    Chapter 93: The Symphony of Guns and Cannons! Trailer Released!

    Click, click, click…

    Chu Qingzhou’s high heels echoed through the silent corridor, making her presence starkly obvious.

    She didn’t dare walk fast, nor did she dare stop.

    Because she knew that at this moment, more than a dozen eyes were fixed on her from behind, silently watching her every move.

    Chu Qingzhou felt her legs trembling.

    Just a little longer, just a little longer, victory is within sight…

    She could see Miao Miao’s office just ahead and tried to calm herself down.

    But the next second.

    “Secretary Chu, in a hurry?”

    Gu Sheng’s voice came from behind.

    His tone was gentle, his attitude calm.

    But to Chu Qingzhou, it sounded like a demonic whisper, cold and chilling, like the beckoning of the Grim Reaper!

    Chu Qingzhou felt a chill run down her spine, her goosebumps rising.

    She turned, meeting those dozens of silent faces, and then looked at Gu Sheng who was slowly walking towards her.

    She forced a smile:

    “Uh… Director Gu… what a coincidence, hehe…”

    Gu Sheng smiled back, a hint of amusement in his eyes.

    He pointed at the group behind him: “We…”

    Before he could finish, Chu Qingzhou interrupted:

    “You guys are having a team building event, right? Haha, don’t worry, I won’t tell Shen that you didn’t invite her.”

    She gave Gu Sheng another smile, trying to make herself look as kind and sincere as possible.

    Whew.

    What a quick mind!

    Gu Sheng nodded, thinking to himself that Chu Da Mi, being able to climb to such a high position in Shen’s Capital and being handpicked by old Shen to become the princess’s companion in Golden Wind, truly had some skills.

    At least in terms of quick thinking in emergencies, she was top-notch.

    Gu Sheng was also a smart man. He knew that he shouldn’t probe further, so he nodded and smoothly changed the topic, lifting his phone:

    “So, Secretary Chu, will you stay for a bite?”

    “No, no, no, hehehe,”

    Chu Qingzhou also lifted her phone, a barely audible “ding” notification sound rang out:

    “I just came up to get a U-disk for Shen, I’m leaving now.”

    “Then… we won’t see you off?”

    Gu Sheng smiled in satisfaction, locking the screen displaying a QR code.

    “No need, no need, haha, I’ve already cooked dinner, I’m going home with Shen to eat…”

    She put down her phone, nodded, and then disappeared in a flash.

    With the elevator doors closing, Chu Da Mi’s figure vanished, as if she had never been there, leaving not a trace behind.

    She followed the elevator all the way to the underground parking garage.

    Closing the door and getting into the car, Chu Qingzhou handed the U-disk to Shen Miao Miao: “Here, take it, don’t lose it.”

    “Oh,”

    Shen Miao Miao nodded, carefully placed the U-disk in her purse and patted it:

    “Why were you gone so long?”

    Chu Qingzhou flinched, forcing herself to remain calm:

    “Because it wasn’t actually plugged into the computer, I found it in your drawer, you must have forgotten.”

    “Oh—“

    Shen Miao Miao thought for a moment, her memory blurry, she patted her head:

    “Maybe, otherwise I wouldn’t have forgotten to take it.”

    She didn’t dwell on it any longer, started the car, and drove towards the exit of the garage.

    But as the car left the garage, Shen Miao Miao didn’t notice that Chu Qingzhou quickly sent a message on WeChat:

    【We’ve left the danger zone, mission continues, OVER…】

    Spring gave way to autumn.

    In the blink of an eye, deep autumn had arrived.

    This day, Binjiang Garden Community, 21st floor.

    Click.

    As the door opened, Jiang Yun walked into the house, changing his shoes and saying, “I’m back—”

    Hearing the sound from outside, his wife, who was cleaning the house, came out:

    “Ya? The sun came out from the west, why are you back today…”

    Before she could finish!

    Her voice was choked in her throat.

    She saw that Jiang Yun, standing at the door, was holding a large bouquet of bright red roses in his arms, and in the other hand, he carried a sea-blue gift box.

    “Surprise!”

    Seeing his wife’s startled and delighted expression, Jiang Yun grinned and handed her the flowers:

    “Happy anniversary, wife.”

    His wife’s eyes instantly turned red.

    It seemed like it had been years since Jiang Yun had brought her a surprise.

    But this surprise, it seemed, had a reason.

    Since he joined Golden Wind, he was like a changed man.

    Not only was he energetic, even his words during their meals changed, constantly talking about his projects, how they overcame difficulties today, what they were going to discuss tomorrow, and how the presentation would look the next day, blablabla…

    Although his wife didn’t understand,

    She could see that the once dashing and charming man who made her head spin, seemed to be back.

    “You… these flowers are expensive…”

    His wife bit her lip, though her words were reproaching her husband, her face was flushed with a shy blush of surprise.

    “And this!”

    Handing the flowers to his wife, Jiang Yun placed the gift box on the table:

    “Cosmetics, it seems to be called Spicy Girl or something, I asked a colleague to buy it for you, even Chu Da Mi said it was a great brand!”

    At this point, his wife’s excitement could no longer be contained.

    Actually, she didn’t care how expensive the gifts were.

    What she cared about most was that her dashing husband was back.

    “Our project is finished, the final result is awesome, the trailer will be released tonight!”

    Jiang Yun said, opening his arms:

    “Double happiness, hug?”

    With a happy exclamation, his wife could no longer suppress her joy, she rushed into Jiang Yun’s arms:

    “I knew it! My husband is the best!”

    “Hahahahahaha…”

    Jiang Yun laughed heartily, spun his wife around in the living room, and then fell onto the sofa.

    Seeing the spring in his wife’s eyes and the twinkle in her eyes, he couldn’t help but lean in and whisper something in her ear.

    “Ya!”

    Hearing Jiang Yun’s words, his wife’s blush deepened, her face was even more vibrant than the roses, she whispered shyly and reproachfully:

    “It’s only 5:30, we haven’t eaten yet…”

    Then, Jiang Yun gave a mischievous smile:

    “…Since the kids are at their grandma’s today, let’s go out and eat later, have a good time with just the two of us, but now…”

    He spoke, and his wife let out a soft cry as he scooped her into his arms, raising an eyebrow:

    “…Let’s eat you first!”

    “I’m finished,”

    Liu Pei Qia put down his chopsticks, skillfully pulled the curtains next to him and wiped his mouth, looked at the time:

    “DNM just right, ao! It’s almost 8 o’clock, you tell me if my Timing is not on point! You learn from me!”

    He saw that the barrage was exploding!

    ‘I can’t live without seeing Qia Ge wipe his mouth with the curtains every day’

    ‘Curtains: I knew I should have stayed in the rotten factory’

    ‘The key is now Yaya Jie also wipes her mouth with the curtains’

    ‘It’s like two people sleeping in the same bed but can’t get along’

    ‘How can time pass so slowly, there’s still a minute, I’m going to die without seeing the PUBG trailer’

    ‘Five months! Do you know how I’ve spent these five months!?’

    ‘Sheng Zi Ge knows how to tease, he talked about the framework at the opening ceremony, then released concept drawings every now and then, just to keep everyone guessing’

    ‘Old渣男了’

    ‘Damn, just thinking about having to wait another week after the trailer to play the game makes me uneasy’

    ‘……’

    Not bad!

    Today was the deadline for all the game productions for the Asian Competition Association, the 25 games participating in the conference would simultaneously release their trailers.

    After a week of fermenting and promotion, next week at this time, all the games would be released simultaneously, competing for the qualification to go to the Bird’s Nest to participate in the esports tournament.

    And among them!

    Without a doubt, PUBG was the focus of all the games.

    After all, the “Battle Royale” gameplay that Gu Sheng proposed at the opening ceremony was too novel!

    Everyone wanted to see how this game would perform, whether it could truly realize what Gu Sheng had said at the opening ceremony.

    And as the live stream chat buzzed with excitement,

    It was 8 o’clock sharp.

    Click.

    茄子 had been staring at the clock.

    As soon as it was 8 o’clock, he refreshed the page!

    In an instant, the Asian Competition Association’s website, the words “敬请期待” (please look forward to it) disappeared.

    In their place were the trailers of the various participating companies, arranged in a staggered and colorful way!

    At the top was 《绝地求生》 (PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds)!

    This was one of the benefits of winning the “Most Anticipated Game Award”.

    “It’s here, it’s here, it’s here…”

    茄子 rubbed his hands excitedly, amidst the barrage of催促声 (urging) from the chat, he clicked on the trailer—

    Boom!

    A heavy drumbeat echoed.

    【Golden Wind Games Presents】

    Boom!

    Another heavy drumbeat, accompanied by the roar of an engine, echoed.

    【Director: Gu Sheng】

    Boom!

    【PLAYERUNKNOWN’S BATTLEGROUNDS】

    With the final drumbeat,

    The sound of rushing air, accompanied by a man’s rough shout, suddenly rang in our ears!

    “Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump down! Damn it, hurry up!!!”

    From a first-person perspective, the protagonist opened his eyes.

    He found himself in the cargo hold of a transport plane.

    The men and women in front of him were all wearing matching tank tops and shorts, with parachute packs on their backs.

    Looking down, he saw that his hands were handcuffed with a pair of black iron shackles.

    Hoo – hoo – hoo –

    His nervous breathing became more and more rapid.

    Click.

    A burly man in a warden’s uniform opened the shackles on his hands.

    He looked at the 10,000-meter high altitude below, and then at the warden with a ferocious face, his breathing became more rapid, he shook his head, about to plead!

    Thump!

    The warden, without saying a word, kicked him in the stomach!

    Whoosh—!!!

    Instantly!

    The world spun around him!

    The rapid descent of his body was almost suffocating, he was thrown out of the plane, surrounded by prisoners, one after another.

    They pierced through the clouds, through turbulence, their bodies plummeting down, and below, lay a vast island!

    Whoosh!

    As the parachute opened, 茄子 let out a cry!

    “Wo—de—fa—!!!”

    What the—this entry method?!

    Parachuting?!

    茄子 was incredulous, his face full of shock.

    The barrage was even more chaotic:

    ‘Holy crap!!! Parachuting!!!’

    ‘Is this the trailer effect, or does the actual game do this too?’

    ‘It’s probably just the trailer, if it was actually parachuting in the sensory pod, wouldn’t we be dead from excitement?’

    ‘It’s hard to say for other companies, but Golden Wind might really do it!’

    ‘Huh? Really? Woc, it starts with parachuting? I can’t even imagine…’

    ‘I petition to have the parachuting implemented in the actual game!’

    ‘Count me in! I can jump a hundred times a day!’

    ‘You said it, so it’s settled…’

    ‘……’

    Thump!

    A landing sound interrupted the viewers’ discussion.

    The impact of the landing made his knees ache.

    But the protagonist didn’t have time to groan.

    Because at the same time, a man nearby also stood up.

    After a brief hesitation, a roar erupted!

    The man across from him, like a mad dog, swung his fist at him!

    Buzz—

    The fist whipped past his ear, he instinctively dodged the punch, and without hesitation, stepped forward, slamming his fist into the man’s face!

    Bang!

    Blood splattered!

    The blood droplets flew in the air, twisting and turning, becoming a bullet, piercing through a woman’s head in the house district.

    The woman fell, behind her, a bloody flower bloomed on the wall, blood trickled down from the single-hole stamen.

    The crimson blood droplets gradually changed color, turning into a round grenade, landing at the feet of a man with a crew cut, blowing him to bits.

    The blood mist boiled, drifting out the window, sweeping over the chaotic urban area below—

    Here, gunshots rang out, one after another.

    There were bodies falling from the buildings, blood splattering from the windows, smoke grenades rolling out the door, and even a raging fire!

    The grand symphony of carnage was played, blood and bullets intertwined, performing a cruel and bloody opera.

    In the end!

    When everything fell silent.

    The perspective returned to the protagonist, covered in blood and scars.

    He was now fully armed.

    Wearing a white shirt, blue jeans, with a thick bulletproof vest, and a camouflage helmet on his head.

    He slung the long and short guns on his back, and tucked the pistol into his belt.

    His breathing finally calmed down a little.

    Sizzle—click!

    He opened a can of energy drink, chugged it down.

    He got on his motorcycle, kicked the engine—

    Buzz!!!

    The roar of the engine echoed, in response to the roar of the bomber that slowly rose from the sky behind him.

    The rolling explosions spread behind him.

    But he no longer had the panic he had when he first landed.

    Rumble rumble rumble—!!!

    As the carpet bombing of the bomber rolled in.

    He turned the handlebars.

    Buzz—!

    Amidst the rolling explosions, the fully armed man rushed out of the flames.

    And the game’s title appeared again on the screen—

    【PLAYERUNKNOWN’S BATTLEGROUNDS】

    Whoa—!!!

    The end of the trailer sent the barrage in the live stream into a frenzy!

    Parachuting! Slaughter! The symphony of guns and cannons! Blood and fire intertwined! The brutal game of life and death!

    A brutal sport where only the best survive, at this moment, was so exhilarating!

    Without a doubt.

    The appearance of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds had completely subverted the world’s players’ existing understanding of competitive shooting games!

    It was like the bomber at the end of the trailer, with an unstoppable force, it was an indiscriminate firestorm against the world’s competitive FPS market!

    The live stream chat was exploding!

    The viewers were going crazy—

    ——

    PS: My six-month-old baby has been running a fever and just got back from the hospital, the update is late, please forgive me!

    I recommend a friend’s book “人在仙侠,讲人闲话就变强 (Living in Xianxia, Getting Stronger by Talking)” a lighthearted and silly novel, if you’re interested, you can check it out!
