11: Chapter 011 Simulated Battlefield

After watching Old Hei's livestream for a while, Zhang Yida frowned slightly.

"This game really looks incredibly realistic."

"And it's especially bloody."

"Not to mention anything else, the visual impact is genuinely strong."

He wondered in his heart, could the creators of this game be trying to make players loathe war by using realistic and cruel war scenes?

If that were the case, they could do it too.

After all, it wasn't something very difficult to achieve.

It was just that, for a long time, such ultra-realistic visuals were something most game developers avoided talking about.

Because game visuals that are too realistic require too many details to be polished.

Polishing details means increasing costs and increasing production time.

Moreover, the more realistic the visuals, the higher the players' demands.

They become increasingly nitpicky.

Generally, few people are willing to do such thankless work.

Not to mention that particularly realistic and bloody visuals would definitely drive away quite a few people who are easily frightened.

Furthermore, it has nothing to do with minors.

One must know that there are quite a lot of minors in China.

Zhang Yida felt that if one wanted to win first place in the Anti-War Competition, the minor demographic definitely had to be considered.

The original game that their Yiteng Group was heavily betting on had taken minors into account.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little contempt for this game.

Although this game tells a story well, its gameplay is not very good.

Being this hardcore, how many players would be able to keep playing?

Subsequently, Zhang Yida continued to search for other streamers broadcasting eastern meat grinder.

Soon, he arrived at Zhou Xiaoyi's livestream room.

The reason he stopped was that Zhou Xiaoyi was livestreaming the online version of the Bazi Bridge battle.

After more than an hour of matchmaking, Zhou Xiaoyi finally saw that the matchmaking count at the bottom had reached 100.

Immediately after, the text indicating a successful match appeared on the screen.

Her vision went black, and Zhou Xiaoyi arrived at the scene of the Bazi Bridge battle once again.

Opening her eyes, Zhou Xiaoyi discovered a dark-skinned, burly man staring at her, and he was very close.

"Holy crap, who are you?" Zhou Xiaoyi was given a big fright.

"Are you a player?" the dark-skinned man asked.

Hearing this, Zhou Xiaoyi looked surprised. "You are too? Who are you?"

"I am Wang Ye."

"Wang Ye? I'm Zhou Xiaoyi. Why are you so dark?"

Seeing Zhou Xiaoyi in front of him, who looked like a pretty boy, Wang Ye's expression was a bit strange.

He knew Zhou Xiaoyi, and comparing this face with Zhou Xiaoyi's actual face, a strong sense of contrast arose spontaneously.

"My character is randomized; whether I'm dark or not isn't up to me, right? By the way, I seem to be a Squad Leader." Wang Ye patted the military rank on his arm.

As a veteran game streamer, he had also been watching others' livestreams while matchmaking.

He then noticed in detail that the military rank system of the army in this game didn't seem to be the same as their modern one.

After combining the livestreams of various streamers, he had collected information about these military ranks.

"Then what about me?"

Zhou Xiaoyi subconsciously glanced at the military rank on her shoulder.

Wang Ye glanced at it and said indifferently, "Don't look. You're just a private."

Hearing this, Zhou Xiaoyi's face immediately fell.

"Why am I a private every single time?"

Inside Zhou Xiaoyi's livestream room, fans saw that Zhou Xiaoyi had actually run into Wang Ye and immediately started discussing it.

"Sister Yi, you're so lucky to have run into Brother Wang."

"With Brother Wang leading, Sister Yi, can you break the 17-minute mark?"

"Streamer, please don't drag Brother Wang down. Try to die as late as possible."

Seeing that the audience in the livestream room was questioning her strength, Zhou Xiaoyi immediately got angry.

"Don't belittle me like that. The previous time was just an accident, okay?"

Zhou Xiaoyi wailed in her heart; this was the dark history of a lifetime.

Wang Ye couldn't hear the conversation between Zhou Xiaoyi and her livestream room audience, but he could see the comments in his own livestream room.

"Brother Wang, take our Sister Yi to the next level; she's having such a hard time."

"This is a possibility. Although Sister Yi is bad at the game, she's pretty. Brother Wang, you have to seize the opportunity."

"You have to abduct her to be our sister-in-law Wang."

Seeing these comments, Wang Ye's mouth twitched.

Before he could answer them, at this moment, gunshots and artillery fire were heard from a distance.

The battle had begun.

At this time, an officer wearing an officer's uniform ran over.

"Wang Daye, what are you still doing hanging around here? Hurry up and lead your squad to follow."

Seeing the military rank on the officer's arm, Wang Ye immediately stood at attention and shouted, "Yes, Platoon Leader."

Subsequently, he looked at Zhou Xiaoyi and waved his hand, signaling her to follow.

Zhou Xiaoyi gripped the rifle in her hand tightly and followed behind Wang Ye.

"We need to gather the players now, otherwise fighting on our own won't work." Wang Ye said while running with Zhou Xiaoyi.

"How can we gather them? We players are mixed in with the NPCs; we can't tell them apart at all." Zhou Xiaoyi asked.

"It's very easy. Look at that dazed one over there; he must be a player." Wang Ye pointed at a soldier leaning against a corner in the distance, looking around.

As he said this, Wang Ye waved at that person, signaling him to come over.

After that person came over, Wang Ye smiled and asked, "Are you a player?"

Hearing this, the man's eyes lit up immediately.

"Holy crap, yes, I am. I've finally found my own kind."

"I'm Wang Ye, what's your name?"

"I'm Qian Lei, a streamer on Douya." Qian Lei said excitedly.

Subsequently, he looked at Zhou Xiaoyi and said, "Are you also a player?"

Zhou Xiaoyi nodded.

Then she looked at Wang Ye with a puzzled expression.

"How did you tell?"

"It's very simple. Look at their behavior, look at their eyes. The eyes of NPCs are different from players; their eyes look very determined." Wang Ye explained.

"Then what about the players?"

"Uh, eyes full of wisdom."

Wang Ye couldn't put into words what that feeling was, but he could clearly feel the difference between players and NPCs.

"Also, the behavior of NPCs is like they have a goal; only us players would be wandering around not knowing what to do."

After hearing this, Zhou Xiaoyi understood immediately.

"I see. Then let's go find players now."

"No, we can't run around randomly. The NPCs over there are watching us." Wang Ye shook his head.

He had been paying attention to the situation of the surrounding NPCs all along.

He discovered that these NPCs seemed to have intelligence.

They were not the kind of NPCs that only had fixed dialogue.

Instead, they were independent individuals just like people.

At this moment, a young soldier ran up in front of him.

Wang Ye was stunned for a moment, and then he heard the soldier speak.

"Squad Leader, Zhou Yide, why did you run over here? The brothers are all waiting for you."

Wang Ye wanted to say something, but suddenly remembered that he didn't seem to know this soldier's name.

At this moment, a panel suddenly appeared before his eyes.
