Here, Lucas and the Nebula Games team are looking around the theme park.
But on the other hand, players are going crazy.
Even though there's only one day left, this last day feels extra long, and many players' expectations have built up to the very top.
This is true for players both from overseas and from within the country.
'Aaaaaaah… I've waited so long my flowers have wilted! I'm overseas, can I change my computer's time zone to unlock the carnival faster?'
'Bro, I think there's something wrong with you!'
'It's too hard. Every day of waiting is torture, especially when you hear little bits of news about new games.'
'I wonder what kind of surprises Boss Lucas will bring us in the presentation this time?'
'Don't even talk about it. I've looked at the two promotional images for Zack that Boss Lucas released before at least a few times every day.'
'So, did you figure anything out from them?'
'Of course I did. No matter how I looked at them, I only saw two words: absolute nonsense!'
'It's true. If there hadn't been any news beforehand, it would have been fine, but now we're waiting anxiously!'
'Torture! But the park opens tomorrow, which makes me a little happy.'
'Happy about what? Did you forget? The last day is the presentation, which means the first two and a half days are only fun for the truly lucky ones!'
'Damn, you're right when you put it like that!'
...
Players chatted in waves, and time flew by to the day the Nebula Games theme park opened.
The weather was quite nice. Although it was already September, the temperature wasn't high and many people were still wearing long sleeves.
Players from within the country and from overseas all had excited expressions on their faces.
And the players who managed to come here were basically all loyal fans of Nebula Games.
The players at the scene were also talking among themselves.
"So many people!"
"Yeah, we'll have to wait in a really long line!"
"It looks long, but when everyone is orderly, it actually moves pretty fast, and it's not just this one entrance."
"I wonder if Boss Lucas will appear?"
"Didn't you see the schedule? Boss Lucas will only appear for the presentation on the last day."
"What about that thing?"
"Yeah, you can just download the APP from the official website. It has all the information about the attractions and the evening's program. Oh, friend, why aren't you queuing up yet?"
"Queuing up? I don't have a ticket! You guys with tickets, hurry up and queue!"
"I don't have one either…"
"Tickets are for the lucky ones. I'm a super unlucky person…"
"So, everyone here doesn't have tickets?"
"That's right. Anyone with a ticket wouldn't be chatting with us; they'd definitely be in line already." As he spoke, one of the guys pointed to the long line stretching into the distance.
So, it turned out that everyone over there had no tickets.
Of course, it wasn't just those few people without tickets. Many local players, when they had free time, even if they didn't win a ticket to get into the theme park, still came over.
Since they were free anyway, coming to join the fun was a pretty good idea.
...
Compared to the players who ran over to watch the commotion outside the main entrance without tickets, the players who had entered the park were filled with surprises the whole time.
Because there were so many familiar things here.
You had to queue to enter the park, but once you were inside, there was no need to queue, and you could move around freely.
The entire park was more like a small town, and players could explore on foot. At the same time, there were different routes of electric trams every 15 minutes at various points to allow visitors to ride.
Of course, unless you were really too tired to walk, or for some other reason, most people chose to walk.
This was because at various points in the theme park, there were some very surprising spots.
"Haha, a Creeper at the entrance of this house, this is too scary!"
A tourist exclaimed excitedly at a sculpture in the Minecraft area. It was a beautifully crafted small house, but there was a Creeper right at the entrance.
Any player who had played Minecraft would instantly smile upon seeing this scene, their minds already imagining the subsequent events.
"And this Overcooked! Plates are all over the place, haha, just seeing this scene makes my blood pressure rise!"
"What the! Why is this game, Sledge, even here!"
As they moved forward, players could find something surprising in every area.
River and Johnny sitting on a wooden log, looking at the moon.
The Onion Knight sitting on the ground, holding up a wine glass, and the Sun Knight, Zack, with arms spread wide, praising the sun.
Including, when entering the main avenue area of the theme park, there was a spectacular performance.
As flower petals drifted down, the band appeared.
A Mario doll led the way, followed by a specially built stage vehicle. On the stage, 'Pauline' was holding a unique concert.
Seeing this scene before them, the players and tourists in attendance suddenly erupted in thunderous cheers, accompanying Pauline's performance.
And beyond this, the cartoon area in front was mostly for looking and taking pictures with players.
As for the middle area, players encountered some of Nebula Games' famous IPs. The rides were also different from the ones before, allowing players to truly participate.
For example, in the Monster Hunter: World area, players would act as real hunters, wearing special outfits and holding special props. At the same time, there were specially designed holographic scenes, and players could use these special props to inflict damage on giant dragons.
If there was a downside, it was that these things were a bit heavy, with the clothes and weapons combined weighing nearly seven pounds.
In the Legends of the Three Kingdoms area, players could use specially designed equipment to engage in holographic card battles.
The generals and cards from the game would be 'manifested' in the holographic projection.
Of course, besides these exciting attractions, there were also some projects in the park that made players fall silent.
These were the Resident Evil and Outlast experience points located in a more secluded corner.
Although Resident Evil and Outlast are unavoidable mentions when talking about Nebula Games, why were they presented as haunted house experiences?
Of course, the only thing that made many players feel a little better was that the number of people entering was not limited to just one person.
But even so, players who entered out of curiosity still let out all sorts of screams.
Even in the bustling amusement park, the ear-splitting screams from players at these two attraction points could still be heard from inside.
As a result, many players who had been considering trying them out since they were already there quietly turned and left.
They couldn't play, they couldn't play… I really can't play this attraction!
