federation, the Allied Federation initiated a counterattack to quickly change the tide of battle."
"Prepared to open up a second front."
"To relieve pressure on the Soviet Union engaging the Empire."
"Normandy, this advantageous geographical location, close to the homeland of the British Commonwealth."
"Became the target of the Allied Federation."
As the voice finished.
Mo Xiaomo entered the training field, an extremely simple tutorial appeared.
After teaching Mo Xiaomo how to fire a gun, it ended.
The only thing visible was a [Normandy Landing] button.
Mo Xiaomo clicked.
Displaying [427/500].
Somewhat unclear about the meaning.
Just thinking.
The screen suddenly lit up and switched.
The scene abruptly changed to the ocean.
Mo Xiaomo found that she already had a virtual body and was on a landing craft, with no health bars or anything, just a one-to-one replica virtual self, even the modeling was omitted.
"Huh?"
"Is it straight into the storyline?"
Looking at the surrounding environment, the planes roaring overhead, the low prayers of soldiers in the ears, and the swaying landing craft.
Obviously, it has already entered the beginning of the storyline.
"Damn? Sister Mo!"
Mo Xiaomo was a little dazed, turned her head to look:
"Who are you?"
The person wearing the uniform of the Allies said:
"I'm your fan!"
"Oh right, I'm also on Celestial Shark Live, guys, my livestream room number is 16625.... Remember to...."
Mo Xiaomo's eyes widened.
What the heck?!
There's a dog!!!
"No way? Hold on! No ads in my livestream room!"
"Also!"
"What's going on?!"
Only then did Mo Xiaomo realize, this wasn't an immersive experience story?!
How is it multiplayer?!
The broadcaster player nearby shook his head:
"No idea."
"After I finished watching the background story, it showed my rank was over three hundred."
"Waited for a while and then got in."
At this moment.
The sound of 'what the heck' also resonated around them, and through the broadcasters' exchanges, they realized that everyone was randomly assigned to different assault boats.
Such a novel gameplay drew curious faces from the audience in the livestream rooms.
And as the assault boats charged toward the distant beach, getting closer and closer, the NPC commander on the boat warned:
"Don't block the ramp, landing in three minutes!"
"Everyone disembark from both sides!"
Everyone understood that the mission was to land and seize the beach.
This is simple.
Quite a few FPS (First-Person Shooter) game streamers were eager to show off their skills.
Meanwhile.
Inside the Polestar Game Company.
Shen Qinghan was sitting on the couch, watching the reactions in different livestream rooms, nodding from time to time, but the sudden start of the game left Shen Qinghan puzzled.
What's the deal?
Is there a bug?
It's not even five hundred people yet?
How did it start?
Shen Qinghan just raised his head and looked towards Zhao Ming, who was excitedly saying:
"Quick!"
"Log in!"
"Hahaha, I knew that sly one would play!!!"
"I'll outplay you soon, buddy!"
Then he quickly got up, walked to the nearby Virtual Body Sensing Pod, and lay down.
Shen Qinghan got up and curiously asked:
"What's happening?"
Zhao Ming urged Shen Qinghan to quickly lie down in the nearby Virtual Body Sensing Pod:
"You'll know as soon as you get in the game."
Feeling bewildered, Shen Qinghan still lay down.
As the game started.
What appeared was not an assault boat, but a dim fortress.
In the middle of the wall inside the fortress was a number painted with paint.
[62]
Shen Qinghan turned to look around, feeling a bit dazed:
"Where is this?"
Zhao Ming next to him gave a mysterious smile, pulling Shen Qinghan out:
"Now take a look."
Seeing the densely packed assault boats on the azure sea and the bombers flying in the distant sky, Shen Qinghan's eyes widened:
"We've become the Imperial Garrison?!"
"Didn't you say this faction wasn't open?!"
Zhao Ming's lips curled slightly:
"Well, I am the one who made this game."
Saying that.
He jumped onto the platform next to the fortress.
Lowered the Imperial anti-aircraft gun meant for air defense, aiming at the distant sea.
Shen Qinghan asked curiously:
"What are you doing?"
Zhao Ming showed an evil grin:
"The links sent out have all confirmed identities."
"The early access game link just sent to a small streamer got hijacked by someone else."
"I took a look at that guy's face."
"It's Xu Huan."
Having faced off for so many days, Zhao Ming was quite familiar.
After all, as a manager of a big company like Emperor Penguin Group, you can easily find past videos or character introductions online.
In contrast, Zhao Ming's information is much less available, many people don't even know what Zhao Ming looks like.
Especially since Polestar Games' first game was "Cyber Blue Star: 2077"
But it got copied before it was released, so there's no reputation, where would anyone pay attention.
Zhao Ming looked at the leveled anti-aircraft gun, eager to try it out.
How does that saying go? Leveling an anti-aircraft gun is a military tribunal case, but for now... Stroking the anti-aircraft gun Zhao Ming chuckled:
"Watch how I blow him to pieces today?!"
"There's one over there too, you go play with that one."
After saying this.
Zhao Ming paused, seemingly distracted for a moment.
The next second
But on the distant sea, a flashing red light suddenly appeared above an assault boat.
Zhao Ming pointed at the red light:
"Just hit that assault boat with the red light."
"I marked it for that sly Xu Huan, no one else can see it."
"Fire away! Infinite ammo!"
???
Shen Qinghan widened his eyes.
Hey?
Is anyone seeing this?!
I'm reporting this! Someone's cheating! He's cheating!!!
(Zhao Ming: It's the Imperial Camp, of course, I'm playing hahaha!)
