Chapter 959: Bonus Stacking! Game Easter Egg! Real-Life Madness!
"That would be great."
Liu Rulan waved her phone and slightly curled the corners of her mouth.
"That overseas gaming blogger is indeed quite well-known, but I don't think it's enough."
"Internal promotion within the gaming community is far from achieving our overseas promotional goals for 'Time Confrontation'."
He Wenming, who was also her agent, immediately understood her thoughts: "Are you planning to amplify the impact of this incident and expand your social circle?"
"right."
Liu Rulan nodded, "It just so happens that this gaming blogger also has the idea of transforming his career and wants to leverage our popularity to develop his new channel, so we immediately started cooperating after we got in touch."
After confirming that the blogger shared the same idea of creating hype, Liu Rulan increased the stakes in his bounty pool again, adding extra prize money to attract more participants, and even getting the official "Deep Blue Speed" team involved...
Sure enough, the effect was excellent. After all, it was something that could bring in money directly, so who wouldn't be tempted to stay and take a few more glances?
—Maybe I'll be that lucky one?

So when Kanli's latest work was published, he added another element to his challenge.
"I didn't expect to get the final answer about the existence of 'he' so quickly after the video was released—a young Chinese actor. I remember the last time I saw his work was in 'Ford v Ferrari 7,' and I still have the poster of Shan Cheng and his racing car."
"Obviously, while I was frantically searching for him, he was live-streaming from the other side of the coast, letting his fans witness it all."
The young man shrugged helplessly, looking quite distressed. He clearly regretted posting the video too early, missing out on the readily available information, and even spending a lot of money on it.
However, only he himself knows how much of his pained expression about money is genuine.
The audience was on tenterhooks.
【Damn it, Kanli, don't tell me you're taking back the reward for the clue from the last video! I forwarded it to you the moment I saw the Xiao He clip; I deserve a share of that reward!】
【If you dare take back my bonus, you're dead.】
【If this continues, I'm going to unfollow.】
Fortunately, what everyone feared did not happen.
Kanli paused deliberately here to make his performance seem more genuine.
These netizens were unaware that Kanli's tactic was called a "live-streaming sob story clearance sale."
The main focus is on "creating benefits for family members".
“But since the promise has been made, I, Kanli, will absolutely not go back on my word. So the bounty I mentioned in my last video is still valid. I will divide the total reward pool equally and then redeem it to all the accounts that provided relevant clues before this video was published.”
"At the same time, because 'he' has a relatively special identity, I haven't been able to find a way to contact him yet, and since he's a celebrity in China, he might not agree to participate in my video as a gaming blogger. So I've decided to raise the challenge amount again—"
As Kanli made his move, the prize pool behind him emitted money effects once again, with more banknotes falling out of thin air. The numbers on the prize pool also jumped and stacked wildly, doubling in size and increasing the prize amount even more.
This golden scene left countless viewers envious and regretful.
【Damn it, I didn't realize he was a Chinese actor. Why didn't I watch their New Year's Eve gala?】
【It's Xiao He's own New Year's Eve livestream! It's supposedly an internal fan event, which means that those who won the clue prize are very likely his fans.】
【Oh my god, I missed all of this!】
However, they didn't regret it for long.
Because Kanli posted his second challenge.
"So I made a crazy decision—"
Kanli turned to the side, flipped the game screen in front of him, and showed everyone the cover of the game "Deep Blue Speed".
"Friends, I promise this is a very bold challenge! I want to get everyone involved in this world record attempt!"
It's clear that this event may have been endorsed and promoted by the official Deep Blue Speed game team, as the video was quickly uploaded to the game's internal website shortly after its release.
"The player who wins first place on the Yizhuang map speedrun leaderboard in 'Deep Blue Speed' will take home all the challenge prizes we're offering—remember, the map is limited to Yizhuang..."
"In addition, I just learned that the official team is preparing to release another little Easter egg."
Kanli held up the map in his hand, which clearly showed a map of Beijing, China.
"Many players may not know that the prototype of the Yizhuang map in the game is Yizhuang in Beijing. Moreover, they just held a GT3 competition last year. Therefore, the official design of Deep Blue Speed is based on this map, which basically restores the real situation and replicates every detail one by one."
"The credit goes to the official team for their meticulous attention to detail and accurate recreation; the vehicles players choose in the game are consistent with their real-world counterparts."
"So, in other words, if someone can run a race in under five minutes in real life, then there's a high probability that they can also run a race in under five minutes in the game. And according to my research, the best time here in the last GT3 race was four minutes and nine seconds! That directly surpassed the current racing record of fifty seconds! This also means that the racing limit of this map can continue to be broken."
"I know that Xiao He is not only an actor in China, but also an excellent race car driver. Therefore, here, the official team of the game 'Deep Blue Speed' and I will be holding a racing competition in Beijing, China, to challenge real-life race car drivers—"
Now almost everyone understood Kanli's idea.
This time, he's not just challenging the game, but also real racing records!
Xiao He is a gamer who can break world records. Are there any other racers in reality who can break the game records set by gamers and take down the real-world world record?
If Xiao He can do it, then can others do it too?
Immediately, with the release of Kanli's latest video, the entire international internet was abuzz.
High prize money, well-known gaming bloggers on the platform, Chinese celebrities, and globally renowned games—
These elements, combined together, attracted countless people.
Some people are also looking forward to this real-world racing competition, experiencing a thrilling connection between reality and virtuality.
While famous race car drivers might scoff at the prize money, many amateur enthusiasts are still willing to join in the fun.
So when the video from the foreign website was transmitted back to China, the huge prize money instantly stirred up the domestic racing and motorsports circles.
Yizhuang is our own country's racing track, so we should have a home advantage, right?
We can't let foreigners steal our world records!
Players: I may not know how to drive a racing car, but surely I know how to play a game?
Race car drivers: I may not know how to play video games, but surely I can drive a race car?
In no time, what was originally an activity that was just for fun within the industry was spread to various platforms both at home and abroad.
