There really is an electronic invitation in the mailbox.
Yu Feng switched back to the Polestar official website, looking at the announcement:
"The upcoming release of the World War I Series game, as well as the sequel to World War II: Empire’s Rise, Cold War Clouds."
"In the sequel Cold War Clouds to World War II: Empire’s Rise, the Republic faction will be open, and the Republic storyline will trigger randomly."
"The chairman of Polestar Company, Zhao Ming, will personally introduce and answer player questions at the launch."
"Personally? Are you sure?"
"If it wasn’t for the whole hologram fooling around last time, he would definitely have been beaten."
"Last time, he also said personally, right?!"
"You can’t trust what Zhao the old thief says!"
After Yu Feng complained a bit, he realized that this guy also said personally last time, but ended up with a hologram, which infuriated the players.
Spoof photos circulated for quite a while, then looking at the announcement:
"That’s pretty soon."
"There’s a CG too, but why only 10 seconds?"
Yu Feng felt puzzled and clicked on the CG animation.
The pitch-black screen suddenly lit up.
Words appeared, followed by a dimly lit hall.
The only chandelier cast a faint yellow light, illuminating the giant world map at the center of the long table below.
Three indistinct silhouettes sat around the long table; the figure on the left holding a cigar, its smoke wafting upwards, pointing to a spot on the giant world map of the Empire.
The figure in the middle sat in a wheelchair, nodding slightly, with a hint of a smile, while constantly using a pencil to outline on the map.
The figure on the right had an unclear appearance, but the thick military uniform shoulders and the pipe dangling from the mouth made Yu Feng hold his breath.
These three silhouettes could almost be identified in the minds of Blue Star players.
At this moment, the figure on the right raised his hand again, pointed at a location on the Empire’s giant map, and glanced at the other two.
The other two didn’t object, with a slight upward curve on the corners of all three shadows.
Yu Feng clicked his tongue, feeling a bit excited, huh?!
Is this partitioning the world?
However, it’s not over yet!
Like a silent CG, suddenly the sound of tearing the map echoed with a ’swish’, startling Yu Feng, as he focused again, the center of the map had shifted from Europe to Asia.
Yu Feng’s eyes widened, watching the silhouette on the far right gradually raise a hand, pointing to a spot in the Republic.
The finger touched the map, indeed landing on the territory of the Republic!
This oppressive feeling, even from watching the video, made Yu Feng tense up.
The scene suddenly switched.
But this time, the scene had color, showing the environment of a farmer’s clay house, where a complete map of the Republic hung on the clay wall.
Covered all over with dense red and blue arrows.
While only one figure wore a washed-out gray military uniform, facing away from the viewpoint, looking at the map.
That figure, with a hand clasping an unlit cigarette, the CG perspective slowly swept across the Yangtze and Yellow River basins on the map.
The scene ended here!
A short ten-second CG yet shook the minds.
That last scene... is it the Republic?!
America, England, Soviet Union... How should the Republic break through?
These questions accompanied by the CG appeared in the minds of countless Blue Star players, which initially felt like the 7-day wait for the release was not long.
But now... 7 days feels a bit too long, huh?!
Why doesn’t Zhao the old thief hold the press conference now??)
Yu Feng also came to his senses, exhaling deeply:
"Polestar’s CG is really something."
"It’s extraordinary."
"Great Power Struggle, ssss—"
"Just watching the CG is thrilling."
"How will the Republic break the impasse, facing the Soviet Union, the United States of America, these countries?"
"A bit too long, huh."
"Won’t be able to sleep tonight."
Yu Feng finished watching the CG, with his interest piqued.
Then started another round... a few minutes later.
"Well, died even quicker this time."
"I guess I’ll wait for the Cold War Clouds sequel to release."
Yu Feng was playing the Huaxia Series, when the barrage in the live stream told him to go back to play World War II: Empire’s Rise.
"The press conference hasn’t been held yet?"
"Is there new hidden storyline?"
Yu Feng checked the player forum, where numerous posts of leaks were everywhere, he clicked on one, instantly dumbfounded:
"The Empire hasn’t even collapsed, why are they starting to divvy up the interests?"
