Chapter 150 Galaxy Times 2 (2/2)
The players were all engrossed in the scenes. They were all exhilarating moments.
I didn't know I got selected to be in the promotional video!
Han Xiao was a little surprised. He still remembered the promotional video from his previous life. The scene for the Mechanic class was just the process to produce machinery, and most players assumed that it was a more of a support role. Hence, only a few players switched to the mechanic class.
According to the first version, the proportion of players in the mechanic class was only 9.7%! This promotional video alone attracted tons of interest from the players. The Mechanic class would not be as bleak as before. He was not afraid to risk players complaining and regretting on the forums in exchange for attracting more players over.
This promotional video also improved his popularity, and this was much more effective than word of mouth. Han Xiao was overjoyed. He expected his fame to shoot up in no time.
The next segment on the program was about professional players. The male host said, ”Within ten days of the public beta, tons of famous esports clubs have shifted to Galaxy, and according to statistics, Esper is currently the most popular class. This class is a lucky draw. If you get a high-level skill, it is equal to ten million lottery tickets! The future is unlimited!
”It is known that the United States, South Korea, France, Japan, and Switzerland all have accounts with A-class potential ratings, and the various big clubs have offered prices for these accounts, some up to millions of US dollars.”
The screen flashed wildly. Almost a million US dollars to buy a novice account? It was simply a lottery! Good luck would mean making a fortune immediately.
”Breaking News: The American Devil Club, Sandstorm Club, France Tulip Club, and the Korean Four Stars Club have already bought the accounts. They will be used by the club's elite players.
”The God-level players will still be using their own accounts… American elite player 'King and Queen' has changed to the magician class and was rewarded with a rare skill through a hidden quest. French elite player 'Lost Angel' has chosen to start at random, and he seems to have obtained an opportunity. South Korean…”
Foreign esports players all seemed to be performing very well. China's esports scene was not weak either, but only a few had managed to hit the top spots. Champions of many events had long been occupied by players from the United States, France, Japan, and South Korea. If one could win a championship, local players would celebrate as though it was a festival. They would be bringing honor to their country.
”Local players are performing rather well. A player by the name of 'Maple Moon' completed the Prize-Pool Mission on her own, gaining hundreds of thousands of experience points and becoming the biggest winner. It will be extremely beneficial for her future development. Who knows? Maybe the advantages would come snowballing in. This task was related to Black Phantom…
”A dark horse by the ID of 'Frenzied Sword' was among the professional players. During a meeting at Jiang Cheng club, where Frenzied Sword was yesterday, they had released a video. It was the battle scene in the promotional clip with Black Phantom, and I believe everyone also noticed Frenzied Sword. He seems to have triggered Black Phantom's hidden quest…”
The clip of Frenzied Sword was sent in by Sleepy Winter. In order to raise their profile, the club had used it for publicity, just when the Chinese professional players were feeling down about their lack of outstanding performances. This brought Frenzied Sword lots of attention.
”That is the end of this week's content, and we look forward to seeing you next time! The following are questions for the lucky draw. During this episode, how many times was Black Phantom mentioned? Please drop a message to the official account. We will select ten people…”
Han Xiao could not stop laughing. He then switched off the screen.
Han Xiao's name came up the most in the entire show. The audience had the perception that that everything good had some kind of correlation to Black Phantom.
Black Phantom meant opportunity!
Han Xiao did not expect his name to appear on the screen so many times. His plan had some good returns. His popularity had risen yet again. And more importantly, after the program was broadcasted, more players would come to change their class, allowing him to earn more experience points.
He did a rough estimate. Based on this trend, the number of mechanic players on Aquamarine would likely be two or three levels higher than previously.
