032. Interview Program
The time of Demon God's hologram release was getting closer and nearer. The game company's official news group had invited a few players on the top list to have a voice talk show, with the game's promotional video released after.
Fire Ruthless was of course among the invited guests. In addition to him, the officials also invited the second ranked in First Server "Dead Water"; the Second Server's first ranked "Copenhagen Dazs"; the Third Server's first ranked "Human Faced Devil" and second ranked "A Thousand Sails"; and finally the recognized beauty and strong player in the whole game, "Flower Yiyi".
This interview, He Jin also listened to it.
After the sweet voice of the interview's hostess finished introductioning those well-known players, the screen was immediately almost completely covered by the audience's comments... He Jin adjusted the number of comments to only show a total of five percent, then continued to listen.
The host went on to ask, "Ever since Demon God announced their intent to turn holographic, the game company has always been extremely secretive about the holographic details. In fact, this interview program, is also done because the officials want to further reveal the changes after the holographic version through the several Great Gods here. So Great Gods, do you have any questions and conjecture about Demon God's holographic version?"
The first to talk was Dead Water: "I heard that later players over level 50 will be able to play together in Demon God's realm? So all of us can meet in the game?"
Host: "Yes, later, the players above level 50 will enter a three-zone merged server."
Copenhagen Dazs: "Wow! Then I have to try it!"
The man's voice sounded very young, and it felt like an energetic youth.
Human Faced Devil: "Will the ranking list from the three servers be merged?"
Host: "Yes, at present the game officials have complied a comprehensive list of all the Great Gods in the game, the combined list will be based on this data to decide the overall rank."
As the host said this, at the same time the video on the screen switched over to a picture of the official comprehensive list. Fire Ruthless was still high in first place, but instead of Dead Water, the second place was occupied by Copenhagen Dazs, with Human Faced Devil in third, followed by Dead Water and A Thousand Sails next.
The sound of A Thousand Sails's voice was quite soft as he asked: "I am more curious about the holographic aspect, will our current character image change?"
Copenhagen Dazx also asked: "Yes, now there are so many players in the game playing as opposite genders of their real ones, what about them?"
The host smiled: "In the holographic version, along with keeping the prototype form of Spirit Pets, the game company will also offer a chance to all players to change their character image during their first landing using the helmet. You can still keep your original image, just take note that the helmet will adjust the facial features of the character according to the player's expression in real life. So, even if a male player uses a female character, his appearance will stay as a girl in the game, he will not be forced to change it. However, the character's expression will be associated with reality; if this person has a very wretched expression in reality, then in the game his character's expression will also become very wretched."
Copenhagen: "No way..."
On the screen, there were a few comments such as: "good change"; "hahaha"; "Suddenly want to change my character's gender"...
On the other hand, He Jin let out a relieved sigh after hearing this explanation.
Fire Ruthless asked: "Players who play as Spiritual Pet will also be able to keep their prototype image?"
"Yes, they'll keep their prototype image, " At that moment the video screen showed an image of a rabbit spiritual pet, the host continued, "take this rabbit prototype as an example, once the player goes into the game after wearing the helmet, their line of sight will be adjusted to the rabbit's height and body size. Of course, just like people can't see the back of their own head, the players also will not be able to see their own rabbit appearance, only their visual experience will be adjusted to those of a rabbit."
Hearing this, the crowd burst into an uproar, the screen was filled with a series of "No way"; "hahaha"; "mindblown ah"; "really want to play..."
He Jin was also stunned; does it mean, his visual experience later... will be like a ferret? (= _ =)
Fire Ruthless asked again: "In the holographic version, how will the players communicate? Does the text dialog function still exist?"
Host: "At present, the current voice function in Demon God will be continued to the holographic version, but instead of talking to the microphone, the player doesn't need to speak to the helmet to talk. The helmet will directly read our brain waves, and translate what you want to say into a voice in the game world... This way, even if you play the game in some noisy places, you don't have to be afraid that those noises will also be transmitted to the game; and with this function, players with a speaking disability will also be able to experience the feeling of speaking in the game. As for the text dialogue function, you can go to the game to find out."
Comments: "Wow ah.."; "It's cool!" ; "I'm going to book the helmet!!!"; "Well I'm looking forward to it ah Ah!"
Flower Yiyi asked: "Then, will the voice in the game still be our real voices?"
Host: "For players who want to play with their own voices, you can put on the helmet and adjust it at the initial settings, The helmet will prompt the player to read a few words to calibrate the accent and tone of your voice. But, if you don't want to use your own voice, you can calibrate only the accent, and choose a different tone. For example, if a male player wants to play a girl character, he can adjust the voice's tone of his character to a female's tone. Along with that, there is also an option to change the voice to fit your prefered age... Do you want to change your image or your voice?"
Copenhagen Dazs: "I think my voice and image are very good, I won't change."
Host:" Copenhagen Dazs, does it mean that you are very confident in your real appearance?"
Copenhagen Dazs: "Of course."
The crowd began booing, the host changed the topic: "Beautiful Yiyi, today you rarely talk ah, then will you also use your real image to play? I think you're going to be very popular!"
Flower Yiyi smiled: "The host is joking, I actually hope girls who are avarage in reality can be beautiful in the game, so that people will not only focus on my appearance."
The host said in a regretable voice: "Originally Yiyi doesn't want to be given special treatment AH!"
Flowere Yiyi: "Yes, I am a player who values strength!"
The comments: "Ah Goddess!!"; "The Flower Yiyi is so wonderful..."; "Yiyi marry Me!!!"
After this dialogue, the host turned back to Fire Ruthless: "Ruthless Great God? As the most famous player of all Gods, are you looking forward to the holographic version?... By the way, I'm a fan too."
The comments: "Ah ah husband!"; "My husband marry me!"; "Husband ~ Please divorce!"; "Hate Xiao Xian-Jin!"......
He Jin: "..." Why every time Fire Ruthless appears, the atmosphere becomes so strange? (￣_￣###)
The guests laughed, after all Qin Yu had done live broadcasts for two years and already used to this kind of interviews and questions, so he was quite relaxed: "Thank you. Of course, I'm looking forward to it. Demon God is a game which has accompanied me growing up, so I also want to continue to accompany it in its growth."
The host asked: "Demon God game will enter a new era with this holographic version, do you still have confidence to sit on the first place throne?"
Fire Ruthless: "Of corse I have self-confidence, but I can't only rely on that self-confidence, this matter depends on our skills and ability to adjust."
The host continued to ask: "Then who do you think is the most likely to become your opponent in the holographic version? Copenhagen?"
Copenhagen Dazs: "It goes without saying, it must be me."
Fire Ruthless: "Oh, no."
Copenhagen Dazs exclaimed: "Fuck you! You have lost to me!" He is refering to the time that Fire Ruthless surrended after his wife came online.
Fire Ruthless: "Oh, you can count that as your win."
Copenhagen Dazs: "..."Why does this man feel so despicable when he talks?
The crowd laughed and the host was excited: "So, is it Dead Water?"
Fire Ruthless: "Not him either."
Dead Water: "We are not rivals, we are friends."
"Ah ~" The host exclaimed, then smiled: "Your CP feeling is really strong!"
Dead Water joked: "Is it? What do you think, should I change my name to 'Dead Water Deep Love'?"
Moderator: "Pffft..."
The comments' atmosphere changed again- "Ah ah ah oh ah, blatantly selling rot!"; "Ah ah ah ah ah no integrity ah ah I like AH Ah!!!"; "Ship Dead Water and Fire Ruthless! Ship Dead Water and Fire Ruthless! Push the shiiipp..."; "I have blocked 100 cucumbers, they have robbed our boys love"; "Xiao Xian-Jin is just a beard! It's just a cover for his real relationship!"
Looking at those exclamations, from across the screen He Jin could almost feel their scary nature...
The host lightly coughed, adjusted her appearance back to a good host, then continued solemnly: "if Copenhagen Dazs and Dead Water are not the enemy, then it is among Human Faced Devil and A Thousand Sails?"
Fire Ruthless: "Neither."
Host: "Do you mean you don't have these Great Gods in your sight?"
Fire Ruthless: "You have said it before, the holographic version will be the start of a new era. Taking Dead Water as example, his hand movement speed is very fast, completely comparable with me; if this is still a keyboard-based game, then I really will treat him as an enemy, even though I'm pressing him now in the list, hehe...
Everyone: "..."
Fire Ruthless: "But since it will no longer be keyboard-based game, having speedy hand movements will not become an advantage, so everything is inconclusive. I think there should be a lot of newcomers later, and I am looking forward to seeing them."
Host: "Ah, so that's why... Fire Ruthless really is worthy of his title as the First Great God, his analysis is very correct. In fact, I have a very important message here to announce..."
