VCRMM: Chapter 395

Paul’s excitement didn’t last long.

After the game was over, the arena closed the map and teleported the map away after one minute. This meant players couldn’t stay longer than that.

What’s more, this was just their projection. The two players being questioned by Paul couldn’t see him at all.

Soon, the countdown ended and their figures disappeared.

Paul watched the projection disappear and felt lost. Who hadn’t dreamed of becoming a magician when they were little? He would rather think of himself as a Muggle than believe there was no magic in the world.

Today, this dream unexpectedly came true. It also happened in China. It was incredible!

Paul was still in a daze when the staff member came over and kicked him off the stage. The second game was about to start. If he continued to stay there, he would disrupt the order of the game.

The tall and thin foreigner holding a camera went off stage obediently, but started to pester the staff member again.

“Uncle, that is magic, right? What I just saw was a magician. Definitely!”

Paul was very firm, but the staff member just rolled his eyes.

He couldn’t understand foreign languages, but many foreigners who came here before had similar reactions. Perhaps they were suffering from the chuunibyou disease and insisted that these weren’t projections, but magic.

The staff member was very experienced when facing such nonsense. They pointed in the direction of the experience store and said, “Starry Sky Age, the magic is there. The door to the magic world is open to you.”

“Go ahead, young man. I’m optimistic about you!”

After saying this, he didn’t care if Paul understood or not. He directly pushed Paul toward the experience store and started his busy work again.

“What did he just say? Can anyone translate it for me?” Paul asked the barrage for help.

He actually brought a translator device with him, but the man spoke too fast and his translator couldn’t respond. It only roughly translated some words like ‘magic world’ and ‘go quickly.’

The barrage of comments in Paul’s live broadcast room had been filling up the screen as early as when he started filming the game projection.

[Is this a projection? It must be fake!]

[The special effects are well done. What movie is this?]

[I suspect Paul is playing us.]

[This is clearly a duel between two real people… but what is with the magic they cast? It should be advanced special effects, right? Is China’s special effects technology so advanced?]

It wasn’t until Paul was allowed to go on stage and his hand went straight through the projection that the audience watching the live broadcast finally believed this was really a projection.

Looking at Paul’s excited expression, it must be known that what he saw on the scene was more realistic. Couldn’t they see that Paul was stunned? The Chinese people around him were looking at him like he was a fool!

[I kind of want to go and see it.]

[Yes, even if it is just a projection, the effect is very immersive. Their duel looks very interesting!]

[I saw some words on the sign next to it, saying Starry Sky Cup e-sports competition. Who can tell me when e-sports became a real person battle?]

The barrage was discussing what Paul had filmed. Of course, there were still a lot of doubts and conspiracy theories, but they weren’t as one-sided as before.

Once Paul asked for help in the barrage, a kind-hearted Chinese audience member posted the foreign translation of the staff member’s words.

To be honest, the staff member was very perfunctory and what he said was very childish. But to Paul, he inexplicably felt excited and thrilled.

“Brothers, I’m about to explore the world of magic! I’m so excited. I’m looking forward to Starry Sky Age now!”

Reason told Paul that it was a projection of the game world, and that was also the explanation given by the staff member. However, his heart that yearned for adventure couldn’t help having doubts.

Was this really not the work of the magic world hiding its identity? When did China’s technology become so advanced?

Paul happily ran back to the experience store to line up. His expectations for Starry Sky Age were completely maxed out at this moment, completely surpassing his love for Hegemony, the first virtual holographic online game he had ever played.

Of course, he still kept his rationality. After all, he didn’t forget he was doing a live review.

“I’m back in line now. To be honest, I’m very excited and want to go into Starry Sky Age. With such amazing projection technology, the virtual reality technology shouldn’t be any worse, right?”

Paul forced himself to calm down as he said, “Of course, it isn’t ruled out that just the projection technology is good. We will know how the game is after playing it.”

In the barrage, fans of Hegemony immediately supported it.

[That’s right. The most important thing is whether the game is fun or not. Projection technology can’t explain anything at all.]

[What is the most important thing about virtual reality games? Of course, it is the realism! In any case, I don’t believe that China can make any good games. If they have such technology, they would definitely use it in other places, not a game.]

[If Starry Sky Age is really that awesome and can achieve 99% realism, I will eat my keyboard during a live broadcast!]

The comments in the live broadcast room were forwarded to the post on the forum in real time, and the number of comments kept rising.

Latest reply: [Everyone, come and take a look. Someone is starting to cheat again!]

The attached photo showed a barrage comment about eating a keyboard during a live broadcast. The person who posted it was a blogger who was somewhat famous on the Internet. Players immediately saved the photo as evidence, waiting to settle accounts later.

At the same time, they were still very worried about Paul’s inability to broadcast live.

They had learned from multiple sources (harassed multiple customer service representatives) that Starry Sky Age could only be recorded using the built-in camera and broadcast live in the live broadcast of the forum.

So the question was—

How many of Paul’s fans were willing to climb over the firewall and come to the forum to watch Paul’s live broadcast?

Of course, there was no need to guess the problem. In the early days of the game, many big streamers switched from other platforms and it took them some time to gradually attract audience members.

That was just a simple change of platform. Now that it was so troublesome for foreigners… They didn’t dare to underestimate human laziness.

How could this be possible? If they couldn’t slap the arrogant foreign game fans in the face, wouldn’t the fun be cut in half?

So the players started to work together to send representatives to remind Paul in his live broadcast room.

Paul was waiting in line. Out of boredom, he interacted more with the barrage. The reminders interspersed in them immediately caught his attention.

Yes, he almost forgot about this problem. Virtual game live broadcasting was different from ordinary game live broadcasting. It was just that Hegemony cooperated with his platform, so he hadn’t encountered any problems when he was evaluating it.

Despite this, it took him a lot of effort to set it up successfully.

Paul didn’t check on the Internet but went directly to the experience store to ask the staff member. He learned that it could only be broadcast live on the Star Forum and not on other platforms.

He asked several times without giving up, but got the same answer every time. He could only helplessly talk to the audience.

“It seems that the live broadcast can’t be done this time. I will record the video in the game later and release it after editing it.

Complaints were heard everywhere in the barrage.

[This is too inhumane.]

[I just said that China is xenophobic. I have been to the Starry Sky Age forum. It is all in Chinese and I can’t understand it at all.]

[But I want to watch the live broadcast right away and don’t want to wait any longer. It is so uncomfortable to be stuck in this state!]

[Brother, please stay! You can’t broadcast Starry Sky Age live on this platform, but you can broadcast it in the live broadcast room of the forum!]

Paul was stunned when he saw the last comment.

The live broadcast room of the Star Forum? It was a bit confusing, but it seemed to be possible?

He thought about it before contacting his Chinese friend and asking him to help register a live broadcast account on the forum.

Later, he contacted his younger brother who was far away in his hometown and asked him to help log into his live broadcast account. Then open the corresponding live broadcast room of the forum on his computer.

On this side, he greeted the audience and went offline again. He logged into the Star Forum’s live broadcast account and used the split screen to watch the situation of both sides at any time.

This would perfectly solve the problem of needing to change platforms!

“Man, you are all geniuses!”

Paul said excitedly before exploring the forum.

Just like what was said in the barrage, the posts in the forum were all in Chinese. He couldn’t understand at all, but he had to admit that the pictures and videos were very beautiful.

If it wasn’t marked as a game production, and there were many videos like this, he really would’ve thought they were screenshots from some big-budget movie.

“Oh, I like His Majesty Roland. His modeling is so beautiful!” Paul accidentally opened the NPC popularity list and started to read it with relish.

When clicking on a name on the list, the corresponding featured post appeared.

“Wow, he is actually a couple with this Si Sheng!” Paul looked at the high-definition screenshots and videos in the post and felt like he had opened the door to a new world.

[Wow, they are so beautiful.]

[This aesthetic is amazing. I like it so much.]

[There is actually a gay couple in a Chinese game? This is different from what I thought!]

[Ahhh, I can’t take it any longer. Just by looking at the pictures, I can already imagine a luxury version. I have to write it down right away.]

???

Now, the CP fans who came to watch could no longer sit still. They knew very well how fierce foreign girls were, so they all stretched out their evil hands.

[Sister upstairs, can we talk?]

[I want to see it too.]

The tone of the comments suddenly shifted in a direction that Paul didn’t expect. He wasn’t afraid of the live broadcast room being blocked, but tried hard to change the topic back.

After all, he was a game review streamer, not a CP fan leader of virtual characters!

Thanks to the company of cheerful comments, Paul’s queue wasn’t boring at all. It was his turn before he knew it.

Since the production capacity of game warehouses had increased, every branch of the Starry Sky Age experience store was now equipped with more than five experience cabins. The branches located in the capital had ten.

It was a pity that Paul had nothing to do with these ten machines.

After paying at the front desk, he followed the instructions and went to a small cubicle on the third floor.

There was no restriction on taking photos here. He walked into his small cubicle, locked it and sat down. He felt the fresh air and soft seat. He found that the service of the experience store was quite good.

However, the most important thing was the quality of the game!

Thinking of this, Paul picked up the gaming helmet on the cabinet. After waiting in line for three or four hours, he finally got the Starry Sky Age gaming equipment and started his game review.
