Superstars of Tomorrow

When he left from the Flamingo R\u0026D department, it was getting late, and Fang Zhao went back to the hotel to rest. The excitement on the Internet did not affect Fang Zhao, but the people he met on the road looked at him with Curious and scrutinized, some people asked him if he really had a gangster family background.

The rumors on the Internet, from the gangsters in the black street at the beginning, to the illegitimate son of the gangster boss, to the history of the family gangsters, to guessing whether there was a life in Fang Zhao's hands, there will always be people who like to speculate with malicious intent in the world, not to mention, this The pushers behind him wanted to pour more black water on Fang Zhao. It would be best to take this opportunity to squeeze Fang Zhao out of the circle. Even if he couldn't get out, it would still have some impact on his reputation and popularity. After all, Fang Zhao This name is too popular in the game circle.

This year's annual meeting, he almost stole the limelight, just look at the topics discussed in the famous game forums. Various topics about Fang Zhao, whether it was technical posts or gossip posts, accounted for more than half of the total topics!

There are a lot of popular people, that's for sure. Reasonable fans are waiting anxiously, hot-tempered fans are arguing online, and those who support Fang Zhao and those who hate Fang Zhao have never stopped arguing. The Silver Wing official did not make a clear statement, but only said that please wait, and the church will give you an explanation tomorrow.

A group of people finally waited until the third day of the Flamingo annual meeting. Game fans from all over the world, no matter what time zone they were in, stood in front of the screen, especially those fans who planned to bid for their idols. Funds are squatting.

On this day, the most concerned person was naturally Fang Zhao. The Silver Wing official said that Fang Zhao will give an explanation today, and the media are also gearing up, waiting for Fang Zhao to release some more news so that they can make follow-up arrangements.

It was also the auditorium on the day of the awards ceremony.

As in previous years, the first auction must be Flamingo's own things. Flamingo fans around the world are waiting in front of the screen. OK.

Many people wonder whether Flamingo will directly auction off a 10th generation machine this year. Game fans who were not among the first batch of 100 users and have some assets are waiting to grab it.

However, what Flamingo released was a first-generation machine, the first generation of Flamingo-"Venus".

"A hundred years ago, we, Flamingo, got involved in games. Ninety years ago, the first generation of Flamingo game consoles was born, named 'Venus'..."

On the stage, Tang Can spoke emotionally about the development history of the Flamingo game and game consoles.

For gamers, the collectible value of a game console depends on who has used it.

For example, the fifth-generation Flamingo used by an e-sports guru fifty years ago fetched a high price when it was auctioned two years ago, double the price when the collector bought it.

And another kind that can attract game fans and fetch high prices is feelings.

Obviously, there is no tenth-generation machine, but the sentimental meaning of the first-generation machine is quite strong, especially some game fans over a hundred years old, who have a deep affection for the first-generation machine.

When the first-generation machine was auctioned, the chairman, major shareholder, and several company executives of Flamingo helped out. The first-generation machine had an engraving on it, which was the inscription of the previous chairman of Flamingo——

"Don't forget the original intention, forge ahead."

Seeing the enlarged line of lettering on the screen, Fang Zhao asked Qin Jiulou next to him: "What is the 'initial heart' of the flamingo?"

As an old player in the mixed game industry for some years, Qin Jiulou was really caught by the question. After thinking about it, he said: "Maybe it is to make the company bigger and better, and then produce the best game consoles and games?"

In the end, this first-generation machine was bought by an entrepreneur in his thirties at a high price of 60 million.

Tenth-generation smartphones had already been fired to 60 million before the opening of "Battle of the Century", and 80 million on the third day after the game opened, and now they are rushing to exceed 100 million.

The first-generation machine is naturally far inferior to the tenth-generation machine, but the cost and technical content of the first-generation machine are there, and it is not easy to be able to shoot such a high price.

The chips and various parts used in the first-generation game consoles have already been discontinued. The former gamers have already thrown away the game consoles in the past, and many of the first-generation games have already been recycled as garbage.

Even if there are preserved ones, not every first-generation machine can fetch this price. Collecting such a machine requires careful maintenance, which takes time and effort, and the cost of maintenance is not low. Most people will not be willing to put in this effort.

Besides, this first-generation machine is engraved with the inscription of the deceased old chairman, which is not comparable to other first-generation machines. Maybe in a few decades, as long as this machine is well maintained, the price may reach a new high if it is resold.

After the auction of the first-generation machine, the commentators gradually calmed down, and they waited for the second highly anticipated person to come on stage today.

Fang Zhao walked onto the stage wearing the formal suit that Silver Wing had prepared for him, not the uniform of the Silver Light team. Seeing this situation, many people were convinced. Sure enough, Fang Zhao's auction item was his team uniform.

No surprises, expected.

When the team uniform was taken out, not many people showed surprise.

In fact, it was Silver Wing's decision to put the team uniforms up for auction after a long time of consideration. At the beginning, Wayne planned to suggest that Fang Zhao come up with some alternative things that would attract more attention, such as music scores, manuscripts, etc., but After thinking about it again, I felt wrong.

Although Fang Zhao is very popular now, he is just a newcomer no matter in the game circle or in the composition circle. I won't talk about the game circle, but mainly in the composition circle, which may attract many veteran composers. family dissatisfaction.

Conservative academics may feel that this behavior is disrespectful to the work. Auctioning scores in the game circle? Can those gamers understand the score?

cannot. There are too few gamers with a professional background. For most gamers, the music score is at the same level as Oracle, and they are all the same in front of them anyway-incomprehensible.

And for some sensitive composers, they will think: If you take it out and bid a high price, do you want to prove that you are better than others? Can artistic attainment be measured simply by auction value?

It's not in the same circle, and there is no accumulation of qualifications. From the perspective of a newcomer, Wei En finally suggested that Fang Zhao, like everyone else, put his own clothes up for auction. This is definitely not wrong.

Someone noticed that there was a badge on the chest of the coat that Fang Zhao took out, which was the captain's badge. Looking at the close-up on the big screen, besides the tree-shaped team logo, Fang Zhao's name was also engraved on the badge.

During the live broadcast of the opening exchange match yesterday, Fang Zhao wore this badge in front of the public for the first time, but the camera didn't take a close-up at that time.

"Do you get a badge if you shoot the team uniform?" Some people commented on the Internet.

"Hasn't this happened before?"

"In the past, only team uniforms were auctioned, not badges."

While everyone was discussing, Fang Zhao, who was standing on the stage, spoke up.

"I received a call from my great-grandfather yesterday. The old man was very angry when he saw the rumors on the Internet."

As soon as Fang Zhao mentioned "Great-Grandfather", someone pricked up their ears, wanting to know who Fang Zhao's great-grandfather was, and was he from the rumored gangster?

As if he knew everyone's thoughts, Fang Zhao released a photo on the big screen behind him. It was a box, and it was full of neatly arranged military medals.

The buzzing discussion in the auditorium just now quieted down instantly.

"This is what the old man must have asked me to send out. It is the military medal that my great-grandfather and great-grandmother once won. The two old people once served on the battleship Sirius."

Sirius, one of the pioneers of human space exploration in the new century, has been decommissioned. But in various film and television works, it has never disappeared and is well known by people. It itself represents the significance of an era.

In the online forum, the game fans who saw this scene were also surprised.

"Serving on a battleship? Sounds cool!"

"Cool fart! Serving on a battleship is more tiring than mining! And it's more dangerous! Let alone the first batch of battleships, not many people who served on it survived in the end, right?"

"According to these military medals, Fang Zhao's great-grandfather is at least at the regimental level, and is absolutely qualified to be equipped with guns, and they may be equipped with some rare types of guns."

"Envy, those gun Fangzhao must have played."

"Anyway, at least it proves that Fang Zhao's family is not a gangster!"

Now, no one will associate Fang Zhao or Fang Zhao's family with the gangsters who don't know whether they exist. No matter what they are still thinking in their hearts or whether they still have doubts, they will not speak out clearly. Not to mention anything else, as far as this box of military medals and "Sirius service" are concerned, they also have to show respect for the old man. As for whether Fang Zhao really has nothing to do with the gangsters, and whether he has any lives in his hands, they can only rely on evidence to speak No, they don't dare to talk nonsense without proof, and they may get into trouble if they are not careful. It would be fine if Fang Zhao and his great-grandfather were not alive, but the two old people are living well. If it is serious and they are held accountable, they will be miserable.

Fang Zhao ignored everyone's reaction and continued: "When I visited the old man's house on the anniversary holiday last year, I talked with the old man about military service. It was just because of work arrangements that I didn't apply for military service last year. But this year, I have decided to Apply for service in the April term."

For military service, there are two unified application periods a year, April and October.

What Fang Zhao meant was that he would apply for the batch of military service in April this year. What about games? Stop playing? What about the team? The number one throne is finally about to be replaced?

The quiet auditorium also started discussing again. Some people were so happy that they wanted to jump up and set off firecrackers. They racked their brains to squeeze Fang Zhao out, but they didn't expect Fang Zhao to serve in the military! Hahahahaha!

Some people regretted that it would be rare to run into Fang Zhao in the game, and wanted to fight Fang Zhao before he served.

After a brief pause, Fang Zhao continued, "From today onwards, I will temporarily leave "Battle of the Century" until I return from service."

Game fans are dumbfounded. So fast? !

Everyone had too many questions to ask, but Fang Zhao didn't continue. He doesn't need to say too much now, after all, this is the flamingo auction, not his personal meeting, time is limited, after a few key points are briefly mentioned, other people from Silver Wing will naturally be responsible for explaining to the outside world.

If Fang Zhao wants to withdraw temporarily, even if he returns from military service, the position of captain may not be handed over to him again, that is to say, there will only be one captain badge on this team uniform for auction in a short period of time!

Therefore, as soon as the auction started, the numbers went up in a straight line.

On the big screen, the starting price jumped from 10,000 to 100,000, 200,000, 500,000, 800,000...

As time went on, fewer people participated in the auction, but the numbers were still jumping up.

I was preparing for the signature of the sixth simplified volume of "Hui Mao", and the code words were relatively late, and today there are fewer.
