Chapter 314: Chapter 314 Stunning Holographic Games

Translator: Doggotranslation

The meal tonight was dedicated to Yi Hu. There was a large amount of wine, which he could use to mourn his lost love. Zhou Yu had to admit that the silly bird would always be a silly bird. Before drinking, there were tears in the corner of his eyes, but after two glasses of wins, he began to sing and dance the sword with great joy.

Waking up the next day, Zhou Yu noticed that Yi Hu had already disappeared, leaving a note stating that he must marry some girl this year, and then take her to his hometown for New Year.

Alas, hopefully, he would be able to find a good girl for him now.

Shit! I forgot about an idol academy blueprint. God Damnit, I was so happy and drank so many yesterday that I forgot this completely.

Now Yi Hu had no attachment to Luhua City. It was difficult to guarantee that he would come back again. Originally, Zhou Yu wanted to get those good things from him, but in the end, he forgot to mention it.

It was such a shame.

While Zhou Yu was thinking about this, he suddenly discovered that there was another quest in his quest log, which was about the flying silly bird. Yi Hu, who obviously very talented but can't find himself a wife, has sent you a quest. He hopes that you can find him a girlfriend before the Spring Festival this year so that he can go home for the Chinese New Year.

The quest reward is the blueprint of the Idol Academy.

Holy shit, how much does this guy want a wife? It was still quite unbelievable that as long as he could find a girl for him, he would get this idol academy. Thinking about how he got the flying bird knight Academy blueprint from the Starlight knight's regiment, Zhou Yu wondered if this quest would be as difficult as that one.

Anyway, the quest limit was at least about ten months, so it was not impossible to try it. Moreover, he just needed to be a matchmaker, there was no need for him to introduce his daughters to him. He just needed to spread the words out, and then he might be able to get something. After all, he was a strong man who could compete with Starlight Knights, even if he was a little bit silly, finding a wife should not be that difficult.

So, Zhou Yu decided to be a matchmaker.

The card was eventually returned to the amusement park without incident. It made many people sigh in secret. Originally, people thought that there would be an intense police-chasing-thieves drama, and the card may end up in the black market, and as long as someone could figure out the technology behind the card, they would become rich overnight.

However, getting something from the amusement park was still as difficult as it used to be. The thieves still failed in the end.

Regarding the cards, the amusement park said that it was difficult to commercialize this holographic game, they would not continue the research in this area. What kind of joke was this? They already had a working prototype. It meant that they must have spent a lot of money researching it. As long as they carried on with the research, they would definitely be able to overcome this commercialization problem, but why did they give up?

If there was a lack of money, so many technology companies, whether domestic or international, they all had no problem investing in it. At worst, they could sell the card in the black market and get the money that way. As long as Zhou Yu asked, there would be no shortage of funds at all.

However, Zhou Yu still didn't change his statement.

After taking back the stolen card, he was still living in the same life as before, clearly ignoring everyone's complaints outside. The era of holographic games seemed to be waving to players, but it seemed to be blocked by a thin layer of veils, it was very frustrating.

The Star Map Master Contest would be the only opportunity to play the holographic game at present, so whether it was the players of the game or those who wanted to get more information, they were devoted wholeheartedly to increase the ranks on the official website. The ranking of the top ten was changing rapidly, and the battle had not stopped until the last moment of the deadline, which showed the intensity of the battle.

Eventually, the top ten players were decided, and they would be gathered in the amusement park to have a final contest in a holographic environment. In addition, the top twenty players were also invited. In addition to giving them rewards, they were also used as backups, in case there were some accidents, and some people from the top ten list would not be able to show up. If that happened, then the top twenty players would be used to replace the missing player.

With the contest gaining more and more attention, various media have requested permission to enter the amusement park to broadcast this event. After all, there was a strange ban on the amusement park. Without Zhou Yu's permission, the media couldn't enter the park at all.

Thinking that Luhua city in the ACG world also needed some more popularity, Zhou Yu agreed to lift the ban temporarily. After all, there were too many idols in Luhua City, and it needed more popularity to maintain.

Anyway, on the day of the contest, the number of people in the amusement park skyrocketed, and the tourists also changed from families to young people, and all these young people had slightly otaku looks on them. Many people were wearing the costumes of the Star Map game, and it has indeed become a star map theme park.

However, after all, these were just appetizers, the real main meal was still that mysterious holographic game.

In the dueling hall, a large table was surrounded by a red line, and a dozen sturdy security guards stood on the side to prevent those taking pictures from entering the red line. And on the table, it was the holographic game machine: Star Map Disc that many people wanted to get.

With its gorgeous appearance and cutting-edge technology, it turned a game contest into a technology exhibition.

The contest was about to start, and the host was demonstrating how to use the Star Map Disc. Originally, the host should have been Zhou Yu, because only he was one that was the most familiar with those devices, but he did not like to show up on such occasions, so he let Little Rat, who played very often with him, explain.

Seeing a little kid was playing with the holographic device so casually, the tech spectators that were watching were extremely nervous. Oh, come on, be gentle, and be careful don't drop it.

After a pair of Star Map Discs were connected, a light blue light lit up the ‘Battlefield', and then many grids showed up on the table.

After the draw, the two players in the first game were ready. They would choose fifty cards they liked from a large number of cards that were available, and then play against each other. After all, the number of cards produced was not a lot, so it was impossible to give every player a set of cards. So in order to host a fair contest, every time when two players showed up, they had to take turns choosing cards.

After the selection, Little Rat, who was wearing a formal dress, acted as a referee with a serious face and put the deck into each player's Star Map disc, and then the disc would shuffle the cards. Each player would start with five cards first, and then the disc would spit out one card each round until the battle was over or all the cards were drawn.

The first two players were also a bit nervous, after all, they were the first two that played in this contest.

When the player who got the first move put a virtual card in a grid, a fairy suddenly jumped out while shouting its famous line, making the audience exclaimed in amazement.

It was true! It was really true!

In videos, it looked like people modified CG into the video, but when they saw it in person, it was extremely incredible. Countless cameras were taking various pictures of the fairy non-stop, and those tech experts also never moved their cameras away from the working Star Map Disc. All kinds of videos and pictures were taken almost from every angle possible. If it weren't for those muscular security guards, many people would have rushed up to get a close shot.

But the amazing scene continued.
