Chapter 320 Connor, the Negotiation Expert

Lighthouse Country, Storm Entertainment Headquarters.

Moreno frowned and asked into the phone microphone: "Rejected? Not even willing to meet with our Storm Entertainment China Region Director in person?"

"Yes, sir, the negotiation failed." The other party's response came from the phone.

Hearing this, Moreno frowned and sneered, "It seems that this colleague is really arrogant."

"However, the news from the middleman said that Lin Mo did not disagree with the game's release date, but because the game's release date has been announced, another release date will disappoint the players. If the game's release date has not been announced, he doesn't mind giving his colleague a face."

Moreno snorted coldly and cursed, "Hypocrisy, disappointing the players? Haha. This Lin Mo is very arrogant. He doesn't even want to give face to my Baofeng Entertainment?"

"I thought this matter could be negotiated. I heard that Lin Mo is also our game player. When he was still a UP host, he made a video of "Cosmic Rift". Rumors also said that he played the "Warzone" series and his skills are not bad."

Of course, I knew about this and did research.

But I was still very dissatisfied with being rejected.

I thought that since he was a player of Baofeng Entertainment and was approached by a behemoth like Baofeng Entertainment, he would give face.

After all, Naughty Cat has an astonishing number of new releases every year, and it is not a problem to postpone a game for one or two months occasionally.

But it was still rejected.

Coupled with the previous E4 incident, Moreno, the CEO, was in a very bad mood.

Most of the resources in an industry are concentrated in the industry of the top companies, and the top companies have to look at each other.

It is true that there is competition between them, and there are also many cooperations with each other, and this kind of small face is normally given.

Unexpectedly, Naughty Cat suffered a setback.

It really didn't give any face.

After a moment of silence, a voice came from the phone: "Sir, I still don't recommend taking any action on Naughty Cat's side. This is not a cat, it's a tiger."

Moreno said lightly: "There is no intersection in business at present, but if there is a chance, I don't mind letting Naughty Cat know about the embarrassment of Baofeng Entertainment now."

After that, he hung up the phone without hesitation.

Then, he angrily cursed "Damn it."

The upcoming release of "Detroit: Become Human" not only makes EA very uncomfortable, but also makes Baofeng Entertainment very dissatisfied.

With the interactive movie game trend set off by "It's Over! I'm Surrounded by Beautiful Women", everyone wants to take advantage of the popularity.

Players are also very interested in this type of game.

Originally, "Future World" was all good, which could attract the attention of players, and use this wave of topics and the fact that "Future World" currently has no competitors to attract non-Baofeng Entertainment players to download the platform.

It plays a perfect publicity role.

As a result, the luck was very bad, and a more invincible interactive movie game appeared.

Naughty Cat's "Detroit: Become Human".

This time, not only EA, but also Baofeng Entertainment felt uncomfortable as if they had eaten shit.

The limelight was robbed.

It means that a lot of publicity money has been wasted and turned into nothing.

Moreno even has a plan. If Naughty Cat can delay the release of "Detroit: Become Human", he can even make some profits.

If this doesn't work

Moreno snorted coldly.

In the second half of each year, you Naughty Cat better not release a shooting game.

Otherwise, the "Warzone" series will let you know what a shooting game is!

The manufacturer's actions did not affect the players who were looking forward to the game at all.

Within ten days after the release of "It's Over! I'm Surrounded by Bionics", the craze for interactive film and games continued.

During this period, countless inferior games imitating "It's Over! I'm Surrounded by Beauties" were released, and they all achieved good sales data.

But many people also know that these are just appetizers for players.

The real feast will be officially released on the 30th.

The first 3A-level masterpiece of this type of game since its release.

On the day of release.

Meng Dazui let out a long breath, looked at the endgame lost at 14:16 with regret, called up the console, and entered quit to exit the game.

"Okay, brothers, let's stop playing CSGO today. My teammates are too weird."

With that, he returned to the desktop without hesitation and double-clicked the icon of a stand-alone game.

"Oh no, Detroit: Become Human, start it!"

[Damn, you cunning old thief]

[CSGO is work, stand-alone games are life, right]

[I know that every time Naughty Cat releases a new game, you guys just mess around with CSGO time and then slack off]

"Hehe, brothers understand me." Meng Dazui smiled, "The key is, aren't you curious? You all played the DLC last time, don't you want to take a look?"

In the past, when new games were released, the audience was generally resistant to playing them.

However, "Detroit: Become Human" and interactive film games, this fresh game type and excellent program effect, still attracted countless players.

When the game was unlocked, almost all the live broadcasts in the game area on the Shark platform were replaced with this game.

Meng Dazui, he started live broadcasting relatively late!

It is not surprising that he is popular on the live broadcast platform.

The large number of options in the game leads to different game processes for each anchor.

It also allows many anchors to give full play to their personality in various game options.

The program effect is so good.

This has been proven when the DLC "Finished! I'm Surrounded by Bionics" was launched.

But that is still a DLC with advertising as its main purpose.

Will there be any new surprises in the official version of the game?

At this time, a sudden eye-catching paid bullet screen floated out and appeared in a prominent position that everyone can see.

[Anchor, what do you think of this game compared to "Future World"? 】

Meng Dazui was also amused when he saw this comment, and then said with a smile: "What a joke, this is Naughty Cat's game. "Detroit: Become Human" is very interactive, maybe the interactivity of a UI is stronger than the entire game "Future World". Okay, just a joke."

As soon as this was said, although it was a joke, it still caused a lot of attacks.

[I know you are a fan of Naughty Cat, but you can't slander other companies' games like this, right? ]

[How dare you say that, the UI is more interactive than other people's games? ]

[Beautiful black! ]

Everyone's live broadcast room will have this kind of rhythm-leading situation, especially Baofeng Entertainment has been promoting it at full speed recently, and this situation is more common.

Meng Dazui was too lazy to pay attention and went straight into the game.

Let's play!

After the cat LOGO with a light ring on the temple at the beginning of the film passed, the game officially started.

Just as soon as it came up, Meng Dazui was seriously surprised.

Instead of entering the UI interface immediately, a beautiful android lady appeared.

She inherited the consistent tradition of the game, and she looked very good, with an aesthetic close to reality.

When she spoke, you could see the movements of the muscles on her face, and her micro-expressions gave off a feeling that it was not a game modeling, but a real person.

"Hello! Welcome to the game experience of "Detroit: Become Human". I am a android and your exclusive waiter. Before we start, please set it up to enhance your gaming experience."

Meng Dazui said with some surprise: "Okay, this opening directly points out the theme of the game, and the sense of substitution is full."

The android lady's name is Chloe.

She helped with the entire opening setting process, and explained it throughout the process. There was a feeling that this was not like a game image, but like there was really a android communicating on the other side of the screen, and even gave suggestions based on the player's monitor machine configuration.

After all the settings were completed.

"Get ready, you are about to enter the world of Detroit. Don't forget, this is not just a fictional story, it is also our future."

Speaking of this, Chloe's expression became much more serious, even a little sad.

Meng Dazui nodded excitedly and said, "Okay, after playing so many games, this game gives me a very different first impression."

The screen went black and a time appeared.

August 15, 2038, 8:29 p.m.

As the time appeared, there was a sound of coin flicking.

The screen gradually lit up.

A bionic man was watching the elevator gradually rise in the elevator, playing with a coin in his hand.

The coin flew up and down on his fingertips, playing fancy and cool.

The first protagonist, Connor, appeared.

Entering the room, this is a luxurious apartment for a rich man.

Seeing Connor coming up, a crying mother with red eyes rushed over: "Please, please, you must save my daughter."

But after seeing Connor's appearance carefully, the mother's expression immediately changed.

"Wait, you're going to send a bionic man? You can't do that! You can't do that. Why don't you send a real person?"

The crying mother was pulled away by the police in the building, and Connor's work began.

But it's not just the victims, even the police force is full of distrust.

"Why send a bionic man to negotiate? That guy may jump down at any time!"

Meng Dazui curled his lips in disdain: "It's really full of discrimination against bionic people. I want Connor to turn around and leave, but it's a pity that I don't have this function."

Through the conversation with the captain of the police force, it was learned that a hostage hijacking incident occurred in this house.

An abnormal bionic man shot and killed the male owner and hijacked a little girl on the rooftop, and danger could occur at any time.

The goal is to rescue the girl at all costs.

For this purpose, Connor needs to collect information.

There are many interactive items in the house, and each interaction will get some information.

If you know some important information, you can increase the chances of success in negotiation and saving the girl.

Through interactive gameplay, the truth of the matter is gradually pieced together.

The bionic man is a male servant named Daniel, who has a good past with this family and has a very good relationship with the little girl Emma.

However, the male owner plans to buy the latest bionic man to replace him.

As a result, Daniel has extremely painful emotions, and the impulse makes things out of control.

During Connor's exploration, you can also hear hysterical roars on the rooftop and the occasional shooting.

"The information search is complete, and it's time to negotiate!" Meng Dazui is full of confidence, "I tell you, I have been eloquent since I was a child. If I hadn't played the game well, I would really be a negotiation expert. I am a professional."

As he said, he controlled Connor to walk to the rooftop.

What greeted him was a bullet from the abnormal bionic man Daniel, which hit Connor in the chest, and blue blood splattered.

The rapid BGM, the fully armed special police, and the emotional arrangement like a movie, the atmosphere instantly became tense.

Connor, who was shot, felt no pain at all, and he slowly walked forward.

Daniel: "Don't come over! If you come over again, I will jump!"

Relying on the information collected in advance, Connor approached step by step.

"I know you are very angry, Daniel, but you must believe me and let me help you."

"I don't want help! No one can help me!"

Seeing the increase in the chance of success, Meng Dazui nodded and said: "This is because we have collected important information and know that his name is Daniel, so we have gained trust. I tell you, in this case, you have to use both kindness and force to achieve the best negotiation effect."

There was an injured police officer lying on the rooftop, and Connor went forward to check.

"He's losing blood. If he doesn't get medical treatment, he'll die. I need to put a tourniquet on him."

But this action irritated Daniel, and a bullet was fired, sparking near Connor.

"Don't touch him, or I'll kill you!"

At this time, two options appeared.

[Ignore]

[Obey]

Seeing these two options, Meng Dazui chose to ignore without hesitation.

"This is a life, we can't just not save it, right?"

Just after making this choice, the probability of mission success has dropped to 66%.

Daniel's expression became more nervous, and even Lao Xue changed his sitting position uncomfortably.

Daniel continued to question: "Do you have a gun!"

[Tell the truth]

[Lie]

Lao Xue analyzed and said: "Of course, this can't be said, as an extra insurance."

Choose to lie, and the mission completion rate will not change.

Then four options appeared in front of him again.

[Possible reasons]

[You and Emma]

[Pragmatic]

[Abnormal]

The first two options are the ones obtained by collecting information.

Choose while walking slowly forward.

"I know you and Emma have a good relationship. You think she betrayed you, but she did nothing wrong."

"She lied to me! I thought she was just like other humans!"

Relying on the information and data collected in the room before, although Daniel was still very excited, the probability of completing the task was gradually increasing. Daniel's emotions were recovering and slowly rising to 82%.

The color of the light ring on the temple also changed from red, which represented negative emotions such as tension and irritability, to blue, which represented calmness.

"They are going to replace you, and you are very unhappy, right?"

Daniel's voice was a little crying.

"I thought I was a part of this family, I thought they cared about me, but it turned out that I was just a toy, an item that was thrown away after use!"

The task completion rate was further increased to 86%.

Meng Dazui laughed and said, "Look, what is the strength of a negotiation expert? Just watch, I will let this unlucky little guy and the little girl survive."

[Haha, wait for the unlucky little guy and the little girl to be killed by you]

[Is it possible that all three parties will be wiped out! ]

While speaking, new options popped up.

[Give practical suggestions]

[Blame Daniel]

[Point out the software malfunction]

Meng Dazui thought for a while and said, "At this time, we can't put pressure on the other party, so we have to blame the unstable software."

Choose.

"Your function is malfunctioning, Daniel. There is a problem with your software. We will fix you and everything will be fine."

"I am not malfunctioning! Everything is normal for me!"

Instantly, the completion probability dropped sharply.

Meng Dazui took a breath and his face tensed up instantly, as if he was afraid that Daniel on the other side would jump down.

"Damn, that's unscientific?!"

Daniel, who was not in a good mood, glanced at the helicopter in the sky and shouted loudly: "This sound is too loud! Tell it to leave!"

Meng Dazui hurriedly did as he was told and directed the helicopter to fly away.

Fortunately, the probability of completion increased a lot this time.

Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, a new option came again.

[Last chance]

[Gain trust]

[Bluff]

[Rational]

Choose the second one.

"You have to believe me, Daniel! Release the hostages, I promise nothing will happen."

"I want everyone to leave, and I want a car! I will release her as soon as I leave Detroit."

At this time, a new option appeared again.

[Use a gun]

[Sacrifice yourself]

[Compromise]

[Refuse]

Meng Dazui frowned and thought carefully, and said: "Loose and tight, loose and tight. You can't give in blindly. This is a negotiation skill. So, here you have to refuse first, and then put forward your own conditions. Brothers who have run sales must know that you must bravely put forward your own needs to customers."

After choosing, Connor on the screen said: "That's impossible. As a robot, you must obey. Put down the gun and release the hostages!"

"I have been obeying the orders of others all my life." Daniel was emotional for a moment after hearing this, and he actually changed to a free and easy expression, "This time I will decide."

Then, without hesitation, he fell backwards with the little girl and jumped off a building hundreds of meters high.

Only the little girl's desperate screams and Connor's unbelievable expression were left.

"Ah?! Failed! It's not big brother, how can you jump just like you say!" Meng Dazui looked like he was about to vomit blood, "We can discuss it, big brother!"

[Hahahaha! The negotiation failed, what did I say? 】

[Laughing to death, maybe Connor is an expert, but you, Meng Dazui, are not]

[It's screwed up, hahahaha]

[I told you, you can't put pressure on others, just gain trust]

On the screen, a big mission failure popped up, but the plot continued to move forward.

After the plot ended, the plot branch of this small chapter popped up.

The densely packed branch items and the large number of endings made Meng Dazui take a breath.

"Fuck, this is too much, right? I thought that the story in "Done" was interesting enough and quite complicated. But in "Detroit: Become Human", with only 20 minutes of plot, the branching options and interactive elements are comparable to the entire game of "Done"?!"

[Of course, this is Lin Mo's game after all]

["Done" is pretty good, but Lao Xue is not a professional gamer after all, and the investment is small]

Seeing this, Meng Dazui immediately reloaded the file and returned to before the negotiation began.

"Brothers, let's do it again! I don't believe that I can't save this unlucky guy and the girl!"

During this negotiation, Meng Dazui tried some options that he had not chosen before out of curiosity, which made Daniel more excited and the software very unstable.

Seeing him so excited, Meng Dazui felt something was wrong and chose to draw his gun directly!

"Boy, you are facing the Gun God of Purgatory Town. I advise you to calm down!"

Connor: "Calm down, Daniel. This is not what you want."

Daniel: "You lied to me. You lied to me!!"

Two choices appeared on the screen again, shooting and persuading.

Meng Dazui thought for a while and said, "If I shoot, won't the little girl fall down from the rooftop? Let's persuade her."

However, Daniel showed a ferocious expression when facing Connor who wanted to persuade him to put down the gun.

Aiming at the muzzle of the little girl, he turned it instantly and shot at Connor!

There was only a "bang".

A blue blood hole appeared between Connor's eyebrows, and his whole body fell down weakly.

Daniel's emotions also completely collapsed.

"I, I don't want to do this! No, no! You forced me, I have no choice"

Then, he jumped.

Seeing this, Meng Dazui angrily pounded the table.

"Damn, I thought I could let me aim myself!"

[Are you sure you are a negotiation expert, not a negotiation expert? 】

[Little girl: I really am a tyrant]

[Special police said you are causing trouble, there wouldn't be so many things without you]

[No, there is really an ending where all three parties are wiped out]

Two bad endings in a row, mission failed.

Meng Dazui said somewhat unconvinced: "Actually, I can guess how the negotiation will be completed. But I just want to see, Lin Mo, how many BEs you have done!"

Reload the file again, experiment again.

The ending where Connor and Daniel fall from the building together, but save the little girl.

After gaining trust, they approached, tried to snatch the gun, and wrestled together, and were kicked downstairs.

In order to protect Daniel from being killed, the two were killed by their own sniper by mistake.

Daniel shot himself in the temple.

One after another, each different.

There is even an ending where if you do not do your job properly from the moment you enter the door, or even accidentally destroy some of the scenes, you will be expelled from the apartment by the SWAT captain, which will directly lead to the failure of the mission.

Meng Dazui's scalp was numb from the experiment, and this short plot took a full 90 minutes.

Only twice did I see the words "mission successful".

Once, Connor shot Daniel and saved the girl.

Once, Connor gained Daniel's trust, and while putting down his weapon and the little girl, Connor nodded slightly coldly.

The sniper shot without hesitation and killed Daniel.

In addition, there are more than a dozen failure options, which include various ways of death for Daniel and Connor.

Meng Dazui let out a long breath, tapped the screen, and said, "This is the definition of what an interactive movie game is. Players can choose whatever options they want, which will lead to different endings. I feel a little sympathetic. How can this "Future World" compete?" (End of this chapter)
